Vishwanath And Sons Holds Decent Amid Irumudi Wave!

The Irumudi storm has completely taken over the Telugu box office, with Ravi Teja's movie turning the weekend into a big celebration for people who track movie business.Even though the big success was expected, the huge numbers collected have surprised even those who watch the industry closely.However, Suriya's Vishwanath And Sons is still doing well.

Even with the Irumudi wave, Vishwanath And Sons is making good progress in A class theaters, especially in Hyderabad.

The strong early bookings and continued interest from audiences are good signs, especially since there's a lot of competition from Irumudi.This shows that the film is connecting well with its target audience.

The movie is also doing okay in Tamil Nadu, but still needs to collect more to be safe.

The good news is that there are no major films coming out until Toxic releases on August 26.This gives Vishwanath And Sons time to improve numbers and slowly reduce its losses in Tamil.

In the Telugu states, the film has already become profitable and is considered a Super Hit.

Producer Naga Vamsi's decision to keep enough theaters for the second week is helping the film stay visible.The movie has reached the ground level, giving it a strong base even during the Irumudi wave.

The real test will start on Monday, especially with Toxic coming on August 26.

Irumudi is expected to stay strong in its second week, which could put pressure on Vishwanath And Sons.However, since the Telugu version is already safe and the Tamil version has time to improve, the film still has a chance to finish stronger.

Can Yash’s Toxic Really Make 2000 Crore at Box Office?

Yash's 'Toxic' is gaining more attention with each promotional update.

Dil Raju, the producer and distributor handling the Telugu version of the film, made some big claims during the movie's pre-release event in Hyderabad.He expressed confidence in the film's performance and predicted that it would do well, similar to how 'Animal' started.

The main topic of discussion is Raju's target of 2000 crore for 'Toxic'.

He mentioned that music composer Vishal Chandrasekhar has predicted the film could earn over 2000 crore.Raju is hopeful that Vishal's prediction will come true.

However, setting such a high target creates a lot of expectations and pressure on the film to perform from the very beginning.

To reach 2000 crore, the film needs a strong opening day and a big start in all major markets.

'Toxic' has the scale, Yash's popularity, and great visuals, but the content itself will be a big deciding factor.

It's also important to note that 'Toxic' reportedly contains a lot of adult and mature content.

This might make it harder for families to take their kids to the theatres in large numbers.

So, the film will need positive feedback from adult audiences.

If the content resonates well with its target audience, the mature theme might not be a big issue.

With each big statement, the expectations for 'Toxic' are growing.

Now, the real test is whether the film can turn these massive expectations into massive box office numbers.

Yash Didn’t Repeat Rishab’s Mistake

One of the main highlights of the Toxic pre-release event in Hyderabad was Rockstar Yash's Telugu speech.During his speech, Yash spoke entirely in Telugu, which made a big impression on the Telugu audience.He used warm, caring, and respectful language while addressing the large crowd.He clearly understood the importance of the Telugu market and made a genuine effort to connect with the people there.

This was different from what happened with Rishab Shetty during the Kantara Chapter 1 promotions.

Rishab mostly spoke in Kannada at a Telugu event, which led to some criticism and negative reactions from a part of the Telugu audience.Yash made sure this didn't happen.His Telugu speech, interaction with the crowd, and overall approach won the hearts of everyone present.

The presence of a large number of Malla Reddy University students added a lot of energy to the event.

The crowd's positive response made the Hyderabad event very lively throughout.

However, there was an unfortunate incident when a big sound box setup collapsed.

Yash immediately stopped his speech and asked the event organizers to check if everyone was safe.

It's not an exaggeration to say that the Telugu event had a bigger impact than the Kannada one.

The response from the students and fans, along with Yash's speech, created a strong positive buzz for Toxic.

For a film targeting a wide pan-India audience, building a connection with the Telugu audience is very important.

Yash clearly understood this and handled the Telugu event smartly.

Overall, the Toxic pre-release event in Hyderabad went smoothly, despite a minor incident where two students got injured when a large sound box collapsed.

One of the students, a girl, fell unconscious.The students were taken to the hospital.More details are still being awaited.

Irumudi First Reports: – Empowering & Engaging

First of all, I want to commend Raviteja and Shiva Nirvana for picking a topic that matters to society and presenting it truthfully without losing focus.If you're a parent of a daughter, this movie will make you think and possibly change how you raise your child.

In the first part of the movie, Shiva Nirvana did a great job of building suspense.

The relationship between the father and son, Sai Kumar's conversations about girls and parenting, and the subtle tension and excitement were all well handled, along with a strong opening act.

Shiva Nirvana also did a good job with the emotional moments and the surprise in the second half.

However, the part that came after the big reveal could have been better.Still, the director made sure to end the film with a powerful emotional climax.There was also an action scene set to the song 'Mallepoola Pallaki' that left the audience in awe, with loud cheers from the theater.

Overall, Irumudi is a powerful, thought-provoking, and entertaining movie.

Raviteja is sure to gain a lot of respect for taking on such an important and socially relevant project.
