Jyothika slams Media Bias: But the truth differs

0

Actress Jyothika is somehow getting into the limelight for the wrong reasons. Recently, she gave a statement that heroines will not get characters that have acting scope, and they are only used to elevate the hero or dance with him. Now, Jyothika slams media bias toward Suriya’s Kanguva, but the truth is different.

In a recent interview, Jyotika mentioned about Kanguva and said “I have seen many poor-quality films win big at the box office. But the reviews were not very harsh for them. But only my husband’s film got this level of criticism. Which is not fair.

Some parts of the film may not be good. But they worked hard for the film. However, it affected me when I saw that the film received harsher reviews than some bad films. It was sad that the media was biased.”

This definitely is not a valid point from Jyothika. We have seen much more criticism for many big stars’ films, and as far as Kanguva’s content is concerned, not only were a few scenes bad, but as a whole, the film itself did not work for audiences and was a very poorly made film. 

For every film, everyone will put in hard efforts, but that only matters when they select the right scripts. Jyothika slams media bias toward Suriya’s Kanguva, but the truth is different. Kanguva was criticized more by people, not by the media or reviewers.

The audiences themselves called it a poor film, and that is why even on OTT, the film received a bad response.

Empuraan, the Lucifer series’ 2nd part film, starring Mohanlal and directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran. It is the big-budget film from Mollywood, and it is also the craziest film for Malayalam cinema as well. But a film like this is also facing some hurdles. The film is just about two weeks away from its theatrical release, but Empuraan is facing massive hurdles.

The non-theatrical business for this big sequel is yet to be closed, and even the OTT rights and satellite rights are also yet to be sold for the film. As the movie has been made on a massive scale and budget, the makers are quoting higher prices, and OTT platforms have now changed a lot and are doing multiple negotiations for all films. 

Business Hurdles for L2: Empuraan

The satellite market went down after the arrival of OTT. With this, Mohanlal’s Empuraan is facing massive hurdles to close the business. Even the music rights of the film are also said to not be sold yet.

L2: Empuraan Teaser Luficer Sequel

The release date is nearing, the team wants to close all the deals before release. Also, coming to the theatrical release, the Lyca Productions banner is one of the producers for this film, and Lyca’s recent films saw big failure results, such as the recent Vidaamuyarchi.

So, there might be some financial issues from Lyca’s side to Luficer’s 2nd part, and they need to get resolved as soon as possible, because Empuraan is a pan-India film, and it needs to be released in all languages.

All these hurdles need to be passed by Empuraan very quickly to get a smooth and big release. The team is confident of releasing the film on 27th March as per plan, and it does not want to change the release at any cost.

0

Tollywood Actor Prabhas has collaborated with Director Maruthi for their The RajaSaab. The film’s shoot is also going on, and it was expected to be a quickie since it was based on horror comedy. Maruthi is also known for delivering films in a short span. But, due to various reasons, The RajaSaab shoot still lasts. Till now, only a Motion Poster was released regarding the film which received a lukewarm response.

There are also rumours of reshoots happening and VFX changes for better output. But these must work out well, and the pressure will definitely be on Maruthi since The RajaSaab happens to be his career’s highest budgeted flick. He must also handle the popularity of Prabhas well with a comedy-based film. There is a buzz that the film’s Teaser will be released at the end of this month.

The expectations will be sky high for the Teaser and Maruthi, as said, must prove his worth with the Teaser Cut, especially the Visuals in it. If the Teaser fails to meet the expectations, just as the Motion Poster, then Maruthi may face sharp criticism. This also impacts the craze for the film.

The RajaSaab is currently scheduled for release on 10th April, but the shoot is yet to be completed. The songs, including the post-production works, are still pending and the film may arrive only during the final quarter of this year. The new release date of the film may also be revealed with the Teaser.

Dhee Re-Release on EID/March End Weekend, whic is filled with Big Releases

Dhee is arriving again in theaters on 28th March, and on the same date, two crazy Telugu films are getting released in theaters: one is Robinhood, and the other one is Mad Square. Also, on the same weekend, i.e., 27th March, the Lucifer sequel L2 Empuraan and Chiyaan Vikram’s Veera Dheera Sooran 2 are arriving in theaters.

On the 30th, which marks the Ramzan Festival, Salman Khan’s Sikandar is getting released in theaters. With this, Dhee can not get a big number of screens, and audiences also have multiple new release options to watch. Manchu Vishnu picked the worst date for Dhee’s re-release.

If it had rereleased on some other date when there were no notable releases, it could have helped the film and exhibitors as well. Now, by releasing on such a busy date, it might waste the potential of the re-release.
