Dhurandhar Telugu Version: Makers Maintain Complete Silence

Telugu audiences have been continuously requesting the makers to release the sensational blockbuster Dhurandhar in Telugu. However, the makers have not announced any update about the release date or the dubbed versions so far.

Meanwhile, Dhurandhar is performing exceptionally well in Hindi. The film has already crossed ₹700 crore gross worldwide and is heading towards the ₹1000 crore milestone.

There is a strong possibility that the makers of Dhurandhar may release the South Indian dubbed versions directly on OTT. The film’s OTT rights have been acquired by Netflix, and its streaming date is set for January 30, 2026. If the theatrical release of the dubbed versions is delayed further, audiences may prefer to wait for the OTT release instead.

The team has two good options for a theatrical release of the dubbed versions: December 25 or January 1. If these dates are not workable, a direct OTT release could be a wise decision.

Avatar: Fire and Ash 1st Day All-India Box Office Report

Avatar: Fire and Ash collected between ₹19–20 crore net in India, with a ₹24 crore gross on its opening day. This is only about 50% of the opening of Avatar: The Way of Water, which had earned ₹41 crore net and ₹48 crore gross.

Surprisingly, even Dhurandhar’s Day 15 collections were higher than Avatar: Fire and Ash’s Day 1 numbers in India. The film now needs a big jump in collections to recover from its slow start and post respectable figures.

The weak opening has shocked the industry. Many filmmakers had postponed their releases to avoid clashing with Avatar 3, but the slower start has caught everyone off guard.

Adding to the struggle, the word of mouth is not strong. Audiences are calling it the weakest film in the Avatar franchise, saying it is worth watching mainly for its visual experience rather than its story or impact.

Andhra King Taluka OTT Release: Netflix Officially Announces Streaming Date

Ram Pothineni’s Andhra King Taluka is all set to make its OTT streaming debut. After a disappointing run in theatres, the film is expected to receive a better response on digital platforms. The film was released in theaters on November 27, 2025.

Netflix has officially announced that Andhra King Taluka will start streaming from December 25. The film will be available in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.

Directed by Mahesh Babu P, the movie tells the story of a passionate fan who is willing to go to any extent to protect his hero’s honor. Upendra and Bhagyasri Borse play key roles in the film. Although the movie received positive reviews from critics and audiences, it failed to perform well at the box office.

It remains to be seen whether Andhra King Taluka will find success in the digital space. The film also features Rao Ramesh, Rahul Ramakrishna, Murali Sharma, Satyaa, and Tulasi in supporting roles. It is produced by Mythri Movie Makers, with music composed by the Vivek–Mervin duo.

Akhanda 2 Buyers Compensation: Who Took Responsibility?

Akhanda 2 Buyers Compensation: Who Took Responsibility?

Akhanda 2 faced major financial hurdles even before its release, and after hitting theaters, the film opened to below-par word of mouth and poor reviews. As a result, it failed to perform at the expected business level. Now, the question is, who will take the responsibility for the compensation for Akhanda 2 buyers?

Most buyers have managed to recover only about 50% of their investment, and with the film’s run likely ending this weekend, even a small jump in collections would push recoveries to just 60% or less.

This situation has raised serious concerns among Akhanda 2 buyers about who will compensate for the losses. The producers are already in deep financial trouble and are unable to offer any compensation. Director Boyapati Srinu and hero Balakrishna had already sacrificed part of their remuneration before the release to help clear the producers’ finances.

Despite these efforts, buyers are said to be extremely worried as they are facing huge losses, and no one is stepping forward to cover them. This episode serves as another hard lesson for buyers and distributors. When investing big money, they must carefully consider the producer’s position and the long-term prospects of upcoming films before committing.

Hindi Box Office Records: Baahubali 2 Ruled for Years, Pushpa 2 Broken Within a Year

Baahubali and Pushpa series received massive success at the box office, and especially in Hindi, both films’ second parts became huge hits. Baahubali 2 was unshakeable for a few years, but Pushpa 2’s record is getting broken within a year by Dhurandhar.

Baahubali 2, which was released in 2017, set the biggest records across all languages and all territories. Coming to Hindi all India net, the film became the 1st one to cross 500 Cr, and ended up with 510 Cr+ net and 700 Cr+ Gross in full run. 

Baahubali 2 Hindi Collections: Unmatched for Years

Later, many films, such as Pathaan, Jawan, and Stree 2, surpassed the Baahubali 2 net due to differences in taxes but failed to surpass the gross numbers.

Dhurandhar poised to surpass Pushpa 2’s Hindi box office collections

Pushpa 2 is the one that perfectly broke Baahubali 2’s Gross Record by a significant margin, as its Hindi version ended up with ₹ 735 Cr all-India net and close to ₹ 900 Cr gross. Baahubali 2 was released in 2017, and it held the record for many years until Pushpa 2’s release. But Pushpa 2’s record is getting broken within just one year by Dhurandhar, according to the current trend.

Dhurandhar has collected 460 Cr net and 550 Cr gross in 15 days, and the current trend suggests that the film will easily collect another 300 Cr net in its full run. With this, the film is all set break Pushpa 2’s net and gross to emerge as all time no 1 grosser.

Avatar: Fire and Ash Opening Day Numbers Disappoint in India

Avatar: Fire and Ash Opening Day Numbers Disappoint in India

The first part of Avatar (2009) was a smashing hit that created a massive brand for the franchise, which helped Avatar: The Way of Water, the second part, open to more than ₹40 crore net in India. Even though its reviews were not as strong as the original, the film still performed exceptionally well, collecting close to ₹500 crore gross in India.

However, the impact of Avatar 2 seems to have affected Avatar 3: Fire and Ash. The latest installment was released with weak buzz and opened to a much lower response. Its opening day collections were only about 50% of The Way of Water, and the weekend bookings have also been underwhelming.

At this pace, trade experts believe that reaching even ₹250 crore gross in India will be a very tough task for Avatar 3, and we have to wait and see how the franchise brand will help the film in the coming days.

Akhanda 2 Hits 100 Cr : Balakrishna’s 5th Consecutive Film in the Club

Despite below-par word of mouth and poor reviews, Akhanda 2 has joined the 100 Cr gross club, becoming the fifth film of Balakrishna to achieve this milestone. With this, Balakrishna has delivered back-to-back ₹100 crore films, starting from Akhanda to Akhanda 2. 

This marks the first time a senior hero’s film has crossed ₹100 crore gross despite negative reviews, highlighting Balakrishna’s growing box office strength. Truly, his goodwill with back-to-back decent content films has worked for this film. 

But, for the overall business of Akhanda Sequel, this milestone is not enough. The film’s pre-release business was very high, and most buyers have recovered only about 50% of their investment so far. A strong second weekend is crucial to improve recoveries.

Akhanda 2 was seen as a golden opportunity for Balakrishna, and not only 100 Cr gross, but the fans expected it to reach an even higher level in the pan-India market. Director Boyapati Srinu failed to deliver the expected impact this time.
