\r\nDhanush\'s socio-political drama Kuberaa, featuring Nagarjuna Akkineni and Rashmika Mandanna, is expected to premiere on Amazon Prime Video after its theatrical run. According to reports, the movie might arrive on the platform on July 18, four weeks after its theatrical debut. However, an official announcement from Amazon Prime Video is still awaited. The film has been performing well at the box office, grossing over â‚¹100 crore, with a strong showing in Telugu states and the USA.\r\nKuberaa, directed by Sekhar Kammula, tells the story of Deva (Dhanush), a beggar whose life changes after meeting a former CBI officer, Deepak (Nagarjuna), a corrupt CEO, Neeraj (Jim Sarbh), and Sameera (Rashmika Mandanna), who is stuck in Mumbai. The film has been a huge success, with its producers selling the OTT rights for a fancy price to Amazon Prime Video.\r\nThe makers of Kuberaa have sold the post-theatrical rights for massive amounts, and the satellite and audio rights have also been sold for record prices. This makes Kuberaa a hugely profitable venture for its producers, Suniel Narang and Puskur Ram Mohan Rao. The film\'s success is a testament to the hard work of the cast and crew, and its digital release is eagerly awaited by fans.\r\nWhile an official confirmation is yet to be made, July 18 is being widely reported as the likely release date for Kuberaa on Amazon Prime Video. The date has become a talking point in film circles, and fans are eagerly waiting for the film to arrive on the platform.

\r\nKamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam\'s highly anticipated film Thug Life has failed to make an impact at the box office, resulting in a significant financial loss for Kamal Haasan who is also the producer for the film. Thug Life, which was initially supposed to have an 8-week OTT window, was released on Netflix earlier than expected due to its poor performance. According to reports, Netflix cut around 20 Cr from the agreed price due to terms discussed, and the makers also faced a fine of â‚¹25 lakh for violating standard OTT release norms.\r\nThe film\'s makers had initially negotiated with Netflix to maintain an 8-week theatrical window, but due to the film\'s poor performance, they had to settle for a 4-week window. This decision has resulted in a significant loss for Kamal Haasan, who had taken a risk by releasing the film on OTT earlier than expected. The film\'s poor reviews and lukewarm audience response led to its swift removal from most cinemas, making it a commercial failure.\r\nThe film\'s digital rights were valued at â‚¹130 crore before its release, but Netflix renegotiated the price to â‚¹90 crore after the film\'s poor performance. The parties eventually settled on â‚¹110 crore for the digital rights, with a reduced OTT window of 4 weeks. The fine imposed by the National Multiplex Chains for breaching the guidelines has added to the financial burden on the makers.\r\nThug Life opened to a reasonable â‚¹36 crore gross worldwide on day one, but its earnings dropped significantly over the next few days. The film\'s total earnings fell short by nearly â‚¹60 crore compared to Indian 2, a staggering miss that no one anticipated. The film\'s failure has been a significant setback for Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam, who had high hopes for the project.\r\n

\r\nMadras High Court strong take on Film Reviews. Madras High Court delivered a crucial verdict on the writ petition filed by Tamil Film Active Producers Association (TFAPA) seeking ban on film reviews for the first three days.\r\nDelivering its verdict, Justice N. Anand Venkatesh said,\" reviewing the quality of newly-released movies on mainstream media as well as social media platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and X was also a part of the fundamental right to freedom of speech and expression and therefore, producers could not expect only positive reviews.\"\r\nHe continued\" The members of the producers association should accept the reality and not attempt to foreclose reviews. The relief sought for by them in the present writ petition is unsustainable and cannot be granted by this court,&rdquo;\r\nThe judge told the petitioner&rsquo;s counsel &ldquo;we are living in an era when people give negative reviews even about judges. Just go and see how they have criticised me on the social media. We cannot stop all those things. Today anything and anybody can be reviewed. It is all beyond control.&rdquo;\r\nHe also questioned I follow a different practice. Whenever there is a negative review about a movie, I watch that particular movie because I know that it is done by some force. With social media, you can stop nobody. If you stop someone here, another person will do it from Azerbaijan. What will you do then?&rdquo;\r\nThe judge also asked, &ldquo;even if I pass an order as sought by you, how can that order be implemented? I do not believe in passing orders which cannot be implemented. You are seeking impossibility before this court. Today, the entire world is in the grip of social media. There is not a single person/organisation/country which escapes the review or comments made in social media.&rdquo;\r\nHe added &ldquo;In the social media era, awareness is the only solution through which the society can tread a balanced path. People must gauge movies after watching them and should not be swayed by what others say about those movies.&rdquo;\r\n

Dhanush, Nagarjuna, Rashmika&rsquo;s Kuberaa directed by Sekhar Kammula got rave reviews from all quarters. However, there are few missing logics and now all eyes are on who will answer these pertinent questions in Kuberaa.\r\nWhile some say the film looks like targeting BJP rule at the centre, some are saying one should watch the film as film and shouldn&rsquo;t delve deep into and dissect each and every scene.\r\nHere are a few questions\r\n1. Influential Business Man Neeraj goes all out to acquire the oil wells that was found in Bay of Bengal. He can reach the top echelons&rsquo; in the politics and can influence any government decision and everyone is ware of him.&nbsp;&nbsp;\r\nHe has all financial experts and accountants and other intellectual persons to guide him.He is not a novice on managing powers that be. However , he heeds to his dad&rsquo;s advice and ropes in CBI officer, a honest one, getting him released from jail and enters into&nbsp; crores deal. When many people are there to get the dirty job done for few bucks, why he is after a honest CBI officer and burn his own hands. Is it a cinematic liberty?\r\n2. Nagarjuna should have been well educated to become a CBI officer and he should have had huge psychological and moral strength to remain honest. He should have guts to raid Neeraj offices, even after knowing all his power and influence. He is not an innocent to know that how influential people take revenge if they are touched. However, with no justice in courts, he compromises and decides to work with Neeraj.\r\nMoney Laundering, Shell Companies are the work of the Finance Experts. However Neeraj blindly trusts Nagarjuna. What Nagarjuna did is shortlist four beggars. He could have selected only one.\r\nBut it seems the makers require Khushboo and her son for the climax. The elimination of beggars through henchmen looks over the top. Influential few always use their drivers, watchmen as benamis and donot go after beggars. Seems Sekhar Kammula is in his own world of Padmarao Nagar while there are many who create bank accounts in crores and send people to US in Ameerpet and many in Koti and Abids are experts in hawala and money laundering.\r\n3. Dhanush though is a beggar and uneducated has immense memory power and has moral values. Such person works hard but why he will be languishing as a beggar. Why he is remaining as a beggar when he hates to be a beggar in the next life. Why he goes with unknown people when they promise him money. Doesn&rsquo;t he suspect something fishy when he was made to wear lavish suits and sign on papers. To the top of it, why the money from his bank account did not get transferred.\r\n4. The person seems to have been innocent where one can enter into his flat saying code word Old Monk and the foolish person hides the money in his house.\r\n5. How did Dhanush who had no idea of banking, dump crores of cash in front of Neeraj&rsquo;s house.\r\n6. It is silly that Country&rsquo;s No1 Business Tycoon unable to handle a beggar turns a beggar.\r\n7. Why Nagarjuna who saves Khushboo unknown to him, shoots a sincere police officer Shayahi Shinde.\r\n8. Rashmika&rsquo;s role is little realistic. However, it looked artificial when she took risks believing a beggar.\r\n9. Sekhar Kammula came up with a mixed bag and for reasons unknown, everyone is heaping praises on Kuberaa. Wonder whether Sekhar Kammula thought about these logics before proceeding ahead.\r\n10. Sekhar Kammula shouldnot get carried away with Kuberaa success and praises as it is just flattery.\r\n11. When Dhanush performs final rites of a beggar lavishly spending huge amount and throwing cash across the road, where was the social media and other print and electronic media and what happened to channels.
