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.

Kannappa Domestic Box Office Collection

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 is Kannappa’s budget?

As one can imagine, bringing together such a stellar cast was an expensive affair. Including production, VFX, and other factors, Kannappa is...

Image
Kannappa Ending Explained (Photo Credit – Instagram)

The Vishnu Manchu starrer Telugu devotional flick, Kannappa was released today (June 27). The movie brings forth the story of the biggest devotee of Lord Shiva who was formerly an atheist. The movie has also been garnering a lot of eyeballs for having exciting cameos from stalwarts like Akshay Kumar, Mohanlal and Prabhas. Well, let us look at how the film concludes, although we would recommend that you only scroll below if you are okay with some major spoilers.

How Does The Vishnu Manchu Starrer Kannappa Conclude?

The second half majorly focuses on the Chenchu tribal prince Thinnadu (Vishnu Manchu) avenging the death of his father Nathanathudu (R Sarathkumar) by killing the marauder tribal chief Kala Mukha (Arpit Ranka). However, even after the neighboring village heads ask him to be appointed as their tribal chief, he turns down the offer to keep his father’s promise,...

Kannappa Movie Review: Vishnu Manchu Starrer Falls Prey To Preachiness And Melodrama! ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

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.

Kannappa: Is Vishnu Manchu’s Mythological Film Based On A True Story?

Is Vishnu Manchu’s Kannappa Inspired By A Real Story? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Vishnu Manchu’s latest film, Kannappa, has finally hit the silver screens. In a combination of incredible imagery, irresistible cameos, and unforgiving storytelling, the trailer has sparked incredible anticipation for the movie. The film stars Vishnu Manchu as the titular lead and is a genre-defining mythological action drama.

It has captured everyone’s attention not only because of its impressive visual effects and engaging cast but also because of its authentic religious subtext. But as we began to get excited, one question arose—is Kannappa based on a real story, or is this just another cinematic make-believe?

The Legend Behind Kannappa

Specifically, Kannappa is not based on the real life of any historical individual, but in fact, it takes inspiration from a real story chronicled in Hindu scriptures. It tells the tale of a tribal man named Thinnan aka Thinnadu,...

Kannappa Movie Review Quicker: Vishnu Manchu Starrer Questions The Thin Line Between Devotion & Superstition But The Emotions Fail To Land!
Image
Read our first half review of Kannappa. ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

We are done with the first half of Kannappa and it tells us the riveting story of the powerful Shiva Bhakt, Thinnadu (Vishnu Manchu). As the prince of a tribal village, he dared to challenge the thin line between superstition and devotion, warning the wrath of his fellow villagers. However, this is the story of how he goes from being a heavy atheist to being one of the fiercest disciple of Lord Shiva.

The first half of Kannappa is fast-paced and wastes no time in developing the intense and valiant character of Thinnadu. He is brave, courageous, righteous, and a perfect son and a lover. However, he refuses to submit to blind superstition and human sacrifices to please the Almighty. This leads him to not only make enemies in his own village but also earn the ire of a marauder chief,...

Kannappa Box Office Premiere Pre-Sales (USA): Only 5.3% Of Kuberaa’s Total, Will Vishnu Manchu Beat Dhanush?

Kannappa Box Office Premiere Pre-Sales (USA): Will Vishnu Manchu Beat Dhanush? ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

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!

I hope my son Vishnu continues to receive the love of the audience and the blessings of Lord Shiva. Every character in this movie is like a hero.

Kannappa Hindi Trailer Review: Can We Stop This Baahubalification Of Prabhas & Mahadevification Of Akshay Kumar Urgently?
Image
Kannappa Hindi Trailer Review Ft. Baahubalified Prabhas & Mahadevified Akshay Kumar!(Photo Credit –YouTube)

After Baahubali witnessed a success like never before, two things happened. A – Baahubalification of Prabhas, making him look larger than life and almost heavenly in every frame; B. Baahubalified Films – films that rely heavily on VFX, and most of them are inspired brutally by Baahubali! Kannappa is another grand offering starring a barrage of stars, and the trailer has left me in chaos!

First of all, I am also done with the Mahadevification of Akshay Kumar! After Omg 2, I am done witnessing him as Mahadev! The trailer made me remember some school skits that students perform brilliantly, but at the end of the day, it is a school skit!

Oh My God – Again?

Kannappa trailer might intrigue audiences looking at Akshay Kumar as Mahadev, with Trishul and Damru, and Kajal Agarwal playing Devi Parvati. But their scenes...

Kanappa Teaser 2 Review: Skip The Entire Akshay Kumar – Mohanlal – Vishnu Manchu Part & Focus On 2 Seconds Of Prabhas!

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,...

Seeking 'something substantial' after 'Bholaa', Arpit Ranka to play an antihero in 'Tavvai'
Image
Mumbai, July 20 (Ians) Actor Arpit Ranka, who was last seen in Ajay Devgn’s ‘Bholaa’, will be next seen as an antihero in ‘Tavvai’, a mythological tale of misfortune.

The film also stars veteran actor Manoj Joshi and has been shot in various parts of Madhya Pradesh including Ujjain and Mahakaleshwar Temple.

The movie explores the mythological story of Alakshmi and Lakshmi. It also throws light on the importance of the sacred Peepal tree.

Speaking more about the film and his character, Arpit said: “After Bholaa, I was looking for something substantial which would challenge me as an actor and allow me to showcase my acting ability as well.”

Arpit, who is best known for portraying Duryodhana in Mahabharat and Kans in RadhaKrishn, says he is a believer of Lord Shiva.

“I am a huge believer of Mahakal and before Bholaa I visited Mahakal temple so I felt a strong connect there this time.

Ajay Devgn’s Bholaa Movie Review | An Action Hero
Image
Bholaa is an action thriller produced and directed by Ajay Devgn, an adaptation of the 2019 Tamil film ‘Kaithi’. The film is especially made for the audience who crave for hard core actioners. It is also apparent that the writers were more focused on creating action sequences though it had a great plot at hand too! I take this liberty to state that the hero of the film is the action designers for their imaginative choreography.

Plot

Ips Diana Joseph (Tabu) has busted a huge drug consignment and is expecting the worst from the drug lords, who have sprung into action and want the drugs and the officer. As the turn of events had to be, most of the top police officers are spiked during a top officer’s retirement get together. Diana doesn’t drink hence saved.

Arpit Ranka: I am a father before being an actor
Image
Mumbai, March 22 (Ians) Actor Arpit Ranka, who is part of the show Brahmarakshas 2, has a five-year-old son. He makes sure to balance his career and family life.

The actor says that he makes sure to talk to his son all through the day, even when he is busy is shooting.

"Like every father and son, I share a very special bond with my son, Arnidh. He is in the habit of talking to me continuously and, hence, when I am shooting, I make sure to speak to him every two hours. He doesn't usually sleep in the night until he speaks to me, hence when we shoot overtime or night shifts, I ensure that I get to wish him goodnight before he sleeps," he says.

He adds that this gets tough when he is shooting outside Mumbai. "While I always spend quality time with him when I am shooting in Mumbai,...
