0

Nani’s HIT The third case had a good 3rd day at the box office. The film was released in theaters worldwide on May 1st, and it utilized the public holiday advantage to its fullest potential. HIT The Third Case crosses 70 Cr gross in 3 days.

The crime thriller maintained a similar range on day 3 from day 2 worldwide, with around 16 Cr gross collection. The night shows were affected by the IPL match in India.

HIT 3 Box Office: Sunday Expected to be a Big Day for the Film

The film has collected 71 Cr gross worldwide in three days. Today, advance bookings are promising, and it is expected to have a bigger day at the box office. Big territories, Nizam, Overseas, ROI, and Uttarandhra are expected to achieve breakeven by today itself. In other territories, it will need another 3-4 days.

Nani’s HIT The Third Case crosses 70 Cr gross in 3 days, and the movie is all set to achieve the 100 Cr club by the 1st week itself at this trend.

100 crore mark looks tough for Retro

0

Retro starring Suriya released amid very good hype and buzz. However, the film secured a mixed review in the Tamil version and a below-par review and word of mouth in the Telugu version on the opening day. Still, Retro managed to open big with nearly 33 crores gross worldwide, but the performance on Day 2 is not promising.

The film, as said, saw a drop on its second day and collected only around 14 crores gross worldwide, taking the 2-day worldwide gross to 47 crores. It also seemed to witness only a negligible jump today, and doesn’t look good enough to post a solid weekend performance. With this trend, the film may collect around 75 crores by this weekend. After the weekend ends, Retro may find it difficult to continue the momentum on weekdays with this performance.

So, likely, Retro may not reach the 100 crore mark worldwide and may end up below this figure. Kanguva, Suriya’s previous venture, somehow managed to cross the 100 crore mark worldwide despite receiving poor and negative reviews. Kanguva did mostly well in Telugu, Hindi, and other language markets, apart from its Tamil version. But, Retro has no solid performance in the other language markets, implying a lesser final run than Kanguva.

Hit 3 Two days Overseas Box office collection

Hit 3 starring Nani released recently, and the film is on a record spree. It managed to open with nearly 38 crores gross worldwide, surpassing Nani’s previous best, Dasara. North America is the best-performing territory for the film in the Overseas market. The film has collected nearly $1.5 million there in just 2 days.

Hit 3 is also the 4th film to achieve a $1.5 million for Nani in the US. In Oceania, the film has collected $105K, and in the Middle East, it collected $ 70 K. In the UK and the Rest of the World, Hit 3 collected nearly $230K, which takes the total Overseas gross to $1.9 Million. The film’s Overseas break-even is valued at around $2.8 million.

Hit 3 is all set to cross this breakeven mark comfortably by this weekend itself. The film is also on track to become Nani’s biggest grosser in the Overseas market. The film is also expected to cross the 150 crores gross mark worldwide if the same momentum continues for a few weekends. Surely, this is a resounding victory for Nani and the team of Hit 3.

Retro Pre-Release Event Controversy: Vijay Deverakonda Explains His Remarks

0

Actor Vijay Deverakonda received a police complaint over his comments on tribal people. A lawyer from Hyderabad, Lal Chauhan, filed a complaint against Vijay for his remarks at the Retro pre-release event. Vijay Deverakonda explains his remarks as he releases an apology letter.

During Suriya’s Retro Pre-Release event, Vijay talked about the Pahalgam terrorist attack and condemned it. He then called out Pakistan and terrorists, stating, “India doesn’t even need to attack Pakistan because Pakistanis themselves are fed up with their government and will attack them if this continues. Asalu 500 years back tribals kokkutunnatu, veelu buddi lekunda, minimum common sense lekunda chese panulu. (They behave like tribals did 500 years ago, fighting without common sense.)

This led to an uproar as some people felt the actor did not speak correctly and demanded an apology. Vijay Deverakonda explains his remarks as he releases an apology letter.

Deverakonda said, “There was absolutely no intention to hurt or target any community, especially our Scheduled Tribes, who I deeply respect and consider an integral part of our country.” “I was speaking about unity, about how India is one, our people are one, and how we must move forward together.” “In what world would I, while urging us to stand united as a country, deliberately discriminate against any group of Indians?” 

A terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, killed 28 tourists and injured many on April 22. Many celebrities condemned the attack and urged the government to act against the terrorists. During Suriya’s Retro Pre-Release event, Vijay recalled his visit to Pahalgam during the Kushi shoot two years ago.

Adipurush, starring Prabhas, released in 2023, had Bollywood Actor Saif Ali Khan playing the antagonist role, Ravana/Lankesh.

But before and after the release, Saif’s character and portrayal met with criticism. There were many trolls made on his look in the film as well. Now, he finally talked about this.

Saif Ali Khan said that he was watching Adipurush recently with his Son and realized that it was a bad experience. He also added that his Son felt like he was made to watch it, and stated he understood this immediately. The Actor also said that he had apologized to him for playing the role. These words are now going viral on social media platforms.

As said, Saif’s look and portrayal in the film were trolled heavily when they came out officially in the Teaser and Trailer. Even after the release of the film, this didn’t change, and many felt he was underutilised by the Director, Om Raut. A few of his scenes from the film were also edited and visually changed after few trollings. Now, Saif would have observed all these, regretting his decision to come on board the film.

0

Lyca Productions emerged as one of the top production houses in South Indian cinema. But it had a series of continuous failures and lost crores of money. According to the reports, Lyca Productions plans a powerful comeback.

After a big failure like Vidaamuyarchi starring Ajith, the production went into a much worse position, and as said above, there was news that Lyca would be completely shelving the production of films after the completion of two ongoing projects.

One among them is Indian 3, and the other one is Sundeep Kishan’s movie under Vijay’s son Jason Sanjay’s direction. However, recently, there was again news that Lyca is not shelving, and they are in discussions with all the stars who have previously worked with the Lyca banner.

Now the news is that Lyca is joining hands with a big Bollywood production house and plans to produce multiple big films in the coming years. Actors/stars like Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, Suriya, Simbhu , Lawrence, and many other heroes are said to be on this list.

Lyca Productions plans a powerful comeback. Their attempt is definitely good, but the production also needs to correct many steps from okaying the script to completing the shooting in the planned budget for the revival.
