Shocking start for Akkada Ammayi Ikkada Abbayi

0

Tollywood Anchor cum Actor Pradeep Machiraju’s latest film, Akkada Ammayi Ikkada Abbayi released in the theatres yesterday. The Anchor took a gap after his 30 Rojullo Preminchadam Ela which was a decent success and came up with his latest venture. But the film shockingly saw a negligible opening at the box office.

30 Rojullo Preminchadam Ela received a stunning hype and buzz with the popularity of its song, Neeli Neeli Aakaasam. But this didn’t happen for Akkada Ammayi Ikkada Abbayi which resulted in a poor buzz for the film. The film is a decent entertainer with good comedy and 2nd half was a bit dragged which became a big minus for the film.

If the film had carried good pre-buzz it could have seen a decent number on the opening day. It needs to be seen how the film trends in the weekend. A big jump is needed which looks very tough for the film.

Jack two days box office collections

Jack starring Siddhu Jonnalagadda released amidst good hype but failed getting positive word of mouth on the opening day. The film despite being Siddhu Jonnalagadda’s next film after his blockbuster, Tillu Square, couldn’t generate a big response. This resulted in poor openings for the film around 4 crores gross.

The word of mouth and reviews impacted the film heavily, and Day 2 just added 1.5 crores gross which took the total 2 Days gross to around 5.5 crores. The film must see a big jump today and tomorrow for a decent weekend but this doesn’t seem possible due to low buzz and negative word of mouth and reviews.

Interestingly, these spy films have been failing to attract the audiences in the theatres. Nikhil’s Spy and Akhil’s Agent too have become failures and now Siddhu Jonalagadda has added another film to this list.

Good Bad Ugly crosses 100 crores in 3 days

0

Good Bad Ugly starring Ajith Kumar recorded a thunderous start on the opening day. It maintained a good hold on the Day 2 and collected around 80 crores in 2 days. Today, the film saw a good jump and is also on the way for a big weekend with the holiday advantages of Sunday and Tamil New Year.

The film has also crossed the 100 crores mark worldwide and is expected to score around 160 crores for the extended 5 days weekend. The film is also on track to becoming Ajith’s career biggest grosser by beating his Thunivu before the 2nd weekend itself. It needs to go for the 300 crore mark to achieve a big success for all the parties involved.

For this mark, the film must maintain a strong momentum at least for 2 weeks. Meanwhile, fans and audience are very happy with the film’s positive word of mouth and opening records. Ajith saw a big disaster in the form of Vidaamuyarchi this year back in February. But Good Bad Ugly looks to set a big record erasing the bad performance of Vidaamuyarchi.

Nayanthara Faces Harsh Criticism for Her Latest Performance

0

Nayanthara’s latest OTT release, TEST, is a crime thriller with cricket as the backdrop. Starring Siddharth, Madhavan, and Nayanthara in the lead roles, the film started streaming on Netflix last week. Nayanthara faces harsh criticism for her performance in the test.

Directed by Sashikanth, the film failed to impress with its content. Also, after its release, actress Nayanthara faced harsh criticism from the viewers regarding her performance. Undoubtedly, Nayanthara is one of the best-performing actresses not only in the Tamil industry but also in South Indian cinema.

TEST Brings Unexpected Criticism for Nayanthara

However, in the film, TEST, her performance felt very ordinary, especially in the interval scene where she bursts at Madhavan emotionally; her acting is getting trolled on social media.

Not only Nayan, but even Siddarth’s performance is also very ordinary in the film. Madhavan in the first half looks good, but in the 2nd half his performance is also dull. All three leads in the film are already very big actors, but somehow in this film their performance is not up to their standards.

Despite Madhavan and Siddharth’s performance being bad, the criticism on social media targets Nayanthara only.

JAAT Box Office: Not so Strong

The day 2 net of the action drama is 6.5 Cr. Sunny Deol’s JAAT Day 2 Box Office collections are out now, and the total India net is 16 Cr.

The movie’s fall on the second day is not that big and, the hold is also not that strong. Today it is expected to take a bigger jump, and it has to collect bigger than day 1 and tomorrow has to be the biggest day for the film.

Monday being a government holiday can add some advantage for Jaat, and it must aim to get closer to 50 Cr net figure in the 5-day extended weekend.

Taking the budget into the consideration, Gopichand Malineni’s directorial has to collect around 150 Cr net in India to become a big successful film for producers.
