The Last Possible Best Date for Hari Hara Veera Mallu : May-End

0

Hari Hara Veera Mallu is one of the biggest budget films in Tollywood, and it is also the biggest budget film in Pawan Kalyan’s career, along with being the first straight film from him after many years. The film faced numerous postponements, and looking at the current situation, the last possible best date for Hari Hara Veera Mallu is May-end.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Numerous Postponements

For many reasons, the film kept postponing, and even on its last announced date, 9th May, the film is not arriving. The last and best possible release date for Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu is the end of May.

Because there is a buzz that Vijay Devarakonda’s Kingdom has a chance of getting postponed from May 30th, HHVM may take that spot. Also, there are no major releases in other languages on that weekend, too.

May end is the best possible release date for Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu

Also, if we observe, the schools and colleges will start in mid-June as the holiday period ends. So Hari Hara Veera Mallu can enjoy a 2-week holiday period for a good run if it releases on May 30, and Bakrid falls on June 6, which will provide a huge advantage on the 2nd weekend.

Observing all these reasons and calculations, the end of May seems the best date for AM Ratanm’s big-budget film, and if it misses this date, the team has to look for a mid-June release, which is considerably not as good a date compared to the end of May.

Continuous Notable/Big Releases from June: Hari Hara Veera Mallu Cannot Miss May End

Moreover, from the end of June, there are continuous biggies in Telugu, and Hara Veera Mallu can not take any good date during that period, and one main thing is the film’s digital rights were bought by Prime Video for a huge rice and as per their agreement, the movie must release before other big films, or else the streaming giant will cancel the agreement, which again can create a tough situation for the producers.

Pawan Kalyan needs to allot dates for HHVM before the first week of May to complete it. Then the team can aim for an end-of-May release that will be the last good chance for the film to get good collections at the box office.

Ranbir Kapoor Film Postponement: A Major Advantage for Yash and Ram Charan

Love and War is a crazy project because of its star-studded combination. This love action drama is directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and stars Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal in the lead roles. Ranbir Kapoor’s Love and War was supposed to arrive in theaters in March 2026, but the latest news of its postponement turns into a major advantage for Yash and Ram Charan.

The film is being made on a very grand scale with big war sequences, and it was initially planned to be released this Christmas, but later it was moved to March 20, 2026. However, due to delays in shooting schedules because of the big scale, the film is said to be pushed to the 2nd half of 2026.

Ranbir Kapoor’s Love and War Postponed from March 2026

This is great news for Yash and Ram Charan, because both their films are aiming very big in Bollywood markets and are set to be released at the same time. Toxic was announced for 19th March 2026, while Peddi was announced for 27th March 2026.

Yash’s Toxic and Ram Charan’s Peddi can score big in Hindi because of Ranbir Kapoor’s Love and War postponement

So, if Love and War releases on 20th March 2026, Toxic and Peddi will face a big impact in Hindi. Ranbir Kapoor’s Love and War’ postponement becomes a major advantage for Yash and Ram Charan.

Now these two films can expect a big release and big numbers in the North Indian market. For any pan-Indian film, more than the regional language, it needs to see big success in Hindi to succeed.

The Glimpse of Peddi and The Paradise created ripples on social media platforms. Peddi garnered more than 30 million in 2 weeks whereas The Paradise garnered more than 20 million views in 1 Month.

The shoot of Jana Nayagan starring Vijay is currently underway. The film is also going to be Vijay’s last outing as he decided to concentrate fully on politics. The film has also been announced for release for the Sankranthi season in 2026. The Theatrical business of the film is said to have happened at a record level price.

The overseas rights of the film are sold for 78 crores and the digital rights of the film are sold at 121 crores. Tamil Nadu’s theatrical rights are sold at 90 crores and to achieve this breakeven mark, the film has to collect 200 crores gross collection from Tamil Nadu itself. Vijay’s previous films, Leo and The GOAT both collected more than 200 crores gross in Tamil Nadu. So, this will not be a major task for Vijay if the film gets a positive word of mouth.

With the overseas, Tamil Nadu Theatricals rights and digital rights, the film has fetched 290 crores. Jana Nayagan will do good business in Kerala, Karnataka, Telugu States and North Indian as well. With this and the satellite business all put together the film can easily pull off a business of more than 400 crores.

This weekend is going to be awesome for Telugu cinema fans with a triple treat. Mohanlal’s L2: Empuraan, Vikram’s Veera Dheera Sooran, and MAD Square are dropping for streaming. There could be no other happy news for the OTT viewers, as 3 films are dropping on OTT this weekend.

L2: Empuraan – Veera Dheera Sooran on OTT from this Thursday

Empuraan, starring Mohanlal, is the highest-grossing Malayalam film at over Rs. 260 crores. Prithviraj Sukumaran’s political action drama got mixed reviews, but the pre-release buzz and sequel factor boosted its box office success.

Empuraan will be streamed on Hotstar in Malayalam, Telugu, Tamil, and Kannada from April 24. Controversy during its theatrical run has heightened interest as everyone is waiting to see whether the uncut version will be available in the digital release.

Chiyaan Vikram led Veera Dheera Sooran: Part 2, which received good reviews, but it could not turn those responses into a good box office result. Starring SJ Suryah, Suraj Venjaramoodu, and Dushara Vijayan in the key roles, this Arun Kumar directorial will be available on Prime Video from April 24.

MAD Square on OTT from April 25

As said above, 3 films are dropping on OTT this weekend, and one of them is Empuraan, and the other one is Veera Dheera Sooran. The last one is our Telugu movie, the comedy sequel MAD Square. MAD Square had a decent response upon its theatrical release, and though it became a big hit at the box office, it did not continue the momentum after a big first weekend. The film will be available on Netflix from April 25.

0

This April is having a struggling phase with continuous failures. This weekend, two straight Telugu films and the latest Malayalam dub film are getting released in theaters. Here are the details about the April releases from 25–27.

Tamannaah’s Odela 2 and Kalyan Ram-Vijayashanthi’s Arjun Son Of Vyjayanthi failed to work well, much to the dismay of the theater owners in the Telugu states. Now the theaters are hoping that April releases from April 25–27 will save the day.

Nani’s Contrast Opinion About Film Reviews

0

In recent times, Telugu producers started bashing film reviews, mainly about their movies; people continued to attack reviewers and stated that reviews are killing the films. But they are not able to understand the reality that movies did not work for critics as well as audiences. However, Nani has a contrasting opinion about film reviews.

Whenever a film receives mixed and bad reviews, the producers just attack the critics during the press meet and say that reviews are killing the films, but many movies that had bad reviews have not done well at the box office. Which means audiences also have the same opinion as the reviewers, and that is why they rejected those movies.

Telugu Producers Attack Reviews

A few days ago, producer Naga Vamsi stated a fair point: that websites/reviews should not try to force the box office result by citing their verdict/opinion. A section of the media tried to justify their review even when that film worked well at the box office. 

Because some films, even though they receive mixed or bad reviews, perform well at the box office, which means there is definitely a difference between the audience’s opinion and the reviewers’ opinion. So, reviewers or websites need to understand this point, and they should not try to justify their reviews even when a film performs well at the theaters.

However, most of the producers just try to attack reviews just like that. For many films, even with disastrous content, the producers blame the reviewers, which is certainly not a fair thing to do, and it is not acceptable.

In Contrast to the Producers’ Opinion, Nani Supports Reviews

While a section of the Telugu cinema industry is fighting against early reviews or day 1 reviews, Nani has given a very realistic statement about the same during HIT 3’s promotional interview.

Nani has a contrasting opinion about film reviews, and he said that in this age, it is not possible to stop reviews on the first day or people giving their opinion about movies. He said that everyone will have their own opinion, but he also stated that there should be a difference between a common man’s opinion and a reviewer’s.

The actor said that a reviewer should not give a judgment on the film’s box office result, and they should just state if they liked it or not.

All India Students’ Federation (AISF) members from Vijayawada demand that a criminal case be filed against Allu Arjun and heroine Sreeleela, who were seen on screen together in Pushpa 2. The AISF members claimed that Allu Arjun and Sreeleela were the brand ambassadors of corporate colleges, which provided false information. Allu Arjun and Sree Leela’s promotion sparks outrage from students.

AISF Demands a Criminal Case against Allu Arjun and Sreeleela

“Two colleges are being named with the same student, and the lives of students are being destroyed due to such fraudulent publicity techniques. Those who are the brand ambassadors of such colleges who are responsible for this should also not be spared.” Allu Arjun and Sree Leela’s promotion sparks outrage from students, as the AISF members demand that a criminal case be filed against both Allu Arjun and Sreeleela.

Some colleges are branding Allu Arjun as a star hero to make use of his craze. However, the AISF members complained that different colleges are putting the same student’s name in the JEE Main ranks. They are demanding that a criminal case be filed against Allu Arjun and Sreeleela, as they are the brand ambassadors of such colleges, whether it is related to it or not, and are misleading the students.

Allu Arjun faced a Big Controversy during the release of Pushpa 2

Allu Arjun, who received a blockbuster with Pushpa 2, faced an unexpected controversy in the recent past. During the premiere of Pushpa 2, a woman lost her life in a stampede, and her son was also hospitalized. Since that time, Allu Arjun has been taking care of other things as well. Now AA and his team will face another bothersome issue as the AISF unexpectedly demands a criminal case from Vijayawada.

After Pushpa 2, Allu Arjun locked a film with Atlee. An announcement video of the film was released recently and received a massive response. The film is being produced under the banner of Sun Pictures and will be produced on a huge budget.

Mixed Buzz For Retro Promotions

0

Suriya’s next film, Retro, directed by Karthik Subbaraj, is getting released in theaters worldwide on 1st May. The movie is so crucial for Suriya because he has not had a box office success for a long time. The film’s songs, teaser, and trailer have been released so far. Suriya’s Retro promotions receive mixed buzz.

As said above, the actor has not scored a big hit in a decade, and his recent biggie, Kanguva, ended up as the biggest disaster in his career. Retro’s shooting has been completed at a rapid pace, just in 3-4 months, and the output we have seen through posters, songs, and trailers promises that the film’s quality is fantastic. 

Suriya’s Retro: Songs and Trailer receive mixed response

Coming to the promotional content of the film, it received a surprising response, as the trailer and songs worked so well for some sections of audiences, while for others, the content did not work.

Suriya’s Retro Telugu Trailer

Can Suriya’s Retro take a good opening at the Box Office?

There is a dilemma with the movie’s hype as Suriya’s Retro promotions receive mixed buzz. No one can say whether the movie is carrying big buzz or it does not even have a notable buzz, and we can decide it only after looking at the advance bookings.

Karthik Subbaraj and Suriya’s film will face tough competition in Telugu, as Nani’s HIT 3 is releasing on the same date. Also, the film will compete with HIT 3’s Tamil version and The Tourist Family in Tamil.
