Andhra Pradesh Government Warns Theatre Owners Regarding Pawan Kalyan's 'Bheemla Nayak'

Hyderabad, February 24 - The government of Andhra Pradesh has warned the theater owners regarding the showcasing of superstar Pawan Kalyan's "Bheemla Nayak", which is slated to release on February 25. ## Ahead of the release of "Bheemla Nayak", the Andhra Pradesh government issued a notice, warning the theatre owners to follow the regulations regarding the ticket prices. Interestingly, the state government had recently reportedly promised to revise the ticket prices after the meeting with Tollywood stars. ## However, even after two weeks, the government has failed to issue new government order regarding the ticket prices, which will affect the business of "Bheemla Nayak". The theater owners have been asked to sell the tickets at old prices, which might cause a huge loss to the theatre owners, buyers, and the businessmen involved in the trade.## The state government also has issued strict orders warning the theatre owners to not allow benefit shows or special screenings of the movie in Andhra Pradesh. No benefit shows and the least prices might result in many theatres not screening the movie.## While there are talks that the YSRCP people have intentionally postponed the introduction of the new government order, it is also in the news that the special committee is yet to submit the proposals for the ticket price hike.## Stay tuned...

Allu Arjun's Pushpa: The Rise Beats Biggest Bollywood Hit Of 2021, Sooryavanshi In Terms Of Footfalls

Mumbai, February 22 - Allu Arjun's "Pushpa - The Rise" has proved itself as the box office monster in Hindi, despite many challenges and low promotion. Even though it was made available on the OTT platform 4 weeks after its theatrical run, the Telugu action thriller continues to attract audiences in theaters, which has been a pleasing sight for the film industry. ## "Pushpa - The Rise" has truly been a trendsetter and surpassed many outright Bollywood films at the box office. While it will finish behind Akshay Kumar-fronted "Sooryavanshi" in terms of business, Pushpa, however, has beaten this Rohit Shetty-directed at one of the crucial aspects of theatrical terms, footfalls. ## "Sooryavanshi", which was released on Diwali 2021, attracted 11 million footfalls in theaters in India and did nearly Rs. 196 crores business at the box office. "Pushpa - The Rise", on the other hand, has invited nearly 13.10 million footfalls, which is the biggest for a Hindi movie during the covid-19 pandemic. "Pushpa", due to the low ticket prices as compared to "Sooryavanshi", has so far done the business of Rs. 105.50 crores in Hindi. ## Even though "Pushpa" falls behind "Sooryavanshi" in terms of business, the makers and Indian cinema industry will be more than happy, considering the movie has brought the audiences to the theaters in large numbers. "Sooryavanshi" too has done very well, especially knowing the fact that it was the first major Bollywood release during the health crisis. ## Directed by Sukumar, "Pushpa" is a two-part release. The first of two cinematic parts depicts the rise of a coolie in the smuggling syndicate of red sandalwood, a rare wood that grows only in the Seshachalam Hills of Andhra Pradesh state. Including Hindi, the movie has done the business of over Rs. 350 crores worldwide. It also stars Rashmika Mandanna as the female lead alongside Fahadh Faasil, Jagadeesh Prathap Bandari, Sunil, Rao Ramesh, Dhananjaya, Anasuya Bharadwaj, Ajay, and Ajay Ghosh in key roles. ## Stay tuned...

Bheemla Nayak Advance Booking Put On Hold In Telangana!

Hyderabad, February 19 - The advance booking for Pawan Kalyan-starrer upcoming Telugu movie "Bheemla Nayak", scheduled to release on February 25th, has reportedly been put on hold in Telangana state over service charge by the online ticketing portals. ## According to a report by Great Andhra, the Telugu film industry has taken a strong stand against online ticketing portals for abnormal ticket prices. It is learnt that the film industry is not happy with Book My Show and other platforms for charging high service charges which are resulting in low footfalls in theaters. ## The report has suggested that exhibitors have been asked to sell the cinema tickets only at the booking counters in theatres till the issue is settled. This decision has been taken to avoid the huge burden of higher ticket prices on audiences and encourage them to visit theaters to watch movies. ## Confirming this, Sirish, the distributor for Pawan Kalyan-starrer "Bheemla Nayak" in the Nizam area, said (via Great Andhra) that "For some days, the sale of tickets would be done at the counters in the theatres". ## In the past few years, ticket prices have gone up abnormally due to the higher commission charge by Book My Show. This has resulted in a reduction in theatre footfall. So, the industry has felt it would be better to revert back to the old system of selling tickets at the booking counters in theatres. However, some of the reports have claimed that the issue would be resolved in a day or two and online booking will start after that. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office Prediction: Bheemla Nayak To Outshine Its Big Competitors At The Box Office?

Hyderabad, February 19 - The happy days for the theater owners are just around the corner as the box office chatter is making noise among the fans and trade. The big-screen magic will be shining bright again after the moments of ups and downs in the last two years of the covid-19 pandemic. ## The last weekend of February 2022 will see three of the most-awaited Indian movies hitting theaters in the form of Ajith Kumar's "Valimai" on Feb. 24, Pawan Kalyan's "Bheemla Nayak" on Feb. 25, and Alia Bhatt-fronted "Gangubai Kathiawadi" on Feb. 25. Interestingly, all three movies will have multilingual releases, thus making things tough for one another at the box office. ## Though there are a couple of other movies too to release during the same weekend such as the Telugu movie "Aadaalloo Meeku Johaarlu", starring Sharwanand and Rashmika Mandanna, the real battle to emerge box office king, however, will be among the three aforementioned films, especially between "Valimai", and "Bheemla Nayak". ## As far as the box office numbers are concerned, Pawan Kalyan and Rana Daggubati-starrer Telugu movie "Bheemla Nayak", might outshine the other releases. The movie is seen as the potential highest-grossing film for Pawan Kalyan. It will also be released in the Hindi dubbed version, however, that is unlikely to add extra fuel to it since there is no sign of promotion in Hindi yet. But who knows what destiny has in its store for this biggie. ## Pawan Kalyan's last film, "Vakeel Saab", opened to huge Rs. 40.10 crores net at the Indian box office. It is the biggest opening day record for a Pawan Kalyan movie to date, but it might be broken by "Bheemla Nayak". The upcoming actioner is creating more hype and buzz is surreal around it that makes this big-ticket a movie to watch out for at the box office. ## When it comes to hype and buzz, no other movie can match Ajith Kumar's Tamil tentpole "Valimai", which will be released a day before Pawan Kalyan-fronted. Ajith is one of the biggest stars in Tamil Nadu and his movies often gained a lot of attention. "Valimai" might become Ajith Kumar's biggest grosser of all time. His "Viswasam" is currently the biggest film with a worldwide collection of approx. 200 crores. ## "Valimai", directed by H Vinoth, will also be released in Hindi, Telugu, and Kannada dubbed versions. It might make noise at the Hindi box office where it has to compete with Alia Bhatt-fronted "Gangubai Kathiawadi". In the Hindi circuit, "Valimai" is expected to release on over 1000 screens. It could open between Rs. 30-35 crores at the Indian box office.## The Sanjay Leela Bhansali-directed "Gangubai Kathiawadi" is sure to take a good opening. Though Bollywood movies except, "Sooryavanshi", have struggled to take a good start during the covid-19 pandemic, "Gangubai Kathiawadi" could change that trend and surprise everyone. The trailer and songs of the film are doing good and the on-ground promotion is also picking the pace. Superstar Ajay Devgn has played a cameo role and his presence will surely boost its box office chances. If all goes well, the movie could open between Rs. 10-15 cores at the Hindi box office. It will also release in Telugu, however, there is not much scope for it to score. ## Stay tuned...
