The situation turned very against the Naga Chaitanya-starring film Thank You directed by Vikram K Kumar, despite the fact that it earned favourable reviews from audiences. On the one hand, the combination of rain and on the other the flat narration of Abhiram's life journey fell flat with viewers from all walks of life.

The movie garnered a lot of negative reviews as well, but Naga Chaitanya's box office performance was lower than any other in his career. The opening day box office for Naga Chaitanya's film Thank you was merely 2.50 crores. Never before had a Chaitu film garnered such poor box office results.

One of Naga Chaitanya's worst films is Yuddha Saranam. But the movie also had first-day openings that were higher than this. In a manner, Naga Chaitanya's own skill as a soloist hasn't had much success up to this point.
