Box Office: Karthikeya 2 Overtakes Radhe Shyam In Hindi

Mumbai, August 26 - Actor Nikhil Siddhartha's blockbuster Karthikeya 2 has surpassed Prabhas and Pooja Hegde's Radhe Shyam's lifetime collection in Hindi languages. Radhe Shyam, which was released earlier in March this year, couldn't do justice to Prabhas' stardom in the Hindi version and ended up collecting only approx. 19.50 crores net. ## "Karthikeya 2", which opened to nothing numbers of just 7 lakh but grow significantly with each passing day after getting excellent reviews and super positive word of mouth. It scored 5.75 crores net in the opening week, followed by 13.52 crores (+235%) net in the second week. The total Hindi collection of the movie after 14 days reached 20.11 crores.## There is no comparison between Radhe Shyam and Karthikeya 2 as the Prabhas-starrer movie was made on a huge budget and scale against K2, which has been made at a fraction of the budget of RS. However, it was the content, where Radhe Shyam fell flat whereas Karthikey 2 has been hailed as one of the best Telugu films of the year, resulting in, it also making huge noise in the dubbed Hindi version as well. ## Directed by Chandoo Mondeti and produced by Abhishek Agarwal and T.G.Vishwa Prasad, "Karthikeya 2" is following the trend of Allu Arjun's "Pushpa - The Rise" in the Hindi version. While Pushpa's lifetime Hindi collection is way out of reach for Karthikeya 2, it still can end up with an excellent lifetime collection. ## "Karthikeya 2" has had a good run at the USA box office so far with over $1 million gross. The total worldwide collection of the movie so far is 83 crores gross, including approx. 50 crores at the domestic Telugu version. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Liger First Friday Early Estimates (All Languages)

Mumbai, August 26 - The horror has come alive as Vijay Deverakonda's Liger falls massively on the second day itself after taking a record but underwhelming start upon its Thursday release in Telugu version. The Puri Jagannadh-directed sports action drama film scored 15.5 crores net on the first day, including 13.80 crores in Telugu. On its first Friday (2nd day), the movie scored an estimated 6-8 crores net for all languages. The only saving moment of the day for the movie is that the Hindi version starts well and scores an estimated 3.50-4 crores net today, which is technically its first day. The total Hindi collection including Thursday previews is around 5 crores net. Liger will need miracles to cover the lost ground in the remaining two days of the opening weekend. The Hindi version may give some relief, however, that won't be easy as word of mouth is negative. The other versions are nowhere in the scene, which means the movie is heading for a big disappointment. About This Movie This film is directed by Puri Jagannadh and produced by Karan Johar, Charmme Kaur, Apoorva Mehta, Hiroo Johar, and Puri Jagannadh under the banners of Dharma Productions and Puri Connects. Liger stars Vijay Deverakonda, and Ananya Pandey in key roles. Stay tuned...

Box Office: Vijay Deverakonda's 'Liger' Underperformed Despite Record Opening

Hyderabad, August 26 - Vijay Deverakonda's sports action drama Liger was released in theaters yesterday (August 25) and it was a day of mixed feelings for the makers. ## Directed by Puri Jagannadh, "Liger" opened to record-breaking (as expected) box office numbers for a tier-2 Telugu film, but at the same time, the makers must be preparing themselves for what they are going to get in the future, at least for the most important Telugu version. ## "Liger", which had a very good pre-release buzz, remained underwhelming despite taking the biggest opening for Vijay Deverakonda with an AP/TG share collection of 9.14 crores, worldwide is approx. 24 crores. ## Puri Jagannadh described the movie as his best project to date, however, upon its release, the film got very poor reviews from critics while the audience's word of mouth is also not so encouraging which is clearly visible in the opening day numbers that were expected to be around at least 35 crores worldwide. ## The future of this Pan India film is looking blink, especially knowing the fact that the stakes involved in it are high. "Liger" has been valued at approx. 90 crores worldwide, but going the current trend, the stakeholders will be hoping for miracles to happen to recover even 50% of the total investment. ## It's not all doom and gloom for "Liger" as of now as other versions, including Hindi, will get the full-fledged release from August 26 onwards. However, with the kind of reception the Telugu version has got, it will surely affect the biz of other versions of the film which remains to see. Stay tuned...

Hyderabad, August 24 - For the past few years, rumors are making noise that all is not well between two superstars of the Mega family, Allu Arjun and Ram Charan. While the actors never spoke anything against each other, it is their fans who have often been fighting against each other on social media. ## Hashtags about Allu Arjun and Ram Charan's personal lives have been trending on Twitter time and again and the same was observed a few days back when the obscene tweets and memes were created by both parties to target each other's, favorite mega hero. ## Meanwhile, Allu Arjun's father Allu Arvind doesn't believe there is any rift between the two superstars. The producer at Geetha Arts Allu Arvind was speaking to the Telugu media a couple of days ago on the occasion of Megastar Chiranjeevi's birthday. ## During the interaction with the media, the producer said that Chiranjeevi is a godly figure to Allu Arjun and he will always respect him. Allu Arjun even wished "the one and only megastar" Chiranjeevi on his birthday.

Vijay Deverakonda's Extra Confidence In 'Liger' Will Extend Telugu Industry's Dominance At The Box Office?

Hyderabad, August 21 - After two months of pause, the Telugu film industry is back in the action and is on a potential long ride. Putting this in simple words - the largest South Indian film industry is flying high with the support of three back-to-back box office blockbusters, all coming in this month called August. ## The industry was in a dire need of one big hit to kick-start the process, and it got two not just one in the form of "Sita Ramam" and "Bimbisara". A week later joining these two films was actor Nikhil Siddhartha's "Karthikeya 2", which is simply going overdrive and proving to be a force to reckon with no sign of dropping anytime soon. ## While the aforementioned three films are going strong, the Telugu industry has one more, if not many, potential blockbuster in August in the form of Vijay Deverakonda and director Puri Jagannadh's much-anticipated sports action drama film, "Liger". Scheduled to release on August 25, the movie is carrying a very good buzz and it is almost certain to open big at the Telugu box office. ## "Liger" is a Pan India film, shot simultaneously in Hindi and Telugu. It is co-produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions so the makers have taken the Hindi market very seriously, in fact, they started the promotion by visiting multiple North Indian cities. The Hindi version may not take as big an opening as the Telugu version, but it can be the most productive in the long run if received very well. ## Personally, the thing which is exciting to me is the extra confidence Vijay Deverakonda (who recently quoted a minimum of 200 crores earning of the film) is showing in the movie. Of course, the cat will be out of the hat when the movie officially will get released, but it is very important for the involved people to back their product wholeheartedly which is exactly what VD is doing without putting his head down for a second. ## The stakes involved in "Liger" are comparatively high than the previous films, but so is the confidence of the makers and buzz around the film and this should extend the dominance of Telugu cinema at the box office. It also stars Ananya Pandey as the female lead along with Ramya Krishnan and Ronit Roy in important roles. Former American professional boxer, Mike Tyson is also playing a cameo role in the film. ## Stay tuned...

He got excited by the idea. It’s a very big film and we have got international technicians on board. We are planning a big schedule in Morocco next month.” Charmy exclaims that JGM after Liger was a surprise to everyone", said Charmy Kaur. ## "JGM" is a big-budget action spectacle with a patriotic theme.
