0

Mahesh’s Khaleja was a disaster at the time of its initial release, 2010. However, the film built a separate fan base over the years, which is showing up on its re-release. Khaleja 4K sets new re-release records in overseas markets.

Khaleja 4K New Records Overseas

  • First-ever film to collect $100K in the USA
  • First-ever film to collect ₹1 crore in overseas markets

With the announcement of the re-release itself, fans were heavily excited about this film’s return to big screens again. The advance ticket sales were superb, and the day 1 collections also came out excellent.

As said above, Khaleja 4K sets new re-release records in overseas markets. The film once again proved Superstar Mahesh Babu’s stardom overseas, and more is expected from his next re-release, Athadu.

Directed by Trivikram Srinivas, Khaleja tells the tale of a common man fighting corporate greed. Raju (Mahesh) is a taxi driver who reaches a remote village in the North Andhra region called Paali, which incidentally is sitting atop billions of dollars’ worth of iridium.

It is widely known that after a long time, actor Manchu Manoj made a comeback in movies with Bhairavam. He acted alongside Bellamkonda Sreenivas and Nara Rohith. Manchu Manoj faces criticism for his performance in Bhairavam, while the other two receive praise.

Manoj definitely helped the movie’s buzz due to ongoing issues around him, and even his fun moments during promotions went viral, and the film got noticed by audiences. However, in the movie, the actor failed to get a positive response.

Manchu Manoj Faces Heavy Criticism For Bhairavam

Bellamkonda Sreenivas scores first in the film, followed by Nara Rohith, as audiences are impressed with their performances. But Manoj did not get the expected appreciation, as audiences felt he went overboard in many scenes.

His dialogue diction appeared very dramatic and loud for the viewers. “Even though the scenes do not require intensity, he goes overboard unnecessarily,” a viewer said. Manoj faces criticism for his performance in Bhairavam, while the other two receive praise.

Not only audiences but also the critics felt that Manoj’s performance was not that great, and they put his acting in negative points for the film. Manchu Manoj needs to take this feedback seriously and needs to rectify the mistakes in his next films.

Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu had a long journey in the shooting stage, facing multiple delays. Finally, the film is arriving in theaters in another 10 days. Producer AM Ratnam stated that the Hari Hara Veera Mallu Climax was shot on a 20 Cr budget.

It is widely known that the film’s trailer has not been released yet. The producer has given a few interviews as part of the promotions. In a recent interview, he said that the Hari Hara Veera Mallu climax was shot on a 20 Cr budget.

The action sequence, which comes at the end of the film, took many shoot days, and after that fight, there is said to be a big grand sequence as a lead to part 2. The first part of the film is titled Hari Hara Veera Mallu—Part 1: Sword vs. Spirit.

Also, the VFX for HHVM has been crafted by Alzahra Studio, the team behind films like Baahubali 2, RRR, and 2.0. The producer of the film is quite confident in the film’s output, and the fans expect a wonderful experience from it.

As said above, the film’s trailer is not out yet, and the songs also did not click much. The USA Bookings are just okay as of now. HHVM needs a banger kind of trailer to raise the expectations among audiences.

It is widely known that the re-release trend has been a successful one for Telugu cinema. Chenna Keshava Reddy was one of the old movies which were released again. Now, Balakrishna’s Lakshmi Narasimha re-release is set for June 7th. 

Balayya’s Chenna Keshava Reddy was one of the initial films in the re-release trend, and the fans celebrated it with a few special shows. However, the re-release of Samara Simha Reddy did not work well, and the same can be said about Narasimha Naidu.

Balakrishna’s Lakshmi Narasima Grand Re-Release On June 7th

All eyes are now on Balakrishna’s Lakshmi Narasimha Re-release is set for June 7th. The film was one of the best commercial films in the career of NBK, and it has a good chance to work massively at the theaters.

The action entertainer is getting released next weekend, and only one dubbed film, i.e., Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam’s Thug Life, will be in theaters. So Balayya’s movie will have a good screen count for its re-release.

Telugu Audience reject Kanguva and Retro

0

Kollywood Actor Suriya enjoyed a strong popularity across the Telugu States once. However, the Actor struggled later with back-to-back failures at the box office, taking a toll on his stardom here. Suriya put high hopes on his recent biggie Kanguva and made plans for a big comeback. But the theatrical result was disappointing, and its Telugu OTT performance also shocked many.

He recently came up with Retro, and the box office result was also the same. The makers believed Retro’s OTT performance would surely compensate them but it also had to face the same rejection. Telugu Netizens posted that Retro was unbearable giving it a big no.

This is surely alarming for Suriya and he must bounce back hard. All his hopes will be on his upcoming film, tentatively titled Suriya46, directed by Venky Atluri. The Pooja Ceremony of the film was also started recently.

Karnataka Film Chamber bans Thug Life

0

Kollywood Veteran Actor Kamal Haasan and his upcoming film, Thug Life, are surrounded by a big controversy. The Actor made news recently by stating that the Kannada language originated from Tamil in the Audio Launch event of Thug Life. This had hurt the feelings of people of Karnataka, who demanded an apology, to which Kamal Haasan refused.

Netizens also started a trend on X/Twitter to ban Thug Life in Karnataka unless Kamal Haasan apologizes. But Kamal Haasan took this light and opined that he wouldn’t apologize for what he said, which took the issue further. The Karnataka Film Chamber has officially banned Thug Life in Karnataka now. It is also learnt that all the films of Kamal Haasan will be banned until further notice.

This is surely unwarranted, and Kamal Haasan should have avoided the controversy in the first place. The team of Thug Life is also silent regarding the matter, and the film is slated for release on June 5th worldwide. We need to see if Kamal Haasan tenders the apology and puts the issue to rest.

0

Bellamkonda Sreenivas came up with a new action drama, Bhairavam, this Friday. The film is not a solo lead hero film, as Manchu Manoj and Nara Rohith also play the lead roles alongside him. But Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas shows an unexpected dominance in Bhairavam.

Both Manoj and Nara Rohith have good screen presence in the film, and them being seniors to Sreenu, the Alludu Seenu actor, clearly dominated them. Especially in the challenging episodes of Interval and Climax, where he gets divine trance, Sreenivas acted very well.

Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas impress with his performance in Challenging Scenes

Undoubtedly, his performance became a big asset to the film. Before the film’s release, the audiences doubted whether Sreenivas could pull off such challenging scenes. But surprisingly, he did it convincingly and received a unanimous positive response.

In that way, Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas shows an unexpected dominance in Bhairavam. Even at the box office, his brand in masses is working well for the movie, as it sees good numbers.
