Hindi Belt also added as a strong zone for the film apart from the Telugu version which performed decently. It also became the highest Mollywood grosser in the Hindi belt with a double-digit Nett collection.

0

Game Changer opened to a below par reviews which shocked the team. The film had a decent opening however. But it saw a dip in the collections on Day 2 with the poor word of mouth. Game Changer 2 Days Telugu Version collections are as follows:

In Telugu States, the film has collected close to 8 crore share including GST. The Total worldwide Day 2 Telugu version share is around 11 crores. For 2 days, the Telugu version share will be around 61 crores. The Theatrical rights are valued at 165 crores and the film needs miraculous jump in the Sankranthi festival to recover the buyers.

But with the release of Daaku Maharaaj today, the advance for its 3rd Day are not good and are expected to be less than Day 2 numbers. The Sankranthi festive advantage will be starting from tomorrow and the makers of Game Changer must expect all positive to witness a hit. But the indication is not encouraging so far.

Daaku Maharaaj released today amid great buzz and the film also opened to positive reviews from fans and the audience. The film also witnessed a huge surge in walk-ins because of Saturday’s advantage in the USA. The below-par review of Game Changer has also helped the film big. Daaku Maharaaj is expected to start with around $550K range premieres itself in America. The film also stands as a record opener for Balakrishna in America.

Earlier, Veera Simha Reddy opened with $709K which was a sensational start for him. With Daaku Maharaaj receiving positive reviews and word of mouth, it is poised to do big in America. There are also high chances of the film reaching $2 Million there. It also depends on the next film in the line, Sankranthiki Vasthunam starring Venkatesh.

Sankranthiki Vasthunam also has a good set of expectations and is a family entertainer. So, Daaku Maharaaj must keep up with this film to establish as a good hit overall. Let’s see what happens on January 14th.

Daaku Maharaaj Movie Review: Balakrishna’s Feast

0

Movie Name: Daaku Maharaaj
Rating: 2.75/5
Cast: Balakrishna, Bobby Deol, Shraddha Srinath, Pragya Jaiswal, Urvashi Rautela and others
Director: Bobby
Produced By: Suryadevara Nagaavamsi
Release Date: 12th January 2025

Daaku Maharaaj is the latest film from Nandamuri Balakrishna, who is riding high with back-to-back successes. The film’s director is Bobby, who scored a blockbuster with Waltair Veerayya. The film’s posters and promos made the fans go crazy and let’s looke how the film has been shaped up.

Story:

Daaku Maharaaj’s story is about Seetharam, a civil engineer, and the unforeseen circumstances that made him transform into two different personalities, Daaku Maharaaj and Nanaji.

Performances:

Balakrishna is very good in all three dimensions of his character. There is one particular emotional scene in the second half, which shows his acting caliber as a senior actor. Shraddha Srinath gets the second-best character in the film, and she does complete justice to it. Pragya Jaiswal, Sachin Khedhekar, and Makrand Deshpande were fine while Urvashi Rautela was just present for a song and two scenes.

Analysis:

The movie starts strong by establishing many powerful links right from the beginning. The entire first half is thoroughly engaging and stylish, consistently filled with high moments. Balakrishna is terrific in the film, and the elevation scenes work exceptionally well. In the second half, the much-anticipated Daaku Maharaaj portions fall slightly short, with regular and predictable drama leading up to the climax. However, Bobby does his best to include high-energy scenes regularly, keeping the audience engaged

Positives:

  • Balakrishna’s terrific screen presence  
  • Elevations and action blocks
  • Stylish First Half
  • Cinematography
  • Thaman’s BGM

Negatives:

  • Weak Villain Backdrop
  • Flat and Predictable Second Half
  • Repetitive Scenes

Daaku Maharaaj Movie Review and Verdict:

Daaku Maharaaj is definitely worth watching in theaters for Balakrishna’s terrific screen presence and Thaman’s explosive background score. Bobby delivers a commercial entertainer that works big for the masses. However, for other audiences, it might feel average.

Game Changer Day 2 Box office

0

Game Changer released amid huge expectations fell short with below-par word of mouth. The film collected around 86 crores gross on the opening day. On Day 2, it saw a very big drop in Telugu States. In Tamil, the film saw a drop, and the same is the case with the Overseas market. But in Hindi, the film’s hold on Day 2 was good and on par with the opening day.

Overall on Day 2, the film is expected to collect only around 35 crores gross worldwide which takes the total gross around 120 crores for 2 days. The Breakeven gross is at 450 crores which is a huge target. The Advance bookings for tomorrow are even less than the bookings of Day 2. This is a dangerous sign for the film and the team.

It needs to be seen how the film performs from here on with the competition from Daaku Maharaaj and Sankranthiki Vasthunam. The Festival advantage must help the film but if the other films receive a positive talk then it’s game over for Game Changer.

Daaku Maharaaj breakeven details and Advance bookings

0

Daaku Maharaaj is slated for worldwide on January 12th. The film’s team has promoted the film well in the recent days. The buzz and expectations are also very high for the film. The breakeven mark of Daaku Maharaaj is 80 crore share. The Advance bookings look decent to good as of now.

The film is expected to take a good opening but may not put a record in Balakrishna’s career. The film must also emerge as Balakrishna’s career biggest share film to become a hit. The word of mouth is sure to play a key role for the film. If the initial word of mouth is positive then Daaku Maharaaj will definitely see huge walk-ins with the advantage of Sunday release.

Game Changer’s below-par review and underperformance may also act as a big advantage for the film. The team is also hoping to cash in on this opportunity to establish a big record for the film.

Game Changer ticket hikes and special shows cancelled

0

Game Changer was recently granted permission for special shows and ticket hikes by the Telangana Government. This was earlier doubtful with the Government’s decision to discontinue the permission. The film has also opened with hiked ticket prices but these are now to be cancelled from January 16th following the Court’s order.

The High Court of Telangana has recently passed interim directions to review the permission granted by the Government for the film. So, the Government after this observation has withdrawn the accordance. It is also made clear that the Government wouldn’t allow any early morning shows henceforth.

The film will have the regular pricing methods from January 16th i.e., ₹295 and ₹177 for Multiplexes and Single Screen theatres. This will definitely be a big blow for the film in the state.

Ganesh said that Vijay called Anil Ravipudi and asked him to direct the remake of his own film, but the director denied it as he does not want to work for a remake. Thalapathy 69 Leaks became the most interesting thing in Sankranthiki Vasthunam Musical Night.

While Ganesh was going on with his speech, Anil Ravipudi interrupted him and asked him not to talk about Thalapathy Vijay’s film, as the producers did not announce it as a remake. But VTV Ganesh appreciated Ravipudi for not accepting a film with such a big star and cited that there are many directors who are waiting to work with a star like Vijay.
