Robinhood Movie Pre-release event happened in Hyderabad on March 23rd. Film’s cast Nithin, Sreeleela, Kethika Sharma and other actors attended the event. Sreeleela looked absolutely gorgeous in the saree. Famous cricketer David Warner also attended the event.
MAD Square, the upcoming crazy sequel, is carrying positive vibes among audiences. The film’s censor formalities have been completed. MAD Square Censor details are out, and the film has been censored with U/A.
The film’s production house, Sithara Entertainments banner, updated the same information on its social media handle uniquely and funnily. The film’s runtime is 127 minutes, similar to the 1st part. The team also gave a surprise that Thaman is composing the BGM for the film.
It is widely known that Bheems is the music director for the sequel of MAD, and the BGM was also expected by him, but he might be busy with other films’ works, or for any other reason, the team opted for Thaman for BGM. Bheems’ songs worked well and helped the film’s buzz to be intact.
MAD Square Censor details are out, and the film has been censored with U/A. The film’s runtime is also perfect for a comedy movie. Because of the sequel factor, the audiences are waiting to watch the film on big screens.
The advance bookings started on a strong note for the film; in the USA, the advances have crossed 100K for premiers, and the film is seeing good advances in Hyderabad bookings as well. The full-fledged bookings are expected to open by tonight.
Pawan Kalyan is one of the biggest stars ever in Tollywood, who has a massive fan following and box office market. It is widely known that the star entered politics and became an MLA/Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh after winning the 2024 elections. The good news is that Pawan Kalyan will not be retiring from movies despite his political career being busy.
At his peak time of his career, PK chose politics to serve the people, and in the recent elections he achieved a big victory. With that, even the industry people, fans, and audiences confirmed that Pawan Kalyan will not sign any movies, and he will just complete the committed films: Hari Hara Veera Mallu and OG shooting balance part.
But in his latest interview for a Tamil channel, the deputy CM of Andhra states that he will continue to do films as long as he needs money. But he said that he will not compromise on political jobs and administration work. This says that the Gabbar Singh actor is interested in doing films but not regularly.
He will probably work quite often, like a few days per year. This will be happy news for fans and audiences too. The PSPK fans will be definitely excited as they learn that Pawan Kalyan will not be retiring from movies despite his political career being busy.
Pawan Kalyan has to complete his balance shoot for Hari Hara Veera Mallu, OG, following a strict diet. He is all set to complete both films’ shooting this summer. Hari Hara Veera Mallu is already announced for a 9th May release, and They Call Him OG will likely come in September.
Besides the above-mentioned parts, Ustaad Bhagat Singh also needs to be completed, but this film needs huge dates of Pawan Kalyan, which creates a big dilemma on its progress. Also, both HHVM and OG are multi-part films. If part 1 succeeds, then Pawan Kalyan needs to shoot for part 2 as well.
Court, directed by debutant Ram Jagadeesh and backed by Natural Star Nani, has seen tremendous success at the box office. After having a sensational 1st week with 39.60 Cr gross collections, the film continues to be audiences’ first and biggest choice on the 2nd weekend as well. Court—State vs. A Nobody Achieves 50 Cr Milestone and Becomes the First Film in Nani’s Production to Do So.
Day 8 – 2.7 Cr
Day 9 – 4.5 Cr
Day 10 – 4 Cr
On the 2nd weekend, the film collected 11 Cr Worldwide. Normally for a 10 Cr budget film collecting such huge numbers on the 1st weekend itself is a big achievement but this film pulls off a rare feat in the 2nd weekend. Court – State vs A Nobody Achieves 50 Cr Milestone at the box office.
With the sensational 2nd weekend, the total collection went to 50.80 Cr, and it is the 1st 50 Cr film for Nani production. The film is not done yet and it will continue the good run for a few more days, and it turned out to be the biggest blockbuster for Nani production.
Hero Vikram is struggling so much in his career with continuous failures, and his stardom also impacts him in a very big way. Vikram does good promotions for his upcoming film, Veera Dheera Sooran, but the advances for the film are shockingly poor.
Directed by Arun Kumar, the film’s posters and promos impressed everyone, and it was expected to give a big comeback for Vikram. The trailer was also released recently and received a positive response from audiences.
With all this, everyone expected the film to have good advance bookings. But the early advances in Tamil Nadu are shocking for the film, as it did not register decent bookings even in iconic and famous theaters. The current advance sales for the film in Tamil Nadu are just 20L with single-digit occupancy, which shows how poor the bookings are.
In Tamil Nadu itself, the film started like this, so definitely in other territories also the bookings will be poor. It seems that the people are waiting for WOM to come to the theaters. With such poor bookings, the film must receive a strong WOM to bring audiences to theaters.
Also, VDS is a multi-part film. For the first time, a film’s second part is releasing first in theaters, as the team has designed the screenplay like that. So, this part’s success is very important, as another part of the film needs to come. Chiyaan Vikram fans are worried as Veera Dheera Sooran gets shocking advances.
One more shocking thing for the film is that Mohanlal’s Empuraan advances in Tamil Nadu are miles ahead of Veera Dheera Soora’s bookings. Both are releasing on the same day. In Tamil Nadu, Empuraan might open much bigger than Veera Dheera Sooran at this trend.
The film also stars SJ Suryah and Sooraj Venjaramoodu along with Dushara Vijayan, and it is also getting released in Telugu as Veera Dheera Soora. NVR Cinemas is releasing the film in Telugu, and it will be facing very big competition from straight films and dubbed films. So, a huge positive WOM only can bring the audiences to the theaters for Vikram’s film.
Luficer starring Mohanlal was a blockbuster in Mollywod. The film was also celebrated hugely by the Malayalam Audiences after its release. The film is also gearing up for its sequel, L2: Empuraan scheduled for release on 27th March worldwide. The Advance bookings for the film depict its craze and hype among the Malayalam Audiences. This craze for Lucifer is not reflected for its Telugu remake, God Father starring Chiranjeevi.
God Father was made with few changes, but the result didn’t match the original film. The changes that they made seemed to have affected the remake in Telugu. The prime reasons are:
In Luficer, Tovino Thomas played the Jathin Ramdas character. His character arc has worked out well with a good twist which elevates the character of Mohanlal. But, in Telugu version, it was completely killed with the team removing this character completely. They have gone ahead only with Chiranjeevi, Satya Dev and Nayanthara as the major faces.
Luficer as a film deals mainly with the Political Drama whereas in God Father, it was converted as a family drama.
In Lucifer, Vivek Oberoi did an excellent performance and Satya Dev in God Father didn’t give that impact. The cameo appearance of Prithviraj Sukumaran also worked out very well with a well-designed role. But, in God Father, the team went ahead with Bollywood Actor Salman Khan and made him do overboard scenes. There was also a song featuring both the Actors.
Lucifer ended with a powerful climax and also a good lead for the sequel but God Father had a weakest climax which was ended abruptly.
Few changes worked in Telugu version. One of such scenes is the scene of Actor Brahmaji in the first half. But in the second half of the film, the changes impacted the film in a big way. So, the audience who wants to watch L2: Empuraan must watch Luficer as God Father has been changed with many modifications.
Robinhood Movie, directed by Venky Kudumula is set to hit big screens on March 28th. The film had a grand pre-release event today in Hyderabad. Film’s cast Nithin, Sreeleela and various other actors graced the event. David Warner attended the event as a special guest. He also played a small role in the film.
Ram Charan’s birthday is just a few days away, and there was a lot of buzz about his upcoming film, RC 16’s title teaser, planned to be released on that day as a gift for fans. Similarly, Allu Arjun’s upcoming film’s details were also said to be out on his birthday, but the latest news suggests that there will be no updates for Ram Charan and Allu Arjun’s birthdays.
As said above, the title teaser of RC 16 was locked, and fans planned for a re-release of the Naayak movie for a birthday celebration. On AA’s birthday, Atlee’s film update was expected to be out, and Aarya 2 was planned for re-release.
Now, both the updates are said to be not coming due to Allu Aravind’s mother, Kanaka Ratnam [95 years old], being in a serious condition and on a ventilator. Reportedly, she is undergoing treatment in a hospital.
So, though the fans will be disappointed with no updates on their favorite stars’ birthdays, there will be no updates for Ram Charan and Allu Arjun’s birthdays because of family reasons.

This is the 1st time a Mollywood film has opened with a double-digit start in India; Empuraan achieved this in pre-sales alone with 4 days of release. The total worldwide advances for opening day, including fan shows, go past 35 Cr. The previous highest was 20 Cr. Empuraan is set for a 55 Cr opening as per this trend. A huge difference between the previous biggest and Empuraan openings.
Even though the Lucifer Telugu remake film Godfather did not work well at the box office and the remake has many changes over the original version, which also contributed to the box office disappointment. But the Empuraan teaser and trailer have created good anticipation in Telugu audiences too.. Dilraju is releasing the film in Telugu. The film is hitting screens on this Thursday, 27th March. The movie censored with 3 hours runtime.
Robinhood starring Nithiin is the most budgeted film in the Actor’s career, with more than 70 crores. The film is also releasing in the theatres this Friday worldwide. The team has started the film’s promotional activity, and Australian Cricketer David Warner has also become a part of it. The Cricketer has played a cameo role in the film, making his film debut.
Warner has also been reportedly charged a big remuneration of around 2 crores for just 3-4 days of the shoot. His images in the shoot have also been leaked which made rounds on the social media platforms. But the question is, Will Warner’s brand help the film create more buzz for the film? The team has also put high hopes on Warner’s inclusion in the film. The Cricketer has become very famous in recent times for his reels on Tollywood’s films and songs.
Warner is also set to attend the Pre-release event scheduled today from 5 PM onwards at Hyderabad. A poster along with the name of Warner was also released which highlights the team’s expectation of Warner’s popularity to create buzz for the film. The team is also learned to have offered some remuneration to Warner for this. The Theatrical Trailer will also be released tomorrow at the event and we may have a glimpse of the Cricketer in it. It needs to be seen how Warner’s brand helps the film.
