'Kannappa' Makers' Silly Claim After First Day Box Office Business

Hyderabad, June 28 - It might be a marketing gimmick, the makers declared actor Vishnu Manchu's divotational film Kannappa as an industry hit, only after the first day. This is the first instance when the makers of any film have declared their movie an industry hit, after the opening day itself. ## While the intention behind such a gimmick is unclear, it is probably the silliest thing to do, as in reality, Kannappa will fall way short of the box office mark, which is required to become an industry hit. It is basically a self-trolling act by the Kannappa team, which is strange to even think about. ## As for the box office collection, Kannappa opened to around 11 crores gross at the Indian box office and around 13 crores gross at the worldwide box office. This collection, however, is good for a Vishnu Manchu film. It is, in fact, the biggest opening for the actor. ## The presence of superstar Prabhas played a huge role in the opening of Kannappa, as any sort of buzz the movie was able to generate before the release was due to Prabhas, who played a cameo role alongside Akshay Kumar and Mohanlal. It needs to be seen how the movie fares in the coming days, which are crucial for the film's success. ## #Kannappa emerges as an Industry Hit 💥An unstoppable saga of faith and power now ruling the silver screen! The divine has spoken — audiences have blessed it! 🙏🎟️ Book Now: https://t.co/r9X3mxOcKEHar Har Mahadev 🔱Har Ghar Mahadev 🔥#KannappaInCinemas #KannappaMovie… pic.twitter.com/4VlWzV2drA— 24 Frames Factory (@24FramesFactory) June 28, 2025 ## Stay tuned...

Hyderabad, June 25 - Director Sekhar Kammula's drama thriller Kuberaa, starring Dhanush, Nagarjuna, and Rashmika Mandanna, is turning out to be a big success at the box office as it has topped 100 crores gross collection worldwide in just 6 days. ## Released on June 20, the film has been soaring at the box office, thanks to the positive word of mouth. After scoring the biggest opening weekend for Dhanush and Nagarjuna, Kubraa is holding very well during the weekdays, and has managed to surpass 100 crores gross as I type this. ## In the first 5 days, through Tuesday, the film grossed an estimated 97 crores worldwide, including approximately 72 crores in India and 25 crores at the overseas box office. On its 6th day of business, it has entered the 100 crores club, becoming the 5th Telugu movie of the year to do so. ## Kuberaa is the 4th movie of Dhanush to hit 100 crores gross worldwide, after "Raayan" (also his highest-grossing movie), Vaathi/Sir, and Thiruchitrambalam. Interestingly, all four 100 crores grossers for Dhanush have come in the post-COVID-19 era. ## For Nagarjuna, it is his first 100 crores grosser, other than Brahmastra: Part 1, in which he played a cameo role, while Rashmika Mandanna scored her 9th 100 crore grosser. Director Sekhar Kammula, who has directed only 10 movies in his 25-year career, also opened his account in the 100 crores club with Kuberaa. ## Stay tuned...

Both 'Baahubali' Films To Be Re-Released As One Single Film

Hyderabad, June 7 - SS Rajamouli's epic and path-breaking blockbuster Baahubali is returning to the big screen, but with a big twist. Baahubali - The Beginning was released in 2015, before the second part, Baahubali - The Conclusion, stormed the box office in 2017. ## Baahubali will be turning a decade old in July this year, and to celebrate this big occasion, producer Shobu Yarlagadda has recently announced its re-release worldwide in October 2025. While the date is not disclosed yet, the film may hit the big screen on or around the birthday of Prabhas, who headlined this epic. ## According to the report by Gulte.com, both parts of Baahubali will be released in a one epic cut, instead of re-releasing separately. The makers are reportedly working on combining Baahubali - The Beginning and The Conclusion into a single, trimmed-down version. ## This new strategy of re-releasing both parts as a single film can be exciting for fans, as the aim is to once again deliver a seamless cinematic experience to audiences worldwide. ## Baahubali is the franchise which put Telugu cinema on the global map. It (both parts) broke the language barrier and scripted a history at the box office. Both films grossed around 2400 crores worldwide and are by far the highest-grossing non-Bollywood Indian film series ever. ## Stay tuned...
