2022 was a difficult year for the Telugu film industry, Dhamaka is ending it on a high note. Generally, a year starts off big for the industry with Sankranti releases, but this year had a sub-par Sankranti as the bigger releases were forced to delay at the last minute due to the threat of the Omicron wave. Then there was the whole issue of ticket prices in Andhra Pradesh, which possibly hurt the potential hit, Bheemla Nayak. There was a big win with RRR but on the other side of things, there were massive failures with Radhe Shyam, Liger and Acharya as well. The rest of the year was mostly a dry period with exception of three weeks in August and some laxation here and there with the likes of Major, Masooda and HIT 2.
