Thammudu Is a Bigger Disaster Than Robinhood and Extra Ordinary Man

0

Nithin, who is facing a tough phase of his career with continuous failures, came up with Thammudu, an action drama directed by Sriram Venu. Thammudu becomes a bigger disaster than Robinhood and Extraordinary Man.

The actor’s last releases, Extra Ordinary Man, Robinhood, and Thammudu, could not even get decent openings despite being made on huge budgets.

Thammudu: An Utter Failure at the Box Office

Shockingly, the three movies failed to gather respectable numbers in theaters overall and ended up with a single-digit closing share. 

Following his previous releases, Nithin’s Thammudu becomes a bigger disaster than Robinhood and Extraordinary Man.

If we go back, Nithiin’s movies like Rang De and Macherla Niyojaka Vargam were also box office failures, but they did some respectable numbers even after bad reviews. But his last 3 recent films could not do so.

The shocking part is Thammudu’s worldwide closing share is just around 2.5 Cr, which is lower than Robinhood and Extra Ordinary Man’s final numbers. 

A 75 Cr budget film ending up with a 2.5 Cr share is a truly shocking thing, not only for the producers but also for the trade.

Athadu Re-Release Faces Heat from New Films

0

Mahesh Babu’s recent re-release, Khaleja, worked well at the box office, and his fans are eagerly waiting for his birthday re-release. However, Athadu Re-Release faces heat from new films.

Certainly, Superstar Mahesh is the biggest star when it comes to re-releasing films. As said above, his latest re-release, Khaleja, is a huge blockbuster, and his Murari still stands as the biggest grosser in re-releases.

Athadu Re-Release falls on its 20th Anniversary and Mahesh’s 50th Birthday

One of the classic films of Mahesh’s career, Athadu’s re-release was announced on his landmark 50th birthday, which also adds another occasion, i.e., the 20th anniversary of the film, directed by Trivikram.

As Athadu has a huge fan base, it is expected to work very well upon its rerelease. But now with continuous fresh releases next month, it will definitely have an impact.

Mahesh Babu’s Athadu Re-Release will be affected by New Films

Mahesh Babu’s Athadu Re-Release faces heat from new films. From July 24, there are continuous releases of biggies, with the first one being Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu.

Kingdom, War 2, Coolie, and Mandass Jathara are also set to release between the period of the end of July and the end of August.

So, the re-release of Athadu will have an impact on screen count, and finding big audiences for a re-release when multiple new films are getting released will also be very tough. 

Most middle-class audiences cannot spend money on multiple films at a time.

In a normal scenario, also, the re-releases work big in the dry period, but from the end of July, the theaters will be heavily crowded with biggies.

0

Aamir Khan released a film in theaters after 3 years with Sitaare Zameen Par, which was a success at the box office. Meanwhile, he plans something more exciting. Aamir Khan’s Mahabharat begins this August.

The Laagan actor has officially confirmed that he will kick off the work on his long-awaited Mahabharat project this August.

“Well, I’m starting work on Mahabharat in August. It will be a series of films—back to back—because you can’t tell the Mahabharat in just one film. And you know, the Mahabharat is very dangerous. It’s a story that runs in my blood. No one can do anything about it—I need to tell it. So I’m starting work on it.” – Aamir Khan

This epic film is expected to include many stars from all industries, and certainly, it will also be the costliest project in Indian cinema. 

Aamir Khan’s Mahabharat begins this August, much to the excitement of fans, and everyone is eager to know who will play the lead roles in this epic movie.

SS Rajamouli’s dream project is to do Mahabharat, which might have some impact because of Aamir Khan’s film. We need to wait and see if the actor showcases Mahabharat with his vision.

0

Hrithik Roshan and NTR’s War 2 created superb hype among audiences, as it has a massive collaboration of one of the biggest stars from the North and from the South as well. War 2 is all set to shatter all Bollywood records at the box office.

The film completed its entire shooting and is gearing up for a grand worldwide release on August 14. Despite the competition from Rajinikanth’s Coolie, the makers are going with a big screen count.

Yash Raj Films, a reputed and one of the strongest production houses in Bollywood, is already on a hunt to secure the maximum number of theaters everywhere.

Due to the cast/combination and the franchise factor of the YRF Spy Universe, the film produced a lot of anticipation. It is expected to open with never-before numbers for a Hindi film.

Hrithik Roshan and NTR’s War 2 is all set to shatter all Bollywood records at the box office. Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan stands as the biggest opener for Bollywood with a 130 Cr gross on day 1.

War 2 is estimated to take 175 Cr+ to start at the global box office. No Bollywood film has collected 100 Cr net on day 1, but this spy action drama War 2 is expected to achieve this because, from the Hindi and Telugu markets in India alone, it can take 100 Cr+ opening.

The team plans grand promotions and will start them soon. The Ayan Mukerjee directorial is likely to take the buzz to the next level with the promotions.
