Kannada audience not happy with the RRR release plan in Bangalore

RRR being a pan-India project is scheduled to release across multiple regions in multiple languages. Apart from Telugu, the film will release in Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi versions as well. This would mean a wider reach for the movie and greater collections.

While this is good news for the makers, there is a section of the audience who are not happy with release strategy. The Kannada audience is reportedly unhappy with the RRR release plan in Bangalore.

The local distributors have allocated a majority of screens for the Telugu version. On the other hand the Kannada version has been allocated fewer centers.

Something similar happened in the case of Baahubali 2 back in 2017. During the release of the Prabhas starrer, the Kannada version didn’t get even 5 % screens. The film was released in a majority of Bangalore theatres in Telugu much to the dismay of the local audience.

The local audience feels that in Karnataka, the Kannada version should get the priority. Hence they are unhappy with the fact that their own distributors are ignoring the local language.

Another zero share film for Raj Tarun

Raj Tarun is going through a series of failures at the box office. The young actor even went the OTT way with his last few films Orey Bujjiga, Powerplay, and Anubhavinchu Raja. However, all these three films failed to make any impact.

Now he is back with his latest release Stand Up Rahul. The film was released last week and failed to attract any audience to the theatres. It ended up a huge disaster and has failed to recover the rents from opening day itself.

Varsha Bollamma co-stars opposite Raj Tarun who plays a stand-up comedian in this romantic comedy. Debutant Santo has directed this film while Nandkumar Abbineni and Bharath Maguluri have bankrolled this ‘coming of the age’ story.

Like many other films released in the recent past, Stand Up Rahul also saw multiple delays. The lackluster promotions and cold response to the trailer and teaser further led to disastrous openings and subsequent run during the first weekend. Stand Up Rahul also stars Murali Sharma, Vennela Kishore and Indraja in key roles.

No premieres and 1 AM shows for RRR, First show timing details

RRR starring Jr. NTR and Ram Charan directed by S.S. Rajamouli is about to release this week on 25 March. The film was originally planne to have premieres and midnight shows. But it is now clear that the team has backed out from the plan. The film will have no premieres and 1 AM shows. All the shows in India are about to start only after 4 AM in the morning.

The film made on large scale budget was planned to be released with premieres and midnight shows to draw the attention of the audiences. But all of a sudden these premieres were cancelled. No one knows the actual reason behind this. The team might have thought to lower the expectation.

On the other hand RRR’s advance bookings for the tickets is going on full swing in both AP/TS. But the film is not witnessing good amount of advance bookings in other territories. The Kashmir Files and Bachchan Pandey both receiving a good talk is a disadvantage for RRR in Hindi Market. Kashmir Files is on it’s way to touch 200 crores mark soon and it may even touch the 300 cr mark easily. This might affect RRR in Hindi.

KGF 2 Telugu States Business Ratio Is On Par With Telugu Star Heroes

Ever since the release of KGF Chapter 1 in 2018, there has been a lot of excitement for Part 2 of the film. But the film has been subject to multiple delays as well as hurdles due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

The makers had released the teaser to KGF a year ago and the response was overwhelming. It became very clear, very quickly that Rocky Bhai was back once again and in an even massier avatar. The teaser stands tall at 240M+ views, the highest for any Indian film.

In more fantastic news for the makers, the business of KGF 2 in the Telugu states is being quoted at 60 crores. This is a figure that many actors simply dream of. It is important to mention that this is the business ratio in the Telugu states alone. 60 Crores is on par with the business ratios for many star hero films. It is praiseworthy that Yash has managed to raise the bar of Kannada cinema to such a great extent.

KGF 2 also stars Sanjay Dutt, Raveena Tandon, Srinidhi Shetty, Archana Jois, Prakash Raj, and many others. Prashant Neel is of course helming the project and Hombale Films have produced the movie. The movie is all set for a theatrical release on April 14th, 2022.
