Kerala Box Office : Sachin The Billion Dreams Final Collection Report

Kerala Box Office : Sachin The Billion Dreams Final Collection Report

Cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar’s biopic, Sachin: A Billion Dreams was released on May 26 amid great expectations. It was released in 2400 screens in India and 400 screens overseas. The film, directed by James Erskine
opened to largely positive reports from the critics.

However, the movie had a very low profile release in Kerala. It film had a limited release finding screens mostly in multiplexes. According to reports from trade sources, Sachin: A Billion Dreams has managed to earn only Rs 1.90 crores from it’s theatrical run in the state.

The Kerala box office is highly competitive now with Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, Godha and Adventures Of Omanakuttan, all doing good business. Sadly, Sachin’s biopic has ended it’s theatrical run failing to create any sort of impact in the box office

However, in the North Indian states and some overseas centres, the movie has done good business. It is inching closer to the 50 crore mark. The film has already surpassed the lifetime collections of Naam Shabana, which stood at the 8th position with a collection of 36.50 crores. Sachin’s biopic is now become the 8th highest grosser of the year.

Sachin: A Billion Dreams is a docu-drama, a first of it’s kind attempt in Indian cinema. Despite that, the movie has managed to do such great business only because of the massive fan base that Sachin Tendulkar enjoys.

The film, directed by James Erskine showcases Sachin Tendulkar’s journey from his childhood to become the world’s best cricketer. Apart from his cricket and personal life, it also reveals certain unknown aspects of his life.

The film has real footage from Sachin’s personal life to the years he spent on the field. Sachin Tendulkar, his wife Anjali, kids Sara and Arjun feature in the film. Popular Indian players like Virat Kohli, M S Dhoni and Virender Sehwag are also seen sharing their experiences with the legend.

Oscar Award winner AR Rahman has composed the music. The film was shot simultaneously in Hindi, Marathi and English. It was dubbed and released in Tamil and Telugu languages.

Sachin: A Billion Dreams is produced by Ravi Bhagchandka and Carnival Motion Pictures under the banner of 200 NotOut Productions.

Will Honey Bee 2’s poor performance affect Honey Bee 2.5? Here’s what Lal had to say!

Will Honey Bee 2’s poor performance affect Honey Bee 2.5? Here’s what Lal had to say!

Honey Bee 2.5 is a new attempt in Malayalam cinema. The movie’s plot happens in the location of another movie- Honey Bee 2: Celebrations. Asif Ali’s younger brother Askar Ali is making his entry to cinema through Honeybee 2.5. Maheshinte Prathikaram fame Lijomol Jose is playing the female lead.

Actor/filmmaker Lal has scripted and produced this movie. Lal is very confident about the movie and has assured that it will be a new experience for the Malayali audience. However, he admit that Honey Bee 2’s poor performance has affected the release of Honey Bee 2.5.

Apparently, Lal had planned to release the movie much earlier but the failure of Honey Bee 2 pulled him back a bit. They are now planning to promote the venture widely before releasing it.

Honey Bee 2.5, directed by debutant Shyju Anthikad, happens in the sets of Honey Bee 2. It is about an aspiring actor who lands up in the sets of Honey Bee. Artists performing in the latter will be seen in the background of this movie.

Asif Ali, Bhavana, Sreenath Bhasi, Balu Varghese, Baburaj, Sreenivasan, Lena and many others who were part of Honey Bee 2 will be seen in Honey Bee 2.5 also. These actors had to perform without any rehearsals and retakes. Live sync sound is also used in the Askar Ali starrer. Both the movies were filmed simultaneously.

Honey Bee 2.5 will be a very realistic take on the events happening in a cinema set. It is an one of a kind attempt in Mollywood. The makers are planning to release the movie by the end of July.

I like Pranav Mohanlal’s innocence: Mammootty

Pranav Mohanlal is all set to make his debut in a lead role this year with Jeethu Joseph’s upcoming movie. But even before making his entry to the industry, Pranav has many admirers. His simplicity, despite being the son of such a big superstar, has made him hugely popular among the youngsters. Pranav, unlike the other celebrity kids, is shy of the limelight and likes to be in his own space.

Mammootty is one such admirer of Pranav. In a recent interview, the megastar opened up about the acting plans of Pranav and more. He said, “Pranav is just like my son Dulquer. He has a very peculiar character and is very different from the other kids of his age. I like his innocence very much. He should have entered the film industry much earlier but it could not happen due to many other reasons. Pranav will surely be able to mark his place in the industry.”

Pranav is right now prepping up to make his debut as a lead actor. The 26-year-old is venturing into acting after assisting Jeethu Joseph in two films. The director had earlier informed that his film with Pranav will be an action thriller on the lines of his superhit movie Memories. The superstar’s son trained in Parkour for playing his part in the film. Parkour is a form of acrobatic physical training that involves crossing obstacles by running, climbing, jumping, rolling and swinging.

There are reports that the movie will be shot outside Kerala on a budget of Rs 10 crores. An official statement regarding when the movie will go on floors is still awaited. Mohanlal’s own production house Aashirvad Cinemas is producing this yet to be titled movie.

Odiyan will be bigger than Pulimurugan

Odiyan will be bigger than Pulimurugan

Mohanlal’s Pulimurugan has set the benchmark of Malayalam movies very high. It had superior quality in terms of technical values and it reaped huge profit in the box office. The movie’s gargantuan success has showed the way for other filmmakers to conceive movies on a bigger scale.

Mohanlal, himself is coming up with two such massive projects; Odiyan and the magnum opus Randamoozham aka The Mahabharata. Odiyan will be the first to go on floors. This highly anticipated movie will mark the directorial debut of noted ad filmmaker VA Shrikumar Menon. He is also directing the upcoming movie Randamoozham aka The Mahabharata, which is being planned as the most expensive Indian film ever. So, Odiyan will be kind of testing waters for Shrikumar Menon.

Odiyan, written by National award winner Harikrishnan is a fantasy drama. It is a thriller that will have a mix of action, romance and magical realism. Odiyan is named after a man who is mastered in odividya. The movie is primarily about Odividya, a black magic trick used to tackle the enemies. It is a genre that is rarely seen in Malayalam cinema, majorly due to the budget constraints. So it will certainly be a new experience for the Malayali audience.

Odiyan has some big names in the cast as well as the technical team. Manju Warrier has been roped in to play the female lead in while veteran actor Prakash Raj will be seen in a powerful antagonist’s role. The makers have roped in Peter Hein to choreograph the stunts.

Peter Hein last year worked with Mohanlal in Pulimurugan. The spectacular stunts in the movie were much raved about and he deservingly won the National award for best stunt choreography. Peter Hein has assured that the stunts in Odiyan will be a notch higher than Pulimurugan.

Sabu Cyril, the man behind huge projects like Baahubali, Enthiran and Ra One, is in charge of the production design. National award winner Sreekar Prasad will be editing this movie. Pulimurugan DOP Shaji Kumar will be cranking the camera and M Jayachandran will be handling the music department. Mohanlal’s own production house Aashirvad Cinemas is funding this movie, which is touted to be one of the most expensive movies ever made in Malayalam cinema.
