Kaantha Worldwide Box Office Closing Collections

0

Dulquer Salmaan’s Kaantha was released in Tamil and Telugu amidst decent hype, but finally it ended its theatrical run on a disappointing note. Before the release, the film caught everyone’s attention with interesting promos.

The film emerged as a box office failure in Telugu and Tamil. The audiences did not show much interest in watching the film in theaters. In Telugu it received poor word of mouth and reviews but in Tamil it had unanimous reviews but still it did not works.

Kaantha Box Office Collections [Almost Closing]

  • Tamil Nadu : 14 Cr
  • Telugu States : 7 Cr
  • Kerala : 5 Cr
  • ROI : 2.75 Cr
  • Overseas : 8.5 Cr
  • Total Worldwide (Around): 37 Cr

Directed by Selvamani Selvaraj, Kaantha has an interesting plot set against the film industry backdrop, but at the end it received a disappointing result at the box office. 

Though the film did not do well in theaters, the audiences applauded the remarkable performances delivered by Dulquer Salmaan, Samuthirakani, and Bhagyashree Borse.

Tere Ishk Mein 2 Days Box Office Collections

0

Dhanush and Kriti Sanon’s “Tere Ishk Mein” is performing excellently at the box office. The film has collected 16 Cr net in India on the opening day, and Day 2 holds on par with Day 1 and is better than that. 

On day 2 the film has collected around 17 Cr net, taking the total net to 33 Cr in India, while the gross will be around 39 Cr. The film is all set to cross the 50 Cr net mark today in India, and it is all set to become Dhanush’s 1st 100 Cr net film in India. 

The film has been released in Hindi and Tamil, but over 95% of the contribution came from Hindi only.

Until now, the Tamil version has just done around 2 Cr out of 39 Cr for 2 days in India, which is expected for the combination. Tere Ishk Mein targeted the Hindi audiences, and it is on course to become a big hit at the box office

Andhra King Taluka 3 Days Box Office Collections

0

Ram Pothineni’s Andhra King Taluka sees a slight jump on the 3rd day over the 2nd day. On the 3rd day, the film has collected around 5 Cr gross worldwide, taking the total gross near to 16.5 Cr worldwide for 3 days. 

Definitely for the content and reviews it received, the film deserves much bigger numbers, but somehow still it is underperforming at the box office. After 3 days of box office run, the film still did not cross double digit share and has not recovered even 1/3rd of theatrical rights. 

Even overseas, the film initially seems very promising but sees a drop in trend at the box office. I expected Ram Pothineni to get the much-needed success with Andhra King Taluka, but the result has been disappointing. 

Today is a very crucial day for the film, and it has to witness a big jump to collect more than day 1. 

For breakeven, the film needs to collect around 50 Cr gross, but until the first weekend, the film not recovering even 50%, is worrisome. As next week Akhanda 2 is getting released in theaters, AKT achieving a breakeven mark looks like a very tough task.

Andhra King Taluka: Ram’s America Million-Dollar Target Fades

0

Andhra King Taluka is having an unexpected run at the box office. At first, the film had an average opening in India and witnessed a drop in the numbers on the second day. Now, even the USA collections are not coming as expected, making Ram’s million-dollar target fade.

Andhra King Taluka USA Box Office

Premieres: $123K
Day 1: $145K
Day 2: $73K

Looking at Thursday’s numbers, it seemed like Hero Ram was heading for his first million-dollar-mark movie, and he will hit the target this time. The movie also received unanimous positive reviews and a better/suitable genre for USA audiences.

With Ram and Bhagyasri doing the big USA tour, it was easily expected to cross the million-dollar figure. But after Friday’s drop, achieving the million dollars now looks out of reach for Andhra King Taluka.

Even Saturday’s trend isn’t looking great either, and at this pace, the film is likely to finish in the $750K range. While that’s still a good result for the film’s business, Ram Pothineni will have to wait for another movie to achieve his first $1 million film.

Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Next Film Producer Locked

0

A very big drama happened on Lokesh Kanagaraj’s next film after Coolie’s release. According to the initial plan, the director was all set to make Kaithi 2 after Rajinikanth’s film, but things changed after the film’s result, and the producer for his new film is locked now.

Coolie might have collected over 500 Cr gross at the worldwide box office, but content-wise it was criticized, and even the collections are also not great considering the massive buzz and expectations. 

Lokesh Kanagaraj tried to collaborate with Rajinikanth again and discussed it with him, but somehow the superstar was not convinced. With this, everyone expected that the director would make Kaithi 2.

Surprisingly, reports indicate that Lokesh Kanagaraj and his team are developing a script for his next film, which will not be “Kaithi 2.” The team is reportedly writing a script for Allu Arjun, though the actor has yet to commit to the project. Beyond Allu Arjun, Lokesh has reportedly discussed potential collaborations with several other Telugu actors.

Whoever the final hero of Lokesh’s next film is, the movie is reportedly set to be produced by Mythri Movie Makers.

Big Telugu Directors Lining Up for Suriya

0

Actor Suriya may be going through a rough patch at the box office with a series of failures, but his popularity remains intact. He continues to enjoy strong market value, and several Telugu directors are eager to work with Suriya in the coming years.

The Ghajini star once delivered massive hits and built a solid fan base not only in Tamil Nadu but also in Telugu states. Industry insiders believe that just one successful film is enough to bring him back into the spotlight.

Despite recent setbacks, Suriya is still considered a big star with the potential to deliver huge numbers, and this faith in his stardom is why the Telugu industry directors continue to show strong interest in collaborating with him.

Suriya to continue to work with Telugu Directors after Venky Atluri’s Film

At present, Suriya is working with Venky Atluri on a family entertainer, a bilingual project in Telugu and Tamil. The film has already generated impressive business, with its OTT rights sold to Netflix for a record price.

Following this project, Suriya is expected to team up with directors from other languages as well. Reports suggest that Vivek Athreya has narrated a story to him, while Buchi Babu Sana is also keen to collaborate after completing Peddi. In addition, several other Telugu filmmakers and top production houses are said to be in talks with the actor.

Double Dhamaka Creates Tension Among Ravi Teja Fans

0

Dhamaka, starring Ravi Teja and Sree Leela, was released in theaters in 2022 and became a super duper hit at the box office. So, the idea of a sequel for the film should excite fans, but Ravi Tej fans are a bit tense with the news of Double Dhamaka. 

Content-wise, Ravi Teja’s Dhamaka didn’t receive much appreciation, with many feeling it wasn’t a great entertainer. However, the film benefited from its songs and the dance moves of Ravi Teja and Sree Leela. There has been a lot of buzz for the past few months about a sequel to Dhamaka, featuring the same team: Ravi Teja, Sree Leela, People Media Factory, and Trinatha Rao.

Now this buzz is turning strong as the People Media Factory team is said to have registered the Double Dhamaka, which is worrying Ravi Teja fans.

Normally, a sequel to a blockbuster movie should excite fans and audiences. However, this sequel is creating tension among fans, as they feel the film doesn’t have a strong foundation for a follow-up, and Ravi Teja is currently facing criticism for his consistent portrayal of mass films. Consequently, fans perceive “Double Dhamaka” as a risky project at this point.

But it is not yet officially confirmed whether the makers are planning the sequel or if it was just a franchise. But if it’s a sequel, then the team has to excite the audiences with proper promotional content.

Dhamaka didn’t gain much appreciation from social media, but it was a big hit with the general public, so the sequel, if it happens, might achieve the same success.

Akhanda 2 Ticket Rates Revealed for Premieres and Regular Shows in Telugu States

0

The Akhanda 2 team has planned paid premieres on 4th December night at 9 PM throughout India, and the ticket rate details for those shows, along with the regular shows, are out now. The rates are not as huge as the other recent Telugu films. 

In the Telugu states, the team has applied for a 600 Rs flat ticket price, which is definitely very good, reasonable pricing, as all the biggies have screened for 1000 Rs for paid premieres. 

For regular shows in Andhra Pradesh, a ₹75 ticket hike is reportedly being implemented for single screens and a ₹100 hike for multiplexes for 10 days. In Telangana, the makers of the Akhanda sequel may not apply a hike for regular shows or could implement a roughly ₹50 increase.

Akhanda 2 team is not going for much bigger ticket rates for paid premieres or shows, which is a good strategy from the team, and the producers also informed the same.

0

The 12th week of Bigg Boss Telugu 9 was expected to have a double elimination this week as in the last week the elimination did not happen due to Emanuel using the Power Astra. However, according to the buzz, the double elimination is not confirmed, and this week only features a single elimination, with the shoot already completed.

Divya, who received the fewest votes, is reportedly eliminated this week. The remaining contestants are Tanuja, Emmanuel, Kalyan, Pavan, Rithu, Sanjana, Suman, and Bharani.

The 15th week will be the Finale week, and normally, there will be 5 contestants remaining. Therefore, in the next two weeks of Bigg Boss Telugu 9, three elimination episodes must occur, with a high chance of a double elimination, which is most likely to happen next week.

According to this week’s voting trend, Sanjana and Suman are in the danger zone for next week’s eliminations. This week, they need to ensure they are not nominated, or their gameplay must have a massive impact to continue in the house.
