The two films released last week received mixed responses from the audiences. While 'Ongole Gitta (OG)' failed to appease fans, Mirchi lived up to expectations and fared well at the box office. OG had energetic actor Ram paired with B Wood import Kirti Kharbanda (Teen Maar fame). On the other hand, 'Mirchi' had Prabhas paired up with two heroines Richa Gangopadhyay and Anushka Shetty.

OG was made by filmmaker 'Bommarillu' Bhaskar. Film goers expected a wholesome family entertainer from Bhaskar, who resorted to a masala piece to establish his commercial image and failed to make an impact. Kirti, as usual was just a glamor doll restricted for the songs. However Prakash Raj made the difference with his signature style acting.

However 'Mirchi' exceeded expectations. It had all elements of a potboiler well etched by writer turned filmmaker Koratla Siva. In spite of it being a debut venture of the director, he outclassed in  portraying the hero in a different angle. Richa was exuberant in her skin shows while Anushka relied on her versatility. On the whole, 'Mirchi' was a sensation among youth. (Wishesh AarKay)
