Thug Life’s failure has no impact on Coolie

0

Thug Life starring Kamal Haasan released recently and became a box office bomb. The film had great expectations before its release, but it faltered significantly. Usually, such underperformance of biggies will surely impact the hype surrounding other biggies and their business as well. Now, with this theory, all eyes are on Coolie starring Rajinikanth.

Coolie is also having great amount of hype and expectations. Now, with the dangerous result of Thug Life which also showed the same hype, Coolie’s business may have a slight impact in Tamil Nadu. But in Telugu States, Distributors are lining up to acquire the rights. It is also likely to close around 45 crores which is a sensational price.

The deal will also be closed very soon. For breakeven, Coolie may have to collect more than 80 crores gross in Telugu States which could be a cake walk. There is an equal buzz for Coolie in Telugu States and the trade analysts expect it to collect a 100 crore gross easily in Telugu States.

0

Two years ago, a big pan-Indian mythological film was announced in the Allu Arjun-Trivikram combination. The fans and even normal audiences are eager to know more details about the film, but the sad news is that this big project is shelved, as Allu Arjun upsets Trivikram.

After the announcement of #AATrivi4, Trivi gave an average with Guntur Kaaram, but the film received bad reviews from the audiences and critics, while the icon star released Pushpa 2, which became a massive blockbuster.

Allu Arjun – Trivikram’s Project faces issues after Pushpa 2

Even after that, it was said that the Pushpa actor will do his next with Trivikram only, and the writer-director spent a lot of time on script and pre-production work for the film. However, things changed after Pushpa-2’s release and success.

Allu Arjun picks Atlee over Trivikram

Allu Arjun locked the film with Atlee, which is a mega-budget project by international standards. Even then, there was a discussion that both films would progress in parallel, and it was even officially announced.

The latest sad news is that this big project is shelved, as Allu Arjun upsets Trivikram. Reportedly, the actor is said to have informed Trivikram that he will make a decision on the film after Atlee’s film releases.

Trivikram to do films with Venkatesh, Ram Charan, NTR, and Ram

This is said to have hurt Trivikram, and he is moving on to other stars. His next film is locked with Venkatesh, and a film with Ram Charan is also confirmed.

Now, the latest reports suggest that Trivi is in discussions for a film with NTR as well. In between, if there is any slot, a film with Ram is also in the pipeline.

So the big project of AA—Trivi is shelved for now, and Trivikram now wants to do continuous films without any break.

Prabhas Factor Driving Kannappa Trade

0

After multiple postponements, Manchu Vishnu’s Kannappa finally locked 27th June as the release date, and the movie team is aggressively promoting the film. Apart from the genre, the Prabhas factor is driving the Kannappa trade.

In recent days, even big movies are facing issues in locking business deals. Even if the producers ask for an advance basis, the distributors do not agree. But for Kannappa, the distributors are locked.

Mythri Movies will distribute the film in big territories like Nizam, Ceeded, and UA, while the other areas will also be handled by top distributors. The film is releasing on an advance basis, which means all the risk is on Manchu Vishnu.

Prabhas drives Kannappa’s Business

The main reason for distributors giving advances to the film is undoubtedly one reason. Prabhas’s factor is driving Manchu Vishnu’s Kannappa trade.

The distributors believe that Prabhas’s screen presence will definitely bring audiences to theaters. With this confidence, the distributors are also very interested, and they are getting good offers from exhibitors too. 

Meanwhile, the film’s trailer is likely to be released soon, and it plays a crucial role in generating the required buzz among audiences.

0

The much-awaited Akhanda 2 teaser was released yesterday and received a great response. The Balakrishna-Boyapati combination again took the audience to the Akhanda trance with the teaser. However, everyone feels Thaman’s music is overloaded in the Akhanda 2 teaser.

Thaman’s BGM played a crucial role in the success of the first part of Akhanda. Audiences unanimously responded positively, as everyone felt it elevated the film to a new level.

Thaman Background Music Overload in Akhanda 2 teaser

So, naturally, there were very high expectations for Music for Akhanda’s sequel. But the BGM in the teaser receives a mixed response, as everyone feels Thaman’s music is overloaded in Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2 teaser.

Netizens felt that Thaman’s background score goes overboard and is very loud, and as a result the lyrics/dialogues are not audible. Of course, there is a section of people who feel that this film needs such BGM, and they say it will work massively in theaters.

Fans have high hopes for Akhanda 2 BGM

We need to wait and see how the background score of Thaman works in the movie. But there is one thing: Thaman has never disappointed BGM-wise for Balakrishna’s films. He always plays a big role in Balakrishna’s recent success streak.

So, the same is expected from Akhanda 2 as well, and Thaman’s music plays a very big role in this movie’s result too.

Thudarum’s Final Collections: A Sensational Box Office Blockbuster

In a year characterized by high-budget expectations, Thudarum, a modest Malayalam film, stole the show with an unexpected and historic box office success. While all eyes were on Mohanlal s Empuraan to make a splash, but his Thudarum quietly emerged as a hit, defying industry expectations and becoming a watershed moment for Mollywood and Indian cinema in general.

Thudarum, a small budget movie, achieved astounding figures, finishing its theatrical run with a staggering international gross collection of ₹232 crore. In Kerala, the movie grossed ₹119 crore and earned ₹50 crore in share, making it the first Malayalam film to reach both ₹100 crore and ₹50 crore domestically.

The film’s overseas performance was equally impressive, collecting $11 million (approximately ₹93.5 crore), making it the second Malayalam film after Empuraan to cross the $10 million mark internationally. The Rest of India (ROI) market also contributed a solid ₹19.5 crore.

With this massive success, Thudarum now stands as the third highest-grossing movie in Malayalam after Empuraan and Manjummel Boys, marking a new milestone in the rise of Malayalam cinema on the global stage.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu Needs Trailer

0

Hari Hara Veera Mallu—Part 1: Sword vs. Spirit, starring Pawan Kalyan and directed by Jyoti Krishna/Krish, is facing numerous issues right now. Hari Hara Veera Mallu needs a trailer to start the positive vibes.

As everyone knows, this Pan Indian film, produced by AM Ratnam, was postponed from 12th June and right now, there are not many release dates available for the film as there are many big and medium films are lined up for theatrical release.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu Trailer has to work as the Songs didn’t click

The biggest mistake from the HHVM team is that they have released songs continuously by putting the trailer on hold. The songs didn’t help in building the craze and financial issues led to the film’s postponement.

Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu needs a trailer to start the positive vibes. If the team releases a proper and exciting trailer and if it clicks, it can create the required buzz among the trade and audiences.

A Solid Trailer can help Hari Hara Veera Malllu resolve its issues

That momentum can help resolve issues through business deals. Merely struggling with the release date won’t solve anything — the film needs to create strong excitement first, only then will everything fall into place.

Available Release Dates for Hari Hara Veera Mallu

0

Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu—Part 1: Sword vs. Spirit was postponed from 12th June due to financial issues, and now the team is trying to find a new date. It looks like there are not many release dates available for Hari Hara Veera Mallu.

If we look at the upcoming schedule of other noted films, on 20th June Kuberaa, 27th June Kannappa, 4th July Thammudu, 11th July Ghaati, 25th July Kingdom, 14th August War 2 and Coolie, 27th August Mass Jathara, and at the last, Mirai arrives on 5th September.

Not many Release Dates are available for Hari Hara Veera Mallu

If we look at this packed schedule, Pawan and AM Ratnam’s pan-Indian film has only one slot, i.e., 18th July, and another one is 1st August. But these two dates have just a week gap from Vijay Deverakonda’s Kingdom.

Also, if producer Ratnam and team try to release the film on August 8th or August 22nd, then it will be a big and wrong choice, as it will have only a one-week gap from 2 biggies: War 2 and Coolie.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu has to find a proper release date and should release some exciting promotional content

So, there are not many release dates available for Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu, and his other film, OG, has been announced for 25th September. So, the August release is a bad choice for the film’s business as well.

At any cost, Hari Hara Veera Mallu—Part 1: Sword vs. Spirit has to be released on 18th July, or it can even arrive before, but it will have to go with competition releases. Then only it will have a good gap with OG’s release.

Another important thing for AM Ratnam and the team is that they have to release some exciting visual content to create buzz among audiences.
