Sekhar Kammula’s Kuberaa had a terrific 1st weekend at the box office. The trade is awed by it as Kuberaa sets the box office on fire.

In all three days of opening weekend, the film has collected a double-digit gross in Telugu States, which is a sensational feat.

Kuberaa Superb Performance at the USA Box Office

In the USA alone the weekend collection is around 1.6M, and overseas gross exceeds 2.5M. The movie does good numbers in Karnataka as well.

As far as Tamil Nadu is concerned, the film had a decent week and Sunday is the best day for the film, which is a positive sign.

Sekhar Kammula’s Kuberaa sets the box office on fire, but Kerala’s numbers are disappointing, and the Hindi version also did not add any collections.

Overall, the film had a superb 1st weekend in theaters with around 80 Cr gross collection worldwide.

The Telugu version recovered 2/3 of theatrical rights, whereas in Tamil Nadu the film recovered only 40% for the weekend.

So to achieve breakeven, a strong weekday hold is needed in Tamil Nadu for the film, while in Telugu territories a decent hold will be good.

0

Ajith’s Good Bad Ugly is the Tamil debut of Telugu production house Mythri Movie Makers. Reportedly, Mythri was also bankrolling the star’s next. But the latest reports suggest that Mythri Movies is not backing Ajith’s next mega-budget film.

GBU is a box office success, and it is also the biggest career grosser for Ajith. So, everyone expected that the same combination would be repeated for Ak’s next film. But the Mankatha actor will work with Adhik, but not under Mythri Movies.

The movie’s production is said to be handled by Vels Production, and it will be made on a budget of 300 crore. The remuneration of Ajith Kumar will be more than half of the budget.

So, it is confirmed that Mythri Movies is not backing Ajith’s next mega-budget film, and it will go on floors this year in October, targeting a summer 2026 release.

Telugu Box Office Outlook Weak for Jana Nayakudu

0

Thalapathy Vijay has created a promising market in Telugu, and his films have consistently done well in recent years. But his last film, Jana Nayakudu prospects at the Telugu Box Office are looking weak.

The main reason for the low hype for Jana Nayagan in Telugu is that the film is a remake of Bhagavanth Kesari. Naturally, an audience will not be interested in watching the Telugu remake of a Tamil-dubbed film.

The team and the close circles say that the film is not a complete remake, and they have just taken the basic plot and a few scenes. But, still, Telugu audiences might not get excited for this film due to the remake factor.

Also, director H. Vinoth does not have any brand in Telugu audiences. The promotional content of the film, including today’s glimpse, did not work with Telugu audiences, and the film is releasing for Sannkranthi.

For Sankranthi, Chiranjeevi, Raviteja Film, and Sharwanand have lined up films, and there might be one more biggie ready to join the list. So, it will be tough for Thalapathy Vijay’s film to compete with them.

That is why Vijay’s Jana Nayakudu’s prospects at the Telugu box office are looking weak. So, the team needs to put in massive efforts to create the required buzz in Telugu.

Everyone knows that Jana Nayagan is the last film of Vijay, and this sentiment factor will work only in Tamil and not in Telugu.

Kannappa, the mythological movie and the dream project of Manchu Vishnu, is all set to arrive in theaters in another 5 days. The reports of the film having a lengthy runtime raised concerns, but it is being said that Kannappa has adopted Kuberaa’s censor approach.

Sekhar Kammula’s Kuberaa, starring Dhanush and Nagarjuna, was released in theaters this Friday, and it is having a superb weekend at the box office. Before release, it was reported in the censor report that the social drama/thriller had 195 minutes of runtime.

Everyone was shocked after learning such a huge length, and then the makers said that they did not want any last-minute censor hurdles, and that is why they had to send the full content to the censor and trimmed the final version afterward.

Kuberaa, a movie trimmed by 14 minutes, has a final runtime of 181 minutes. Now, Manchu Vishnu’s Kannappa adopts Kuberaa’s censor approach. 

Kannappa Movie: Huge Star Cast and Huge Runtime as well

Recently, the censor report of Kannappa was out, and everyone was surprised to see a 195-minute and 2-second runtime. But the news is that it is not the final runtime.

According to the reports, the producers have set the final runtime of the film at around 3 hours. The buzz around Kannappa has risen to a good level in recent days, and the film is expected to open with good numbers at the box office this Friday.

8 Vasantalu Box Office Disaster – Release Date Backfires

0

Phanindra Narsetti’s 8 Vasantalu, starring Ananthika Sanilkumar as the lead, created a decent buzz before the release. The makers promoted the film very well, but unfortunately, 8 Vasantalu becomes a box office disaster, as the release date backfires.

After two promising teasers, the film’s trailer cut spoiled the buzz, as the viewers felt it was too preachy of a movie, and also the release timing affected the film a lot.

8 Vasantalu gets mixed WOM and becomes a disaster at the box office

Mythri Movies’ 8 Vasanthalu released in theaters along with Kuberaa, and the latter has more buzz, and it opens with positive WOM, whereas the Phanindra Narsetti directorial opens with mixed WOM.

Because of the weak response, the film even failed to see minimum occupancies at the theaters. The good thing is, a section of the audience liked the film’s music and dialogues and gave good reviews.

Ananthika Sanilkumar’s 8 Vasantalu becomes a box office disaster, as the release date backfires. Everyone feels that if this romantic drama had been released on some other date, it could have gathered at least notable numbers.
