Kichcha Sudeep’s Christmas release Max is now surrendering at the box office, and in 14 days, the film stands at a total collection of 44.43 crore. It might be the highest-grossing Kannada film of 2024, but it is far from recovering its huge budget at the box office!

Budget & Recovery

The South Indian International Movie Awards (Siima) have concluded, and films ‘Rrr’, ‘Sita Ramam’, ‘777 Charlie’, ‘Kantara’ and ‘Kgf: Chapter 2’ stole the thunder. The award shows ran from September 15-16 in Dubai, with the first night announcing winners in the Telugu and Kannada categories and the second for Tamil and Malayalam. For the unversed, Siima stands to honour the artistry of South Indian cinema in all the four languages: Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada, as well as provide a platform for South Indian cinemas to get more international reception.

South cinema began making some headway into the international markets such as Japan, South Korea, China, Russia, Indonesia and Turkey, primarily due to the charm of superstar Rajinikanth as early as the ‘90s.

Though it only made some major inroads in 2015, with director S.S. Rajamouli’s Telugu epic franchise, ‘Baahubali’, and then exploded with ‘Rrr’ in 2022, giving it full attention in the West.

Director Mallidi Vassishta’s critically acclaimed Telugu superhit film, ‘Bimbisara’, featuring Nandamuri Kalyan Ram in the lead, will have its world digital premiere on Ott on October 21 this year.

The film is to release on the Ott platform, ZEE5. Produced by N.T.R Arts, the critically acclaimed Telugu film features Catherine Tresa, Samyuktha Menon and Prakash Raj in pivotal roles along with Nandamuri Kalyan Ram and Warina Hussain, Vennela Kishore, Srinivas Reddy, Brahmaji, Sai Kiran, Ayyappa P. Sharma and others in secondary roles.

The film will be available on ZEE5 from October 21, 2022 in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi.

The film begins in the year 500 B.C when Bimbisara (Kalyan Ram) is the emperor of the Trigartala empire.

A vile egomaniac, his violent antics have no limits. However, his ego trip ends when his banished twin brother Devadatta ambushes him and teleports him – through a magical mirror – to the present-day world.

Bollywood is facing an existential crisis it has never experienced in its lifetime. In a country where the top-end model of the Mahindra XUV700 has a waiting period extending up to February 2024, and the most recent date for a U.S. visa interview is some time in June 2024, you can just walk into a Hindi film screening anytime, anywhere, because no one’s watching what’s coming out of Bollywood.

With a loaded release calendar, starting with the VFX-heavy ‘Brahmastra’ and going up to Shah Rukh Khan’s much-anticipated ‘Jawan’ and the Salman Khan-starrer ‘Tiger 3’, riding on its broke back, Bollywood is facing the double whammy of its established stars all seeming to be well past their sell-by date and its scriptwriters appearing to be completely out of touch with the paradigm shift in consumer preferences.

The tanking of Aamir Khan’s ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ and Akshay Kumar...

After disaster struck the two Independence Day long weekend releases — Aamir Khan’s long-awaited, mega-hyped ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ and the Akshay Kumar-starrer ‘Raksha Bandhan’ — a wag commented that Bollywood has become like the Congress: it has only its past to live on and stares at a dim future, unless a miracle happens.

For Aamir, ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ has been his worst commercially since his 2000 film ‘Mela’, despite getting a five-day holiday weekend, starting with Raksha Bandhan on August 11 and ending with Independence Day. And it has been his second successive flop after the ‘Thugs of Hindostan’, which bombed despite the additional presence of Amitabh Bachchan.

For Akshay Kumar, ‘Raksha Bandhan’ has been his third successive dud — starting with ‘Bachchan Pandey’, which got wiped out by ‘The Kashmir Files’, and ‘Samrat Prithviraj’, despite the film being endorsed by the Bjp top brass and made tax-free in three states.
