\r\nWar 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and NTR, has seen a massive drop in its collections on weekdays, resulting in disastrous gross collections in its first week. Despite its big budget and hype, the film has collected only 300 Cr gross worldwide, with a break-even point of 700 Cr. The recovery is less than 50%, indicating a significant disappointment at the box office. The film\'s area-wise collections are AP/TG: 60 Cr, Rest of South States: 20 Cr, North India: 150 Cr, Overseas: 70 Cr, and Worldwide: 300 Cr.\r\nOn the other hand, Coolie has registered the 2nd biggest week for Kollywood after Leo and achieved Rajinikanth\'s career\'s biggest week. The film\'s 1st week gross box collections have entered Kollywood\'s all-time Top 6 grossers. Coolie\'s area-wise collections are Tamil Nadu: 115 Cr, AP/TG: 60 Cr, Kerala: 25 Cr, Karnataka: 35 Cr, North India: 35 Cr, Overseas: 160 Cr, and Worldwide: 430 Cr. With a break-even point of 600 Cr, the film\'s recovery stands at 71%. The Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial may still mint big numbers on the weekend, given the lack of big releases this week.\r\nWar 2 is the second instalment of the War franchise, directed by Ayan Mukerji, and boasts a big budget from Yash Raj Films. The film belongs to the YRF Spy Universe, which includes other movies like Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, War, Pathaan, and Tiger 3. Despite its big budget and hype, the film\'s poor performance at the box office is a significant disappointment.\r\nCoolie\'s box office performance is not up to the mark due to the drop on weekdays, but the film still has potential to perform well in the coming weeks. With no big releases this week, the action drama may see a boost in collections on the weekend. The film\'s success can be attributed to Rajinikanth\'s star power and the direction of Lokesh Kanagaraj.\r\n

\r\nAadhi Pinisetty praises Balakrishna in Akhanda Thaandavam. Balakrishna\'s action entertainer Akhanda Thaandavam directed by Boyapati Srinu is progressing in full swing. Expectations are high on the project as it is the sequel to the hit film Akhanda.\r\nThe film stars Samyuktha as the female lead while Aadhi Pinisetty is playing the powerful negative role. Aadhi Pinisetty speaking to scribes showered praises on Balakrishna.\r\nHe said &ldquo;Balayya garu is an energy powerhouse. What you see on screen is exactly what he is off-screen. He&rsquo;s such a hardworking, grounded human being, and I learnt so much from him.&rdquo;\r\nOn starring in Boyapati\'s direction, he said &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve always admired his dedication. The way he functions on set is inspiring. To be part of his film with Balayya leading it is a huge opportunity.&rdquo;\r\nOn doing the negative role, he said &ldquo;I think we all have villains inside us. It&rsquo;s the situation that makes you positive or negative,&rdquo;&nbsp; and added&nbsp; &ldquo;Being the person who always does good is kind of boring after a point. Villains don&rsquo;t have boundaries. You can do whatever you want, and as an actor that is far more interesting.&rdquo;\r\nHe continued &ldquo;I&rsquo;d love to do hero parts as well, but they need to have complexities - just being the good guy who saves everyone isn&rsquo;t enough anymore.&rdquo;\r\nHe shared &ldquo;For me, exploring the darker side is not about negativity, it&rsquo;s about the freedom it gives as a performer. That&rsquo;s what makes it truly exciting.\"\r\n
