Nani and Keerthy Suresh-starrer period action drama Dasara hit theatres on Thursday and received favourable reviews from both critics and viewers. The movie created excitement among fans, ever since the project was announced. According to reports, the film’s team were expecting to receive wonderful openings everywhere. They also claimed this movie would get the best opening in Nani’s career. All this has turned out to be true. According to trade analysts, Dasara marks the best opening of Nani’s career. It is said that this film will receive a share in the range of Rs 10 crore. Trade sources say that if the same flow continues for night shows too, these collections are likely to increase. Dasara created a good buzz with its songs and trailer. Nani and Keerthy Suresh did an amazing job too, critics believe. It is said that this raw and rustic film, which was shot in the backdrop of Singareni coal mines near Godavarikhani of Telangana, has pleased the audience. Reports say the movie is also getting good reception in America. There the film has already registered over 500K dollars in pre-sales. Trade sources say the film will run in theatres for a long time. The movie was massively released in 2,710 theatres worldwide. In Andhra Pradesh, it was released in 900 theatres in Telangana. This movie was released in 80 theatres in Karnataka, 80 in Tamil Nadu,100 in Kerala and 750 theatres in the rest of India.

Ajay Devgn’s Bholaa earns Rs 10 crore on opening day, falls short of Drishyam 2’s Day 1 collection

Ajay Devgn and Tabu-starrer Bholaa registered a double-digit opening day collection but fell short of the Day 1 earnings of the duo’s last theatrical release Drishyam 2, which hit theatres last year in November. According to Box Office India, Bholaa earned Rs 10 crore on its Day 1 in theatres against Drishyam 2’s opening day collection of Rs 15.38 crore. The Ajay-directed action thriller released in over 4,000 screens across India on Thursday. Ajay’s last outing as a director was the 2022 flight drama Runway 34 which hadn’t performed well at the domestic box office. It registered a lifetime collection of Rs 32.96 crore nett. Despite Thursday being a holiday in many parts of the country, Bholaa’s opening day earnings were not up to the mark, say trade analysts. With the IPL 2023 season starting tonight, it could get harder for the film to draw audiences to theatres. Bholaa, however, has raked in more money on Day 1 than Kartik Aaryan-starrer Shehzada (Rs 7 crore nett) and Akshay Kumar’s Selfiee (Rs 2.5 crore nett). Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor’s romantic comedy Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar (Rs 15.73 crore) and Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Pathaan (Rs 57 crore nett) have reported the highest opening day collection in 2023 so far. An adaptation of the 2019 Tamil film Kaithi, Bholaa is clashing at the box office with Nani’s Dasara, Silambarasan-starrer Pathu Thala and Chris Pine-Hugh Grant-starrer Dungeons & Dragons. Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar, Rani Mukherji-starrer Mrs. Chatterjee Vs Norway, and Keanu Reeves-starrer John Wick: Chapter 4 are also running successfully at the theatres.

Vijay Sethupathi Slams Rohini Theatre for Denying Tribal Family Entry Into The Hall

The Rohini Theatre in Chennai continues to draw flak for not letting in a tribal family, despite having tickets. The latest to condemn the incident is actor Vijay Sethupathi. He spoke at the photo exhibition of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin. The exhibition, commemorating chief minister M K Stalin’s public life, was opened at Menenthal in Madurai to mark his 70th birthday. Rare photographs of the chief minister and his travels are on display at the exhibition, which is realistically portrayed by statues and models. Vijay Sethupathi visited the exhibition. While talking to reporters, he said that after witnessing the entire exhibition, he was sure that all claims that CM Stalin had come to power through succession politics were false. He added that he had great respect for the Chief Minister. Later, when asked him about the staff not allowing the tribals who came to watch a movie at the Rohini Theatre in Chennai, he strongly condemned the entire incident. “This kind of oppression is totally unacceptable. The earth was created for all human beings to live together equally. We must stand up to whoever oppresses another human being”, he said. Earlier, Vijay Sethupathi donated 1000 books to Madurai Central Jail for the prison library project. Special early-morning screenings of films starring big names are held at Rohini Theatre. It resembles nothing short of a funfair during the FDFS (first-day first shows) of films, complete with a DJ stand and cut-outs erected at the premises. A tribal family purchased tickets for Pathu Thala’s early morning show on March 30. The management team forbade them from entering. In a video, patrons are seen questioning the theatre staff member on why they are not being allowed inside the venue. The tribal family was later permitted entry into the hall after the issue was brought up with the theatre management. Pathu Thala is a 2023 Indian Tamil-language action thriller film directed by Obeli N Krishna. The film stars Silambarasan and Gautham Karthik in the lead roles.

Viral Acharya, the former Reserve Bank of India deputygovernor, has said India’s biggest conglomerates — Reliance Group, the Tatas, Aditya Birla Group, Adani Group and Bharti Telecom, loosely labelled as the Big 5 — need to be broken up as they are contributing to elevated inflation in the country.“Sky high tariffs” have shielded these conglomerates against competition from foreign companies, he said.

Acharya made these observations in a paper presented at a Brookings Institute conference. Acharya, who has slammed the Modi government in the past, especially in his outburst against the move to trammel RBI’s independence when he was on Mint Street, attacks Modi’s industrial policy that relies more on industrialist cronies — rather than states — to deliver outcomes.``Arguably, this growth has also been supported by a conscious industrial policy of creating `national champions’ via preferential allocation of projects and in some cases, regulatory agencies turning a blind eye to predatory pricing.” “Such growth of conglomerates raises several concerns, such as the risk of crony capitalism, i.e., political connections and inefficient project allocations.
