Padayappa Re-Release: 10-Day Box Office Collections

Rajinikanth’s Padayappa performed well upon its re-release at the box office and helped the theaters in Tamil Nadu to gather some considerable footfalls. Though the film did not surpass the re-release collections of Vijay’s Ghilli, it did very well. 

Padayappa has collected around 13 Cr gross in Tamil Nadu, with 2 Cr gross in ROI, and 3 Cr overseas for 10 days at the box office. The total worldwide gross is 18 Cr, which is almost the closing numbers for the film. 

This is the 3rd biggest collection for any South Indian rereleases after Baahubali: The Epic and Ghilli. The re-release was a blockbuster, and there were expectations that it would cross Ghilli (30 Cr+), but it failed to beat those collections.

Meanwhile, Ramya Krishnan, the actress who played the iconic character of Neelambari, watched the film on the big screen and enjoyed it.

Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu Overseas Rights Sold For Record Price

The overseas rights of the film, MSG – Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, have been sold in the ₹20 crore range. For this deal, the North America breakeven is estimated at $3.5 million, while the overall overseas breakeven stands at around $4.75 million.

The combination of Chiranjeevi and Anil Ravipudi enjoys huge popularity in overseas markets, and with positive word of mouth, achieving these breakeven numbers should be easy for Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu. 

This project marks the biggest overseas business for both Chiranjeevi and Anil Ravipudi, and the film is already carrying strong buzz, with the first two songs receiving a very good response. Up next, a special song featuring Venkatesh and Chiranjeevi together is set for release, which is expected to take the hype to even higher levels.

Akhanda 2 Fights for the Million-Dollar Mark in America

Akhanda 2 was expected to start with million dollar premieres at the USA, but the film is struggling to cross it even after 10 days of run. Because of weak buzz, the film saw below par opening and failed to post the big numbers after the below-par WOM and reviews.

Overall, for 10 days, the film has collected $953K, and it still needs around $50K to reach the million-dollar mark. From Akhanda to Daaku Maharaaj, all 4 films of Balakrishna have collected more than a million dollars.

Akhanda 2 is struggling to reach million dollar mark, and if it has to get it, the film needs to take advantage of the Christmas weekend and Tuesday advantage as well. It needs to be seen whether the film can achieve its goal.

Anyways, the film ended up with a big loss overseas. Initially, overseas rights were sold for 15 Cr; later, it was revised to 9 Cr, but even for that, the buyers lost half of the invested amounts.

Drishyam 3 Hindi Release Date Announced Before Telugu and Malayalam

Drishyam 3 is the most exciting film for Indian Cinema audiences, and the Malayalam/Telugu versions will be directed by Jeethu Joseph, but the Hindi version will be directed by others based on his core idea, just like the first two parts.

The Malayalam version of Drishyam 3 has already completed shooting, while the Telugu version is expected to start next year, and the Hindi version was announced today.

Now that we are in the OTT era, if one version sees an OTT release before another’s theatrical release, it will impact other languages. This can be a concern for all, and Ajay Devgn lately announced that the Hindi version of Drishyam 3 will be released on 2nd October, while the Malayalam and Telugu versions have not been announced.

It remains to be seen when the Malayalam and Telugu versions will be released in theaters. Either the Malayalam version will likely be released first, or all versions need to be released on the same date.

Jana Nayagan Telugu Distributor Backs Out

Jana Nayagan Telugu Distributor Backs Out

Vijay’s Jana Nayagan is all set to arrive in theaters worldwide on January 9, 2026, and the film’s Telugu version, Jana Nayakudu, was also expected to arrive on the same day. But the latest news is that the Telugu distributor has backed out of the film. 

Produced by KVN Productions and directed by H. Vinoth, Jana Nayagan has done strong business in Tamil territories, thanks to Vijay’s stardom and the craze from his previous film. However, the movie is not carrying the same buzz in the Telugu states. The reason is that audiences feel it is a remake of the Telugu film Bhagavanth Kesari. Although the team insists they only took inspiration and not the full story, Telugu viewers believe it is an official remake. Adding to this, the Sankranthi season already has several big releases lined up, giving audiences plenty of options.

Initially, Sitara Entertainments was in talks with the producers to release the Jana Nayagan in Telugu on an advance basis. But after discussions with distributors, they reportedly backed out, as their own film Anaganaga Oka Raju is also releasing during Sankranthi. Distributors felt it would be an unnecessary burden.

With Naga Vamsi stepping away, finding another distributor has become difficult for Jana Nayagan. While the producers can still secure a release, no distributor is willing to take the risk of paying the quoted advance amount. It remains to be seen who will finally step in to release the film in Telugu.

Dhurandhar Loses 100 Cr Amid Ban

Dhurandhar Loses 100 Cr Amid Ban

Dhurandhar is performing exceptionally well both in India and overseas, moving towards the list of the biggest grossers in every territory it has released, but the film has lost approximately 100 Cr because of a ban in the Gulf.

In the USA, the film has already collected over ₹100 crore gross and is expected to add another ₹30 crore or more during its full run.

The Gulf countries are also among the biggest markets for Bollywood, often matching America’s box office numbers. Had Dhurandhar not faced a ban in the Gulf, trade experts believe it could have easily crossed $10 million (₹100 crore) there as well.

So far, Dhurandhar has collected more than ₹800 crore gross worldwide and is now heading towards the ₹1000 crore club. Currently, Jawan and Pushpa 2 hold the record as the highest Hindi grossers with ₹1050 crore gross. Even without a Gulf release, Dhurandhar is aiming to beat this record. With a Gulf release, it could have surpassed the benchmark by a comfortable margin.

Dhurandhar 17 Days Collections

Dhurandhar, the latest Bollywood blockbuster, has collected 530 Cr all India nett in 17 Days, and the gross is 625 Cr. If we add the overseas collection of 175 Cr gross, the total worldwide gross for the film is 800 Cr, according to reliable box office tracking portals.

But if we go by the official announcement of Dhurandhar’s producers, the movie has collected 579 Cr nett and 683 Cr gross in India for 17 days, with an overseas gross of 187 Cr, and a total worldwide gross of 870 Cr.

This is common in the industry; there will always be a difference between producers’ numbers and box office websites reporting numbers. But if we go by any number, the film’s performance is extraordinary, and it is all set to become the 1st 1000 Cr grosser of the year.

USA Bookings Remain Slow for The Raja Saab

USA Bookings Remain Slow for The Raja Saab

Advance bookings for Prabhas’ The Raja Saab in the USA opened a few days ago. Since this is Prabhas’ first full-fledged commercial film after a long gap, expectations were high for a strong response. However, ticket sales have remained slow.

Initially, bookings showed promise, but they soon dropped and have not picked up despite the release of promotional content. The recently launched second single, Sahana Sahana, also failed to boost sales.

Trade circles had expected The Raja Saab to easily cross $2 million in premiere collections, but current trends show the USA bookings at only $150K, making the $2M target look very difficult unless there is a sudden surge.

The film’s North America breakeven is $7.5M, and achieving that requires a strong premiere in the $2M range. All hopes now rest on the upcoming pre-release event in Hyderabad, planned for this weekend, along with the trailer launch, which is expected to generate big buzz and possibly turn the tide for bookings.

After Nidhhi Agerwal Incident, Samantha Encounters Fan Mob in Hyderabad

During the launch of the second single from Prabhas’ The Raja Saab in Hyderabad, actress Nidhhi Agerwal faced a frightening incident when a large crowd of fans mobbed her, trying to touch her or take photos. Just days later, a similar situation occurred with Samantha Ruth Prabhu in Hyderabad.

Reports say fans went overboard in their excitement, creating chaos. However, Samantha remained calm and composed throughout the incident.

The episode has sparked strong reactions online, with many criticizing the lack of civic sense among attendees, especially in how they behave toward women in public spaces.

Whether it is Nidhhi Agerwal or Samantha Ruth Prabhu, actors are also human beings, and fans should remember this and avoid crossing boundaries with reckless behavior that makes celebrities feel unsafe or fearful about appearing in public.

Avatar Fire and Ash Opens Below The Avatar Way of Water in First Weekend Worldwide

Avatar: The Way of Water has collected $435M at the global box office, whereas Avatar: The Fire and Ash’s 1st weekend collections are around $345M, which is 80% of the 2nd part, hinting at the underwhelming response for the 3rd part.

$345M is a huge weekend for any other film, but for the standards that the Avatar franchise has set, these numbers are just decent. Both Avatar and Avatar: The Way of Water have collected more than $2 billion in their full run, and it remains to be seen whether Avatar 3 can achieve that range.

In India, the film has collected in the range of 65 Cr net in the opening weekend, whereas Avatar: The Way of Water collected in the 130 Cr range in the opening weekend. Overall, the collections of Avatar’s third part are just 50% of the second part.
