Mirai Kills Kishkindhapuri

Two movies getting released on one date, and one of them getting affected by another movie, is not a new thing in the Telugu film industry. The latest fantasy adventure film, Mirai, kills Kishkindhapuri, a horror thriller in competition.

Mirai was initially planned to be released on 5th September, and it was later moved to 12th September. Bellamkonda Sreenivas and his film’s team officially stated that the Mirai team did not even approach them before announcing the release date.

Kishikindhapuri gets affected at the box office because of Mirai

Definitely, if the Mirai team had approached the Kishkindhapuri team, they could have postponed or postponed the date. But at the end of the Kishkindhapuri is the one that is affected massively by the competition.

Even though Kishkindhapuri gets positive WOM, it is getting overshadowed by Mirai’s dominance. The horror film is getting decent numbers, but if it had a solo weekend, Kishkindhapuri could have enjoyed a much bigger weekend.

At least if Kishkindhapuri had been released on 11th September, Day 1 could have seen some big numbers. In one of the promotional interviews, Bellamkonda Sreenivas expressed that the other movie’s team did not contact them.

If both movies had discussed and planned the things, Kishkindhapuri could have benefited in a big way, and absolutely there is no effect on Mirai because of Kishkindhapuri, but the latter is getting severely affected by the former.

Teja Sajja Aims Higher Than Nani And Vijay Deverakonda

Putting the Top stars aside, Nani and Vijay Devarakonda are the leading stars in the tier 2 heroes in terms of craze, business, openings, and box office milestones. But with Hanuman Teja Sajja emerging as a promising star, he aims higher than Nani and Vijay Deverakonda.

There were some analyses that Hanuman is a one-time wonder and Teja cannot carry such big hits afterward. But he proves them wrong with sensational business and openings for his latest film, Mirai, and he proves himself as an established star.

The trade expects Mirai to do 100 Cr gross in Telugu states and 150 Cr gross worldwide. If this happens, Teja Sajja will be the 1st Tier 2 hero to achieve this milestone, as even Nani and Vijay Deverakonda, or any other Tier 2 star, did not achieve this milestone.

Mirai is having a rampage weekend at the box office, with all areas’ Day 2 advances being 30% higher than opening day.

Mirai Bookings: Day 2 Outshines Day 1

Mirai is having a terrific opening day at the box office. The film received positive reviews, and it was reflected in its numbers. It showed a superb strength with each passing show, and the bookings for day 2 outshone day 1 of the film.

The opening day gross of the film at the box office is almost 20 Cr worldwide, and the surprising part is day 2 advance bookings are even bigger than opening day.

Mirai Bookings for Day 2 are massive

For instance, Hyderabad Day 1 BMS advance bookings are at 1.7 Cr, whereas Day 2 total is at 2.3 Cr, with more than a 30% jump. The same situation exists for bookings in all areas.

Overall, Mirai surpasses its day 1 bookings with day 2, and the film is all set to cross 50 Cr gross in the first weekend alone. 

The trade expectations are at 150 Cr gross in the full run, and it can achieve more than that if the North Indian audiences connect to it.

Lokah Breaks Thudarum in Overseas

Till now, only three films from Mollywood have achieved 10M USD collections overseas, and all three films have been released this year. Lokah breaks Mohanlal’s Thudarum Overseas and enters as the new entrant in this club.

Earlier this year, Mohan Lal’s Empuraan became the first film from the Malayalam industry to cross the 10 million mark, and the next film was also his film, Thudarum, which released just a month later.

Now Kalyani Priyadarshan’s Lokah even breaks Thudarum’s closing collections and settles at the top 2 position.

Top 3 Mollywood Overseas Grossers—

  1. Empuraan – $16.90M
  2. Lokah – $11.21M (15 Days)
  3. Thudarum – $11.06M

Last year and this year have been fantastic for Mollywood, with many big blockbusters at the box office. The Lokah movie’s success is more special as it is the starting film of the biggest cinematic universe in the industry.

Mirai: Not Prabhas Original Voice Over

Teja Sajja’s latest film, Mirai, released in theaters today, opened to a stunning response. The makers surprised everyone with the voiceover of Prabhas at the beginning of the film, but it is being said that it is an AI-generated one and not the original one.

Just a few hours before the film’s special premiere yesterday, Teja Sajja took to his social media account and thanked the Baahubali actor for his help with the film. Everyone was excited with the thought that Prabhas might appear in a cameo in the movie.

Mirai Makers used AI for Prabhas’ Voice Over?

The ticket sales were also pushed to the bigger range before release because of the hype. Later it was revealed that Prabhas just gave a voiceoverin the movie for around 2 minutes at the start of Mirai.

But fans feel that the voice seems very different from Prabhas’ original voice. It seems that the team of Mirai used AI technology and mixed it with the original voice of the actor.

Lokesh Kanagaraj Loses Faith of Top Stars

Director Lokesh Kanagaraj made a good impression among Tamil and Telugu audiences in recent years. However, his recent release, Coolie, has changed his image. Lokesh Kanagaraj loses the faith of top stars now. 

Till Vikram (2022) there were no complaints about Lokesh, and everyone believed that he was the best at presenting star heroes on the big screen. In Master, apart from the film’s lead, Vijay, even the character of Vijay Sethupathi also worked massively.

Similarly, in the Vikram movie, along with the character of Kamal Haasan, Fahad Faasil, Vijay Sethupathi, and mainly Suriya’s Rolex glimpse worked brilliantly and enthralled fans.

Because of that impact, Tamil and Telugu movie fans said that Lokesh is one such director who presents stars in the best way. But after Vikram, in Leo, the way the director handled the characters of Arjun and Sanjay Dutt resulted in a big dissatisfaction among audiences.

Many felt that the portrayal of both characters was very weak, and during a recent press meet, Sanjay Dutt also expressed his disappointment about his character.

Now, the same thing happened with Rajinikanth’s Coolie. Stars like Nagarjuna, Upendra, and Aamir Khan appeared in the film, but the thing is all the fans and audiences are not at all happy with the characterizations and portrayal of the above-mentioned stars.

With this, definitely, it’s not easy for Lokesh Kangaraj to pull big stars for important roles in his next films.

Teja Sajja Inspires Tier 2 Heroes

Actor Teja Sajja scored an unbelievable blockbuster at the box office last year with Hanu-Man. Lately, he released another film, Mirai, which is on course to become a super-duper hit. Teja Sajja inspires tier-2 heroes with his success formula.

Nowadays, doing films with Tier-2 heroes is riskier for producers, as for most of the films, business is not happening as they expect, and they are ending up with huge losses. Even big producers like Dil Raju, Mythri Movies, and many other producers are struggling to score hits.

In tier-2 heroes, except for Nani, no one is consistently delivering success. But Reja Sajja is showing how big we can get at the box office with the right selection of projects and catching the audience’s pulse.

The actor’s previous film, Hanuman, became the biggest grosser in medium-budget films. Now Mirai is trending on a rampage note, and it has been declared as a blockbuster already. 

His next film, Zombie Reddy 2, will also have a huge craze. Along with selecting the right kind of scripts, Teja Sajja also does well on the marketing side. He goes all out to promote his movie in Telugu states and all languages as well.

Definitely Tier 2 heroes need to look at Teja Sajja for the selection of movies and how to market film overall.
