0

OG is the biggest grosser for Pawan Kalyan and the biggest grosser of this year for Tollywood, with close to 300 Cr worldwide, and it premieres tonight on OTT. The movie will be streaming from tonight on Netflix in all 5 languages: Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam.

The film did not reach other audiences in theaters and was limited only to Telugu. So, the reach through Netflix is so crucial for Pawan Kalyan’s OG, especially as it needs to reach big in Hindi, as the team has planned to make it a franchise and officially announced both a sequel and a prequel.

Pawan Kalyan’s OG needs to reach larger section of audiences with OTT Release

Due to a 28-day theatrical window OTT deal, the film did not have a release in Hindi multiplexes, and the team also did not put any effort into promoting the film in other languages.

With this, the film received low numbers in Hindi. The team is expecting it will reach a wider section of audiences upon its digital release, and it will help the franchise in a big way.

Kantara Chapter 1’s Tamil Nadu Box Office – A Shocking Blockbuster Success

0

The box office run of Rishab Shetty’s Kantara Chapter 1 is super consistent, and the film amazes the trade with its exceptional run in Tamil Nadu, as it achieved a shocking blockbuster status in that region. 

Kantara Chapter 1 is the prequel for the film Kantara. If we go back to 2022, the first part collected around 400 crore gross worldwide, and the film did very well in Kannada, Hindi, and Telugu. 

The first part’s Tamil version numbers were lower than Kerala’s and others. So, because of this, the expectations on Kantara Chapter 1 running in the Tamil Territories were not so big. 

Kantara Chapter 1 Tamil Nadu: Excellent Performance

But surprisingly, the Tamil Nadu rights of the Rishab Shetty directorial were sold for 32 Cr, prompting everyone to think that it could be a huge loss venture, as the breakeven is valued around 60 Cr.

However, the Tamil Nadu performance of Kantara Chapter 1 surprises everyone. Despite the new releases arriving during the Diwali festival, the spiritual action drama is continuously posting strong numbers.

For 20 days the film has crossed the 60 Cr gross mark in Tamil Nadu and achieved breakeven and entered the profit zone, and it will not settle here and is expected to do more than 75 Cr gross in its full run, as the run is fantastic for the film despite facing new releases like Dude and Bison. 

The best part is, the Kantara prequel has not only performed well in Tamil Nadu, but it also did superb numbers in the overseas territories as well.

Kantara Chapter 1 Box Office: Massive Numbers everywhere except Hindi

Rishab Shetty’s much-appreciated film has put massive numbers in all areas. It grossed 50 Cr in Kerala, a feat that very few dubbed films have been able to achieve. 

Coming to the Telugu States, after KGF 2, Kantara Chapter 1 is the only movie to collect more than 100 Cr gross, and in its homeland, Karnataka, the film is thebiggest grosser of all time as it achieves the 1st 200 Cr mark. 

Only in Hindi did the film register a moderate to decent performance, where it was expected to collect near the KGF 2 range, but it did not do so. Overall, the film crossed the 750 Cr gross mark worldwide and is now heading towards the 800 Cr milestone.

Baahubali: The Epic is creating havoc at the US box office. Till now no re-release has collected 150K in the USA even in its lifetime, but the masterpiece of Rajamouli and Prabhas crosses the figure with the premiere advance sales itself. 

The previous biggest number for a re-release movie was Khaleja with around 120K. But Baahubali: The Epic smashes 150K with just advance sales for premieres, and there are 10 more days to release. This is a phenomenal achievement.

0

There was always a race between Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna from the beginning, and the Megastar led the race continuously.  Now, there is a tug of war between Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna’s films in the Ceeded area. 

At one time Chiranjeevi used to have a big lead over Balakrishna, but in recent years, the former made a massive comeback with continuous successful films, whereas Chiru sees both hits and flops. 

Even at this time, if we compare the businesses, Chiranjeevi’s Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu had a comfortable lead over Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2 in all territories excluding Ceeded.

Ceeded is the strongest territory for Balayya, and it is one of the strong zones for Chiru as well. In this territory, Chiranjeevi’s Mana Sankara Vara Prasad and Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2 business are likely to be the same.

Reportedly, the producers are said to be quoting at 24 – 25 Cr, and the deals are likely to be finalized around 22 Cr.

As per current trends, the overall worldwide business for Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu is likely to be over 160 Cr, while Akhanda 2’s Telugu version is likely to be around 125 Cr.

Here’s What Went Wrong – Naga Vamsi on War 2

0

NTR did not have a failure for a decade, i.e., from 2015 to 2025, and his success streak ended with War 2, which also had a connection with Naga Vamsi, who was a distributor of the film in Telugu states.

The producer Naga Vamsi saw big profits by buying the Telugu states’ rights of Devara and did the same with War 2 but saw massive losses, and he spoke about it during the promotions of Mass Jathara, his upcoming film. 

Vamsi admitted that both he and NTR blindly trusted Aditya Chopra and Yash Raj Films, as they are a big brand in Indian cinema regarding War 2, and it backfired badly. 

He said that he did not produce the film, but he got trolled for the failure of the War sequel. Naga Vamsi said that mistakes do happen, but he did not have any involvement in the film’s making or result.
