Rajinikanth’s Peddanna first day Telugu states Box-office collection

Superstar Rajinikanth’s Peddanna has been one of the most hyped movies of this year. With the Superstar returning to an out and out mass role after a huge gap, the pre-release buzz was at its peak. However, with mixed reviews and dull audience talk, the movie seems to be getting derailed in an unexpected manner. Rajinikanth’s Peddanna first-day numbers are a surprising testament to the fact.

The AP and Telangana share for the movie’s first days stands at around Rs 1.42 crores. The start is rather poor and unprecedented for a Rajini movie in Telugu states. Rajinikanth’s Peddanna has done a pre-release business of Rs 13 crores and the recovery seems to be an uphill task. The movie’s disastrous start comes on the back of terrible reviews with many terming it the weakest Rajini movie in recent times.

The film’s day one region-wise number stands as follows.

  • Nizam -Rs 45 lakhs
  • Ceeded Rs -20 Lakhs
  • UA -Rs 10 Lakhs
  • East- Rs 11 Lakhs
  • Guntur- Rs 25 Lakhs
  • Krishna- Rs 11 Lakhs
  • West- Rs 10 Lakhs
  • Nellore -Rs 10 Lakhs

Siva has directed this commercial entertainer which features massive support while Kalanithi Maran has produced the film. The film stars Keerthy Suresh as Rajinikanth’s sister while Nayanthara stars as Superstar’s love interest.

Acharya’s second single Neelambari fails to impress

Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Acharya’s second single Neelambari is out. The makers released this romantic number a while ago on social media. Neelambari is picturized on Ram Charan and Pooja Hegde and is a soft and soothing love song shot at picturesque locations. Anurag Kulkarni and Ramya Behara have sung this number.

The makers Konidela Production Company had earlier released the first single ‘Laahe Laahe’ back in March and the song has clicked 98 million views so far. The buzz around Acharya has been quite cold primarily due to multiple delays. The makers were hoping of reviving it with Acharya’s second single Neelambari, however, it looks unlikely.

The song however has failed to impress the listeners and has given out rather dull vibe. Mani Sharma has composed the music while Sekhar Master has choreographed the song.

Acharya stars Kajal Agarwal opposite Mega Star and Ram Charan will be seen in a crucial role alongside Pooja Hegde. Acharya is all set to hit the screens on 4th February 2022.

Disappointing Diwali for Tollywood

The festive season usually brings in lot of hopes of the movie makers and even the audience eagerly wait for it. This Diwali though turned out to be quite a dull affair. All three Tollywood releases- Peddanna, Manchi Rojuluochaie, and Enemy failed to impress the audience.

Superstar Rajinikanth’s Peddanna turned out to be a massive disappointment with critics and the audience panning it. The film was criticised for having an outdated plot. Similarly, Santosh Shobhan and Mehreen starter Manchi Rojulocchaie also couldn’t leave a mark. Vishal and Arya starter enemy did have some enthralling action episodes but fell short of overall engaging content.

All these 3 films failed to register good numbers at the ticket window. Adding to this word of mouth is also not good for these Tollywood festive releases. The breakeven targets for the three films are quite high and the distributors are most likely to face losses during the festive season.
