Share

Mahesh Babu’s “Maharshi” premiered last Wednesday and has completed its long weekend run on a decent note.Numbers for premiere shows were shockingly low. It had not able to draw in big numbers the next day.The first day collections coupled with premiere numbers gave the impression that the movie is heading towards all-time disaster.

Luckily, ‘Maharshi’ has seen turnaround of fortunes later. The last three days bringing in more than $200k each day has made all the difference and the overall gross is decent number for a Mahesh Babu movie. The film’s cumulative gross in first weekend (long) stands at $1.4 million.

#Maharshi: Prmrs: $516k Thursday: $177k Friday: $233k Saturday: $296k Sunday: $200k (apprx) Total Weekend Gross: $1.4 Million (apprx)

This is respectable figure but a lot low number for a Mahesh starrer. The film was bought for Rs 11.5 Cr for overseas, it needs to collect about $2.2 million to reach to break-even in USA.

Will this film touch $2 million?

‘Money hungry’ Mega family to commercialise education now!

Share

Mega family starting from Megastar Chiranjeevi, Pawan Kalyan, Allu Aravind, Nagababu to Ramcharan, Allu Arjun, Varun Tej, Sai Dharam Tej etc. have minted crores of money from film industry since 1970s.

They together own assets worth thousands of crores of rupees in the form of palatial bungalows, big farm houses, commercial complexes, luxury cars in Hyderabad, Chennai and other metros.

They have earned so much wealth that it will not vanish even if the next few generations in their family sit idle and simply enjoy life.

But, still there seems to be no end to their ‘money hungry’ tactics.

The mega family is now looking at commercialising education and mint money out of it.

Normally, rich and affluent people try to do social service by giving free education to poor and needy.

But the mega family is planning to set up international schools which collect exorbitant fees even for nursery.

The mega family’s plan to introduce international curriculum like Cambridge IGCSE syllabus, CBSE syllabus for students from nursery to Class V shows they view education as a tool only for rich and affluent sections who can afford lakhs of rupees as fees just for nursery class but have no intention to make it affordable for poor and needy, middle class, who watch their movies madly by spending their hard earned money even by remaining hungry to show their love and admiration towards mega family.

Film and education circles say if mega family had intention to do service for poor and needy, they would have set up affordable shools instead of setting up international schools which only crorepatis can afford.

They would also have adopted few government schools, provide all facilities with their money and provide free and quality education to poor.

The fact that they are setting up international schools with Chiranjeevi as honorary founder, his son Ramcharan Tej as honorary president, Nagababu as honorary chairman shows that the entire family wants to mint money by commercialising school education.

However, to escape criticism of commercialising education, the mega family has offered to give ‘special concessions’ to children of mega fans in these schools.

One wonders, which mega fan can afford to admit their wards in international schools to claim concessions as mega fans mostly come from poorer sections and middle class.

Kamal slammed for ‘first terrorist was Hindu’ remark

Share

Chennai: President of Tamil Nadu Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) unit Tamilisai Soundararajan on Monday slammed actor-politician Kamal Haasan for saying that the first terrorist of independent India was a Hindu.

Campaigning for his party Makkal Needhi Maiam’s candidate for the May 19 Assembly by-election in Aravakuruchi in Karur district on Sunday, Haasan has said: “The first terrorist of an independent India was a Hindu — Nathuram Godse.”

It was Godse who shot dead Mahatma Gandhi on 30.1.1948 in New Delhi.

“I am here to question that killing,” Haasan said.

Reacting to this, BJP leader Soundararajan in a tweet said recalling Gandhi’s assassination now and calling it Hindu terrorism was condemnable.

“Standing amidst minorities in TN by-election campaign, he is lighting a dangerous fire to gain votes by minority appeasement. Kamal didn’t opine on recent Sri Lanka bomb blast, why?” Soundararajan tweeted.

“He (Kamal) threatened to leave India when his film (“Vishwaroopam”) screening was prevented by religious groups! But now he calls himself true Indian! True political acting started now having lost the chances in screenplay,” he said.

“As much as I love staying with you @ITCHotels in all the other cities… I hate staying at #ITCKAKATIYA Hyderabad… No one cares about food being cooked properly or not… No one responds to the calls from duty manager to room service… They seem to be too busy for guests,” the 38-year-old World Cup winning off-spinner wrote.

Harbhajan has time and again turned the clock this season, snaring crucial wickets and helping CSK reach their record eighth final in 10 years (they were suspended for two years).
