విజయ్ దేవరకొండ నటించిన తాజా చిత్రం లైగర్ గత కొద్ది రోజుల నుంచి తప్పుడు కారణాల వల్ల టాలీవుడ్ లో చర్చనీయాంశమైంది. ఆగస్ట్ 25 న ఈ సినిమా విడుదలైనప్పటి నుండి, లైగర్ సినిమా దారుణమైన ట్రోలింగ్ కు గురైంది. ఈ చిత్రం ఎవరూ ఊహించని విధంగా బాక్సాఫీస్ వద్ద భారీ డిజాస్టర్ గా నిలిచింది. ప్రపంచ వ్యాప్తంగా అన్ని చోట్లా దారుణమైన కలెక్షన్లను నమోదు చేసింది. ఇక ఇప్పుడు ఆ నష్టాలను పూడ్చుకోవాల్సిన పరిస్థితి చిత్ర యూనిట్ పై నెలకొంది.

లైగర్ సినిమా బిజినెస్ తూర్పు గోదావరి ప్రాంతం మినహా మిగిలిన అన్ని ఏరియాలలోనూ రికవరీ ప్రాతిపదికన జరుపుకుంది. తూర్పు గోదావరి వ్యాపారం మాత్రమే ఎన్నారై అంటే నాన్ రిఫండబుల్ ప్రాతిపదికన జరిగింది. లైగర్ సినిమాకు సంబందించి సౌత్ ఇండియా రైట్స్ మొత్తం కొనుక్కున్న డిస్ట్రిబ్యూటర్ వరంగల్ శ్రీను.. ప్రస్తుతం లైగర్ సినిమా వల్ల చాలా నష్టపోయారు.

వరంగల్ శ్రీను డిస్ట్రిబ్యూటర్ గా చేసుకున్న ఒప్పందం ప్రకారం ఆంధ్రప్రదేశ్‌లో 20 కోట్లు పరిహారం ఇవ్వాల్సి ఉంది, కానీ ఆయన ప్రస్తుతం అంత డబ్బుని ఇచ్చే పరిస్థితుల్లో లేరు. ఇప్పటికే ఆచార్య, విరాట పర్వం వంటి సినిమాల వల్ల భారీ నష్టాలు ఎదుర్కొంటున్న తరుణంలో, ఇప్పుడు లైగర్ రూపంలో మరిన్ని తీవ్ర నష్టాలను చవిచూశారు.

పూరి జగన్నాథ్ మరియు ఛార్మీ కౌర్ కూడా ఈ నష్టాలను భర్తీ చేయాల్సి ఉంది. ఎందుకంటే వరంగల్ శ్రీను ఎంత వరకు ఈ భారాన్ని మోస్తారో చూడాలి. కొంత పరిహారం వరంగల్ శ్రీను, మరి కొంత పరిహారం ఛార్మీ కౌర్ కూడా నష్టాలను భర్తీ చేయాలని చాలా మంది డిస్ట్రిబ్యూటర్లు ఎదురుచూపులతో ఉన్నారు. ఎందుకంటే మొత్తం వ్యవహారం ఒకేసారి సెటిల్ చేయాలని.. మునుపటి లాగా ఒక సినిమా నష్టాలను మరో సినిమా ఫలితాల కోసం ఎదురు చూస్తూ ఆ సినిమాల లాభాల కోసం వేచి ఉండకూడదని వారు అనుకుంటున్నారు.

మరి డిస్ట్రిబ్యూటర్ల బాధలోనూ న్యాయం ఉంది కదా. ఎందుకంటే ఏ సినిమా ఖచ్చితంగా హిట్ అవుతుందా లేదా ఫ్లాప్ అవుతుందా అని ఎవరూ ఊహించలేరు. అందుకని ఏ సినిమాకి సంభందించిన సెటిల్మెంట్ ఆ సినిమాతో చేసుకోవడం మంచిదే. మరి డిస్ట్రిబ్యూటర్ల ఆశలు నెరవేరుతాయా లేదా చూడాలి.

Liger Movie Theatrical Losses Compensation To Distributors And Exhibitors Details

0

Vijay Deverakonda’s Liger has been the talk of the town and for all the wrong reasons. Ever since the release on August 25th, Liger has been subject to rigorous trolling and hate. The film also crashed at the box office and posted disastrous collections. As a result of this, there are a lot of losses that need to be compensated for.

Excluding the East Godavari region, all the other areas’ business has been done on a recovery basis. Only East Godavari’s business has been done on an NRA basis. Warangal Srinu, who bought the entire South India rights of Liger is in a lot of loss right now due to Liger.

Warangal Srinu has to compensate 20 crores in Andhra Pradesh according to the distributor deals but he is not in the best of states. He has had back-to-back losses in the form of Acharya, Virata Parvam, and now Liger.

Puri Jagannadha and Charmee Kaur also have to compensate for the losses. It is to be seen how much they pack back Warangal Srinu. There are a lot of distributors who are waiting on Warangal Srinu for some compensation. They also want to settle the amounts right now and not wait for profit deals with other films.

First Day First Show And Ranga Ranga Vaibhavanga Public Review And Talk

0

After the disaster that was Liger, there are now 2 new Telugu movies that have hit the big screens. The first is First Day First Show, which has been written by Jathi Ratnalu fame Anudeep KV and the second is Vaishnav Tej’s romantic comedy Ranga Ranga Vaibhavanga.

Here is the public review and talk from the premiere shows of both films. First Day First Show tried to be a lot of things but ended up as a tedious watch for audiences. The attempt was to create the magic of Jathi Ratnalu but it failed miserably in all aspects.

The audience complained that there was not one scene where they were entertained. Although Anudeep wrote the story, the film was directed by Vamshidar Goud and Lakshminarayana. Jathi Ratnalu had gems in the form of Naveen, Rahul Ramakrishna, and Priyadarsi. First Day First Show failed to showcase any gems.

Ranga Ranga Vaibhavanga was no different either. The movie had a watchable first half and a disastrous 2nd half. The movie failed to impress the audience and is heading toward a disaster.

Overall, both films have failed to make any impact and the buzz is also minimal. With the negative reviews, there are high chances for a washout. Like Chiranjeevi said in the pre-release event for First Day First Show, people will only come to the theatres as long as the content is good.

Vikram’s Cobra 2nd Day Box Office Status And Collections

0

Chiyaan Vikram’s sci-fi drama Cobra was released in theatres on August 31st and opened to great opening day collections at the box office. Due to the decent hype around the movie, the opening day numbers were promising. It was also the second highest for Vikram after Shankar’s I movie.

But after an excellent opening day, Cobra seems to have lost its venom. The collections have plummeted in the Telugu states, with the day 2 collections closing in at 15-20% of the Day 1 collection. Even the Tamil version of the film witnessed a 50-60% drop in collections.

However, the makers are hoping that the film will pick up in the coming days due to the holiday advantage. Since Cobra was released on Wednesday, an average Thursday performance should not be that concerning. Having said that, the film needs to pick up pace today. Otherwise, it will end up becoming a flop at the box office.

The makers have also trimmed 40 minutes of the film by removing some unwanted scenes. They are hoping that this is enough to pull the audiences to the theatres.

Cobra has been directed by Ajay Gnanamuthu and produced by Lalit Kumar. The film also stars Srinidhi Shetty, Irfan Pathan, Mrinalini Ravi, and Roshan Matthew among others. AR Rahman is the music director of the film.

Record Number Of Shows Affected The Occupancies For Jalsa In Many Theatres

0

The recent trend in Tollywood right now is arranging special shows on the occasion of a star’s birthday. Fans of the star come together and organize special screenings of the actor’s most iconic films as a token of appreciation for their favorite star.

While this is completely justifiable, most fans also want their star to be kept in the highest position. It is common knowledge by now that the Pokiri special shows created a huge Hungama, breaking multiple records along the way. The re-release occupied more than 375+ shows and made over 2+crores in gross collections.

Looking at the above stats, Pawan Kalyan fans wanted to go all out to make sure they break this record. Initially, there was a great demand for the tickets, and the shows opened to a positive response from the fans. The shows increased with each passing day and it looked like it was on track to reach 500+ shows.

But now, looking at the occupancy of the Jalsa special shows, they tell us a different story. Shows should always be played as per demand and not to break any record. Due to this, the special shows are playing at 50-60% occupancies affecting the theatre businesses.

Vikrant Rona And Wanted Pandugadu Streaming On OTT

0

Almost every Friday, there is a theatrical release as well as an OTT release. This time is no different as well with two releases on OTT. Both of these films are polar opposites in terms of their content and also polar opposites in terms of scale.

While Vikrant Rona is an action-adventure thriller, Wanted Pandugadu is also an action-thriller but removes all the action and thrill.

Vikrant Rona was released on a massive scale in theatres in Kannada, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu as well as Malayalam. It was shot on a massive budget with exquisite sets. It was the first Kannada movie to release in 3D as well. The movie was mostly well received by the audiences but ended up becoming an average venture for the makers. Vikrant Rona is now finally hitting the OTT route from September 2nd on the ZEE5 OTT platform.

Wanted Pandugadu on the other hand is an over-the-top silly comedy that attempts to be an action thriller. Several of the most notable comedians in Tollywood come together for what was supposed to be a comedy fest but it turned out to be a cringe-fest. It stars Sunil, Srinivas Reddy, Anasuya, Sudheer, and a bunch of others. It is also streaming from 2nd September on Aha Telugu.

Cobra Makers Trimmed A Lot Of Scenes Because Of Audience Talk

0

Chiyaan Vikram’s Cobra was released in theatres on August 31st in theatres and opened to mixed reports and impressive first-day collections at the box office. While the collections were good due to the hype, the word of mouth was mixed due to the runtime of the film.

The audiences felt that 183 minutes was a very lengthy runtime for a sci-fi thriller movie. While Vikram’s performance received a lot of applause, the runtime was the main culprit. In view of this, the makers have decided to adopt some changes to win over the audiences.

The makers have taken a bold decision to cut short the film by about 40 minutes. The movie has been trimmed from 183 minutes to 144 minutes now. After complaints from the audience about unwanted scenes, the makers decided to remove such scenes to make a sharper film.

The trimmed version of Cobra will be screened from today’s evening shows. This is an attempt to bring disinterested audiences back into the theatres. Since the only major complaint was the runtime and some unnecessary scenes, people might come to the theatres to watch Vikram’s magic on the big screen.

Cobra also stars Srinidhi Shetty, Irfan Pathan, Mrinalini Ravi, Roshan Matthew, and KS Ravikumar among others. Ajay Gnanamuthu is the director of the film and AR Rahman is the music director of the film.

While the Telugu theatrical market is slowly picking up, the OTT market is not going anywhere anytime soon. We have seen time and again that both can co-exist together in a healthy environment. Countless films get made every year and not every film can be released in theatres. Those that cannot make it to the big screens make a name on the small screens.

It is exclusively streaming on Aha Telugu.

The second is a more unknown film than the first, Panchatantra Kathulu, written and directed by Ganganamoni Shekar is a 5 story anthology drama tackling the subject of societal issues.
