Coolieis clear winner in WAR 2 clash / Trouble for Ajith film Kerala release ? Prithviraj Income tax notice not for Empuran


 Coolie has nothing to lose by clashing with WAR 2 on August 15th. For one, Coolie budget does not make it very necessary for it cash in on North Indian markets like WAR 2. The overseas Tamil market and to agreat extent Telugu markets will still plump for Coolie as everybody wants to see what magic has Lokesh created for Thalaivar as he did for Kamal and Vijay. Thirdly the film WAR 2 will not create any much hoopla that a Hindi film has in South and NTR Jr is no Bunny – Prabhas who has a Pan South preence. So WAR2 with Hrithik Roshan who is not around for a long time, is the loser as NTR Jr tag will help only in two Telugu States. Here gain Coolie has Nagarjuna to take care of the Tollywood and Upendra for Sandalwood. Both have  extended cameos.


Good Bad Ugly Kerala Distribution is with Gokulam Gopalan and his house- offices across all States have been raided and so will he be able to distribute it or hand it over to some body ? GBU trailor was good as I liked the from the early 90s, and 2K decade of movies.  Simran in particular I liked as I remembered Vaali. GBU is likely to be first Tamil movie to enjoy the proposed Enterainment tax cut from 8 to 4 %. But another threat looms large, evening shows hereafter will go towards IPL matches, if regulation is passed.


If you think Prithviraj got an Income tax notice for Empuran , No, it is for three other movies that he acted but did not take any money and instead pocketed profits as co- producer. Prithviraj appeared in three movies as the lead—Gold, Jana Gana Mana, and Kaduva. He took Rs 40 crore and Tax guys wants the profir breakups. For Empuran, he said that he and Mohanlal have not taken any money and now as they are co- producer, they will get the share of profits. Tax guys will revisit that later. Now if Vaiko and O Paneerselvam’s demands are to be met , then the dialogue that Travancore King gave land for Mullaperiyar to British under thret has to be cut out. 28th cut ?
