The biggest thing that has created a buzz on screen after the grand release of ‘RRR’ is the clash between ‘KGF: Chapter 2’ vs ‘Beast’. Following the huge success of ‘KGF: Chapter 1’ released in 2018, its second episode will be released on April 14 in the same Pan India style Ugadi festival release. Yash The collaboration of multi-lingual stars like Sanjay Dutt and Raveena Tandon has raised expectations.
Meanwhile, ‘Beast’ starring Vijay, Nelson and Pooja Hegde will be released on April 13 in the Tamil New Year. Vijay’s last release ‘Master’ was a huge success at the box office and was well received in Hindi across Kerala and beyond. The anticipation for ‘Beast’ is different due to the hype that ensued.
Vijay and Yash At a time when fans of the duo are eager to see their Adarsh Nair films on the big screens, what kind of impact the direct confrontation of these two big films will have at the box office has become a concern for many in the film industry, including theater owners. There are many examples in the past, direct incidents of how box office collections will be affected when two big films collide.
On the eve of the 2019 Pongal festival, Rajinikanth’s ‘Betta’ and Ajith’s ‘Viswasam’ clashed directly with two top actors. Ajith’s’ faith became the winner. There are no very, very bad reviews for Rajinikanth’s ‘Betta’ movie. At the same time she acted as a vintage Rajini. However, the family sentiment of the faithful blunted the image of ‘Betta’ and amassed collections at the box office. The same thing happened with Ajith’s ‘Veeram’ and Vijay’s ‘Zilla’.
Most recently another example of this. Allu Arjun’s ‘Pushpa’ and Ranveer Singh’s sports drama ’83 last December. Compared to ‘Pushpa’, ’83 ‘received the lowest grosses in the Hindi-dominated states. 83 was so critically celebrated. But beyond that, the Pan-India campaign, word of mouth and the reception for ‘Pushpa’ took off somewhere and the box office collection skyrocketed.
That is why for such a conflict KGF vs Beast There is a fear of seeding. There is a growing sense that both filmmakers are underestimating this conflict. Both films have been planned for several months and this decision has been made. It is said that the conflict between the two films could not be avoided due to the corona environment. Production companies present their side of the argument as it is difficult to postpone the release because it is a holiday and a holiday.
The biggest question now is whether these arguments are compatible with reality. Out of 1200 screens in Tamil Nadu, 800 to 850 screens Beast Likely to come out. Beyond Tamil Nadu, there are fans in Kerala due to Vijay Beast Can be screened in large numbers. In both these states, KGF is likely to get theaters for ‘Beast’.
After the success of Master, they are planning to dub the film ‘Beast’ in several languages and release it simultaneously as a test effort for Vijay. But the release of ‘KGF’ may be an obstacle to this endeavor. This is because the opposite is likely to be the case in Karnataka, Telugu and northern India. Since Karnataka is the native state of Yash, in the northern Indian states KGF It also has a lot of expectations due to the success of the first part. The same expectation exists in the Telugu nation, where KGF The fact is that the Beasts are likely to get screens as they go into the film.
Theater owners and filmmakers have demanded that the two films be released separately for similar reasons and collections. “There is no doubt that the two films will bring a large number of audiences to the theaters. But, in general, big films like this do not have to clash with each other.
The release of one of the two films may have been postponed by a couple of weeks. When ‘RRR’ was released, director Rajamouli approached the producers of the films that were in conflict with his film considering the budget and the collection, and asked them to postpone the release of the respective films. He may have clashed with other films in terms of being a great film. But he negotiated with the filmmakers in the interest of all and pointed out the fair consequences.
Similarly, in the case of ‘KGF2’ vs ‘Beast’, if the release date of a film is postponed by a couple of weeks, both can be taken care of without any harm. Producers Ramesh Bala and Sridhar Pillai, both film business analysts, told the English media that the producers should consider such talks when Rajinikanth’s ‘Annatha’ and Vishal’s ‘Enemy’ were released simultaneously.
Although theater executives and film businessmen have expressed concern about the rivalry between the two films, their recent conversations reveal that the film crew sees this as a healthy rivalry.
During the release of the ‘KGF’ trailer Beast Asked about the conflict, Yash said, “This is it KGF Vs Beast Does not exist. Do this KGF அண்டு Beast That’s it. This is not an election at all. Only in an election will there be a fight to buy one’s vote. This is cinema. You can also see my picture in the cinema. Vijay You can also see Saree’s film. “He hoped that both the films would be well received by the audience.
Similarly Nelson Dileep Kumar, instead of posting a tweet praising the ‘KGF’ trailer, thanked Prasanth Neil Nelson and asked for the ‘Beast’ update and exchanged greetings expressing mutual friendship and looking healthy. Just like their healthy conversation Beast And KGF2 Let’s see if both are healthy collections at the box office.
