Bollywood Khiladi Akshay Kumar is all set to lock horns with Mr. Perfectionist Aamir Khan on 11th August. While Akshay is arriving with a movie woven around sister sentiment titled ‘Raksha Bandhan’, Aamir is coming with the Indian adaptation of ‘Forrest Gump’ and it is titled ‘Laal Singh Chadda’. While it is a tough task to compete with Aamir Khan’s film since his movies break records most of the time, the situation is a bit different this time.
The comments made by Aamir Khan about intolerance in 2015 and still haunting him as a few sections of the public are demanding that ‘Laal Singh Chadda’ should be banned. Even Kareena who plays the lead in Aamir’s upcoming film made some controversial statements in the past which are working against ‘Laal Singh Chadda’. Despite Aamir himself coming out and explaining the situation, right wingers are not calming down. They are not ready to watch ‘Laal Singh Chadda’ at all costs. They are even influencing others through social media platforms by starting anti-Aamir Khan hashtags. Aamir faced the same situation during the release of ‘Thugs Of Hindustan’ too but Amitabh Bachchan’s presence in the film limited the agitation.
But the troubles of ‘Laal Singh Chadda’ are working in favour of Akshay Kumar and his movie ‘Raksha Bandhan’ is a complete entertainer with a good dose of emotions. Sister sentiment is the key factor of this film and people who are against Aamir’s film are openly supporting Akshay’s movie. This will have a huge impact on the opening day collections and all ‘Raksha Bandhan’ needs to do is to get a positive talk. On the other hand, Aamir’s film needs a unanimous hit talk right from the morning shows in order to overcome this heat and end up being successful on 11th August. Let us wait and see what happens.

Box Office Watch: Allari Naresh Faces Off Against Dubbing Dominance
As the year draws to a close, audiences eagerly await the final cinematic offerings of 2024. With only a handful of releases lined up, the box office is gearing up for an interesting weekend, pitting Allari Naresh’s Bachhala Malli against three notable dubbing films: UI, Vidudala 2, and Mufasa: The Lion King.
Allari Naresh’s Revival Attempt with Bachhala Malli
Allari Naresh, once celebrated for his versatility, has faced a rough patch in recent years. While Naandhi brought him critical acclaim, subsequent projects failed to replicate the success. His most recent outing, Aa Okkati Adakku, fell short of audience expectations. Now, Naresh returns with Bachhala Malli, an action-packed drama helmed by Subbu.
The actor is optimistic about reclaiming his box office standing with this Christmas release. At the film’s pre-release event, Naresh confidently stated, “Ee Christmas Manadhi” (This Christmas belongs to us), showcasing his faith in the film’s potential.
Competing Forces: The Dubbing Trio
Upendra’s UI Kannada cinema’s creative powerhouse Upendra brings UI to Telugu audiences on December 20. Staying true to Upendra’s signature style, the film explores futuristic themes such as global warming, inflation, unemployment, and artificial intelligence set against a dystopian backdrop. With the tagline “The World 2040,” Upendra’s storytelling is expected to resonate with fans of unconventional narratives.
Vetrimaaran’s Vidudala 2 Tamil director Vetrimaaran’s Vidudala 2, the sequel to the critically acclaimed Vidudala, also hits the screens this weekend. Starring Vijay Sethupathi in a pivotal role, the film dives deeper into the transformation of a humble schoolteacher into a revolutionary leader. Known for his raw and intense storytelling, Vetrimaaran promises an emotionally charged and gripping cinematic experience.
Disney’s Mufasa: The Lion King On the family entertainment front, Disney’s Mufasa: The Lion King arrives as an English-to-Telugu dubbed release. The prequel to the beloved Lion King, this animated film explores the origin story of Mufasa, voiced in Telugu by superstar Mahesh Babu. With additional voice work by Brahmanandam, Ali, and Satyadev, the film has already generated excitement among Mahesh Babu’s fans, who are planning elaborate celebrations.
Who Will Reign Supreme?
Each of these films brings distinct strengths to the table. While Bachhala Malli represents a vital opportunity for Allari Naresh to reconnect with his audience, the dubbing films come with their own appeal—be it Upendra’s unique cinematic style, Vetrimaaran’s raw storytelling, or Disney’s universal charm bolstered by Mahesh Babu’s star power.
As the year-end releases roll out, all eyes will be on the box office to see if Bachhala Malli can rise above the dubbing mania or succumb to the competition.
