Kannappa Box Office Collection! (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Kannappa is one of the biggest disasters that Telugu cinema has witnessed. Despite the presence of superstars like Mohanlal, Prabhas, Akshay Kumar, and Mohan Babu, among others, it failed to drive the audience to the theatres. It has earned 9047% higher than Vishnu Manchu’s last theatrical release and is yet a failure! Scroll below for a detailed box office report.

The epic devotional film is barely witnessing any footfall. As per the last update on Sacnilk, Kannappa earned only 1 lakh on day 21. It has mostly wrapped up its run in theatres. The overall net collections in India conclude at an estimated 32.93 crore net. Including taxes, the gross earnings come to 38.85 crores.

What’s Good: The core theme of the film revolving around the divinity of Lord Shiva and his greatest disciple Kannappa, action sequences, background score, the cameos hit the right note.

What’s Bad: The shoddy execution especially when it comes to the VFX, the movie fails to evoke the required emotions needed for a devotional film, Vishnu Manchu’s performance appears to be inconsistent, neither the antagonist is menacing enough nor does the romantic subplot strike a chord, the film’s pace seems to be laboriously dragged by the end.

Loo Break: You can take one during the laborious second half which tediously adds to the pace of the movie.

What Did Vishnu Manchu Say About Kannappa’s Ott Release Plans? ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Vishnu Manchu’s much-awaited mythological drama Kannappa finally hits theaters on June 27, 2025. The actor spoke about the movie’s Ott release plans ahead of its big release, and he seems in no mood to rush things. During a recent pre-release event, Vishnu conveyed to fans and media that Kannappa will not be available on streaming platforms anytime soon after its theatrical debut.

No Early Ott Release For Kannappa

Talking to the media, Vishnu made it clear that he wants audiences to enjoy Kannappa on the big screen first. According to The Times of India, he said, “I have a very large freedom, my movie will not come to Ott before 10 weeks. That is the deal I have, and by god’s grace, I don’t have a release pressure. My only intention is to showcase the best to the audience.

Vishnu Manchu’s Kannappa, starring Akshay Kumar, Mohanlal, and Prabhas in very promising cameos, has kickstarted its advance booking in India and the US, but the mythological action drama has yet not picked up pace despite only 48 hours left for the film to arrive in the theaters!

Will Vishnu Manchu Beat Dhanush?

It would be interesting to see if Vishnu Manchu’s film beat the last big Telugu arrival in the theaters – Kuberaa. Dhanush‘s film also starring Nagarjuna, had a lukewarm start at the US box office with the advance premiere sales!

Kannappa US Box Office Pre-Sales

Kannappa registered advance sales of $10,3K for 263 locations in the USA, with only 486 sold tickets. With 2 days remaining for the premiere in the USA, it seems impossible for the film to cross Kuberaa’s pre-sales in the territory!

Vishnu Manchu’s Kannappa is one of the most hyped pan-Indian movies in recent times, featuring top stars from various film industries. One of the major names associated with the project is pan-Indian superstar Prabhas, and his fans have been eagerly wondering when he will appear in the film. They finally got their answer, courtesy of Bvs Ravi at a pre-release event. He revealed that Prabhas will appear approximately 15 minutes into the second half and that his role will have about 20 minutes of screen time.

Siddhu Jonnalagadda’s much-anticipated spy comedy Jack has finally hit theatres but received a lukewarm response from audiences on its opening day. While the film continues its theatrical run, reports confirm that the makers have finalized a streaming deal with a leading Ott platform.

Directed by Bommarillu Bhaskar, Jack features Vaishnavi Chaitanya, Prakash Raj, Naresh, and Brahmaji in key roles. The film is reportedly made on an overall budget of ₹35 crore, including promotional expenses.

Will Digital Platform Give Jack a Much-Needed Boost?

According to recent reports from OTTplay, the film has officially secured Netflix as its digital streaming partner. Additionally, the platform has offered a substantial amount for the rights, putting the makers in a financially safe zone.

Kanappa Teaser 2 Review: 2 Seconds Of Prabhas Steal The Show! ( Photo Credit – YouTube; Instagram )

The second teaser of Vishnu Manchu and Mohanlal’s Kanappa has finally arrived, and it is all over the place, at least for the Hindi version. In fact, what should have been the savior – Akshay Kumar’s cameo as Lord Shiva stands totally irrelevant and unimpressive!

However, there is still hope since the teaser has one of the best moments for which fans might be waiting. The teaser heavily emphasizes visual spectacle, which raises the question of whether the film will prioritize substance over style. While visual grandeur is important, a compelling narrative is equally crucial.

Kanappa teaser provides a glimpse of a very huge starcast. It includes Vishnu Manchu, Mohan Babu, Prabhas, Mohanlal, Akshay Kumar, Sarat Kumar, Kajal Aggarwal, Arpit Ranka, Brahmanandam, Saptagiri, Mukesh Rishi, Madhubala, Aishwarya Bhaskaran, Brahmaji, Devaraj, Raghu Babu, Siva Balaji, Sampath Ram,...

Joker: Folie à Deux has suffered yet another unfortunate milestone. The sequel, which followed the $1 billion 2019 movie, had a massive $200 million budget. Unfortunately, it failed to capture much respect from critics and audiences. Rather than enjoying the breakout success of the original, it earned just $206 million. That total may have exceeded Joker 2's enormous budget, but it could not make up for the losses incurred by a high marketing budget and the cuts that theaters took from the profits. The movie became an instant box office failure.

Joker 2 also faced challenges from critics. The movie earned a 31% Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes and a 32% Popcornmeter score. These poor responses contributed to toxic word-of-mouth. Audiences complained about its unnecessary transition into becoming a jukebox musical, and as Joaquin Phoenix's leading man became a shadow of his original self.

Director Mallidi Vassishta’s critically acclaimed Telugu superhit film, ‘Bimbisara’, featuring Nandamuri Kalyan Ram in the lead, will have its world digital premiere on Ott on October 21 this year.

The film is to release on the Ott platform, ZEE5. Produced by N.T.R Arts, the critically acclaimed Telugu film features Catherine Tresa, Samyuktha Menon and Prakash Raj in pivotal roles along with Nandamuri Kalyan Ram and Warina Hussain, Vennela Kishore, Srinivas Reddy, Brahmaji, Sai Kiran, Ayyappa P. Sharma and others in secondary roles.

The film will be available on ZEE5 from October 21, 2022 in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi.

The film begins in the year 500 B.C when Bimbisara (Kalyan Ram) is the emperor of the Trigartala empire.

A vile egomaniac, his violent antics have no limits. However, his ego trip ends when his banished twin brother Devadatta ambushes him and teleports him – through a magical mirror – to the present-day world.

The unit of director Anish R Krishna’s romantic comedy entertainer, ‘Krishna Vrinda Vihari’, released the film’s theatrical trailer on Saturday. The trailer shows Krishna (Naga Shaurya) as a decent Brahmin guy who comes to the city, after landing a job in an Mnc, where he meets a beautiful girl called Vrinda (Shirley Setia).

Krishna’s efforts to woo Vrinda bear fruit with the girl accepts his love and the couple enjoy their time together.

It is then that problems arise. While Krishna’s family is an orthodox one, Vrinda is an urban girl who prefers to wear modern outfits. Other than this, there also seems to be another problem for their marriage.

Naga Shaurya comes across as a livewire and his comic timing is outstanding. While he looks traditional in the Brahmin getup, he looks super cool in formal wear.

Shirley Setia looks glamorous and the chemistry of the lead pair works well.
