Vijay’s Wife Sangeetha Demands Matrimonial Home in New Divorce Plea

After his public appearance with actress Trisha Krishnan at a wedding reception in Chennai drew massive attention, Vijay’s wife Sangeetha Sornalingam has filed a fresh petition in their ongoing divorce case.

What Sangeetha’s New Petition Demands

Sangeetha has approached the Chengalpattu District Court seeking permission to remain in the couple’s matrimonial home until the divorce proceedings conclude. The petition also requests permanent alimony from the TVK Chief.

As a UK citizen, Sangeetha stated that she lacks adequate residential facilities in Chennai. She has asked the court for an interim order allowing her to stay in the current property.

Timeline of the Divorce Case

On February 24, 2026, Sangeetha Sornalingam filed for divorce from Thalapathy Vijay, alleging that her husband is involved in an affair with an actress. According to the family court petition, Vijay has been emotionally detached from his wife since 2021.

The divorce case has attracted significant public interest given Vijay’s dual role as a top actor and the leader of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK).

Dull Friday at Box Office: Mrithyunjay, 3 Other Telugu Films Fail to Get Openings

The Telugu film industry continues to struggle after a blockbuster Sankranthi 2026 season. This Friday turned disappointing as Mrithyunjay, Sampradayini Suppini Suddapoosani, and other releases failed to attract audiences to theatres.

Post-Sankranthi Slump Continues

Since Sankranthi 2026, no Telugu film has managed decent openings. Theatre owners hoped this weekend would bring relief, but the trend of poor footfalls continues. Films are releasing without buzz, and weak content is failing to pull audiences.

Sree Vishnu’s Back-to-Back Releases

Sree Vishnu, who has built a solid reputation among Telugu audiences, released two films in consecutive weeks: Vishnu Vinyasam and Mrithyunjay. While Vishnu Vinyasam performed decently at the box office during its first two days, Mrithyunjay could not replicate that success.

The film saw low advances for day two—even lower than day one—signaling weak word-of-mouth.

What This Means for Tollywood

Telugu states’ theatres are facing a tough time. Without a hit film since Sankranthi, exhibitors are struggling with low occupancy. The industry needs a strong performer soon to revive audience confidence.

Dhurandhar 2 Trailer Out: Ranveer Singh Returns for Revenge

Ranveer Singh is back with a vengeance. The makers of Dhurandhar: The Revenge have finally dropped the much-awaited trailer, sending fans into a frenzy. The sequel to the blockbuster spy-action thriller is set for theatrical release on March 19, 2026, with paid premieres on March 18 at 5 PM.

Dual Avatar and Intense Action

Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar 2 brings Ranveer Singh back as Jaskirat Singh Rangi. This time, he appears in dual avatars — Jaskirat and Hamza — promising twice the action and intensity. The trailer showcases large-scale action sequences, powerful dialogues, and a revenge-driven narrative encapsulated by the tagline “Honsla. Eendhan. Badla.”

Key Characters and Plot Hints

The sequel introduces crucial characters including SP Aslam Chaudhary and Major Iqbal, both of whom appear to play significant roles in the story’s proceedings. Their involvement hints at a complex plot with multiple layers of intrigue.

Release Details

Dhurandhar: The Revenge is mounted on a grand scale and will release worldwide on March 19, 2026. Fans eager to catch the action early can opt for paid premieres on March 18 at 5 PM. The trailer has already set social media ablaze with overwhelmingly positive responses.

Ustaad Bhagat Singh vs Dhurandhar 2: Box Office Clash on March 19

Pawan Kalyan’s Ustaad Bhagat Singh is set to face “double trouble” at the box office as the big sequel Dhurandhar 2 confirms a clash release on March 19. From paid premiere shows to opening day, the Power Star’s film will face tough competition.

No Solo Release for Ustaad Bhagat Singh

Ustaad Bhagat Singh was originally announced for March 26, but moved to March 19 after Toxic postponed to June. For a couple of days, there was buzz that Dhurandhar 2 would also postpone, giving Pawan Kalyan a solo release.

The Dhurandhar 2 team has condemned these rumors. They are releasing the trailer today, confirming no postponement. Now Ustaad Bhagat Singh must clash with Dhurandhar 2 in Telugu. As a sequel with massive existing craze, this creates a significant impact for the Power Star film.

The Premiere Strategy Shock

The second impact is about paid premieres. Ustaad Bhagat Singh is planning premieres on the 18th night at premium prices. Shockingly, the Dhurandhar 2 team is also scheduling early premieres on the 18th, with shows starting from 5 PM.

This means Dhurandhar 2 will already be playing in theaters before Ustaad Bhagat Singh shows even start. The Dhurandhar 2 team is doing this to secure a big show count and manage their long runtime.

Opening and Screen Count Impact

With Pawan Kalyan’s stardom, Ustaad Bhagat Singh will definitely get a big opening and benefit from the Ugadi holiday. But in such fierce competition, Word of Mouth (WOM) plays a crucial role.

Dhurandhar 2 will occupy many big screens, especially in Nizam, A-centers, and overseas markets. This will impact the opening of Ustaad Bhagat Singh somewhat. We have to see how these two biggies perform at the Telugu box office.

Sampradayini Suppini Suddapoosani Review: Crime Comedy Falls Flat Despite Sivaji, Laya’s Chemistry

Sampradayini Suppini Suddapoosani Review: Crime Comedy Falls Flat Despite Sivaji, Laya’s Chemistry
Movie Name Sampradayini Suppini Suddapoosani
Rating 2/5
Cast Sivaji, Laya, Rohan, Sharath Lohitashwa, Ali, Dhanraj
Director Sudhir Sriram
Produced By Sivaji Sontineni
Release Date 6th March 2026

Sampradayini Suppini Suddapoosani is the latest crime comedy from the Telugu film industry. Produced by Sivaji himself and presented by ETV WIN, the film was initially supposed to be released directly on OTT but arrived in theaters on March 6.

Story

Shriram (Sivaji) is an honest Panchayat Secretary who never involves himself in corruption or bows down to anyone, be it an MLA or Minister. His family consists of wife Uttara (Laya) and son Mithil (Rohan). He constantly gets frustrated with their chaotic behavior.

As fate would have it, Uttara and Mithil become involved in the murder case of local SI Vikram (Prince). The rest of the story follows how Shriram handles the situation and tries to save his wife and son from the murder charges.

Performances

Sivaji does his best to carry the film on his shoulders, but the weak script doesn’t give him opportunities to showcase his talent. Laya tries to make an impact but her character lacks solid moments or proper writing.

Sivaji and Laya’s chemistry remains intact — they look good as a lead pair even after so many years apart. Unfortunately, they needed a much better script to excel.

Rohan’s character doesn’t work at all and comes across as annoying rather than endearing. Dhanraj and Prince are adequate, while Ali, Kadambari Kiran, and Sharath Lohitashwa deliver okay performances.

Analysis

ETV WIN has carved a solid reputation among industry and viewers. Everyone believed that any movie backed by the platform would be good.

Director Sudhir Sriram’s Sampradayini Suppini Suddapoosani was expected to be a solid content-driven movie — a nice crime comedy with emotional touches. The execution fails to match the intent.

The opening sequence where the protagonist describes his wife and son’s chaotic behavior seems promising. Sadly, the film doesn’t progress as expected.

Except for Sivaji and Laya’s chemistry, nothing really works. Rohan, who impressed audiences in the 90s biopic, fails to repeat the magic here. His character appears irritating rather than innocent or funny.

The crime angle raises hopes for the second half, but the film continues in the same random mode. Comic moments fail to deliver, adding to the boredom.

The concept of a family getting involved with a dead body recalls Drishyam, but the comparison ends there. Sampradayini Suppini Suddapoosani is neither an emotional crime drama like Drishyam nor does it provide hilarious moments.

Positives

  • Sivaji and Laya’s on-screen chemistry
  • A couple of comedy scenes that work

Negatives

  • Lifeless characters with poor development
  • Dragged screenplay that tests patience
  • Most comedy scenes fall flat
  • Silly execution throughout

Verdict

Sampradayini Suppini Suddapoosani attempts to mix crime, emotions, and comedy but fails to engage except for a few scattered funny moments. Sivaji and Laya try to carry the film but cannot overcome the weak script, poor comedy, and ineffective narration. Watch it only for the lead pair’s chemistry.
