Naga Vamsi in Serious Trouble

0

Naga Vamsi emerged as one of the biggest producers in Tollywood with a very good success ratio in recent years. He also tasted success in distribution with Leo and Devara. But Naga Vamsi is in serious trouble now after Kingdom and War 2. 

As said above, Vamsi quickly became the address for success with continuous hits. The distribution of Devara was a huge success, followed by Daaku Maharaj and Mad Square, and he announced a big pan-India film in the combination of NTR and Trivikram.

Vamsi reached the range of Dil Raju and Mythri Movies in releasing continuous films and scoring successes. But now Naga Vamsi faces serious issues with continuous setbacks.

Kingdom and War 2: Back-to-Back Losses For Naga Vamsi

Retro was released in the Telugu States by Naga Vamsi, which is an outright disaster. Kingdom also did not achieve break-even for buyers.

Now the biggest setback for Vamsi is that War 2 is heading towards more than a 50% loss venture. His next film, Mass Jathara, does not carry much buzz, and due to workers’ strike, the movie’s works are still pending, which has forced a postponement.

Rains Killing War 2, Coolie

0

The Independence Day clash between War 2 and Coolie excited audiences and trade as well. Both films were expected to mint huge collections. However, none of the films received good talk. Also, rains in Telugu states are killing War 2 and Coolie 2 today. 

For any film, the first Sunday is so crucial because that is the day when a film normally registers big collections and footfalls. For the Coolie and War sequels, the first Sunday is more crucial because both films opened with bad to mixed WOM and reviews.

Huge Rains In Telugu States: Coolie And War 2 See Decline In Collections

Because both films might find it tough to maintain collections after Sunday. The sad part is both films were hit very hard by heavy rains in Telugu states. Both films see a big drop in collections compared to yesterday due to rains. This is a shocker for buyers.

War 2 and Coolie have been affected by huge rains, and the weather reports suggest that these could be continuing for the next 2-3 days, which will put the theater owners in high trouble.

NTR Hit Streak Ends

0

From Temper to Devara, star actor NTR never had a flop at the box office for nearly a decade. However, War 2, which was supposed to be a big jump in his career, is moving towards a big failure. NTR’s hit streak ends with War 2.

Maintaining a success streak is so tough in the cinema industry, as the success ratio is very low for almost all heroes. But NTR from Temper maintained the hit streak without any failure.

However, with War 2, NTR fails to maintain the record and ends the streak of hits. The film has collected 35 Cr share in Telugu states for three days, and the breakeven stands at 95 Cr including GST, which means a 50% loss is expected for buyers.

War 2 Stops The Success Streak of NTR Since Decade

The War sequel is turning out to be an outright disaster, as even the Hindi version is also not doing well, and it is likely to close under 200 Cr net in India at the current trend.

So, in Hindi also, this spy action drama is a failure. Overall, for 3 days, the film has collected around 215 Cr gross worldwide, and it is likely to end under 350 Cr gross.

War 2 Bombs in Telugu States

0

NTR’s Bollywood debut film, War 2, was released in theaters amidst huge expectations among fans. The film did not receive positive talk, which affected its collections. As a result, War 2 bombs in Telugu states.

The Telugu States theatrical rights of the War sequel were bought by Naga Vamsi for 82 Cr excluding GST; with GST, the film needs to collect a 95 Cr share for break-even. The film sees a below-par opening and holds average on day 2. 

War 2 Drops Heavily In Telugu States

But on day 3 it completely loses the momentum and sees a heavy drop in numbers. NTR and Hrithik Roshan’s War 2 is heading towards a big failure in Telugu states.

For three days, the Telugu states’ share is around 5 Cr, including GST, and the Hindi version’s recovery is just at 35%. Today advance bookings are also poor for the film, and even crossing 50 Cr share itself looks not possible. 

Unexpectedly, this spy action drama is heading towards a heavy loss venture for all buyers involved in its business. 

Coolie Heads for Heavy Loss in Kerala

0

Rajinikanth’s Coolie is fighting at the box office on its first weekend, as it received mixed WOM/reviews. The film registered several records in three days. But Coolie is heading for a heavy loss in Kerala

The film’s theatrical rights for Kerala were bought for 14 Cr MG, with expenses. For full recovery, the film needs to collect close to 40 Cr gross. The film opens really well with 9.75 Cr, and on day 2 holds well with 5.75 Cr gross.

However, on day 3 the film sees a heavy drop in numbers with 3 Cr gross, taking total gross to 18.5 Cr. Today advance bookings are poor, suggesting the number will be lower than day 3.

At this trend the film cannot post any decent numbers from tomorrow, and it is likely to close under 25 Cr gross. Which means Rajinikanth’s Coolie will end up with a heavy loss in Kerala.

More than 30% loss is expected for buyers, and this is the first time that a Lokesh Kanagaraj film is facing a loss venture in Kerala. Even Leo, with mixed WOM, succeeds in achieving breakeven and profits in Kerala.

Akkineni fans are furious with Nagarjuna, as they felt his character in Coolie, Simon, does not do justice to his stature or stardom. While the film is minting good collections at the box office, Akhil Akkineni shocks fans with his latest Instagram post on Simon/Nagarjuna.

When Lokesh Kanagaraj and team announced that King Nag will play the role of Simon in Rajinikanth’s Coolie, Akkineni fans and audiences put big hopes on his character.

The first look poster of Nagarjuna’s character and the back shot in the Powerhouse promo, Lokesh comparing it with the Joker character from The Dark Knight—everything raised the hype among fans.

However, when they actually saw the movie, Nag fans were completely disappointed with Simon’s characterization in the film. The fans and audiences are continuously firing at Nagarjuna about how he was convinced to take on this role.

In a situation like this, Akhil Akkineni took the fans by surprise as he posted a photo with Nagarjuna on Instagram, saying, “Congratulations to King for ‘Coolie.'”
