Many expected Bollywood’s fortunes to change after the massive success of Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Pathaan’. Since this spy thriller minted 1000 crores worldwide, trade pundits expected other Hindi films to perform well and bring back the last glory. But all the huge failures in recent times prove that the North audience are still not getting impressed by Hindi films.
Movies like Karthik Aryan’s ‘Shehzada’, Ajay Devgn’s ‘Bholaa’, Akshay Kumar’s ‘Selfiee’, ‘Bheed’, ‘Gumraah’ and others turned out to be huge commercial failures. Ranbir Kapoor’s ‘Tu Jhooti Main Makkar’ is the only film other than ‘Pathaan’ to have a decent run in theatres in 2023. The film industry is curious to know what the audience really want and which is the most awaited film in 2023.
Popular surveying company Ormax Cinematix has researched and released a list of the Most Awaited Hindi films list. Shockingly, the first place is grabbed by Allu Arjun’s upcoming flick ‘Pushpa 2’. A lot of big films are getting released this year including Akshay’s ‘Hera Pheri 4’, Ajay Devgn’s ‘Maidan’, Salman Khan’s ‘Tiger 4’, SRK’s ‘Jawaan’, Ranbir’s ‘Animal’ and many more. But it is the Telugu film ‘Pushpa 2’ which topped the list. This first part of this massy action drama get a huge reception in North India and the recently released glimpse and poster showcasing Allu Arjun dressed as a goddess whilst holding a gun has surely generated huge expectations.
However, ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’ is getting released in 2024 and the North audience are still eagerly waiting for this flick. We need to wait and see if Sukumar & Co satisfies them or not.
Rashmika Mandanna is the heroine in this flick while Mythri Movie Makers and Sukumar Writings are bankrolling this project. Devi Sri Prasad is the music composer. Fahadh Fasil will be seen as the antagonist while Dhanunjay, Rao Ramesh, Suneel, Anasuya Bharadwaj and others play key roles. Miroslaw Kuba Brozek is the cinematographer while Karthika Srinivas is the editor.
