L2: Empuraan struggling in 2nd weekend

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.

The 2nd weekend was expected to see a very big jump but the film hasn’t been trending to that level. L2: Empuraan saw a drop in collections and collected more than 240 crores gross in 9 days. By today, it will e in the range of 250 crores gross.

Usually, the 1st weekend and Eid festival trend is expected to go near 300 crore gross by the 2nd weekend itself. But looking at the trend now, reaching 300 crore mark looks out of task for the film. Not only in India, the film is having a below par 2nd weekend performance in the overseas also.

Peddi First Shot: Raw Rustic Ram Charan

The most awaited first glimpse of Ram Charan and Buchi Babu’s Peddi is out now. On the occasion of Sri Rama Navami, the makers released a video glimpse, much to the fans’ happiness. Peddi’s first shot presents Ram Charan in a raw and rustic avatar.

After watching the video, netizens say that Ram Charan looks like Raw Charan. After Rangasthalam, the actor absolutely slays again with the rural character. The makeover and his swagger in that Godavari slang impress everyone.

Peddi’s First Shot Hits Out of the Park

Peddi’s first shot presents Ram Charan in a raw and rustic avatar. The videos show that the hero is not interested in doing one thing and tries to master many things, as he feels that humans are born only once and one should live life to the fullest by achieving big success.

Peddi First Shot: Buchi Babu Delivers – ARR Impresses

It is a great effort by Buchi Babu, as he delivers such a solid output in just two schedules. The director offers a genuine, earthy experience that Telugu audiences, especially fans of Ram Charan, appreciate. 

This film is bound to succeed, and we just need to find out how big that would be. One more exciting takeaway from Peddi’s glimpse is the background score provided by Oscar award winner AR Rahman. The great quality and mass effect in BGM took the video to the next level.

Not Shelved! Lyca Productions Set for a Strong Revival

Lyca Productions, one of the big banners in South Indian cinema, is in a bad phase as it has seen continuous and very big failures. A few months ago, there was a strong report that the production house was shelved. However, the latest reports suggest that Lyca Productions is set for a strong revival.

Lyca Productions faces huge losses with recent films

As said above, the production house faced crores of losses with recent films, which led to the buzz that Lyca is planning to shelve the production by completing committed films. Indian 3, along with Sundeep Kishan under Vijay’s son’s directorial. It was said that the banner would not produce any movies after these films.

Lyca Productions: All Set for a Big Comeback

But the latest news is that Lyca is not going anywhere; Lyca Productions is set for a strong revival. The production company is said to be in talks with stars who have worked with them in recent times, and there are very good chances of compensation projects with those stars. 

With 2 Point 0, Lal Salam, and Vettaiyan, Lyca Productions faced losses, so a project with Rajinikanth is under discussion. Even the big sequel, Indian 2, gave very big losses to the team, so it is said to have asked Kamal Haasan to complete Indian 3 under a reasonable budget along with another compensation project.

Can Lyca Productions Make a Comeback?

Ajith’s Vidaamuyarchi also caused big losses to Lyca, so the same compensation project is said to be in plans with the star also. The stars are also likely to do films with Lyca as their situation is bad, but the production house should be careful about their next projects to sustain and revive in the film industry.

Sikandar Box Office Collection: 2nd Weekend Crash, Set to close under 100 Cr

Salman Khan’s latest action drama, Sikandar, has failed to impress even his fans, and it is heading towards a big failure at the box office. Surprisingly, the film could not even reach the three-digit figure. Sikandar’s Box Office Collections crashed in the 2nd weekend, and it is set to close under 100 Cr in its full run.

Sikandar could not reach the expectations

When the film’s announcement came, it received a good buzz because of the director Murugadoss’s name and the release date being Eid; everyone expected it would be a revival project for both Salman Khan and Murugadoss.

However, as the promotional content started to come out, the film’s buzz got killed, which resulted in poor openings, and the film also opened with unanimous negative reviews. On Sunday and the following EID holiday, the movie somehow put up decent numbers, but after that, it completely saw a downfall.

Sikandar: First Film after ages to not reach 100 Cr for Salman

On the 2nd weekend, the film did not pick up and completely crashed at the box office. For the 1st week, the film just collected 85 Cr net in India, and there is no chance for the film to go past 100 Cr.

Probably today will be the last day for the film at the box office. The fans and trade circles are in shock as Salman Khan’s Sikandar’s Box Office Collections crash in the 2nd weekend, and it is set to close under 100 Cr in its full run.

Sikandar Box Office: An Outright Disastrous Result

Overall, for the 1st week, the net of the film in India is 85 Cr, and the gross is around 101 Cr; the overseas gross is 49 Cr which takes the total worldwide gross to 150 Cr, and the closing will be around 160 Cr.

The team spent a big budget on the film, and sadly, it gathered collections like an outright disaster.

Can Dil Raju revive Nithiin’s career?

Tollywood Actor, Nithiin’s recent film, Robinhood became an outright disaster. The film achieved negative review on the opening day and never recovered later. The film, as said, ended up with a single-digit closing share. Now, all eyes are on his next film, Thammudu produced by Dil Raju.

Interestingly, Dil Raju too suffered a jolt in the form of Indian 2 last year but breathed a big sigh of relief with his, Sankranthi Vasthunam this year. But, Nithiin, on the other hand scored a hat-trick flop with Macherla Niyojakavargam, Extra Ordinary Man and Robinhood. So, the onus is on to give a big comeback.

Thammudu is directed by Venu Sriram and deals with a sister sentiment theme. Apart from this, Nithiin has another film, Yellamma produced by Dil Raju. This film will be directed by Venu, fame of Balagam. So, Nithiin, crucial turn in his career is handled by Dil Raju and we have to see how these two films workout.
