As 2023 draws to an end, we at southfilmy.blogspot.com is proud to say that Prabhas and Salaar has made it to the top 10 South films that had the biggest opening. Prabhas has this feat twice before Salaar and those films were Adipurush and Sahoo. Sadly for Kollywood, we have to still keep beating our chest with Rajinikanth 2.0 that was released on November 29 , 2018. All other films from South that had great openings in North India re from Tollywood. Though Shankar as Director and Rajinikanth as hero with 2.0 were the first South Indian film to have biggest opening in North India, Kollywood has not been able to do it again. 25 years later the list shows that S S Rajamouli as director mananged to give two films- Bahubaali 2 and RRR that had huge opening in North and Prasanth Neel with KGF 2 and now Salaar. We can look forward to Shankar repeating his record opening with Kamal’s Indian 2 and Ram Charan’s Game Changer. Dil Raju has said that September 24 2024 is date for Game Changer release. List of Top 10 openings KGF2 – 53.95 Cr nett Baahubali2 – 41 Cr nett Adipurush – 36 Cr nett Saaho – 24.4 Cr nett 2Point0 – 20.25 Cr nett RRR – 20.07 Cr nett Salaar – 15.7 Cr nett It is now clear that Dunki of SRK and Prabhas Salaar are no match for Atlee directed Jawan in terms of box office. So Jawan with our own Lady Superstar Nayanthara and music by Anirudh is biggest 2023 grosser in Indian cinema history and biggest hit in SRK career. So we at southfilmy can proudly say that it was Chennai lad Atlee and Anirudh with Kollywood Lady Superstar were part of Indian BO history.

Is Mohanlal a Sangh Parivar guy ? Salaar to pull out of PVR cinemas

Will Mohanlal attend the consecration ceremony of Ram Lalla on January 24 in Ayodhya ?. This is the most raging topic after media reported that the actor and Mata Amritanandamayi were invitees to the Ram temple innaguration. Rajinikanth, Dhanush and Chiranjeevi names figure from the South film celebs on invitee list. In none of these States there is no resistance to these actors attending the event. But in Kerala, this is a big topic. Those in the view that Lal should not attend points out that he is a Star with a fan following that has people from all religions and if he attends it, it would alienate minorities and also show that he is a Sanghi ( pet name for RSS worker). Others say that as an individual, he can attend any function and by just attending this function does not make him a Sangh Parivar member. Even if he declines due to personal reasons, it cannot be seen as disapproval of Sangh Parivar is another point. Rajinikanth post Jailer went on a spiritual journey across North India including UP. Here he touched the feet of CM Yogi Adithynath and got photographed with a BJP MLA with a criminal background. Though there were criticisms, nothing much happened. The surprise package is that Dhanush has found a place in the invitee list. Mohanla Neru released today and facing Dunki and Salaar for eyeballs is now overshadowed by Ram Janamabhoomi controversy.

Salaar Hindi version has got less screens than Dunki in North India and especially in PVR Chains of theatres. This is seen as method to boost Dunki and pull down Salaar in North. In retaliation, Salaar makers have threatened to not screen in any PVT theatres in South. Yet there is another reason and that is PVR CEO has sung a song in Dunki and so the favoritism. Now PVR has agreed to renegotiate screens as it realizes that Salaar advance bookings are record breakers in the South. Ironically, Tollywood is quiet as it feels that Salaar frequent cancellation of release dates affected business of many medium films.

Dunki is full of violence like Animal - British Censors - Superstardom a waste - Parvathy Thiruvothu

Dunki of SRK- Hirani combo is not a soft romantic film sprinkled with comedy and that feel so good moment. According to British Film Censor Certification Board the certificate says – it has solid violence, sexual threats (women abusing scenes), horror, suicide, adult comedy, and drugs. This is a shocker to all of us who saw the promotional content. The Indian censor has granted it U/A certificate and the Dunki makers were happy as Salaar releasing on same day got A certificate. Few days back British Censor gave Salaar A certificate and the reasons given were almost similar to What Animal got the adult certificate. Now that Dunki is nothing short of Salaar in terms of bloodshed and violence towards woman, the question is how will the family audiences react to Dunki after being brainwashed through promo songs and teaser that projected it as family entertainer ?. Salaar is first film in career of Prabhas that got an adult certificate. Salaar team is not worried as Animal got a thumping box office success. Dunki is released in Tamil Nadu by Gokulam Movies and distributed by Sakthi Vel of Sakthi Works Speaking about Censors, the CEO of Indian censor Board has been sacked. Man behind it is Vishal who complained of paying bribe to get a censor certificate for the Hindi version of Mark Antony.

Parvathy Thiruvothu whose Thangalaan starring Vikram is readying for release has kicked up a controversy. In an interview to a Malayalam FM channel, when asked about Superstardom , she said that she does not understand what it means. “ is it the influence or is it something that a fan gone mad on hero worship has given ?. Superstardom does not give anything. Who has benefited from it ? It is a sheer waste of time ,” . She was asked to name whom she felt was Super actors and she named Fahad Fazil- Rima Kalingal as super actors. In Malayalam, Mohanlal and Manju Warrier are called Superstars and in Tamil it is Rajinikanth and Nayanthara. Rajinikanth had given a veiled definition of Superstardom in reply to Thalapathy fans saying their idol was Superstar. In fact, Mohanlal is also known as Complete Actor.

Warning added to Leo Song - SRK Jawan audio in Chennai and Prabhas film hit by Prithviraj injury

As expected , Thalapathy Vijay’s Leo has run into trouble . The first single Naa ready video has attracted a case under the Narcotics Control Act for the lyrics that glorify substance use and visuals of hero and friends smoking and drinking beer. Yesterday, makers decided to add a tobacco warning message to the song . Sometime back a song from Kamal Haasan film Vikram , which too was directed by Lokesh, ran into trouble for lyrics that ridiculed the Central Government. The film came out in theatres with the lines deleted. Rajeswari Priya who quit PMK and floated a new political party was the first to fire the salvo against the Leo song. Now Naam Tamilar has joined the issue. PMK which had a running feud with Rajinikanth over smoking scenes in Baba , had objected to a poster of Vijay film Sarkar. Vijay then apologized and said that he would not smoke in any future films. What has added fuel to fire is that the song is sung by Vijay himself. Detractors point that by lending his voice, he is reaching out to youth with a wrong message. Priya asks whether the actor would have played this song at the function where he gave away awards to rank holders of 10 th Standard. Dravidian parties and PMK have not reacted to the song. The opening lines also is seen as a call to his fans to join him in his fight and that he is to go it alone. Journalist Umapathy in an interview said that Vijay call to students to read biography of Periyar , Ambedkar , Kamaraj and omitting Annadurai has shown that he is away from Dravidian and BJP politics. “If he has asked students to read books on Veer Savarkar , he would have been hailed “ said Umapathy. Many insiders pointed out that Vijay asking students to read Periyar life history among others was like a red flag to BJP. Hindu Munnani activists in Tamil Nadu were said to be damaging Periyar statues and pouring yellow paint on it. Leo would face censor troubles is the buzz and also that reports of the producer having minted Rs 350 crores profit from pre release biz would have the tax men at his doors .

Jawan audio launch would take place in Chennai on July 7th said a source. The film has Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi and few other actors apart from Director Atlee belong to Chennai.

SRK shot for a month in Chennai for Jawan and attended the birthday bash of Atlee and called on Nayanthara’s house to see her twins. He had acted in Chennai Express and his film Dil Se was dubbed into Tamil .

Prithiviraj accident and a key hole surgery has got Director Prasanth Neel and Salaar makers worried as in this Prabhas film with Sruthi Haasan has lot of footage to be shot with Prithviraj. The actor’s tweet indicated that he would be needing physiotherapy treatment. Prithviraj had dubbed in Malayalam for Prabhas in Radhe Shyam.
