2022 Becomes The First Year To Have Five Indian Movies In 400 Crores Club Worldwide

Mumbai, October 11 - It has been a record-breaking year for the Indian film industry which has delivered some of the biggest blockbusters of all time. There were a lot of doubts about how the movies will perform at the box office in the post-pandemic era, and now, all the questions have been answered, however, complete normalcy at the box office is yet to be achieved. ## On the brighter side of the picture, 2022 has become the first ever year for the Indian film industry to have five films in the 400 crores at the worldwide box office. This has never happened before in Indian cinema where as many as films scored 400 crores globally. The previous highest 400 crores grossing film count in a single year was 4 which was achieved in 2018. ## SS Rajamouli's global blockbuster RRR was the first to achieve this feat this year in March. It went on to gross over 1100 crores worldwide, before Yash-fronted KGF: Chapter 2 outshined it and grossed more than 1200 crores in April and became the third highest-grossing Indian film of all time. ## The third film in the 400 crores club this year was Kamal Haasan's biggest blockbuster Vikram, which was released in June. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, "Vikram" was a surprise entry into the 400 crores club and finished at approx. 414 crores. ## Director Ayan Mukerji's Brahmastra Part One: Shiva was the next on the list and currently stands at approx. 430 crores while Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan - Part 1 is the latest entry in this quoted box office club with around 410 crores so far. The current combined gross total of all five films is 3570 crores.## Industry-wise, Tamil cinema is leading the 400 crore club in 2022 with 2 films ("Vikram", and "PS-1") while one each belongs to Telugu ("RRR"), Kannada ("KGF 2"), and Hindi ("Brahmastra"). The common thing among these five films is that all these films result in multiple languages though only "RRR" and "KGF 2" scored higher numbers in other languages. ## In 2018, Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar's "2.0" (744 cr.), Ranbir Kapoor's "Sanju" (588 cr.), Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone's "Padmaavat" (585 cr.), and Ayushmann Khurrana-starrer "Andhadhun" (438 cr.) had scored 400+ crores at the worldwide box office. In 2023, there are plenty of tentpole titles that have the potential to gross 500 crores globally (will bring a report on that soon).## Stay tuned...

Adipurush Makers Adopt Right Approach To Make People Change Their Minds

Mumbai, October 9 - A lot has happened over the past week regarding director Om Raut's magnum opus film Adipurush. The teaser of this Prabhas-fronted film was launched on October 3 amid huge anticipation, however, after its release, the teaser has become the center of controversy and criticism on various fronts. ## Based on the Hindu epic Ramayana, "Adipurush" is a VFX-heavy film that has become a huge topic of discussion. Immediately after the teaser launch, it received heavy criticism for poor VFX shots which were called cartoonish. However, the first reaction from director Om Raut to the criticism was that he didn't make the movie for mobile and that it will look larger-than-life on the big screen. ## Since "Adipurush" has been made on a huge budget, it was important for the makers to shut down the criticism and win public trust again for the movie that is touted to be the most prestigious film in the country. While doing so, makers approached a way that changed the perception of the audience towards it.## Om Raut has been saying from the first day that "Adipurush" will be an altogether new theatrical experience, and to solidify his words, the makers showed the teaser to the Hindi media people and critics on the big screen in 3D and those who were criticizing started applauding the teaser for the grandeur it involves. ## The makers did the same with the Telugu version and along with the media and critics, the Telugu teaser was also screened for the audience in approx. 60 locations. And the response from them has been completely different from what they were talking about earlier. ## Apart from criticizing the VFX, the teaser has also invited fresh controversy as many have alleged that the characters of "Ramayana" have been tampered with, and one of them is the look of Raavan, played by Saif Ali Khan. This is not the first time when films on historical and mythological topics hit controversy but this time, the makers are tackling this situation in rather a positive way. ## Om Raut along with Manoj Muntashir, who has written the dialogues of the film, have been giving intreviews from the last few days, making people understand their vision and this has made a positive impact as many prominent personalities have come out in the support of the film along with the neutral audience. ## It has been seen in the past that after such heavy trolling of a movie, makers have opted wait and watch policy. The "Adipurush" makers could also have said that people's mindset will be changed after watching the movie, but they aren't doing this and heavily promoting their film in what can be termed as a perfect and right way.## "Adipurush" is produced by T-Series and Retrophiles and also stars Kriti Sanon, Saif Ali Khan, and Sunny Singh in prominent roles. It is scheduled to release on January 12, 2023, in multiple languages, also in IMAX and 3D.## Stay tuned...

The growth from Friday is a big one with approx 60% growth. The film will see another growth on Sunday and the hope is that the growth is bigger in mass circuits that are lacking.## The second Saturday box office collections will take the entire box office collections of Vikram Vedha to over the 65cr net mark. The good hold in the last few days has enabled the film to reach close to a 90cr lifetime finish which will be a respectable number.## The film has underperformed at the box office but it is not an outright rejected film. The content of the film has found limited appreciation but the biggest negative of the film was it failed to attract audiences in core mass belts despite being an action film.## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Vikram Vedha First Thursday Early Estimates

Mumbai, October 6 - Vikram Vedha has a drop on the first Thursday of its box office run which was expected as it came after a holiday. The early estimate collections suggest Rs. 3 crores net.## The first Thursday collections will take the entire box office of Vikram Vedha to over the 58cr net mark. The film has completed its first week at the box office with 58cr net business which is a low number for a Hrithik Roshan starrer. ## At one point in time, the first week of business was looking to be around 55cr net but thanks to the holidays the film managed to get higher collections. ## The second Friday hold is very important for Vikram Vedha and it should collect well and eventually show some good growth over the second weekend. The good thing is that Vikram Vedha does not have any big competition at the box office till the Diwali releases so the free run will definitely help the lifetime business of the film.## Stay tuned...

Director Om Raut Defends 'Adipurush' Teaser Amid Criticism

Mumbai, October 5 - The teaser of director Om Raut's mega movie Adipurush, starring Prabhas, has been under scrutiny for poor VFX. "Adipurush" is probably the most trolled movie in recent times, however, Om Raut has strongly defended the teaser amid criticism. ## Om Raut and T-Series showed the teaser to industry people on the big screen, and the reaction from the screening has completely opposite to what the audience is saying. The teaser also revealed the first look of Prabhas as Raghava, Kriti Sanon as Janaki, and Saif Ali Khan as Lankesh, based on Lord Rama, Goddess Sita, and Ravana from the epic Ramayana respectively. ## The filmmaker interacted with the media after showing the teaser to the industry people. He said that he was dishearted to see the audience's reaction but wasn't surprised as he made the movie for the big screen, not for the mobile. ## "I was disheartened for sure, not surprised because the film is made for a larger medium — the big screen. You can cut it down to some extent but can't bring it down to a mobile phone. That's an environment I can't control. Given a choice, I'd never put it on YouTube but that's the need of the hour. We need to put it there so that it reaches a wide audience", Raut said according to Hindustan Times.## "My partner and the studio (T-Series) is the largest YouTube channel in the world. This film does require an audience that comes to cinema halls very rarely — primarily the senior citizen generation that doesn't come to cinemas or people from remote locations who don't have access to theaters".## "We need those people to come and see the film because it's Ramayana... We need to reach a wider audience and get them excited. So, as I said, I was not surprised because it's not made for the smaller screen. It's made for a larger screen and I can't consume it on a smaller screen", he added.## Produced by T-series, and Retrophiles, the movie is scheduled to release on January 12, 2023, in 3D and IMAX in multiple languages.## Stay tuned...
