Nithiin and Sree Leela’s on-screen pairing has also not impressed viewers yet again. The pair collaborated again after the debacle of Extraordinary Man hoping to redeem their luck. Still, the film opened to adverse reviews and woeful box office results, substantiating that this pair is not clicking.
Right from the start, Robinhood faced issues. Initially, Rashmika Mandanna was going to feature as the heroine, but she had some scheduling issues, so Sree Leela took her place. Nithiin, who was sure of their on-screen chemistry, said that their combination would finally work with Robinhood. Sadly, it doesn’t appear so for the audience.
Robinhood: A Box Office Disappointment
Despite decent pre-release buzz, Robinhood has had a disastrous opening. The film was expected to revive Nithiin’s career, but instead, it has further dented his market.
The film opened to below-average occupancy, even in mass centers.
- Word of mouth turned negative immediately after release, leading to a sharp decline in collections.
- Trade pundits have already marked the film a box office bomb, with week-end figures poised to decide how much damage had been done.
- With successive flops like Extraordinary Man and Robinhood, Nithiin and Sree Leela have turned into an unfortunate on-screen pair.
What Went Wrong?
- Poor Script Selection
Both Nithiin and Sree Leela are under criticism for their project selection. The fans have openly expressed their displeasure, citing that the two need to be more choosy with their projects.
Nithiin, who used to give hits like Ishq and A Aa, has not been doing well in recent times. His recent flops are evidence that his script choice has not been good enough. Sree Leela, who is a favourite for heroine roles, is also being criticized for choosing glamour-based but weak roles.
- Lack of Chemistry
One of the most important elements of a successful romantic combination is good chemistry between the two lead actors. Unfortunately, Nithiin and Sree Leela’s on-screen chemistry has not been able to offer the chemistry that viewers expect from a successful combination.
Their performance in both Extraordinary Man and Robinhood has been labeled as bland and ineffectual. Their chemistry has not been able to connect with the audience as a couple, and hence, their films have not been able to click commercially.
- Poor Storytelling and Execution
Other than their performances, Robinhood has also failed because of weak storytelling. Telugu audiences have become more choosy, seeking good scripts and interesting stories. Sadly, Robinhood is poor on both aspects.
- The screenplay was not fresh, and thus it was predictable and unexciting.
- The comedy and action scenes were disappointing, not being able to entertain even in mass circuits.
- The direction and execution came off as old-fashioned, causing the film to fail to resonate with newer audiences.
- Bad Word of Mouth and Tough Criticism
Even before Robinhood released on screens, social media was full of bad reviews. Both Sree Leela and Nithiin came under fire for their performances, with many accusing them of giving unconvincing and repetitive performances.
Nithiin’s career choices have come under question, with many wondering if he can recover.
Sree Leela is being counseled to concentrate on strong female protagonists instead of banking on only glamour roles.
What’s Next for Nithiin and Sree Leela?
Can Nithiin Revive His Career?
Nithiin’s recent series of flops has created fears regarding his position in the film industry. If he keeps producing flops, it may affect his chances of getting substantial projects.
The actor must redefine himself by:
✅ Selecting new and interesting scripts
✅ Steer clear of repetitive jobs and formulaic storylines
✅ Team up with excellent directors and scriptwriters
Sree Leela: Time to Showcase Her Acting Talents
Sree Leela has been a quick pick-up, but her career hangs in the balance. She is getting stereotyped into work that emphasizes glamour over acting prowess. If longevity is what she seeks in this industry, then she must:
✅ Select tough and acting-based roles
✅ Cast directors who can unlock her best
✅ Steer clear of back-to-back commercial fare with no meat

Verdict: Nithiin-Sree Leela Jodi Needs a Break
The box office debacle of Robinhood has made it evident that Nithiin and Sree Leela’s combination is not clicking. The pair have now delivered two consecutive flops, establishing that the audience does not want to see them sharing screen space.
This is a wake-up call for both the actors. They must think about their decisions and prioritize quality over quantity. If they don’t change, their careers can suffer long-term losses.
