South Indian films had a great time at the box office and made massive noise at the worldwide box office. While Bollywood has been struggling to score big, south Indian films have created record upon record and have sent the cash counters busy. Four films have joined the exclusive Rs 400 crore club this year.

From Tollywood RRR, From Sandalwood KGF2, From Kollywood Vikram and Ponniyin Selvan have joined this club. Surprisingly there is only one film from Bollywood this year in this club – Brahmastra. South Indian movies are ahead of Bollywood now and dominating the Indian box office.

Ranbir Kapoor’s Brahmastra was released last month and has done decent business so far. The much-hyped Bollywood fantasy adventure film was well appreciated for its VFX and production values. While the film got mixed reviews, its box office opening created several records.

Each and every industry is shining now but Bollywood is still struggling to revive itself even with its superstar films. Interestingly, the movies of smaller stars like Varun Dhawan( Jug Jug Jiyo) and Kartik Aryan (Bhool Bhulaiyya 2) made good numbers at the box office.

However, superstar movies like Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha and Akshay Kumar’s Raksha Bandhan failed massively. This year has been a great one for Tollywood with several blockbusters like RRR, Sita Ramam, Karthikeya 2, and DJ Tillu among many others.

0

Prabhas, the biggest superstar of Indian cinema, has recently completed 20 years in the film industry. He made his debut as the protagonist in Jayanth C Paranjee’s film Eeshwar and the rest is just history. He has grown beyond everyone’s expectations and risen to a pan-Indian star today, which none would have imagined and believed when he entered the industry.

With Baahubali’s massive success, Prabhas did get worldwide recognition and popularity. However, it isn’t completely fair to solely credit Prabhas’ popularity to just this one film as he was already a superstar in making in the Telugu Film Industry. Fondly called Darling, his movies like Billa, Mr. Perfect, and Mirchi made records at the box office and fans went gaga over them.

But after the humongous success of the Bahubali series, Prabhas hasn’t been able to impress the audience with his movies or career planning. The audience is complaining that Prabhas is picking the wrong scripts. For every movie, he also tries to get that Hindi and Pan India look which is not possible with every movie.

Prabhas has back 2 back disasters with Saaho and Radhe Shyam, Saaho managed to put in good numbers but Radhe Shyam has failed miserably at Box Office.

Prabhas is now going to release 3 films in 2023 expectedly, it will be very rare for any star hero in these times to release 3 films in a year. Adipurush is slated for Sankranthi release, Salaar movie is planned for a summer release and Maruthi film is expected to release in the last quarter of 2023. With these 3 movies, Prabhas needs to prove himself at the box office by delivering back 2 back superhits and claiming his stardom.

After these 3 movies, Prabhas has another mammoth project which would be made by the director Nag Ashwin and produced by the star producer Ashwini Dutt.

Controversies and criticisms have been coming around the movie ‘Adipurush’ for a few days. The teaser of this mythological film starring young rebel star Prabhas was released recently. Netizens have trolled extensively saying that the VFX works are very bad. On the other hand, there are complaints that this movie has hurt the sentiments of Hindus.

There was a trend on social media to ban this movie by expressing objections to Adipurush. In this order, news came that some people have gone to the Delhi High Court.. and after investigating this, notices have been issued to Prabhas and the makers.

Legal notice for criminal action has been sent out to the Film “Adipurush” producer and artists against hurting the spiritual sentiments of Hindus. The legal notice has been sent by High Court advocate Ashish Rai on behalf of the National Cine Worker Union (NCWU).

The legal notice has been sent to filmmaker Om Raut, Bhushan Kumar T-Series, actor Saif Ali Khan, actor Prabhas, and actress Kriti Sanon. Under the notice, it is mentioned that the Hindu religion has been insulted by the producers and artists.

This should be considered a serious problem for the film. The team has not responded yet regarding the legal notice.

Although the teaser that was recently released on YouTube got a mixed response, the 3D teaser that was screened in theaters got a great response. However, there are objections raised about the portrayal of the roles of Rama – Hanuman – Ravana.

AdiPurush is all set to release on January 12 as a gift for Sankranthi. Until then, let’s wait and see if all the controversies surrounding the movie will settle down.

The sports action drama starred Ananya Pandey and Ramya Krishnan in key roles. Karan Johar and Puri jointly produced the film. This much anticipated pan-India project was released in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Hindi as well as in Malayalam. 

Vijay Deverakonda is no.1 in tier2 Heros without any doubt. And this fact was proved yet again by Liger openings. As earlier mentioned by many, the only problem with Vijay is his off-screen speeches which put a heavy burden on him. During Liger’s promotions as well he made several over-the-top statements and showcased a careless attitude.

However, all that looks like a thing of the past. Vijay’s recent speech at SIIMA showcased the kind of maturity he has developed and his passionate talk about movies and his efforts won several hearts. Fans and movie lovers found his mature and passionate speech quite heartwarming. This change of behaviour has been quite a pleasant surprise for all.
