Court Universe Might Outshine HIT Universe

Nani’s latest production, Court: State Vs. A Nobody is performing superbly at the box office. The film’s success also spread to the reports about making it a franchise. It is widely known that Natural Star Nani is already heading the HIT Franchise as a producer. The audiences feel that Court Universe might outshine HIT Universe in the future.

HIT Universe started with the first part starring Vishwak Sen and directed by Saiilesh Kolanu, with Nani as the producer. The universe starts on a successful note, and then HIT 2 was made with Adivi Sesh, which also became a big hit. The next part is HIT 3, in which Nani himself is the lead, and the film will be released on May 1.

Court Universe Vs. HIT Universe: Which One Will Be Bigger?

Even after HIT 3, many films can be made in the universe. Now, Nani’s production film Court State vs. A Nobody has been released in theaters and is doing massive numbers at the box office. This court concept has a huge potential of getting converted into a universe and making court dramas with other crimes/laws like POCSO.

Commercially, the Court series has more advantages than the HIT series, as the latter is limited to only a few sections of people because of strong violence and crime elements. Whereas court series can appeal to all audiences. That is why audiences feel that Court Universe might outshine HIT Universe in the future.

Court Universe – HIT Universe: A Crossover is in the Plans

If a 2nd film comes in the same Court Universe, certainly it will have a 100 Cr potential film as the first part is already doing very good business, and after the OTT release, it will be much, much bigger, and there are even chances for pan-India wide reach.

Yesterday, during the success meet of Court, Nani and Priyadarshi raised this point and stated that their film can be made into a universe, and they also have a plan for a crossover between Court and the HIT series in the future.

Court State Vs A Nobody 2 Days Box Office Gross Collections:

Day 1: 8.1 Cr [Including Premiers]
Day 2: 7.8 Cr

The best thing about the film’s box office run is that, excluding the paid premieres, Day 2 numbers are more than Day 1, making it a sensational blockbuster. The film’s worldwide share will be close to 8 Cr for 2 days, and it has already achieved the breakeven mark. 

Court: Breakeven Achieved and Enters Double Profit Zone

Nani’s Court 2 days Worldwide box office collections are out now. The film will cross the 10 Cr share mark and 20 Cr gross worldwide today. Made with a 10 Cr budget, this courtroom drama recovers the budget with non-theatrical business itself.

Now, the 1st weekend’s theatrical share itself will be close to 12 Cr, and it will easily double this share in the full run. These box office numbers say how big the film’s profits are.

PonMan Movie Review – A Well-Made Emotional Drama

Movie: PonMan
Rating: 3/5
Cast: Basil Joseph, Lijomol Jose, Sajin Gopu, Anand Manmadhan and others
Director: Jotish Shankar
Producer: Ajith Vinayak Films
Streaming On: Jio Hotstar

Basil Joseph’s PonMan is one of the well appreciated movies from Malayalam Cinema in recent times. The film was a success at the theatrical release, and it arrived on OTT lately. Let’s find out why it has achieved good appreciation from the theatrical and OTT audiences in our review.

Story:

Ajesh, a gold dealer, loans 25 sovereigns to Bruno for his sister, Steffi’s wedding, expecting to receive all the gifts given to the bride. When the family cannot pay the money, Ajesh decides to get it by any means. The rest of the story is how he faces Steffi’s husband Mariyano, a criminal who has his reasons for stockpiling gold.

Performances:

Basil Joseph is terrific in the character of Ajesh. He shows superb command in some crucial scenes. Lijomol Jose and Sajin Gopu perform well, while Anand Manmadhan, Sandhya Rajendran, Jaya Kurup, and Deepak Parambol also make a good impact. 

Analysis:

The movie takes place in Kollam and adapts GR Indugopan’s Nalanchu Cheruppakarar. The film stands out as its underdog characters seize every opportunity to rise from hardship.

Initially, it takes a while to get going, and some sluggish segments in the latter half slow things down. But the positive points work superbly for the film. The significant confrontation between Ajesh and Mariyano demonstrates Mariyano’s shift towards immorality in pursuit of financial stability, which results in audiences rooting for Ajesh.

Moreover, a seamless transition of Steffi and Ajesh’s relationship at the climax is neatly enhanced by perfect dialogues.

Positives:

  • Performances
  • Engaging Screenplay (For Most of the Parts)
  • Some Crucial Moments

Negatives:

  • Dull Feel in the Beginning
  • Stretched Moments in the Second Half

PonMan Movie Review and Verdict:

Jothish Shankar’s PonMan is a well-made emotional drama. This film captivates with convincing performances from Basil Joseph, Lijomol, and Sajin Gopu and a neatly done screenplay except for a few flaws.

Lyca Productions to Shut Down

Lyca Productions entered Kollywood with a sensational debut blockbuster of Vijay, AR Murugadoss’s Kaththi. Over the years, the banner made many big films, but they faced failures for the most part. The latest shocking news is that Lyca Productions will shut down soon.

After a big blockbuster like Kaththi, the production house has seen many ups and downs continuously, and recently they hit rock bottom with very big losses. Lyca Productions’ recent films are Chandramukhi 2, Mission: Chapter One, Indian 2, Lal Salaam, Vettaiyan, and the latest Vidaamuyarchi. All movies have resulted in big losses for the banner.

The production house lost heavy amounts with Rajinikanth and Shankar’s films. 2.0, Darbar, Lal Salaam, Vettaiyan, and Indian 2. These films resulted in massive loss ventures for them, and their recent release, Ajith’s Vidaamuyarchi, also resulted in a massive loss of crores.

With such back-to-back big failures, Lyca Productions is said to be shutting down. Lately, the Lyca team stepped out of Mohanlal’s Emuparaan by taking the invested money, and Gokulam Movies replaced them.

Lyca has two movies in the pipeline; one is Indian 3, which has almost completed the shooting, and they need to finish the works to recover at least some percentage of money, and their second film is Vijay’s son, Jason Sanjay’s debut directorial film with Sundeep Kishan as the lead.

After completing the two movies in their hands, the production house will most likely not produce any films as per reports.

Court Day 2 Box Office: Surpasses Opening Day & Premieres in India

Backed by Natural Star Nani and starring Priyadarshi as the lead, the latest legal drama, Court, is rocking at the box office. With the power of its content and positive talk, the film is drawing audiences to the theaters. Court Day 2’s box office is excellent, as it surpasses opening day and premieres in India.

Court Continues its Rampage at the Box Office

On the opening day (including the early premieres), the court collected 5 Cr gross in India, and the overseas number was around 3 Cr, which takes the total to 8 Cr, which is a stunning start for the film.

On Day 2, along with maintaining the same momentum, it even witnessed a growth over the first day. The trade expects day 2 of the film to be much bigger than the opening day. The worldwide numbers on the second day are expected to be in a similar range as day 1.

Court: Terrific hold on Day 2 and an excellent Day 3 Guaranteed

Because overseas day 1 + premier numbers will be higher than day 2. So the film is likely to collect around 8 Cr gross on the second day as well. Court Day 2’s box office is excellent, as it surpasses opening day and premieres in India.

Tomorrow being Sunday, the film is expected to be even bigger than day 2 in India, and the advance bookings are already looking very promising. A small film with a court backdrop doing such huge numbers is definitely an unexpected feat, and the weekend number of the film will be in the range of 25 Cr gross.

Prakash Raj takes a dig at Pawan Kalyan again

The Formation Day celebration of Tollywood Actor Pawan Kalyan’s political party, Janasena, happened yesterday. The Actor participated in the event and criticized people who opposed the Hindi Imposition by backing it. He questioned why few Tamil films were being released in North Indian States if they opposed the Hindi language. These comments didn’t go well with the netizens, who slammed Pawan Kalyan for his biased stand on the same issue.

Pawan Kalyan, back in 2017, strongly opposed Hindi Imposition and came out heavily against the BJP Government, terming it “North Indian Leadership”. But he later went into alliance with the same party. Actor Prakash Raj now took a dig at Pawan Kalyan, quoting the latter’s tweet on the same Hindi Imposition topic in 2017 where he strongly opposed Hindi Imposition and also appealed to the “North Indian leadership” to respect Cultural diversity. With this tweet, Prakash Raj irked Pawan Kalyan, and this is not the first time. The Actor, in the past, countered it the same way when Pawan Kalyan made an issue on Tirumala Laddu.

Prakash Raj didn’t stop there, he posted a tweet again terming Pawan Kalyan as Bhajana Senani from being Janasenani after winning the elections. This tweet is also going viral now. Fans and the Audience are also upset with Pawan Kalyan repeatedly taking up the ideology of the BJP when he runs a party himself. The Actor has also been getting trolled nationwide since yesterday for shifting his ideologies and stands. We need to see how he responds to these trolls.
