ET records lowest USA Premieres for Suriya

Suriya’s Etharkkum Thunindhavan stylized as ET released today. Suriya is expecting to bounce back with this film. This will also be the comeback film of Suriya after his recent 2 films, Soorarai Pottru, released as Akasam nee hadduraa and Jai Bhim’s release on OTT. Suriya also had high hopes on this film hoping it to give him the much needed hit. But as per the reviews, the film achieved a negative talk and the opening figures of the film are not good even. This even was proved by the bookings in Tamil Nadu. Now the film is also not performing well in US Market. What surprises is, the film lagged behind all the recent Suriya’s films and is also the lowest performing film at US market for Suriya on the opening day.

Earlier films of Suriya such as 24, NGK, TSK (Gang), Masss (Rakshasudu) Anjaan (Sikinder), Singam 2 and Singam 3 performed better than ET which is really shocking. Some of these films even released way back. 24 registered $157,509, NGK $54,102, TSK $42,517, Masss (Rakshasudu) – $35,794, Anjaan (Sikinder) – $46,525, Singam 2 – 51,956 and Singam 3 $40,563. Now ET registered $19,966.

Suriya after Singam 2 failed to give a big hit. All his films released later didn’t do well at the box-office. 24 somehow managed to do good. His recent two films were released on OTT which surprised everyone. His last theatre release film was Bandobast in 2019. He joined hands with the successful director Pandiraj hoping to bounce back. But it didn’t help him. He must seriously do a rethinking. It’s high time for him. let’s see how his ET fares in the weekend.

RRR celebration Anthem on 14th March

Master Director Rajamouli announced the start of countdown to RRR. RRR is just two weeks away. The most awaited film all over India is releasing on 25th March. He mentioned that count down will kick off from 14th March. But the celebrations among Ram charan and NTR fans are already started with this announcement. The team is releasing a song ‘Ethara Jenda’ on 14th March.

Usually Rajamouli will end the movie with a joyful song and we all know that how magadheera’s end song became super hit after the release. As per Rajamouli’s tweet ‘Ethara Jenda’ is a joyful song that comes at the end of the movie. But RRR team couldn’t hold the excitement and chose the song for kick starting the 10 days count down for the release.

The poster features Ramcharan, Tarak and Alia Bhat look like they dressed up for a dance number. Hope this song will be a instant blockbuster so that the excitement carries till the release. Though the previously released songs got good reviews but failed to become trending chartbusters. The audience know that Rajamouli will use those songs well in the movie so they didn’t get disappoint though they failed to create a mark. Let’s hope ‘Ethara Jenda’ will satisfy the audience and gives the enough mileage.

Can Prabhas create this All time unique record with Radhe Shyam ?

Radhe Shyam starring Prabhas and Pooja Hegde is releasing tomorrow. Andhra Pradesh government on Monday approved a new G.O. on permitting new shows and ticket price hikes. Makers of Radhe Shyam waited for long and even postponed their film’s release for this ticket price hike. Even Telangana government too allowed the 5th show. It looks that Radhe shyam is about to create records. But what one wonders is can Prabhas create this all time and unique record with Radhe Shyam.

Prabhas who once was a regional hero became the country’s sensation over night with the huge success of Bahubali. The hardwork and dedication he put into the film swept the people completely. So much so that he was considered as Bollywood hero now. Prabhas did Sahoo as his next Pan-Indian film after Bahubali. This film was a stylish action drama. Still it managed to gross more than 100 crores alone in Bollywood market which is shocking. Bahubali anyways made even bigger than this.

Prabhas has a record of scoring 100 crores+ openers consecutively with Bahubali 2 and Sahoo worldwide. But the question is can he create the same record again for the third time with Radhe Shyam. If he does this, he will be the only hero to have three 100 crore opener films consecutively. Well this is a major feat. Let’s wait and see what happens.

Pushpa Raj ready to rock small screens on this day

After successful theatrical and OTT releases, Allu Arjun’s Pushpa is now gearing up for its World TV Premiere. The action entertainer will be telecast on Star Maa on 13th March at 6 PM.

Needless to say, this World TV Premiere has got Allu Arjun fans all busy as they now want to establish TRP records as well. Nowadays, a hero’s achievements are measured not just by box-office records, but also by various social media metrics and TRPs.

Pushpa: The Rise was a massive hit if all the versions are to be taken into the record. Coming to Telugu, the movie opened to positive reviews but the AP tickets pricing issue played a dampener in the movie’s victory run.

Pushpa has been one of the biggest stories of recent times. The film has occupied the audience’s mind both online as well as offline. Coming to social media, the chartbuster songs of the film have brought out the creativity of netizens. An uncountable number of interesting videos and Instagram reels are being uploaded every day.

‘Pushpa: The Rise’, is the first of two parts directed by Sukumar released in theatres on December 17 and was widely praised. Mythri Movie Makers bankrolled this project while Devi Sri Prasad composed the film’s music. in association with Muttamsetty Media. Rashmika Mandanna starred opposite Allu Arjun in this action entertainer.

Surya’s ET Box office opening and Audience report

Suriya’s ET Etharkkum Thunindhavan released worldwide today bringing an end to fan’s wish of seeing him on the big screen after 3 years. Priyanka Mohan stars in the lead role in this film and Pandiraj has directed it. Suriya’s last couple of films Soorari Pottru released (Akasam Nee Hadduraa in Telugu) and Jai Bhim released directly on OTT. These films were well appreciated and Suriya’s performance received special acclaim. However, fans now want Suriya to replicate that success on the big screen.

Unfortunately, it looks like the fan’s wishes will remain unfulfilled this time. This action entertainer has failed to create the buzz in all territories and has opened with very low occupancies and mixed word of mouth. Coming to Telugu states, Suriya’s ET has opened below Ajith’s Valimai. In Tamil Nadu, the movie had a poor opening and estimates are in the range of Rs 6Cr gross.

While these numbers could be so low due to the weekday release, we need to wait out and see how the weekend goes for the film. The next 2-3 days are going to be absolutely crucial and would determine the film’s fate.

AP Government playing hide & seek with Radhe Shyam makers ?

Andhra Pradesh government on Monday approved a new G.O. on permitting new shows and ticket price hikes. Makers of Radhe Shyam waited for long and even postponed their film’s release for this ticket price hike. Made on a budget of 100 crores the film is a periodic drama focusing on heavy VFX scenes. Releasing the film with normal reduced ticket prices would have been a big mistake. However with the ticket hike everything seemed to be good now.

An additional Rs 50/- was also allowed with ticket hike price which made the makers even more happy. AP Cinematography minister, Perni Nani has even mentioned this to help big budgeted films like Radhe Shyam and upcoming RRR. But it seems there is still no official confirmation by the goverment regarding this. The makers have even applied for the hike but government remained unresponsive still. Distributors and makers are eagerly waiting for the the official confirmation and permission for the ticket bookings. It looks like the government is playing hide and seek with the makers.

Radhe Shyam is about to release tomorrow yet there are no bookings open in the booking portals. On the other hand Telangana government has just approved a 5th show for the film. There might be an official confirmation by today from AP government.

No early morning show for Radhe Shyam as per new rule by Telangana Government

Radhe Shyam starring Prabhas and Pooja Hegde is about to release on March 11. Made on a budget of around 100 crores the film is about to release in Indian Languages as a Pan-Indian film. This film will also be Prabhas’ third Pan-Indian film after Bahubali and Sahoo. Makers and Prabhas are very much confident about the film’s success. Prabhas has many more upcoming films which are Pan-Indian made. This film’s success will be crucial for him.

Because of the less ticketing prices in AP, the makers felt it is very difficult for the film to achieve a hit status. So they lobbeyed with the Goverment along with many other celebrities who met AP CM Jagan in person and appealed for the price hike. Agreeing to their please, AP government assured them of the high prices hike. However an official confirmation is still pending.

On the other hand Telangana government made an official confirmation allowing a 5th show. But they rejected an early morning show. They allowed a 5th show that can be exhibited during the period only from 10 AM to 1 AM. However no show should be allowed before 10AM. A G.O. has been released to this effect.

Radhe Shyam failed to create buzz in other languages

In just a day’s time, Prabhas’ fans are going to witness their Darling back on screen! Radhe Shyam has been one of the most eagerly awaited Tollywood biggies and the only reason for that is Prabhas himself. His last outing was 2019 action entertainer Saaho. After Saaho, Prabhas surprised many by opting for a romantic film. But, if we go by the trailers, the movie is much more than just a routine love story.

While the anticipation among the fans is quite high, the same can’t be said about the trade circles of other languages. The presentation of the movie’s content and the failure of the makers in creating strong buzz are the main reasons for this.

After Baahubali 2, Saaho was released with great expectations and had a huge opening in all languages. While the film had mixed reviews, it performed brilliantly in Hindi in particular. The film had a sensational start and collected 150Cr in Hindi. The pre-release buzz in Hindi and Saaho mania across the north that was seen back in 2019 is currently missing in the case of Radhe Shyam.

This may be because of the movie’s genre, and the rest of the supporting cast. Apart from Prabhas, the film doesn’t have a single crowd pulling factor. In Telugu, the brand Prabhas is quite strong and his mere presence is enough for people to flock to the theatres. In other languages, the movie needs a strong word of mouth to pull the audience.
