Trade Talk: Recovery Is Difficult

Share

Sankarabharanam is struggling hard to reach break even. Kona Venkat said his film will do to Nikhil what Dookudu did for Mahesh Babu. The expectations were big and the release was big. But, there was bad news on the first day itself. Negative talk about the movie spread quickly as Kona Venkat’s magic failed to work.

The unit is working hard by going on tours to boost the collections. But since the film was sold for high rates, the recovery is becoming difficult. ‘Size Zero’ released earlier too ended up as a disaster. Though the collections are slowly waning now, Kumari 21 F still managed to achieve super hit status. It is amid these failures that Bengal Tiger came to get super openings on Day 1.

Trade sources say this is the biggest first day opening in Raviteja’s career. There is criticism that Bengal Tiger is a routine fare, but the talk is that it suits the tastes of the mass audience. Will Bengal Tiger roar or not with this mixed talk? It will become clear by next week.

The Forbes India has released its 2015 Celebrity 100 list and once again, Superstar Mahesh Babu has topped the list among the southern film stars. Mahesh secured 36th rank out of 100 celebrities across the country and his earnings for the year 2015 have been revealed as a whopping Rs 51.5 crores.

Mahesh Babu placed himself in the 13th position among the 100 celebrities with highest income, while his popularity (read as fame) rank is 37. Mahesh bettered the national award winning Tamil star Dhanush, who stood next to him at the 78th spot. Mahesh has been constantly placing himself atop the league of leading southern stars for the last few years.

Mahesh earned this unbeatable feat thanks to the blockbuster success of his last release, Srimanthudu, which he co-produced. The film grossed more than 125 crores at the box-office and Mahesh Babu got a lion share from the profits. Apart from films, Mahesh has also been earning handsome paychecks by endorsing leading national brands like Thums Up, TVS and the recent Intex Mobiles.

The whole of Shankarabaranam unit went to Sardaar Gabbar Singh shooting spot in Ramanaidu Studios to make Pawan launch the trailer on YouTube. Now, unit of young hero Aadi’s upcoming flick “Garam” repeated the same.

They went to Prabhas house today evening to get the film’s first trailer launched. Probably after Baahubali, Prabhas is one dependable star for free publicity for anyone. It’s not exaggeration to say that he’s next to Pawan Kalyan in such craze.

Directed by writer Madhan, Garam features Aadi and red hot Adah Sharma in the leads. Of course when Prabhas is launching the trailer, that hot poster on the wall back of him is giving indications of what our hottie did with this film.

Twitter erupted in angry reactions after the Bombay high court acquitted superstar Salman Khan of killing a homeless man in a hit-and-run crash 13 years ago. The HC said a lower court had erred in finding Khan guilty of culpable homicide at the end of his trial in May, when he was subsequently sentenced to five years in prison.

The hashtag #SalmanVerdict was the top trend all of Thursday and was still trending on Friday morning. Internet giant Google has been unwittingly drawn into the discussion online because of its self-driving car project which it says will be road tested and available to the public by 2020.

Salman Khan, who is accused of drunkenly driving over pavement dwellers in September 2002 and killing one, was found not guilty by the High Court.Salman Khan, who will be 50 at the end of this month, was convicted of culpable homicide not amounting to murder and sentenced to five years in jail by a Sessions Court in May. The High Court later granted him bail pending an appeal and has now ruled that he cannot be convicted based on the evidence produced by the prosecution.

The Chennai floods paralysed the lives of its people while the municipal and government administration tried their best to control the damage and being the civil lives back on track. However, one actor who was visibly unhappy with the sad state of affairs unleashed his angst on the Jayalalithaa government.

Legendary actor Kamal Haasan fired on Amma government for its failure in foreseeing the catastrophe and controlling the damage. Kamal also wondered where is all the tax payers’ money is going to. Kamal’s rants were strongly condemned by Amma’s loyal lieutenant Paneerselvam who lambasted him for not even contributing to the relief fund like other stars but still complaining.

The matter got even worse when the municipal authorities reinstated power supply to the entire city after the rains stopped. However, Kamal’s Alwarpet residence and three surrounding buildings were denied power reconnection.

This led to Kamal fans staging a huge protest against the Amma government for its revenge game against Kamal. Finally, the authorities had to bow down to the fans’ pressure and announced that they have resumed power supply to Kamal’s house and the surrounding buildings.

Who is director for Akhil’s second film? From a long time King Nagarjuna is on the hunt for a suitable script and a star director to craft our Akhil’s second movie on ‘Annapurna Studios’ banner alone. This time he doesn’t want to take any chances.

Recently a star director is invited by Nagarjuna to his facility in Jubilee Hills and asked him to narrate one good and happening story for Akhil. The director who made an action sentimental comedy with a big star recently said like this: “There is a story. It will have terrific introduction scene.

Hero and Heroine’s romance will be peaks. Comedy track, independent of the film’s main story is a highlight. Mother sentiment in first half is peaks. A terrific interval, will be followed by twist in second half. Sentiment shifts gears and pre-climax will be kick ass. A simple climax. Is this enough sir?”

That would have shocked Nagarjuna to the core, because most of present day commercial films are seeing with the same pattern of story. And now, guess who that director is. He made this story into a film already.
