Can Vijay Devarakonda Beat Nani’s Tier 2 Record?
Nani’s ‘Dasara’ movie has left a resounding impact, emerging as the most significant opener in the tier 2 heroes category with a noteworthy 19.4Cr share. This achievement showcases the actor’s substantial fan following and ability to draw audiences to the theaters.
Now, the spotlight shifts to Vijay Deverakonda’s much-anticipated film ‘Kushi,’ sparking the question of whether it will surpass this record-breaking feat. With the frenzy surrounding ‘Kushi,’ it wouldn’t be surprising if the movie shatters the existing record.
Vijay Deverakonda’s unique energy and compelling aura have consistently magnetized audiences, evident from the exceptional pre-business figures the film has garnered. The pre-business details reveal that ‘Kushi’ has clinched a remarkable 20Cr pre-business in the Andhra region, coupled with a significant 15Cr valuation for the Nizam territory.
The collective pre-business for the Telugu states has surged past 40Cr, while the Overseas market has contributed an additional 7Cr. These impressive pre-business numbers indicate an unprecedented anticipation for the film, transcending regional boundaries. With such massive backing from distributors and audiences alike, ‘Kushi’ is poised to make an explosive entry into the box office.
As the film gears up for release, the industry and fans awaiting to witness whether Vijay Deverakonda’s ‘Kushi’ will indeed rewrite history by eclipsing the opening record set by Nani’s ‘Dasara’ movie.

The film unit recently unveiled Saif’s character poster, portraying him in a black ensemble and distinctive long hairstyle. The poster affirms that “Devara” will revolve around an intense power struggle between Devara and Bhaira.
Recent discussions on social media have sparked intrigue, suggesting that the two might be depicted as estranged brothers.

Dubbing Films To Set Tollywood Box Office On Fire!
Previously, not many Tamil films used to perform exceptionally at the Telugu box office. Barring Rajni and Kamal’s films in the 90s, other Tamil flicks did not get good reception. But everything changed after the 2000s. The quality of Telugu films dipped during that period and Tamil dubbed movies like ‘Chandramuki’, ‘Ghajini’, ‘Aparichitudu’, ‘Sivaji’, ‘Rangam’, ‘Robo’ and many others have gained huge collections in Tollywood. Directors like Shankar, KV Anand and Murugadoss came up with interesting movies which captured the interest of the Telugu audience.
The dubbed films became so popular that Telugu movies started getting affected by them. But the situation has changed over the last decade as Telugu films are arriving with a lot of quality and grandeur. At the same time, the Tamil films have failed to impress the Telugu audience which made the market fall down drastically. But they are slowly gaining momentum once again. In the last year or so, movies like ‘Vikram’, ‘Varasudu’, ‘Viduthalai’, ‘Bichagadu 2’ and others did wonderfully. Even a few Kannada films have done exceptionally well.
Rajnikanth’s ‘Jailer’ which was released recently has had a gross of over 50 crores already. The demand for Tamil dubbed films has increased lately and it has become quite evident. This proved to be a big plus point for the upcoming releases. Vijay’s ‘Leo’ is arriving during the Dasara season. Vijay’s market is increasing steadily over the past few years. With Lokesh Kanagaraj being the director, the craze multiplied on the movie. Also, stars like Arjun Sarja, Sanjay Dutt, Trisha and others are also a part of this movie.
If this film gets positive talk, it may end up as the biggest hit during the Dasara season. Another movie ‘Kanguva’ is arriving soon and we all know the huge stardom Suriya has in Telugu. The teaser raised the expectations on the movie heavily and it is going to be released in a grand manner. The trade pundits predict that ‘Kanguva’ and ‘Leo’ are going to get huge openings in the Telugu market this year.
‘Liger’ Having Zero Effect On Rowdy Hero!
A lot of netizens call Vijay Deverakonda as ‘Attitude Ka Baap’. He entered the film industry as a nobody and turned into one of the crazy young heroes with a huge following. This is not just because of his acting potential. His offscreen attitude which connected well with the younger set of audience brought him a lot of followers on social media. His promotional strategies, own merchandise and other things made him the talk of the town within a short time.
He is very unique when it comes to promoting his movies. He played the memes onscreen which were targeted at him, he pays the entire canteen bill when he visits a theatre, he distributes free ice cream on his birthday and dances on stage as well. No one knows what to expect from him on the stage. His speeches have a separate craze too as he connects with the youth instantly with his talking style. He followed his own style for ‘Liger’ promotions as well. But his elevations for the movie did not match the content which resulted in huge trolling.
Mainly, he said that he will count the collections right after 200 crores which stunned many. The movie ended up being a huge disaster which made Vijay go completely silent. He even became a bit emotional on one occasion. Many thought that the effect of ‘Liger’ is quite huge on Vijay’s behavior and he will not be the Deverakonda of before.
Now that ‘Khushi’ is getting released on September 1st, he is back to his regular style again. Though he is at his limits at the beginning, he reminded everyone of the real Vijay Deverakonda at the ‘Khushi’ musical concert. After looking at the stunts he did with Samantha, people realized that Vijay Deverakonda did not change a single bit. While some people loved it, some definitely did not. While these aggressive promotions might bring hype on the movie, the result depends on the content. Let us see what happens.
Harold Das From ‘Leo’ Having Similarities With Rolex!
Jasmine Mary Joseph who is referred to as Meera Jasmine in the film industry has stolen the hearts of many youngsters during the 2000s. During her glory days, Meera Jasmine never opted for heavy skin shows and meaty roles even in big hero films. Her lovely looks have charmed many and she did a lot of films in Malayalam, Tamil and Telugu. She is known for many hit movies like ‘Pandem Kodi’, ‘Gudumba Shankar’, ‘Bhadra’, ‘Yuva’ and many others.
She slowly faded away due to unknown reasons. She was still acting in a couple of Tamil and Malayalam films but never returned to Tollywood. She recently made a comeback with a small role in ‘Vimaanam’ and the ‘Gorintaku’ actress is seen scorching up the internet with some glamorous photoshoots. Meera Jasmine is 41 years old and she looks very young even today.
The recent reports suggest that she is all set to romance Sree Vishnu in his upcoming movie. Sree Vishnu gave a strong comeback with ‘Samajavaragamana’ and recent rumors claim that Meera Jasmine is the leading lady beside him in his next flick. Sree Vishnu is two years younger than ‘Pandem Kodi’ heroine but it is not the issue. Sree Vishnu is doing a film titled ‘Swag’ and Ritu Varma is the heroine in it.
Apparently, Meera Jasmine is going to be seen as a second female lead with a shade of negativity. If it turns out to be true, it will be an interesting choice from Meera Jasmine. Let us wait and see if Meera gets back into Tollywood with a bang or not.
Manipur Gets Freedom Of Watching Films On August 15!
It is known that the Northeastern state of Manipur has been burning for the past few months. We have been seeing tense situations in the state and many heart-wrenching incidents were reported. The heat of the violence even hit the Parliament and we saw heated arguments on the Manipur violence.
Amid this, the Indian state came out of the ban on films on the eve of Independence Day. When the whole nation celebrated Independence Day, the “Uri: The Surgical Strike” movie was screened at a theatre in Churachandpur and the screening saw big crowds.
Media reports say that the screening of the movie was planned by Hmar Students Association (HSA) and it was planned in a bid to oppose the ban on screening Hindi films that was imposed by ‘The Revolutionary People’s Front’ in 2000.
After a long gap of 23 years, a Hindi film was screened in Manipur and people welcomed the screening and people gathered in big numbers for the screening. Indigenous Tribal Leaders’ Forum said that they are showing their love for the country with the film screening.
Reports say that the last movie that was screened in Manipur is Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and a ban on the movies was imposed by the Meitei terror group. After the ban was imposed in 2000, cassettes of the movies were also destroyed.
When so much is happening in the state, people there are said to have got their Independence of watching movies. Moreover, freedom was achieved on August 15. Those who planned the screening said that with this they went to give a strong message that they won’t fear anyone. Though a ban on Hindi films was imposed, there is no clarity on the reasons behind this.
Talking about Uri: The Surgical Strike is a war film that is based on the Surgical Strikes carried out by the Indian Para (Special Forces) in response to the 2016 Uri attack. Vicky Kaushal played Major Vihaan Singh Shergill in the film.ha in TTD : నిఘా నీడలో భక్తులు కాలినడక సాగుంచేలా చర్యలు
