Cricket Buzz Lifts Peddi After Pushpa

After Pushpa Part 1’s release, many factors helped create the massive buzz around Part 2. Among those, one of the main factors is cricketers. The mannerism of Pushpa was imitated by star cricketers on the ground and on other occasions. Now, cricket buzz lifts Peddi after Pushpa.

The cricketers celebrating by imitating Pushparaj’s mannerism during the fall of wickets went viral, and even the official cricket pages heightened the craze by using Pushpa dialogues. These kinds of things helped the craze around Pushpa 2. 

Now the same is happening for Ram Charan’s Peddi. It is widely known that on Ram Charan’s birthday, the first glimpse of the film was released, and it ended with a cricket shot, which worked so well, and now it is continuously trending on the internet with the ongoing IPL.

On April 23rd, Hardik Pandya’s Mumbai Indians scored a big victory over Pat Cummins’s Sunrisers Hyderabad team. After the win, the official page of the Mumbai Indians team posted the cricket shot from Peddi, and it went viral. Much like Pushpa, cricket buzz lifts Ram Charan’s Peddi.

This will certainly help the film a lot to reach wider and bigger audiences. The team released the glimpse at the right time, and it struck gold. Especially for other languages, this will help massively.

Empuraan on OTT: The Crucial Test Begins

Mohanlal’s L2: Empuraan, the biggest hit of Malayalam cinema, has entered the digital field. The film was released in theaters in March and opened to mixed reviews. The film scored good numbers at the box office, but not at the expected level. The crucial test begins for Empuraan as it arrives on OTT.

Lucifer was a big hit at the box office in Malayalam, and it emerged as the 2nd biggest grosser for Mollywood. After its OTT arrival, the film became bigger and reached many audiences. Even in Telugu, it was remade as Godfather with Chiranjeevi, but most of the people opined that Lucifer is good compared to Godfather, as there are many changes in the Telugu version.

Empuraan fails to work in other languages

The huge response for Lucifer helped Empuraan massively, which was evident during the advance bookings and openings. But the film opened with below-par WOM and reviews, and because of such a response, it failed to register good numbers in other languages.

But in Malayalam, the sequel to Lucifer hype works well for Empuraan, and it created all-time records for first-week collections. After the 1st week, the mixed response started to affect the film, and it did not do much from the 2nd weekend.

Empuraan needs to work massively on OTT

Now the crucial test begins for Mohanlal’s Empuraan as it arrives on OTT. The movie is available for streaming on Hotstar in Malayalam, Telugu, Tamil, and Kannada. The response is crucial for L2E, as it will have another part to come.

So, to create buzz on the third part, Empuraan needs to work big on OTT, and in case it fails to impress the OTT viewers, the next part will not see the big buzz even for Malayali audiences. The Hindi version of the film will stream 4 weeks from now, as it has an 8-week theatrical window.

Jack to Stream Early on OTT

Siddhu Jonnalagadda’s latest film, Jack, hit theaters on April 10th and received a unanimous negative response/backlash from audiences and critics for its bad content. Like most of the movies, the film is on its way to making an early digital debut. Jack is set to stream early on OTT.

After the blockbuster Tillu Square, Siddhu Jonnalagada sees a massive setback with Jack. The film ends up with single-digit gross collections, and it has put Siddhu’s market in a big huddle. Also, Vaishnavi Chaitanya faces back-to-back setbacks with Love Me and Jack.

Jack to make its OTT Debut on May 1st?

Siddhu Jonnalagadda’s Jack is set to stream early on OTT. The film was actually planned for the 2nd week of May streaming on Netflix, but it’s said to be arriving early on OTT. From 1st May, the film will be available for streaming on OTT in all languages.

Directed by Bommarillu Bhaskar, JACK – Konchem Krack was made as a spy comedy, but it failed miserably because of the silly scenes and characters. The film was criticized for its poor portrayal of RAW officers.

No Grand Hindi Release for Hit 3, Here’s Why

Nani’s HIT 3 is all set to arrive in theaters worldwide in another eight days, and the actor is busy promoting the film in various languages. However, despite his valiant effort, HIT 3 will not have a grand release in Hindi.

It is widely known that Nani continuously makes good films, and his films reach all languages’ audiences through OTT, but theatrically he is still waiting for a pan-India blockbuster. The fans and audiences anticipated that the third film in the HIT franchise had higher chances to work at the pan-India level, especially in Hindi.

The OTT Deal Disrupts the Plans of HIT 3’s Grand Release in Hindi

Nani and Srinidhi Shetty are doing the promotions in all languages. But the news is that the film will not be released in national multiplexes in Hindi due to the 4-week theatrical window for OTT. 

Nani’s HIT 3 will not be released in National Multiplexes in North India

The OTT rights of the film have been sold for a huge price to Netflix, and the four-week theatrical window will apply to all languages. So, this means Nani’s HIT 3 will not have a grand release in Hindi.

Also, the film faces good competition in other languages, such as Suriya’s Retro in Tamil and Ajay Devgn’s Raid 2 in Hindi. Hopefully HIT-3 can deliver some good numbers in other languages, and in Telugu it will certainly open big at the box office.

Countdown Begins for Ajith’s Next Film Announcement

Tamil star Ajith Kumar has seen both low and high within a quick gap this year. At first, he faced a big failure with Vidaamuyarchi in February, and he scored his career’s biggest grosser with Good Bad Ugly, released in April. Now, the countdown begins for Ajith’s next film announcement.

Ajith’s Next Film Announcement on his Birthday?

Ajith’s next film is not officially announced yet, but there is news that the update is coming on 1st May on the occasion of Ajith’s birthday. The buzz is that Ajith will be joining hands with Adhik Ravichandran, who directed Good Bad Ugly and is a huge AK fan.

The fans await as the countdown begins for Ajith’s next film announcement. If we observe his recent films, Ajith is working with the same director continuously. Directors like Siruthai Siva and H. Vinoth have worked on multiple projects with the star, and now it seems Adhik Ravichandran will join the list.

Court Creates Sensation on Netflix, Competes with Chhaava

Produced by Nani and directed by debutant Ram Jagadeesh, Court: State Vs. A Nobody is a legal drama that became a big hit in theaters. The film received exceptional reviews from audiences and critics, and it continues its good run in the digital world as well. Court creates a sensation on Netflix and competes with Chhaava.

If we compare the budget/business or even the box office collections, Court: State Vs. A Nobody movie is nowhere near Vicky Kaushal’s Chaaava. Even the target audiences are different for both movies, and Chhaava is a big blockbuster, while Court is a regional blockbuster.

Both movies arrived on Netflix at the same time, and surprisingly, Court created a sensation on Netflix and competed with Chhaava. The film is trending on par with Chhaava on the popular OTT platform. Court is getting a bigger viewership in all languages.

Till 20th April, Chhaava has clocked 5.5 M views, and Court received 5.1 M views. Both films trended globally in non-English films in the top 10 movies that have been listed in many countries.

Court’s viewership is one of the biggest for Netflix from Telugu movies, and it trended better than many big and even pan-Indian films. Netflix always strikes gold with Nani, and it is continuing with Court film.

The Raja Saab is the next theatrical release of Prabhas. The film’s major portion of shooting is completed, while the songs shoot is pending. The team does not want to compromise on the film’s output, and that is why it opted for a big budget for high visuals.

Also, they reshot some scenes to get the required high quality. Because of all this, the film is on sets for a long time. Lately, director Maruthi gave the much-awaited The Raja Saab update. The filmmaker indirectly said that the film’s official update will be given in mid-May.

There were reports that a teaser with a release date was all set to arrive, but the producers of The Raja Saab did not make any official announcement until now. Maruthi is said to have locked the teaser and indicated that the teaser will be out officially in mid-May.

All Eyes on HIT 3 to Revive Dull Box Office

The Telugu theater owners and industry are facing a very tough time this April, as not even a single film is working at the box office. This week’s releases are also not carrying much buzz, and they are very small films. Now all eyes are on Nani’s HIT 3 to revive the dull box office.

Theater Owners and Industry Look Forward to HIT 3

The theater owners and industry people hope that Nani turns the tables with his crime/action drama. With films like Hari Hara Veera Mallu and Kingdom having more chances for postponement, Nani’s film stands as the only biggie in May.

HIT-3 is carrying a good buzz, and the Telugu states rights are sold at more than 30 Cr, while the worldwide figure is close to 45 Cr. The film needs to open with good WOM and also has to see a good run for at least two weeks for the theaters’ revival.

Can HIT 3 Revive the Dull Box Office?

That is why all eyes are on HIT 3 to revive the dull box office. On the same day, Suriya’s Retro is also releasing in theaters, and everyone is hoping for both films to succeed, which could avail good occupancies in theaters.

Normally, from mid-April, theater owners expected a good season, but the postponement of big films like Kannappa, Hari Hara Veera Mallu, and Kingdom, and the failures of other films like Odela 2 and Arjun Son of Vyjayanthi have put them in a difficult situation. Let us hope that Nani’s HIT 3 will provide some sort of relief for the theater owners in the Telugu states. 

Petta and Good Bad Ugly Satisfy Fans but Miss Full Box Office Potential

Petta and Good Bad Ugly Satisfy Fans but Miss Full Box Office Potential

Fanboys as directors always show their best levels and bring back the vintage presence of star heroes on the screen. Petta is a fan service movie made by Karthik Subbaraj for Rajini, and director Adhik Ravichandran also did the same for Ajith with GBU. However, Petta and Good Bad Ugly movies were able to satisfy fans but missed their full box office potential.

Karthik Subbaraj, the biggest admirer of Rajinikanth, made a film, Petta, which pleased the fans in a very big way, and fans celebrated the film massively. But if we look at the box office, the film did well, but it is not a record-breaking hit like Jailer. Petta did around 225 Cr gross worldwide, which is not the full potential of Rajinikanth.

Good Bad Ugly and Petta Satisfy Fans but Mixx Full Box Office Potential

The same can be said of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. The fanboy Adhik Ravichandran showed Ajith with the best looks and presence, and fans have celebrated the film, and it has collected 230Cr+ gross worldwide till now. Even though it became Ajith’s biggest grosser, the film failed to show his full box office potential.

So, Petta and Good Bad Ugly movies were able to satisfy fans but missed their full box office potential. The main reason is that both films work massively for fans, but for neutrals, both films are, at most, average, and content-wise, they felt they could have been much better.

If we look at some other fanboys, Lokesh Kangaraj gave Kamal Haasan a grand comeback with Vikram, which broke most of the box office records for Tamil cinema at that time. Atlee also scored big blockbusters with Theri, Mersal, and Bigil and took Thalapathy Vijay to the next level.
