Dhanush’s NEEK Crashes at the Box Office

0

Dhanush’s latest directorial venture, ‘NEEK’, despite receiving decent reviews and positive word of mouth, failed to make an impact at the box office. The film had a below-par opening weekend, grossing approximately ₹8.5 crore worldwide. However, it crashed on the first working day, collecting less than ₹1 crore globally. With such a steep drop, ‘NEEK’ is expected to wrap up its theatrical run with a single-digit share collection.

While the film turned out to be a theatrical failure, the makers managed to recover their investment through non-theatrical rights, thanks to Dhanush’s strong brand as a director. Though this marks Dhanush’s first directorial failure in terms of box office performance, the content itself wasn’t poorly received. Many believe that the poor release date played a major role in its underwhelming performance.

However, ‘NEEK’ is expected to gain popularity once it arrives on OTT, where it could receive a much better response. Meanwhile, Dhanush has already announced his next directorial, ‘Idly Kadai’, which is slated for release on April 10. Interestingly, this film will clash with Ajith Kumar’s highly anticipated ‘Good Bad Ugly’, making it a high-stakes competition at the box office.

Given how ‘NEEK’ struggled against tough competition, many speculate that ‘Idly Kadai’ might get postponed to avoid a similar fate. Additionally, Dhanush himself is playing the lead in the film, making its performance even more crucial for him as both a director and an actor.

0

After a sensational 1st weekend with 50 Cr gross worldwide, Pradeep Ranganathan’s Dragon continues the same strong momentum. Dragon’s Day 4 Box Office is super strong.

On its 1st weekday, the film holds 80% of opening day collections in Tamil Nadu, and it is expected to collect around 4.5 Cr in TN today. In Telugu States too, the film holds strong with around 1 Cr gross collection. The best thing is the overseas hold is again good. Pradeep Ranganathan’s Dragon’s Day 4 Box Office is super strong, after a sensational 1st weekend with 50 Cr.

Box Office: Excellent Hold for Dragon

Overall for 4 days, the movie’s collection will be around 58 Cr. Tomorrow is Maha Shivarathri holiday. The movie is expected to witness a big jump from today’s evening shows and certainly will have a solid day at the box office tomorrow.

The film is expected to collect around 80 Cr in the 1st week and will cross the 100 Cr mark by this weekend itself. Its hold after the 2nd weekend will decide whether Dragon collects in the 150 Cr range. One big advantage of the film is there are no crazy films in Tamil for a few days.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu marketing mistake

0

Hari Hara Veera Mallu starring Pawan Kalyan is one of the big budgeted films of Tollywood. The film faced many delays and this became a reason for the Producer, A.M. Ratnam to have a deficit release. In this case, the film needs a good promotional strategy which is not in place, surprisingly. The film, as a result of this, is not carrying good hype because of this.

First Single, Maata Vinaali didn’t register well with fans and audience failing to create the buzz. Many felt that this song may click only in the theatre. The Lyrical video of 2nd single of the film, Kollagottinaadhiro released today.

This song is definitely a better one compared to the first single. But this song also can’t connect well and raise the buzz as these songs will work out only in the theatres. The team could have opted releasing the characters’ first looks by also showing strong visuals with it. A second Teaser should also be considered with fine visual content. This would surely raise the hype and buzz for the film.

The team is also waiting for Pawan Kalyan to allot dates to complete the shoot of the film which is getting delayed several times. There is also buzz in the Industry circles that the film may not come on the announced release date of 28th March this year.

A magic has to happen for the film to raise expectations drastically and Pawan Kalyan must join the shoot as soon as possible. The team must atleast change the promotional strategy from that moment.

0

Nani is known for doing family entertainers or films that cater to family audiences. He has done boy-next-door roles in films firstly, but recently he is changing the genre with each film. Today, his upcoming film, HIT-3 Teaser, was released on the occasion of his birthday. Made as the third film in the HIT franchise, HIT 3 is on course to become Nani’s 1st ‘A’ Rated Film.

Can Nani Pull of an A Rated Film with HIT 3?

Till now all Nani’s films have been censored with U or U/A, but looking at the teaser of HIT 3, the movie might get an A certificate as it has a high dose of violence. Even the HIT franchise’s last film, HIT 2, was also censored with an A certificate, and that is why there are high chances for HIT 3 to become Nani’s 1st ‘A’ Rated Film.

HIT 3 Teaser is full of Brutal Violence

It would be interesting to see how ‘A’ certificate of Nani film performs at the box office because, generally, his films pull entire family audiences to the theaters. But this A certificate movie can also attract a larger number of mass audiences than the previous movies of Natural Star, which is a plus point. The teaser of HIT-3 is a winner, and it is currently trending in the No. 1 position on YouTube with 15 million views.

Nani totally revamped himself for this film, and the character of Arjun Sarkar is totally different from anything he’s done before. We can observe that the teaser focuses on the wild visuals and action choreography with brutalness.

Indian 3 Back on Track

0

Indian sequel has faced a lot of hurdles right from its first day of shoot. Firstly it was planned as a single part with around 250 Cr budget. But the budget went overboard during filming leading to the film being put on hold and sudden plans for Indian 3 popped up. It was during this time Shankar met Ram Charan and Dil Raju and started Game Changer.

Meanwhile, Kamal Haasan delivered a resounding success in the form of Vikram, and Red Gaint Movies got involved in Indian 2 to bring the project on track.


Indian Sequels : A costly mistake

During the production stage, footage of 5.5 Hours led the team to split the film into Indian 2 and Indian 3. The team planned back-to-back releases of these two within a very minimal gap as only a few days of shooting and a song shoot patchwork were pending.

Indian 2, was released to a disastrous talk and bombed massively at the box office. This led to Shankar focusing only on Game Changer which again emerged as a disaster at the box office.

The makers of Indian 3 were now stuck in a dilemma as the team must complete the project as 80% of the footage was already shot. Due to Shankar’s back-to-back disasters, the makers decided not to spend much budget of the remaining portion and canceled the song. Only some balance shoot parts and patchwork with reasonable making costs are to be done.

Still big hopes for Indian 3

Now Both Kamal Haasan and Shankar are not busy with any films and Indian 3 might go for shoot and release in 2nd half of this year. One Positive sign for Indian 3 is the songs of Indian 3 and the trailer has received a positive response. Kamal Haasan has also stated that Indian 3 is a much better project than its prequel and there will be great storytelling in this film.
