Tollywood Shock: 93% For Producer, 7% For Single Screens?

The people showing movies in Telangana are not happy with how the movie makers are splitting the profits from films. The movie show organizers want to get a share based on percentages, but the movie makers are not agreeing and want to use a rental system instead.

Balgovind Raj, who owns the Sudarshan theatre, shared some information about how the profits work.

 He explained how the money is divided when a movie makes a certain amount of revenue.

On average, if a movie makes one crore rupees, here's how the money is divided.

Single screen theatres pay rent of 7 lakh rupees, and the movie makers get 93 lakh rupees.

In the percentage system used by multiplexes, the multiplexes take 45 lakh rupees and the movie makers get 55 lakh rupees.

Balgovind also said they made a good profit when the movie Dhurandhar was released.

 The movie did well at the box office, and they earned a lot of money because of the percentage system. Right now, no matter how popular a Bollywood movie is, it's released using the percentage share system.

With Peddi coming out on June 4th, we'll have to see what the final decision will be.

Sing Geetham: From Gambler To Lively Guy

At 94 years old, Singeetham Sreenivasa Rao is finally making his long-time dream come true by directing the film Sing Geetham. Nag Ashwin is supporting the project through Vyjayanthi Movies. Recently, the team showed off the title glimpse and a deleted song, and they also introduced three main characters at an event in Vizag.

The video introducing Ayaan as Prathap starts with Singeetham Sreenivasa Rao explaining his vision for the film.

 Even though the character was originally meant to be a carefree gambler, Singeetham wanted Prathap to be more lively, magnetic, and full of charm.

The video then shows a fun mix of behind-the-scenes moments, like Ayaan working hard in rehearsals, having some fun on set, and getting help from the directors as he prepares for his role.

Next, the team introduced Ahilya, who plays Gauri.

 They said it was difficult to find the right person for this role. Gauri is a vibrant, caring, and warm-hearted character. The video shows how much effort Ahilya put into her rehearsals and preparation.

Finally, they revealed another important character, Shalini, who plays the antagonist Renu.

 This role is very significant and impactful in the story.

Music director Devi Sri Prasad, who joined the event via video call, said that Singeetham Sreenivasa Rao is the main reason people should watch the film.

Telangana Exhibitors Put Peddi Under Pressure Again

The theatre issue involving Peddi is once again getting complicated in Telangana. After some calm was created following talks between producers, exhibitors, and distributors, the problem has come back strongly just before the film's release.

In the past few weeks, Telangana exhibitors have been asking for the percentage system to be used in single screen theatres instead of the current rental model.

 However, producers are said to be unwilling to make quick changes for films that are already being made and ready to be released.

Earlier, both sides had agreed to form a committee with members from producers, exhibitors, and distributors to find a solution.

 This step helped reduce the tension and gave hope that Peddi would not face any problems when it came out.

But before the committee could finish its work, exhibitors again spoke to the media and set new conditions.

 They made it clear that Peddi would only be shown in single screen theatres if the percentage system is used.

Exhibitors also told that they had already talked with the Telugu Film Chamber.

 They said the issue was supposed to be settled around the time of Hari Hara Veera Mallu's release, but producers have been delaying it for months.

They argue that theatres used to make good money in the past, but now collections and profits have gone down a lot.

 They say most of the country uses the percentage model, but Telangana still uses the rental system. With Peddi being one of the biggest upcoming films, this issue is once again causing serious worries for the industry.

Mixed Talk, Massive Numbers: Drishyam 3 Still Wins Big Box Office Collections

In a time when big-budget star hero movies rely a lot on big visuals, expensive ads, and huge action scenes, the success of Drishyam 3 shows again that a good story is still the most important thing in cinema.

The Drishyam series has never been about big budgets or fancy locations.

 It has always been about a strong, interesting story, real characters, and realistic filmmaking.

Even the newest movie reportedly made a lot of money before it was even released, showing how much people trust the Drishyam brand now.

What makes this even more impressive is that the Mohanlal film is still doing really well at the box office, even though some people and critics have mixed opinions about it.

The reason is clear — the strength of the Drishyam brand, Mohanlal’s amazing presence on screen, and the special kind of magic that Malayalam cinema has, where stories that are grounded in real life really connect with people.

This success sends a big message to the movie industry: a star hero film doesn’t need to be super expensive to make money.

 If the story is strong and emotional, audiences will still make it a big hit, even if opinions aren’t all the same.

Peddi’s Bhopal Event Is a Blockbuster

Mega Powerstar Ram Charan's upcoming movie, Peddi, is set to release in ten days. The film is directed by Buchi Babu Sana, and the team recently held a big promotional event in Bhopal.

During the event, composer AR Rahman performed live along with his team.

 The show was very energetic and helped create a lot of excitement around the film.

A large crowd turned up for the event, which surprised many people.

 This shows that Ram Charan has a big fan following in the North. While there were definitely fans of AR Rahman there, it's clear that Charan's fans were also there in large numbers. Rahman entertained the audience with a mix of Telugu and Hindi songs.

All the team members gave speeches that left a strong impression on the attendees.

 They shared their feelings and gave a peek into the world of the film, helping people understand more about the project.

The main highlight of the event was a powerful Hindi speech by actor Ravi Kishan.

 He is famous for his villain role in Race Gurram and for delivering strong performances in Telugu cinema. His emotional and impactful speech deeply connected with the Hindi audience, and the crowd loved it.

With this event in the North, it's certain that Peddi will have a great opening there.

 More promotional activities are planned in the coming days. The film will hit the theatres on June 4th.

Jana Nayagan Missing the Golden Buzz Big Time

There was a lot of buzz about Jana Nayagan when news began to spread that Vijay would become Chief Minister before the movie came out. The political energy around him made people really excited about the film, and many in the industry thought it might come out in May as Vijay took charge.

Fans hoped the movie would make use of Vijay's high political popularity and have a big opening at the box office.

 But now things are more unclear. The film is still waiting for its censor certificate, which has pushed back the release plans.

Without an official announcement from the team, the excitement around the movie is starting to fade.

 What seemed like a perfect mix of politics and cinema is now facing delays that might make people lose interest.

Another big thing is the shifting political climate in Tamil Nadu.

The strong discussions about Vijay entering politics have slowly gone down over the past few weeks.

 As the political attention settles, the huge interest in Jana Nayagan that was there at first is also starting to drop.

Recent reports say the team is now aiming for a release during Vijay's birthday week in the third week of June.

 While that date is still meaningful for fans, the main question is whether the current excitement can keep going until then and still make the same big impact the film was expected to have.

Peddi Betting Big On AR Rahman’s 4 Cr Bhopal Blast

Peddi is putting a lot of effort into the big Bhopal event after the trailer got mixed reviews from fans and viewers. The team is now counting on the big AR Rahman live concert to make a big impact, where a special song from the movie will be introduced in front of a huge crowd.

The event itself is so large that it's surprising many people in the industry.

 Two special chartered flights are being arranged from Hyderabad to Bhopal to bring Rahman's team, the film's cast, and crew. Around 200 hotel rooms have been booked in Bhopal for the whole crew.

What's getting the most attention is the technical setup for the event.

 Big LED screens are being brought specially from Indore, and the lighting setup is coming from Hyderabad. The music equipment for the concert is being transported from Mumbai.

Sources say the total budget for this event alone is almost 4 crore rupees.

 Interesting fact is that Rahman's sound equipment is worth about 150 crore rupees, and the rental for using it for just one day is said to be close to 1 crore rupees.

The team is expecting almost 100,000 people to attend the event and is treating it like a big festival celebration.

 With so much money and effort going into the concert, the team is really hoping the special song and Rahman's live performance will bring back strong buzz for Peddi before its release.

This emotional village drama, directed by Buchi Babu Sana, is set to hit the big screens on June 4 with grand premieres planned around the world on June 3.

 With the Bhopal event turning into a huge promotional show, the team is hoping for a strong boost in buzz in the days to come.
