Dhanush’s NEEK OTT Streaming Details

0

Kollywood star Dhanush faced a box office failure with his recent directorial outing Nilavuku En Mel Ennadi Kobam (NEEK). The film managed to make some noise through its promotions thanks to the hit song ‘Golden Sparrow’. However, beyond that it failed to make an impact and is now getting ready for its OTT debut.

The film will be arriving on Prime Video on 21st March and it’s expected to receive a big response after OTT release. NEEK was a commercial failure due to its poor release date but if we consider content and direction, the film surely managed to win some hearts. Pradeep Ranganathan’s Dragon was going super strong at the box-office and made things quite tough for NEEK.

The film starring a fresh cast full of new comers received decent to good reviews. It was made on a limited budget made Rs 12 crores and would have made much more impact had it not released in competition with Dragon.

SVSC Re-Release Rocks the Box Office

0

Mahesh Babu and Venkatesh’s SVSC (Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu) attracts audiences to the theaters upon re-release. If we observe the release date of SVSC on March 7th, i.e., tomorrow, it is a bad date with no holiday, no occasion, and exams for students. Even in this scenario, SVSC Re-Release is rocking at the box office.

SVSC Re-Release: Massive Response

This re-release has become a box office success with advance bookings itself. In Hyderabad City itself, the advance bookings gross is more than 60L, while the total Telugu states advance bookings are around 1.2 Cr. The total worldwide advance bookings have crossed the 1.5 Cr mark, which is more than expected for the film. SVSC Re-Release is rocking at the box office.

With these bookings, the re-release is already a success, and the walk-ins and weekend performance will decide how big the success is. The positive sign for the film is that even for Saturday, the advance bookings are promising. If the film had been released next week with the Holi advantage, and the student exams would also be over by that time, it could have helped Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu to do more than now.

SVSC is expected to witness massive celebrations in theaters, like previous Mahesh films. The film will be available in theaters tomorrow. The film also stars Anjali, Prakash Raj, Jayasudha, and Rao Ramesh in crucial roles.

0

Ne Zha 2, the Chinese film which released during the Chinese New Year, is creating wonders at the box office. By the end of its 5th weekend, the film crossed $2 Billion mark, stunning everyone. It has also crossed Spiderman No Way Home to become the 2nd highest grosser post-COVID just behind Avatar 2.

The film is also the 7th highest grosser of all time and will aim to finish in the Top 3 or at least in Top 5 at the box office. Ne Zha 2 has also created a record by becoming the first animated film to enter the $2 Billion club and also the first Non-English film to join this club.

Though the numbers have slowed down, Ne Zha 2 can still challenge Avatar 2’s numbers in the full run and become the highest grosser post-COVID. The film has surely surprised the box office analysts with its impeccable performance.

Coolie Telugu Break-even Mark at 100 Cr

0

Rajinikanth’s Coolie will have a massive craze in Telugu because of multiple factors. Firstly, it stars superstar Rajini. The second one is the director, Lokesh Kanagaraj, who has a good image among Telugu audiences. Coolie Telugu’s break-even mark is at 100 Cr.

It is widely known that King Nagarjuna is playing a crucial role (rumored to be antagonist), and the music of the film is composed by Anirudh, who has a huge fan base across languages, and it involves a huge star cast as well. 

Box Office: Rajinikanth’s Coolie needs a huge target in Telugu

Reportedly, the makers have quoted more than 50 Cr value for Telugu states rights itself, and some distributors are in discussions to buy the rights of entire Telugu states. So, to achieve the break-even, the action thriller needs to collect in the range of Jailer, 2 Point 0, which means in Telugu for break-even itself, Rajinikanth’s Coolie needs to collect 100 Cr gross at the box office.

Coolie: Can Lokesh deliver a Massive Blockbuster

Collecting 100 crore gross is definitely possible with positive word of mouth. As said above, director Lokesh Kangaraj carries a huge brand, but box office-wise, he is yet to score a sensational blockbuster like other big directors from Tamil.

For example, the Vikram director should score massive hits like Director Shankar and other directors. His film with Vijay, Leo, opened big, but because of mixed talk, it just managed to achieve the breakeven. Even with his best hit, Vikram also ended up with less than 40 Cr gross in Telugu states.

Lokesh Kanagaraj’s film is yet to score 50 crores gross in Telugu. So, at this time, Coolie needs a 100 Cr gross to reach the break-even point, and it is expected to give a big break box office-wise for the director in Telugu.
