0

In recent days, most of the films are struggling to lock the digital business. Even the big stars and big production houses are failing to achieve the expected/quoted numbers and struggling massively to lock the digital deals. However, the popular OTT giant, Netflix, backs Nani in a big way.

Netflix and Nani – A Blockbuster Combination

Nani’s films are locking the digital deals even before going on sets. From Shyam Singa Roy to the latest Saripodhaa Sanivaaram, all of Nani’s recent releases’ rights have been bought by Netflix, and his next film, HIT 3, has its digital rights for all languages also bought by the popular streaming platform.

Paradise – Court and Chiru Odela Cinema will also arrive on Netflix

The Paradise, the second film under the combination of Nani and Srikanth Odela, also cracked the digital deal with Netflix for a huge price. Not only Nani’s lead films but even his production films are grabbed by Netflix. Court, the upcoming legal drama starring Priyadarshi and produced by Wall Poster Cinema, will also arrive on Netflix, as the digital rights of the film were bought long ago. 

As said above, recently, the small films are struggling big time to lock non-theatrical deals, but as Nani is involved with the film, Court, it had a direct deal. Chiranjeevi and Srikanth Odela are combining hands for a film. This film is presented by Nani. Netflix will mostly grab the digital rights for this biggie as well. Popular OTT Giant Netflix backs Nani in a big way.

Court – State Vs A Nobody | Trailer Announcement (The Adjournment) | In Cinemas On March 14th

The Judgement Factor Working in Favor of Nani

Netflix is going all over for Nani wherever his name is involved, and they are getting those rights because of his star power and his judgment as well. Definitely he is one of the most promising heroes for producers, as his films have good deals in all aspects. 

Nani’s films are creating a massive viewership for Netflix in all languages, and it is a win-win situation for Nani and Netflix at the end of the day.

Game Changer Hindi Streaming Details

0

Game Changer, the big-budget film starring Ram Charan and directed by Shankar, arrived in theaters after facing many obstacles. It was released in theaters worldwide this January 10th and failed to impress and emerged as a big failure in all languages. The political action drama is already streaming on OTT in all South Indian languages, and Game Changer Hindi streaming details are out now.

Game Changer: A Big Failure

With a breakeven target of 450 Cr gross, GC ended up collecting around 195 Cr gross in the full run. It resulted in a big loss venture for all parties involved and a heavy loss venture for producer Dil Raju.

The film’s South Indian language digital rights are with Prime Video for a big price, and it arrived on the popular OTT platform within 4 weeks for streaming. Ram Charan’s Game Changer Hindi streaming details are out now. 

The Hindi version’s streaming rights are with ZEE5, and they waited for a long time because of the 8-week theatrical window, and the film will be arriving this 7th March on ZEE5 in Hindi. As it involves big names, the Hindi audiences are eagerly awaiting the film’s OTT release.

Mazaka: Early OTT Release?

0

There were a lot of expectations on Mazaka as it was a commercial entertainer, and it was expected to give a big break for Sundeep Kishan. The director, Trinadha Rao Nakkina’s brand image also raised the anticipation among trade. However, Mazaka failed to perform at least decently. The latest reports suggest that Mazaka is opting for an early OTT release.

Mazaka: Huge Loss Venture at the Box Office

The film was made on a massive budget of 30 Cr with Hasya Movies, AK Entertainments, and ZEE Studios collaboration, and it did good business theatrically. It was released on Maha Shivaratri day with early premieres. Even though it opened with decent reviews and WOM, the film failed to work at the box office. The theatrical breakeven target was 25 Cr gross, but the film collected around 10 Cr gross in the 1st week and can be considered as the final collections for the film.

Sundeep Kishan’s Mazaka to arrive on OTT soon

With this, the film is expected to make its digital debut much earlier than expected. As ZEE Studios is directly involved in the film’s production, they put in a very big amount. So, to compensate for this, it is likely to stream early to get big viewership. So, it is certain that Sundeep Kishan’s Mazaka is opting for an early OTT release.

ZEE5: Same Plan for Mazaka like Sankranthiki Vasthunam?

Normally, Telugu films maintain a 4-week theatrical window, but with a bad result at the box office, Mazaka is expected to arrive on OTT in less than 3 weeks, and ZEE5, recently, with Sankranthiki Vasthunam, started screening television premieres and OTT premieres at the same time.

Even for Mazaka, the ZEE group also has satellite rights along with digital rights, so they might choose the same option as Sankranthiki Vasthunnam. However, Venkatesh and Anil Ravipudi’s film was a huge blockbuster, and the viewers waited for more than 6 weeks to watch it. But Mazaka is a failure, so it is expected to arrive very soon.

The film is expected to do well on OTT as well, and there are many film lovers eagerly waiting for Thandel’s OTT release.


Rekha Chithram On Sony Liv

There is a huge demand for Malayalam thrillers on OTT platforms, and the audience will soon get to experience another epic thriller. Asif Ali’s Rekha Chirthram is being lauded as one of the best investigation thrillers in recent times, and it emerged as a sensational blockbuster at the box office by collecting around 60 Cr gross worldwide. It is the biggest blockbuster of Mollywood this year and will arrive on 7th March on Sony Liv in all languages.

Kudumbasthan On Zee 5

With Good Night and Lover, Manikandan created his mark for Telugu audiences as well. His films are working pretty well on OTTs. His latest film, Kudumbasthan, is a family entertainer and his biggest blockbuster at the Box office, collecting more than 25 Cr gross in Tamil Nadu. This film has established Manikandan as one of the most promising actors in Kollywood and has taken him to a new level. The family entertainer will stream from 7th March on Zee 5 in all languages.

Manushi Chhillar graced a Hindustan Times event with a captivating 70s retro elegance, looking adorable in a simple white saree. Her timeless charm was undeniable. Currently, she’s filming for “Maalik,” where she stars alongside Rajkumar Rao.

Sikandar continues to disappoint

0

Sikandar, the upcoming big film from Bollywood starring Salman Khan, is all set to arrive in theaters for this EID. There are very huge expectations on this film as the fans and trade want it to be the comeback film for Salman. However, Sikandar continues to disappoint as it is failing to generate the required buzz.

Salman’s Sikandar Failing to Build the Hype

As said above, the film had a good hype until a few days ago, as it was coming from a director like AR Murgudoss, and everyone believed it would be a perfect mass action film. But after seeing the teaser, expectations came down for audiences, and now the 1st single was released, which was also disappointing.

Composed by Pritam and choreographed by Farah Khan, Zohra Jabeen is the first single of Sikandar. The song was sung by Nakash Aziz and Dev Negi, while Sameer and Danish Sabrina wrote the lyrics. The song did not impress the fans, and they are now doubting the film’s content, as Sikandar continues to disappoint.

Zohra Jabeen – First Single of Sikandar

Along with the below-par promotional content and all aspects, Salman Khan’s presence itself looks very ordinary and disappointing in the film. The film is crucial for both Salman Khan and Murgudoss, and they completed the film very quickly to arrive on EID. We need to wait and see how the movie will fare at the box office.

To bring the required massive buzz among audiences, these promotions will definitely not help the film, and let us hope at least the trailer of the film works well.

Don’t Call Nayanthara as Lady Superstar

0

Actress Nayanthara shared a heartfelt message online where she spoke out against the title ‘Lady Superstar,’ which her fans and admirers have given her with love. Even though she appreciates the love from her behind the title, she has asked her fans to just call her Nayanthara and not Lady Superstar.

In her message, Nayanthara explained that while titles and awards are important, they also lead to a gap between an actor and their work. To her, the name Nayanthara reflects who she really is—not just as an actress but as a person. Netizens are applauding the actress as  Nayanthara requests her fans not to call her Lady Superstar.

Don’t Call Me a Lady Supertsar – Nayanthara

The actress wrote, “Many of you have graciously referred to me as ‘Lady Superstar,” a title born out of your immense affection. I owe you all a lot for crowning me with such a valuable title. However, I humbly request you all to call me “Nayanthara.” This is because I feel that the name is what I hold closest to my heart. It represents who I am not just as an actor but as an individual. Titles and accolades are priceless, but they can sometimes create an image that separates us from our work, our craft, and the unconditional bond we share with you, the audience, (sic).”

She added, “I believe we all share the language of love that keeps us connected beyond all limits. While the future might be unpredictable for all of us, I’m so happy that your unfading support will remain constant, and so will my hard work to entertain you. Cinema is what keeps us united, and let us keep celebrating it together (sic).”

Upcoming Films of Nayanthara

Nayanthara is waiting for the release of her new movie, Test, which will be available to stream on Netflix soon. The exact release date will be shared shortly. She also has several other films in the works, like Mannangatti Since 1960, Dear Students, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, Rakkayir, and MMMN with Mammootty and Mohan. Plus, she’s working on a secret project with director Vishnu Edavan.

Vidaamuyarchi Overtakes Daaku Maharaaj

0

Ajith’s recent theatrical release, Vidaamuyarchi, was a big disappointment in the theaters. The film had a good first day at the box office and registered a career-best opening number for the star. However, it failed to have a decent run at the theaters after the first weekend. Surprisingly, Ajith’s Vidaamuyarchi overtakes Daaku Maharaaj on Netflix now.

Daaku Maharaaj scored a massive success upon its OTT release, and it took the OTT giant Netflix by storm. The action drama started trending at the no. 1 position in India and was listed in the top 10 in many countries, making a global impact. 

Now the position of Daaku has been replaced on Netflix on the 1st day itself by Ajith-Magizh Thirumeni’s film. Ajith’s Vidaamuyarchi overtakes Daaku Maharaaj on Netflix. The film started streaming on OTT yesterday.

It is widely known that Ajith is a big star, and the film received below-par word of mouth upon its theatrical release. Also, most of the people waited for the OTT release because of such weak talk. That is the reason for the film trending in the No. 1 position immediately in India.

Vidaamuyarchi is receiving a similar kind of review from OTT audiences too, as most of the viewers say that it has a decent first half but was diluted by a dull second half. OTT audiences also felt that the film was too stretched, and it is receiving mixed responses, much like the theatrical release.

The movie is available for streaming in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi. Netflix bought Vidaamuyarchi for a huge price, which is said to be around 70 Cr. So, they need massive viewership for the valued rights.
