0

After a record-breaking opening day and weekend at the box office, Rajinikanth’s Coolie sees a big drop on weekdays, which was expected for the WOM and reviews it received. The film enters the Kollywood Top-5 movies at the box office.

On a positive note, the Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial sees some good momentum today, as it surpasses the 450 Cr mark and also crosses Vijay’s GOAT movie’s closing collections (455 Cr) with today’s collections.

Coolie Joins the Top-5 Grossers of Kollywood

Rajinikanth’s Coolie enters the all-time top 5 movies at the Kollywood box office. Now, the all-time highest grossers of Tamil cinema are 2 Point O, Jailer, Leo, Ponniyin Selvan 1, and Coolie. 

Coming to this position with an unfavorable WOM is a big achievement, and that too, Superstar Rajinikanth maintaining 3 films in the Top-5 grossers of Kollywood at the age of 75 is nothing less than a sensational achievement.

Raviteja’s Mass Jathara was announced for 27th August, but it has been postponed from the said date. There were a few other dates in discussion, but the latest reports suggest that Raviteja is clashing with the Baahubali re-release.

The latest buzz is that Mass Jathara is arriving on 31st October, and on the same date, the Baahubali re-release has been announced.

Raviteja’s Mass Jathara to clash with Baahubali Re-Release

The re-release of Baahubali:The Epic is not a normal rerelease, and its craze will impact the new releases, as Rajamouli and team have combined two parts into one-part film, and they are also said to have added a few deleted scenes as well.

Moreover, the team will do aggressive promotions for this epic movie like a new release. So, Raviteja’s Mass Jathara will definitely see an impact if it clashes with Baahubali: The Epic at the box office.

0

Vijay Sethupathi and Nithya Menen’s Thalaivan Thalaivii was released in theaters in July and emerged as a huge blockbuster at the box office with more than 80 Cr gross. However, after its OTT release, the film is getting negative reactions, unlike the theatrical release.

Directed by Pandiraj, this rural comedy drama collected close to 60 Cr gross in Tamil Nadu, and it gathered bigger revenue than Maharaja. The film was also released in Telugu as Sir Madam, but it did not work well. 

Huge Baclash For Thalaivan Thalaivii After Its OTT Release

After doing huge business at the box office, the film arrived on Prime Video lately. Surprisingly, Vijay Sethupathi and Nithya Menen’s Thalaivan Thalaivii’s OTT release opened to a negative response in reverse to its theatrical performance.

A huge number of people who have watched the film on OTT are shocked at how it worked in theaters. Not only Telugu audiences, but even Tamil audiences who have watched the film on OTT did not like the film and were shocked with the theatrical numbers of the film.

0

Teja Sajja’s superhero film, Mirai, was announced to be released on 5th September. However, the latest developments have delayed the film’s release, and Teja Sajja’s Mirai may clash with Pawan Kalyan’s OG.

Reportedly, the makers are planning to postpone the film by 2 weeks, which means the 19th of September date is under consideration. The delay in VFX/works is said to be the reason.

Teja Sajja’s Mirai to clash with Pawan Kalyan’s OG?

If Teja Sajja’s Mirai arrives on 19th September, then it will be a risky date, as within one week Pawan Kalyan’s crazy project OG is getting released. Also, in another week, the Pan-India release of Kantara Chapter One is set to be released.

Directed by Karthik Gattamaneni, Mirai carries some buzz, but if it falls in such a huge competition, then it might impact the film’s box office prospects massively. 

Another date is also said to be in consideration for this superhero film, which is 12th September. Definitely 12th September would be a better date for the film, as it gets a solo release and a 2-week theatrical gap with “They Call Him OG.”

Ravi Teja’s Mass Jathara is facing unexpected hurdles to arrive in theaters. The film has already been delayed, and again it is facing a postponement. Mass Jathara has been pushed too far now.

This mass/commercial entertainer was initially planned as a Sankranti release, and later it was moved to summer. From there, it was postponed to an August-end release, and now the news is that Ravi Teja’s Mass Jathara has been pushed too far.

Mahavatar Narsimha is one of the rare films in recent times that is having an incredible run at the box office even on its 5th weekend. The devotional/animated movie has received immense love from audiences. Mahavatar Narsimha wins the box office battle against Coolie and War 2.

Till yesterday, Coolie has collected around 445 Cr gross worldwide, while War 2 collected around 305 Cr gross worldwide. But the small-budget animated film Mahavatar Narsimha collected around 280 Cr gross worldwide, and it is racing towards the 300 Cr mark.

Mirai and Mass Jathara: The Release Date Confusion

Yet, the teams remain silent. As of now, multiple dates are being circulated in the industry for both films, but the teams still maintain the silence.

While Ravi Teja’s Mass Jathara is a commercial entertainer, Teja Sajja’s Mirai is a fantasy/superhero movie. The latter has a better craze among audiences, and it is expected to do well at the box office.
