Ram Charan’s Peddi’s first shot breaks all records. Buchi Babu has done everything so perfectly. People are praising Ram Charan’s dialogue delivery and attitude in the glimpse.

Buchi Babu Sana’s direction, visual splendor, Venkata Satish Kilaru’s production values, and the final cricket shot are fantastic. A big star film seldom receives such positive feedback, yet Ram Charan’s commitment and the team’s dedication achieved this.

L2: Empuraan shatters records – Mollywood’s first 250 crore Blockbuster

0

L2: Empuraan starring Mohanlal is rocking the box office. The film has achieved the 250 crores milestone mark in Mollywood becoming the first one to achieve this feat in Mollywood.

For 10 days, the film has collected 247 crores gross worldwide. On its 11th day, it has officially joined the club. However, one thing that looks bothersome is how the film was unable to make a big jump in its 2nd weekend. With this, it seems very difficult for the film to reach the 300 crore club milestone.

L2: Empuraan, though had a big hype and expectations didn’t get much needed support from other language audience which impacted the collections. Also, the film received only a mixed word of mouth. But, these didn’t hamper its prospects in the 1st week and the film recorded thunderous collections at the box office. The mixed word of mouth, obviously affected its run in the 2nd weekend. Anyways, L2: Empuraan has become a box office success and is the Industry Hit for Mollywood.

Peddi Team Confident: The Paradise Will Postpone Its Release

0

Ram Charan’s upcoming film, Peddi’s Glimpse, was out yesterday, and it received a unanimous positive response. The film’s release date was also announced, and it will clash with The Paradise, starring Nani. The Peddi team is confident that The Paradise will postpone its release.

Peddi and The Paradise: Both Announce Same Release Date/Weekend

The makers of Peddi announced that the film will be released on March 27, 2026. Natural Star Nani also announced that his next film with Srikanth Odela will be released on March 26, 2026. So, this led to an interesting discussion among cinephiles and industry circles about the box office clash between the two movies.

The Paradise is not only a big-budget film in Nani’s career, but the budget of the film is almost on par with biggies, which means it is the biggest-budget film in tier 2 heroes. The team released a stunning glimpse with announcing 26th March 2026 as a pan-Indian release and in a few international languages as well.

Peddi Team believes that The Paradise Team will postpone

Even after this announcement, the Peddi team officially announced their release date of 27th March 2026 with the first shot/glimpse in all Indian languages. Now, in the industry, there is a buzz that Ram Charan’s Peddi team is confident that The Paradise will postpone its release.

Nani’s The Paradise Shoot Not Started Yet

Because the shooting of the Nani-Odela movie has not started yet, it will take a few more days to go on set. As it is being made on a big scale, finishing all the work and releasing the movie on the planned date will be an impossible task.

Whereas Peddi started shooting last year itself, and the unit completed a few schedules of shooting. Around 25% of the shoot is already completed, and it is set to complete the entire shoot by this year. So, it will definitely arrive on the planned release date.

Also, if we look from the industry’s point of view, the clash will not happen at any cost, as both films will be affected by the competition.

Mythri Limits Good Bad Ugly and Jaat Scope

0

Ajith’s Good Bad Ugly and Sunny Deol’s JAAT are two big-budget films that are set to be released this Thursday. Both the films also have good craze in Telugu apart from their original language. However, Mythri limits Good Bad Ugly and Jaat’s scope to a single language.

Mythri Movies Failed to Utilize the Hype of Good Bad Ugly and JAAT

Normally, when Mythri movies make big-budget films, everyone expects they will be pan-Indian films and will have a great release in Telugu, but surprisingly, Mythri limits both Good Bad Ugly and Jaat’s scope to Tamil and Hindi only.

Sunny Deol’s JAAT not releasing in Telugu

JAAT is directed by Telugu director Gopichand Malineni and produced by Telugu producers Mythri Movie Makers and People Media Factory. Thaman is the music director. But still, the team is not releasing the film in Telugu and limits it only to Hindi, which is certainly a shocking thing.

Even though Sunny Deol does not have the market in Telugu, with all the popular names, Thaman, Gopichand Malineni, and producers, and a mass genre that could have provided some good collections with good promotions, the team just limits it to Hindi.

Mythri does bad promotions for Good Bad Ugly in Telugu

The same goes with Ajith Kumar’s Good Bad Ugly. The team said first it would be released as a pan-Indian film in Telugu and Hindi as well, but still, the trailer itself was not released in Telugu and Hindi. 

In Telugu, there is a good potential for the film at the box office; Ajith is somewhat of a known face, and director Adhik’s previous project, Mark Antony, was a super success in Telugu. Even with all these, the team does not focus on Telugu markets.

Two potential pan-Indian films are being limited to a single language, and normally, the Mythri group is always known for taking risks and breaking the boundaries, but with these two big movies, they failed to do so, surprisingly

The makers of the film, Sun Pictures, stated that it will be a magnum opus and one of the biggest projects in Indian cinema, which will be announced this Tuesday, marking Allu Arjun’s birthday. 

Allu Arjun – Atlee’s Film: An International Film with a Massive Scale

Normally, when anyone listens to the combination of Atlee and Allu Arjun, they will expect it will be another massive pan-Indian film, but it is being said that the actor and director are collaborating for an international spectacle, and Icon StAAr Allu Arjun’s first international venture is confirmed with Atlee.

AA22 Announcement with a Video

As said above, the announcement of the film will be made on Pushpa actor’s birthday, and the team will announce it as a global film with a video. The latest social media sensation, Sai Abhyankkar, will compose the music for the film.

The film’s pre-production works are in full swing, and it will take much more time to go on sets. Allu Arjun, for the first time, plays a dual role in the film, and the director Atlee is on for a big experiment with this film, and unlike his regular mass films, this film will have some different world concept.

L2: Empuraan starring Mohanlal had a record start in advance bookings. The opening day was phenomenal and the film performed amazing on the Eid weekend continuing it even after the holidays. But the film is struggling in it’s 2nd weekend.
