Mohanlal reclaims box office throne in Kerala

0

Mollywood Actor Mohanlal scored a mega blockbuster recently with L2: Empuraan. The film also became an Industry hit there grossing more than 250 crores worldwide. Within a short gap of time, his other release, Thudarum, too rocked the box office. The film is still running strong, grossing more than 190 crores worldwide in 15 days. It will also join the 200 crores by tomorrow.

L2: Empuraan, though becoming an Industry Hit worldwide, didn’t establish a record in Kerala. In Kerala, Mohanlal’s previous film, Puli Murugan, held the record of Kerala’s biggest grosser for many years. Baahubali 2 couldn’t break this record, showcasing the stardom of Mohanlal. However, 2018 starring Tovino Thomas crossed Puli Murugan, emerging as highest grosser in Kerala with 90 crores.

L2: Empuraan settled only around with 86 crores gross and failed to beat but Thudarum, as said, looks to beat 2018’s record today and is all set to become Kerala’s highest grosser. Thudarum will also touch the 100 crore mark in Kerala alone creating a record.

Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan Eye Big Bollywood Box Office

Tamil cinema is gearing up for a major Hindi box office push with two massive releases.. Kamal Haasan’s Thug Life, hitting screens on June 5, and Rajinikanth’s Coolie, scheduled for August 14. Both films have generated immense buzz, thanks to their star power and blockbuster combinations, and are already doing impressive business in terms of pre-release deals.

Kollywood has long aimed to crack the Hindi market but has often fallen short, mainly due to the industry’s decision to opt for a 4-week theatrical-to-OTT window. However, Hindi multiplex chains require an 8-week gap before a film can be released on digital platforms. This mismatch has limited Tamil films’ box office potential in the North.

Now, both Thug Life and Coolie are reportedly in talks with OTT platforms to delay the Hindi version’s streaming to meet the 8-week requirement, while keeping the South language releases at 4 weeks as planned. If successful, this move could ensure a wide Hindi release and bigger returns.

However, Coolie will face stiff competition as it shares its release date with War 2, one of Bollywood’s most anticipated action sequels. Despite that, the star power of Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan could turn the tide.

Kingdom Set to Take Mass Jathara Slot

Sithara Entertainments is currently facing scheduling issues, as both of its upcoming biggies Vijay Deverakonda’s ‘Kingdom’ and Mass Mahraj Raviteja’s ‘Mass Jathara’ are facing multiple postponements due to various issues.

Initially, ‘Kingdom’ was all set for a grand release in late March, but later the makers pushed it to May 30. However, with post-production work still underway, sources indicate that the film is likely to be scheduled for a July release. The delay has created a ripple effect for ‘Mass Jathara’, which was originally intended for a Sankranti release before being shifted to July.

With ‘Kingdom’ set to take up the July slot, ‘Mass Jathara’ is expected to be moved back to August or maybe September. This rescheduling is intended to avoid an internal collision between two large projects from the same production studio.

With Kingdom and Hari Hara Veera Mallu both moving away from May 30, all eyes are now on that date. Bhairava, starring Bellamkonda Srinivas, Manchu Manoj, and Nara Rohit, has officially announced May 30th as its release date. With all eyes on these projects, fans are eagerly waiting for confirmed dates. Sithara Entertainments is expected to make formal announcements soon, ensuring strategic spacing for maximum impact at the box office.

Excellent Openings for Single

Sree Vishnu’s latest film, Single, with well-planned promotions has managed to create a decent buzz prior to its release, leading to a promising start at the box office. The film opened to a decent response with the noon shows registering good occupancy levels. Thanks to the unanimous positive reviews from critics and strong word-of-mouth from audiences, the momentum picked up rapidly throughout the day.

Each successive show witnessed a clear growth, with second shows witnessing extraordinary occupancies—more than double that of the noon shows. This growing trend clearly reflects the strong reception and the audience’s interest in the film.

In India, the film has collected a gross of 3 crore, and in overseas markets, it has collected more than 1 crore. With this, the film opened with a gross of over 4 crore, which is a fantastic start

The momentum is expected to continue, with today’s bookings showing even stronger promise than the opening day. With such a positive trend in both domestic and overseas markets, the film is poised for a successful run at the box office.

0

At the age of 65, Malayalam superstar Mohanlal is creating massive records at the box office. With his recent huge hyped sequel, L2: Empuraan, the actor scored many records, and he continues the same with his latest film, Thudarum. Mohanlal achieves a record-breaking feat at 65, with back-to-back 10M USD milestones.

Mohanlal Scores Massive Records with Empuraan and Thudarum

With Empuraan, Mohanlal delivers the first 10M and 15M for Mollywood. The film had a lot of factors, a sequel craze, and a massive scale and budget. So, setting records with these kinds of films is fine, but the same star releasing a normal-budget film within just a one-month gap and setting records is unbelievable.

Mohan Lal did the unthinkable, as Thudarum joined the 10M club and became the 2nd Malayalam film to do so. Mohanlal achieves a record-breaking feat at 65, with back-to-back 10M USD milestones.

In India, Thudarum has crossed the 100 Cr gross mark, which takes the total worldwide gross close to the 190 Cr mark. The film is all set to join the 200 Cr club and become Kerala’s biggest grosser by this weekend. This will be the 3rd 200 Cr grosser for Mollywood after Manjummel Boys and Empuraan.
