Nani-starrer ‘Dasara’ to get a second life in Hindi on OTT platform

0

‘Dasara’, starring Telugu superstar Nani and Keerthy Suresh, is ready for a Netflix release in Hindi. The OTT platform released the trailer for the Hindi version on Thursday.

The official handle of Netflix India also shared the release date. It said: “If you thought that the Dhoom Dhaam was done, you’re wrong! ‘Dasara’ is coming to Netflix in Hindi on May 25th.”

Written and helmed by debutant Srikanth Odela, the period drama also features Dheekshith Shetty, Shine Tom Chacko, Samuthirakani, Sai Kumar and Poorna in key roles. The gritty film is set in the backdrop of the Singareni coal mines near Godavarikhani, Telangana.

The Telugu original of ‘Dasara’ was released on March 30 and it received mixed- positive reviews, but it went on to gross Rs 135 crore on a budget of Rs 65 crore.

After the success of ‘Dasara’, Nani has started work on his next movie, an emotional family drama currently titled NANI30, directed by another debutant filmmaker, Shouryuv. The film will also have Mrunal Thakur, who made her debut in the South with the Dulquer Salmaan-starrer ‘Sita Ramam’.

Nani Follows Rajamouli’s Success Formula

0

SS Rajamouli is India’s Biggest Director. People say many reasons for the success of Rajamouli but the ace director has a big but hidden reason.

Rajamouli does not repeat genre of his films. After Magadheera, he does a Maryada Ramanna. After Baahubali, he shifts to RRR. RRR is not about big sets or war sequences. Hence there is no chance of comparison.

Nani is also following the same formula in his own way. Nani’s recent line up – Shyam Singha Roy, Ante Sundaraniki, and Dasara are all completely different.

Dasara is a very ambitious film for Nani in terms of scale, makeover, and performance. But he does not stick to the genre and attempts an emotional drama film as his next, #Nani30.

He did not stick to Dasara despite a big success and did not forever enjoy the success. He silently shifted to #Nani30. With that, there is no scope for comparison and also, audience will appreciate the variety.

Pan-Indian failures from Telugu Cinema

0

Telugu cinema and Telugu films reached a new place after the release of Baahubali franchise. Films like RRR, KGF: Chapter 2 and Kantara made enough noise at the Indian box-office last year. Telugu cinema has a chart of films that will release across the nation. Films like Micheal, Dasara and Shaakuntalam released across the nation and failed badly. Ravi Teja’s Ravanasura was announced as a pan-Indian film but it did not release in any other language due to various reasons. Akhil Akkineni’s Agent is hitting the screens on April 28th and is made on a huge budget.

The film is releasing in Telugu and Malayalam due to the last-day rush. The shoot is completed recently and the dubbing work is yet to conclude. Pan-Indian release needs a proper planning and a grand promotional plan. A bunch of films from young actors are announced for pan-Indian release but there should be takers or those who have to come ahead and bear the digital expenses. It is quite easy for the makers to release posters with pan-Indian release but it is not so easy for any film to have a grand release across the nation in all the major languages.

Dasara is a mixed bag for Nani

0

Natural Star Nani’r thirst to dive into new and challenging roles is clearly seen in Dasara. His portrayal as Dharani is winning the hearts of the audience. Dasara is the biggest-ever opener for Nani and as an actor, Nani is thrilled and satisfied. The film performed well in Nizam and overseas regions. The distributors are losing their investments in Andhra and Ceeded regions. The film underperformed in North and other South Indian languages. The footfalls and openings for Dasara are disastrous in the North Indian belt.

The distributors of Tamil and Malayalam too are losing big. Dasara will remain as the biggest hit of Nani till date but the film is a mixed bag for him. Nani promoted the film for weeks across the major cities of the country. Dasara is also the first pan-Indian attempt for Natural Star. Srikanth Odela made his directorial debut with Dasara and Keerthy Suresh played Vennela. Nani is currently shooting for his next film directed by one more debutant Shouryuv and the film releases this year.

0

Dasara had a good extended first week with a worldwide gross of 97 Cr. Worldwide distributor share is at 54.60 Cr. The film will breach the 100cr gross mark today and will become the first Nani film to cross the mark. It is a profitable venture for Nizam, ROI (Telugu) & Overseas buyers but the AP area needs a solid run in the coming weeks to reach the breakeven mark. Also, this is the first Nani film to cross the 50cr share mark.

Nani about the sequel for Dasara

1

Natural Star Nani is left delighted with the super success of Dasara. A grand success meet of the film took place last evening in Karimnagar. Nani thanked Mahesh Babu, Prabhas, Rajamouli, Sukumar and others for supporting the film and promoting the positive word of mouth. He also responded about the sequel for Dasara. He said that there would be no sequel for Dasara and it is a single part. He also said that Dasara is a single piece and there is no score for the second part.

Dasara is a love story set in the backdrop of Telangana in Karimnagar district. The film is directed by a debutant Srikanth Odela and the film had Keerthy Suresh as the leading lady. Sudhakar Cherukuri invested big on the film and Nani’s performance along with the technical aspects worked big for the film. Nani is currently shooting for his next film in Goa and the film will release this year.

Dasara continues to do well in Nizam but AP remains below par

Dasara is continuing to collect well in Nizam area but has seen considerably first drop in Andhra Pradesh (7 areas) on its first Monday. The film has seen a drop again on the Tuesday which is a nominal one but considering the collections on Monday which are the lower side, the film should have hold at similar levels on Tuesday.

It has collected 1.22 Cr share & 1.05 Cr in Nizam on Monday & Tuesday respectively Monday while AP is at 0.77 Cr , 0.62 Cr. The film is sold for 20.5 Cr in Total AP out of which is 14 Cr for the Andhra Region (UA, East, West, Krishna, guntur , Nellore) & 6.5 Cr for Ceeded. Andhra Region share for 6 days stands at 11.7 Cr against the valued 14 Cr rights. The film will cross the valued mark in UA area which is an own release by Dil Raju & East Godavari which was sold. Other areas like West, Krishna , Guntur needs solid hold in the coming weekend for a breakeven.

Ceeded area buyer is the biggest looser for this film as it is underperforming bigtime from the second day. The film is sold for 6.5 Cr here and it collected about 4 Cr in 6 days. Even with solid run the film might collect little above 5 Cr and the buyer is going to loose more than 1 Cr.

The regional factor for the film is helping it do collect well in Nizam area but AP market is dull. Recently this has happened for Balagam which was even worse in AP but that’s understandable as the film is a non starrer. But that’s not the case with Dasara.

0

Dasara had a very good extended weekend worldwide as the film has collected a distributor share of 42.60 Cr (excluding GST). Pre-Release business of the film is around 47 Cr (excluding GST) and the film should comfortably cross that mark during weekdays. The film has done excellent business in Nizam but the holds in AP could be better, especially in Ceeded where it is sold for a much bigger rate for the hero.

Overseas is also excellent for the film with more than 2 Million gross, USA itself has contributed about 1.6 Million.

A Huge Relief for Keerthy Suresh

Keerthy Suresh is one of the finest actresses of this generation. She won a national award for her performance in Mahanati. The actress delivered a series of flops after Mahanati.

The film is running with packed houses and the performance of the actress is widely appreciated.

Keerthy Suresh is quite delighted with the response. She is spotted in Hyderabad celebrating the success of Dasara. The film is a rustic entertainer with Nani playing the lead role.

Dasara Day1 Worldwide Collections – Biggest Opening for Nani

Nani’s Dasara has taken an excellent opening worldwide as the film has collected a distributor share of 18 Cr (excluding GST). The film has taken a huge opening in Nizam owing to the regional factor. This is the biggest-ever opening for a hero worldwide and also the highest for a hero outside the Tier-1 category. The collections of the film are disappointing in Tamil Nadu, Kerala & North India though the film is promoted aggressively. In the Overseas markets, the film is doing very well and is expected to cross the Million mark in the USA market alone on Friday.

Dasara Movie Review – Intense melodrama works partially !

Dasara Review

Dasara Review

Telugu360 Rating : 2.75/5

Natural Star Nani is gearing up for the biggest bet in his career. Directed by Srikanth Odela, Dasara is a rustic Telangana-based village drama. Keerthy Suresh played the leading lady and the music composed by Santosh Narayanan is a massive hit. Sudhakar Cherukuri’s SLV Cinemas are the producers and the film is hitting the screens today. Here is the review of Dasara:

Story:

Dasara is a rustic village story that revolves around three friends Dharani ( Nani) , Vennela ( Keerthy Suresh), and Suri ( Shetty). Set in 1995, the Crux of the story is how sarpanch Nambi (played by Shine Tom Chacko) impacts the lives of the lead trio. The film is set in the backdrop of singareni mines of Telangana.

Analysis:

Dasara film comes with a lot of expectations but meets them only partially. The village backdrop films are nothing new to us, but to give a different look to the film, the team has picked a Telangana village backdrop. The completely rustic setup came out well and the characters synchronized into the story effectively. Debutante direct Srikanth Odela has done decent work in many aspects but missed an opportunity to convert it into a great film. The story has its moments around the interval block and in post-interval scenes. The sarpanch Nambi thread came out well. The friendship and sacrifice thread of Dharani and Suri worked out for a while. Dharani’s decision in a crucial scene has much potential to generate emotions in the second half but the narration revolves around revenge drama only.

The superhit song ‘ Chamkhila Angeelesi’ comes at a serious juncture, very ineffective on the screen. The story is too simplified and lost its steam somewhere in middle. The climax fight appeals to the masses, but the closing scene (return of Nani) is a misfired one.

A noticeable strength of the film is the dialogue department; they are good in many scenes. Director Srikanth Odela has shown strength in making at Interval block and climax. The introduction train sequence with cheap graphics is a failed attempt. Santhosh Narayanan’s music and background score is good. Suryan’s cinematography is excellent. Capturing the shot effectively even in low-lighting scenes is good. Overall, this film scores well in the technical department.

Performances:

Nani delivers career-best performance; we cannot imagine anyone else in Dharani’s role. His Telangana diction is so perfect as well. Keerthy Suresh in de glamour role is just fine; a couple of her scenes are overaction. Dheekshith Shetty as suri a good casting. Malayalam actor Shine Tom Chacko plays the main villain character and he is good. Samudrakhani got an insignificant role. Saikumar’s role is minimal and so is Jhansi as Keerthy suresh’s mother.

Positives:

  • Nani’s career-best performance
  • Rustic and Raw Scenes with a new backdrop
  • Action Episodes are good
  • Impressive dialogues

Negatives:

  • Emotions did not work except in a couple of scenes
  • Very Slow paced narration
  • Predictability

Verdict:

Dasara is an average film with raw scenes and an authentic setup. Hero Nani’s outstanding natural performance, Debutante director Srikanth’s spark in some scenes, and action blocks compensate for the slow proceedings to an extent. The second half is a slow-paced one and tests patience here and there. Overall, a decent watch.
