Directed by H. Vinoth, the movie is getting released on 9th January, 2026, for the Pongal festival, and it is doing record business in both theatrical and non-theatrical.

Mass Jathara Set for Early OTT Release

Ravi Teja’s latest film, Mass Jathara, was released in theaters last week, and the film received unanimous negative reviews, resulting in a big failure at the box office. The film is now eyeing an early OTT premiere. 

Mass Jathara was expected to bring vintage Ravi Teja on screen, and it also had paid premieres before the release day, which led to unanimous negative reviews from audiences and critics. The weekend itself ended the film’s theatrical run at the box office.

According to the initial plan, Mass Jathara was all set to stream on Netflix from 28th November, but there is a buzz that it might hit sooner than expected. There are chances for the 21st November OTT release of this film.

The film was directed by Bhanu Bhogavarapu, who made his debut as a director, and it stars Sree Leela as the female lead, with the music being scored by Bheems Ciceroleo.

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.

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.
