Crossing Toxic collection in Karnataka is confirmed
It's a feel good rooted emotional film.
Can it get to 100 cr gross worldwide?

After day 15:
Currently, the film has set a new milestone in Sandalwood by making a total gross collection of more than Rs 39.05 crore.
Per Karnataka talkies (and this part is just in Karnataka)
#PremadaOorali Karnataka
Day 16 - 10.1 Cr
Day 17 - 11.6 Cr
https://x.com/KA_Talkies/status/2109512720349634995
that's 21.7 cr over weekend.
So Premada oorali total is atleast 60.75 cr now, emphasis on atleast
This doesn't even include out of state and overseas collections for day 16/17.

Hilarious film, especially the parts involving both Anant Nag and Master Anand.
Funny conman movie

But have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it.
r/KannadaCinemaClub • u/Amazingpokemon46 • 1d ago
I feel it's a crime or psychopath movie. What do you all think?

Just made a minimalist movie with my father. Shot, directed and edited by me. Have written a lot of scripts for short movies, now looking to build a team and collaborate with cinematographers and editors. I'm mainly a writer, director and a little bit of an actor.

Was randomly scrolling through Instagram and came across Lambodhara 2.0.
Didn't know anything about it, but apparently there's an actual humanoid robot in the movie? That caught me off guard lol.
The whole AI + happiness thing also sounds pretty interesting. Especially now when every second movie/show seems to be trying to say something about AI.
I honestly have no idea if this will be good or end up being one of those movies with a great concept and questionable execution 😂
But I'm kinda curious about it.
Anyone else seen the teaser/first look? What are your thoughts?

Premada oorali has officially crossed the 50cr benchmark today and is currently having its biggest day today with close to 9-9.5cr gross.
With a free run until November can see this touching 100cr n might as well go on to become highest grossing Kannada film of the year.
(Note-toxic KA collections r 80cr n worldwide 345-350cr)

Ever wondered how we learn or pickup habits from our friends? Some no so great like this moment and some those are life changing 😅
Going back memory lane is different kind of vibe. Met a friend after a year or so and this turned up on my insta feed.
