Big Producer buys Retro’s Telugu rights
Retro, starring Suriya, is currently in the filming stage. The Teaser of the film was already released, and it created a big sensation, bringing in all the hype. The film also looks like a comeback for Suriya after the Actor received a jolt in the form of Kanguva last year. The Posters, The Teaser and the 1st Single, Kannadi Poove have all worked positively.
The film’s Telugu Teaser has also evoked a fine response, indicating a good sign of performance for the film in Telugu States. The film will also get a big release here even with Hit 3 releasing on the same day, making it a clash.
Retro’s Telugu version has all the chances of scoring big if it receives positive word of mouth. Noted Production House, Sithara Entertainments has grabbed the rights of Retro in Telugu States for around 10 crores.
The next update from the film is expected to be the 2nd single. It is also reported that it features Shriya shaking her leg as an Item number. Retro is scheduled for release on 1st May worldwide. Director Karthik Subbaraj is also said to be putting in his efforts to see the film going big at the box office.
Coolie: A Sure Shot 1000 Cr Film
Coolie, the upcoming action thriller starring superstar Rajinikanth and directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is the most anticipated film from Tamil Cinema this year. There are already massive expectations on the film because of the hero-director combination and the huge star cast. Now, Sundeep Kishan takes the film’s hype to the next level as he says that Coolie is a sure-shot 1000 Cr film.
Sundeep Kishan is confident of Coolie collecting 1000 Crore at the Box Office
During the promotions of his latest film Mazaka, actor Sundeep Kishan talked about Coolie. Though he is not a part of the film, he went to the film’s sets as Lokesh is his friend and witnessed Superstar Rajinikanth. “I watched 45 minutes of the film. It will definitely collect 1000 crores,” said the actor. The fans of Rajini are currently sharing this clip, as Sundeep Kishan takes the film’s hype to the next level as he says that Coolie is a sure-shot 1000 Cr film.
Rajini – Lokesh Movie will need a lot of help fro the Hindi Market
Definitely, Coolie has a capacity of collecting 1000 Cr gross at the worldwide box office if the makers give a big release in Hindi. Especially for multiplex screens, they need to give an 8-week theatrical window, and in Telugu, it has the potential to collect more than 100 Cr gross. In its original language, Tamil, it can go near 600 Cr, and for the rest of the target, the film definitely needs a big help from the Hindi version. Without the Hindi version, getting a 1000 Cr number will definitely not be possible for the Rajini starrer and Lokesh Directorial.
Lokesh Kanagaraj debuted with Sundeep Kishan’s film, and the netizens continuously ask/feel that the actor deserves another chance from Lokesh, and many want the director to bring Sundeep Kishan into LCU and give him a good role. We need to wait and see whether the Khaithi director will oblige the public demand in his upcoming films of LCU.
The Paradise aims beyond India
Tollywood Actor Nani and Director Srikanth Odela joined hands together again for a film titled The Paradise. The duo gave a big blockbuster in the form of Dasara, and fans and audience were excited to see another film in their combo. The film is also said to be the costliest film to be made in Nani’s career, with a budget of around 150 crores.
The Paradise was initially planned as a Pan India film but not it has been learned that the makers are aiming for a market beyond India. This has surely surprised everyone now. The Glimpse of the film was also announced to release on 3rd March. This will also introduce the world of The Paradise. The team says that the film will be many times violent than Dasara.
The Teaser is also said to be arriving in 8 languages consisting of 6 Indian languages, Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali and will also release in 2 other International languages, English and Spanish. It has become very common for current films opting for an International release. Toxic starring Yash, ventured into the style recently, and now, The Paradise is continuing the trend.
Sikandar Teaser Disappoints
Salman Khan’s Sikandar under AR Murugadoss was a sudden announcement as the director at the time was busy with the Siva Karthikeyan film while Salman was in discussions for a film with Vishnu Vardhan. With Sikandar’s sudden announcement, Murugadoss put the Siva Karthikeyan film on hold and started shooting for this Hindi project. The shoot was also completed pretty fast targeting the Eid release.
Everyone expected it would be a big comeback film for Murugadoss as well as Salman Khan. The teaser was released today and it has disappointed fans a lot. Not even a single shot was effective or impressive and the quality and scale of the film also does not look grand. Even Salman Khan’s presence, dialogue, and acting looked quite sub-par and couldn’t impress.
It looked like the team was in a hurry to finish the shoot for the Eid release and completed the shoot pretty quickly. Now it needs to be seen how it would work at the Box office. The teaser has failed to create an impact and it all depends on further promotional content.
Shruti Haasan’s International Debut Unveiled
The trailer of Shruti Haasan’s British movie ‘The Eye’ was released by the makers on Wednesday and it has surprised everyone. The psychological thriller directed by Daphne Schmon featured Shruti Haasan in an intense role with several mysterious elements adding to the surprise.
The trailer follows the journey of Diana (Shruti Haasan) who lost her husband Felix (Mark Rowley) in a drowning accident. What follows his death is a series of haunting and mysterious incidents which will surely shock many. The movie promises to pack elements like supernatural elements, dark exploration, grief, and investigation all into one.
During the film’s Indian premiere at the 5th Wench Festival, Shruti Haasan spoke about her love for mystery and how the film fulfilled her desire to work on such intriguing subjects.
“To be part of a story that dives deep into human emotions, grief, and the supernatural is incredibly exciting. Besides the fact that the film has a riveting storyline and top-notch production quality, what makes this project even more special is that it was created under an all-women-led production house, which aligns with my passion for supporting women in the film industry,” she said.
Kannappa promotions: Why the low budget
Kannappa starring Manchu Vishnu is one of the high budgeted films of Tollywood. The film also has an ensemble cast of noted actors across the Indian Film Industry like Prabhas, Akshay Kumar, Mohanlal and few others. But the film’s promotional activity is not upto the mark with the team not concentrating on it much. Due to this, the film hasn’t been getting a Pan India craze.
The Promotional posters involving all the actors with separate first looks also didn’t generate good hype. The Teaser too didn’t register good response and the first single, Shiva Shiva Shankaraa has worked positively for the film till now. But this is not just enough. Today, the team has released a poster with all the big stars involved in the film also announcing the Teaser’s date. This poster looked ineffective even having Prabhas, Akshay Kumar and Mohanlal in it.
Now, all the hopes are on the Second Teaser which will be released on 1st March on YouTube. It must work big to build the hype at a high level for the film to carry a good hype before the release. The film is scheduled for release on 25th April worldwide.
Mazaka Needs a Miracle
Sundeep Kishan’s Mazaka opens with average – decent reviews and WOM. However, even with the Maha Shivaratri holiday advantage, the film failed to get a good opening at the box office. Mazaka needs a miracle to become a hit at the box office.
The film just collected in the range of 1 Crore share worldwide and the breakeven target is 12 Cr which means the comedy entertainer could not recover even 10% of the business, which says how poor the opening is.
Mazaka: Many factors impacted the film’s openings
Multiple factors impacted the film: low pre-release hype, the songs not working big, releasing at this period when the students’ exams start next Monday, and a successful film Dragon in competition. Today, being a weekday, the film completely went down at the box office, struggling to get a minimum occupancy in the theaters. Mazaka needs a miracle to become a hit at the box office.
Now Mazaka needs a miraculous turn in the next few days, at least to give some decent recovery for buyers or else it will end up as a heavy loss venture. The only positive thing for the film is that it did not have bad reviews or talk, and it needs to pull big numbers this weekend to put the buyers in a safe position.
Telugu Audiences Reject Marco on OTT
Marco- Mollywood’s most violent action film releases on Christmas and it emerges as a huge blockbuster. The film performed decently in Telugu and managed to pull the audience well enough. Marco was a big success in Hindi and did well with double-digit collections.
The makers were confident that after its OTT release, Marco would gain wider reach and appreciation. It made its OTT premiere on Sony Liv on 14th February in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam with English subtitles.
Unfortunately, the film couldn’t create such a huge impact on the Telugu audience after its OTT release. The response has been quite cold and quite opposite to what the makers expected. This could have a significant impact on Marco 2 which is officially announced.
The Hindi version is streaming on Prime Video from today and looking at the theatrical response, there is a high possibility that it will be well received on OTT as well. If the Hindi version manages to get a good response from OTT then it a great news as Hindi is the biggest market after Malayalam for Marco 2. The success of the prequel and positive reception in Hindi would lead to Marco 2 being shot on a grander scale.
