Article 370 starring Yami Gautam and Priyamani became a sleeper hit. The Bollywood film went on to gross 110 crores worldwide and became a surprising hit for Yami Gautam. The film attracted much controversy for its backdrop of removal of Article 370. Some even accused the film of distorting facts and alleged it was a propaganda film as well. Now, Article 370 is streaming on OTT Giant, Netflix.

Many Audiences from the South have also been waiting to watch the film after its OTT release. But they might get disappointed as the film will stream only in Hindi language and the dubbing version may stream afterwards. The film was directed by Aditya Suhas Jambhale and explores the political scenario and the impact of the removal of Article 370 on the region of people of Kashmir.

Films like these have both received appreciation and criticism from the Hindi Audiences. The Kashmir Files and Kerala Story too had the same reception. Many were in support and against it as well. And all films with propaganda might not do well. The recently released film, Razakar is an example of this. The film became a box office bomb achieving negative reviews and word of mouth as well.

We have seen two films colliding at the box office. But now, two prestigious re-releases are set for an interesting clash for the box office record. Mahesh Babu’s Businessman directed by Puri Jagannath was the biggest opener in terms of re-releases in Tollywood. It opened with a massive 5.2 crore+ worldwide. No other re-released film came close to this record afterwards. Vijay’s Ghilli is all set to challenge Mahesh Babu’s Businessman.

Ghilli starring Vijay is an official remake of the Telugu Blockbuster, Okkadu starring Mahesh Babu. Ghilli was Vijay’s biggest grosser then and is still loved by his fans. It is now re-releasing on 20th Friday and the bookings have already been on a sensational note. These bookings indicate that the film’s re-release will create a new benchmark in re-release openings.

So, it’s interesting to see a remake of Mahesh Babu challenging his direct film. On the work front, Vijay is currently working for The Greatest Of All Time directed by Venkat Prabhu scheduled to release on September 5th this year.

Yuvan Shankar Raja allegedly harassed by Vijay Fans

0

Tamil Music Director Yuvan Shankar Raja composed the tunes for the upcoming film of Vijay, The Greatest of All Time. The film’s first lyrical song, Whistle Podu released recently and it received very normal reviews. Fans were completely disappointed with the tune and composition of the song. They started trolling the music director, Yuvan Shankar Raja, and targeted him with negative comments.

This didn’t go well with Yuvan Shankar Raja and his fans as well. He deactivated his Instagram account following this attack from fans. He didn’t respond to anything about the incident but just kept silent. Fans expected songs like Vijay’s previous hits, Naa Ready and Arabic Kuthu. But the released song, Whistle Podu didn’t match this level which made them angry.

But fans need to understand that all music directors are not the same and they have their own composition way. Harassing them will damage the lead actor’s reputation. And they also need to wait for the whole album to come out. Other songs may dominate and change their opinion. The Greatest of All Time is directed by Venkat Prabhu and will be released this September 5th. The film will have Vijay playing dual roles co-starring Meenakshi Chaudhary.

Poor advances for Happy days Re-release

0

Happy Days re-release has not exactly managed to create the ripples the team expected. The advance booking has been quite dull and it looks like this re-release has got no takers. Happy Days is considered one of the best youthful entertainers in Tollywood and is all set to release tomorrow in theatres.

Normally this film’s re-release should have worked well with the youth but shockingly there are very poor advance bookings for the film in Hyderabad itself. In other territories, it is expected to fare much worse. Re-releasing films during the election period when people are not showing much interest in movies is impacting the film badly.

Happy Days featured Varun Sandesh, Tamannah, Nikhil, Rahul Haridas, and Sonia in key roles. Sekhar Kammula’s film follows the life of eight friends who enroll in CBIT and how their life unfolds over the next four years. The film’s music was composed by Mickey J Meyer and it was one of the big reasons for the film’s success.
