Indian Cinema busy with Sleeper Hits in 2022

Indian cinema witnessed drastic changes in the year 2022. After the pandemic, the face of cinema changed in India and the audience are not much bothered about stars. They are keen to watch interesting and unique content. Superficial and regular commercial potboilers are no longer in their watch list. Most of them are not even ready to binge-watch films of stars on OTT platforms if they did not fare well in theatres. There is a lot of embarrassment for Superstars and legendary actors who are on the top for decades. Everyone turned extra cautious before signing their upcoming projects. Akshay Kumar delivered half a dozen flops and this never happened for him in his career. His films are literally struggling to open on a strong note.

Sleeper hits are never a surprise but 2022 witnessed sleeper hits like never before. Pushpa: The Rise, The Kashmir Files, Karthikeya 2 and Kantara proved that content needs no language barrier and stars. Films like Akhanda, Bimbisara, Sita Ramam, 777 Charlie and others are widely accepted by the audience and they made huge money. The success of these films paved a path for several interesting attempts. New-age filmmakers are getting opportunities and the producers are ready to experiment more. Star power is always the USP always but the new-age content with a positive buzz is turning stronger. 2022 is turning out to be a crucial year for Indian cinema and the audience can expect unique and interesting films in the coming days for sure.

Balakrishna’s ‘Akhanda’ completes 175-day run in AP theatre

1

Nandamuri Balakrishna and Boyapati’s hit commercial treat ‘Akhanda’ has now run for 175 days at Chilakaluripeta’s Ramakrishna theatre in Andhra Pradesh.

According to reports, the theatre owners want to celebrate the occasion privately, and Nandamuri Balakrishna is expected to attend. While most people believe that the days of films being honoured for running for 50 or 100 days are over, Balakrishna proves otherwise by achieving this rare feat.

Following the pandemic, the Telugu box office has seen a proper hit for the first time in a long while, and it all started with Balakrishna’s ‘Akhanda’. In some theatres, the film also completed a 100-day run at the box office in March.

Balakrishna is now working under Gopichand Mallineni of ‘Krack’ fame for their highly-anticipated mass entertainer.

We’re Neglecting Haindava Sanathana Dharmam: Balakrishna

1

Natasimha Nandamuri Balakrishna and Boyapati Sreenu completed hat-trick hits in their combination with Akhanda which completes 100 days run in 4 centres, out of which 3 belong to Kurnool district. The team has celebrated Akhanda Kruthagnatha Sabha in Kurnool. It was a big success with massive crowd making presence for the function.

Balakrishna expressed his happiness of celebrating 100 days function, after a long time, as it has become almost an impossible task for movies to complete 100 days run in theatres.

Balakrishna said, “Akhanda’s shoot got delayed, due to corona. We took all the precautionary measures and had good time shooting for the movie. I learnt it from my father that, our films should give message to the society. Due to our busy schedules, we are neglecting Haindava Sanathana Dharmam.

I thank God for giving me the chance to narrate these kinds of stories. Akhanda made entire country proud. We thank every Indian across the globe. I and Boyapati don’t think much about money or budget of movies, we don’t even discuss much about stories of our movies as well. I thank every one who worked for the movie.”

Bheemla Nayak has taken a very good opening in the Telugu States with a distributor share of 25.80 Cr. The film has set All-Time Record in Nizam beating Pushpa but the collections in AP have been affected by the ticket cap restrictions. The film didn’t even release in some centres as the tickets were capped at 30/- which won’t even recover the theatre rents.

The film has taken the best opening post COVID 3rd wave beating Pushpa. In areas like Ceeded, Nellore, Krishna the film has collected less than Pushpa due to the ticket cap restrictions. Even special shows were now allowed to be screened.

January 2022: Poor Start for Tollywood

0

2021 left the film industry in huge losses due to the coronavirus pandemic. The producers are left under huge stress because of the delays and the heaping up interests. December 2021 has been quite good after the month reported three hits in the form of Akhanda, Pushpa and Shyam Singha Roy. The crucial Sankranthi season is badly missed this year as there are no prominent releases except Nagarjuna and Naga Chaitanya’s Bangarraju. January started on a dull note with ten releases and nine flops.

Bangarraju reported decent footfalls during the Sankranthi season because of the stars. Before this, Aasha Encounter, Induvadhana, 1945 and Athididevobhava released during the first week of January. All these films ended up as disasters. Other Sankranthi releases Rowdy Boys and Hero ended up as flops and failed to make an impact. They failed to recover the huge budgets too. Kalyaan Dhev’s Super Machi failed to screen shows as they were no footfalls. Keerthy Suresh tested her luck with Good Luck Sakhi and the word of mouth is quite poor.

The film too will fail to recover the publicity expenses. This adds one more debacle for Keerthy Suresh. On the whole, January 2022 started on a dull note and Tollywood has high hopes on February.

Confirmation soon for Tamil release of Balakrishna-starrer ‘Akhanda’

0

A report has said that the Tamil-dubbed version of “Akhanda” is all set to hit the screens this Friday in Tamil Nadu.

Starring popular Telugu actor Balakrishna in the lead role, directed by Boyapati Srinu, “Akhanda” has been streaming in Telugu on Disney+Hotstar.

Even though “Akhanda” is available on OTT, the movie is planned to be released in theatres in order to capitalise on the existing buzz.

While there is an ambiguity about the dubbed version’s release, it is even said that the movie’s Telugu version will be released in Tamil Nadu.

The makers are yet to clarify the same.

There are no straight Tamil films coming out this week due to the pandemic, so Tamil Nadu distributors have shown interest in the movie “Akhanda”, which can be called a blockbuster hit in Telugu.

There is a possibility that the movie will be dubbed into other languages soon after the Tamil release.

Pragya Jaiswal appears as the heroine in the mass entertainer, while Srikanth and other actors are in significant roles.

Balakrishna’s dynamic role in the movie is lauded by the Telugu audience, while SS Thaman’s music still stays as one of the biggest highlights about “Akhanda”.

The film is a huge blockbuster for Nizam buyers with 60 percent profits. The collections of the film in AP were hit by the ticket cap where it lost at least 15 Cr distributor share.
