Nizam Box office: Amaran, KA and Lucky Baskhar

Diwali is one of the most important seasons for cinema in India, drawing large audiences who celebrate the holiday with family outings to theaters. This festive period often marks a major box office showdown, with top films vying for audience attention and box office success. This Diwali, several much-anticipated films created a buzz in the Nizam region, each performing distinctly based on genre, show count, and competition.

Amaran, an action-packed thriller, stood out with extraordinary success, collecting a share of Rs. 3.6 crore over the weekend. This remarkable figure translates to a 200% recovery, well surpassing expectations for its business valuation.

Another notable release, KA, a regional favorite, earned Rs. 2.9 crore in Nizam. While it achieved its breakeven target, limited show counts impacted its potential. Industry experts speculate that KA could have reached Amaran’s level if it had additional screenings in Hyderabad, particularly as it faced competition from Bagheera on its opening day, followed by Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 later in the weekend.

Meanwhile, Lucky Bhaskar, a family-oriented drama, garnered a decent Rs. 4.45 crore share in Nizam. Typically, such films achieve exceptional numbers in this region, yet Lucky Bhaskar underperformed slightly, likely due to the crowded slate. To hit its Rs. 8 crore breakeven mark, it will need consistent weekday hold.

Kanguva USA advances Disappoints

The upcoming film Kanguva, starring Suriya, is one of the most eagerly anticipated releases of November, with expectations set high for an impressive box-office debut. However, despite this excitement, the film’s advance bookings in the USA are showing a surprisingly slow start.

Bookings have been open for a few days, but the film has so far garnered only around 60k in gross pre-sales—a figure that falls short of the expected numbers, especially with only ten days remaining before its premiere. This indicates an underwhelming trend in the overseas market, and the film will need a significant boost in momentum to reach the desired box-office success.

The release trailer, expected to drop today or tomorrow, is anticipated to play a crucial role in attracting more attention and driving bookings in the USA as well as in India. The film’s genre, which leans toward action and historical drama, typically appeals to a broad audience.

However, Suriya’s recent career trajectory could be a contributing factor to the lukewarm response. His last major commercial hit was Singham 2, nearly a decade ago, and director Siva’s previous film, Annathe, faced criticism and did not perform well at the box office.

Kanguva still holds strong prospects of trending better in India, where Suriya’s fan base is substantial. If the release trailer generates the right kind of buzz, it could drive up advance bookings in both domestic and international markets, giving Kanguva the momentum it needs for a successful release.

Diwali weekend Box office: Amaran, KA and Lucky Baskhar

The Diwali weekend brought a festive boost to the box office, with several films making waves across various regions and turning in impressive numbers.

Amaran, starring Siva Karthikeyan and Sai Pallavi, emerged as a top performer this weekend. The film recorded a phenomenal gross of approximately 140 crore worldwide, marking the highest-ever grosser for Siva Karthikeyan. Thanks to the strong holiday turnout, Amaran has already crossed its break-even point and is now on track to becoming a blockbuster. This success highlights the film’s popularity and appeal across all territories, setting a new milestone in the actor’s career.

KA Movie had an equally strong Diwali debut, earning around 19 crore gross worldwide during its first weekend. The film has almost reached break-even status in all its release regions, which sets the stage for weekday collections to determine how far it can go. With plans to launch in other languages this coming weekend, KA Movie’s earnings are expected to receive a further boost, giving it a wider audience and additional momentum at the box office.

Meanwhile, Lucky Bhaskar had a good weekend, performing decently in the Telugu-speaking regions but showing sensational success in other areas. The movie saw excellent collections in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and the Gulf, leading to a first-weekend total of approximately 45 crore. Although the film’s reception in Telugu states was moderate, its exceptional performance elsewhere helped boost its overall revenue. However, for it to attain solid box office status, it needs strong weekday collections, especially in Telugu regions where distributors are yet to recoup their investments.

Pushpa 2 USA Advance Sales Soar

The current trend of gauging a film’s popularity based on USA advance bookings is taking the Indian film industry by storm. With major releases like Devara, Salaar, and Kalki 2898 AD already showcasing impressive numbers in pre-sales, Kalki 2898 AD has even managed to break the record set by RRR for premiere bookings, setting new benchmarks.

Now, all eyes are on Pushpa 2, as its advance bookings opened just two days ago and have already crossed the remarkable $250K mark. With nearly a month left for the film’s premiere, these early numbers are already generating massive excitement. Pushpa 2 will premiere in multiple languages to cater to its diverse audience base.

Currently, the majority of pre-bookings are coming from the Telugu market, though it’s anticipated that other languages will gain momentum as the premiere date draws closer. Given the film’s enormous pan-Indian appeal, trade experts are optimistic, predicting Pushpa 2 could achieve an unprecedented $5 million in premiere sales alone.


If this milestone is reached, Pushpa 2 will become the first Indian film to break the $4 million threshold for USA premieres, setting a new standard in international demand for Indian cinema. The anticipation surrounding this release suggests that Pushpa 2 is poised to redefine success for Indian films abroad, particularly in the USA market.

Dilraju admits his Failure

Tollywood producer Dil Raju, known for his remarkable journey in Telugu cinema, has built an impressive track record with a mix of small and mid-range films that evolved into blockbuster successes. Starting from humble beginnings, Dil Raju achieved one milestone after another, producing or distributing numerous popular films. His eye for quality storytelling made him one of the most respected producers in the industry.

However, Dil Raju honestly said that he feels he has “lost track” in Lucky Baskhar’s success meet, and he also mentioned his recent flops. His comments have sparked discussions within the industry, with many reflecting on his early days of backing small yet impactful films that resonated deeply with audiences. Dil Raju expressed admiration for producer Naga Vamsi, who has managed to maintain his streak with a strategic balance of films despite industry challenges. Nagavamsi’s recent hit Lucky Bhaskar has bolstered his reputation, and he’s now producing the highly anticipated Game Changer, starring global star Ram Charan and directed by Shankar, a collaboration under Dil Raju’s banner.

Dil Raju’s honest statement reveals the challenges of staying relevant in a rapidly changing industry where audience expectations and market dynamics shift continuously.With Game Changer on the horizon, many hope it will mark another turning point for Dil Raju, reaffirming his legacy as a powerhouse in Telugu cinema.

Bollywood Box office: Exaggerated Numbers and Bulk Bookings

In recent years, Bollywood has faced increasing scrutiny over its box office reporting practices. Traditionally, Bollywood prided itself on transparency, often criticizing South Indian cinema for allegedly inflating box office figures to amplify a film’s success. However, recent trends suggest that Bollywood is now adopting similar tactics, with reported box office collections often surpassing actual figures by significant margins.

A common strategy to build hype includes large-scale corporate bookings, particularly for films starring Bollywood’s top actors. These bulk ticket purchases can artificially boost the numbers and, in turn, the perceived popularity of a star.

This practice, which some view as manipulating “heroic” stature, has become increasingly visible with the recent Diwali releases, Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. Now many Bollywood makers are doing both tactics Corporate Bookings and as well as Exagerrating the numbers.

While both Diwali films are genuinely performing well, there are reports from industry insiders and Bollywood box office portals indicating a 20-25% disparity between actual collections and officially reported figures.This widening gap has led to skepticism among trade analysts and fans alike. Many argue that such exaggerations might boost a film’s image in the short term, but risk eroding trust in the industry over time.

As Bollywood navigates a competitive cinematic landscape, especially with South Indian cinema expanding its reach, the pressure to demonstrate “box office stamina” remains high. However, whether this shift benefits Bollywood’s image in the long run remains to be seen.

Amaran: Siva karthikeyan’s biggest grosser in 4 days

Siva Karthikeyan’s latest release, Amaran, has taken the box office by storm, showing strong growth with each passing day. On its third day, the film managed to surpass its opening-day collections, marking a gross of 106 crore in just three days. This phenomenal success makes Amaran, Siva Karthikeyan’s third film to cross the 100-crore mark, following the footsteps of his previous hits, Doctor and Don.

Today, Amaran is expected to surpass the lifetime collections of Don, which had previously been Siva Karthikeyan’s highest-grossing film with a record-breaking 120 crore gross. By the end of the day, Amaran is estimated to reach  135 crore, setting new benchmarks in Siva’s career. Given its current momentum, the film has full potential to join the prestigious 200-crore club.

The film has the potential to break box office records if it collects consistently this weekend. Siva Karthikeya’s ability to draw massive crowds and deliver back-to-back hits has placed him in a league of his own. With his next collaboration set with acclaimed director A.R. Murugadoss, expectations are already high, and many are anticipating an even bigger success.

Lucky Bhaskar: 100 Cr possibility?

Lucky Bhaskar, starring Dulquer Salmaan, initially seemed poised for an easy ₹100 crore milestone given its star-studded cast, favorable Diwali release, and widespread positive reviews. However, the film has been underperforming in the Telugu market, possibly due to stiff competition from other releases like Amaran and KA.This competition appears to be limiting its box office performance in the Telugu-speaking regions, where a stronger opening was expected.

In contrast, Lucky Bhaskar has resonated exceptionally well with Malayalam and Tamil audiences. In Kerala alone, the film has grossed close to ₹6.5 crore in just three days. In the Gulf markets, which are known for their substantial Malayalam diaspora, Lucky Bhaskar is showing impressive traction.

Tamil Nadu is also embracing the film enthusiastically, though a limited number of shows might be constraining its full potential there. However, expectations remain high for a significant boost during the second weekend.

The film’s total worldwide collection reached approximately ₹34 crore in its first three days, with projections indicating a potential ₹45 crore by the end of the weekend. While reaching ₹100 crore will require a steady performance in the Telugu market, the Malayalam and Tamil markets are expected to play a crucial role in pushing Lucky Bhaskar closer to this milestone.

With its promising trajectory outside of Telugu states, the film has a 50-50 chance of joining the ₹100 crore club.
