Netflix Shock: Idli Kadai Clocks Higher Views Than OG

Pawan Kalyan’s biggest box office hit, They Call Him OG, began streaming on Netflix in all languages from October 23rd. Meanwhile, Dhanush’s Idli Kadai started streaming on October 29th, also in all languages. Surprisingly, despite the later release, Idli Kadai has already recorded higher views than OG.

OG – Idli Kadai Views on Netflix till now

  • OG received 3.2 million views in its first week (Oct 23–26) and 2.1 million views in its second week (Oct 27–Nov 2), totaling 5.2 million views over 11 days.
  • Idli Kadai gathered 5.1 million views in just 5 days (Oct 29–Nov 2), nearly matching OG’s 11-day total.

Idli Kadai getting more views than OG on Netflix has surprised fans and industry watchers, especially since Pawan Kalyan’s film had a much bigger OTT deal and is part of a franchise film, which usually demands strong digital performance.

From a business point of view, OG was expected to attract massive viewership, but it hasn’t met those expectations so far, and it needs to maintain consistency in the coming days to increase its views.

Bigg Boss Telugu 9 Week 9: These Contestants Face Elimination Heat

Bigg Boss Telugu 9 continues to entertain viewers with drama, fun, and its fair share of controversies. The nominations for Week 9 are complete, and the following contestants have been nominated and are in danger of elimination.

Thanuja, Kalyan, Bharani, Sanjana, Suman Shetty, Srinivas Sai, and Ramu Rathod are the contestants who have been nominated for elimination in Bigg Boss Telugu 9 in the 9th week.

According to voting trends, Thanuja is currently leading, followed by Kalyan and Suman Shetty. However, Srinivas Sai and Ramu Rathod are reportedly in the bottom two, making them the potential candidates for elimination.

Both contestants were also in the bottom positions last week. Srinivas Sai, who entered the house as a wild card, hasn’t made a strong impact on the game so far.

So, most probably, Srinivas Sai is said to be in danger of getting eliminated from the house, as viewers are not much fond of his game. Most unofficial polls show him in last place, with Ramu Rathod just above him.

Bad Girl Produced by Vetri Maaran Streaming Now

The Tamil coming-of-age drama Bad Girl, directed by debut filmmaker Varsha Bharath and produced by Vetrimaaran, is now available for streaming on OTT. The film made some noise during its teaser launch and theatrical release as well.

Varsha Bharath, who earlier worked with Vetrimaaran, makes her directorial debut with this film. Interestingly, Anurag Kashyap has also collaborated with Vetrimaaran to produce and present the project.

Anjali Sivaraman plays the lead role in Bad Girl, a bold and entertaining coming-of-age story that gained attention for its teaser dialogues and for being backed by Vetrimaaran’s production, and now everyone awaits the response to it from the OTT viewers.

Jio Hotstar has acquired the streaming rights, and the film is now available in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, and Kannada.

The film follows Ramya’s journey from her teenage years to her early 30s, exploring her struggles with social expectations, romantic experiences, and her path toward self-discovery.

Akhanda 2 Team Must Kick Off Big

Akhanda 2 Team Must Kick Off Big

Akhanda 2, starring Balakrishna and directed by Boyapati Sreenu, is the upcoming Telugu biggie. With just one month left for its theatrical release on December 5th, fans are surprised that the first single from the film hasn’t been released yet. So far, the makers have done very little promotion, which is disappointing for audiences.

Nowadays, songs play a major role in building hype, especially for big-budget projects. Despite this, the team is delaying the music release, frustrating fans who expected more updates by now.

Akhanda 2 is not just a regional release; it’s a biggie that aims towards pan-India audiences, especially the Hindi market, where it has strong potential. To make an impact, the team needs to step up promotions, including interviews, media appearances, and participation in major events across Hindi-speaking regions.

Until now, only intro glimpses of the lead characters have been released, which is not enough to create strong buzz. For a pan-India film like this, at least two or three singles and two theatrical trailers should be launched soon, along with aggressive promotional campaigns.

Fans are eagerly waiting, but time is running out. The makers need to act fast to ensure Akhanda 2 gets the attention it deserves.

The Raja Saab First Single Postponed Again

After waiting for a long time, Prabhas’ fans were happy that the first single of The Raja Saab’s First Single would be released on the occasion of their favorite hero’s birthday. But the song was not released on the said date, much to the disappointment of everyone. 

The team was busy with the song’s shoot, which made the first single release get delayed, and the makers just released a new poster on Prabhas’s birthday.

During a recent interaction with the fans, director Maruthi said that the first song will be released around 5th November. But now the news is that the song is getting delayed again. 

Poor Promotions from The Raja Saab Team Disappoint Prabhas Fans

Prabha fans have been waiting for an official update from the team of The Raja Saab, and we need to wait and see whether they announce at least when the first single will arrive.

The team is busy with heavy post-production work, and they are sure that the film is on track for a 9th January release, but simultaneously, the team needs to give updates, as it is a big pan-India film, and the buzz needs to increase massively.

Baahubali: The Epic 1st Weekend Overseas Box Office

SS Rajamouli and Prabhas’s Baahubali has performed well upon its re-release, and especially the overseas performance has been excellent during its first weekend and surprised the trade with its consistency at the box office.

Baahubali: The Epic Overseas Weekend Collections

North America: $742K
UK $138K
Middle East: $95K
Australia $78K
Rest $80K

Totally it gathered $1.14M – ₹10.1 crores. A re-release collecting more than USD 1 million and 10 Cr INR is definitely a huge achievement. The film is expected to collect 1 million in North America during its full run.

Baahubali: The Epic has performed exceptionally well overseas, and overall worldwide, the film has collected around 39 Cr gross in 4 days at the box office. It is expected to cross the 50 Cr mark in its full run. It already created a record for the opening day for a re-released movie.

Kantara Chapter 1 Joins 70 Cr Club in Tamil Nadu

Kantara Chapter 1 performed very strongly in Tamil Nadu right from day 1, and it even impacted Dhanush’s Idli Kadai, and it also joined the 70 Cr gross club, which is almost the closing collections for the film. 

This is the 6th non-Tamil film to collect more than 70 Cr gross in Tamil Nadu. Baahubali 2 is the first one to do this, followed by KGF 2, RRR, Avatar 2, Pushpa 2, and now Kantara Chapter 1, which performs superbly in Tamil Nadu.

The film could have done much better if the film had not opted for an early OTT release. Due to OTT arrival last weekend, the film did not see much of a significant jump in the numbers last weekend in South languages. 

Overall, worldwide, the film has collected more than 820 Cr gross until now, and it is the biggest grosser of 2025.

Bandla Ganesh Crosses All Limits for Attention

Producer Bandla Ganesh is known for his bold and outspoken speeches. While some of his past comments, especially about Pawan Kalyan, were taken humorously, his recent words have started to offend people.

A few days ago, during the success meet of Little Hearts, Bandla made controversial statements that indirectly hurt Bunny Vasu and Allu Aravind. Bunny Vasu later said that although he wanted to stop Bandla from speaking, he chose not to intervene since it was a public event.

Bandla Ganesh is getting famous for wrong reasons

Again, at the success meet of K-Ramp held yesterday, Bandla Ganesh stirred controversy. While praising actor Kiran Abbavaram, he took a dig at another actor, saying that some heroes show too much attitude after just one hit. Although he didn’t name anyone, many felt he was clearly targeting Vijay Deverakonda.

This has led to growing criticism in the industry, with many questioning why Bandla Ganesh continues to be invited to public events when his speeches often cross the line and seem aimed at gaining attention by putting others down.
