'The Kerala Story' Set For A Good Start At The Box Office

Mumbai, May 4 - Director Sudipto Sen's drama film The Kerala Story has been at the center of controversy ever since the trailer was launched. The movie is claimed to have been based on true events and follows the story of a group of women from Kerala who are converted to Islam and join the extremist Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). ## There was hardly any buzz around "The Kerala Story" a couple of weeks ago but due to the controversy, everyone is now aware of it which is proving to be advantageous as far as the box office of the film is concerned. The movie has been able to fetch a decent advance booking collection and despite being not a mainstream Bollywood flick, it has better pre-sales than films like "Kuttey" and "Gumraah" which had a bigger star cast and scale.## As of 4 AM on May 5, the pre-sales collection of "The Kerala Story" was approx. 1.25 Cr with around 60K tickets sold for the first day. As far as the opening is concerned, the movie might surprise with a 6-7 crores net start which will be a very good result considering it is not a big-budget film and has less cinematic value. ## Produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah, "The Kerala Story" is along the lines of director Vivek Agnihotri's "The Kashmir Files" which turned out to be a huge blockbuster last year. TKF took the opening of around 3.50 crores, but word of mouth and controversy helped it big times as it ended up scoring over 250 crores net and over 340 crores gross at the worldwide box office. ## Stay tuned...

Shah Rukh Khan's 'Jawan' Release Date Gets Postponed

Mumbai, May 4 - Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's action entertainer Jawan with director Atlee is no longer releasing on June 2. ## The makers have been keeping mum on the release date of the movie which leads to frustration among the fans. Amid the continued silence, it has now been reported that "Jawan" won't make it to the June release due to the pending work on VFX. ## According to Pinkvilla, "Jawan" is now looking for an August 2023 release. "Jawan is no longer releasing on June 2, 2023. The team needs some more time to complete the visual effects of the film and they would rather come up with a product that competes with the best in the country than a substandard one".## It is said that the makers are discussing releasing the movie on August 11 or August 25 this year and the official confirmation regarding the same will be made soon. June 29 is also an option but reports say that is difficult to make as they need enough time in the post-production. ## August is already packed with multiple blockbusters slated to release. Ranbir Kapoor's highly-awaited "Animal" and Sunny Deol's "Gadar 2" are scheduled for August 11 release while Rajinikanth's "Jailer" is announced for August 10 release. "Jailer" even though is a Tamil movie can impact "Jawan" heavily as the latter is a Pan India flick. ## "Jawan" is produced by SRK's Red Chillies Entertainment. It stars SRK in a double role along with Nayanthara, Vijay Setupathi, Sanjay Dutt, Riddhi Dogra, and Sunil Grover, among others in prominent roles. Deepika Padukone plays a cameo in the movie. ## Stay tuned...
