Manchu Vishnu warns trolls amidst the release of the Kannappa movie. 24 Frames Factory, the studio behind the film, announced in a public notice that their film is set to hit theaters on June 27, and it is a result of a legal and creative effort.

The team said that the movie has been made to entertain or engage the public at large, and the makers requested all critics “to watch the film first, appreciate its substance, understand the intent, and comment on it with responsibility, rather than succumbing to premeditated biases or vendetta-fueled commentary.”

Sekhar Kammula’s Kuberaa had a superb first weekend at the box office, and it also holds well on weekdays. Starring Dhanush and Nagarjuna, the film was also expected to do well in Hindi. However, Hindi audiences reject Kuberaa.

Before release, everyone expected the film to reach all pan-Indian audiences due to the combination of Dhanush, Nagarjuna, and Rashmika in Kammula’s direction with DSP music.

Kuberaa Box Office: Shocking Performance in Tamil – Gets Rejected in Hindi

But after release, everything changed. The movie opened with positive reports in Telugu, and it exceeded expectations and is heading towards the 100 Cr mark. Whereas it shocked everyone with a low performance in Tamil Nadu.

Coming to Hindi, the film has been completely rejected, as it just collected around 1.25 Cr net in 5 days, which says how low it is.

Hindi audiences reject Sekhar Kammula’s Kuberaa. Also, Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par was released on the same day, which is the main reason audiences were not interested in this film.

0

Gopichand Malineni’s Hindi debut film, Jaat, starring Sunny Deol, received positive reviews upon its theatrical release, but box office-wise, it did average numbers. Now, Jaat has become a sensation on Netflix.

The movie received a very good response after its arrival on Netflix. According to the stats, from the streaming day to date, the movie is trending in the top position on Netflix in many countries.

The film is also listed in Netflix’s Top 10 Global Films among the non-English movies category for all three weeks.

Netflix Views for Jaat

1st week—4.1 M
2nd Week – 3.8 M

Kingdom Forced to Clash with Hari Hara Veera Mallu

0

Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu makers announced the release date of 24 July 2025. Normally, no one wants to clash with such a big movie. However, it looks like Vijay Deverakonda’s Kingdom is forced to clash with Hari Hara Veera Mallu.

Reportedly, Netflix, the OTT platform, has forced the makers of Kingdom to arrive on July 25th. Even though producers do not want the clash, due to the terms and financials involved, the film is said to have locked in the 25th of July release date.

Kingdom is all set to clash with Hari Hara Veera Mallu?

One cannot put the blame on Producer Naga Vamsi. Because if they compromise on some financial deals or terms to avoid a clash and change the date, one cannot be sure that HHVM will arrive on 24th July.

Everyone knows that AM Ratnam has to handle many financial hurdles to make sure that his film releases on time.

Looking at all these reasons, Vijay Deverakonda’s Kingdom is forced to clash with Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu.

The makers are said to be planning to announce 25th July as their release date very soon.

Nithiin Movies: Mismatch Between Budget and Business

0

Actor Nithiin sees continuous failures at the box office, but despite those failures, his movies are being made on huge budgets. Because of this, Nithiin’s movies have a mismatch between budget and business. 

His recent release, Robinhood, was made on a 70 Cr budget, but its worldwide theatrical business was done in a 25 Cr ratio. On top of it, the movie miserably failed at the box office and ended up with a single-digit share.

Now the same is the case with his upcoming film, Thammudu. The producer officially reveals the movie was made on a budget of 75 Cr, and they spent 35 Cr just for making it. 

But if we look at the business ratio, it is the same as Robinhood: 25 Cr. That is why Nithiin’s movies have a mismatch between budget and business. 

The budgets of the actor’s films are getting increased, but the business at the box office is not getting increased. 

Before, makers were able to recover with good non-theatrical deals, but the digital market has declined, and that affects movies. Which is why the theatrical performance is very key for any movie.

Thammudu needs to perform more than its pre-business and give overflows for Dil Raju to be in a safe position.

Meanwhile, Nithiin’s next film is also with Dil Raju, Yellamma, which is likely to be made on a moderate budget.

Devi Sri Prasad Shuts Down Haters with Kuberaa

0

The popular musician, called Rockstar by fans, Devi Sri Prasad has been in movies for over two decades. For a few years, his image got a bit down for some reasons. Devi Sri Prasad shuts down haters with Kuberaa.

Even though DSP gave very good albums with consistency, he was targeted by a section of media and audiences. If we see his recent works like Pushpa 2 and Thandel, the songs were good hits.

However, the music director did not receive any credit for the films’ success, and somehow a negative buzz was created about him. An image was created for DSP that he is not delivering well for movies.

One of the big reasons for such a situation is multiple music directors getting on board for Pushpa’s background score/RR. The issue escalated further after this. 

However, Devi Sri Prasad shuts down haters with Kuberaa, as his songs and BGM are being credited as one of the biggest assets for the film’s success. Songs like Poyi Raa Mama, Naadi Naadi, and Naa Koduka worked superbly for the film.

The best thing regarding these songs is they rightly blend into the script and make the impact stronger. 

The same can be said regarding the BGM, as the RR of DSP for the film is terrific. Every audience awaits the Kuberaa OST release. 

Certainly, DSP’s rough patch has ended, and he starts the golden phase again with Sekhar Kammula’s Kuberaa.

Rajinikanth’s Coolie is carrying a tremendous buzz in all areas. Irrespective of language, Coolie’s stakes are sky-high, and it needs to collect near Jailer’s closing numbers to break even.

Rajinikanth’s Coolie Does Massive Business – Needs Jailer’s Numbers to Break Even

Coming to the Telugu states, Jailer collected more than 85 Cr gross in its full run, and Coolie has to gather numbers in that range for breakeven. Even in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Kerala, everywhere is the same as this. 

Raiinikanth’s Coolie’s stakes are sky-high, and it needs to collect near Jailer’s closing numbers to break even, and even in North India the film’s breakeven will be even more than Jailer’s closing.

Directed by Nelson, Jailer collected 625 Cr gross worldwide in its full run, and that will be the breakeven target for Lokesh’s Coolie.

Kuberaa Vs Kannappa: Theatres Issue heats up in Nizam

So, the makers want to retain a good number of screens for the 2nd weekend too. However, on the other hand, Kannappa is releasing this Friday, and the producers say that this is a very big-budget film with a huge star cast, so it needs to get a huge number of screens.

With this conflict, a theater war has started between Sekhar Kammula’s Kuberaa and Manchu Vishnu’s Kannappa.

Coolie, the action drama starring superstar Rajinikanth and directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, has created a superb buzz among audiences. The trade eagerly awaits the film’s release. Coolie’s Telugu rights have been sold for a record price.

Right from the start, there was good competition from top producers of Telugu cinema for the film’s Telugu states’ rights, and many were in a race despite its competition with NTR and Hrithik’s War 2.

Due to the actor-director combination, Anirudh’s music, and a huge star cast, Rajinikanth’s Coolie’s Telugu rights have been sold for a record price.

Finally, the movie’s theatrical rights are sold for 50 Cr to Asian Suresh Entertainments. This is the 2nd biggest price for a Kollywood film after 2 Point O.

So, to achieve breakeven itself, Coolie has to collect as much as Jailer’s full run in Telugu states. The film must emerge as a 100 Cr grosser in the Telugu states.
