Dhurandhar 2 Box Office: Can Sequel Beat ₹1300 Cr Part 1?

0

Dhurandhar, which released in December last year, created a massive sensation in the Hindi belt and emerged as an all-time industry hit with around ₹1300 Cr gross collections.

The film dominated the box office and became one of the biggest successes in recent times. Confident about the franchise’s potential, the makers shot two parts simultaneously.

As a result, the sequel Dhurandhar The Revenge is arriving within a very short gap. The Dhurandhar 2 release is locked for March 19 and is carrying massive anticipation.

Pan-India Anticipation Beyond Hindi Markets

The excitement for Dhurandhar 2 is not limited to Hindi audiences alone. The first part is currently streaming on Netflix in multiple languages and has received a thunderous response across regions.

Because of its strong digital reach, Dhurandhar has built a solid fan base in South markets as well. This Pan-India anticipation is one of the biggest strengths for the sequel.

Can Dhurandhar 2 Beat Part 1?

The biggest question now is whether Dhurandhar The Revenge can live up to the sky-high expectations.

History shows that many multi-part films create massive hype for sequels. Movies like Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, KGF Chapter 2, Pushpa 2: The Rule, and Kantara Chapter 2 have seen huge Pan-India numbers.

However, when it comes to content comparison, many audiences felt that only Baahubali 2 clearly surpassed its first part in terms of storytelling and emotional impact. For other franchises, some viewers felt Part 2 could have been stronger.

So now the spotlight is on Dhurandhar 2.

Box Office Prediction for Dhurandhar 2

If Dhurandhar The Revenge manages to deliver content that matches or exceeds Part 1, it could easily generate much bigger box office numbers than the first film.

With Part 1 collecting ₹1300 Cr gross, the sequel has a strong foundation. The Pan-India buzz is at an all-time high, and Netflix streaming has boosted awareness significantly across all regions.

The hype, the release timing, and the franchise value are all in place. But ultimately, the content will decide whether Dhurandhar 2 becomes another Baahubali 2-level sequel or just a commercial continuation.

With March 19 approaching fast, all eyes are on whether Dhurandhar 2 can create history once again.

Devi Sri Prasad is all set to make his debut as a lead actor with the upcoming film Yellamma. The film is directed by Venu Yeldandi, who previously created a sensation with Balagam.

This marks a major new chapter in DSP’s career, as he transitions from being one of India’s busiest music directors to stepping in front of the camera as a hero.

Special 10-Day Agreement for Yellamma

Despite his packed schedule as a music composer, Devi Sri Prasad has signed a special agreement with producer Dil Raju for Yellamma.

DSP himself revealed that he will dedicate only 10 days per month for the film’s shoot. The remaining time will allow him to continue his music commitments without interruption.

Speaking about the arrangement, DSP shared that Dil Raju assured him the film could be completed smoothly even with this limited schedule.

Sukumar’s Old Plan to Launch DSP as Hero

Interestingly, DSP revealed in a recent interview that director Sukumar had planned to introduce him as a hero long ago. However, due to the unfortunate demise of his father, DSP could not focus on that project at the time, and it eventually did not materialize.

He also mentioned that filmmakers like Trivikram Srinivas and Harish Shankar, along with Dil Raju, had been encouraging him to explore acting for years.

Now, with Yellamma, that long-standing dream is finally becoming reality.

DSP’s Role in Yellamma

The film is set in a rural backdrop with strong spiritual and divine elements. Devi Sri Prasad will reportedly be seen playing the role of a traditional dappu artist, a character rooted in village culture.

Adding to the excitement, DSP will also compose the music for Yellamma

Nilave Movie 11 Rupees Ticket Offer: Unique Promotion in Hyderabad

Nilave, a musical love story, released on February 13 targeting the Valentine’s weekend. While the film did not attract massive openings at the box office, it is reportedly performing decently among its target audience, especially youth and love-story lovers.

However, the makers have now come up with a shocking promotional strategy to increase the film’s reach.

Nilave Tickets at Just ₹11 in Hyderabad

In a surprising move, the team has announced that Nilave will be screened at just ₹11 ticket price in Hyderabad.

The special shows are being held at the iconic single-screen theatre Mallikarjun 70MM.

For this weekend (Saturday and Sunday), the film will have two shows — 11:30 AM and 6:30 PM — priced at only ₹11 for all classes.

Bookings have already opened, and reports suggest that tickets are selling fast.

A Smart Promotional Move?

In recent times, ticket pricing has been a major discussion point in the industry. By reducing the ticket price drastically, the Nilave team is clearly trying to attract more footfalls and generate fresh word-of-mouth.

Since the content is reportedly working for a specific section of audiences, the makers are hoping that these special shows will help the film reach a larger crowd.

If the response from these ₹11 shows turns positive, it could boost the overall performance of the movie in the coming days.

Will This Strategy Work?

Promotional strategies like this are rare, especially in Hyderabad. Offering tickets at ₹11 is a bold move and is already creating buzz on social media.

Now the big question is : will this shocking promotional campaign help Nilave gain stronger box office momentum?

The coming weekend numbers will give a clear answer.

Big Trouble for Ustaad Bhagat Singh? Toxic and Dhurandhar 2 Impact Release Plans

0

Ustaad Bhagat Singh Release Date: Can Pawan Kalyan’s Film Get Enough Screens?

Ustaad Bhagat Singh is the first Tier-1 biggie of the year in Telugu cinema and is officially slated for a grand release on March 26. The makers are gearing up for aggressive promotions, with the second single “Aura of Ustaad” set to release this Sunday.

Starring Pawan Kalyan and directed by Harish Shankar, the film carries strong expectations. The duo previously delivered the industry blockbuster Gabbar Singh, and fans are hoping for another massive commercial entertainer.

However, despite the hype, there is one major concern surrounding the Ustaad Bhagat Singh release date – screen count.

Toxic and Dhurandhar 2 Creating Screen Pressure

Just one week before Ustaad Bhagat Singh hits theatres, two major Pan-India films are arriving.

On March 19, the sequel to Bollywood’s industry hit, Dhurandhar The Revenge, is releasing in multiple languages including Telugu. The film is expected to demand a significant number of screens across major territories.

On the same day, Toxic, starring Yash, is also releasing. With a reported ₹500+ crore budget and strong distribution backing from Dil Raju in Telugu states, Toxic is likely to occupy a large chunk of theatres.

Because both films are Pan-India releases, the impact will not be limited to Telugu states alone. Screen allocation pressure is expected in almost all major circuits.

Can Ustaad Bhagat Singh Secure a Big Opening?

Every star-driven film depends heavily on its first weekend performance. For a Pawan Kalyan film, a massive screen count is crucial to generate record openings.

But in the current scenario, replacing Toxic and Dhurandhar 2 within just one week of their release looks practically difficult.

Adding to this, on April 3, Biker starring Sharwanand is scheduled to release, and that film too is backed by Dil Raju in Telugu states. This creates another layer of distribution complexity.

Trade analysts believe that while Ustaad Bhagat Singh will certainly command strong fan-driven openings, achieving a huge theatre count similar to other major star releases may be challenging.

Sandhya Theatre Stampede Case Chargesheet Returned

0

The Nampally Court in Hyderabad has returned the chargesheet filed by the police in the Sandhya Theatre stampede case, citing procedural and technical errors. The court observed that several key pieces of evidence and official documents were not attached to the file.

Among the major issues highlighted were the lack of proper supporting documents and the failure to submit digital evidence such as hard disks, CDs, and pen drives. The court stated that returning a file with such shortcomings is a standard legal procedure followed under established judicial norms.

What Happened at Sandhya Theatre?

On December 4, 2024, a massive crowd gathered at Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad for the premiere of a popular film. During the chaos that followed, 35-year-old Revathi lost her life. Her 9-year-old son, Sreetej, suffered serious injuries and underwent treatment.

A case was registered at Chikkadapalli Police Station. The main allegations include security lapses, failure in crowd control, and poor technical management. A total of 23 people have been named in the chargesheet, including actor Allu Arjun, members of the private security team, and theatre management officials.

Chargesheet Returned Again

Police officials stated that the investigation has been completed. However, the chargesheet was returned because the errors pointed out by the court were not properly rectified. They have now claimed that all necessary evidence and documents have been attached and the chargesheet has been resubmitted.

This is the second time the same chargesheet has been returned by the court in the Sandhya Theatre stampede case. Earlier, too, it was sent back due to technical mistakes. After making the required corrections, the police have submitted it once again.

Legal experts believe that the court is likely to begin hearings soon on the revised chargesheet. During the next hearing, the court is expected to carefully examine all the submitted evidence in accordance with legal standards.
