Dasara competition is affecting Balakrishna’s Bhagavanth Kesari more than Leo and Tiger Nageswara Rao

0

Nandamuri Balakrishna’s upcoming film Bhagavanth Kesari is just two weeks away from its release date. It is widely known that the film is getting released on Dasara festival weekend, and it will face clash from Raviteja’s Tiger Nageswara Rao and Thalapathy Vijay’s Leo. Now the film is getting affected by Dasara competition more than its competitors.

In Telugu states, Leo film’s business is 22Cr and Tiger Nageswara business is 32Cr. Both the films business together will be 54Cr and on the other side Bhagavanth Kesari’s business is close to 60Cr. So the business of Bhagavanth Kesari is more than of both the other films combined but the theaters allotment is not happening like that because Leo and Tiger Nageswara Rao distributors are locking the theaters or in some areas even better theaters than Bhagavanth K.

So the competition is having an effect on Bhagavanth Kesari a lot as the theaters shortage is coming for the film while the other films like Leo, Tiger Nageswara Rao do not have any shortage of theaters.

The musical promotions for Balakrishna’s Bhagavanth Kesari have begun recently with the first single, Ganesh Anthem, and the team has also unveiled the second single, the emotional song titled Uyyaalo Uyyaala from the film. The trailer of Bhagavanth Kesari will be released tomorrow.

Balakrishna plays the uncle of Sree Leela in this flick. The film is being produced by Sahu Garapati and Harish Peddi under Shine Screens. Arjun Rampal, the National Award winner, is making his Tollywood debut with Bhagavath Kesari. Kajal Aggarwal is the female lead. On October 19th, Bhagavanth Kesari will be released in theaters.

Boyapati Sreenu accepts Thaman’s mistake but doesn’t acknowledge his own for Skanda

0

Boyapati Sreenu’s latest film, Skanda was released on September 28th and failed to reach the expectations of the audiences and trade as well. While the film has become a big failure at the box office, it also faced severe criticism for its screenplay and routine plot. But the problem is, director Boyapati Sreenu, accepts that the film’s music director Thaman had made a mistake but does not acknowledge his own mistakes in Skanda.

Boyapati srinu himself admitted that Thaman’s music is getting the backslash from the audience. He said that even the people who are close to him said that the music did not work well for the film, and the audience feedback was negative as well. But the issue with Boyapati is that in his latest interview after the film’s release, he is not admitting to the fact that his mistakes are the biggest minus points for the film.

He still feels he did more than 100% for the film and the movie is very much a hit and audience response was positive for the film. Boyapati should respect and understand people’s feedback on him to continue as a successful filmmaker.

A massive criticism that the action director had faced after the release of Skanda is about how he takes the audience for granted. In the name of creative liberty and packing commercial elements, over-exaggeration has been normalized by Boyapati Sreenu. One of the main reasons for Skanda’s negative talk was the way he showcased the Chief Ministers of Telugu states and Police Departments. Even in Akhanda for example, Pragya Jaiswal’s IAS character was a part of some outlandish scenes.

The audience did not accept the silly conflict between two Chief Ministers when coming to Skanda. Furthermore, the way he portrayed Chief Ministers in the film’s climax was too artificial.

Thalapathy Vijay and Lokesh Kanagaraj’s upcoming crazy film, Leo, is all set to become the first Kollywood film to open with over 100 Crores. The film is registering sensational advance bookings in Overseas. The overseas pre bookings are already at the 2M and in Kerala, a record number of fan shows are planned as well with the extraordinary demand for tickets. 

In Overseas the film is expected to open with 5.5M+ gross, which will be more than 45Cr opening and in Kerala, the film is expected to be a record opener and the early estimates stand at 8Cr+ gross and the film is expected to open in the same range in Karnataka as well.

In Telugu States, the trade is expecting a double-digit opening. In Tamil Nadu, if there are early premiers then it definitely will collect in the range of 35Cr range opening for the film. With the help from Rest Of India, the film will have a 100% chances to become the first ever 100Cr+ opener worldwide for a Kollywood film.

The return of the Vijay – Trisha combo after 15 long years is another highlight of the film. The duo last worked together in Kuruvi (2008). Leo is also a second collaboration between Vijay and director Lokesh Kanagaraj after Master. The film further features Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Sarja, Mysskin, Gautam Vasudev Menon, and Sandy in key roles with Anirudh Ravichander composing the tunes. Lalith Kumar has produced the film, Leo, under the banner of Seven Screen Studio.

Akshay Kumar has returned to the big screens after playing Lord Shiva’s messenger in OMG 2. His latest film, Mission Raniganj: The Great Bharat Rescue, in which he portrayed the role of Jaswant Singh Gill, a brave and sincere mining engineer who rescued 65 trapped miners Rani Ganj Coal fields in 1989. But it seems the audience is not interested in watching this rescue-thriller.

The film, Mission Raniganj had an even worse opening than his previous film, Selfie. Selfie had an opening of around 3.2Cr Net, which is the disastrous opening for a star Hero in Bollywood recently. Now Akshay Kumar himself broke this lowest opening with Mission Raniganj as the film’s numbers are even lesser than Selfie. The early estimates for the film’s day 1 are lesser than 3Cr. Though the film opened with good reviews, still the audiences did not turn out to the theaters.

The film was expected to have great expectations, as it was directed by Vashu Bhagnani, who has been one of the most well-known producers of the 1990s, and directed by Tinu Suresh Desai, whose last film was the successful Rustom.

Mission Raniganj is consists of a stellar cast which includes Parineeti Chopra, Kumud Mishra, Pawan Malhotra, Ravi Kishan, Jameel Khan, Dibyendu Bhattacharya, Varun Badola, and many others. Akshay’s last super hit film before OMG 2 was Rohit Shetty’s Sooryavanshi in 2021. Meanwhile, he has released about 8 films, but most of them haven’t had any impact, like Atrangi Re, Cuttputlli, Bell Bottom, Bachchhan Paandey, Raksha Bandhan Ram Setu, Selfie, or Samrat Prithviraj.

0

Prime Minister Narendra Modi applauded the recent Bollywood film ‘The Vaccine War’ for its portrayal of India’s fight against Corona and the role of scientists in it. The film was released last month and failed terribly at the box office.

This project helmed by Vivek Agnihotri was straight-up rejected by the audience as well as critics. The Prime Minister on the other hand had great appreciation for the movie.

I have heard that a film ‘The Vaccine War’ has come. The scientists of our country worked hard day and night to fight COVID-19 in India…All these things have been shown in that film… I congratulate the makers of this film for giving importance to scientists and science by making this film,” said PM Modi.

The Vaccine War starred Nana Patekar, Pallavi Joshi, Raima Sen, Sapthami Gowda, and Anupam Kher in pivotal roles. Much was expected from this project considering the blockbuster performance of Vivek Agnihotri’s last film ‘The Kashmir Files. This medical thriller though left very little positives for the audience and was straight-up rejected

Chiyaan Vikram’s Thangalaan joins Sankranthi Race

0

Chiyaan Vikram’s performance as Aditha Karikalan in Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan: Part 2 won him a lot of praise. Currently, he is working on Thangalaan under the direction of PA Ranjith. There have been rumors about the film’s release date that have come to light recently, and if they are true, Thangalaan’s team is planning to release it on Sankranthi/Pongal 2024.

The film is directed by PA Ranjith as said above. For this film, Vikram went into a complete makeover, and he will be seen in a different avatar. There is a massive buzz about the film. In Tamil already Siva Karthikeyan’s Ayalaan and Rajinikanth’s guest role film Lal Salaam are announced and now Vikram’s Thangalaan film is said to be joining the race.

Thangalaan also stars Malavika Mohanan, Parvathy Thiruvothu and Pasupathy Masilamani in important roles, and the film has music scored by GV Prakash Kumar. Produced by KE Gnanavel’s Studio Green, Thangalaan is being made as a period film that explores the lives of individuals employed in the Kolar goldfields in the eighteenth century.

The film is carrying a massive buzz in Tamil audiences and the trade circles as well because of the director – actor combo and the backdrop. Needless to say, the film will also be released in Telugu. Chiyaan Vikram has gone into a thoroughly different avatar for the film. Let’s hope that his hard work pays off and Thangalaan becomes a super successful venture for all the parties involved.
