Kantara Chapter 1 Two Days Collections: Area Wise Details

0

Rishab Shetty’s spiritual action drama, Kantara Chapter 1, maintains a super strong hold on day 2, and the area-wise collections are excellent for the film. Overall, the film has collected around 150 crore gross in two days.

The good thing is, the day 2 collections are almost similar to the opening day, with a total of 29 Cr gross in Telugu states, while the home state, Karnataka, is the best-performing territory for the film, as it gave 40 Cr gross till now. 

In Tamil Nadu also the film holds good and takes the total gross to 11 Cr, and we can say the same about Kerala, which showed an extraordinary consistency with a gross of 10.5 Cr.

Overall, if we add the area-wise collections for Kantara Chapter 1, the total South India gross for 2 days is 90.5 Cr. In the Hindi belt, the film sees a drop on day 2, with the North India gross being 34 Cr for two days.

So, the total India gross will be close to 125 Cr, and the overseas performance is also a bit disappointing for the film. The 2-day overseas gross is likely to be in the range of 25 Cr, taking the total worldwide gross to 150 Cr.

0

Diwali 2025 promises to be an exciting time for Telugu cinema, with Kiran Abbavaram’s K-Ramp and Siddhu Jonnalagadda’s Telusu Kada leading the competition. In total, four films are set to entertain audiences this festive season.

Last year, Dulquer Salmaan’s Lucky Baskhar, Kiran Abbavaram’s Ka, and Sivakarthikeyan’s Amaran performed exceptionally well in theaters during Diwali, even with simultaneous releases.

Can Diwali 2025 repeat the magic of 2024?

Now, the Telugu film industry is looking forward to recreating that magic in 2025 Diwali with K-Ramp and Telusu Kada.

Pradeep Ranganathan, who delivered a smashing hit with Dragon earlier this year, is coming with Dude during Diwali. Premalu fame Mamitha Baiju stars as the female lead in this film, which is produced by Mythri Movie Makers.

GA2 Pictures’ Mithra Mandali also arrives during the same period, and it will be the first one to be released in all four films on October 16th.

Bigg Boss 9 Telugu 4th Elimination: Another Common Man Out

0

The Bigg Boss 9 Telugu show is keeping viewers entertained, but there seems to be a noticeable pattern in the eliminations so far: commoners being eliminated. This trend is expected to continue into the 4th week as well.

Haritha Harish, the commoner known as Mask Mank, and actress Flora Saini are in danger of being eliminated from Bigg Boss Telugu 9 this week. People seem to be disliking Harita Harish’s attitude, and his comments towards Akkineni Nagarjuna during the weekend episodes didn’t help his case.

The Telugu viewers say that he trips over his words but won’t stop claiming he’s always right, and that made him disliked by one and all. This time Bigg Boss Telugu has a concept of two houses and two groups, owners and tenants.

Featuring the dynamic duo of Hrithik Roshan and NTR, Yash Raj Films’ War 2 hit theaters in August but fell short at the box office. While its OTT release has been confirmed, the digital streaming partner, Netflix, has yet to make to announce the release of War 2.

As said above, the spy action drama starring NTR and Hrithik Roshan sees a disaster result with a 367 Cr gross collection. The surprising thing is the film failed to get even a minimum number of audiences to theaters for the Telugu version.

War 2 Disastrous Result in Telugu: Netflix Release Awaited

Devara’s opening day in Telugu is much bigger than War Sequel’s closing in Telugu, which says how bad the film’s numbers are in Telugu.

War 2 was all set to stream on Netflix from 9th October in all languages. But the platform’s team has yet to announce it and is maintaining silence. The update is expected to come out very soon, and a section of audiences is eagerly waiting for the biggie’s OTT release.

0

It looks like the years-long wait of Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna’s fans has to come to an end. Rumored to be lovebirds for years, the Geeta Govindam lead pair is said to be engaged, and their wedding date is also locked. 

Vijay Devarakonda and Rashmika’s love journey is said to have started almost six years back. Sources suggest that the relationship began during the filming of Dear Comrade (2019). Since then, the duo has continued to tease audiences with occasional hints about their relationship.

Finally, Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna are set to tie the knot, much to the happiness of fans. Reportedly, the engagement happened yesterday in the presence of family members.

Idli Kadai Trending Well Across Tamil Nadu

0

Dhanush comes up with his latest directorial, Idli Kadai, in which he is also the lead. The film has been released in Telugu as well, with the title of Idli Kottu. Surprisingly, the film is a washout in Telugu, but Idli Kadai is trending well across Tamil Nadu.

The film’s Telugu version crashed on the opening day itself in Telugu states, and there are not many numbers for the film in Telugu. Even in other territories, the film’s numbers are not very big, but the film is reaching its target audiences. 

Idli Kadai shows good hold in Tamil Nadu

Dhanush’s Idli Kadai is doing well in Tamil Nadu B&C centers, and it is also holding well in A centers. For 3 days the film has collected 25 Cr gross in Tamil Nadu, and the overall worldwide gross for 3 days will be more than 35 Cr. 

Despite facing tough competition from Kantara Chapter 1, this emotional drama by Dhanush is performing steadily in Tamil Nadu. It needs to maintain this momentum and aim for at least 75 Cr+ gross during its full run, as the majority of its collections are coming from Tamil Nadu alone.

Madharaasi OTT: Anirudh Faces Backlash

0

Madharaasi, the latest action thriller from Tamil Cinema starring Sivakarthikeyan and directed by AR Murugadoss, is now streaming on Prime Video. During its theatrical release and now on OTT arrival, Madharaasi has one thing in common: Anirudh facing backlash. 

The film did not work much big on theatricals and just collected around 100 Cr gross worldwide; Murgugadoss’s recent form and low buzz have impacted the collections massively. 

The film is receiving a good response on OTT, as most of the viewers felt it is way better than Murugadoss’s recent films. Yes, there are some flaws in the writing or screenplay, but for most audiences it is working. 

However, there is unanimous criticism of Anirudh for his music. There are some blocks that showed the vintage Murugadoss in the film, but they did not work in the way they had to because of the weak background score.

Normally Anirudh always elevates some blocks to a whole new level with his music, but somehow in Madharaasi his work is not impressive and is facing backlash.

Kantara Chapter 1 BMS Trending Sparks Controversy

0

Kantara Chapter 1 is doing well at the box office and showing a good hold in the entirety of South India. The film is on track for a solid weekend. However, the BMS trend of Kantara has sparked controversy on social media. 

BMS (BookMyShow Ticket Booking App) introduced hourly trending on their platform a few years back. Since then everyone has been using the trending feature as one of the key parameters for a movie’s hold and collections.

If we see Kantara Chapter 1’s BMS trending, it is having an insane trend with selling 60K, 70K, 80K, and even 90K continuously, even on day 2. This trend is bigger than all pan-India films, including Pushpa 2. 

But the film’s numbers are not coming in at that range. For example, yesterday all-India gross for Rishab Shetty’s directorial was 50 Cr, and many films that have collected more than this did not see any massive trend on BookMyShow.

With this, a discussion is happening on the internet, as some sections of trade and movie lovers say that the BMS is exaggerating with hourly sales, while another section says that the movie did not have massive pre-bookings, so all the numbers are coming near the show times.

In a recent interview, producer Naga Vamsi officially said that many producers buy BMS likes and reviews, and he also expressed a doubt about the BMS trending during the release of Mohanlal’s Empuraan time. Now many have joined him, as they also have doubts on the same feature.
