Exhibitors must set OTT release rules, not Film makers

OTT platforms are becoming a reason for some of the film’s underperformance at the box offices. The early release strategy is making Audience to not visit the theatres. We also see Producers, Distributors and Actors blaming OTT for this but they are not bothered. They are going ahead with the business by selling their films as 4 week theatrical window to the OTTs. As Tollywood is not able to control this, Exhibitors must set the OTT release rules.

Due to the business mindset, film makers are unable to stop this OTT deals. Four week OTT deals must not be controlled by Producers, Directors or Actors but by the Exhibitors. Exhibitors need to unite and establish a rule for a minimum gap between the theatrical release and OTT release. They must come up with a plan similar to how the Bollywood films manage it for the national multiplexes.

Every film relies on the Exhibitors and they need to enforce the rules for the OTT release window to screen the films in the theatres. This would greatly save the films and the Industry as well. Recently Aamir Khan took a brave step of not selling his films to OTTs before the release. He will do this only after his films finish their run in the theatres. Other Actors must follow him in this aspect.

It took a great opening in Tamil Nadu and continued the same momentum later till now. The third weekend also looks promising. The film by grossing 200 crores became the third film to pull off the record after Ponniyin Selvan 1 and Leo. Trade also expects The GOAT to become the biggest grosser of Vijay in Tamil Nadu. The film needs to put more big numbers to beat Ponniyin Selvan 1 atleast for one more week.

The total worldwide gross of the film is more than 430 crores. The film has also become the 5th highest grossing Tamil film beating Vikram. The film looks unable to touch the 500 crore mark.

Devara: The Comeback of Andhra Pradesh Cinema Market

A few years back, Andhra Pradesh was the biggest market for Telugu cinema. The 6 Territory’s market was equal to or even more than the combined of Telangana and Ceded. Mid-night shows, hiked prices and other special shows gave massive opening numbers to several films till a few years ago.

But recently, G.O. to control ticket prices and no midnight shows put the Andhra market in the backseat while Nizam with the midnight shows permission and a big hike in ticket prices marched ahead. With this, the movies started collecting significantly more in Telangana than entire Andhra Pradesh.

Now Andhra market is all set to bring back the olden days with Devara. As per an official GO, the movie got permission for 6 shows on opening day including midnight shows and 5 shows from day 2. The hike is Rs 135/- for Multiplexes, and Rs 110/- for single screens balcony along with a Rs 60/- hike in single-screen second class for two weeks. A huge opening is now expected for Devara and if the talk is positive, then the sky is the limit.

Akhil puts continuous pressure on himself

Tollywood Actor Akhil, also the son of Actor Nagarjuna made his debut with Akhil which released in 2015. The Actor has not achieved a big success till now. All his films ended up being flops or below average at the box office. From the beginning, Akhil spoke great words about his films before release but saw the disappointing results later. This way he is being applying continuous pressure on himself.

His recent film Agent failed miserably at the box office. It’s been more than 1 and half year and yet there is no announcement of his next film. Yesterday, Nagarjuna on the occasion of his father and Legendary Actor, ANR’s 100th Birth Anniversary had conducted an event. Nagarjuna said that they were preparing to present the ANR Annual Award to Chiranjeevi this year. Akhil was also present in the event but refused to speak.

Nagarjuna said that Akhil didn’t want to speak to the fans and mentioned that Akhil had promised to speak to the fans only after giving a big hit with his film. This is not right. This unknowingly puts a pressure on Akhil. What is he doesn’t score hit with his next film as expected? Will he be mute and quiet his entire life? So, this is not a correct way to deal with the flops. He must take care of the scripts and films he chooses. This way of challenging is not needed at all.

Jani Master’s Case: Allu Arjun in the Spotlight

Allu Arjun previously made a wonderful speech at the success meet for the film ‘Baby’ to urge more women to enter the film industry, assuring them of a secure and supportive environment. His statements have now taken actual form since he has promised to include the victim of the Jani Master harassment case in future productions as well as those produced by Geetha Arts. However, the megafans appear to have a different perspective on this. They believe Allu Arjun made this step solely because Jani Master is a Janasena activist.

A case was filed recently against Keshav alias Jagadish, who played a crucial role in the film ‘Pushpa’. Jagadish tormented a female junior artist by sharing her images with someone else, prompting her suicide. In this case, the police arrested Jagdish and put him in jail. However, Allu Arjun did not respond in any way, or at least did not dispute it.

Jani Master has recently been quite active in the Janasena party. Mega fans believe that Allu Arjun reacted to Jani Master case only to throw mud at Janasena. If Allu Arjun has a big heart for the film business, why didn’t he respond to Jagdish’s case? People are questioning his sympathy and condemning him for targeting the mega family indirectly.

Sai Dharam Tej’s Actions Backfire

Sai Dharam Tej had earlier supported Janasena during the AP Assembly Elections and also campaigned for Pawan Kalyan alongside Varun Tej and other young heroes. While other heroes campaigned and moved on, Sai Dharam Tej didn’t and his statements and social media posts have put him in a tough spot.

His posts like “State is in safe hands” after the TDP-Janasena victory has made him a social media user target. Several netizens have started questioning him when anything goes wrong in the state.

If that was not enough, his selective social-issue stand has also attracted great criticism. Recently he raised his voice against a YouTuber for making objectionable comments and memes regarding child abuse. While it was commendable, people are now expecting him to voice out on big issues as well. definitely.

Sai Dharam Tej has not spoken a single word on the Jani Master issue and his silence on such a big matter has attracted widespread criticism. Netizens believe that this selective outrage and targeting only non-industry people only is not acceptable.

Prakash Raj said that it was Pawan Kalyan who happens to be the Deputy CM of AP and he must establish an enquiry into the alleged activity in the temple. He said that Pawan Kalyan must order to find the culprits and take stringest action insteading of spreading apprehensions and blowing up the issue nationally. Prakash Raj also opined that the country was witnessing communal violence beacuse of Pawan Kalyan’s alliance friends meaning the BJP Party.

Prakash Raj’s counter has attracted great amount of likes and views. This tweet of Prakash Raj has really come as a surprise. It needs to be seen if Pawan Kalyan responds to this tweet. Prakash Raj has been vocal against the BJP party since long time. He doesn’t miss out on any opportunity of criticising BJP. So he did it again by countering Pawan Kalyan.
