Chennai, November 14 - Tamil star Suriya's long-awaited fantasy action drama Kanguva hit the big screens today amid huge expectations at the box office. As expected, the film has taken the career-best opening for the actor by a good margin. ## According to the early estimates, Kanguva is headed for opening in the range of 11-13 crores gross in Tamil Nadu which is a decent start. In Telugu states, the movie has taken a good start with an estimated gross collection in the range of 5.50-6 crores. ## Kerala was one of the best-performing states for Kanguva in advance sales and the film scored a very good opening of 4-4.50 crores gross there. In Karnataka, it is expected to score in the range of 2.50+ crores gross while the movie surprises in the North belt with a better-than-expected start. ## As per estimates, Kanguva is expected to gross around 4 crores in the Hindi belt as all India estimates suggest 26-28 crore gross opening day (including 3D charges). While this is a good start for the movie, it somehow fell short of expectations as a whole, especially in Tamil Nadu. ## As said, the opening is good but the road ahead might be a difficult one for the film. The initial word of mouth seems to be negative and the pre-sales for the weekend are poor. ## Stay tuned...

Chennai, November 12 - Tamil star Suriya's fantasy action drama film Kanguva is finally hitting the big screens this Thursday, November 14, as the anticipation soaring with release getting nearer. Directed by Siva, the movie has managed to generate good buzz with a superb promotional campaign. ## Recently, the makers announced that Kanguva would be released on over 10K screens worldwide, making it the widest release for a Tamil title. However, it may face a significant challenge, especially in the home state, Tamil Nadu due to fellow Tamil movie Amaran starring Sivakarthikeyan. ## Amaran was released during Diwali weekend and in just 12 days, it has surpassed 250 crores collection, at the worldwide box office, including 120+ crores gross in Tamil Nadu and emerged as a huge blockbuster. This dominance is causing trouble for Kanguva in securing enough screens in Tamil Nadu. ## It was assumed that the Suriya-starrer would be released on over 800 screens in Tamil Nadu, however, the latest development indicates that the movie will get only 50% of available screens due to Amaran which is performing exceptionally well in the state and is set to retain a good number of screens after Kanguva release. ## It hasn't been smooth sailing for Kanguva so far. The movie was supposed to be released on October 10 but was forced to postpone due to superstar Rajinikanth's Vettaiyan which eventually turned into a flop venture. And a month later, things haven't improved much for this particular film though the reason this time is fortunately solid. ## Amaran being a dominant force at the box office deserves to retain a good number of screens, at least, for a month and so does Kanguva which has let go of a lucrative box office slot for another movie. The expectations from the film are high as a lot riding on it as far as the box office prospects are concerned.## Stay tuned...

Chennai, November 11 - Tamil star Sivakarthikeyan's biographical war action drama film Amaran is doing wonders at the box office and is marching towards 300 crores worldwide. The movie has exceeded expectations and is now the second-biggest Tamil grosser of 2024. ## Since the movie is performing exceptionally well, it is learned that its OTT release date is set to be extended by a week and it will now arrive digitally after 5 weeks (35 days). Netflix is reportedly the post-theatrical OTT partner in all languages. ## It is said that just like other Tamil films, Amaran was originally supposed to start streaming after 4 weeks (28 days) and this is probably the first instance of a Tamil title that the theatrical window being extended in recent times, but the question arises whether the extension is good enough. ## Post the Covid-19 pandemic, South Indian films, especially Tamil and Telugu, have been restricted to the 4-week theatrical window, a practice which has received criticism from theatre owners. However, Telugu films which turned box big box office successes got a 2-3 weeks extension in the theatrical window, something the Tamil industry failed to secure. ## Amaran, which has crossed 250 crores worldwide in just 12 days, getting one more week to extend its dominance at the box office is a welcome move and this needs to become a regular practice with further extension for all the films for the larger benefit of the industry. ## Stay tuned...

This pushes the total cume to around 204 crores net which is fantastic. ## The second full week of BB3 is probably heading for around 55+ crores net which will take its total collection to around 213+ crores net before Suriya's Kanguva arrives on November 14 which is expected to get a good number of screens. It needs to be seen how much it will affect the holdover. ## Ajay Devgn's cop action drama Singham Again surpassed the 200 crores net mark on its second Sunday and held decently on Monday for an estimated 4-4.50+ crores net, dropping around 75% from the first Monday. This takes the total collection to around 211 crores net in 11 days. ## Singham 3 is expected to score 46-47 crores net second weekend, and it will be interesting to see how to perform there once the completion increases.
