Bharateeyudu 2 Review: Kamal Haasan Returns, but Does the Sequel Match the Original's Brilliance?
Cast: Kamal Haasan, Siddharth, Kajal Aggarwal, Rakul Preet Singh, Priya Bhavani, Vivek
Director: Shankar
Music: Anirudh Ravichander
Cinematographer: Ravi Varman
Editor: Sreekar Prasad
Producer: Allirajah Subaskaran
Release Date: 12-07-2024
Kamal Haasan and director Shankar's original film, 'Bharateeyudu', which debuted twenty-five years ago, became a sensation for its intense critique of corruption and bribery. The sequel, titled 'Bharateeyudu 2', was released in theaters on July 12. Alongside Kamal Haasan, the film stars Siddharth, Rakul Preet Singh, S.J. Surya, Bobby Simha, Brahmanandam, and Samuthirakani in pivotal roles. Has this film met expectations? Has Kamal Haasan once again captivated audiences as Bharateeyudu2? Let's explore in this review.
Plot
Aravindan (Siddharth) and his friends fight against corruption and injustices within the country. They spread awareness through social media videos and urge the return of Bharateeyudu. In response, the veteran freedom fighter Senapathi (Kamal Haasan), known for his previous anti-corruption crusades, returns to India. He takes decisive action against those deeply involved in corruption and motivates the youth. However, unexpected developments stir public dissent against Bharateeyudu. What exactly unfolded? Why did the public turn against Senapathi? What triggered their anger? Did Bharateeyudu succeed in his objectives upon returning? This forms the crux of the story.
Performance
In 'Bharateeyudu 2', Kamal Haasan delivers a virtuoso performance, reprising the role of Senapathi with remarkable skill. Siddharth also stands out in a pivotal role. Rakul Preet Singh and S.J. Surya enhance the film with their performances, although their characters are somewhat underdeveloped. The rest of the cast delivers adequate performances.
Direction
Director Shankar seems to have merely repeated the narrative of Bharateeyudu. He updated an outdated story to fit modern times, focusing the sequel on showcasing how Bharateeyudu would eliminate corruption today. Shankar’s usual flair is missing in the direction. The screenplay is lackluster, and even Kamal Haasan's introduction isn't as engaging. While some scenes are well-executed, others fail to make an impact. However, Kamal Haasan's chase sequences and the fight scenes with terrorists are highlights. The social message adds some strength to the film, but the lack of father-daughter sentiment and uninspiring songs from the first film negatively impact this one. Overall, the sequel fails to mesmerize the audience as Senapathi did before.
Technical Aspects
On the technical front, the music by Anirudh Ravichander isn't memorable, though the background score is good. However, in some scenes, the BGM dominates too much. The cinematography is commendable, and the editing is passable. The production values are high, showing no compromise on spending.

Public Talk: What Are Netizens Saying?
On Twitter, 'Bharateeyudu 2' is receiving mixed reactions. While a few comment that the film is good, many are posting that it's a flop, surrounding it with negative talk. Some even question if Shankar really directed the film.
A netizen on Twitter called 'Bharateeyudu 2' a disaster, expressing dissatisfaction with its boring and outdated story.
https://twitter.com/TheWarriorr26/status/1811574234780733548
Another netizen said the story progresses boringly. They noted that the first half lacks gripping and exciting sequences.
https://twitter.com/newMovieBuff007/status/1811561032780820788
One person tweeted that the movie was discouraging, with a very poor screenplay and emotional scenes that didn't work, making 'Indian 3' seem unlikely.
https://twitter.com/TheWarriorr26/status/1811574234780733548
A netizen named Vijay posted that 'Indian 2' was a below-average film. However, they found the trailer for 'Indian 3' played during the climax somewhat interesting, raising hopes for the next installment.
https://twitter.com/vijay827482/status/1811579025699066091
Another netizen praised 'Bharateeyudu 2', complimenting Shankar's direction as next-level and Kamal Haasan's acting and action sequences. They gave the movie a four-star rating.

Dhoom Dhaam Review: Does the Family Drama and Comedy Deliver Enough Punch?
Cast: Chetan Krishna, Chetan Maddineni, Vennela Kishore, Sai Kumar, Vinay Varma, Praveen, Naveen Neni, Goparaju Ramana, and others.
Director: Sai Kishore Macha
Music: Gopi Sundar
Cinematography: Siddharth Ramaswamy
Producer: M.S. Ram Kumar
Release Date: November 8, 2024
The latest film ‘Dhoom Dhaam,’ starring Chetan Maddineni and Hebah Patel, directed by Sai Kishore Macha, also features Sai Kumar, Vennela Kishore, Prithviraj, and Goparaju Ramana in key roles. Produced by M.S. Ram Kumar under the Friday Frameworks banner, the film finally arrived in theaters on November 8. Has it impressed the Telugu audience? Let’s dive into the review.
What's the Story
Karthik (Chetan Maddineni) shares a deep bond with his father, Ramaraju (Sai Kumar), with both father and son supporting and caring for each other. One day, Karthik falls in love with Suhana (Hebah Patel) at first sight, though she initially doesn’t reciprocate. Frustrated, Karthik heads to Poland, where Suhana follows him, eventually winning his love. Meanwhile, Karthik has a long-standing feud with Suhana’s uncle (Ramaraju) and her father’s brother (Benarjee), who want to kill him. What’s behind this enmity? How does Karthik resolve these issues? Do Karthik and Suhana unite in the end? To find out, you’ll need to watch the movie.
Performance
Chetan Krishna, as Karthik, delivers a decent performance, showing growth in his acting, though he could have worked more on expressions, especially in key scenes. Hebah Patel impresses as Suhana, returning to a commercial role and scoring well with both her charm and acting. Their chemistry works well on screen. Vennela Kishore, in the role of Karthik’s cousin, steals the show with his comedy, which is a major strength of the film. Sai Kumar, Goparaju Ramana, Shivannarayana, Benarjee, Sai Srinivas, Praveen, and Giridhar all perform within their roles effectively.
Direction
Director Sai Kishore Macha has chosen a straightforward storyline. However, his effort to deliver a good romantic and family entertainer is commendable. Even with a love track, he avoids vulgarity, carefully presenting the bond between father and son, father and daughter, and other family relationships. The first half focuses on the love story, minor conflicts, and misunderstandings, which feel a bit routine, with Praveen’s comedic relief standing out. The interval twist brings intrigue into the second half, where the backstory of the heroine’s family unfolds, giving the film more depth. Vennela Kishore shoulders most of the second half with his comedy. However, slow narration, underutilized casting, and a few unclear expressions from the hero act as drawbacks.
Technical Aspects
On the technical front, Gopi Sundar’s music is a big asset. The songs are enjoyable, and the background score adds a fresh feel. Siddharth Ramaswamy’s cinematography is impressive, with vibrant visuals. The editor could have tightened the runtime further. The production values are outstanding, with no expense spared by the producers.
Plus Points
- Vennela Kishore’s comedy
- Family emotions
- Music
Minus Points
- Routine story
- Regular love track
- Slow narration

Vijay's 'The GOAT': A Predictable Action Drama with Strong Performances and High Expectations
Cast: Vijay, Meenakshi Chaudhary, Prabhu Deva, Prashant Thyagarajan, Kokila Mohan, Jayaram, Sneha, VTV Ganesh, Aravind Akash, Vaibhav Reddy, and others.
Story and Direction: Venkat Prabhu
Music: Yuvan Shankar Raja
Cinematography: Siddharth Nuni
Editing: Venkat Rajan
Producers: Kalpathi S. Aghoram, Kalpathi S. Ganesh, Kalpathi S. Suresh
Tamil star hero Vijay stars in the latest action thriller 'The GOAT' (The Greatest of All Time), directed by Venkat Prabhu. The film also features Meenakshi Chaudhary as the female lead, with important roles played by Sneha, Laila, Prashant, and Prabhu Deva. This film is notable for its use of de-aging technology. With rumors circulating that this might be Vijay's last film before entering politics, expectations for the film were quite high. How did the film turn out? How much did it captivate the audience? Did it provide another unforgettable success for Vijay or not? Let’s find out in this review.
Plot
Gandhi (Vijay), a special anti-terrorism squad officer, conducts various successful missions with his teammates Sunil (Prashant), Ajay (Ajmal), and Kalyan Sundaram (Prabhu Deva). However, he keeps his job a secret from his wife Anu (Sneha). During one mission abroad, his five-year-old son dies. Believing her husband to be responsible, Anu distances herself from Gandhi. Distraught, Gandhi leaves the force. Years later, on a trip to Moscow, he encounters his son Jeevan (Vijay), whom he thought was dead, alive. Overjoyed, he brings him back to India. From then on, Gandhi’s acquaintances start dying one by one. Who is responsible for these deaths? How did his presumed-dead son come back? How does Gandhi stop the killings? These questions form the crux of the story.
Performances
Vijay delivers a dual role, excelling as Gandhi but the young Vijay’s digitally aged look as Jeevan might feel a bit off, not entirely convincing. Vijay shines again in action sequences and emotional scenes, proving his star quality. Meenakshi Chaudhary as the heroine doesn’t have much of a role, feeling more like a guest appearance. Prashant, Ajmal, and Prabhu Deva as squad members are adequate but not outstanding. Jayaram, as the head of the squad, captivates with his performance. Sneha impresses with her acting as Gandhi’s wife. Tamil youth hero Shiva Karthikeyan makes a mark in a cameo, and Trisha excites in a special song appearance. The rest of the cast performs adequately within their roles.
Direction
Director Venkat Prabhu’s storyline lacks novelty. The narrative of a hero working in defense and the villain raising his son to turn against him has been seen many times before. However, the scenes detailing the son’s revenge feel engaging. The first half is mostly spent introducing the characters, and the plot progresses as expected until the pre-interval. The interval scene raises curiosity for the second half, which, although predictable, includes some twists that surprise the audience. The comedy and dialogues are deeply rooted in Tamil culture, which might not entirely appeal to the Telugu audience. However, Vijay’s fans will likely find the film quite entertaining.
Technically
On the technical front, the songs by Yuvan Shankar Raja are forgettable, not leaving a lasting impact. However, the background music enhances the action sequences, elevating them to another level. The graphic department could have done better, especially with Vijay’s de-aging look. Editing is competent. The production values are high, showing no compromise in terms of budget.
Plus Points
- Vijay’s performance
- Action sequences
- Climax
Minus Points
- Predictable plot
- Slow first half

35 Chinna Katha Kaadu Review: A Heartfelt Tale of Family, Education, and Triumph with Stellar Performances
Cast: Nivetha Thomas, Priyadarshi, Vishwadev R, Gauthami, Bhagyaraj, Krishna Teja, Abhay, Ananya, and others
Screenplay and Direction: Nandakishore Imani
Music: Vivek Sagar
Cinematography: Niketh Bommireddy
Editing: T.C. Prasanna
Presented by: Rana Daggubati
Producers: Srujan, Siddharth
Release Date: 09-06-2024
Starring Nivetha Thomas, Vishwadev R, and Priyadarshi in lead roles, the film '35 Chinna Katha Kaadu' is directed by Nandakishore Imani. The movie, produced by prominent actor Rana Daggubati, features Nivetha Thomas in a mother's role for the first time. The trailer, already released, has heightened expectations. The movie is set to release on September 6 in Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam, but a special premiere was held for the press one day earlier. How did the film turn out? Did Nivetha’s new venture succeed? Let's examine in this review.
Plot
Prasad (Vishwadev) and Saraswati (Nivetha Thomas) are a middle-class couple. For Saraswati, her husband and two sons, Arun and Varun, are her world. Arun, the elder son, studies in the sixth grade and struggles with math. His logical questions often leave teachers without answers. As a result, the math teacher Chanakya (Priyadarshi) challenges him by setting the bar at achieving at least 35 marks in math to stay in school, labeling him "Zero" for his continuous poor performance. This forces Arun to sit in his younger brother’s class. How does Arun handle this situation? How does he become a hero in his class? What does his mother Saraswati, who failed tenth grade, do to help her son understand math? Did Arun manage to score the necessary 35 marks? That forms the rest of the story.
Performances
Nivetha Thomas excels as Saraswati, embodying the role of a mother of two, a wife, and an educator with finesse. Her expressions and emotional depth stand out. Priyadarshi, as the math teacher Chanakya, delivers a memorable performance, portraying a strict yet caring teacher. The dynamic between Nivetha and Chanakya is one of the pillars of this film. Vishwadev does well as the husband. The two children playing Arun and Varun captivate with their performances. Bhagyaraj, Krishna Teja, and others contribute significantly in other key roles.
Direction
Director Nandakishore Imani crafted '35 Chinna Katha Kaadu' with a message-oriented approach, highlighting flaws in the educational system. He also explores how teachers should interact with students and the dynamics between spouses. The first half is filled with humor and family emotions, which are engaging. The chemistry between Nivetha Thomas and Vishwadev, portraying middle-class life, is well depicted. The school environment and the challenges faced by students are convincingly shown. Emotional scenes in the family in the second half are touching. However, the film’s pace can be slow at times, and the lack of commercial elements and some dialogues might not hit the mark with all viewers.
Technically
In the technical department, the music and cinematography are well-executed. Vivek Sagar’s background score is a significant plus, enhancing the emotional scenes. The editing is decent, though a tighter cut in some dragging scenes would have been beneficial. The production values are high, reflecting a no-compromise approach in terms of quality.
Plus Points
- Engaging narrative
- Performances by Nivetha and Priyadarshi
- Emotional scenes
Minus Points
- Slow narration
- Lack of high points in the story

Bahishkarana Series Review: Anjali's Riveting Portrayal in a Tale of Love and Revenge
Cast: Anjali, Ananya Nagalla, Chaitanya Sagiraju, Ravindra Vijay, Shanmukh, Mahaboob Basha, Sri Tej, Baby Chaitra, Sammeta Gandhi, and others.
Directed by: Mukesh Prajapati
Cinematography: Prasanna S. Kumar
Music by: Siddharth Sadashivuni
Editing: Raviteja Girijala
Producer: Prashant Malishetti
OTT Platform: ZEE5
Release Date: July 19, 2024
Renowned actress Anjali stars as a prostitute in the series 'Bahishkarana,' a rural revenge action drama directed by Mukesh Prajapati. The series also features significant roles by Ravindra Vijay, Ananya Nagalla, Sri Tej, Shanmukh, Mahaboob Basha, and Chaitanya Sagiraju. Promotional materials have already heightened expectations for this series, which premiered on ZEE5 on July 19, consisting of six episodes. Let's delve into the review to see how this web series fares.
Plot
Set in the 1990s in Peddapalli, a village in Guntur district, the story centers around Shivayya (Ravindra Vijay), the authoritarian village president whose influence manipulates the lives of the villagers, especially women. Among them is Pushpa (Anjali), who lives under his control as his concubine. Darshi (Sri Tej), an employee of Shivayya, falls in love with Pushpa and they plan to marry. However, Shivayya, feigning agreement, strategically sabotages their plans and instead marries Darshi to his niece, Lakshmi (Ananya Nagalla). Amidst this chaos, Darshi finds himself wrongly embroiled in a legal case. The unfolding drama explores who framed Darshi, his confrontation with Shivayya, the repercussions he faces, and how Pushpa, with the aid of Lakshmi, seeks revenge against Shivayya. The series delves into these compelling dynamics.
Performances
Anjali is captivating in the role of a prostitute. With her dialogues and mannerisms, she mesmerized the audience. She beautifully portrays the variations of a woman forced into a life she dislikes and struggling for her lover's affection. Anjali also shines in action sequences, particularly impressing in the climax. Sri Tej as Darshi delivers a compelling performance, embodying a young man from the lower strata who cannot tolerate injustice. Ananya Nagalla as Lakshmi offers a natural performance, while Ravindra Vijay as the villainous Shivayya delivers a solid performance, appearing powerful through his dialogues and looks. The rest of the cast adequately fulfill their roles.
Direction
Director Mukesh Prajapati crafts this series as a period revenge action drama. He brings to life the struggle of a prostitute fighting against the injustices done to her lover. The series vividly portrays how caste discriminations dominated rural areas in the past, showing how the upper classes oppressed the lower castes and particularly women. The series touches on delicate issues like caste and untouchability, giving importance to drama and emotions. However, despite a promising concept, the presentation feels routine and the series progresses flatly without significant twists. While the backdrop of prostitution offers a fresh element, the rest of the storyline recalls plots from older films. Some disturbing scenes aside, 'Bahishkarana' consistently entertains.
Technically
On the technical front, cinematographer Prasanna S. Kumar does an excellent job. His camera work effectively transports the audience back to the 1990s. Siddharth Sadashivuni's background score is a significant plus, elevating the action sequences to a higher level. The production values are also notably high.
Plus Points
- Anjali's performance
- Periodic revenge drama
- Background music
Minus Points
- Lack of twists
- Some boring scenes

These characters manage to hold the audience's attention throughout their screen presence.

In 'Baahubali', following the roles of Prabhas and Rana, the character that stands out most is Kattappa. Director Rajamouli skillfully shaped this role, making it integral to the film. Imagining 'Baahubali' without Kattappa is difficult. Veteran actor Sathyaraj embodied this character completely, providing a memorable performance.

The Rise of Pan India Cinema: Stars Breaking 100 Crore Opening Records on Day One
The wave of Pan India films is currently ongoing in the country. Once confined to their own industries, star heroes are now proving their mettle in other industries as well. They are releasing their films at a national level and collecting large sums of money, with some of them amassing over Rs. 100 crores in their accounts on the first day itself. A recent highlight is the film 'Devara' starring Tarak, which raked in Rs. 172 crores on its first day. Let's now review who these star heroes are, who have managed to place their films in the Rs. 100 crore club on day one.
Prabhas
Currently, Prabhas enjoys an unmatched craze in the country. Whenever his film is released, records are expected to break. Prabhas tops as the hero who most frequently earned over Rs. 100 crores on the first day. Prabhas achieved this feat five times with 'Baahubali 2' (Rs. 214.5 crores), 'Saaho' (Rs. 130 crores), 'Adipurush' (Rs. 140 crores), 'Salaar' (Rs. 178.7 crores), and 'Kalki 2898 AD' (Rs. 191.5 crores).
Vijay
Following Prabhas, Vijay has also often surpassed Rs. 100 crores in collections on the first day. His films 'Leo', and 'The G.O.A.T' managed to achieve this feat. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, 'Leo' earned Rs. 145 crores on its first day. The recently released 'The Greatest Of All Time' collected Rs. 126.3 crores on its first day.
Jr NTR
With the success of the movie 'Devara', Tarak has positioned himself in the top 3 of this list. Two of his films managed to surpass the Rs. 100 crore mark on their first day.

The recent film 'Kalki 2898 AD', crafted by creative director Nag Ashwin and starring pan-India star Prabhas, features legendary actors Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, and Bollywood beauties Deepika Padukone and Disha Patani in major roles. This film has created a sensation at the box office, collecting over Rs. 1200 crores globally and setting new records. Recently, the makers have released this movie on OTT, bringing it to two platforms. Currently, on OTT, 'Kalki' is making new records and is trending as the second film globally. Let’s look into these details.
Trending on a Global Scale
The film 'Kalki 2898 AD' has been available on OTT since August 22. The Kalki movie in South Indian languages, including Telugu, is streaming on Amazon Prime, while the Hindi version is available on Netflix. However, the Hindi version of 'Kalki' is soaring with record views on Netflix. It secured second place in the global trending list in non-English categories over the past week. The Hindi version of Kalki has achieved 4.5 million minutes viewed, as disclosed by Netflix sources. It's being touted as the first Indian movie to achieve this feat in such a short time, indicating that 'Kalki' is also making waves globally on OTT.
Behind in Amazon
As known, the Kalki film is streaming in South Indian languages on Amazon. However, 'Kalki 2898 AD' starring Prabhas is facing strong competition from 'Raayan’, a film featuring Dhanush, which premiered on Amazon a day later on August 23. Despite this, 'Raayan' is trending at the top spot in India, pushing 'Kalki' to the second place on Amazon with more views. However, with many already having watched 'Kalki', 'Raayan' is gaining popularity on OTT.
'The Best of This Generation’…
Hero Siddharth has praised the 'Kalki' team. Recently posting about the film, he lauded Prabhas’s role as exceptional. "I really like Prabhas. His character Bhairava will always remain my favorite. His acting as Karnudu is wonderful. Nag Ashwin has done an excellent job. This is the best film of this generation. I can’t help but praise Nag Ashwin and Vyjayanthi Movies. The film made such collections because it’s truly a great cinema," said Siddharth. Furthermore, Vijay Deverakonda, Dulquer Salmaan, Rajamouli, and RGV made surprise cameo appearances in the Kalki film, delighting the audience.
Prabhas: The Biggest Star
Tamil star hero Vikram has praised hero Prabhas, who is making waves with pan-India films. Speaking in an interview about his latest film 'Thangalaan', Vikram elevated Prabhas, saying, “Prabhas is now the biggest superstar in India. It's not fair to just call him a Telugu hero.” Malavika, who also participated in the same interview, made intriguing remarks about Prabhas. She expressed joy at getting the opportunity to act with Prabhas in 'Raja Saab' and praised him for transcending language barriers in cinema. She was amazed at the admiration audiences have for his films. Malavika clarified that the film 'Raja Saab' is set to mesmerize audiences at a pan-India level.

Indian 2 Weekend Collections: 'Bharateeyudu 2' takes a significant drop in earnings. How much over the weekend?
The film 'Bharateeyudu 2', starring Kamal Haasan and directed by Shankar, is facing difficulties at the box office. Negative reviews from its first showing have significantly impacted its earnings. As a result, the revenue over Saturday and Sunday was low, causing the weekend collections to plummet. There is now widespread speculation that the film will be a disaster.
How much were the weekend collections?
Trade circles announced that 'Bharateeyudu 2' only managed to garner ₹59 crores over the weekend. It earned ₹25 crores on its first day, and significantly less, ₹18.2 crores on Saturday and ₹15.1 crores on Sunday. Saturday collections for the Tamil version were ₹13.7 crores, Telugu ₹3.2 crores, and Hindi ₹1.3 crores. Expected to increase, Sunday's collections instead dropped further, making ₹15.1 crores in India, with the Tamil version alone bringing in ₹11 crores. Telugu and Hindi versions only made ₹2.8 crores and ₹1.3 crores respectively.
Further decline expected!
With collections failing to meet expectations in the first weekend, the film crew is expressing concern. If this is the situation in the first week, there is apprehension about how much the collections could drop in the coming days. It's reported that some theater owners, especially in the Telugu states, are considering halting the screenings due to low turnout. Therefore, from Monday onwards, 'Bharateeyudu 2' is expected to perform even worse, with the Tamil market remaining the only hope for the film.
Day 1 collections?
Negative reviews impacted 'Bharateeyudu 2' on its first day, earning only ₹25.6 crores (GROSS) as reported by trade circles. The Tamil version collected the highest with ₹16.5 crores. Telugu earned ₹7.9 crores and Hindi just ₹1.2 crores. The film completely failed to attract the Hindi audience, leading to dismal collections in the north. The lack of interest from the Telugu audience was also noted.
A significant drop compared to other films!
Compared to Kamal Haasan's previous film 'Vikram', which earned ₹60 crores on its opening day, 'Bharateeyudu 2' saw a drastic fall in its Day 1 collections. His recent villain role in 'Kalki 2898 AD' garnered over ₹190 crores on its first day. Director Shankar's last film 'Robo 2.0' also created a record by collecting ₹93 crores on its opening day. However, 'Bharateeyudu 2' released on Friday didn't even come close to these films, collecting less than half of their Day 1 earnings, which surprised trade analysts.
Why did the collections drop?
The primary reason for the disappointing Day 1 collections of 'Bharateeyudu 2' is believed to be its failure to meet expectations. An outdated story and a weak screenplay significantly hurt the film. While the social message provided some strength, the lack of father-daughter sentiment, which was a plus in 'Bharateeyudu', turned out to be a negative. The songs also failed to impress, further impacting the film negatively. Overall, the sequel disappointed many, as netizens widely expressed their dissatisfaction. These factors likely contributed to the poor box office performance of 'Bharateeyudu 2'.
What is the story about?
Aravindan (Siddharth) and his friends fight against corruption and injustices within the country. They spread awareness through social media videos and urge the return of Bharateeyudu. In response, the veteran freedom fighter Senapathi (Kamal Haasan), known for his previous anti-corruption crusades, returns to India. He takes decisive action against those deeply involved in corruption and motivates the youth. However, unexpected developments stir public dissent against Bharateeyudu. What exactly unfolded? Why did the public turn against Senapathi? What triggered their anger? Did Bharateeyudu succeed in his objectives upon returning? This forms the crux of the story.

Bharateeyudu 2 Day 1 Collections: Unexpected Shock for ‘Bharateeyudu 2’, Significant Drop in Collections!
The film 'Bharateeyudu 2', directed by Shankar and starring Kamal Haasan, came with high expectations due to the blockbuster success of its predecessor, 'Bharateeyudu'. Released globally on Friday, July 12, the film failed to meet audience expectations and received mixed reviews on its opening day. Disappointed by the film, some netizens expressed their dissatisfaction on social media platforms. How did 'Bharateeyudu 2' perform in terms of day one collections? And how did the mixed reviews impact its earnings? Let's explore.
Day 1 Collections:
The negative reviews for 'Bharateeyudu 2' seem to have impacted its first-day collections significantly. According to trade sources, the film grossed Rs. 25.6 crores on its opening day, with the Tamil version alone contributing Rs. 16.5 crores. In Telugu, it earned Rs. 7.9 crores, and in Hindi, a mere Rs. 1.2 crores. Trade analysts pointed out that the film failed to captivate the Hindi-speaking audience, resulting in notably poor collections in the north. Additionally, the Telugu audience also showed limited interest in the movie, as noted by film analysts.
A Significant Drop in Collections!
Compared to Kamal Haasan’s previous film 'Vikram', which earned Rs. 60 crores on its opening day, 'Bharateeyudu 2' saw a substantial drop in day one collections. Even his recent antagonist role in 'Kalki 2898 AD', which debuted with more than Rs. 190 crores, and director Shankar’s last film 'Robo 2.0', which grossed Rs. 93 crores on its first day, outperformed 'Bharateeyudu 2'. It is noteworthy that 'Indian 2' did not even come close to these films in terms of first-day earnings, baffling trade analysts.
Why the Decline in Revenue?
Film analysts believe the main reason for the disappointing first-day collections of 'Bharateeyudu 2' is its failure to meet expectations. An outdated story and a weak screenplay significantly harmed the film. Although the social message added some strength, the lack of the father-daughter sentiment, a key element in the original 'Bharateeyudu', was a major drawback. The songs also failed to impress, contributing to the negative impact on the movie. Netizens also posted extensively about their disappointment, suggesting that these factors likely led to the poor box office performance of 'Bharateeyudu 2'.
