Mythri’s Plan B for Jaat and Good Bad Ugly

0

Mythri Movie Makers, one of the biggest production houses in Indian Cinema, released two big films in Tamil and Hindi recently. On 10th April, the banner released two films, Ajith’s Good Bad Ugly and Sunny Deol’s JAAT. Mythri has a plan B for Jaat and Good Bad Ugly.

Mythri comes up with a Plan B for Good Bad Ugly and JAAT

The two mega budget films have done well at the box office if we consider the heroes’ stardom, but at looking at the budget the makers spent, definitely the collections are not enough for them and they ended up with minor losses. 

Mythri has spent a huge money on remunerations for lead stars for both films. Ajith received a massive remuneration of around 150 Cr for GBU, which takes the total budget to 300 Cr. Even Jaat did not perform as big as the makers expected.

That is why Mythri has a plan B for Jaat and Good Bad Ugly. They have already announced a sequel for Jaat, and for Good Bad Ugly’s compensation, Mythri is discussing another film with Ajith and Adhik Ravichandran in combination.

Aamir Khan Disrupts Rajamouli’s Dream

0

It is widely known that SS Rajamouli, the maverick filmmaker, has kept saying that the Mahabharat is his dream project. He continuously spoke about the project, and he also mentioned that the film will be made in multiple parts on a very grand scale. However, Aamir Khan disrupts Rajamouli’s dream with his Mahabharat plans.

Ever since Rajamouli said that he would make Mahabharat, audiences have been eagerly waiting for it, and there are already discussions happening on social media regarding the film’s star cast. 

Aamir Khan wants to make Mahabharat

On a shocking note, Bollywood actor Aamir Khan announces Mahabharat. Aamir is also known as a perfectionist, and he is regarded as one of the greatest actors and technicians of Indian cinema. He will definitely put his best efforts into the Mahabharat movie.

Aamir Khan disrupts Rajamouli’s dream with his Mahabharat plans. The Lagaan actor said that the film would most probably start this year, and he will make it in multiple parts with multiple directors. The cast is yet to be decided.

Will Aamir’s Plan Disturb Rajamouli’s Mahabharat?

If Aamir goes on to make Mahabharat, then certainly it might affect Rajamouli’s plans, as he can not pick the epic film immediately due to the relevancy issue. But due to the name of SS Rajamouli, audiences will be more excited for his version of Mahabharat, even if it comes after Aamir’s version. But there will be an impact for sure with comparisons and all other things between both films if they get released with a frequent gap.

Even Good Movies Not Saving Akshay Kumar at Box Office

0

Bollywood has been seeing a very tough phase for a while, as only a few movies are bringing higher numbers of audiences to the theaters. Even Star Hero’s films are struggling to bring audiences, and especially Akshay Kumar is struggling very badly in this regard. Even good movies like Kesari Chapter 2 are not saving Akshay Kumar at the box office.

The actor, fondly called Khiladi by his fans, continuously releases films, but most of them face a big struggle despite receiving positive WOM. Akshay’s latest release, Kesari Chapter Two, received unanimous positive reviews and WOM.

Despite getting a positive response and having a sequel advantage, the film fails to gather higher collections at the box office. The film opened with 7 Cr net in India on the opening day, and on the weekend it had a decent jump and collected 28 Cr.

However, on the 1st weekday, it could only gather 3.5-4 Cr net, which is definitely a disappointing number for the talk it received. For 4 days, the film has collected just 32 Cr net in India, and with this, achieving 100 Cr also looks very tough for the film. The trade experts are in shock as even good movies like Kesari Chapter 2 are not saving Akshay Kumar at the box office.

With no option left, the makers of Kesari 2 opt for a lower ticket rate offer. To bring in a big number of audiences, Dharma Productions banner opts for Rs.99 tickets from today, Tuesday, which is shocking for a four-star hero film with positive WOM. This shows how big Akshay’s films are struggling to impress audiences.

Superstar Mahesh Babu’s name is making waves in the news since the Enforcement Directorate has issued notices to him regarding a money laundering case. The news is trending online. The fans are worried as Mahesh Babu gets an ED notice.

ED Notice to Mahesh Babu

The case is regarding Hyderabad-based real estate firms Sai Surya Developers and Surana Group. A major English news outlet reported that Mahesh backed the real estate initiatives of Sai Surya Developers and Surana Group. However, the buyers got cheated by these groups. 

Mahesh earned Rs 5.9 crore from endorsements: Rs 3.4 crore by check and Rs 2.5 crore in cash. Now, the cash payment has come under scrutiny. In this regard, Mahesh Babu gets an ED notice.

Telangana Police lodged several FIRs against Narendra Surana from Bhagyanagar Properties Ltd. and Sathish Chandra Gupta of Sai Surya Developers. The claim states that these two cheated buyers by selling unauthorized plots, reselling them repeatedly, and lying about registrations.

The ED started the investigation and spotted payments to Mahesh Babu, suspecting the 2.5 Cr cash was linked to money laundering. On April 27, Mahesh needs to be present for questioning. More details will be out soon in this issue.

Nithiin’s Thammudu locks new release date

0

Tollywood Actor Nithiin has recently suffered a big blow with Robinhood. The film released amid good hype but didn’t live up to expectations. The Actor was hoping to give a strong comeback with the film, but it didn’t happen. Now, he is gearing up with his Thammudu directed by Venu Sri Ram.

Thammudu was initially planned for release in May, but due to the failure of Robinhood, it has been pushed further. It is learned that Thammudu is being planned for release on 4th July worldwide. The film is being produced by Dil Raju under his Sri Venkateswara Creations.

Thammudu has no buzz currently, and the promotional content should be improved by the team to raise the hype. The film is surely Nithiin’s crucial venture, and he must score a blockbuster to revive his career.

Overhyped climaxes in Tollywood

0

Promotional events of films in recent times are going overboard. Makers Hype up few scenes of a film during these events to create buzz among the audience. Some films also got bombed to match the expectations set by the makers at the box office. Recent film, Arjun Son Of Vyjayanthi, is a perfect example of this.

The Team including Actor Kalyan Ram talked much about the climax portion of the film. He said that the climax was a never-before one in Indian Cinema and expressed confidence that it would work hugely. But for the audience, it was just a decent one and didn’t live up to the expectations. The film also looks to become a failure at the box office with poor theatrical performance.

This happened not just for Arjun Son Of Vyjayanthi but also with few recent releases. Devara starring NTR, too, was projected to have a memorable climax, but it appeared just average. Pushpa 2’s climax was also flat and didn’t hype up the lead to Pushpa 3.

Director Sukumar in Game Changer’s Pre-release event spoke highly about the climax, declaring that Ram Charan did an extraordinary performance in the climax. He also stated that the Actor deserved a national award for his performance. But the climax of Game Changer didn’t even strike a chord, and the film became a miserable failure.

It’s better if the makers or celebrities speak less about the scenes or portions of the films before the release. Their words and speeches attract a lot of criticism if the particular film flops at the box office.

Pawan Kalyan’s Approval Crucial for OG

0

OG is undoubtedly the craziest film in Pawan Kalyan’s career. It is widely known that because of the political situation of the actor, he is not able to provide dates for his films. Hari Hara Veera Mallu faced several delays because of the same reason, and that is why Pawan Kalyan’s approval is crucial for OG.

OG’s Teaser Created Massive Hype

Directed by Sujeeth, the glimpse and posters of “They Call Him OG” have created a massive buzz among fans and audiences, and it was also rapidly shot continuously a few months back, but due to Pawan Kalyan’s political commitments, the shooting was on hold for more than a year.

OG Team awaits Pawan Kalyan’s approval for Dates

The team is waiting for Pawan’s dates to complete the film. The makers are said to be planning to complete the actor’s portion in May and to release the film in September. So, Pawan Kalyan’s approval is crucial for OG, and we need to see what decision he will take.

Both Hari Hara Veera Mallu and OG teams are looking for Pawan Kalyan’s dates to announce the release dates. Initially Pawan Kalyan planned to allot dates in mid-April for Hari Hara Veera Mallu, followed by OG’s shooting, but his son’s recent fire accident disturbed his planning. 

Good Bad Ugly 11 Days WW collections: Stronghold continues

0

Good Bad Ugly starring Ajith had a very good 2nd weekend performance at the box office after a sensational 1st weekend run. For 11 days, the film has collected around 140 crores gross in Tamil Nadu. Around 27 crores gross came in from the Rest of India and 61 crores gross from Overseas, taking the Total Gross to around 228 crores worldwide.

This is Ajith’s biggest grosser worldwide in all the territories. The film at this trend will surely rake in more than 150 crores gross in Tamil Nadu and 250 crores gross worldwide in the final run. This is indeed a thumping comeback from Ajith. But he is yet to come close to reaching Rajinikanth and Vijay’s film collections, as their films have made more than 600 crores gross worldwide.

Good Bad Ugly is still at 250 crores range, and this is comparatively disappointing. On the other hand, Mythri Movie Makers made a grand entry with Good Bad Ugly in Kolywood. They will surely expand their ventures in the Film Industry with this victory.
