Pushpa 2 Opened the Door, Now All Movies Looting

The Telugu movies have started a new trend of going for hiked rates for big/known movies post COVID. This strategy was applied by many big films with a little change in the rates. But Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 opened the door for massive pricing, and the looting is being continued with other biggies now.

Before the release of the most awaited Pushpa 2: The Rule, ticket hikes were common in the film industry, with the producers going for hikes of 100 Rs and 150 Rs. But the producers of the film came up with flat ticket prices.

Pushpa 2 starts the Flat Ticket Rate for premieres

Both Telugu state governments gave permission for premium ticket pricing for Pushpa 2. The premiers of the movie were screened for 1100 and 1200 ticket prices in Telangana, while the Andhra Pradesh theaters had close to 1000 ticket prices.

From then on, all the movies have started taking a flat rate for a special show. Recently, Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mall had huge ticket rates for the special premieres before the release day.

OG Andhra Pradesh: 1000 Rs Flat Ticket Rate for 1 AM Show receives negative response

Now, OG Andhra Pradesh has given a flat 1000 Rs ticket price for the 1 AM show, and the same is expected in Telangana as well.

These prices may give happiness to fans who want their heroes to set huge records at the box office. But for the normal audiences who want to see the big movies on the first day, the first show is unable to afford the ticket prices. 

Audiences not happy with huge/flat ticket rates for Movies

They are not at all happy with such premium ticket pricing and ask the government why it is providing whatever price the Telugu Film Industry asks. 

At first it was Pushpa 2, which was followed by Hari Hara Veera Mallu, and now OG also goes on the same path of flat ticket rates for premiers. We need to see where this trend goes, and we cannot be surprised if the ticket rates go to even near 2000 Rs in coming years.

Fans Slam OG Andhra Pradesh GO

Fans Slam OG Andhra Pradesh GO

Pawan Kalyan’s OG’s Andhra Pradesh Ticket GO was released just a while ago with flat 1000 ticket price permissions for 1 AM shows on opening day. Fans are not at all happy with the GO and slam the makers and government.

The AP government allowed a 125 Rs ticket hike for single screens and a 150 Rs ticket hike for multiplex screens for the first 10 days.

Fans are unhappy with this GO, and they ask makers to rethink it. Star hero fans want their film to create new benchmarks in opening, and especially when crazy films like OG release, fans will be curious about box office milestones.

OG: Pawan Kalyan Fans not happy with the Shows/Ticket Rates in Andhra Pradesh

Fans expected a premiere show with a 1000 Rs ticket price on the 24th night, but according to the official order, there are no such premieres for the film, and shows will start at 1 AM. 

Certainly, 1 AM is a risky one compared to premieres because of show timing. Normally, special premieres will have regular second-show timing, which makes audiences active, and midnight shows are always a big risk.

Also, Pawan Kalyan’s fans expected another special show with a flat ticket price for OG, which is not happening. Moreover, most of the big movies will screen 6-7 shows based on the demand, but in GO it strictly mentioned only 5 shows per day, including benefit shows. 

So as per GO, after the 1 AM show, there will be no shows at 5 AM / 8 AM; directly, the show will start at 11 AM. 

All these things have hurt the fans, as they impact the record openings of the film, and they hope that there will be a revised GO from the AP government.

Raja Saab Rumor Storm

Prabhas’s The Raja Saab is continuously in the headlines, not with the updates, but with the rumors. The film has had several release date announcements and postponements as well.

After many postponements, the makers of Raja Saab locked the 5th of December release. But again, there was a huge set of rumors circulating that the movie is moving to Sankranthi 2026, and the makers also confirmed the release as 9th January 2026.

Continuous Rumors Around Prabhas’s The Raja Saab

But now again there is buzz that the movie might not release on Sankranthi, as shooting of the film and post-production works may require more time. 

Despite the team continuously reiterating that the festival release is on, even fans are concerned about the rumors, as the movie has been postponed multiple times already.

We need to wait and see whether the Raja Saab team puts an end to rumors by releasing the film for Sankranthi. 

Currently, the unit is busy in the trailer works, as it intends to attach it to Rishab Shetty’s Kantara Chapter One theaters.

Marco 2 is Happening

Unni Mukundan’s Marco was a huge blockbuster that collected 100 Cr+ gross and did well in Telugu as well. But the film received criticism for extreme gore/violent content, and its sequel was officially shelved. However, the latest news is that Marco 2 is happening.

As said above, the film was a super successful one in theaters, and it was also the 1st Mollywood film to collect double-digit numbers in Hindi. The sequel was announced immediately. 

Everything was good till it ran in theaters, but the issue started after it was banned from TV and OTT platforms due to excessive violence, and the court declared it is an unfit movie for family viewing.

Marco 2 Not Shelved

Unni Mukundan officially posted on Instagram that he has dropped the plans of the second part, as there is so much negativity around the film. With this, everyone thought the Marco franchise would not continue.

But lately, Director Haneef Adeni and Producer Shareef Muhammed have registered the title Lord Marco at the Film Chamber. So, it’s likely to be Marco 2. But the news is that Unni Mukundan is not the lead of the film, and we need to see who will lead this 2nd part of this gory action drama.

War 2 Becomes 1st YRF Spy Film to Miss 10M Overseas

War 2 was released with huge expectations and saw a disastrous result at the box office. Despite having two big stars, Hrithik Roshan and NTR, the film missed crossing the 10M figure overseas. 

The film even failed to match the collections of Tiger 3 as well and ended up with 367 Cr gross collections worldwide and $9.5M overseas collections.

The YRF spy universe started with Ek Tha Tiger in 2012, and at that time itself, the film collected 10.3 million overseas. The next film, Tiger Zinda Hai, went on to collect 20 million, followed by War, which collected 13.75 million.

War 2 Box Office Performance: Weakest in YRF Spy Universe Films

Thereafter, Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan became the record breaker with 50M collections, followed by Salman Khan’s Tiger 3, which collected 14.5M despite mixed talk.

However, unexpectedly, War 2 becomes the least overseas grosser in YRF spy films with a disastrous result, and it also stands as the first film to miss the 10M collection overseas. 

The sequel of War 2 is the biggest film in the entire spy universe, as it stars Hrithik Roshan and NTR as the leads, but the BO performance is the least of the Spy Series films.
