War 2 Day 2: Hindi Up, Telugu Down

0

NTR and Hrithik Roshan’s War 2 was released in theaters amidst big expectations on its box office performance. The film received mixed WOM/reviews, which was reflected in its first-day collections. Coming to Day 2, War 2 performs well in Hindi but goes down in Telugu.

The Hindi version of War’s sequel opened with 28 Cr net in India, and it showed a good jump over day 1 with the help of the Independence holiday advantage. The jump is said to be around 50%, with the estimates being around 41 Cr net in India.

War 2 Shows Good Growth In Hindi On Day 2

Still, the movie is trending below the initial expectations, as everyone expected that the opening day of War 2 would be 50 Cr+, and the 2nd day was expected to collect the biggest figure ever for Bollywood.

However, the weak pre-release buzz and unfavorable reviews resulted in numbers that are not on the expected levels. Having said that, a 50% jump in numbers will provide some relief for the team.

War 2’s Telugu Version Slows Down: The Hindi Version Needs To Show Good Hold Over The Weekend

Coming to the Telugu version, the spy action drama’s Day 2 collections will be lesser than the opening day. On the opening day, the film benefitted from special shows in Andhra Pradesh with flat 500 ticket prices, which played a major role in the opening numbers, and hires were also an added advantage.

But on day 2, there are only regular shows, and the occupancies are also a bit low compared to day 1. The Telugu version’s Day 2 gross is expected to be close to 15 Cr.

So, ultimately, War 2’s collections are good in Hindi on day 2, but the Telugu version is not up to the mark. The total India gross for the second day is similar to the opening day, i.e., in the 62 Cr range. Overall, the film’s two-day all-India gross will be 125 Cr, with the worldwide gross being more than 155 Cr.

Coolie Overseas 1st Day Collections

0

Despite receiving mixed responses from the audiences and critics, Rajnikanth’s Coolie is still performing well at the box office. After a sensational first day, the film shows a good hold today. Coolie Overseas collections on the 1st day are also excellent.

Overseas has been a strong forte of Rajini for many days, and if his film comes with good hype, then the numbers will be unimaginable. That is why the overseas collections for Coolie have been phenomenal.

Coolie Overseas Opening Day

  • North America $3.95M
  • Middle East: $1.82M
  • UK Europe $1.2M
  • Malaysia $760K
  • Singapore $375K
  • Australia $349K
  • Sri Lanka $160K
  • New Zealand $45K
  • Rest $80K
  • Total Overseas: $8.76M – ₹76.8cr

The Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial breaks the previous record and becomes the biggest opening for Kollywood, and it is also the 2nd biggest opening of Indian cinema.

Sir Madam Streaming Details Out Now

0

Vijay Sethupathi and Nitya Menen’s Thalaivan Thalaivii (Sir Madam) was released in theaters at the end of this July and emerged as a sensational blockbuster in Tamil. Now, the film Sir Madam streaming details are out.

After a huge success in Tamil, Thalaivan Thalavi was dubbed into Telugu, but somehow it failed to create the required buzz, and the audiences did not turn towards the theaters. 

However, the film is a blockbuster at the box office, as it collected more than 80 Cr gross worldwide. Director Pandiraj, who faced a big failure with ET starrig Suriya, gave a comeback with this movie.

Sir Madam to be available for streaming from the next week

The latest news is that Sir Madam will be available for streaming from 22nd August on Prime Video in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Malayalam, and Kannada. 

As it has the exciting combination of Vijay Sethupathi and Nitya Menon along with positive reviews, Telugu OTT audiences eagerly await this film’s release.

Kollywood’s 1000 Crore Dream Crashes Again

0

Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie produced a lot of anticipation among audiences across languages and arrived in theaters on August 14th. The film’s collections are rocking, but the mixed response has confirmed that Kollywood’s 1000 crore dream will not be fulfilled by Coolie.

For a long time, Kollywood not only ruled South cinema, but it even ruled Indian cinema, with director Shankar and Rajinikanth having their peak time, which made the industry set many benchmarks. 

However, in the last decade the entire Indian film industry has changed, as post-Baahubali regional cinema turned into pan-Indian cinema, and this is where Kollywood lacked when compared to Telugu cinema or Kannada cinema in making pan-Indian blockbusters.

Tollywood, Bollywood, and Sandalwood’s films have achieved the 1000 Cr milestone, but Kollywood is still failing to achieve this. As mentioned above, Superstar Rajinikanth’s Coolie sparked a lot of expectations and buzz.

Everyone thought that the director Lokesh Kanagaraj would make a film that would achieve the 1000 Cr milestone for the industry, and even Satyaraj said it in the pre-release event.

But the disappointment continues for Tamil Cinema, as Coolie failed to open with positive WOM, and there is no chance for the film to get close to the 1000 Cr milestone. 

The trade is not sure about whether the film can cross Jailer and 2 Point O’s final numbers at this time. How the film holds after the weekend will decide the full run of it.

Mass Jathara Postponed

Raviteja’s Mass Jathara is facing multiple issues. The mass action entertainer, directed by debutant Bogavarapu Bhanu and starring Sree Leela, was announced to be released on August 27th. But the latest news is that Mass Jathara has been postponed.

As said above, the film faces continuous postponements, and the last announced theatrical release date was 27th August. The makers also released a mass song and trailer a few days ago.

Ravi Teja’s Mass Jathara Postponed Again

However, the latest inside reports suggest that Raviteja’s Mass Jathara has been postponed. Reportedly, the talkie part of the film is still incomplete, and 2 song shoots are also pending.

Due to the ongoing strike of the film federation employees, the movie faces a big issue in completing its final works, and the post-production works are said to be still pending.

With this, the buzz is that the movie is getting postponed again, and the makers need to find another good date, as September has many movies scheduled for release.

So, the only option for the Mass Raja’s movie is to move to October.

0

Hrithik Roshan and NTR’s War 2 was released in theaters yesterday, and the film received mixed reviews from audiences and critics. War 2 1st day Worldwide Box Office Collections are out now.

The spy action drama had an ordinary opening in both Telugu and Hindi, whereas the Tamil version gathered a negligible opening at the box office.

War 2 Day 1 Box Office: Decent Collections

In Telugu states the film has collected 18 Cr+ share and 28 Cr gross (including hires). In North India the film has collected around 30 Cr gross, and if we include ROI numbers, then the total goes to 62.5 Cr gross from India.

Overall, the 1st-day worldwide box office collections of War 2 are just decent. The film has collected 20.5 Cr overseas, which takes the total gross to 83 Cr.

If we look at language-wise, then the Telugu version’s gross is around 37 Cr and the Hindi version’s gross is around 47 Cr.

Venkatesh – Trivikram Film Officially Launched

0

One of the most loved combinations of Telugu cinema returns as Venkatesh and Trivikram Srinivas join forces for a fantastic entertainer. Today, the film had its official launch with a traditional pooja ceremony. 

This unique combination has generated industry excitement for months, and finally today, Venkatesh-Trivikram Film has been officially launched.

The Venky-Trivi known combination has produced memorable entertainers like Nuvvu Naaku Nacchav and Malliswari. Also, the director/writer wrote dialogues for Vasu, which are also liked by most of the audiences.

Fans cannot wait to see a blasting entertainer from this unique style combo that promises a mix of fun, drama, and emotion and enthralls all audiences. 

The launch event became more memorable with Suresh Babu turning on the camera. The project, produced by S. Radha Krishna (Chinnababu) at Haarika & Hassine Creations, will begin filming shortly.

War 2 Telugu Version Opens Very Low

0

NTR takes the biggest risk by signing War 2 as his Bollywood debut film after RRR and Devara. The film also stars Hrithik as another lead, and there were huge expectations for the film. However, War 2 Telugu Version opens with very low numbers at the box office.

YRF Spy Universe is not a big brand in Telugu audiences, and such stylish, action-oriented films without much story do not resonate with Telugu people, which is reflected in the movie’s openings.

War 2 Telugu Version Box Office: Low Openings For NTR

The worldwide gross of the Telugu version of War 2 is 38 Cr for day 1, which means the opening of the Telugu version of War 2 is a very low one for NTR-starring films. Normally the 30-40 range opening will be taken by Tier 2 or medium-budget films, such as HIT 3 and Kingdom.

For NTR starrer any film could have easily done more than 100 Cr opening in Telugu, as his last release, Devara, did that, but War 2 fails to resonate with Telugu audiences, and the film crossing the 100 Cr mark in closing itself looks very tough.

Coolie Falls Short of Historic Record

0

This Independence Day, the box office witnessed a big clash between Rajinikanth’s Coolie and Hrithik Roshan-NTR’s War 2. Both films did not receive a big positive response. War 2 and Coolie OTT streaming platform details are out now.

Cooile and War 2 Will Also Compete on OTT

War 2 Digital rights have been bagged by Netflix, while the digital rights of Coolie are with another OTT big player, Prime Video. 

Both movies will stream on OTT in mid-September (Telugu and South versions), which means after 4 weeks, and the Hindi versions will stream in mid-October, as the North Indian multiplex screens have an 8-week theatrical window.

Collections-wise, Coolie and War 2 are expected to have a big day today with the national advantage. Coolie and War 2 will also compete on OTT streaming platforms when they make their digital debut.

Coolie Falls Short of Historic Record

0

Coolie, the action drama starring Superstar Rajinikanth and directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, hit the theaters on August 14th. The film received mixed reviews, but the box office was on fire because of the massive hype. Still, Coolie falls short of an historic record.

No film has collected a double-digit gross in all South States to date. Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 was expected to achieve this feat very easily, as it gathered a mammoth hype. But the film failed to do so because of a disappointing opening in Kerala.

Rajinikanth’s Coolie falls short of this historic record now. The film had a good chance to achieve a double-digit gross in all the South states, but due to mixed WOM and competition, the film could not gather the required number in Kerala and Telangana. 

Now, we need to see which film can achieve this record. Rajini-Nelson’s Jailer 2 has a good chance to achieve this, as it will have a big craze for the sequel.
