Suriya’s Etharkkum Thunindhavan (ET) was released earlier this month to mixed reviews and decent openings. The Kollywood star pinned a lot of hopes on this project and hoped to make a roaring comeback to the big screens this time.

His last couple of films Soorari Pottru (Akasam Nee Hadduraa in Telugu) and Jai Bhim released directly on OTT. These films were well appreciated and Suriya’s performance received special acclaim. The release of ET in theatres filled fans with great anticipation and excitement. However, it looks like fans desire to see a big-screen success will have to wait.

After a decent opening weekend in TN, the film witnessed huge drop on weekdays. So looking at the numbers ET registered another flop at the box office for the actor. In other territories apart from TN, ET didn’t open well and saw huge drops in collections post opening weekend leaving Suriya fans disappointed

The film is now set for its OTT release. Suriya’s ET will now release on Netflix on April 7th. Pandiraj has directed this action thriller and Sun Pictures have bankrolled this ambitious project. Priyanka Arul Mohan featured opposite Suriya in this film

0

Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan’s Acharya has been subject to not one but many hurdles during the entire process. From multiple shoot delays due to COVID-19 to reshoots due to unsatisfactory scenes. The film has seen it all. The movie was also scheduled to release a lot earlier but was pushed due to COVID-19.

The makers have also been constantly confused regarding whether Acharya is a regional film or a Pan-Indian film. Chiranjeevi has also spoken about this confusion in the past. The film was originally planned for a Pan-Indian release but the makers decided to opt for a regional release itself.

After a while, the makers again opted for a Pan-Indian release, creating confusion among the fans. Now, the makers have again changed their minds and are portraying Acharya as a regional film. They are targeting only a Telugu release in the present situation.

This has come as a surprise as Ram Charan is currently in hot form, fresh off RRR’s success. It would have been smart to bank off of the success of his craze from RRR. The makers have also not started promotions for the film with only a month left for release. They need to start soon as there are multiple biggies lined up for release in the month of April.

This is currently a hot topic in the film industry. One section of the people are saying that KGF 2 will easily do 100 crores share as the buzz is sky-high. Whereas the other section believes that the distributors are taking a huge risk by valuing the theatrical business so high.

People are saying that the film will not recover such a huge amount as families are not interested in the film. It is to be seen which section of the people will prove right.

KGF 2 is backed by a stellar cast of Yash, Sanjay Dutt, and Raveena Tandon in lead roles. The film also stars Prakash Raj, Archana Jois, and Srinidhi Shetty in important roles.

Hindi, Telugu, Tamil are the three biggest markets in Indian cinema. These three industries contribute the maximum in terms of collections. Despite a bunch of pan-India movies releasing of late, there are very few that managed to breach and succeed in all three. Rajamouli’s Baahubali 2 and Shankar’s 2.0 are the only two films that have collected Rs 100 crores gross in all three markets.
