The Raja Saab Hindi Version Sees Very Poor Advance Bookings

0

With Prabhas in the lead, The Raja Saab was expected to open with strong numbers in North India. However, the film is witnessing very poor advance bookings for its Hindi version.

The Hindi advances are extremely low, with only ₹53 lakh gross collected from nearly 3,000 shows across India for tomorrow. At present, the advance booking trend for the Hindi version is disappointing, and the film is heading towards an opening numbers around just ₹3–4 crore nett. This is likely to be the lowest opening for a Prabhas film in the Hindi market after Baahubali.

The Raja Saab Looking at Weak Openings in North India

The film now heavily depends on unanimous positive word of mouth and blockbuster reviews from North Indian audiences to pull crowds into theatres. Movies like Saaho and Adipurush managed strong Hindi box office numbers despite mixed or below-average word of mouth, mainly due to the massive pre-release buzz. Unfortunately, The Raja Saab is struggling to attract audiences even with above-average talk.

To achieve respectable box office numbers in the Hindi belt, the film must receive blockbuster-level reviews from Hindi audiences.

Actor Naveen Polishetty, who earned a unique identity with his natural acting and perfect comic timing in films like Jathi Ratnalu and Agent Athreya, is once again ready to entertain audiences with laughter through his latest film “Anaganaga Oka Raju,” and the trailer of the film was released a short while ago.

Naveen Polishetty poised to achieve a Blockbuster with “Anaganaga Oka Raju.”

The trailer of Anaganaga Oka Raju, with Naveen Polishetty in the title role, is packed with non-stop punch dialogues and strong comedy elements. Meenakshi Chaudhary’s character also appears highly entertaining, and the combined comedy scenes between the lead pair seem to work very well. Nagarjuna’s voice-over adds another major highlight to the trailer.

Dialogues like “White House Inka White Gaane Undha” and “Prasanthanga Unna Naa Lanti Vadini Prashanth Neel Laa Maarcharu Kadara” clearly indicate that the film will be a complete laugh riot. Truly, the team has a blockbuster in their hands.

Presented by Srikara Studios, the film is produced by leading production house Sithara Entertainments, with Fortune Four Cinemas serving as the co-producer. The music is composed by Mickey J. Meyer, while the film is directed by Mari. This full-fledged comedy entertainer is set to release as a Sankranthi special on January 14, and the makers have officially announced a grand worldwide release.

No Big Success for Andhra King Taluka on OTT

0

After a long time, Ram’s film Andhra King Taluka, which released at the end of November, opened with unanimously positive word of mouth and reviews, but this positive response did not reflect at the box office, and the film ended up as a commercial failure. Despite this, there were strong expectations that the movie would perform well on OTT platforms.

The film started streaming on Netflix from December 25 in all languages. From December 25 to January 4, over a period of 11 days, the movie recorded around 2.6 million views, which indicates decent viewership.

But even on OTT, Ram’s Andhra King Taluka did not receive a very strong response from audiences, and though it had decent views, the result is no different from the theatrical failure.

Many viewers felt that they could not connect deeply with the emotions of the film. Additionally, the storyline involving a hero’s hardcore fan giving ₹3 crore to a superstar did not work well for many viewers, which affected the overall impact of the movie.

Toxic Teaser: Hollywood Style Attempt, Big Gamble

0

Yash has announced his next film, Toxic, as a global project, with plans to release an English version in theatres alongside the Indian versions. The character posters released in recent weeks created strong excitement among fans, and now the makers have unveiled the first glimpse of the film.

On the occasion of Yash’s birthday, the team released a video glimpse introducing his character, Raya. The teaser has a clear Hollywood-style feel, both visually and musically. It begins in a cemetery, where a group of gangsters are performing funeral rites. There is an element of suspense about whether the protagonist has arrived at the location.

Can Toxic Surprise Audiences?

Just as the stage is set for action, the hero appears in a car but does not step out. Instead, he shares an intimate moment with a woman while the gang outside fires bullets at the vehicle. Moments later, a series of explosions follow, and the hero finally enters the scene, ending the teaser with the powerful line, “Daddy’s home.”

Yash’s Toxic Teaser

After watching the Toxic teaser, it is clear that the makers are aiming to create a global film with a strong Hollywood-style presentation. This approach is certainly a big risk, as it is not guaranteed to connect with Indian audiences. At the same time, it remains to be seen whether international viewers will embrace it.

The team is hoping that both Indian and global audiences will respond positively, but the project is undoubtedly a high-risk venture. Hopefully, this bold attempt will pay off in a big way.

In addition to playing the lead role, Yash has also co-written the script along with Geetu Mohandas. The film features Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Rukmini Vasanth, Huma Qureshi, and Tara Sutaria in key roles. Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups is jointly produced by KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations, with music composed by Ravi Basrur.

The Raja Saab Set for Massive 30 Cr Overseas Opening

0

After an underwhelming trend for a few days, The Raja Saab sees an excellent jump overseas, and it is set for a massive opening at the box office. Jana Nayagan’s postponement became an extra advantage for the film, as it got more shows added than before.

There were doubts about whether The Raja Saab could hit a million-dollar premiere in America or not, but the film has crossed the million-dollar mark with just pre-sales. Total overseas opening day sales are at $1.75M now.

Overall, The Raja Saab is set to clock $2 million in pre-sales before the shows start overseas on opening day and is gearing up for a massive $3.25M+ opening at the box office, with a ₹30 crore gross number guaranteed.

The positive intent in bookings makes the trade expect the film to do very well if the word of mouth is positive, and it needs to collect around 100 Cr gross overseas for super hit status.

Actor Vijay’s much-awaited film Jana Nayagan may not release on January 9, 2026, as originally planned, and according to the latest buzz, the film’s new release date is likely to be January 14. Unexpected issues with the censor board have affected the film at the last minute.

Reports suggest that the Madras High Court has postponed its decision on the case filed by KVN Productions LLP against the CBFC for not issuing the censor certificate. The judge reportedly stated that the order is expected to be announced on January 9.

If the verdict is delivered on the same day, it would be difficult for the makers to manage a smooth release, as both domestic and overseas screenings could be affected. It is being said that the makers have already informed distributors about the postponement and are now planning to release Jana Nayagan on a new date, January 14.

Naturally, fans are deeply disappointed by this development, as they were hoping to celebrate Thalapathy Vijay’s final film on the big screen with great excitement.
