Built on an Already Winning Glimpse

Hanuman Ansh 6th Week Box Office, Breaks Kantara Record by Double Margin

Hanuman Ansh has recorded the biggest ever sixth week in Indian cinema history, and it has done so by a double margin. In its sixth week, the film has collected around 100 Cr gross in India, breaking the previous record held by Kantara, which stood at around 45 Cr, by more than double.

Total Collections So Far

For the full 6 weeks, the film has collected close to 300 Cr gross in India. With overseas collections added, the total worldwide gross now stands at 320 Cr. Given the strength the film is showing even at this stage of its run, Hanuman Ansh has all the potential to enter the 500 Cr club by the time its full run is complete.

The Journey So Far

The growth pattern of Hanuman Ansh has been unusual and remarkable. The film opened quietly, collecting just around 1 Cr in its first week, and stayed in the same range in the second week as well. The third week saw a good jump, taking the total to 12 Cr. From the fourth week, the film began its rampage, with the fourth week alone collecting around 75 Cr gross in India. The fifth and sixth weeks then went on to become the biggest of the entire run.

The Paradise Overseas Pre Sales Cross 550K, Set for 2M Opening Day

The Paradise overseas opening day pre sales have crossed the 550K dollar mark, With North America contributing 500K range. With this trend, the film is now set for a minimum 2M dollar opening day at the box office, with the potential to go even bigger.

Strong Jump in last two days

The last two days have shown an excellent trend for the film, with very good jumps seen across all overseas territories. This kind of growth so close to release is a clear sign of the strong demand building around the film.

Record Price for a Tier 2 Star Film

The overseas rights of The Paradise were sold for 18 Cr, a record price for a Tier 2 star film. The advance bookings are now opening at a level that matches this price, showing that the distributors who bought the film at a record rate are seeing the returns they expected. If the initial word of mouth turns out positive, the film can achieve its breakeven($4.5M) within the first week itself.

Overseas Remains Nani’s Strongest Territory

Nani continues to be extremely strong overseas, and this market remains undoubtedly his number one territory at the box office. The current trend for The Paradise only adds further proof to this track record.

Mandaadi Director Mathimaran Says Suhas Faced Racist Comments Back Home

Mandaadi Director Mathimaran Says Suhas Faced Racist Comments Back Home

Mandaadi director Mathimaran made a comment at the film’s success meet that has not gone down well with Telugu audiences. Speaking about Suhas, he said, “Suhas was disappointed with the racist comments back home. But in TN, people love your colour, Sattai Puli is being celebrated here.”

This is not the first time such a comment has come from the Mandaadi team. At the Telugu pre release event as well, Soori spoke on similar lines about how Suhas has been treated. Two members of the same team have now made the same point, and both times, the claim has been attached to Suhas without Suhas saying this himself.

Why This Does Not Match Reality

Suhas has a clean and strong journey in Telugu cinema. He started with YouTube short films and grew step by step to become a lead hero. He has done many films as the lead actor and has earned a good name for himself in the industry. Telugu audiences have never targeted his looks or his colour at any point in his career.

In fact, Mandaadi itself is working well in Telugu mainly because of Suhas. Audiences are praising his performance and his character in the film. This makes the director’s comment look even more out of place, since the very audience being spoken about is the one celebrating Suhas right now.

Telugu fans feel that this comment is being used to build up the film’s Tamil Nadu response by putting down the Telugu audience in the same breath. Since Suhas has not made this statement on his own, fans are questioning why his name is being used this way by others from the same team.

Epic 1st Week Box Office: Disastrous Numbers for the Baby Pair’s Reunion

Epic has had a disastrous opening week at the box office, a stark contrast to the massive expectations riding on it going in.

Where the Expectations Came From

The film carried big anticipation for good reason, it’s a continuation of 90’s – A Middle Class Biopic, one of Telugu audiences’ most-loved web series, reuniting Anand Deverakonda and Vaishnavi Chaitanya, the hit pair from Baby. Produced by Naga Vamsi, the film also had its songs working well ahead of release, adding to the positivity and buzz.

Where It Went Wrong

Everything changed with the trailer. The response to it worked against the film in a big way, killing the buzz just before release. Despite that, the makers went ahead with confidence and screened paid premieres , but with the content failing to meet audience expectations, the film simply did not work at the box office.

The Numbers

For the entire first week, Epic has collected around ₹7.5 Cr, with overseas adding roughly $250K, taking total worldwide collections to the ₹10 Cr range. Against a breakeven requirement of ₹25 Cr, the recovery stands at just 40%, and the film is already failing to recover theatrical rents given the low occupancies across shows. The second weekend is expected to be the closing numbers for the film, and that weekend isn’t expected to add much either.

The Fallout

With this outcome, the distributors involved stand to lose roughly half of their invested amount, making Epic a big failure at the box office.

Dhruva Natchathiram Investor Finalised, Vikram’s Film Set to Release Before October 31

Director Gautham Vasudev Menon has informed the Madras High Court that an investor has been finalised to facilitate the release of Dhruva Natchathiram, starring Vikram, before October 31, 2026.

The Court’s Directive

The court has extended the film’s release deadline while directing Menon to submit documents verifying a reported ₹10.57 crore payment made to Vikram. The case has been under judicial oversight since May, when Justice Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy ordered an escrow account to be set up under Menon’s production house, Kondaduvom Entertainment, with an advocate commissioner appointed to oversee all transactions tied to the film’s release.

A Project Over a Decade in the Making

Dhruva Natchathiram has one of the longest gestation periods in recent Tamil cinema. Originally announced in 2013 with Suriya in the lead, the spy action thriller was revived with Vikram in 2017 after Suriya exited the project. Directed and produced by Menon under Ondraga Entertainment, the film features music by Harris Jayaraj and an ensemble cast including Ritu Varma, Aishwarya Rajesh and R. Parthiban.

With an investor now in place and a firm court-monitored deadline, Dhruva Natchathiram appears closer than ever to finally reaching audiences.
