Raaka Glimpse Confirmed for September 21, Director Cibi Chakravarthi Reveals Details

Director Cibi Chakravarthi has revealed fresh details about Raaka, saying that Atlee personally showed him the visuals of the film, and that they surpass anything seen before, including Avatar.

What Cibi Chakravarthi Said

Sharing his reaction, Cibi Chakravarthi said, “Atlee showed me the visuals of Raaka. We’ve never seen visuals like these, not even in Avatar. You’ll get a glimpse in 3 days, it was extraordinary.”

The Glimpse Arrives on Atlee’s Birthday

The glimpse is set to release on September 21, which happens to be Atlee’s birthday. This continues the pattern the makers have followed throughout this film’s promotion, using personal milestones for the team as reveal moments rather than a regular promotional calendar.

With a fellow filmmaker publicly comparing the visuals to Avatar, one of the biggest technical benchmarks in cinema, expectations for the Raaka glimpse have gone up sharply. Fans now have just a short wait left to see whether the visuals live up to this comparison.

Jhansi Becomes First Captain of Bigg Boss 10 Telugu, Beats Ram Prasad in Final Battle

Singer Jhansi, who entered the house as a commoner, has become the first captain of Bigg Boss Telugu 10, winning the captaincy final against Ram Prasad in a task built around keys, weights, and a flag.

How the Task Worked

Both contestants had to hop through a set of boxes and move forward, cutting near a marked color point along the way. Once they crossed that stage, they had to reach a spot where a set of keys were placed. The rule was simple, only one key could be tried at a time. If a key did not work, the contestant had to go back and try the next one before attempting again.

Once the right key opened the lock, the contestant had to take a weight from that point, carry it near the captain seat, and attach it to a Velcro strip fixed there. After that, the weight had to be placed in a designated spot, and a flag had to be planted to complete the task. Whoever managed to stand their flag first would get the advantage in the captaincy final.

Jhansi Gets There First

Jhansi completed the task ahead of Ram Prasad, planting the flag first and sealing the win. With this, Singer Jhansi becomes the first captain of Bigg Boss Telugu 10.

As the first captain, Jhansi now holds a position of authority inside the house, including a say in nominations and daily tasks. Early captaincy wins often set the tone for a contestant’s game in the weeks that follow, and this win puts Jhansi in a strong starting position for the season.

Daayra Day 1 Box Office Disaster, Prithviraj Sukumaran Film Fails to Draw Audience

Daayra has opened to a disastrous Day 1 at the box office. The film even received positive reviews on release, but that did not translate into audience interest, with theatres seeing minimal turnout on the very first day.

The All India Tracked Numbers

On Day 1, Daayra collected around 1.19 Cr gross across languages, from just over 39,900 tickets and 2,411 shows. The Hindi version made up almost the entire total at 1.18 Cr, while the Malayalam version added only 1.36 lakh.

The biggest shock comes from the Malayalam side. Despite Prithviraj Sukumaran being one of the lead actors, the Malayalam version did not even manage 1,000 tickets sold across all of India on Day 1, a number that is hard to explain for an actor of his standing in his own home industry.

Early advance bookings for Day 2 are also not showing any improvement, suggesting the poor opening is not a one-day issue. At this stage, the film looks like it is facing an outright rejection from audiences, regardless of the reviews it received going in.

Bigg Boss Telugu 10 Week 2 Elimination, Four Contestants in Danger Zone

Bigg Boss Telugu 10 has entered its second week of eliminations, with Rohit, Mukesh, Trigun, Ram Prasad, Debjani, Shalini, Jhansi, Krishnudu, Sudheer and Srishti and Varshini all placed in the nominations list this week.

Who Is at Risk

Out of this full list, four contestants are said to be in the actual danger zone based on unofficial polls. Krishnudu, Sudheer, Srishti and Varshini are currently getting the least votes among the nominated contestants, putting them at the highest risk of elimination this week.

High Chances for Krishnudu or Sudheer

Among these four, there is a high chance that either Krishnudu or Sudheer will be eliminated this week. If the makers go for a double elimination, both of them could end up leaving the house together. There is also a slight chance that Varshini or Srishti could face elimination if the numbers shift.

Single or Double Elimination

Going by the current trend, only one elimination is expected to happen out of these four contestants in most cases. What remains to be seen is whether this week ends with a single elimination or a double elimination, which will decide how many of these four actually leave the house.

Irumudi Gets Mixed Response on OTT Despite Massive Theatrical Success

Irumudi, which saw a sensational run in theatres, has emerged as the biggest blockbuster of Ravi Teja’s career and the most watched Telugu film of the year. The film arrived on Netflix today at 12 AM, but surprisingly, the response on OTT is coming in mixed.

Some Feel the Film Does Not Match the Hype

A section of the audience feels the film does not carry the kind of potential that led to such huge box office numbers. Many viewers are finding the theme around child harassment uncomfortable and awkward to watch on a streaming platform, where the viewing experience is more personal and close compared to a theatre.

Others Continue to Praise the Film

At the same time, another section of the audience is liking the film a lot, calling it a well written and well directed film. For this group, the same theme that others found difficult is being seen as a bold and honest attempt at serious storytelling.

It is unusual for a film with such a strong theatrical run and box office record to see this kind of divided response right after its OTT debut. The coming days on streaming will show which side of this opinion holds stronger as more viewers watch the film at home.

The Paradise Plot Revealed – Nani Leads An Oppressed Community

The Paradise is set for a grand worldwide theatrical release on September 24, 2026, with paid premiere shows scheduled across India and overseas on the night of September 23. The film, which has remained on track for its announced release date despite recent postponement rumours, is now entering the final stretch ahead of its much-awaited theatrical arrival. With premiere bookings opening in overseas markets, anticipation is building rapidly for Nani and director Srikanth Odela’s ambitious action drama.

Odela’s Dystopian World

Set against the backdrop of 1980s Secunderabad, The Paradise follows Jadal (Nani), a man from a marginalised community who rises as a leader and leads his people in a fight for identity, dignity and their rightful place in society. Kayadu Lohar plays Subbu, Jadal’s female counterpart, while Sampoornesh Babu plays Biryani, his close friend. On the other side of the conflict are Mohan Babu as Shikanja Maalik and Raghav Juyal as Vikram Maalik, whose clash with Jadal drives the film’s larger uprising. Despite its intense action and revolutionary backdrop, Srikanth Odela has described the film at its heart as an emotional mother-son story.

Nani’s Biggest Bet

Meanwhile, The Paradise is arriving with Nani’s biggest-ever pre-release theatrical business. According to trade figures reported by TrackTollywood, the Telugu version has done ₹75.7 crore in the Telugu states, with Karnataka contributing ₹6.5 crore, the rest of India ₹3.5 crore and overseas ₹18 crore, taking the worldwide theatrical business to ₹103.7 crore. The scale of the business, coupled with the buzz surrounding Nani’s reunion with Dasara director Srikanth Odela, has created considerable pre-release excitement, with the film now carrying one of the biggest theatrical expectations of Nani’s career.

Irumudi Misses 100 Cr Nizam Club Due to Netflix Arrival

Irumudi is the most watched film of the year among Telugu audiences. Worldwide, the film had collected around 240 Cr gross till yesterday, and today the movie has arrived on Netflix in all languages, following the regular four week OTT window most big films now follow.

A Rare Long Run

Normally, most films end their meaningful theatrical run by the second weekend itself. Irumudi was different. The film kept seeing good numbers even till yesterday, with theatres still collecting a fair share this deep into its run.

So Close to 100 Cr in Telangana

In Telangana alone, the film collected close to 95 Cr gross till now. It could have easily joined the 100 Cr club, especially since this weekend has no notable new Telugu releases that would have taken away screens or footfalls. If the OTT window had been extended by even two more weeks, Irumudi could have comfortably reached that mark.

Very few pan India films have ever touched 100 Cr gross in Nizam alone. Baahubali 2, RRR, Pushpa 2, Salaar and Kalki 2898 AD are the only names in this club so far. Irumudi misses out on joining this list, and at the worldwide level, it also falls just short of entering the 250 Cr club.

Despite missing both these milestones, Irumudi remains a sensational blockbuster. The film has given a massive comeback for Ravi Teja and has brought big relief and strong profits to the trade.
