Bigg Boss 9 Telugu 4th Elimination: Another Common Man Out

0

The Bigg Boss 9 Telugu show is keeping viewers entertained, but there seems to be a noticeable pattern in the eliminations so far: commoners being eliminated. This trend is expected to continue into the 4th week as well.

Haritha Harish, the commoner known as Mask Mank, and actress Flora Saini are in danger of being eliminated from Bigg Boss Telugu 9 this week. People seem to be disliking Harita Harish’s attitude, and his comments towards Akkineni Nagarjuna during the weekend episodes didn’t help his case.

The Telugu viewers say that he trips over his words but won’t stop claiming he’s always right, and that made him disliked by one and all. This time Bigg Boss Telugu has a concept of two houses and two groups, owners and tenants.

0

Featuring the dynamic duo of Hrithik Roshan and NTR, Yash Raj Films’ War 2 hit theaters in August but fell short at the box office. While its OTT release has been confirmed, the digital streaming partner, Netflix, has yet to make to announce the release of War 2.

As said above, the spy action drama starring NTR and Hrithik Roshan sees a disaster result with a 367 Cr gross collection. The surprising thing is the film failed to get even a minimum number of audiences to theaters for the Telugu version.

War 2 Disastrous Result in Telugu: Netflix Release Awaited

Devara’s opening day in Telugu is much bigger than War Sequel’s closing in Telugu, which says how bad the film’s numbers are in Telugu.

War 2 was all set to stream on Netflix from 9th October in all languages. But the platform’s team has yet to announce it and is maintaining silence. The update is expected to come out very soon, and a section of audiences is eagerly waiting for the biggie’s OTT release.

0

It looks like the years-long wait of Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna’s fans has to come to an end. Rumored to be lovebirds for years, the Geeta Govindam lead pair is said to be engaged, and their wedding date is also locked. 

Vijay Devarakonda and Rashmika’s love journey is said to have started almost six years back. Sources suggest that the relationship began during the filming of Dear Comrade (2019). Since then, the duo has continued to tease audiences with occasional hints about their relationship.

Finally, Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna are set to tie the knot, much to the happiness of fans. Reportedly, the engagement happened yesterday in the presence of family members.

Also, the wedding date is also said to be locked, and the buzz is that it will be held at the end of February 2026. The official announcement of Vijay and Rashmika’s engagement and marriage is yet to come.

Idli Kadai Trending Well Across Tamil Nadu

0

Dhanush comes up with his latest directorial, Idli Kadai, in which he is also the lead. The film has been released in Telugu as well, with the title of Idli Kottu. Surprisingly, the film is a washout in Telugu, but Idli Kadai is trending well across Tamil Nadu.

The film’s Telugu version crashed on the opening day itself in Telugu states, and there are not many numbers for the film in Telugu. Even in other territories, the film’s numbers are not very big, but the film is reaching its target audiences. 

Idli Kadai shows good hold in Tamil Nadu

Dhanush’s Idli Kadai is doing well in Tamil Nadu B&C centers, and it is also holding well in A centers. For 3 days the film has collected 25 Cr gross in Tamil Nadu, and the overall worldwide gross for 3 days will be more than 35 Cr. 

Despite facing tough competition from Kantara Chapter 1, this emotional drama by Dhanush is performing steadily in Tamil Nadu. It needs to maintain this momentum and aim for at least 75 Cr+ gross during its full run, as the majority of its collections are coming from Tamil Nadu alone.

Madharaasi OTT: Anirudh Faces Backlash

0

Madharaasi, the latest action thriller from Tamil Cinema starring Sivakarthikeyan and directed by AR Murugadoss, is now streaming on Prime Video. During its theatrical release and now on OTT arrival, Madharaasi has one thing in common: Anirudh facing backlash. 

The film did not work much big on theatricals and just collected around 100 Cr gross worldwide; Murgugadoss’s recent form and low buzz have impacted the collections massively. 

The film is receiving a good response on OTT, as most of the viewers felt it is way better than Murugadoss’s recent films. Yes, there are some flaws in the writing or screenplay, but for most audiences it is working. 

However, there is unanimous criticism of Anirudh for his music. There are some blocks that showed the vintage Murugadoss in the film, but they did not work in the way they had to because of the weak background score.

Normally Anirudh always elevates some blocks to a whole new level with his music, but somehow in Madharaasi his work is not impressive and is facing backlash.

Kantara Chapter 1 BMS Trending Sparks Controversy

0

Kantara Chapter 1 is doing well at the box office and showing a good hold in the entirety of South India. The film is on track for a solid weekend. However, the BMS trend of Kantara has sparked controversy on social media. 

BMS (BookMyShow Ticket Booking App) introduced hourly trending on their platform a few years back. Since then everyone has been using the trending feature as one of the key parameters for a movie’s hold and collections.

If we see Kantara Chapter 1’s BMS trending, it is having an insane trend with selling 60K, 70K, 80K, and even 90K continuously, even on day 2. This trend is bigger than all pan-India films, including Pushpa 2. 

But the film’s numbers are not coming in at that range. For example, yesterday all-India gross for Rishab Shetty’s directorial was 50 Cr, and many films that have collected more than this did not see any massive trend on BookMyShow.

With this, a discussion is happening on the internet, as some sections of trade and movie lovers say that the BMS is exaggerating with hourly sales, while another section says that the movie did not have massive pre-bookings, so all the numbers are coming near the show times.

In a recent interview, producer Naga Vamsi officially said that many producers buy BMS likes and reviews, and he also expressed a doubt about the BMS trending during the release of Mohanlal’s Empuraan time. Now many have joined him, as they also have doubts on the same feature.

Khushbu Disappointed with Her Role in Annaatthe

0

Actress Khushbu is not only celebrated for her talent as an actress but also for her boldness in speaking on any topic. She recently expressed her deep disappointment with her role in Rajinikanth’s film Annatthe.

Khushbu recently shared her disappointment about how her role was shaped up in Annaatthe (Peddanna in Telugu). She revealed that when she first agreed to be part of the film, Rajinikanth’s character did not have a pair. 

Khushbu regrets doing Annatthe

The story was planned in such a way that a girl would have a one-sided love for the hero, while in the second half, Khushbu and Meena’s characters were meant to help him in finding his sister.

However, during the filming, Nayanthara’s character was suddenly introduced in a duet song with Rajinikanth. Khushbu felt that this change lessened her significance in the story and ultimately turned her character into a caricature.

Record Price Quoted for Dragon in Ceded

0

NTR, recently seen in War 2, has already announced an exciting project with Prashanth Neel, rumored to be titled Dragon. The film is already making waves, reportedly being quoted at a record price in Ceded.

Undoubtedly, Ceded is NTR’s strongest territory, where he stands as the leading star among the top names in Telugu cinema, thanks to his massive fan base and market presence.

NTR’s Stardom at display: Dragon getting a record price for Ceded business

Devara’s opening in ceded areas is insane, and it even collected a 30 Cr+ share in its full run and created a non-Rajamouli record, which was later crossed by Allu Arjun’s Pushpa-2. 

The makers of NTR—Prashanth Neel’s project, Dragon—are reportedly quoting 35 Cr, making it the second highest figure of all time after RRR’s business.

Certainly, the biggie, NTR—Neel’s film, can easily achieve the 35 Cr mark with a positive WOM.
