No theatre shut down in Telugu States

Recently, the theatre management of Telugu States has decided to shut down the theatres starting from June 1st. They opined that the current system of a rental basis doesn’t work and demanded that the Producers allow for a percentage basis system. Regarding this, they met the Distributors and a few Producers from Tollywood today.

Now it has been learnt that there will be no theatre shutdown in Telugu States as per the plan of the theatre management. Instead, the discussion and talks will go on with the operation of the theatres. An agreement has also been made, as per sources, during this meeting. It is reported that nearly 40 Distributors have attended the meeting.

The recent bad phase of films in the theatres has also prompted the Exhibitors to come hard at the Producers. We have to see if the Producers would agree for this demand. Meanwhile there are many big films lined up in the month of June. Now, the makers of these films breathe a sigh of relief.

Thudarum and Tourist Family’s OTT release halted

Recently released films, Thudarum starring Mohanlal and Tourist Family starring Sasi Kumar and Simran, rocked the box office. Both became surprising hits, shocking the trade analysts. According to the agreements, these films were to be streamed this week, but with the exceptional performance in the theatres, the OTT arrival has been halted for now.

Leading OTT Giant, JioHotstar, acquired the OTT rights of both films. The Producers of both films are learnt to have contacted the OTT team and requested to allow the theatrical screening of the film for a few more weeks. As per the plan, Thudarum should be streaming today and Tourist Family will have to arrive on May 28th.

Since both films are raking in good revenue in the theatres, the makers expect more to pump in. If all goes well, Thudarum and Tourist Family will be streamed on JioHotstar only at the beginning of June. Till then, there is no stopping for either film. Thudarum has already grossed nearly 225 crores worldwide, and Tourist Family is nearing the 75 crores gross mark.

Shocking: War 2 Teaser views disappoint

War 2 starring Hrithik Roshan and NTR is one of the most anticipated films of both Bollywood and Tollywood. Fans and Audience have been waiting eagerly for the Teaser, which released yesterday on the occasion of NTR’s birthday. Many expected that the Teaser would be mind-blowing and also bring record views, but shockingly, it received a disappointing response.

The Hindi Teaser has managed to clock more than 20 Million in 24 hours on YouTube. Whereas, the Telugu Teaser garnered nearly 4.5 Million Views in 24 hours from the combined channels of YRF. This is very low compared to NTR’s previous film, Devara‘s views. Devara’s Glimpse alone garnered more than 25 Million Views in 24 hours, creating a record. But, even with a star cast and franchise hype, War 2 couldn’t establish a record in both Bollywood and Tollywood.

Definitely, this is not what the team expected. But, they should consider this feedback and come up with interesting content for the Trailer. Already, there is a lot of trolling and criticism over the VFX portions in the Teaser, which is not good. The team must concentrate on presenting proper output for War 2 to build the hype. The film is slated for release on August 14th worldwide.

Poonam Kaur fires again: Says Industry people shielding Trivikram

Tollywood Actress Poonam Kaur, who often pens cryptic posts on her social media accounts, has come out strongly against Director Trivikram once again. The Actress had accused the Director multiple times of causing significant harm and also lodged a complaint against him. She also used many occasions to target Trivikram, projecting her issue.

Now, the Actress has once again fired at Trivikram. She posted a story on her official Instagram handle, which states that she had filed a complaint to Actress Jhansi, whom she says had ignored her request. Kaur also added that Trivikram was being protected by the Film Industry’s bigwigs and revealed that she would speak to the women’s group on the issue.

This came as a shocker to many who couldn’t believe the inefficiency of the Industry’s women’s wing in this matter. This neglection will surely raise many doubts over the protection of women workers in the Industry. Noted Dance choreographer, Jani Master was recently booked in a similar case when his female staff made allegations of exploitation. But, this action is missing against Trivikram, which approves Poonam Kaur’s allegations of negligence.

Mayabazar re-releasing in big screens – A Timeless Classic returns

Mayabazar, released in 1957, stood as a Classic in Telugu Cinema.

Mayabazar will be re-released on May 28th on the occasion of NTR’s 102nd Birth Anniversary. Directed by K.V. Reddy, the film was produced by Nagi reddi and Chakrapani under their Vijaya Vauhni Studios banner. NTR’s role as Lord Sri Krishna impressed the audience greatly and also brought critical acclaim. ANR, SVR, and Savitri’s roles, along with the cinematography and songs, also received immense appreciation from the audience over the years.

A pre-release event about the re-release of the film was conducted yesterday, where a few noted Tollywood celebrities participated. The dignitaries remembered the legends from the film and also appealed to make the re-release a big success, just like the success of its remastered print.

Balakrishna as a Ruthless Cop in Jailer 2?

Jailer 2 starring Rajinikanth is the most awaited sequel in recent times in the South Indian Film Industry. The film’s prequel, Jailer became a massive hit, grossing more than 600 crores worldwide. Currently, the shoot of Jailer 2 is ongoing and the team expects that it has all the potential of grossing 1000 crores worldwide. The Glimpse released also raised great expectations.

Now, the latest buzz is that the team has designed a special role for Tollywood Actor Balakrishna in the film. It is also speculated that Balakrishna will be playing a powerful Police officer with a screen time of around 10-15 minutes. Rajinikanth too plays the role of a Police officer in Jailer, which was shown in the flashback. So, Netizens expect that there might be a connection between both in this aspect.

But if Balakrishna comes on board, then it will really be huge for the team and the film. Currently, the Actor is riding with back-to-back successes, and his addition to Jailer 2 will be an asset undoubtedly.

Thug Life Overseas Breakeven 18 Million USD – A Big Target

Certainly, this feat is possible for this combination if the film gets positive reviews. Previously, films like Leo, Jailer, and Ponniyin Selvan 1 and 2.0 collected more than 20 million overseas, as Tamil cinema has a huge overseas market.

Thug Life needs to join the above-mentioned club to achieve breakeven. Not only overseas, the film has been sold for huge prices in all areas, and it has to break Vikram’s collections to achieve the break-even point itself.

Thug Life skips early OTT

Thug Life starring Kamal Haasan and Simbu is gearing up for release on June 5th worldwide. The film’s Trailer has been released and the team is preparing for the promotional activities of the film. The makers of the film have announced the OTT policy. Interestingly, Thug Life skipped the early OTT streaming.

Thug Life will be streamed after 8 weeks of its theatrical run. The makers have confirmed this and also declared that Netflix, the OTT partner, agreed to it. This gives big advantage for the film. With an 8 week gap window period, Thug Life can enjoy a good theatrical run and it may also have a big Hindi release as this 8 week gap period is mandatory in the North Indian belt.

If Thug Life succeeds in this plan of streaming after 8 weeks, then other films may also opt for the same. Recently, many Pan Indian biggies have been opting for a 4-week window and this has to change for the ideal theatrical performance.
