Empuraan Creates History: First 100 Cr Share Film in Mollywood

0

Mohanlal’s Empuraan is achieving many big milestones for Mollywood. Because it was a sequel, the trade expected it to gather massive numbers at the box office, and the film is doing well. Empuraan creates history as it becomes the first 100 Cr share film in Mollywood.

Even though Manjummel Boys collected 240 Cr gross, it did not achieve a 100 Crore share due to the difference in terms with the distributors, and especially it received huge numbers in Tamil Nadu, and their share percentage was low. So, it failed to join the 100 Cr share club.

L2: Empuraan collected around 235 Cr gross worldwide for 8 days, and the share will be more than 100 Cr. In Kerala, the film has collected more than 30 Cr share and around 60 Cr share from overseas. The rest of India’s share will be more than 10 Cr.

With all these, Monalal’s Empuraan creates history as it becomes the first 100 Cr share film in Mollywood. The surprising thing is the senior hero is the one who is scoring big hits at the box office every now and then.

Mohanlal is the one who opened the 100 Cr gross club for Mollywood, and now he himself has achieved the 100 Cr share club with Empuraan, and with today’s collections, the film will also beat Manjummel Boys (240 Cr) and will become the new industry hit. The film has a high chance of joining the 300 Cr club as well.

Nani during the promotional activities recently mentioned that the team will be roping in Actors across various Industries for the upcoming films of the franchise. Likewise, the buzz is that the Kollywood Actor Karthi has been approached to play the lead role in HIT 4.

This is indeed a great move by the team and the franchise will start getting the Pan India appeal with this move. Karthi will also be a right choice for the genre and the theme and this film will have a bi-lingual effect as Karthi enjoys a good fanbase in Telugu States.

Naga Chaitanya’s Decision Leaves Fans Disappointed

0

After a series of failures, Naga Chaitanya made a strong comeback with Thandel, and he signed his next film with Virupaksha director Karthik, which is said to be the biggest budget film in Chaitu’s career. However, Naga Chaitanya’s decision leaves fans disappointed.

As Thandel gave a big hit to Naga Chaitanya, the fans were happy as their favorite hero was on the right track, and from now he will do much bigger films, and the market and range of Chaitanya will be leveled up continuously. 

Naga Chaitanya doing a Web Series after Dootha

But disappointing news about their hero has hurt the fans that Naga Chaitanya is doing a web series. The actor who worked for Manam with Vikram K Kumar did a web series called Dhootha for Prime Video, which received a very good response. 

But any hero fans want their favorite star to expand the market and reach bigger levels at the box office, and Naga Chaitanya’s decision leaves fans disappointed, and they definitely do not like that their favorite star is doing a web series.

In a situation where the fans are on a high with Thandel, they expect Chaitanya to focus only on big-screen films. We need to see how Naga Chaitanya reacts to this feedback from his fans.

Jack Trailer: A Risky Bet

0

DJ Tillu fame Siddhu Jonnalagadda is all set to entertain audiences with his upcoming movie. The film is directed by Bommarillu Bhaskar, whose strong zone consists of elements like love, entertainment, and emotions. But the film’s trailer is filled with different elements, unlike the director’s previous films. The Jack trailer is a risky bet.

Siddhu Jonnagadda plays the lead role in Jack, while Baby fame Vaishnavi Chaitanya plays the lead actress in this film. The teaser and recently released kiss song hinted that a good love entertainer is coming in this combo.

Jack: A Different Attempt from Bommarillu Bhaskar

But the trailer showcases a different angle, which audiences did not expect. The trailer deals with concepts like terrorist operations and RAW-type intelligence teams and a lot of action with a mix of entertainment.

JACK Trailer – Siddhu Jonnalagadda – Vaishnavi Chaitanya – Bommarillu Bhaskar

The terrorist episode seems to be treated entertainingly, and Siddhu’s character seems to be doing a larger-than-life role in this film. Even though the trailer presents the hero as an entertaining character, it seems that the lead character will have some backstory.

JACK Trailer: Can Siddhu Repeat the Same Magic of DJ Tillu?

The conversations between Prakash Raj and Siddhu seem to have worked, and the love track is also mixed into the main story. Siddhu’s dialogues and mannerisms are much similar to DJ Tillu’s, and it can be a big positive and negative as well, depending on how the film blends the entertainment with the main story.

Siddhu Jonnalagadda’s Jack trailer is a risky bet. The film’s setup and action touch are fresh for Bommarillu Bhaskar and Siddhu, and yes, it also has the mix of entertainment, and if it works perfectly, then the risk of the actor and director will turn into a big reward.

Backed by the SVCC Production banner, the film will be released in theaters worldwide on 10th April 2025.

Indian 3 on Track: Pre-Production Progresses

0

Indian 2, the sequel to the classic blockbuster Indian (1997), starring Kamal Haasan and directed by Shankar, emerged as the biggest failure and disappointed everyone. Since the film faced a big debacle at the box office, there were reports that the next part would not be made. However, the latest news is that Indian 3 is on track, and pre-production is in progress.

As said above, the Bharateeyudu 2 (Indian Two) was a big failure at the box office, but the team can not stop completing Indian 3’s pending shoot because more than 80% of the shooting has already been completed for the film.

Indian 3 Pre-Production Work in progress

The team has already spent huge crores of money on the film, so they need to complete it to see some recovery at least. Reportedly, there are around 30 days of shooting pending to complete the 3rd part of the Indian franchise.

The makers have been said to be discussing that, and the pre-production and scripting works are reportedly in progress. Kamal Haasan and Shankar’s Indian 3 is on track, and pre-production is in progress. Also, the film will go to the sets very soon.

Indian 3 Shoot Will Be Done with a Tight Budget

It is also being said that Kaml and Shankar are compromising on their remunerations and the shoot as well. They are not going for any rich sets or grand locations to complete the film. At first, a song was planned in the film, but it has been shelved as now the team wants to just complete the film, and it can not put in a big amount of money.

Even though Indian 2 has failed and Shankar is in a very tough phase, if Indian 3 works well and receives positive WOM, then audiences will definitely come to the theaters.

Crucial Month for Hari Hara Veera Mallu

Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veer Mallu has been in sets for a long time. The film’s shoot went on to progress for years, and even though there was a director change, the movie was also divided into two parts as many things happened in between. April is a very crucial month for Hari Hara Veera Mallu.

April – Crucial Month for Hari Hara Veera Mallu

As said above, there have been continuous postponements of HHMV’s release date due to many reasons, but finally, the team is gearing up for release on 9th May. The film Stands was the only tier 1 star Biggie of this summer.

Also, after many years, PSPK is coming out with a straight and big-budget film, so there are very big expectations for this film despite all the delays. That is why this April is a very crucial month for Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Exciting Promotions Ahead

The team needs to complete the pending shoot portions in April only, and the Deputy CM of Andhra Pradesh is said to have agreed to allot dates for the film in this month. As per the plan, the entire shoot is expected to be completed by mid-April, and post-production work as well.

The makers spent a huge amount on VFX, and till now, 2 songs have been released from this film. The makers are also said to be working on the 3rd single, and they will release it this month along with a making video and theatrical trailer.

The HHVM team needs to finish all work in April to release the film as per their plan. The team is confident of the 9th May release and reiterated that there will be no postponements from now on.

Veera Dheera Sooran 1st week Worldwide Box Office Collections

0

Chiyaan Vikram’s Veera Dheera Sooran somehow failed to create a big buzz before the release. After its release, even after getting positive feedback, the film did not live up to its potential. Veera Dheera Sooran’s 1st-week worldwide box office collections are out now.

Due to multiple postponements and some other issues, the pre-release hype of the film got diluted, and on the release day, the film faced financial issues, which resulted in the shows getting started from evening shows.

Despite all these hurdles, the film opened with positive WOM, but it was a low start at the ticket windows for the film. The film witnessed a jump in the collections for the weekend, but that jump is not like a big movie. 

Chiyaan Vikram’s Veera Dheera Sooran’s 1st-week worldwide box office collections are out now, and the film collected around 27 Cr gross in Tamil Nadu, which is a highly disappointing number for a Vikram starrer with positive WOM.

Many films that received disastrous responses have done better than this. In Telugu, the film is a complete washout and was decent in Karnataka. The film has collected around 34 Cr gross in India, and it did very well in the Gulf and surrounding countries with 5 Cr gross.

Gulf is the best-performing territory for the film. The EID advantage helped the film a lot. The film did average numbers in other overseas areas as well. Overall, the first week’s worldwide gross is 46 Cr.

There is certainly no chance for Verea Dheera Sooran Part 2 to collect 100 Cr+ in a full run, and the trade expects it to close around 75 Cr gross. Though the numbers are decent, it is a disappointing performance at the box office for a star hero.
