The Most Anticipated KGF 2 Censor And Runtime Details

0

There is no denying that KGF 2 is one of if not the most anticipated movies to come from the Indian film industry. Being a sequel to the blockbuster film KGF, it is being weighed with a lot of expectations from fans and movie lovers across India.

Ahead of its release on April 14th, here are the complete censor and runtime details of KGF 2. The movie has been censored with U/A with Parental Guidance, which means that the film is unrestricted for public view for children over the age of 12. Children under the age of 12 will require parental guidance.

Coming to the runtime of the film, it has been timed at 168 minutes and 6 seconds. This seems like the perfect runtime for an epic film of such a large scale.

There is a lot going right for KGF 2 at the moment. The trailer of the film has broken multiple records across all languages. The theatrical business of the film has also been top-notch in the non-Kannada languages as well. If all goes to plan, the film will surely set a new benchmark. But the question is, will it be able to jump past RRR.

KGF 2 stars Yash, Sanjay Dutt, Raveena Tandon, Srinidhi Shetty, and Archana Jois among others. Prashant Neel is also the director of the film and Hombale Films has bankrolled the project. Ravi Basrur is the music director of the magnum opus.

No Buzz And Craze For Mega Prince Varun Tej’s Ghani

0

Usually, when there is a film release of a Mega hero, there are active promotions for the film and hype is on another level altogether. Mega Prince Varun Tej’s Ghani is releasing on April 8th and contrary to the scenario, there seems to be no buzz and craze for the film.

Ghani has failed to create even minimum buzz and there seems to be no interest for exhibitors and distributors as well. The film needs an overwhelming positive talk to get decent openings from the audiences. The lack of buzz is probably due to the hype surrounding RRR at the moment. Audiences are not bothered about other films at the moment.

With KGF 2 and Beast also around the corner, an April 8th release seems highly risky for Ghani. Going by the lack of promotions for the film, the team is most probably looking to postpone the release to a later date.

Ghani is also Varun Tej’s costliest film to date, which means it needs a strong first week to recover the money spent. Ghani also stars Saiee Manjrekar, Jagapathi Babu, Suniel Shetty, and Upendra in prominent roles. Kiran Korrapati is the director of the film. Thaman S is the music director.

Bloated box office numbers for a Rajamouli film for the first time

0

It looks like the box office figures are bloated for the first time for a Rajamouli film. Rajamouli mocked such kind of incidents earlier saying that he doesn’t like such bloated figures posting on any film’s posters. RRR is performing extremely well in weekdays too in AP/TS but still the team or some section of people who are very close to the main leads of the film feel these numbers are not sufficient to put a margin and are announcing bloated numbers.

They are even forcing distributors to announce the bloated numbers. A GST of 18 % and increasing the daily shares to 10-15 % is happening for RRR and this has also happened for lot of films but this is the first time for a Rajamouli film. Rajamouli who has come up with RRR after his mighty Bahubali success is silent on this issue. It seems it is also inevitable for Rajamouli to stay on focus. That is why he might also be pushing these forward.

Rajamouli has joined hands with two of the biggest stars of Tollywood. So boasting the success has become a routine norm now a days. Rajamouli might also be not a exemption from this.

Alia Bhatt clarifies on issues with RRR team and Rajamouli

The success of RRR has brought great joy and relief to the entire team. The movie is creating record after record in overseas territories as well as domestic ones. While the entire film industry as well as fans are enjoying the RRR mania, some sections of media reported that all is not well between Alia Bhatt and Rajamouli.

According to these reports that surfaced last week, Alia had unfollowed Rajamouli on Instagram and even deleted the RRR photos from her feed. There were multiple unverified reports that the actress was unhappy with the way her role was chopped off in the final cut.

Alia Bhatta earlier today took to Instagram to address these ‘baseless’ reports. She explained that the reason photos were removed was because she likes to keep her feed aligned and less cluttered. The actress reasoned that she always does this after every movie.

Alia’s Instagram feed is mostly filled with personal pics and during film promotions, he uploads promotional posters and event pics. Once the film releases, she usually deletes all the movie-related content.

She stated that the only reason she was even clarifying the topic was that she didn’t want any misinformation or rumours to spoil years of hard work.

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.
