The Girlfriend Turns Out to Be a Profitable Venture

Rashmika Mandanna’s The Girlfriend, the romantic drama, was released in theaters this week, and it turns out to be a profitable venture for the makers.

The film was made on a budget of around 25 Cr. Normally, this is a very risky amount for the genre, a female lead film.

But with Rashmika’s brand power, Rahul Ravindran’s directorial and Allu Aravind’s production did record deals for non-theatrical rights.

Netflix bought the OTT rights for 14 Cr, while the Hindi dubbing and satellite rights are sold for 7 Cr.

With this, even before the release, the film puts the producer in a very comfortable position, as it achieves over 80% recovery Coming to the theatrical business, the film is doing very well at the box office, and by today it will cross the 10 Cr gross mark, and it is expected to do over 25 Cr gross in its full run.

With these, Rashmika Mandanna’s The Girlfriend emerges as a very good, profitable venture for makers. If the movie does well in theaters in the coming days, the profits will be even more.

The Girlfriend and Pre Wedding Show Score Well Over the Weekend

Nowadays, if audiences are not interested in watching a movie, it does not open with appropriate numbers, which has happened with this weekend’s releases, as they opened with very low collections. But The Girlfriend and The Pre Wedding Show see impressive jumps in collections.

After a moderate day 1, Rashmika’s The Girlfriend witnessed a superb jump on Day 2, and the collections are over 50% higher than the opening day worldwide. The jump in the domestic market is almost double as well. Today is expected to be much bigger, with the film heading towards a double-digit gross weekend.

Thiruveer’s The Great Pre-Wedding Show also witnessed more than double the jump on Day 2 compared to Day 1 with the help of good word of mouth, and today, it is expected to grow even bigger.

Normally, pulling audiences for such small films is very tough, but with positive word of mouth, now, the film is heading towards commercial success.

Overall, both The Girlfriend and The Great Pre-Wedding Show showed a good increase in collections on the second day, much to the happiness of the theater owners in Telugu states.

Tamil Audiences Believe Jana Nayagan Is a Remake After First Single

Ever since its announcement, there have been constant rumors that Vijay’s Jana Nayagan is an official remake of the Telugu film Bhagavanth Kesari. However, the makers have repeatedly denied these claims.

They stated that only a few scenes were inspired by Bhagavanth Kesari, especially the one discussing “Good Touch and Bad Touch” with women. Fans and audiences believed the makers’ words since the film was also being released in Telugu.

Fans were very particular that Jana Nayagan should not be a remake, as it is Vijay’s last film as a hero.

Recently, the first single from the film, composed by Anirudh, was released. After watching the visuals in the song, many fans and viewers now strongly feel that Jana Nayagan is indeed a remake of Bhagavanth Kesari. This belief grew stronger because Mamitha Baiju’s outfit in the song looked exactly like Sreeleela’s attire in Bhagavanth Kesari.

Now, everyone is waiting to see if the makers will officially confirm the truth. If it turns out to be a remake, releasing it in Telugu might not be a good idea, as the audience there has already watched the original.

Dies Irae Movie Review: A Decent Slow-Burn Horror Thriller

Movie Name: Dies Irae
Rating: 2.75/5
Cast: Pranav Mohanlal, Sushmita Bhatt, Gibin Gopinath, Jaya Kurup, and others
Director: Rahul Sadasivan
Produced By: Chakravarthy Ramachandra and S. Sashikanth
Release Date: 7th November 2025

Dies Irae, starring Pranav Mohanlal and directed by Rahul Sadasivan, has already become a superhit in Malayalam. Now, the film arrives in Telugu, just a week after its original release. Does it live up to the hype, and what message does it aim to convey? Here’s our review.

Story:

Dies Irae follows the story of Rohan, the son of a wealthy man and a successful architect, who lives a carefree and happy life. His world turns upside down when he learns that his ex-girlfriend Kani (played by Sushmitha Bhatt) has died by suicide. After visiting her house, Rohan begins to experience strange and unsettling events in his own home. The rest of the film explores how Rohan uncovers the truth about Kani’s past and the unexpected twists that follow.

Performances:

Pranav Mohanlal is convincing as Rohan and delivers a solid performance. He handles the tense and emotional scenes with ease. Gibin Gopinath stands out in a key supporting role, while the rest of the cast performs decently.

Analysis:

Director Rahul Sadasivan adds a psychological layer to the horror genre. The film starts slowly, with the first 20–30 minutes feeling quite ordinary. However, the suspense builds once Rohan senses a mysterious presence in his house. Some of the jump scares are effective, and the interval twist adds to the intrigue.

The second half includes a few genuinely chilling moments that leave an impact. Still, the film struggles with a predictable storyline and familiar plot points. While the director tries to present the story freshly, the narrative remains routine. The backstory and a key twist in the latter half are handled well, and the climax is also alright, but the typical horror-style cliffhanger at the end feels unnecessary.

Positives:

  • Performances
  • Jump Scares/Thrilling Scenes
  • Background Music/Visuals

Negatives:

  • Predictable Scenes/Moments
  • A Few Unanswered Questions Regarding The Ghost

Dies Irae Review and Verdict:

In conclusion, Dies Irae is a decent, slow-paced horror thriller with strong technical quality and a few well-executed scares. Although it lacks surprises and moves at a relaxed pace, it may still appeal to fans of the genre.

Diwali releases Dude, K Ramp, Telusu Kada, Bison heading to OTT platforms

2025 Diwali Box Office had solid competition at the box office, as multiple films were released in theaters, such as Dude, K-Ramp, Telusu Kada, and Bison, which are all heading to OTT platforms next week.

2024 Diwali proved to be a golden one for Tollywood as Lucky Baskhar, Amaran, and KA movies did huge numbers at the box office. Compared to that, 2025 Diwali is a bit disappointing.

Only K-Ramp managed to get a success status at the box office, while Dude’s Telugu version ended as an average to above-average earner, and other movies did not do much in Telugu.

The first Diwali release, Mithra Mandali, already arrived on Prime Video within 3 weeks of theatrical release, and the film’s re-edited version is streaming on the popular platform.

Next, Siddhu’s Telusu Kada is set to stream from 13th November on Netflix in all languages, while Pradeep Ranganathan’s Dude will stream on Netflix from 14th November in all languages.

Kiran Abbavaram’s K Ramp will stream on Aha Video from 15th November. Dhruv Vikram and Mari Selvaraj’s Bison’ digital rights were also bagged by Netflix, and the film will stream next weekend.

So, next weekend, all Diwali releases, Dude, K Ramp, Telusu Kada, and Bison, will stream on OTT platforms.

Jana Nayagan avoids Tamil Nadu, flying overseas for grand audio launch

Vijay’s movie’s audio launch always happens as a grand event, and the actor gives a highly engaging speech to please his fans and audiences. The latest news is that his upcoming and probably last film as a lead hero, Jana Nayagan, is flying overseas for a grand audio launch.

It is widely known that Vijay is not only a movie star now, but he has also announced his political party and is contesting elections next year. So, there will be some political issues and pressures regarding his film’s event.

With that, the team of Jana Nayagan is skipping the audio launch event in Tamil Nadu and will move overseas, and the event will be held in Malaysia. The event date is said to be 27th December. Malaysia is a very big market for Tamil movies, much like what the US is for Telugu. 

Vijay will certainly want to address a huge crowd in a big event, as his film is now getting projected as his last film, so the fans are eagerly awaiting his words.

The entire cast and crew will attend this audio launch event in Malaysia with Anirudh’s energetic performance. The first single is being released this evening.
