The Girl Friend Day 1 Box Office Collections

0

Rashmika’s The Girlfriend was released in theaters this Friday, and it received a good response from urban audiences, whereas other audiences gave mixed reactions, and the same is getting reflected in the openings. 

The film did not carry much buzz before the release, and because of this, the early shows started with lesser occupancies, whereas major multiplexes and overseas locations saw a good jump with each passing show. The mass belts did not see any jump in collections, and the film falls flat in those areas.

Overall, The Girlfriend, starring Rashmika Mandanna, has received a decent response, and the film is estimated to collect around 3 Cr gross worldwide on opening day, with most of the revenue coming from Hyderabad City and the USA. 

The good sign is that the Day 2 noon shows are bigger than opening day, and the romantic drama is all set for a good jump on the weekend. The positive for the film is that it will be the first choice for audiences this weekend.

The trade expects it to take a much bigger jump from today’s evening shows. The film needs to maintain strong collections and has to target a double-digit gross weekend.

Pawan Kalyan’s OG Worldwide Box-office Closing Collections

Pawan Kalyan’s OG ended its box office run with a theatrical share of ₹168.5 Cr worldwide in the Telugu version, which includes GST in Andhra and Nizam regions. The film stands as the highest-grossing Telugu film of 2025 and also marks Pawan Kalyan’s biggest grosser by a mile.

The movie earned huge profits in overseas markets and decent profits in ROI markets but incurred losses in the Telugu states. It recovered around 80–90% for Telugu buyers. Overall, the film can be termed an above-average grosser at the box office.

The film benefited from record prices and premiere collections on its opening day. However, after the opening day, it couldn’t maintain the same strong momentum, though it managed to hold decently. The opening day alone contributed nearly 50% of the film’s total collections.

Either Love It or Hate It – Kumbha Poster from SSMB29 Turns Viral

0

Prithviraj Sukumaran, the antagonist in Mahesh Babu and SS Rajamouli’s SSMB 29, was introduced as Kumbha yesterday. Rajamouli described Kumbha as a sinister, ruthless, and powerful antagonist. Prithviraj said, “Kumbha is the most complex mind I have ever played.

The poster received mixed reactions. One section of the audience loved it, as Rajamouli has mostly portrayed physically strong antagonists until now, but this time he seems to be taking a different and exciting path. However, for another section of viewers, the poster did not go well, as a clip had already leaked online earlier, and some felt the poster’s quality could have been better.

Either way, love it or hate it, the poster has gone viral on the internet, and everyone is talking about it. Theories have also started circulating online about Kumbha’s characterisation, with some relating it to Kumbhakarna from the Ramayana era.

Next, Priyanka Chopra’s introduction is expected, followed by hero Mahesh Babu’s character reveal. On November 15th, the big day, all major movie updates are set to be officially released in a big event along with a glimpse video.

Bigg Boss Telugu 9 Elimination: This Contestant Out in Week 9

0

In Bigg Boss Telugu 9, for the 9th-week eviction, Bharani, Sanjana, Thanuja, Kalyan, Ramu, Sai Srinivas, and Suman Shetty were nominated. The buzz is that Thanuja secured the top spot in voting, followed by Kalyan, Suman Shetty, Sanjana, and Bharani.

Ramu and Sai Srinivas are in the bottom two, and Sai Srinivas is said to be eliminated this week. Sai Srinivas failed to make his mark in Bigg Boss, as he did not actively interact with the contestants and was not impressive in the tasks either.

There was a buzz that a double elimination might happen this weekend, but it is now said to be a single elimination only. RGV and Amala are expected to arrive as guests to promote the Shiva re-release, which is scheduled for next weekend.

Emmanuel Creates History in Bigg Boss Telugu 9

0

In the reality show Bigg Boss Telugu 9, contestants face weekly nominations for eviction, and most of them get nominated regularly. But Emmanuel, one of the strongest contenders this season, has made history by avoiding nominations for nine straight weeks.

He was nominated in the first week, but since then, he has stayed out of the danger zone. His strong bond with fellow housemates and impressive performance in tasks helped him become captain twice, keeping him safe from nominations. This kind of streak has never happened before in Bigg Boss Telugu history.

Fans are thrilled by Emmanuel’s record in Bigg Boss Telugu 9. From their point of view, staying out of nominations builds confidence and increases the chances of staying longer in the house. However, there’s another side to it; not being nominated might affect his vote bank, as viewers may shift their attention to contestants who appear in nominations more often.

To win the title, it’s important for contestants to be nominated regularly, as it helps viewers get used to voting for them. For example, Thanuja and Kalyan have been nominated almost every week, and that has worked in their favor, with fans consistently voting to save them.

Now, the big question is: Will Emmanuel get the same kind of support when he finally faces nominations? Only time will tell how his vote bank responds.

Jana Nayagan OTT Deal Sealed for a Big Price

0

Thalapathy Vijay’s Jana Nayagan completed the entire shoot long back, but the team chose 2026 Pongal for the release date, and the main reason for this is due to the OTT deal. The latest news is that the biggie has sealed the deal for a massive price.

The OTT platforms have already committed to many movies and are spending big amounts for 2025, which is making them unable to offer producers’ quoted amounts. With this, the makers chose 9th January 2026 as the release date.

Prime Video has set the OTT deal with Jana Nayagan, and it has bought the rights of the film for all languages. The makers officially announced this, as they have added the logo of Prime Video to official posters. 

Reportedly, the OTT rights of the film are sold at around the 110 Cr range, which is a solid deal for the makers, considering the recent downfall of the OTT market.

The Great Pre-Wedding Show is the latest entertainer arrived in theaters alongside many movies on November 7th. The film stars Masooda fame Thiruveer as the lead and it garnered a decent amount of interest among audiences. Let’s check how the film has been made in our review.

Story:

Ramesh (played by Thiruveer) is a small-town photographer who runs a modest studio that also doubles as a xerox shop. He quietly admires Hema (Tina Shravya), who works at the Village Panchayat office across the street. Though they care for each other, neither openly expresses their feelings. Ramesh is hired to shoot a pre-wedding photoshoot for a couple, Anand and Soundarya.

But things take a chaotic turn when the chip containing the footage goes missing. The rest of the story follows how Ramesh deals with the confusion and tries to fix the situation.

Performances:

Thiruveer fits the role perfectly and gives a very natural performance. He brings impact even to simple scenes. Tina Shravya is pleasant and adds value to the story. Narendra Ravi as Anand and Yamni Nageshwar as Soundarya are both convincing and deliver strong performances as a couple. The actors playing their parents also do a good job and suit their roles well.

Analysis:

Directed by Rahul Srinivas, The Great Pre-Wedding Show is a simple story set in a small-town backdrop. The first half moves slowly as the characters and setting are introduced. The romantic and fun moments between Ramesh and Hema aren’t very strong but have a few engaging scenes. The pace picks up once Anand and Soundarya’s wedding is fixed.

The scenes around the pre-wedding shoot are shown in a humorous way, and the director nicely captures the growing bond between the couple. The film moves with timely twists up to the interval.

After a brief backstory, the plot becomes predictable, but the narration keeps it engaging. The situational comedy works well and makes the audience care about the characters. A touch of emotion is added near the climax, but it’s kept subtle, and the film ends on a light and cheerful note.

Positives:

  • Casting/Performances
  • Second Half
  • Suresh Bobbili’s Music

Negatives:

  • Too Simple Plotline or Conflict
  • Repetitive/Predictable Moments

The Great Pre-Wedding Review and Verdict:

Overall, The Great Pre-Wedding Show is a decent entertainer with a grounded setting, natural performances, and enjoyable situational comedy. Despite a few dull and predictable moments, it’s a pleasant watch.

Rumors have been swirling across both the South and North film industries about a possible relationship between actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Raj Nidimoru, one-half of the director duo behind The Family Man series. While neither of them has officially confirmed anything, the buzz has only grown stronger in recent months.

In the post, she shared a series of pictures, and one particular photo has gone viral, as it shows Samantha hugging Raj Nidimoru, marking their first cozy moment shared publicly.

This intimate gesture has sent social media into a frenzy, with fans and netizens speculating that a big announcement might be on the way. Many believe this post is Samantha’s way of subtly confirming the relationship, while others are waiting to see how both respond to the growing chatter.

The post, which includes behind-the-scenes moments and candid shots, has already attracted thousands of likes and comments. While some fans are celebrating the possible new chapter in Samantha’s life, others are spinning stories and theories about how this bond may have developed during their collaboration on The Family Man 2, where Samantha played a key role.

As of now, neither Samantha nor Raj Nidimoru has made an official statement, but the viral photo has certainly stirred excitement and curiosity across the entertainment world.

Telugu Directors Limiting Janhvi Kapoor to Glamour Roles

0

Janhvi Kapoor is landing big projects in Telugu cinema, but she’s yet to get a role that truly showcases her acting talent. Her debut in Telugu with the high-profile film Devara was a major opportunity, but her character was poorly written and limited to songs and glamour.

Her next Telugu film, Peddi, is also a big-budget project. However, based on the recently released first look, it seems Janhvi might once again be playing a glamorous role with little depth. Audiences have pointed out that her look in Peddi is very similar to Devara’s, with no noticeable change in styling or character presentation.

Today, the first single from Peddi titled Chikiri Chikiri was released. Ram Charan’s dance moves, style, and visuals received a positive response. But Janhvi Kapoor was again portrayed as a glam doll throughout the song, raising concerns about her limited scope in the film.

Then Devara and Now Peddi: Jahnvi Kapoor is getting utilized only for her glamour

It appears that directors are restricting her to glamorous roles, without giving her a chance to display her full range of skills. This trend could be a warning sign for Janhvi’s growth in Telugu cinema. All eyes are now on Buchi Babu, the director of Peddi, to see if he will break this pattern.

In his debut film Uppena, Buchi Babu wrote a strong and layered role for the female lead, Krithi Shetty, which was widely appreciated. Fans hoped he would do the same for Janhvi in Peddi. But based on the first single, her character seems to be focused only on glamour, which is disappointing.
