LCU Update: Benz Connection to Leo

Raghava Lawrence’s Benz catches all attention from its announcement itself. The brand of Lokesh Kanagaraj and the huge star cast already hyped the film. Now, the latest news is that Benz will have a connection to Leo from LCU.

LCU: The news of Benz connected to Leo excites the fans

It is widely known that Lokesh Kanagaraj created LCU: Lokesh Cinematic Universe. Kaithi, followed by Vikram and Leo, are the films in this franchise. For the first time, Lokesh will not be directing an LCU film.

The talented director will be doing the direction supervision for Benz, which stars Raghava Lawrence in the lead, with Nivin Pauly and Madhavan in crucial roles. Benz will have a connection to Leo from LCU.

Samyukta and Priyanka Mohan are the lead actresses of the film, and the shooting is going on now. Lately, an interesting buzz has come up on this film that Madonna Sebastian, who is said to be a part of the film, will reprise her character from Leo, where she appeared as the sister of the protagonist.

As the film is a part of Lokesh Kanagaraj’s universe, certainly, fans thought Benz would have a connection with either Kaithi, Vikram, or Leo. 

But according to the latest and inside reports, the connection will be with Vijay—Lokesh’s Leo.

Prabhas Factor Driving Kannappa Trade

Prabhas Factor Driving Kannappa Trade

After multiple postponements, Manchu Vishnu’s Kannappa finally locked 27th June as the release date, and the movie team is aggressively promoting the film. Apart from the genre, the Prabhas factor is driving the Kannappa trade.

In recent days, even big movies are facing issues in locking business deals. Even if the producers ask for an advance basis, the distributors do not agree. But for Kannappa, the distributors are locked.

Mythri Movies will distribute the film in big territories like Nizam, Ceeded, and UA, while the other areas will also be handled by top distributors. The film is releasing on an advance basis, which means all the risk is on Manchu Vishnu.

Prabhas drives Kannappa’s Business

The main reason for distributors giving advances to the film is undoubtedly one reason. Prabhas’s factor is driving Manchu Vishnu’s Kannappa trade.

The distributors believe that Prabhas’s screen presence will definitely bring audiences to theaters. With this confidence, the distributors are also very interested, and they are getting good offers from exhibitors too. 

Meanwhile, the film’s trailer is likely to be released soon, and it plays a crucial role in generating the required buzz among audiences.

Music Overload in Akhanda 2 Teaser

The much-awaited Akhanda 2 teaser was released yesterday and received a great response. The Balakrishna-Boyapati combination again took the audience to the Akhanda trance with the teaser. However, everyone feels Thaman’s music is overloaded in the Akhanda 2 teaser.

Thaman’s BGM played a crucial role in the success of the first part of Akhanda. Audiences unanimously responded positively, as everyone felt it elevated the film to a new level.

Thaman Background Music Overload in Akhanda 2 teaser

So, naturally, there were very high expectations for Music for Akhanda’s sequel. But the BGM in the teaser receives a mixed response, as everyone feels Thaman’s music is overloaded in Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2 teaser.

Netizens felt that Thaman’s background score goes overboard and is very loud, and as a result the lyrics/dialogues are not audible. Of course, there is a section of people who feel that this film needs such BGM, and they say it will work massively in theaters.

Fans have high hopes for Akhanda 2 BGM

We need to wait and see how the background score of Thaman works in the movie. But there is one thing: Thaman has never disappointed BGM-wise for Balakrishna’s films. He always plays a big role in Balakrishna’s recent success streak.

So, the same is expected from Akhanda 2 as well, and Thaman’s music plays a very big role in this movie’s result too.

Thudarum’s Final Collections: A Sensational Box Office Blockbuster

In a year characterized by high-budget expectations, Thudarum, a modest Malayalam film, stole the show with an unexpected and historic box office success. While all eyes were on Mohanlal s Empuraan to make a splash, but his Thudarum quietly emerged as a hit, defying industry expectations and becoming a watershed moment for Mollywood and Indian cinema in general.

Thudarum, a small budget movie, achieved astounding figures, finishing its theatrical run with a staggering international gross collection of ₹232 crore. In Kerala, the movie grossed ₹119 crore and earned ₹50 crore in share, making it the first Malayalam film to reach both ₹100 crore and ₹50 crore domestically.

The film’s overseas performance was equally impressive, collecting $11 million (approximately ₹93.5 crore), making it the second Malayalam film after Empuraan to cross the $10 million mark internationally. The Rest of India (ROI) market also contributed a solid ₹19.5 crore.

With this massive success, Thudarum now stands as the third highest-grossing movie in Malayalam after Empuraan and Manjummel Boys, marking a new milestone in the rise of Malayalam cinema on the global stage.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu Needs Trailer

Hari Hara Veera Mallu—Part 1: Sword vs. Spirit, starring Pawan Kalyan and directed by Jyoti Krishna/Krish, is facing numerous issues right now. Hari Hara Veera Mallu needs a trailer to start the positive vibes.

As everyone knows, this Pan Indian film, produced by AM Ratnam, was postponed from 12th June and right now, there are not many release dates available for the film as there are many big and medium films are lined up for theatrical release.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu Trailer has to work as the Songs didn’t click

The biggest mistake from the HHVM team is that they have released songs continuously by putting the trailer on hold. The songs didn’t help in building the craze and financial issues led to the film’s postponement.

Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu needs a trailer to start the positive vibes. If the team releases a proper and exciting trailer and if it clicks, it can create the required buzz among the trade and audiences.

A Solid Trailer can help Hari Hara Veera Malllu resolve its issues

That momentum can help resolve issues through business deals. Merely struggling with the release date won’t solve anything — the film needs to create strong excitement first, only then will everything fall into place.

Available Release Dates for Hari Hara Veera Mallu

Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu—Part 1: Sword vs. Spirit was postponed from 12th June due to financial issues, and now the team is trying to find a new date. It looks like there are not many release dates available for Hari Hara Veera Mallu.

If we look at the upcoming schedule of other noted films, on 20th June Kuberaa, 27th June Kannappa, 4th July Thammudu, 11th July Ghaati, 25th July Kingdom, 14th August War 2 and Coolie, 27th August Mass Jathara, and at the last, Mirai arrives on 5th September.

Not many Release Dates are available for Hari Hara Veera Mallu

If we look at this packed schedule, Pawan and AM Ratnam’s pan-Indian film has only one slot, i.e., 18th July, and another one is 1st August. But these two dates have just a week gap from Vijay Deverakonda’s Kingdom.

Also, if producer Ratnam and team try to release the film on August 8th or August 22nd, then it will be a big and wrong choice, as it will have only a one-week gap from 2 biggies: War 2 and Coolie.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu has to find a proper release date and should release some exciting promotional content

So, there are not many release dates available for Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu, and his other film, OG, has been announced for 25th September. So, the August release is a bad choice for the film’s business as well.

At any cost, Hari Hara Veera Mallu—Part 1: Sword vs. Spirit has to be released on 18th July, or it can even arrive before, but it will have to go with competition releases. Then only it will have a good gap with OG’s release.

Another important thing for AM Ratnam and the team is that they have to release some exciting visual content to create buzz among audiences.

Thug Life Crashes Hard on First Monday

Kamal Haasan’s Thug Life collected around 80 Cr gross worldwide in its extended weekend. This total was itself a disastrous one, and on the 1st Monday, the film performed even worse. Thug Life crashes hard on the first Monday.

Thug Life sees a big crash at the box office on Monday

On Monday the film could gather around 2 Cr gross in Tamil Nadu, which says how big the drop at the box office is. With this, for 5 days Tamil Nadu’s gross will be just around 35 Cr, and the film cannot even cross 50 Cr also in closing.

In the Telugu states and Kerala, the film crashed from day 2 itself and did not see many numbers from there. So, with the weekend itself, the movie closes its run in these two territories. Kamal Haasan’s Thug Life crashes hard on the first Monday.

Thug Life Box Office: 100 Cr total looks tough now

The film opened at a decent level overseas, but it failed to maintain the momentum till the weekend. The Mani Ratnam directorial collected around 4.5M overseas for the weekend, and the closing is likely to be around 5M.

Overall, this much-hyped film failed to meet the expectations of fans and will close under 100 Cr, which is a massive failure.

Early Netflix Release for Thug Life

Kamal Haasan’s much-anticipated film Thug Life released with great confidence is facing severe setbacks. Instead of making an outright sale, Kamal accepted advance payments from distributors, believing passionately in the film’s potential. To ensure a significant theatrical presence, the producers reached an agreement with Netflix for an 8-week exclusive theatrical window before the internet launch. Kamal Haasan even acknowledged this during advertising, demonstrating the team’s commitment to a long box office run.

However, Thug Life has taken an unforeseen turn and is now facing one of Kamal Haasan’s most serious setbacks. Despite the initial enthusiasm and ambitious release schedule, the picture is apparently failing, causing alarm in trade circles. With rising pressure and declining collections, sources suggest that the producers are reconsidering their OTT rollout plan. Talks are underway to stream the picture, at least in South Indian languages, within four weeks of its theatrical debut, which is far earlier than originally anticipated.

This sudden shift highlights the unpredictable nature of film performance, even when backed by strong belief,big heroes and strategic planning. Fans now await an official announcement on the revised OTT premiere date of Thug life.

Kuberaa censor report leaves fans shocked

Kuberaa, starring Dhanush and Nagarjuna, is gearing up for release on June 20th worldwide. The team is busy finishing the post-production works, and the censor formalities have also been done. However, this censor report of Kuberaa has shocked fans and audeinces.

Kuberaa has been censored with a U/A certificate and has a runtime of 195 minutes and 27 seconds, which is 3 hours 15 minutes and 27 seconds. No one expected such a lengthy runtime for Kuberaa, and this may pose a threat to the film. The recent films with a runtime of more than 3 hours received a negative response and were also trimmed later.

But the Producer of the film, Suniel Narang, stated that the final runtime will be around 175 minutes, which is 2 hours and 55 minutes. He also confirmed that they had submitted all the content to the censor board to avoid last-minute hurdles. There are good expectations on Kuberaa. Both Dhanush and Nagarjuna look to score a blockbuster with the film.
