The GOAT Day 2 Box office collections

0

The GOAT starring Vijay took a sensational opening day worldwide. The film grossed more than 100 crores worldwide. The film held well on Day 2 in Tamil Nadu. But its Telugu version has become a disaster. The early estimates are in the range of 22 crores gross from the Tamil version. Day 2 performance in other launguage territories saw a big drop. The GOAT day 2 box office collection details are below:

The Total All India gross will be in the range of 29 crores. Kerala and Telugu states will be in the range of 1.5 crores. Karnataka and Rest of India are expected to be in the range of 4 crores. Overseas is expected to add close to 25 crores. The total Day 2 gross worldwide will be close to 55 crores. Two days gross of the film will be around 156 crores worldwide.

The film could have scored even more if it had performed well in other language markets. Telugu market which became solid for Vijay in the recent times has given a big shock with the underperformance. The GOAT is also Vijay’s weakest performance in Telugu States since long time. But it looks the film will sail over in Tamil version considering the stardom of Vijay currently.

Devara Trailer decides 150 crore opening

0

Devara starring NTR is slated for release on 27th September worldwide. The film is carrying great hype and expectations thanks to the songs and glimpse released till now. However, for any film trailer stands as the deciding factor to become a hit. Devara’s trailer not only decides this but also the 150 crore opening on the release day.

Devara trailer is reported to release on 10th September in Mumbai. The team of Devara is aiming the Hindi belt market mostly to cash in on the success of RRR, NTR’s previous film. The Telugu version will obviously stands out due to combo and songs factors. So, creating buzz in other markets is necessary to put a 150 crore opening. The film’s trailer would further increase the hype and the film may even go close to 150 crores worldwide.

If NTR gets a 100 crore opening then it would be a big achievement and a great success in replicating RRR result with Devara as a solo Actor. He may also become the only hero after Prabhas to do it with a solo film in Tollywood. There is also a risk if the trailer fails. It may kill the hype that the film created till now. But considering the care of the team till now the trailer for sure will impress the audience.

The GOAT: Fake and Exaggerated numbers

0

The GOAT starring Vijay released yesterday amidst great hype and expectations. The film has also grossed more than 100 crores worldwide. But the Production house has exaggerated the numbers and released a fake poster claiming the film had collected 126 crores. This has gone viral now and some netizens are coming out strongly on the production house.

The film as said has obviously crossed 100 crores worldwide but the makers have exaggerated it by adding more than 25% which looked shocking. Vijay’s previous film, Leo which came close to 150 crores gross was announced exactly by the makers with no exaggeration. But this was not the case with The GOAT. They have come up with 126 crores which goes out of logic.

Netizens are comparing both The GOAT and Jawan on these collections and doubting the performance of The GOAT. Jawan posted 129 crores with a stunning opening in so many screens all over the world but that’s not the case with The GOAT. They couldn’t believe how The GOAT went close to Jawan’s numbers and are ridiculing this on social media. This is not at all a good move by the production house. We have to see if this was only for the opening day or it may continue till the weekend and there on.

Meanwhile, the film is holding well in Tamil Nadu and overseas but underperforming in Telugu States and Kerala. Big losses are expected in this region. Karnataka’s performance looks okayish.

Kangana Ranaut’s upcoming film, Emergency geared up for release today. But the film’s release was halted by Bombay High Court raising concern over certain depictions in the film. The film was also denied certification by the CBFC board recently. Now, Kangana Ranaut has officially announced the postponement of Emergency to some other date.

This didn’t go well with Congress Party and others who took objection. They feel that this was her act of degrading former Prime Minister and her party.

All these have led to the stoppage of release and postponement of Emergency. Kangana took to X/Twitter and said that she had to postpone the film. She said that a new release date would be announced soon and also thanked people for understanding and patience. We have to see if Emergency actually releases amid this amount of criticism and uproar.

35 Chinna Katha Kaadu movie review: Nivetha Thomas is a pleasant surprise in this ‘small film’ with a big message

0

Movie Name: 35
Rating: 3.25/5
Cast: Nivetha Thomas, Vishwadev Rachakonda, Priyadarshi, Arundev, Gautami, Ananya
Director: Nandakishore Emani
Produced By:  Srujan Yarabolu, Siddharth Rallapalli
Release Date: September 5th, 2024,

Nivetha Thomas, Priyadarshi, and Vishwadev Rachakonda starrer 35- Chinna Katha Kaadu has managed to create excellent buzz before its release. The reports from industry insiders have been quite positive and the premiers gave out extremely positive talk. Let’s see if 35 movie manages to make the impact the makers claimed it would.

Story:

Saraswathi (Nivetha Thomas) is married to Prasad (Vishwadev Rachakonda) and leads a happy life in Tirupathi. The couple has two sons Arun (Arundev) and Varun (Abhay Shankar). Troubles in the family’s happy life start when Arun, a sixth-class student starts struggling in Mathematics. This issue further aggravates when his new Maths teacher Chanakya (Priyadarshi) further pressurizes Arun due to his weak academics. He berates Arun by calling him a ‘zero’ and challenges him to score at least 35 to pass the exam. Deeply affected by this, Saraswathi, decides to help her child out and ace the exams. Will she succeed? How do these incidents at school impact the family? This is what the story follows.

Performances:

Nivetha Thomas in a career-defining role has shouldered the movie with terrific maturity. The audience has never witnessed her in such a role and will be pleasantly surprised by each of her scenes. Her performance as a doting mother determined to protect her child against the cruelty of the education system is one of the highlight performances of the year. Vishwadev Rachakonda gives decent support to Nivetha as her husband while Priyadarshi is dependable as ever and delivers another solid performance as a strict Maths teacher. Arundev, the child artist is perfectly cast and showcases the innocence and vulnerabilities of childhood with great ease.

Analysis:

35-Chinna Katha Kaadu has a straightforward plot without any unnecessary deviations. It initially appears to be in a similar zone as Aamir Khan’s Taare Zameen Par, but it eventually forges its own path and tackles a number of significant issues. Although the opening sequences imply that this is a children’s movie, it becomes evident by the interval that this is a movie for everyone with kids just playing the central roles.

Various issues such as the modern education system, children’s psychology, and family support have been showcased with great maturity. The film truly comes into its zone once Nivetha decides to continue her education to become a teacher for her child. 35 has some pacing issues in both halves and Arun and Prasad’s characters could have been shown in detail. That being said, it is a movie that can be enjoyed with the whole family. 

Positives:

  • Nivetha Thomas
  • Vivek Sagar’s music
  • Emotional scenes in the second half
  • Casting

Negatives:

  • Pacing issues in both halves
  • Some scenes might feel boring

Verdict:

35 Chinna Katha Kaadu is a perfect family drama with something to take home for everyone. The kids would enjoy it so would adults. It’s a movie that highlights several vital issues that we all face and is highly relatable. Walk into your nearest theatres if you’ve been longing for a feel-good family drama.
