The film however achieved a positive talk and started to rule the box office from the day 1 and had a very good weekend. The film collected around 500 crs gross and 285 crs share in its weekend.

0

Bahubali is the face of the Telugu cinema. Not only Telugu cinema, it turned out to be the face of the Indian Cinema. It brought Prabhas an unmatchable craze all over India. Rajamouli became a star director in Indian cinema over night. It is the vision and passion of the master S.S. Rajamouli that made Bahubali.

The success Bahubali achieved was phenomenal and unimaginable. People all over India liked and it shattered all the language barriers of cinema. Then comes Bahubali 2 with high expectations and the master mind Jakkanna mesmerised audience once again. So Bahubali and Bahubali 2 are exceptional in Indian cinema. Bahubali created its own mark and set the standards such that everything became non Bahubali. Non Bahubali records, non Bahubali openings etc. And if anyone can beat that, it should be again SSR.

Everyone thought that Bahubali’s records will be beaten when the master craftsman Rajamouli announced RRR with the two massive stars of Tollywood. With the craze of NTR and Ram Charan, RRR strikes a gold in the openings in Telugu states. But it is SSR duty to pull the audience in other states with the content. Though the film got positive talk all over India, there are some areas RRR has to do so much well in terms of business. Due to over pricing, the film is yet to get break even in some areas.

Baahubali and Baahubali2 are huge blockbusters in all languages/Territories with heavy returns for all the involved parties , Rajamouli has failed to repeat same magic with RRR. In TN , Kerala , Karnataka the film is not achieve the breakven just recovered around 60% of theatrical business. So even these exhibitors are looking hopefully for the film to do well in the coming weekend.

Mishan Impossible movie review: Engaging concept that has its moments

0

Movie: Mishan Impossible
Rating: 2.5/5
Cast: Tapsee, Harsh Roshan, Bhanu Prakash, and Jayatheerta Molugu
Director: Swaroop RSJ
Produced By: Niranjan Reddy, Anvesh Reddy
Release Date: April 1st, 2022

After the release of big-budget RRR and all the buzz and celebrations last week, the audience have a totally contrasting small-budget movie with a low buzz in front of them. Mishan Impossible is directed by Swaroop RSJ, who earlier made his debut with Agent Sai Srinivas Athreya. The quirky trailer has managed to generate some curiosity. But, does this small movie have enough to sustain at the box office? Let’s find out

Story: Mishan Impossible is a story of three kids named Raghupati, Raghava, Rajaram who go by the monicker RRR. RRR set out to capture India’s most wanted criminal Dawood Ibrahim where their paths cross with Sailaja (Tapsee), an investigative journalist. Sailaja is following a series of child trafficking cases and trying to bring light to it. How RRR and Sailaja combine their forces and work together is what the story is about.


Performances: 
The three kids Harsh, Bhanu, and Jayatheertha, playing Raghupati, Raghava and Rajaram have quite a vital part in this film and they have played their roles to perfection. Credit must be given to Swaroop RSJ for extracting great performances from the child actors. Tapsee as Sailaja has got a major chunk of work to do and has done a decent job as an investigative journalist. The rest of the supporting cast including Harsha Vardhan, Rishab Shetty, Suhaas among others have done justice to their characters in whatever limited scope provided.

Analysis: Mishan Impossible is a great concept on paper and has the capability of repeating the success of Agent Sai Srinivas Athreya. The movie definitely has its bright moments, especially in the first half. However, unlike ASSA, the movie begins to lose its grip once we approach the climax. Tapsee’s scenes with the kids are well shot and the investigative parts are decently set up. Once the characters are established and their arc starts to develop the execution starts going sideways and the viewers might lose track of the proceedings due to weak writing


Plus Points:

  • Kids characters
  • Core concept

Minus Points:

  • Second half
  • Weak screenplay
  • Unconvincing narration

Verdict: Mishan Impossible is a film that has all the makings of a good weekend watch. Good characterizations, a unique plot, and a talented cast provide a great start to the movie. However, the film starts losing plot once it starts diving into the actual plot. An OTT release would have been a better option and would have reached a far wider audience.
