Balakrishna’s Akhanda to achieve this milestone?

Balakrishna’s Akhanda opened to roaring box office collections on 2nd December 2021. It was NBK’s highest-grossing film of all time, collecting over 18 crores in shares on the first day.

The movie received tremendous response from fans in the two Telugu-speaking states. But what is more interesting is that the movie is doing incredibly well in the USA as well, collecting over $700K as of Saturday evening. This is the highest in NBK’s career.

If Akhanda continues its steady form, it is very likely to cross the $1M milestone within a week of its release. Since it is a Sunday, more people will flock to the theatres to witness Balaiya’s rampage onscreen.

Earlier in the year, LoveStory and Jathi Ratnalu entered the prestigious $1M club in the USA box office, and Akhanda is likely to be added to this prestigious list, becoming only the 55th Telugu film to reach this milestone.

It will be interesting to see if Akhanda can beat the collections of the two Telugu films. Looking at the current trend, that is very possible since there is still time for a big release like Pushpa.

Jathi Ratnalu collected a total gross of $1.05M and Love Story collected a total gross of $1.28M.

Akhanda also stars Pragya Jaiswal, Srikanth, Jagapathi Babu among others, and Boyapati Srinu has directed the film. Akhanda is the third film in the Boyapati-Balakrishna combo, the other two also being super hits.

Mohanlal’s Marakkar gets good opening but sees a drastic fall on day 2

Malayalam Superstar Mohanlal’s Marakkar directed by Priyadarshan has turned out to be a massive disappointment. The high budget action-adventure was billed to be the Malayalam Baahubali and was made with a massive starcast on a large scale.

The film was released amidst great hype and registered great openings on Day 1. The film, however, failed to sustain the hype and word of mouth led to drastic falls on Day 2. Considering the budget of the film, Mohanlal’s Marakkar is headed towards a huge loss.

Many trade pundits are now stating that OTT would have been a better option for this action-adventure film. Initially, there were reports that the film will go for an OTT release. However, after seeing a positive response to Dulquer Salmaan’s Kurup, the makers went for a theatrical release. This has turned out to be a massive setback for the producers.

Marakkar features Sunil Shetty, Keerthy Suresh, Arjun Sarja, Manju Warrier, Kalyani Priyadarshan among others. The film is based on Kunjali Marakkar and his fight against the Portuguese invasion back in the 1500s.

Day 3 of Akhanda is coming to an end, and there are no signs of the film slowing down. The movie is keeping a steady pace and is on track to be the highest-grossing Telugu film of 2021.

If this wasn’t exciting enough, there is a buzz that Superstar Mahesh Babu and Young Tiger JR. NTR will be the chief guests at the Akhanda grand success meet.

The two leading stars of Tollywood had also tweeted in support of the film.

Mahesh Babu Shoots For Unstoppable With NBK

Mahesh Babu finished shooting for Unstoppable with NBK today. The fans of Superstar Mahesh Babu and the fans of NBK cannot control their excitement, and can we blame them?

Two undeniable pillars of Tollywood in one frame. This episode is undoubtedly going to break all records. Unstoppable with NBK has already impressed a lot of people because of NBK’s superb energy, and his candid interactions with his guests.

The show has already featured top individuals from the film industry like Nani and Mohan Babu. But those pale in comparison to this episode with Mahesh Babu.

Fresh off the raving reviews about Balaiya’s presence in Akhanda, Mahesh Babu will likely be discussing NBK’s mass in Akhanda.

Aha has really struck gold with this show, catering to exactly what fans want: Candid Balaiya. It is also refreshing to see our very own stars talk candidly as it is very rare.

According to inside reports, this episode will most likely be the 5th episode of the show.

In the coming weeks, we might also see Prabhas and Jr. NTR on the show. Just the thought of that gives goosebumps.

Pawan Kalyan Sings Again For Bheemla Nayak

There is no doubt that the combination of Powerstar Pawan Kalyan and Trivikram has produced blockbuster movies over the years.

But the star combo has also produced some chartbusters over the years, some of which the Powerstar has sung himself.

After Attarintiki Daaredi and Agnyaathavaasi, the duo is back with Bheemla Nayak. The buzz is that Pawan Kalyan will be singing a massy village type song.

In 2013 when Pawan Kalyan sang the groovy Katamarayuda song for the blockbuster Attarintiki Daaredi, fans of the star went gaga over it.

In 2018, the star gave his voice for the song-Kodakaa Koteswar Rao. Although the movie didn’t do too well, the song was celebrated by his diehard fans.

Kodakaa Koteswar Rao Video Song

After a gap of three years, Pawan Kalyan will be lending his voice again for a massy village song in Bheemla Nayak, and fans of the Powerstar cannot wait.

The song will release a week ahead of its theatrical release.

Saagar K Chandra has directed the movie and, Trivikram Srinivas has written the screenplay of the film. The film also stars Rana Dagubatti, Nithya Menon, and Samyukta Menon in prominent roles.

Bheemla Nayak is all set for a grand theatrical release on January 12th,2022. If all goes to plan, this will be the highest grosser for Pawan Kalyan.

SKYLAB Team Commits A Huge Mistake

SKYLAB Team Commits A Huge Mistake

Despite having an interesting concept, and an engaging trailer, SkyLab opened to terrible collections, with very low occupancy on the first day.

SkyLab, starring Satyadev, Nithya Menon, and Rahul Ramakrishna released on 4th December 2021. Set in the 1970s, Skylab is a fictional retelling of a real incident that occurred in Karimnagar.

What is the reason for such low openings? Let’s analyze the team’s mistakes.

Poor Choice In Release Date

Nandamuri Balakrishna’s Akhanda movie released on 2nd December 2021 and opened to extremely positive talks from fans. The movie was the actor’s best opener of all time.

Due to this, the hype generated around Akhanda has been sky-high. Naturally, SkyLab being a relatively small movie in scale suffered immensely. If it released after a week or so, it would’ve fared better.

SkyLab Not Meant For The Big Screen

There is no argument that SkyLab looks visually stunning. However, in today’s market, people want more than just visual satisfaction.

It would’ve been a much better option for it to release on OTT, due to its slow-paced storytelling.

Not Enough Promotion For SkyLab

The makers failed in their efforts to promote the movie. Arguably, they had Nani as a chief guest for their pre-release event and also promoted their movie on the TV show-CASH.

But unfortunately, this was not good enough to compete with NBK’s Akhanda.

Having said that, this is only the first day, and hopefully, the film picks up the pace soon.

Skylab Review: Promising plot but dull execution

Movie: Skylab
Rating: 2.25/5
Cast: Nithya Menen, Satyadev, Rahul Ramakrishna
Director: Vishwak Khanderao
Produced By: Nithya Menen, Pravalika Pinnamaraju
Release Date: 4th December

Skylab trailer and its subsequent promotional content have evoked great curiosity amongst the audience. When a star cast featuring talented actors like Nithya Menen, Satyadev, and Rahul Ramakrishna comest together, it is bound to give something interesting and watch worthy to the audience. Nithya Menen is turning producer with this film and picking such an off-beat subject for her debut is indeed a brave decision. Has this gamble paid off? Let’s find out

Story: Skylab is based on the ordinary lives of the residents of Bandalingampally village. These ordinary lives change when the news of Skylab (a satellite located in space) gets destructed and starts heading towards the earth. The movie is set in 1979 and director Vishwak Khanderao has tried to capture the reactions and imaginations of people during those times to a satellite hurling towards the earth.

Performance: Gauri (Nithya Menen) plays an aspiring journalist who is looking for that one big story that will change her life. Ananda (Satyadev) on the other hand plays a doctor who has lost is license and is now planning to set up a clinic in the village. The duo look terrific on-screen and as talented actors, they breathe life into their roles. Adding to the movie’s cast is Rahul Ramakrishna who provides some comic relief and fun moments in the movie. The extended support cast includes Tanikella Bharani, Tulasi among others who have nothing special to do.

Analysis: Skylab starts on a promising note and the characters are well established and portrayed. The production design is impressive and brings the retro theme to life. While the film is good on technical front- writing and editing are two things that play a spoilsport and do not allow the film to realize its potential. The film has also explored issues like untouchability, lack of medical care in villages etc. but the presentation ends up making the movie a dull fare. The film could have been edited by a long margin and still could have retained the essence.

Plus Points:

Nithya Menen

Production design

Minus Points:

Length

Editing

Weak narration

Verdict: Skylab is another of those projects with immense potential gone waste. The film tries to explore and showcase too many things at once and often sidetracks from the core narrative. Multiple irrelevant sequences and lengthy runtime make the film a tedious watch
