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.

Zero Shows for KA in Chennai, Record shows for dub films in Hyderabad

0

Telugu audiences and trade circles have owned Tamil and other language films for several years now. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said about Tamil trade reciprocating the same. The recent release of Diwali films like KA, Amaran, and Lucky Baskhar has once again made this abundantly clear.

Lucky Baskhar and KA movies are Telugu-produced films still Amaran and Bagheera have been allotted a huge number of shows in Hyderabad. These films even got a higher number of shows despite less business involved.

Even the Amaran Tamil version also got a good number of shows in Hyderabad. Hindi films like Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 have more shows than KA movies in Hyderabad.

In Chennai and TN, our Telugu film KA did not even get a single show. The Tamil version dropped due to competition but even for the Telugu version, no-shows were allocated despite a high demand.

Extremely limited shows have been allotted for Lucky Baskhar despite a heavy demand. On the other hand, Hindi films Bhool Bhulaiyya 3 and Singham Returns got a good screen count in Chennai. This is an unfortunate situation and the scenario has to change in Tamil Nadu to ensure a healthy trade environment.

Naga Chaitanya faces heat from Akkineni fans

0

Thandel starring Naga Chaitanya is the big budgeted film in his career. The film also has many expectations among the audience. The film was originally planned as a Christmas or Sankranthi release. But it is learnt that it has been postponed to February next year which has disappointed all. Naga Chaitanya now faces the heat from Akkineni fans as well.

A press meet by the makers is also scheduled to happen next week to announce the new release date. This is really disappointing news for fans and audience as well. Netizens feel that Naga Chaitanya must not leave everything to the makers and should convince them for releasing the film during a festive season. Thandel being a big budgeted film may have big risk if it releases during non-festive season.

We need to see if makers would also look at the summer season if they opt for a holiday period release. Sankranthi season is already occupied by many releases. So, Summer would be a best choice for the film.

Prabhas in LCU and PVCU?

0

Prabhas is the busiest A-listers in not just Tollywood but on a pan-India level as well. He is someone who doesn’t stick to a single film but works parallelly for 2-to 3 films which is a great style of working.

Since these pan-India films take a lot of time for CG, Post-production, and work on other scenes that exclude the hero, Prabhas can afford to allocate dates to other projects and he’s doing exactly that.

Due to this planning, he can release multiple biggies in a short period. He recently released 3 pan-India films in a year’s gap and now has 3 films already committed in the form of The Raja Saab, Hanu Raghavapudi film, and Spirit. The Raja Saab is slated to release next year while Hanu Raghavapudi’s film shoot has started. The musical sittings for Sandeep Vanga’s Spirit have started and it will go on floors pretty soon.

Apart from these, Kalki 2 and Salaar 2 are also lined up much to the excitement of the fans. Kalki 2 is likely to take more time and now the latest buzz is that Prabhas is in discussions with Prasanth Varma and Lokesh Kangaraj. Both directors have created universes with LCU and PVCU and the Rebel Star will likely be a part of both these universes.

KA starring Kiran Abbavaram has hit a jackpot by becoming a blockbuster. The film secured a positive word of mouth on the opening day showing a big sign of box office performance. Likewise, the film grossed around 10 crores gross worldwide for two days. With this result, fans and audience have already started speculating about the sequel of KA. Now, Kiran Abbavaram has also spoken on the possibility of KA 2.

The team of KA has ended the film without a lead for the sequel films. Going by the current trend, the makers of KA wouldn’t miss coming up with the sequel in the future. So, its very interesting to see if they come with a fresh concept for the sequel. We need to see if they would continue or come up with another plot on the same lines for the sequel.

Right now, the team and Kiran Abbavaram are enjoying the success of the film. The film is also on track of grossing more than 25 crores in the full run worldwide. All the diwali releases apart from KA such as Lucky Baskhar and Amaran have achieved a positive talk and are also running successfully at the box office.

0

With Pushpa 2 nearing its release, Mythri Movie Makers is planning large-scale pan-India promotions and events. Pushpa 2 is undoubtedly the most anticipated Tollywood film and its prequel’s success on the national level has led to massive pre-release business and unreal hype.

One of the biggest attractions of Pushpa 2 is going to be its special song. In the first installment, Samantha’s ‘Uh Antaava’ set the stage on fire and achieved global success; now Sukumar and co. are hoping for something similar.

Pushpa 2 team earlier approached some Bollywood stars for an item song. Several rounds of discussions happened with Shraddha Kapoor. But now, the team has reportedly finalised Sree Leela for this special song.

This song will be a dance feast as both Allu Arjun and Sree Leela are terrific dancers. The song shoot is expected to be done next week and with this, the film shoot will be wrapped up. The team has revealed its plans for some massive events this month to promote the movie.

KA Movie Day 2 Box office collection

‘KA’ Movie is showing remarkable strength at the box office, particularly with an impressive surge in collections on its second day. In fact, many regions are reporting higher earnings on the second day compared to its opening, reflecting strong word-of-mouth and growing audience interest. However, despite the promising start, ‘KA’ is facing challenges in its screen count, especially in Hyderabad, a major market for Telugu cinema.

Here, the film is competing with multiple high-profile releases, including Telugu titles like Amaran and Lucky Bhaskar, as well as Bollywood heavyweights Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.

These films have captured a significant share of screens, limiting KA’s showtimes and potentially impacting its overall earnings.
Nevertheless, the film has grossed an estimated 10 crore within its first two days and is making solid strides toward its break-even point of 25 crore.

Given its current momentum, industry experts believe ‘KA’ is well on track to achieve its break-even by the 1st week itself.If it continues at this pace, ‘KA’ could emerge as one of the major blockbusters of the season, underscoring its appeal despite stiff competition. The limited screen count remains a hurdle, but KA’s upward trend shows it has the potential to overcome this challenge and secure a strong position at the box office.
