0

Game Changer’s lack of updates is now frustrating fans to no end and testing their patience. Earlier last month Thaman had officially stated that Game Changer 2nd single would be out by August end. This was later postponed and the team announced that the 2nd single would come out in September. No dates were given this time around much to the fan’s frustration.

Half of September is over now. Forget about the single the team did not even confirm the date when it will be released. Shankar and co. are killing the buzz of Game Changer by continuously postponing the updates.

Even in the latest poster also the team did not confirm the release date. There was a time when Shankar was known for big promotions and for creating a massive buzz on the film before its release. But in recent films with 2 Point 0, Indian 2, and now Game Changer he is continuously failing to create massive buzz on the film and attracting negativity.


The GOAT – 14th South Indian Film In 400 Crore Club!

0

Thanks to the groundbreaking films of S. S. Rajamouli, the market for the films made in South India has surged big time. The Telugu biggies, in particular, have been doing huge business in the Hindi belt. Having said that, here is the list of non-Hindi films that are part of the elite INR 400 crore club.

  • Baahubali: The Beginning (2015)
  • Baahubali: The Conclusion (2017)
  • 2.0 (2018)
  • Saaho (2019)
  • RRR (2022)
  • KGF: Chapter 2 (2022)
  • Vikram (2022)
  • PS-1 (2022)
  • Kantara (2022)
  • Jailer (2023)
  • Leo (2023)
  • Salaar: Part One: Ceasefire (2023)
  • Kalki 2898 AD (2024)
  • The Greatest Of All Time (2024)

As you can see, ‘Thalapathy’ Vijay’s sci-fi drama The GOAT has emerged as the 14th South Indian film to mint over INR 400 crore worldwide. Considering the hype around it, Jr. NTR’s Devara: Part One is very likely to extend this list.

Devara Targets Salaar!

0

Jr. NTR’s Devara: Part One is weeks away from a grand theatrical release. Written and directed by Koratala Siva, the film carries a good buzz among audiences primarily due to its star cast and Anirudh’s foot-tapping songs.

Taking about its numbers, Devara must collect a worldwide gross of INR 400 crore to emerge as a ‘hit’ or to achieve breakeven. However, to gain a ‘blockbuster’ status, it must mint over INR 500 crore.

These are huge numbers for any Indian film. If observed, it can be found that Devara will be targeting the full run figures of Prashanth Neel’s Salaar, which grossed over INR 600 crore worldwide. If the action drama does beat the Prabhas-starrer, it’ll be a highly profitable venture, and of course, there’ll be huge hype for Devara: Part Two.

All it takes is the positive word-of-mouth upon release for Devara to mimic the success of Salaar in the Telugu, Hindi belt, Kerala, Karnataka, and overseas. Let’s see how the Tarak’s biggie will fare at the ticket window very soon.

The GOAT Set to Smash Vikram, Heads for All Time Top 5

0

The GOAT performed extraordinarily well on 2nd weekend in Tamil Nadu and Overseas. The movie collected more than Rs 40 Cr gross in Tamil Nadu in just its 2nd weekend which is proof of how strong it’s marching towards big numbers in Tamil Nadu.

Overall, the Tamilnadu gross for 11 days is around Rs 180 Cr and it will cross 200 Cr this week. The GOAT is now heading toward the all-time no.1 grosser here. Currently, Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan part 1 holds the top position with 225C+ gross.

Coming to worldwide collections, this Venkat Prabhu project has grossed around Rs 400 Cr after 11 days and is all set to cross Vikram (Rs 425 Cr) this week. With this, The GOAT will enter the Kollywood all-time Top 5 grossers behind 2 Point 0, Jailer, Leo, and Ponniyin Selvan 1.

The GOAT, which is Thalapathy Vijay’s penultimate film before he enters active politics is projected to cross the 450 Cr mark now. The film will just miss out of the Rs 500 crore landmark due to outright rejection in Kerala and Telugu states where it has performed quite poorly.
