Malayalam star Dulquer Salmaan has once again captured the hearts of the Telugu audience with his latest release, Lucky Bhaskar. Directed by Venky Atluri, the film hit theaters on October 31 as a Diwali release and has since been praised for its emotional depth and relatability, especially among family audiences and young viewers.
Lucky Bhaskar has been a much-anticipated return for Dulquer, whose earlier Telugu success, Sitaram, had already won him a dedicated fan base. This latest release is proving to be a festival favorite, as the movie rakes in impressive box office numbers alongside other Diwali hits like Amaran and Ka. Within just three days, the movie has collected over Rs. 18.07 crore, setting a strong pace across Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada markets.
Interestingly, Dulquer Salmaan wasn’t the original choice for Lucky Bhaskar. Initially, the role was offered to Natural Star Nani. However, due to Nani’s commitment to other projects, he couldn’t take up the film. Director Venky Atluri later approached Dulquer, who, impressed by the storyline, agreed to take on the role. Dulquer’s portrayal of a middle-class father and bank employee has received widespread appreciation, with fans noting his versatility and emotional performance as key highlights of the film.
In Lucky Bhaskar, Dulquer shares the screen with Meenakshi Chaudhary, who plays his love interest. Together, they bring to life a story that resonates with the everyday struggles and dreams of a middle-class family, a theme that Venky Atluri has beautifully woven into an emotionally compelling narrative. Produced by Suryadevara Nagavanshi and Sai Saujanya, Lucky Bhaskar not only stands out for its storytelling but also for Dulquer’s stellar performance, which many believe would have marked another hit for Nani had he taken on the role.
As fans and audiences continue to celebrate the film’s success, there’s even more excitement around its upcoming OTT release. Lucky Bhaskar is rumored to premiere on Netflix on November 31, where it will be accessible to a wider audience across India and beyond.
With Lucky Bhaskar’s success, Dulquer Salmaan has further solidified his place in Tollywood, proving his ability to connect with Telugu audiences. As the film continues to perform well in theaters, Lucky Bhaskar is a Diwali release that fans won’t soon forget.
