Trivikram–Allu Arjun Reunion ?

0

The film industry often witnesses strange and ironic situations when it comes to big projects or star actor–director combinations. One such case is now being talked about again with Allu Arjun and Trivikram Srinivas’s huge project.

Trivikram had planned his dream project based on Lord Kumara Swamy, with Allu Arjun in the lead. The film was officially announced, but after Pushpa 2, Allu Arjun chose to work with Atlee, putting Trivikram’s project on hold. Hurt by the development, Trivikram later moved the project to NTR, and it was officially announced with him.

The original plan was to begin the film in the second half of 2026, when NTR would be free from Dragon, directed by Prashanth Neel, and Trivikram would complete his film with Venkatesh. However, delays in Dragon and its decision to be made in two parts changed everything. The makers of Dragon plan to release both parts back-to-back, similar to KGF, Baahubali, and Pushpa. If this happens, NTR will remain busy until 2027.

Meanwhile, Allu Arjun is expected to complete Atlee’s project by next summer. Because of these developments, industry circles are now buzzing that Trivikram Srinivas’s Lord Kumara Swamy project may once again return to Allu Arjun. It remains to be seen who will finally lead this ambitious film, which is considered Trivikram’s dream project.

Sometimes, films that do not perform well in theatres receive a much better response after their release on OTT platforms. Now, the makers of Ram Pothineni’s latest film Andhra King Taluka are also hoping that their movie will get the love it truly deserves after its digital release.

Starring Ram Pothineni and Bhagyashree Borse in the lead roles, the film was directed by P. Mahesh Babu, who earlier delivered a super hit with Miss Shetty Mr Polishetty. Kannada star hero Upendra plays a key role in this film.

The movie also features Rao Ramesh, Murali Sharma, Rajeev Kanakala, Tulasi, Sindhu Tolani, Rahul Ramakrishna, Satya, and VTV Ganesh in important roles. It is produced by Naveen Yerneni and Y. Ravi Shankar under the banner of Mythri Movie Makers.

However, despite decent word of mouth, it failed to register even moderate box office collections, which came as a disappointment. After not meeting expectations in theatres, it remains to be seen whether Andhra King Taluka will impress audiences upon its digital release.

The OTT streaming rights of the film have been acquired by the popular digital platform Netflix. As a Christmas special, the fan biopic will begin streaming on December 25, 2025, i.e., tonight. Viewers can enjoy the film in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi.

0

With each passing day, Dhurandhar is creating sensational business worldwide and setting new benchmarks at the box office, and in America, the film has collected $13.1 million by Monday and is expected to cross $15 million within this week.

The trend is far above everyone’s expectations, and the movie is on track to become the biggest Bollywood grosser in America, soon overtaking Pathaan, which earned $17.5 million.

Not only that, but Dhurandhar also has a strong chance of breaking the long-standing record of Baahubali 2 at the box office, which collected $20.8 million and remains the No.1 Indian film in America. With the Christmas holiday season boosting theatre numbers, both this week and next week are expected to deliver huge collections.

So far, no film has managed to challenge Baahubali 2’s record in America. Kalki 2898 AD came close with $18.6 million, but it still fell short. At the current sensational trend, Dhurandhar has the best chance to finally break the record and become the No.1 Indian film in America, creating a new benchmark.

0

Movie Name: 3 Roses Season 2
Rating: 2.75/5
Cast: Eesha Rebba, Rashi Singh, Kushitha Kallapu, Satya, Viva Harsha
Director: Kiran K Karavalla
Produced By: Mass Movie Makers
Release Date: 12th December 2025

3 Roses Season 2 is a continuation of Season 1. Eesha Rebba, who was part of the first season, continues in Season 2 as well. However, the other two female leads are changed. As Ritu (Eesha Rebba) shifts to Mumbai, she meets two new friends Meghana (Raasi Singh) and Sresti (Kushitha).

Ritu, Meghana, and Sresti start an ad agency to establish their careers. During this phase, Ritu finds a new boyfriend. Meghana, who is divorced from Satya, does not reveal this to her family. Meanwhile, Sresti is a Gen Z girl with immature views on relationships and life, and she distances herself from her family members. How the journey of these three leads unfolds is what the second season mainly deals with.

Satya’s characterization works very well, and his track is very entertaining. The tracks involving Sudarshan , Harsha , Prabhas Srinu also provide good entertainment. While the first three episodes feel slightly average, as they focus more on glamour than story and entertainment, the season picks up strongly from Episode 4, with better storytelling and entertainment value.

The finale episode adds an emotional touch to the series and also sets up an interesting lead for the next season. All three lead actresses suit their respective roles well and deliver commendable performances.

Real Story, Real Emotion: Champion Inspired by Bairanpally Village Attack

0

Champion is an upcoming film produced by Vyjayanthi Movies and Swapna Cinema, with Roshan playing the lead role, which attempts to showcase a real emotion, as it is based on a true and lesser-known real-life incident of Bairanpally.

The film is inspired by the 1948 attack on Bairanpally village. Recently, hero Roshan and the other members of Champion visited the present-day villagers of Bairanpally. The villagers expressed their happiness that their real struggle is finally being shown to a wider audience. They also shared their hope that this recognition will help in the development of their village.

What really happened in Bairanpally?

Even after India gained independence, the Hyderabad State was still under the rule of the Nizam. During this time, the Telangana Armed Struggle began against Nizam’s rule.

To protect themselves, the villagers of Bairanpally rebuilt the village watchtower (buruju), trained themselves, and bravely resisted the attacks of the Razakars.

As a cruel act of revenge, on August 17, 1948, the Nizam’s army and the Razakars attacked the village. Hundreds of villagers were lined up and shot dead. It is believed that around 116 to 118 innocent villagers lost their lives in this brutal massacre.

Champion is releasing this Friday and is expected to be one of the best films of the year, both in terms of strong content and box office performance.
