Akhanda 2 Pre-Release Business: Nandamuri Balakrishna's Sequel Sets Massive Break-Even Target Worldwide

Hyderabad, November 21 - The sequel to Nandamuri Balakrishna's action drama Akhanda is all set to hit the big screen on December 5 amid huge anticipation. The first movie, released in 2021, was a big blockbuster and also marked NBK's entry into the 100 crores club. After the big success of Akhanda, Balakrishna hasn't put a foot wrong, and now, the stakes for Akhanda 2 are higher than before. The makers are going all out to promote the film nationwide as they anticipate it to turn a money spinner for them. Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar Creates Strong Buzz: Trailer Storms To Over 200 Million Views Directed by Boyapati Srinu, Akhanda's pre-release business is being locked, and the early numbers suggest that the movie will require unanimous audience support to break even. According to the reports, the film's theatrical rights have been sold for nearly 100 crores in Telugu states, including 55 crores in Andhra Pradesh. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Needless to say, the pre-release business of the film is the highest ever for Balakrishna in the home market. Additionally, the rest of India business is reportedly locked at 8 crores while overseas business is around 15 crores.

The buzz for Akhanda 2 is huge, but it isn't guaranteed for the film's success, especially if the word of mouth is not positive. As has been seen in the past, Telugu movies tend to scummed pretty quickly if the audience reception is not highly favourable. Produced by 14 Reels Plus Entertainment and IVY Entertainment, the film stars Balakrishna in a dual role alongside Samyuktha Menon, Aadhi Pinisetty, Harshaali Malhotra, and others in prominent roles. The movie is scheduled to release on December 5, with previews planned a day before, in multiple languages. Stay tuned...

De De Pyaar De vs De De Pyaar De 2 Opening Weekend Comparison: Ajay Devgn-Starrer Sequel Trails Behind Original

Mumbai, November 18 - Bollywood star Ajay Devgn's latest romantic comedy De De Pyaar De 2 has wrapped up its first weekend with a decent performance, earning around 35 crores net collection. But the sequel has fallen short of the mark set by the original film. The Anshul Sharma's directorial managed to cross the 30 crore mark due to decent growth over the weekend after an average opening. In comparison, the new instalment has fallen short of the original film's opening weekend collection, which had registered approximately 38.50 crore net in its first three days. While the film managed to stay steady after a modest opening day, the growth over the weekend wasn't strong enough to surpass the expectations set by its predecessor. The 2019 release benefited from fresher appeal and strong audience word of mouth, whereas the sequel might be dealing with franchise fatigue as well as reluctant promotion. Despite the performance gap, De De Pyaar De 2 still has a chance to pick up momentum in the coming weekdays. Strong hold in key metros and sustained audience interest in the rom-com genre could help the film achieve respectable numbers in the long run. However, at this stage, the comparison clearly favours the first film, and all eyes are now on how well the sequel can maintain its pace to stay in contention for a solid lifetime total. Check Out Box Office Comparison of Both Films (Net Collection) Day De De Pyaar De De De Pyaar De 2 Day 1 ₹ 10.41 Cr ₹ 8.75 Cr Day 2 ₹ 13.39 Cr ₹ 12.25 Cr Day 3 ₹ 14.74 Cr ₹ 13.75 Cr Total ₹ 38.54 Cr ₹ 34.75 Cr Stay tuned...

Laalo Krishna Sada Sahaayate Becomes Highest-Grossing Gujarati Film After Unprecedented Turnaround

Mumbai, November 15 - Gujarati devotional drama Laalo: Krishna Sada Sahaayate has started the sixth weekend on a strong note, grossing more than the combined total of the first three weeks. The film grossed approximately 3.25 crores on its 36th day, which is an unbelievable collection for any film, let alone a regional title. Directed by Ankit Sakhiya, Laalo has crossed the 50 crores gross mark at the time of writing this piece on its 37th day. The day is heading for 4+ crores gross, which will take its total domestic gross to around 53.50+ crores, making it only the second Gujarati film of all-time to cross the figure after Chaal Jeevi Laiye. Hera Pheri 3 or Bhoot Police 2: Which Is Priyadarshan's Next Directorial? The box office records of past Gujarati films are unavailable, but it is said that Chaal Jeevi Laiye grossed a little over 50 crores. Laalo is expected to be over 53 crores gross at the end of the day, which effectively makes it the highest-grossing film in the Gollywood cinema history. It is hard to predict where Laalo will finish its run, especially since it has had an unprecedented turnaround. As said, it grossed around 1.50 crores in the first three weeks, before it exploded in the 4th week and onwards due to positive word of mouth. It is undoubtedly one of the biggest turnarounds in the history of Indian cinema. Stay tuned...

James Cameron's Avatar: Fire and Ash Official Runtime Revealed: This Is Not What Everyone Thought

Los Angeles, November 12 - James Cameron's sci-fi epic Avatar: The Way of Water is among the longest films ever, with a theatrical runtime of 3 hours and 12 minutes. Well, the maverick filmmaker seems to be in no mood to make shorter films anymore, as his next is even longer. The third Avatar instalment - Avatar: Fire And Ash was going to be longer than The Way of Water, as confirmed by the director himself in an earlier interview. While he didn't reveal the exact runtime back then, Cameron confirmed in an interview with Empire magazine that the next film will be a bit longer. With little over a month to go before the release, the film's official runtime has been revealed, and it is 3 hours and 15 minutes (195 minutes), as listed in AMC theatre chains. The Avatar films are anyway longer than most of the Hollywood titles, as the first film of the franchise, released in 2009, was 2 hours and 58 minutes long and is the highest-grossing film in the history of the worldwide box office, while The Way of Water holds the record for the third biggest grosser ever. One can't expect less when it comes to Avatar movies, and unsurprisingly, the expectations are high from Fire And Ash, which debuts in cinemas worldwide on December 19. Cameron had hyped the movie by calling it better than the first two films, and it would be much higher in action. The movie stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, and Kate Winslet reprise their roles from previous films alongside Oona Chaplin, in prominent roles. There are, at least, two more films in the franchise after Fire And Ash - both scheduled to hit the screens in December 2029 and December 2031, respectively. Stay tuned...
