0

The Tamil industry has given a few big movies involving big stars and directors this year. However, most of them have landed as big disappointments. Tamil legends like Mani Ratnam, Shankar, and Murugadoss, along with others, disappointed big time in 2025.

Shankar, Maniratnam, Murugadoss, and Lokesh Kanagaraj not only have a big fanbase in Tamil audiences, but they have also created a big brand in all audiences and even expanded Kollywood markets too. 

Tamil Big Directors and Actors Disappoint in 2025

Putting the box office results aside, content-wise, Shankar’s Game Changer, Mani Ratnam’s Thug Life, Murugadoss’s Sikandar, and now Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie fall short of expectations.

Everyone anticipated 2025 would be a year for Kollywood directors and expected that their legendary directors would give the best but were disappointed in a big way.

Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie might end up as an average-above average grosser at the box office, but as said above, in 2025, Tamil legends like Mani Ratnam and Shankar, along with other noted directors, delivered pathetic content.

It is widely known that Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Part 1—Sword vs. Spirit, which was released in theaters in July, ended up as the biggest disaster at the box office. Hari Hara Veera Mallu’s OTT release details are out now.

Despite being a delayed film, HHVM had some craze among fans and neutral audiences, as it was the first film for Pawan after he became the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh.

Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu – Big Disaaster at the Box Office

The film had paid premieres before the release day, which helped the film get Pawan Kalyan’s career’s biggest opening, but due to outright negative WOM and reviews. Veera Mallu ended up as the biggest disaster in his career.

The film also brought heavy losses for the producer and distributors, as it failed to get even basic numbers from the first day’s evening shows themselves.

Reportedly, Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu will be out on OTT and will be made available for streaming on Prime Video from 21st August in all languages.

Coolie Could Have Fought Censor

0

Superstar Rajinikanth’s Cooile is collecting good numbers at the box office, though it did not receive the expected positive response from audiences and critics. The film got an “A” certificate, which made it lose some audiences. The Coolie team could have fought with the censor team on this issue.

Everyone knows that Rajini enjoys a very large fan base among kids. When Coolie got censored with ‘A,’ a section of people were excited that it featured strong violence without any cuts, while another section requested the team to release another version. 

Coolie Lost Some Revenue Because Of A Certificate

A section of audiences suggested the team go with U/A, which will allow the families in theaters, but the team did not look at their request.

After watching the film, everyone was shocked that the Coolie team got an ‘A’ certification, as there is not much bloody/brutal violence or cuss words. The reason is said to be that the bad portrayal of Port has resulted in an ‘A’ certification, and the censor team has asked for some cuts, which the team has refused.

Also, there are some scenes in which people are burnt alive. So even those scenes had an effect on the censorification of this action drama. 

With this, a section of netizens say that the Coolie team could have fought with the censor by doing some minor cuts and with statutory warnings to get U/A. which could have helped the film in getting some more revenue

The team also set different expectations with the “A” certificate; everyone thought it was a high dose of full action, violence, and bad guys. But the reason for the “A” certificate was different.

0

OG, the action drama starring Pawan Kalyan and directed by Sujeeth, has gathered massive hype among audiences. The film’s unit lately revealed the first look of Priyanka Mohan as Kanmani from OG, and the actress seems to have played a deeply emotional role.

There were a few reports for a few days that “They Call Him OG” makers would release the second song, and today Priyanka Mohan’s first look as Kanmani from OG was released.

Priyanka Mohan as Kanmani in OG: An Emotional Character

Her look itself says that this is not a regular glamorous role, and it deals with innocence and emotion. Thaman also tweeted that Kanmani’s character will make the tears of viewers worth it.

So, it is confirmed that the Kanmani character of Priyanka Mohan from OG will bring the core emotion for the film, and we can also guess that her portions will arrive in the flashback episode of the film.

As said above, Pawan Kalyan’s OG carries massive buzz and is slated for release on 25 September. The second single and action teaser are said to be planned to be released soon, and the second single is said to be a melody.

Can Vishwambhara Roar?

0

Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Vishwambhara completed the entire shooting part, and the film’s director, Mallidi Vassishta, said that the post-production works are also almost completed. The film’s theatrical release date is not revealed yet, and Vishwambhara can roar at the box office if its upcoming promotional content clicks with the audiences.

Even though it is the biggest budget film in Chiranjeevi’s career, the film does not carry any big buzz due to bad VFX in the first glimpse/teaser, which has created immense negativity around the film, and even the director and team officially admitted this.

Because of such low buzz, the makers have not announced the release date yet, and they have not released any content after a teaser and a song. They want to start all the promotions after full completion of CG works. 

Vishwambhara to turn the tables with the new promotional content?

Chiranjeevi’s birthday arrives next week, i.e., 22nd August, and he needs to make some noise on that day, which will bring some excitement among fans.

The latest news is that the team is releasing a teaser on Megastar’s birthday, which will showcase the grand visuals from the film. The team is confident that with this, all the negativity around the film will be gone and a big buzz will form.

Even the trade alongside audiences wants to see whether Chiranjeevi’s Vishwambhara can roar this time, unlike the last time.

Also, if the Vishwambhara team fails to release any teaser due to the pending works, Anil Ravipudi’s Chiru film teaser may arrive on Chiranjeevi’s birthday.

Zanjeer-Adipurush-War 2

0

There has been a big gap between Telugu and Hindi films for years, and except for a few movies, Telugu star heroes have not shown much interest in Bollywood movies. Ram Charan with Zanjeer, Prabhas with Adipurush, and NTR with War 2 made direct Bollywood films but faced bitter results.

For the first time in their careers, Ram Charan with Zanjeer, Prabhas with Adipurush, and NTR with War 2 worked with Bollywood directors by believing in them, but the Bollywood directors completely failed to use their potential.

Putting the numbers aside, the Bollywood directors did not even give much scope for our actors to perform. For all these three movies, Telugu audiences are not at all happy with the output and the portrayal of the lead heroes.

Bollywood directors somehow do not understand the strengths of our actors and are not showcasing them on screen. Definitely from now on, Tollywood heroes might not even work with Bollywood directors after these experiences, as actors are also getting criticism for their performances in those films, and the movies are not working at the box office as well.
