Akhanda 2 Censor Report Out: Makers Planning Early Premieres

The much-awaited sequel, Akhanda 2, clears the censor formalities with U/A and a runtime of around 165 minutes, and the censor report is reportedly very positive, with the interval episode and the second half, featuring heavy action sequences and divine elements, receiving particularly strong feedback.

The filmmakers are highly confident in the film’s content and potential success, which is why they are organizing paid premieres across India on December 4th at 9 PM. This is a smart move, as Indian audiences are considered a stronger market for the film compared to overseas audiences.

If the paid premieres in India provide positive word of mouth, then the openings will be grand with the help of domestic audiences.

The filmmakers stated they will not implement a 1000 INR price hike like other films for premieres and have clearly indicated they will use reasonable price hikes for both premieres and regular screenings.

So, a strong inside report about the content, and the censor report is also positive for Akhanda 2. Now it only needs proper word of mouth from Indian audiences; it will certainly shake the box office.

Andhra King Taluka Shock Drop on Day 2

Andhra King Taluka, the latest film of Ram Pothineni, did not have a good opening at the box office in India due to its genre and Thursday release. But as the film received positive reviews, everyone expected it to show a jump on day 2, but shockingly, day 2 saw a slight drop from day 1. 

In Telugu states, the film just opened with 4 Cr gross, while overseas was good. Overall, Andhra King Taluka’s worldwide opening day gross was just above 7 Cr. As the movie is carrying positive WOM, it was expected to get more numbers today, and the makers also expected the same.

But surprisingly, the film did not see a jump on day 2, and it even dropped slightly from day 1, which is definitely not good for the movie. However, the good sign is that the second show received strong occupancies. The film definitely needs to collect much more than the day 1 numbers tomorrow, and day 4 has to be the biggest day for the AKT to score a good weekend.

The film needs to collect 50 Cr gross worldwide to break even, and the first weekend should aim for at least 35 Cr, as Akhanda 2 is releasing the following weekend, making it difficult to achieve significant numbers in the second weekend.

Boyapati Srinu Drops a Mega Bombshell

Until today, there were some doubts about Akhanda 2, despite the successful combination of Balayya and Boyapati. But now, Boyapati Srinu delivers a mega bombshell with the latest teaser of the film. 

Boyapati Srinu and Balakrishna are undoubtedly the biggest combination for the masses, having delivered three sensational blockbusters: Simha, Legend, and Akhanda. They are now preparing a much bigger film, the sequel to Akhanda, which is set for release on December 5th.

There were some doubts about this film due to the two songs released, and the trailer received a mixed response as well. But today in a pre-release event, Boyapati Srinu drops a mega bombshell with the massive teaser and clears all doubts. The 1-minute teaser is full of goosebump moments, and it is itself worth a ticket. 

Akhanda 2: Massive Thandam Teaser

Balakrishna is full of fire with his flow, and Boyapati presents terrific shots along with Thaman’s banger background score, which gives a superb impact. 

This is the best content released for Akhanda 2, and the team promises the biggest mass experience of the year. The 15-second footage in the middle of the teaser, featuring a Lord Shiva shot with Akhanda, truly captures the impact of Thaandavam.

This teaser will increase the buzz in a big way, and the film will be released in theaters on 5th December. Let us wish that the Akhanda trance will be much bigger this time.

Revolver Rita Crashes: Keerthy Suresh Faces a Huge Setback

Keerthy Suresh, who last appeared in Uppu Kappurambu, a direct OTT-released movie, came up with her latest theatrical release, Revolver Rita. Unfortunately, the film crashed on the first day itself, giving a huge setback to the actress.

The actress did not have any theatrical releases this year, and Keerthy Suresh’s only film in 2025 is Revolver Rita, which was released today with a female-centric conflict. Keerthy Suresh promoted the film in a big way as well.

However, the film failed to generate any buzz and received overwhelmingly negative reviews and word-of-mouth, resulting in a crash on opening day. Last year, Keerthy Suresh also experienced box office failures with Siren and Baby John.

Made as a crime comedy, the film is directed by JK Chandru, and it stars Keerthy Suresh, Radikaa Sarathkumar, Sunil, and Super Subbarayan.

Jailer 2: Vijay Sethupathi Takes Over Balakrishna’s Role

There has been a lot of buzz and speculation about Balakrishna’s cameo in Rajinikanth and Nelson’s upcoming sequel Jailer 2. However, the latest update confirms that Vijay Sethupathi will step into the role that was initially planned for Balakrishna.

During the making of the first Jailer, Nelson had considered casting Balakrishna in a cameo, but later dropped the idea as the character did not fit well. When Jailer 2 was announced, fans strongly believed Balakrishna would finally be part of the film. Reports suggest that Nelson and his team did approach him, and several discussions took place, but the actor was not convinced to join.

The makers then reached out to other big stars, and eventually finalized Vijay Sethupathi for Balakrishna’s role. He will be seen as a powerful police officer, marking his second collaboration with Rajinikanth after Petta. Sources indicate that shooting for Sethupathi’s portions is currently happening in Goa.

Meanwhile, the teaser of Jailer 2 is scheduled to release on Rajinikanth’s birthday, December 12th. With massive anticipation surrounding the film, the teaser is expected to make a strong impact and set the tone for one of the most awaited sequels in Indian cinema.

Andhra King Taluka: USA Priority Misfires

Andhra King Taluka, the latest film from Ram Pothineni, has received positive reviews from audiences and critics, but the film’s box office performance has been affected by the makers’ choice of prioritizing the USA, which has misfired. 

For its genre and that too in November, releasing the film on Thursday was a big mistake by the team, which resulted in a below-par start for the film in domestic areas. As said above, Andhra King Taluka did receive positive WOM and ratings, but it collected only 4 Cr gross in Telugu states due to a Thursday release.

During a recent press meet, Mythri Ravi, one of the producers of the film, said that they had to release the film on Thursday due to the USA Thanksgiving Day weekend, which affected domestic collections.

At the same time, Ram and Bhagyasri going on USA tour promotions this week worked in favor of the USA market, but the domestic performance was affected, and it was accepted by the producers as well.

As the hero and heroine did not participate in the promotions during the crucial time of the release, the film’s numbers in Telugu states did not come as expected.

The team is expecting that the film will take a jump from this evening, and it must take a jump for success. The WOM is unanimously positive, which is definitely expected to bring a good number of audiences to the theaters.

Akhanda 2 Reports: Explosive Interval, Non-Stop Action in 2nd Half

Akhanda 2 is the last biggie of Tollywood this year, set to be released on Friday, 5th December. with paid premieres being planned on the night of December 4th. Today the film’s pre-release event is happening at Khaithlapur Ground in Kukatpally.

The film’s music director, Thaman, will perform live at the event, and an action trailer will be released along with the total album of the film, helping it to gain big momentum afterward.

Akhanda 2 Inside Info: Boyapati designs his career best interval episode for Balakrishna

Coming to the inside reports, the movie’s interval episode is said to have come out very well. The setup and action design will reportedly deliver goosebump moments. Boyapati Srinu and Balakrishna’s combination has always produced superb interval sequences, and they are the highlight episodes of the respective films.

So, the sequel to Akhanda is also said to have a massive interval episode that is said to be the major highlight of the film. 

Also, the word is that the film will go into a nonstop action mode in the 2nd half with perfectly designed fights. Most of the runtime in the 2nd half is said to be occupied with them.

Boyapati is known for crafting strong lead scenes before major action sequences in Balakrishna’s films. If Akhanda 2 follows this successful formula, it will likely meet expectations and could be a major hit this year.

If the emotional and dramatic elements connect with the audience, along with the thrilling action sequences, the film’s box office performance could be unprecedented. This is the fourth film from the Balakrishna and Boyapati Srinu collaboration, following the successful “Simha,” “Legend,” and “Akhanda.”

Until now, their combination never went wrong, and this is the biggest film of the actor and director, which makes the expectations even higher.

Tere Ishk Mein: Rahman’s Music Gets Mixed Verdict

Dhanush and Kriti Sanon’s Tere Ishk Mein, directed by Anand L Rai has been released in theaters today, and received mostly positive reviews but with a twist: The music of AR Rahman in the film gets a mixed response.

A.R. Rahman is renowned as one of the greatest music directors in Indian cinema, having created numerous memorable albums. However, for the past decade or so, some audiences feel he hasn’t produced work as strong as he did in the 90s and 2000s.

Often called the “Mozart of Madras,” the musician crafted a chart-topping hit for Ram Charan’s “Peddi,” which has since gone viral on social media. In contrast, AR Rahman’s music for Dhanush’s “Tere Ishk Mein” has garnered a mixed reaction, with some praising the songs while others dislike them.

Regarding the film’s box office performance, Dhanush is poised to achieve a double-digit opening with Tere Ishk Mein, solidifying his pan-India stardom. He has already scored double-digit gross on the first day for Kubera in Telugu and Idli Kadai in Tamil.

Ram All Set to Enter the Million-Dollar Club in America

Ram’s Andhra King Taluka was released yesterday in theaters, and the film’s biggest territory in terms of box office numbers and opening is America, and the actor is all set to enter the million-dollar club with this film.

The film, even though it takes an average start in India, opens with record-breaking numbers for Ram in America. The film opened with a $275K+ start in North America, and the trend suggests a very big weekend. 

Ram, who is yet to score a million-dollar film in America, is all set to enter the club with Andhra King Taluka. The movie needs to do 500K+ in the next 3 days (Friday – Sunday) to chase one million.

Ram and Bhagyashree Borse did a USA tour and visited the theaters and attended a premiere show, which helped the film’s buzz, and the film needs a jump from today evening’s shows in India as well.

LCU in BIG Trouble? Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Moves Shock Fans

Somehow, director Lokesh Kanagaraj is killing the anticipation of the LCU (Lokesh Cinematic Universe) with his plans after Coolie’s release and result. His approach for his next films is disappointing fans.

Lokesh kicked off his cinematic universe with Kaithi in 2019. With the revelation of its connection to Vikram and the concept of a shared universe, fans couldn’t wait for Kaithi 2 to hit the screens.

Instead, Lokesh Kanagaraj created Leo and awkwardly tied it to the LCU, which fell flat. Following his work on Coolie, reports suggest he is gearing up for a movie alongside Allu Arjun.

Simultaneously, the film Benz, featuring Lawrence, which Lokesh did not direct, is being marketed as a component of the Lokesh Cinematic Universe. However, audiences seem to lack significant interest in it at the moment. If Benz works, it’s fine, but if it doesn’t, it will be a big risk for the LCU itself.

After Vikram was released, people eagerly expected Kaithi 2, Rolex, and Vikram 2 to be released back-to-back, but Lokesh Kanagaraj continuously delayed these projects, which is killing the anticipation regarding LCU among audiences. 

Delaying these films poses major risks for Lokesh Kanagaraj, and the final result remains to be seen.
