Bad Signs for Sikandar

There is really something wrong with Salman Khan’s upcoming film, Sikandar. Right from the film’s commencement, shooting and the promotional content, nothing seems to have worked right for it. From all sides, bad signs are there for Salman Khan’s Sikandar.

At first, the film was suddenly committed and went to sets immediately. Director AR Murugadoss, who was working with Sivakarthikeyan, put that film on hold and started Salman’s film. The film’s shooting was completed very quickly, and it is getting released this weekend.

Everything Worked Against Sikandar

At the announcement time itself, everyone was shocked as they thought about how it was possible to complete the entire shoot in such a quick time and release the film. But the team succeeded in finishing the film as per the plan.

However, the promotional content did not impress, as so many issues were found due to the hurried work. People were shocked to notice the lip-sync error in the trailer of Sikandar. From all sides, bad signs are there for Salman Khan’s Sikandar.

Even the film’s songs also did not work well. Normally Salman Khan’s films releasing for the Eid festival weekend, that too on Sunday, should open with a 50 Cr+ start in India, but due to the weak promotional content, the film now is in a position where getting half of 50 crore is looking like a big task.

Positive WOM can turn the tables for Salman and Murugadoss

The film was censored a few days ago, with a runtime of 150 minutes. But after receiving censor approval, surprisingly, the makers trimmed a massive 14 minutes from the film. The revised runtime is now 135 minutes and 47 seconds. Trimming a 14-minute runtime at the last minute is a very big surprise, and we need to see how all these things turn out in the end.

Salman Khan and AR Murugadoss both need a box office blockbuster in the current situation, and with the help of this combo and positive talk, this action entertainer can put up big numbers and give a comeback for the actor and director.

Khushbu Strongly Denies Allegations Against Nayanthara

Mookuthi Amman, directed by RJ Balaji, was loved by the audiences, and it became a huge success. The sequel for this film has a director change as Sundar C steps into the project. Currently, the film’s shooting is underway, and there are some unexpected rumors about the film. However, the fans of Nayan are happy as Khushbu strongly denies allegations against Nayanthara.

Recently, the announcement of Mookuthi Amman 2 was done with a grand temple set, and shooting started immediately. The film’s budget is massive and reportedly goes over 100 Cr, and Nayanthara, who appeared as the lead in the first film, will continue in the sequel as well.

Mookuthi Amman 2: Negative Rumors on Nayanthara by a Tamil Youtube Channel

Meanwhile, a Tamil YouTube channel reported that Sundar C is unhappy with Nayanthara as she is changing the outdoor schedules and not giving the support during the shooting as well. The Youtube channel even reported that Sundar C may even change the lead actress for the film if the same continues. 

Khushbu Supports Nayanthara

But Sundar C’s wife, Khushbu, condemns all these rumors with a solid post on social media. Nayan’s fans were upset with all the negative rumors, but they are delighted as Khushbu strongly denies allegations against Nayanthara.

Khushbu took to her X (Twitter) account and stated that the shooting of Mookuthi Amman 2 is going well and reiterated that Nayan is a professional actress, and her husband is a no-nonsense person. The veteran actress said that all these rumors are like an evil eye on the film.

Naga Vamsi hints at a massive Mythological film with Allu Arjun – Trivikram

Tollywood Producer Naga Vamsi took part in the promotional activity of his current film, MAD Square slated for release on 28th March worldwide. While speaking, he also talked about his planned film with Allu Arjun directed by Trivikram. The Producer said that the film will be made as a mythological wonder on a big scale.

He also mentioned that the country will be surprised by this. He said that most people know about God but not in much detail. He exhibited confidence that they would showcase that on a grand note. This film’s Pre-production works are in full swing, and Director Trivikram also has no films to work for meaning he would concentrate more on it. In the meanwhile, Allu Arjun will work in the upcoming film directed by Atlee.

Trivikram has worked in the Mythological backdrop for Khaleja in the past. The film became a big disaster but won great praise in the later years from the audience. So, this genre will now be a big booster for the team. This film will also be a right one for Trivikram to go Pan India level.

Mazaka OTT Streaming Date Out

Sundeep Kishan’s Mazaka was released in theaters worldwide for this Maha Shivaratri. Despite getting positive reviews from audiences and critics, the film failed to achieve success at the box office. Now, the latest news is that the Mazaka OTT streaming date is out.

Sundeep Kishan’s Mazaka on OTT from this Weekend

Directed by Trinadharao Nakkina, the family entertainer had paid premieres before the release day, and the feedback was also decent. However, even with the advantage of the Maha Shivaratri holiday, the film failed to put at least decent numbers at the box office. 

A few days ago, there were rumors about the film’s early digital premiere. Now, Mazaka’s OTT streaming date is out, and the film will be available for streaming online from March 28th on ZEE5. ZEE Group has acquired the satellite and digital rights of the movie.

Mazaka stars Sundeep Kishan, Rao Ramesh, Ritu Varma, and Anshu in crucial roles. Bheems Cecireleo composed the film’s music. Let’s hope that the film receives a good response upon its OTT release.

Robinhood Budget, Censor and Business Details

Robinhood Budget, Censor and Business Details

Robinhood is a very crucial film in Nithin’s career, as after Bheeshma he continually scored box office failures, and the team did very aggressive promotions to bring audiences to the theaters. The recent release trailer also received a good response. Robinhood budget, censor, and business details are out now.

The main concern for the film is the release date, as it faces tough competition from a blockbuster sequel, MAD Square, which is arriving on the same day. The film was made on a staggering budget of 70 Cr. The team initially planned for between 50 and 55 Cr. 

But the shooting took longer than expected, and some reshootings and Warner’s addition made the budget go beyond 70 Cr. Nithin’s Robinhood budget, censor, and business details are out, and the movie was censored with a U/A rating and a runtime of 156 minutes and 49 seconds. This is a normal runtime for commercial films.

Robinhood’s Trailer Works: Can the Film Recover the Business?

Nithin – Sreeleela Robinhood Trailer

Coming to the business, the competition affected the film a lot, and distributors also had a lot of negotiations with the producers. In the Andhra area, the ratio was expected to be around 15 Cr for the budget, but it went down to 12 Cr, and now the final ratio is said to be in the range of 10 Cr.

Robinhood’s ceded business is valued at approx. 3.5 Cr, while the producers are releasing the film on their own in Nizam. Altogether, the theatrical business of the film is valued at 26 Cr – 27 Cr. The non-theatrical rights have been bought by Zee Group.

The producers are at a risk with this business as the film needs to do big numbers. Venky Kudmula’s directorial needs to collect a theatrical share of around 40 Cr to become a safe venture for producers.

Gopichand Malineni Outshines Murugadoss

Bollywood’s upcoming biggies are directed by South Indian directors. One of those films, Sikandar, stars Salman Khan and is directed by Tamil director Murugadoss, and the second one is Sunny Deol’s Jaat, directed by Telugu director Gopichand Malineni. As far as the trailer’s impact is concerned, Gopichand Malineni outshines Murugadoss with the JAAT trailer.

Sikandar’s Trailer Falls Flat Before JAAT’s Trailer

Sikandar is all set to be released in theaters worldwide on 30th March, whereas JAAT will be released on April 10th. Both films’ trailers are out now, and the Sunny Deol starrer is getting a good response, whereas Sikandar is receiving a mixed and below-par response from audiences. 

Gopichand Malineni’s JAAT Trailer Promises a Mass Feast

Jaat’s trailer is packed with heavy mass action elements, and the team also added a tag of Mass Feast, and it looks like a perfect tag. Whereas Sikandar’s trailer seems ineffective, and the dialogue sync is also poor.

Salman Khan’s Sikandar Trailer

Many commented that Salman’s Sikandar trailer tried in a way to match SRK-Atlee’s Jawan. However, except for one or two dialogues, Sikandar’s trailer seemed like an old wine in a new bottle. 

Sunny Deol – Gopichand Malineni’s JAAT Trailer

Even Sunny Deol’s JAAT also has a routine plot of a village/place suffering because of a villain’s acts and the hero coming out of some other place and thrashing the goons. But, the presentation of the trailer hinted that the film will be a racy action entertainer with a lot of action and dialogue-baazi.

JAAT Looks to Outshine Sikandar at the Box Office

So as of now, Gopichand Malineni outshines Murugadoss with the JAAT trailer. We need to wait and see who will win in this box office battle. Salman Khan is in a tough phase with failures, and it has some impact on Sikandar along with its promotional content getting a mixed response.

But Salman’s stardom can provide a good opening for the film, and it is also getting released on Sunday, which marks the EID festival weekend, promising a good opening. Sunny Deol made a massive comeback with Gadar 2, which will definitely help the opening of JAAT.

Andhra Pradesh Ticket Prices Not Enough for Tollywood

Andhra Pradesh Ticket Prices Not Enough for Tollywood

Tollywood is currently facing a major disparity in government-mandated ticket prices between Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. In Telangana, the government-fixed rates stand at ₹295 for multiplexes and ₹175 for single screens. However, in Andhra Pradesh, the rates are significantly lower—₹177 for multiplexes and ₹147 for single screens.

While the industry in Telangana has comfortably adapted to the existing GO pricing, with only Tier-1 and pan-India films requesting hikes, the situation in Andhra Pradesh is different. Several recent films, including the three Sankranti releases, ‘Thandel’, ‘Robinhood’, and ‘Mad Square’, have sought ticket price hikes. Unlike before, approvals for these hikes are now being granted more easily.

However, frequent price hikes can create a negative perception among audiences, especially in the age of OTT platforms. Many viewers feel discouraged when they see a ticket price increase, affecting a film’s box office potential. Instead of applying for hikes on a film-to-film basis, Tollywood should engage in discussions with the Andhra Pradesh government to establish a revised GO with sustainable ticket rates.

A proposed increase of ₹50 for single screens and ₹75 for multiplexes over the current GO pricing would align with the industry’s needs. This would ensure fair pricing while maintaining audience trust. By publicizing that films are releasing at “GO-approved prices with no hikes,” the industry can eliminate the negative sentiment associated with frequent price changes, ultimately benefiting both filmmakers and moviegoers.

Empuraan Runtime Details: First and Second Half Durations Revealed

This weekend is a big weekend for Indian cinema. From Tollywood Mad Square, Robinhood is getting released, and from Kollywood, Veera Dheera Sooran. Empuraan from Mollywood and Sikandar from Bollywood are also releasing on the same weekend. Empuraan’s runtime details are out now.

Mohanlal’s Empuraan is carrying record advances and the biggest numbers. The opening day advance sales are already near the 45 Cr mark worldwide, and for the weekend it is near the 65 Cr range.

The movie has been censored with UA with a runtime of 180 minutes. Now, Mohanlal’s Empuraan’s runtime details are out, with the exact length of the 1st half and the second half. The film’s first half will be 98 minutes, and the second half will be 82 minutes.

So, the first half will have a bigger runtime than the 2nd half. The team hopes that this film will work very well at the pan-India level in all languages, and if it works, then part 3 will be made on a much bigger scale.

Who Spends Lakhs to Troll Pooja Hegde?

Actress Pooja Hegde has recently faced continuous flops, and she hopes to make a comeback with Suriya’s Retro, which is getting released on May 1st. In a recent interview, the actress said that some meme pages continuously targeted her with many trolls, and it got very big. Pooja Hegde said that some PR teams are spending lakhs to troll her. 

Pooja Hegde talks about PR Teams trolling her

“My family was bothered at first, but later we took it as a compliment that, as we are above, they are trying to pull us down,” she said. “I found out that some people were spending a lot of money just to make fun of me. I instructed my team to contact the meme pages to check what was going on. They replied, ‘This is the amount we are being paid. If you want to put an end to it or fight back, this is what it will cost.”

These kinds of statements are coming from a lot of industry people. Recently many have been saying that in industry there is negative PR, with some spending lakhs of rupees to bring others down, but none of them have revealed the names.

PR Blame Game is the New Thing in The Film Industry

Definitely, these kinds of things will be happening in the film industry, but not all the trolls are made by PR. There will be both praise and trolls from meme pages and netizens as well. If something works, then the same people will praise actresses/actors through their posts on social media, and if something does not work, then they will turn into trolls.

Pooja Hegde said that some PR teams are spending lakhs to troll her. However, instead of blaming PR, revealing the names behind those trolls could have been better. Because if someone is really doing it, they will stop it.

By making such statements, even people will doubt who will spend lakhs of amounts to bring Pooja Hegde down and why they are trying to bring down only her.
