As said above, Ram Charan’s Peddi team is working nonstop to release the film as scheduled. Both shooting and editing of the film are happening in parallel. The biggest plus point for the film is that after a success like Uppena, Buchi Babu’s image grew big, so he started the film with all preparation.

More than 50% of the movie’s work is said to be completed, and the entire shoot will be finished by this year’s end or early 2026.

Also, the makers announced that the first single of the film is arriving very soon. There is a buzz that the movie’s unit is planning to release the song for the Dasara festival.

Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra, the latest superhero film from Malayalam Cinema, has become a huge blockbuster at the box office. The film is running successfully in theaters even in the Telugu version. Dulquer Salmaan, the producer, talks about the budget of the film in the success meet.

Last night in Hyderabad, they held a success party for the superhero movie featuring Kalyani Priyadarshan. Kalyani Priyadarshan, the leading lady, showed up at the event along with director Dominic Arun, hero Naslen, and producer Dulquer Salmaan.

Dulquer talked about the movie’s budget in his speech. Everyone knows that Lokah’s team dropped about Rs. 30-40 crore on this project.

Dulquer Salmaan – Lokah is a big budget Film for us

“I know everybody thinks Lokah is a tiny budget film. But in Malayalam what we spend on Lokah is similar to King of Kotha, Kurup, etc. For us it’s a big budget; we haven’t wasted a single penny, wherever it is spent on the screen. All the profits of Lokah Part 1 & other parts, I’m going to share with all of the team. Because they are truly deserving of this. For Part 1 there are zero expectations, even for the teaser & trailer. We have more responsibility now to deliver big for other parts.”

Meanwhile, the fans are super curious about when the next chapter of the Lokah universe is dropping. But we have to wait until the director, Dominic Arun, opens up about it.

OG and Hari Hara Veera Mallu, Devara and War 2

0

The American pre-sales and the impact of Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu and OG and NTR’s Devara and War 2 have a very distinctive picture. The numbers show that the star heroes are seeing some surprising numbers within a very quick time in America.

Devara is directed by Koratala Siva, who came after a failure like Acharya. But still, it has an astonishing opening with 2.85M premieres, which is one of the biggest starts ever for Telugu cinema. But when it came to NTR’s next film, War 2, the same did not repeat.

The sequel of War sees a disastrous opening with 500K premieres in Telugu, with a 925K start for all versions. One can easily see the complete contrast opening for back-to-back films.

Pawan Kalyan and NTR – Contrast Openings in America for the last two films

Interestingly, the same happened with Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu, which was released a month before and opened with a disastrous opening in America with just around an 800K start, which is even less than Vijay Devarakonda’s Kingdom.

But now his upcoming film, OG, even with 3 weeks left for the theatrical release, crosses 1M in presales for premieres and sets an all-time record and is heading towards 3M+ premieres.

This shows how contrasting the openings are for Pawan Kalyan’s OG – Hari Hara Veera Mallu and NTR’s Devara and War 2.

Star heroes are definitely succeeding in getting big numbers whenever they are delivering what audiences are expecting from them. It’s up to directors to showcase their strengths, which is the best way to bring phenomenal numbers.

OG Impact: Tough Days Ahead for Other Releases

0

The upcoming biggie of Telugu cinema, OG, starring Pawan Kalyan, is continuously building a monumental hype among audiences and PSPK fans. The other releases from Telugu Cinema will have a tough time ahead with the impact created by OG. 

This month, multiple films are getting released in theaters. Tomorrow, Ghaati, Madharaasi, and Little Hearts are releasing, and next weekend, Mirai and Kishkindhapuri are releasing in theaters.

This weekend films saw low advance bookings despite big names. There is definitely pre-release content impact for such poor response, and one main impact for all these films is the crazy film OG arriving on 25 September.

Most audiences cannot spend the money for all the movies. When a crazy film is due for release in a few days, the impact will be very big on the films releasing prior to it. Because audiences will already decide to watch that big film and spend that amount on that. 

So, because of the crazy film OG releasing on 25th September, pulling audiences towards theaters will not be an easy task for other releases that arrive before the biggie. All the movies should open with extremely positive reviews to have decent collections.

New GST Rates Effect On Movies

0

Ever since the announcement of the New GST Tax Regime arrived, the cinephiles were curious to know how it affects the movies’ ticket rates. However, the new GST rates do not have much effect on movies/theaters.

After Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s latest news about lower GST rates, the GST Council made a big announcement on Wednesday, changing the GST categories for different goods. Starting September 22, 2025, the new rates of 5% and 18% will kick in.

Back in the day, movie tickets priced at Rs 100 or less came with a 12% GST. Now, it’s just 5% in the new and improved slab. But tickets priced over Rs 100 still have an 18% GST rate.

Because of a big 7% cut in GST for tickets under ₹100, ticket prices at single-screen theaters will drop. However, the question is most of the single screens have very few classes that have the ticket rate under Rs 100.

So, the new GST rates will not make much difference to the current movie ticket rating system in Telugu states.
