0

Chiranjeevi and Anil Ravipudi’s Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu is all set to be released in theaters worldwide on 12th January, and it adopts the strategy of Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2, i.e., to screen paid premieres before the release day.

Nowadays, all tier-1 biggies are going with paid premieres with big ticket prices from 800 to 1000. Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2 is the 1st senior hero film to adopt premieres, and Chiranjeevi’s Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu will also adopt the same strategy now.

The makers of the Akhanda sequel did not go with 800, and they opted for 600. Now, Mana Shanakara Vara Prasad Garu’s team is also following the same strategy of screening premieres on January 11th with a 500-ticket price.

For Akhanda 2, the response for premiere tickets was not that big, and it needs to be seen how Chiranjeevi’s film fares. Prabhas’ The Raja Saab is also being released with a ticket price of 800 rupees for premieres on January 8th, like other tier 1 biggies.

Actor Nandu starred in Psyche Siddhartha as the lead, and the film was released by veteran producer Suresh Babu. Unfortunately, the film has brought negative attention to the senior producer.

Although Suresh Babu is not producing or releasing films frequently now, he still holds a strong reputation among audiences and trade circles. Whenever he releases a film or confidently says that he has watched and liked a movie, it usually creates a positive impact in the market.

For Psyche Siddhartha, Suresh Babu acquired the release rights and mentioned that he liked the film, clarifying that it is not a family entertainer but a youth-oriented film.

However, the movie was released in theatres yesterday and opened to unanimously negative word of mouth and reviews. It is now heading towards a complete box office disaster. The film contains adult comedy and several absurd scenes, which are unusual for a Suresh Babu release. This has ended up affecting his reputation negatively.

Srikanth’s son Meka Roshan made his debut with Pelli Sandadi under Raghavendra Rao’s guidance, which was a big success. But Roshan did a big mistake by taking a long gap for his next film, Champion.

Pelli Sandadi was a blockbuster debut for the hero, Roshan, and the heroine, Sree Leela, as both received good names, and the actress is still receiving continuous offers with that craze.

His performance gets the name,, but the movie did not work at the box office, resulting in a failure. After a big success with his first film, Meka Roshan took 4 years of time and dropped Champion, but it failed at the box office.

Young heroes playing larger-than-life characters is a massive risk, and spending a lot of time on one project is more risk. Roshan attempted both risks,, and it misfired badly. He needs to learn a lesson from this and should try to do familiar and quick projects according to his age and image.

Sandeep Vanga Hangover: Advantage or Overdose

0

The first look of Spirit was released on New Year’s night and received a sensational response. However, a section of the audience feels that director Sandeep Reddy Vanga is still in hangover of his previous films.

The makers of Spirit did not announce the release date, which disappointed many fans. As mentioned earlier, while a large number of people liked the first look and are excited about the film, another group raised concerns. They feel the first look is not very refreshing and looks similar to the worlds of Arjun Reddy and Animal.

Some viewers believe that Sandeep Reddy Vanga is still stuck in the hangover of his earlier films and is repeating the same kind of character portrayals. On the other hand, many people feel this is his signature style, and audiences actually expect this kind of storytelling from him.

At this point, only the first look of Spirit has been released, and it is too early to judge the story or characters. But the first look has already sparked an online debate, with some viewers seeing the similarities as a positive trait, while others consider it a negative sign of repetition.

Premiere Battle in USA: Jana Nayagan Leads, The Raja Saab Trails

0

Two big films from South Indian cinema, Jana Nayagan and The Raja Saab, are releasing on 9th January. Jana Nayagan leads Prabhas and Maruthi’s film in the USA premieres battle set on 8th January.

If we observe the business or market, The Raja Saab has to do more than double Jana Nayagan’s numbers, but the advance sales are not going in the expected lines. Jana Nayakudu is carrying massive craze as it is the last film of Vijay, but Prabhas’s horror comedy does not carry much buzz for now.

In North America, The Raja Saab’s pre-sales are at $350K, whereas Jana Nayagan is carrying $400K in pre-sales, which means it is leading in the USA premieres battle. The shocking part is The Raja Saab’s bookings were opened in over 1000 shows, whereas Jana Nayagan’s is just between 500 shows. Still, Vijay’s film has sold more tickets, which is not a good sign for The Raja Saab.

The Raja Saab needs a big push in advances in this crucial release week, or else it will register a very average opening at the box office.
