A dry weekend for Telugu states theater owners, marking very tough times for them

0

It’s a dry weekend for Telugu states theater owners, as there are no notable releases today, which marks the tough times continue for them. As the Dasara festival weekend is flooded with star films, many small, and low-budget movies have been put into the theaters but no one knows the Hero, Heroine, Director, or anybody’s name in all the films.

Though more than 10 films are releasing in theaters this week, there is not a single notable movie in it. With this, the audience’s eyes fell on the OTT. Accordingly, about 29 films will be streaming this weekend, i.e. Thursday and Friday. This makes it a truly dry weekend for Telugu theaters owners.

In last weekend many small films were released with notable star cast but excluding the film, MAD, all films crashed on the opening day itself. Being a youthful entertainer and receiving positive response, MAD movie is doing decent numbers at the box office.

However, the revenue of MAD movie is very limited, and even this weekend there are no notable releases and the audience has only option for this weekend, MAD movie. So the tough times for theater owners will continue until next as they have good days with three big films getting released.

While excitement around the film has made all the fans go gaga, the latest report reveals the superstar’s massive remuneration for the film. Scroll down to know more.

Ajith is receiving a record remuneration for this much-anticipated project. The maker’s plan is to wrap the entire film budget in 225Cr. Out of the 225Cr budget, Rs160Cr is Ajith’s remuneration. In the remaining 65Cr, the film needs to be completed. If the budget goes as per plan then the producer will be in safe hands as Ajith’s movies can do business in the range of 250Cr+ including all rights.

Super positive news for Salaar team – Rumors on Dunki postponement

0

With the sudden announcement of Salaar’s arrival on December 22, all the Tollywood movies had shifted their release from Christmas as they cannot compete with Salaar. So Salaar will have a solo release in Telugu and Tamil languages as there are no films on Christmas in South India and the movie has solo release. The only competition for the film is in North belts and Overseas due to Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki

Now the latest rumors suggesting that Dunki is likely to be postponed to early 2024 release. If Dunki really gets postponed then Salaar will have a solo release everywhere with the blockbuster holiday period and Sky will be the limit if talks comes positive for the film.

The clash between Salaar and Dunki has probably been the biggest one in Indian cinema in recent times. Prashanth Neel and Prabhas are bringing together the brands KGF and Baahubali on the one hand. Shahrukh Khan and Raj Kumar Hirani, on the other hand, have pioneered 200-600 crore clubs in Bollywood and have produced four industry hits combined. Furthermore, SRK is doing well with two back-to-back movies that grossed 1000 crores this year.

Salaar appears to be gaining a lot from this highly anticipated clash. Movie collections are affected by competition when each film eats into the other’s box office. Competition, on the other hand, also contributes to the creation of a lot of buzz about the movie. It has been observed recently that when stars meet, it can be a source of great publicity. Salaar, which is undoubtedly popular in South India, has experienced the same thing.

Before the December release announcement, Salaar did not have much craze but ever since it made clear that it will compete with mighty King Khan Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki, everywhere the film became a hot topic and now with once again, the news of Dunki getting postponed, it has gained further anticipation.

Venkatesh reportedly has liked the plot and initial discussions have started on it. This project is reportedly a multi-starrer and if everything falls into place, it will star Naga Chaitanya alongside Venkatesh.

Surendar Reddy feels Naga Chaitanya will be the right choice for this project. This is the third time the audience will see Naga Chaitanya and Venkatesh on screen together.

He is currently working with Chandoo Mondeti on an action entertainer. Venkatesh on the other hand has wrapped up Sailesh Kolanu’s which will release for Snakranti 2024. Meanwhile, further details on Surender Reddy project are awaited.

0

Thalapathy Vijay’s Leo is currently the most anticipated film. It is being prepared for a massive release worldwide on October 19. Lokesh Kanagaraj’s directorial is setting records at Overseas even before its release, which is a reflection of the hype it has generated among moviegoers and looking at the current trend, Leo aims to surpass mighty Kabali’s overseas opening records.

Superstar Rajinikanth’s Kabali was the record breaker in Overseas for Kollywood with 6.5M gross on opening day and until date, no movie has been able to break this record. Finally, after 7 years, Leo is aiming to break this record. Currently, the pre-sales are more than 3M+ in Overseas and the movie has high chances to break the record of Kavali.

Vijay is the most popular other language actor in Kerala. In Kerala, his popularity is comparable to that of Malayalam superstars Mammootty and Mohanlal.

Leo received an unprecedented amount of fan shows in Kerala. As of now, the movie has been seen at 450 fan shows. It is the highest among other language movies and the second-highest of all time in the state, only behind Mohanlal’s ‘Marakkar’, which secured 877 shows. Vijay’s films are the only ones on the list of top 5 fan shows for Tamil movies in Kerala, proving his unparalleled stardom in the state.

Four medium budget films clashing without any holidays, is it the right decision?

0

Several films have announced plans to release their films in December after the Election Commission of India announced the Telangana Election schedule. On December 7th, Nani’s Hi Nanna will be released on the screens. The official announcement will be made soon in this regard. Mega Prince Varun Tej’s pan-Indian movie Operation Valentine has been scheduled for December 8th and the team will continue with their release plans.

Nithin’s Extra Ordinary Man is also gearing up for a December 8th release. Nani, Varun Tej, and Nithin are set to compete in their first clash. Another film in this clash is Vishwak Sen’s Gangs of Godavari, which was announced long back for December 8th release, but there are reports that the film has been rescheduled for February 2024 release. 

However, this clash looks unnecessary as there are no holidays and also the period of post Diwali to before Christmas is said to be a very dry period for Telugu Cinema and releasing four films at such a period will definitely affect the films a lot and films with mixed / bad word of mouth will be affected terribly and they cannot even sustain in competition. We need to see what will be the final decision of the makers on the release of the films. 

Nani’s Hi Nanna is a film that is made as an emotional drama, while Varun Tej’s Operation Valentine is an action-packed film, and Nithin’s Extraordinary Man is a film that is catered to the mass audience.

Thalapathy Vijay’s film Leo has been recently approved by the Censor Board, but there were some alterations in the film’s content. Lokesh Kanagaraj is the director of this film, which is included in his ‘Lokesh Cinematic Universe’. Leo has been certified U/A by the Central Board of Film Certification, which is scheduled to be released on October 19. According to reports, the Board has ordered 13 modifications to the film, including removing swear words that were used in the film. The film is also said to have violence, gore, and sexual threat elements as per the CBFC Report.

Leo’s Censor Certificate had spread like wildfire on X (formerly known as Twitter), and it showed the 13 modifications that Lokesh Kanagaraj had been requested to make by the CBFC. The board has requested that the team mute the swear words along with improving the violent scenes in the film. The changes and cuts resulted in Leo having a run time of 164 minutes (2 hours 44 minutes).

The distributors are opting for multiple censor cuts to make the film suitable for family audiences because they cannot enjoy a film that has an excessive amount of gore and violence. Even In trailer also, we can observe there was a bad word that was removed later.

This action thriller features Trisha Krishnan, Arjun Sarja, Gautham Menon, Mysskin, and Priya Anand in crucial roles. Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt is also in the film.
