Sankranthi Biggies See Low Advance Bookings in USA

Sankranthi 2026 will see the release of two big films along with several medium-budget movies. Surprisingly, the USA advance bookings for the Sankranthi biggies, The Raja Saab and Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, are quite low.

The advance bookings for The Raja Saab opened a few days ago, but the collections have still not crossed $200K. The premiere advance stands at around $180K, which is undoubtedly a weak opening for a Prabhas film in the post-Baahubali era. The film now needs a strong jump in bookings.

Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu comes from a blockbuster combination featuring Anil Ravipudi, Chiranjeevi, Venkatesh, and Nayanthara. Even with such a powerful lineup, the advance bookings have not met expectations and are currently around the $40K mark.

Overall, both Sankranthi biggies have started their USA advance bookings on an underwhelming note and will need a major push in the coming days to post strong numbers.

Dhurandhar is the first movie to get an A-Certificate and reach this milestone

The latest blockbuster Dhurandhar continues its strong run at the box office and has created history by becoming the first A-rated Indian film to gross over ₹1000 crore worldwide. It is really turning out to be one of the rarest hits at the box office.

Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar’s film has surpassed Ranbir Kapoor and Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal, which is the only other A-certificate film that came close, with a worldwide gross of around ₹900 crore.

Looking at Bollywood records, the blockbuster film Dhurandhar is now the fourth Hindi film to cross the ₹1000 crore mark with only its Hindi version, after Pathaan, Jawan, and Pushpa 2.

When collections from all versions are considered, the espionage drama becomes the ninth Indian film to enter the ₹1000 crore club, joining elite blockbusters such as Dangal, Baahubali 2, Pushpa 2, RRR, KGF Chapter 2, Jawan, Pathaan, and Kalki.

The court refuses to stop the release of the film Parasakthi

Sivakarthikeyan’s upcoming film Parasakthi is facing unexpected trouble ahead of its release due to a legal dispute over its story. A few days ago, it was reported that the film was sent for a re-censor, and now this court case stands as another obstacle to its release. 

A petition seeking to stop the release of Parasakthi, which stars Sivakarthikeyan, Ravi Mohan, and Atharvaa and is directed by Sudha Kongara, was heard by the Hon’ble Justice S. M. Subramaniam.

After hearing detailed arguments from Senior Advocate Aravind Pandian, representing the producer, and R. Singaravelan, representing the director, both appearing on behalf of Vijayan Subramanian, the court refused to grant an injunction against the film’s release.

The court directed both parties to file their counter-affidavits. It also asked the Writers’ Association to submit a report on the complaint filed by the petitioner. The case has been posted for further hearing on January 2, 2026.

The legal petition was filed in the Chennai High Court by Rajendran, an assistant director. He alleged that Parasakthi was made by copying his original story and sought a ban on the Tamil film.

Shocking: Lokesh Kanagaraj Considers Coolie a Success

Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie, starring Rajinikanth, was released in August. Although the film did moderate business at the box office, it faced strong backlash due to its underwhelming content. Surprisingly, Lokesh still considers the film Coolie, a success.

In a recent media interaction, Lokesh admitted that Coolie received a lot of criticism and said he would work on correcting those issues in his next film. He stated, “Despite the criticism, people watched the film for Rajinikanth sir, and the producer told me that the film collected ₹500 crore. I thank YouTubers, meme creators, the media, and the audience for making Coolie a big success.”

This reaction has surprised many, as it appears that the director has not fully acknowledged how disappointing the film’s overall impact was. While Coolie grossed around ₹500 crore worldwide, pre-release expectations were much higher, close to ₹1,000 crore. From a trade perspective, the film is considered average rather than a success.

Upon its release, Coolie, featuring Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna, Soubin Shahir, Shruti Haasan, Sathyaraj, Rachita Ram, Upendra, and Aamir Khan, clashed with War 2 at the box office. Despite the competition, Coolie managed to record better numbers.

Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce Elections: C Kalyan’s Strong Statements Against Dil Raju

The Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce (TFCC) elections are scheduled to take place on December 28, 2025, and producer C Kalyan accused Dil Raju of making false promises and said that he will soon face failure.

These elections decide key leadership positions in the chamber, which represents producers, distributors, exhibitors, and studio owners in the Telugu film industry. The Chamber plays an important role in addressing industry issues and coordinating with both the Telangana and Andhra Pradesh governments. 

The Two Main Panels

Progressive Panel

  • Led by: D. Suresh Babu — a senior exhibitor and film producer.
  • Dil Raju, Allu Aravind, Ashok Kumar, K S Rama Rao, Ravi Shankar Yellamanchili, Priyanka Dutt, and others are key members

Mana Panel

  • Led by: Chadalavada Srinivasa Rao and C. Kalyan — veteran producer and distributor voices.
  • Prasanna Kumar, YVS Choudhury, and others are key members.

Representing the Mana Panel, C Kalyan stated that Dil Raju made false promises related to the elections and misused the Producers Guild for personal gain. He added that Raju should focus on producing films rather than engaging in other activities like distribution and contesting TFCC elections.

Also, another producer, Prasanna Kumar, alleged that the big producers are monopolizing the film industry and their lack of support for small producers and workers.

Vrusshabha: Shocking Disaster for Mohanlal

Superstar Mohanlal arrived this Christmas with his big-budget film Vrusshabha, released in Malayalam and Telugu, and the movie has turned into a shocking disaster at the box office. On its first day, the film failed to cross even ₹1 crore worldwide gross, making it one of Mohanlal’s weakest openings ever.

The film was promoted as a Pan-India spectacle, but it collapsed right from the start. Poor bookings led to a steep drop in shows and screens by Day 2, as audiences showed little interest. With no buzz and negligible ticket sales, there is hardly anything to track in terms of numbers.

What was expected to be a grand festive release has instead become an outright washout, with Vrusshabha heading toward a shocking, disastrous result from day one itself.
