Will Rajinikanth break WAR 2 to be TOP 10 OPENER ? ./ Moksha Kushal Next

 The question is Will Rajinikanth Coolie collect more than Rs 83 crores on opening Day and enter top 10 openers, In a clash with War 2, Coolie will suffer outside Tamil Nadu, which restricts it from entering the top 10 Indian openers of all time at the Indian box office. Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan holds the 10th position on the list, with a day 1 collection of 75 crores. War 2 will easily join the list with a massive start, pushing Jawan out. With Jawan moving out of the top 10, Jr NTR’s Devara will ograb the 10th spot with 83 crores. To enter the list, Rajini’s film will need to surpass Devara, If Coolie maintains a huge  opening in all four States and an average opening in Hindi belt, it is possible. But trade puts it at impossible and here why

Due to Aamir Khan’s presence, Coolie will attract footfalls in the Hindi belt, but they won’t be that high as War 2 will mostly dominate in the Hindi market. Even in the Telugu market, Jr NTR’s presence will give an edge to the War sequel. With a considerable dent in Hindi and Telugu, the Rajinikanth starrer will fail to reach its full potential on day 1. Marking the debut collaboration between director Lokesh Kanagaraj and Thalaiva, the upcoming Kollywood magnum opus is enjoying an immense buzz around itself. Despite a clash, the film will crush War 2 in Tamil Nadu and will likely post record-breaking numbers. However, it will suffer significantly outside the Tamil market due to a clash.

Lokesh to Repeat Leo Record with Coolie / Thalapathy could not folllow Kamal's advice

Why Lokesh Kanagaraj will repeat Leo success with Coolie and Rajinikanth ?  Released in 2023, Leo marked the reunion of Lokesh Kanagaraj and Thalapathy Vijay after Master. With crazy hype on the ground, the film clocked a superb 66 crore net at the Indian box office on day 1.  This figure was possible after Leo clocked high figures in two Telugu States as well as in Kerala and Karnataka. Now Coolie will have to play second fiddle to War 2 that has NTR Je with Hrithik. But looks like Coolie is just a rampage in these States after the lukewarm response to War 2.

Coolie has many things going its way. It has many familiar faces, including Rajinikanth and Nagarjuna. And on top of that there is adequate commercial appeal with the massy BGMs and commercial visuals.

Read more at: https://www.m9.news/movienews/coolie-shock-to-war-2-in-telugu-states. War 2 is going to be a Hindi flavoured spy actioner with very little domestic Telugu touch. Barring the presence of NTR, there might not be too much to get excited for the Telugu audience.

As officially announced, Coolie is scheduled to release on August 14, 2025. In a solo release, the film would  definitely bag the biggest opening ever for a Tamil film, as War 2 is a Hindi film dubbed in Telugu – Tamil .  Vijay’s Leo holds the record of the biggest Kollywood opening at the Indian box office with its massive day 1 collection of 60 crore+.  Lokesh will match it or go one step more with Coolie.

   According to an earlier report by India Today, Kamal Haasan was asked about Vijay’s films in a television interview. The National Award-winning actor responded by saying that Vijay had given some blockbuster films, and he had even seen some of them. But Kamal Haasan also wanted Vijay to make good films like accomplished Hindi film industry actors Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan. He further said that Vijay has the potential to do that. By saying that Vijay should make ‘good films’ like Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan, Kamal Haasan might have meant that he should do films that blend quality storytelling with mass appeal.

Interestingly, Kamal Haasan’s remark about Vijay came in the same year when the latter’s film Bairavaa was released in theatres. Although the film received an underwhelming response from several critics, Bairavaa reportedly became Vijay’s fastest film to breach the 100-crore mark at that time (Via Indian Express) Before that, Vijay starred in Atlee’s action thriller Theri, which is regarded as one of the most popular films of his career. Both these Bollywood stars were doing content-oriented films, which did well commercially. Perhaps that’s why Kamal Haasan cited Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan as examples and wanted Vijay not to focus solely on mass entertainers. An advice that Thalapathy could not take heed. Last film is Jana Nayakan.

Thalapathy Vijay Jana Nayagan crucial scene rights for Rs 4.5 cr / Jhanvi Kapoor slammed

 

As per reports, a crucial good touch bad touch scene from Bhagavanth Kesari, will be included in Jana Nayagan as per actor Vijay's insistence. As per Telugu 360 website, Sahu Garapati, the producer of Bhagavanth Kesari has sealed the deal and quoted for Rs 4.5 crores.

When it comes to Nandamuri Balakrishna, it’s always spread that he gives speeches that are laced with not-so-understandable Telugu poems, and slaps fans and other anger issues. But then, beating all this negativity into the sky, director Anil Ravipudi made sure that he delivered the right message to everyone through Balayya’s powerful stardom. And the iconic good touch bad touch scene is a testimony of that.

The ‘good touch bad touch’ scene from Bhagwant Kesari stands out big time as the message is powerful for young girls about when should they worry about a man’s touch.

The way Balayya details the scene with his powerful expressions and explains to girls that one should not touch them at particular places is something needed for society right now. The likes of hero Rahul Ravindran felt that this powerful communication coming from Balayya would reach everyone in a week which other mediums will take ten years.

In a recent interview with BBC Asian Network, Bosco Martis talked about choreographers being left out while talking about hit songs. While he praised Vicky Kaushal for gracefully giving credit to him for his hit song Tauba Tauba, he talked about Chuttamalle from Devara going viral with no credit for him. "I wish Janhvi would have spoken about it in her promotions, but fine, it's okay.", said Bosco with a smile. He added, "If they don't realise it, I think, then they don't realise it. So, you do your work, and maybe it's a switch I don't know!" Going back through Bosco interviews , he had given gone gaga over NTR Jr dance movements in the song and kept silent about Jhanvi.

'Chuttamalle' song from Jr NTR and Janhvi Kapoor’s film Devara: Part 1 was an instant chartbuster. Although the song initially faced criticism and backlash for plagiarism, it continued to receive support from Jr NTR fans. The song was also trending high for the number of reels and memes that were made.
