Kannappa Buzz Driven More by Prabhas Than Content

0

After a somewhat decent first weekend at the box office, Manchu Vishnu’s Kannappa experienced a big crash on today’s morning shows. It looks like Kannappa buzz has been driven more by Prabhas than content.

Kannappa drops big after a decent weekend at the Box Office

Before the release, the film did not have a big buzz, but because of the star cast and genre, it had a decent craze. Surprisingly, the film had a good start for noon shows in Telugu on its first day.

As the movie opened with decent WOM, with the 2nd half carrying good reports, everyone expected it to gather more numbers at the box office. But shockingly, it saw a drop on day 2 and did not pick up on Sunday as well.

Prabhas is the main factor for Kannappa’s Buzz

Coming to today’s noon shows, the film completely goes down. This is unexpected. These trends prove that Manchu Vishnu’s Kannappa’s buzz has been driven more by Prabhas than content.

The excitement among Telugu audiences was only because the Baahubali actor acted in a special role, despite the film having several other exciting elements. 

As far as the content is concerned, the film, Kannappa, is certainly a decent watch with a good second half, but if it is still underperforming, it suggests that somehow, the audiences did not connect with the content.

Vetrimaaran Thanks Dhanush for Free Vadachennai NOC

0

A big and controversial rumor about Dhanush has been doing the rounds that he demanded a big amount from director Vetrimaaran for NOC regarding the Vada Chennai Universe. Now, Vetrimaaran clears the air and thanks Dhanush for giving a free NOC.

In an official video sent to the media, director Vetrimaaran said that the film, STR49, is set in the world of Vada Chennai, but it is not the sequel to the film.

Dhanush did not ask money for NOC, says Vetrimaaran

Because Dhanush holds the copyright for the film, “I said that I’m making a film with Silambarasan TR in the world of Vada Chennai. Dhanush didn’t even ask for a single rupee and said that he would give an NOC. But there is a lot of negative speculation going on with us.”

The Tamil cinema fans are happy as Vetrimaaran clears the air and thanks Dhanush for giving a free NOC. They eagerly await the actor and director to work on the sequel of Vada Chennai.

Vetrimaaran and Dhanush are an evergreen successful combo of Kollywood. The duo have worked together in four movies so far: ‘Polladhavan,’ ‘Aadukalam,’ ‘Vada Chennai,’ and ‘Asuran.’ All 4 movies were box office hits along with getting critical acclaim.

Aamir Khan Delivers: Sitaare Zameen Par Racing Towards 300 Cr

0

Almost after a 3-year gap, Bollywood star actor Aamir Khan released a movie in theaters, i.e., Sitaare Zameen Par. The film received good reviews from everyone. Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par is racing towards 300 Cr.

Aamir’s last two films, Thugs of Hindostan and Lal Singh Chaddha, were huge disasters. So, the actor took time and came up with a moderate budget and strong content film, Sitaare Zameen Par. 

The film did not carry much buzz before release, but it received positive WOM and gathered good collections for the 1st week. The good thing is, the film held well on the 2nd weekend as well and collected 34 Cr net.

The total India net collections of the film for 10 days stand at 122 Cr and gross is 145 Cr. If we add overseas numbers (51 Cr), then the total worldwide gross will be 196 Cr.

The film will join the 200 Cr club today, and it is expected to have a good run for another 2 weeks at least.

Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par is racing towards 300 Cr, and even the trade believes it has high chances to collect that number in its full run. This is a very good collection/number considering the movie’s budget. 

Overall, the emotional sports drama emerged as a successful film.

Even in its second weekend, Sekhar Kammula’s Kuberaa brings good numbers at the box office. Starring Dhanush as the lead alongside Nagarjuna in a crucial role, Kuberaa’s Telugu version crosses 90 Cr gross worldwide.

As said above, the social drama with the financial scam backdrop had a good 2nd weekend at the box office despite a new release like Kannappa competing with it.

Kuberaa crosses 90 Cr mark in Telugu: On course to join the 100 Cr Club

The Telugu version has collected over 90 Cr gross till the 2nd weekend, and if we consider all versions, the gross number will be close to 120 Cr.

The Tamil version disappointed in the 2nd weekend too, as it did not put up any numbers. Sekhar Kammula’s Kuberaa’s Telugu version crosses 90 Cr gross worldwide, and it is the 2nd biggest grosser for Dhanush after Raayan.

If only the Tamil version performed better, the movie could have been the all-time biggest grosser for Dhanush.

The trade expects Kuberaa to show a good hold this week too. If the film holds in the same way in Telugu with another decent weekend, then it will easily join the 100 Cr club in Telugu.

0

Last year Dulquer Salmaan’s Lucky Baskhar and Sivakarthikeyan’s Amaran were released on the same day on the occasion of Deepavali, and both films scored success. Now, Dulquer Salmaan and Sivakarthikeyan are ready for another face-off.

As said above, last October saw these two talented actors competing, and though both films impressed the audiences, Amaran was a sensational blockbuster, and Lucky Baskhar emerged as a decent success.

So, box office-wise, Amaran emerged as the winner. The latest news is that Dulquer Salmaan and Sivakarthikeyan are ready for another face-off this year with Madharasi and Kaantha.

Siva Karthikeyan’s next film, directed by Murugadoss and titled Madharasi, has been announced for a 5th September release.

Dulquer’s Kaantha is also said to be planning to arrive on the same date. Both films will be released in Telugu too.

But both films may not find a big screen count, as at that time Raviteja’s Mass Jathara will come on 27th August, and Teja Sajja’s big-budget film Mirai is set to release on 5th September.

Kannappa Becomes Manchu Vishnu’s Biggest Grosser

0

The dream project of Manchu Vishnu, Kannappa, the devotional film, was released in theaters on 27th June, and it gathered huge numbers for the actor. Kannappa becomes Manchu Vishnu’s biggest grosser within its first weekend.

The 1st weekend worldwide gross of the film is likely to be around ₹30 Cr, with a share of around ₹15 Cr. It is the lifetime biggest grosser for Vishnu, but whether it is a good or bad weekend can only be judged based on the original budget. 

Kannappa’s Collections and the publicized budget do not match

For the publicly stated budget by the makers, these collections are definitely not enough. The makers publicized that the film’s budget is 200 Cr.

So, if you take that into consideration, then the share is not even 10% of the budget, and if the number has been used just for publicity, these are decent numbers.

Manchu Vishnu scores his career biggest grosser with Kannappa: But is it enough?

Kannappa becomes Manchu Vishnu’s biggest grosser within its first weekend, but the trend has been downwards after a decent day 1 at the box office.

Coming to the distributors, there is no risk involved for them as the movie has been released by Vishnu.

So, only Manchu Vishnu can say whether the collections are enough for the movie’s budget recovery or not.
