Thaman Delivers Divine Shiva Trance for Akhanda 2

0

Thaman has always delivered powerful songs and background scores for Balakrishna’s films, and he continues the same tradition with Akhanda 2, offering audiences a divine Shiva trance through his music.

The first two singles from the album, Thaandavam and Jajikaya Jajikaya, were released earlier. However, they received mixed reactions and did not impress everyone. This led to speculation that Thaman might be disappointed with the music this time.

At the recent pre-release event, Thaman performed all the songs from the film, surprising fans with the revelation that Akhanda 2 features a total of nine songs. While the two released singles were considered weak, the remaining tracks showcased Thaman’s extraordinary work. The Hara Hara song delivers pure goosebumps, while the Shiva Shiva song takes listeners into an emotional trance. Gangadhara Shankara and Shankara Shankara Shambo are steeped in Shiva devotion and trance.

Together, these songs promise a divine musical experience in theatres, making Akhanda 2 one of Thaman’s finest works.

Fans believe the team made a mistake by not releasing the stronger songs first. Now, with the full jukebox of Akhanda 2 available, audiences can immerse themselves in the complete Shiva trance experience.

Andhra King Taluka 1st Weekend Box Office Collections

0

Andhra King Taluka, starring Ram Pothineni and Bhagyashree Borse, was released in theaters worldwide on 27th November, and it had a disappointing 1st weekend at the box office. Directed by Mahesh Babu P, the film received positive reviews but still heavily underperformed in theaters. 

The film was not sold for high rates like Ram’s previous films, like Skanda and Double Ismart. The theatrical business AKT is just around 27 Cr, including GST in Telugu States and P&P. For this, the movie has to achieve 50 Cr gross. As the movie’s songs received a good response and the positive WOM came from audiences, everyone expected that the film could easily achieve breakeven by the weekend itself.

But surprisingly, the film bookings showed very dull momentum before release, and despite getting the unanimous positive reviews, it did not see the expected jumps after opening day.

Andhra King taluka has collected just around 21 crores gross worldwide in the 1st weekend at the box office, which is not even 1/2 of the recovery for buyers. The film did not perform to expectations, even in big cities and the USA.

Now achieving breakeven is practically an impossible task for the film, as this week Akhanda 2 is releasing in theaters. Buyers hope that at least the film sees some reasonable numbers from today for a decent recovery, and if that does not happen, it will end up as a loss for buyers.

Ranveer Singh Under Fire — Will He Apologise?

0

Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh sparked a major uproar when a video surfaced of him mocking Chavundi Deva, calling the deity a ‘female ghost,’ and it rapidly went viral on social media, prompting heavy backlash from the Kannada public.

During the closing event of the International Film Festival of India held in Goa, Bollywood star Ranveer lauded Rishab Shetty for his remarkable role in Kantara.

Not long after, Ranveer Singh faced intense backlash on social media after the video dropped, in which he is seen mocking Chavundi Deva. Reports highlight that Rishab had earlier advised the Bajirao Mastani actor to refrain from impersonating the deity ahead of his on-stage debut.

Ranveer’s upcoming movie, Dhurandhar, is set to release next week. The current negative attention surrounding him could negatively impact the film. He must acknowledge his mistake and offer a clarification or apology before the controversy escalates further.

Blockbuster Weekend for Tere Ishk Mein at the Box Office

0

Tere Ishk Mein, the latest Bollywood movie starring Dhanush and Kriti Sanon and directed by Anand L. Rai, had a blockbuster weekend at the box office with super-strong collections through the first weekend. 

The film collected 16 Cr net on the opening day, followed by over 17 Cr net on Day 2 and over 18 Cr net on Day 3, taking the first weekend’s total to over 50 Cr net in India. The 1st weekend all-India gross is over 60 Cr. 

Meanwhile, overseas numbers are a bit disappointing compared to India. Bollywood has a big overseas market, and love and emotion genre films normally have to work big there, but somehow the TIM movie did not do big numbers and collected around $600K gross, taking the total worldwide gross for the weekend above 65 Cr.

Overall, Tere Ishk Mein has already had a blockbuster weekend, and the film is expected to continue with strong numbers in India on weekdays as well. There are expectations that the film can do 150 Cr gross in India alone, with a strong run at the box office.

Allu Arjun’s Big Gamble

0

Allu Arjun scored a massive blockbuster with Pushpa 2: The Rule, which has broken several records at the box office, and at this point in his career, he is playing a big gamble with his upcoming film. 

Tamil directors’ combinations with Telugu stars have not worked at the box office in the past few years, as somehow Tamil directors do not understand the Telugu audience’s taste or the strengths of our heroes.

Tamil Director – Telugu Hero: An Unsuccessful Combo in recent years

Pawan Kalyan’s recent film Bro and previous movies like Puli and Panjaa were directed by Tamil directors. Also, Ram Charan’s last release, Game Changer; Naga Chaitanya’s Custody; Mahesh Babu’s Spyder; Ram’s Warrior; and many films like this have seen disastrous results.

Allu Arjun achieved the peak of his career with Pushpa 2, emerging as one of the biggest Indian stars, and collaborated with Tamil Director Atlee for a very big-budget project. The movie is currently in the filming stage.

The recent buzz in the industry suggests that after Atlee’s movie, Allu Arjun is likely to collaborate with another Tamil director, Lokesh Kanagaraj, which is certainly a big gamble for him. 

It is being said that the film will be produced by Mythri Movie Makers. Lokesh Kanagaraj has seen a lot of criticism recently with Leo and Coolie, and fans are surprised that the Pushpa actor believes in the director even in this situation.

Businessman Re-Release Rocks Box Office Again

0

Businessman, on its 1st re-release, which happened on Mahesh Babu’s birthday, created a super sensation by collecting over 5 crores at the box office. It created an all-time record for re-released movies’ opening, and even now, it is dominating the box office.

When it comes to re-release records, Mahesh Babu is the No. 1 hero undoubtedly, with multiple re-releases of the actor seeing huge numbers.

The surprising part is that Businessman was again re-released yesterday, without any occasion, but still it creates a sensation as it collects 1 Cr in gross at the box office. The film shocked everyone, and as said above, these numbers prove Mahesh Babu’s stamina once again.

This again proves that Mahesh’s filmography has more weight among audiences, and that is why his re-releases always work at the box office.
