The team of Pawan Kalyan’s OG is completely messing up at the last minute due to improper planning. They have delayed the trailer, and now there are just 2 days left for premieres, but still the content has not reached overseas.

If we look at the promotional material of the film, they are striking gold with everything working well, but there have been continuous tensions about the way they have handled the post-production.

0

The massive blockbuster film Lokah is still surprising everyone with its box office run. After creating many records, this female superhero film completed 25 days in theaters. 

Lokah has gathered 275 Cr in worldwide gross collection for 25 days at the box office. In its homeland, Kerala, the film collected 104 crores, while the rest of India’s number stands at 55 crores, with 116 crores gross overseas.

As said above, the film has achieved several records at the box office and emerged as the biggest Mollywood grosser, and it needs another 25 Cr to reach the 300 Cr benchmark. It also needs 15 Cr to become Kerala’s biggest grosser ever. The trade is confident that it will breach both landmarks looking at the current trend of the film.

Directed by Dominic Arun and produced by Dulquer Salmaan’s Wayfarer Films, Lokah also stars Naslen K. Gafoor, Sandy Master, Arun Kurian, and Vijayaraghavan. Dulquer Salmaan and Tovino Thomas appear in cameos as well.

Producers officially reported that Mirai has collected 134.4 Cr gross for 10 days, while Kishkindhapuri makers announced that their film gathered 27 Cr gross for 10 days.

Mirai and Kishkindhapuri both emerged as hits at the Box Office

According to Track Tollywood’s numbers, Mirai has collected 119 Cr gross, and Kishkindhapuri has collected 21 Cr gross for 10 days at the box office.

There is always a slight difference between trade numbers and producers’ numbers. But the good thing here is that both films have given profits to the buyers, and they also provided a big relief to exhibitors who did not see many hits in recent days.

Madharaasi Celebrates Amid Box Office Struggles

0

Sivakarthikeyan and AR Murugadoss came together for the first time for Madharaasi, which was released on 5th September. The film struggled to do well at the box office, but surprisingly, the team celebrated a success party.

The action thriller opened with weak reviews in Telugu and saw a disastrous result, but in Tamil the film opened with decent reviews and mixed WOM and had a good weekend. But after that, the film completely crashed at the box office and did not pick up even on weekends.

Madharaasi Box Office: A Big Underperformance

The film almost ended its box office run with around 100 Cr gross. Considering the business, budget, and star combination, the numbers are very low, and Sivakarthikeyan’s Madharaasi can even be considered as a flop at the box office.

But surprisingly, the team celebrates a success party in which Anirudh, Sivakarthikeyan, Murugadoss, and others were present. This has shocked the audiences as they wonder that despite the film doing nothing much at the box office, the team celebrates it as a big success.

OG Concert Backlash – Thaman Faces the Heat

0

The OG concert, which happened on Sunday, September 21st, completely turned into a big mess, and undoubtedly no big event was executed in such a poor way before. Music director Thaman faces the heat as the event faces a heavy backlash from the fans. 

The main reason for the negative reactions from the fans is organizing the event outdoors during the rainy season. Now, music director Thaman is facing the backlash for the failure of the OG Concert in industry circles.

OG Concert: Thaman Gave The Idea OF An Outdoor Location

Reportedly, it was the music director who insisted on organizing the event outdoors, as he wants to perform all the songs in a big venue with all audiences cheering for him. The songs of OG received a fantastic response, and Thama S planned the event like a big music concert.

Definitely this is a very good plan from Thaman, as this kind of performance will also increase the films massively. But when you plan such huge things, you need to consider all the factors, which the team of “They Call Him OG” completely missed, and they messed up the event.
