Salman Khan Joins Hands with Telugu Director

Salman Khan’s latest film, Sikandar, received a disastrous response from audiences and critics. The film did not have much pre-release buzz, which was reflected in the ticket sales, and it got a poor response on day 1 as well. The latest news is that Salman Khan joins hands with Telugu director Harish Shankar.

Salman’s Bad Form Continues: Sikandar gets Poor Response

It is widely known that Salman is one of the biggest superstars of Bollywood, and he is now facing big hurdles with continuous failures. As said above, his latest release, Sikandar, also became a failure.

Now the news is that Salman Khan joins hands with Telugu director Harish Shankar. Harish recently made Mr. Bachchan (Bollywood Movie Raid Remake) with Raviteja, and it was a big failure at the box office. 

Salman Khan to work with Harish Shankar – Mythri Movies to Produce

This will be a great opportunity for the director to make a big comeback. Reportedly, the film will be produced by Mythri Movie Makers. The film will start very immediately, as now Harish Shankar is free, as Ustaad Bhagat Singh will take more time to go on sets again.

It is also being said that Salman Khan is keen to work with Harish Shankar for his next film only. Mythri Movies’ banner is establishing its brand in Bollywood with Telugu directors. They have JAAT, starring Sunny Deol and directed by Gopichand Malineni, which is set to be released on this 10th April.

Empuraan: 200 Cr in 5 Days

After creating a rampage at the box office in its 1st weekend, Mohanlal’s L2: Empuraan continues the sensational run on the 5th day too and takes full advantage of the Eid holiday. Empuraan joined the 200 Cr club today, and that is within just 5 days.

This is the 1st 200 Cr grosser for Mohanlal in his career, and it is also the 2nd Mollywood film to cross 200 Cr mark after Manjummel Boys. The next target for the film is to cross the full run of Manjummel boys [240 Cr] .

By looking at the trend, L2E will cross Manjummel Boys easily. The film has very good chances to do 300 Cr in the full run. The fans of Malayalam cinema are delighted as Mohanlal’s Empuraan joined the 200 Cr club within just 5 days.

Empuraan enters the 200 Cr Club within 5 Days

The good sign for the film is that it is having very good advances for tomorrow as well. In Kerala, the film has crossedthe 50 Cr mark in 5 days and created an all-time record in Kerala for 5 days. The target for the film is to become the 1st 100 Cr grosser in the home state, which is definitely possible with this trend.

Not only in India, the film also became the biggest overseas grosser of this year with the 1st weekend alone by crossing Chhaava’s full run collections.

Empuraan’s Area-wise 1st Weekend Breakup

Kerala: 42 Cr
ROI: 25 Cr
Overseas: 108 Cr

Within just 4 days, Mohanlal and Prithviraj Sukumaran’s worldwide gross is 175 crores; it stands as the all-time 2nd biggest grosser for Malayalam cinema. The movie is only behind Manjummel Boys now, and it will become the industry hit by this week itself.

Empuraan and MAD Square Prove Sequels Are Here to Stay

There has been a rise in sequels in Indian cinema in recent years. Empuraan from Malayalam and MAD Square from Telugu are the latest sequels that have been released in theaters this weekend, and they have proved that sequels are here to stay.

Empuraan and MAD Square Box Office: Both Sequels See Massive Success

Normally, when films get mixed WOM, they can not perform like, and the collections will not be equal to a hit movie’s collections. But for sequels, the situation is different as they carry huge craze.

That is why, even with mixed WOM, sequels are performing like sensational blockbuster range films. The big advantage for a sequel movie is that the audience will not worry much about the content/plot and just want to enjoy the same characters/scenes in a different setup.

Sequel Craze: Whether Small Film or Big Film

Mohanlal’s Empuraan receives mixed talk, but it does a record-breaking collection of 170 cr+ gross in 4 days, setting new benchmarks for Mollywood. Similarly, MAD Square received mixed reviews, but it collected 40 cr+ gross in 3 days.

The film is expected to break even today and is heading towards sensational blockbuster status. The box office performance of Empuraan and MAD Square proves that sequels are here to stay.

L2:Empuraan shatters records: 100 crore overseas in 4 days – A first for Mollywood

L2: Empuraan has created a major sensation at the box office. The film released amidst great hype and buzz lived up to its expectations though receiving mixed reviews and word of mouth. Particularly, the overseas market has stunned everyone including the team for its performance. L2: Empuraan took a major opening there with around $5 Million.

The film’s business was done for 30 crores. To achieve the breakeven mark, it has to collect $9 Million there. This was perceived as risky by many since Mollywood’s biggest film, 2018 collected only around $8 Million there. But, L2: Empuraan shocked all by taking the overseas market by storm. Usually, the mixed word of mouth impacts a film in a big way but L2: Empuraan has no effect on it. The film continues to rake in strong numbers at the box office.

For the opening weekend of 4 days, the film has collected $12 Million meaning that the film has joined 100 crore club. L2: Empuraan has also become the first ever 100 crore overseas grosser for Mollywood and also the biggest overseas grosser Indian film this year. This is indeed a remarkable feat by the film. The film is now eyeing the 150 crore club in the overseas region.

Devara Japan Box Office: Decent Start – Can the Film Continue the Momentum?

All the teams are going to Japan to promote their films, but the numbers are not coming in large, excluding RRR. If we calculate the Devara gross for the weekend, it will be 60L INR.

All Indian films do well on weekends but are not able to maintain the momentum, excluding RRR. We need to see how Devara will do in the long run.

Empuraan Re-censored: Check Details Inside

Mohanlal’s Empuraan is doing a rampage at the box office and getting massive collections in Malayalam. Though the film opened to mixed reviews, it is drawing audiences to the theaters. Meanwhile, due to the controversy over a few scenes, Empuraan gets re-censored.

As said above, the box office performance of L2 Empuraan is outstanding. In just 4 days, the film became the top grosser for Mohanlal and became the all-time top 3 for Malayalam cinema with 170 Cr+ gross collections.

But the controversy hit the team, as many voiced that it hurts the sentiments of Hindus. Actor MohanLal apologized for the same as well. The team went for a recensor due to this, and Mohanlal’s Empuraan got re-censored with a runtime of 177 minutes and 44 seconds. 2 minutes and 8 seconds trimmed from the original due to the latest controversy.

The villain’s name is said to have changed, along with a few minor cuts from the film. A two-minute scene from the movie Empuraan will be taken out because of the ongoing debate and the censor board’s decision. The scene where a pregnant woman gets abused will be removed. Also, the villain’s name will stay as Balraj Patel instead of being changed to Baba Bajrangi.

Sikandar Bombs at the Box Office

Salman Khan’s Sikandar has been one of his least hyped and anticipated movies of the recent times. The film failed to create the buzz and everything went wrong right from promotional content to the teaser . The trailer also received unanimously bad response and the songs also did not work.

Due to such weak buzz, the action thriller opened with outright disaster reviews and word of mouth. Even after releasing on Sunday and festive weekend, Sikandar managed just under 25 Cr nett opening in India which is a disastrous start for the film.

Due to bad reviews and extremely poor audience talk, the advances are extremely poor even on Eid so no much bigger jump is expected today for this AR Murugadoss film.

After today and tomorrow the film will struggle from weekdays and it won’t be a surprise if Sikandar falls for a single digit nett collection in India. This is an outright disaster from a film featuring a star of Salman Khan’s stature.
