Director Venkat Prabhu's Weird Excuse For Box Office Failure of Thalapathy Vijay's 'The GOAT' In Hindi and Telugu

Chennai, September 9 - One of the biggest Tamil films of the year, Thalapathy Vijay's action thriller The Greatest of All Time had a fantastic first-weekend collection in the home state, Tamil Nadu and overseas box office, however, the movie is not performing in other parts of the country. ## Other than Tamil Nadu, The GOAT has heavily underperformed in other states of India, especially in Telugu and Hindi states where it has grossed just around 23 crores of gross collection. The performance of the movie in Telugu states is shockingly poor as Thalapathy Vijay's previous few films did well there. ## While the audience outside Tamil Nadu is not loving the movie, director Venkat Prabhu has made a weird excuse for the film's failure in Telugu and Hindi. During a recent interaction, the filmmaker stated that due to the references to the IPL cricket team, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the movie, it is not working in Telugu and Hindi. ## The rivalry of CSK with Sunriseres Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, which has massive fan-following nationwide, is well known, and director Venkat Prabhu feels that because he supports CSK, the audience of Telugu and Tamil are staying away from watching the movie. ## This is a funny excuse by a seasoned filmmaker as the movie, unfortunately, is not resonating with audiences. However, The GOAT is performing excellently in the home state, Tamil Nadu where it grossed approximately 106 crores in the 4-day opening weekend while the rest of the domestic gross was 55 crores. Worldwide, it scored 281 crores in 4 days. ## Stay tuned...

The movie received mixed to positive reception from the audience, but it didn't stop the movie from taking a huge opening at the box office. ## Thalapathy Vijay has proved in the past that his movies are critic-proof and have scored a big collection at the box office.

The TN collection might vary depending on offline ticket sales in smaller centres which is a massive aspect of South Indian movies. ## Outside Tamil Nadu, the action thriller is looking to score in the range of 9 crores gross collection in Karnataka, and 6+ crores gross in Kerala. The movie, however, has a below-par opening in Telugu states as estimates suggest around 4 crores gross start, which is nowhere near Vijay's last film, Leo's opening in this region. In North India, the movie is expected to gross 2.50 crores. ## Overall, The GOAT is expected to gross around 50+ crores (42-43 crores net) at the domestic collection which is by far the biggest opening for a Tamil title this year and one of the biggest of all time. As per the estimates, the opening of the film is very much in line with industry projections. ## South Indian films tend to go down after the big opening and with mixed reviews, the drop is likely to be bigger than expected which remains to see.## Stay tuned...

Mixed To Positive Audience Report For Thalapathy Vijay's 'The GOAT'

Chennai, September 5 - Thalapathy Vijay's penultimate movie The Greatest of All Time has been released on the big screen amid massive anticipation. The movie is directed by Venkat Prabhu and produced by AGS Entertainment on a budget of around 400 crores. ## The GOAT had early morning shows in Telugu states and as per the initial audience reception, the movie is a mixed bag of everything. While the audience has been praising Thalapathy Vijay for playing the dual role of a middle-aged man and a teenage kid, the movie is lacking in other aspects. ## It has been observed through audience reception that the direction by Venkat Prabhu is uneven with few dragged scenes in the second half. The background music by Yuvan Shankar Raja is also getting thumbs down from the audience. The screenplay of the film is said to be stretched and it needed someone trimming, especially in the second half.## However, Thalapathy Vijay is once again getting high praise for carrying the film on his shoulder, especially the younger version of his dual role is said to be one of the best in his filmography. As said, the movie does offer a fan service with mixed reception from the general audience. ## Thalapathy Vijay, however, proved over the years that he is a critic-proof star as far as box office success is concerned. The GOAT has had excellent pre-sales all over and has opened to houseful boards across Tamil Nadu and many other areas. It is expected to take the opening of 100+ crores gross worldwide, including 50+ crores gross in India. ## Stay tuned...

'Indian 2' Makers Lend In Legal Trouble Over The Film's OTT Release

Chennai, August 29 - Legendary Kamal Haasan and director Shankar reunited for the sequel to their 1997 Indian and released it on the big screen in July this year after years of production delays. Indian 2, produced by Lyca Production, however, failed to create any magic at the box office and ended up as a disaster.## After the no-show at the box office, Indian 2 premiered on the digital platform on August 12, 4 weeks after the theatrical release. Shockingly, the Hindi version of the movie also started streaming in less than 6 weeks after its release and this has put the makers in legal trouble. ## According to the report in Pinkvilla, the Multiplex Association of India has sent a legal notice to the team of Indian 2 for flouting the OTT rules. It is known to everyone that films released in Hindi will have to follow a strict 8-week OTT window, and the ones who don't obey the guidelines, won't get a release in the top 3 national multiplex chains – PVRInox and Cinepolis. ## The report suggests that the makers of Indian 2 had agreed to the guidelines to release the Hindi version, Hindustani 2 in multiplexes, which means, the dubbed version was supposed to be available on OTT on September 6 but MAI was shocked to know that it is already available on Netflix, much before the set window.## The Multiplex Association wants to give a stern message to all the producers to follow the 8-week window and in this process, the organization has sent a legal notice to the Indian 2 team. Multiple people from the MAI and other exhibitors have confirmed this development to Pinkvilla independently on the condition of anonymity. ## Stay tuned...

Chennai, August 27 - Recently, it was reported that Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan would be teaming up with Tamil director Lokesh Kanagaraj after the filmmaker's Coolie with superstar Rajinikanth.

While the official confirmation is yet to be made, it is said that the actor will have a crucial role in the context of the film. ## It is to be noted that Lokesh Kanagaraj had offered the same role to superstar Shah Rukh Khan but later declined the role as SRK doesn't want to feature in an extended role though he has huge respect for legendary Rajinikanth. ## If all goes well, Coolie will mark Rajinikanth and Aamir Khan's reunion after the 1995 Bollywood film Aatank Hi Aatank. Noteably, it will be the first time when Aamir Khan will work with Lokesh Kanagaraj before the director makes his Bollywood debut with the Dangal star, as reported.## Coolie is produced by Sun Pictures, and it also stars Upendra, Sathyaraj, and Shruti Haasan in prominent roles.

New Release Date of Suriya's Pan India Movie 'Kanguva' Revealed Amid Postponement Rumours

Mumbai, August 25 - One of the most-awaited Pan India movies, Suriya's fantasy action drama Kanguva is reportedly on the movie, again. This hasn't been a smooth journey for Siva's directorial which has been in the making for the past 2 years. ## Recently, Lyca Productions scheduled superstar Rajinikanth's Vettaiyan against Kanguva on October 10. This move led to a big shock to distributors as both movies are hugely awaited and the clash would have definitely dented their chances at the box office.## With Vettaiyan being the last to lock the October 10 release knowing all the possibilities, it led to speculations that Kanguva would be postponed to avert the clash and now, the latest reliable reports have confirmed the same. It is said that distributors want Kanguva to come solo to make the most of its potential. ## While the official announcement regarding the postponement is yet to be made, it is being reported that Kanguva, produced by Studio Green, will now be released on October 31, during the Diwali weekend. It will be released in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, and Kannada languages.## Diwali weekend is a good release for the movie as far as South versions are concerned, however, it might get badly affected in Hindi version as two highly-awaited potential Bollywood blockbuster movies are scheduled to be released during the same weekend in the form of Ajay Devgn's Singham Again, and Kartik Aaryan's Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. ## Stay tuned...
