Mixed advances For Suriya’s Retro

0

Suriya’s Retro is all set to be released in theaters worldwide in another 24 hours. The film’s advance bookings are having a surprising trend. The film was expected to be a big opener at the box office. However, Suriya’s Retro is having mixed advances.

Because of the actor-director combination, it was expected to have very good overseas advances, but the film’s overseas advances are very low. In Tamil Nadu, the film is carrying good advances and is set for Suriya’s biggest start.

Suriya’s Retro Bookings: Superb in Tamil – Low at others

Even the Telugu markets are seeing low bookings for the film, as the trailer did not work as expected for Telugu audiences. At the same time, the competition with Nani’s HIT 3 is affecting this love action drama a lot. 

Also, the bookings in the rest of the Indian markets are not very big. Suriya’s Retro is having mixed advances, and with this, the film definitely needs unanimous positive WOM to put the box office on fire.

As said above, the Karthik Subbaraj directorial is expected to be the proper comeback film for Suriya, and the advantage is that it is releasing on a public holiday. So, if early shows open with positive talk, then they can gather numbers.

Fans Unhappy With NTR Neel Release Date

0

NTR—Prashanth Neel’s film, tentatively titled Dragon, is one of the most anticipated films for next year, as with the combination itself, the movie carries a massive buzz. The fans are unhappy with the NTR-Neel release date.

The film was initially planned for a 2026 Sankranthi release, which is a very good date as it is a big festival season. But due to a delay in shooting, the film was postponed, and recently, Tark and team officially announced the release date as 25th June, 2026.

NTR Fans are not happy with the release date of NTR-Neel

The June end release does not offer any public holidays at the release time, and normally, it is not a big season to take any advantage. Another issue is that the film has to do well in global markets, but at that period, many big-budget Hollywood films will be releasing in theaters, which will definitely have an impact on overseas releases and some impact on India too.

NTR-Neel Movie’s release date is not such a bad date

So, looking at all these situations, fans are unhappy with the NTR-Neel (Dragon) release date, as they want this film to shake the box office at all markets, and that is why they want it to be released at the best time.

But one advantage for NTR 31 is, as the team locked a normal release date, there will be no competition for the film from any Indian film in all languages, at least for 2 weeks. Prabhas and Nag Ashwin’s Kalki was also released during the same period and joined the 1000 Cr club. So, NTR-Neel definitely has all the chances to repeat the magic.

The recent terrorist attacks in Pahalgam of Jammu and Kashmir, shocked everyone. The Attacks had left 26 people killed and few other wounded. Following this incident, the Government of India made a strong decision to evacuate Pakistani Citizens who are living in India for various purposes. This involves a few people taking medical aid in India who must leave the country. Now, this decision didn’t go well with many people, and one among them is Kollywood Director, T.J. Gnanvel, fame of Jai Bhim and Vettaiyan.

T.J. Gnanavel recently participated in the pre-release event of Tamil film, Tourist Family and said War has become inhumane in today’s times, citing the terror attacks. He also added, saying,” As someone who has studied the Tamil literature, War doesn’t include children, women, animals, and those who are also ill. But, today, there is no security even at a tourist place, and what is more concerning is the decision of the Indian Government to evacuate a Pakistani child who had come for medical treatment in 48 hours.”

T.G. Gnanavel’s words are now going viral, and they have also reflected the plight of people who were dependent on medical aid in the country. There are also calls to exclude these people from this decision. But we have to see how the Government would act on this.

Many star heroes in the recent times have failed to pull audience greatly even with big budgeted flicks. But Nani looks to pull the audience just with his factor which tells the audience’s trust on his judgement skill.
