Are Vijay Fans Killing Parasakthi?

0

Tamil cinema lovers and the media were very excited about the Pongal box office clash between Jana Nayagan and Parasakthi. However, Vijay’s film did not release due to censor issues, while Parasakthi, directed by Sudha Kongara, made it to theatres. Following this, Sudha Kongara accused Vijay’s fans of harming her film.

Jana Nayagan was originally scheduled for release on January 9. Parasakthi, which was first announced for January 14, was later moved to January 10. This change led to heated debates and fan wars on social media. Later, both films faced censor-related problems. While Sivakarthikeyan and Sudha Kongara’s Parasakthi cleared the issues and was released, Vijay’s Jana Nayagan is still stuck in court.

Parasakthi opened with mixed word of mouth. In response, Sudha Kongara made a strong statement in an interview, claiming that Vijay’s fans were trying to damage her film. She said that her team was facing severe slander and defamation from anonymous social media accounts. She also quoted a tweet that read:
“Getting a certificate from the CBFC is not a big deal. First go and apologize to Anna’s fans and get an apology certificate from them. You still have one week. If they forgive you, Parasakthi will run.”

Sudha Kongara directly blamed Vijay’s fans for spreading negativity about the film. However, in reality, this may not be entirely true. While a small section of fans might engage in online negativity, a genuinely good film cannot be stopped by anyone. Fan wars alone cannot decide a movie’s fate at the box office.

After Atlee, Allu Arjun has once again placed his trust in a Tamil director, this time Lokesh Kanagaraj. Buzz around this exciting combination has been going on for the past few months, and the official announcement is expected to come tomorrow. This project is said to be a dream project for Lokesh Kanagaraj.

Mythri Movie Makers, the production house, has already hinted at the project and teased fans with the line, “The real Bhogi will be on the timeline (January 14).”

Anirudh will be composing the music for this film, which has made fans very happy, as Lokesh continues his successful collaboration with him. Allu Arjun had earlier wanted to work with Anirudh after Pushpa 2, but that did not happen with the Atlee project.

Now, Allu Arjun will finally fulfill his wish of collaborating with Anirudh through another Tamil director, Lokesh Kanagaraj’s film. Fans are eagerly waiting for the official announcement.

0

Ravi Teja’s Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi arrived in theaters today, and the film had low pre-release buzz, which affected the film’s first- day box office collections. But the good thing is that the audience’s word of mouth for the film is decent

The film started with very little advance booking and below-par noon shows. However, the collections improved with each passing show, and the night shows recorded superb occupancy. Overall, this is a pretty ordinary opening for the film, and Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi’s first- day collections at the box office are estimated to be just around 5 crores.

Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi Needs to Score Big During the Festival Days

The movie needs to collect 40 crores gross for breakeven, and to achieve this , the film needs to see bigger jumps from tomorrow, utilizing the advantage of the festival holidays. The positive sign is that the movie is carrying decent word of mouth from audiences and that its rights were sold at very reasonable prices.

The negative sign is that the movie is not carrying big advances for tomorrow despite it being a festival day, and it needs a huge number of walk-ins to register solid collections.

0

Apart from Chiranjeevi’s vintage performance and Anil Ravipudi’s entertaining direction, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu impressed audiences by using the popular song “Sundari” from Dalapathi, composed by Ilaiyaraaja, in the romantic track featuring Chiranjeevi and Nayanthara.

At the film’s success meet held today, director Anil Ravipudi clarified that Ilaiyaraaja will not file any case against the film’s team. He explained that the makers of Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu personally met the legendary music composer and informed him about using his song in the film. Ilaiyaraaja was happy with the idea and gave his approval. Anil Ravipudi also stressed that there will be no issues if filmmakers properly approach the music director and take permission.

In recent times, news about Ilaiyaraaja filing cases against film teams for using his music without approval has gone viral, and this has led to debates on social media. Because of this, when audiences noticed the use of the “Sundari” song in a key romantic sequence in Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, many wondered whether Ilaiyaraaja would take legal action against the team.

But the MSG team has now clearly stated that there will be no such issues. Their statement also supports Ilaiyaraaja’s stand on protecting his musical rights.
