Peddi Hellallallo: Ram Charan’s Energetic Mass Anthem

Ram Charan’s highly anticipated rural action drama Peddi continues to build massive hype with the release of its third single, Hellallallo. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana and produced by Vriddhi Cinemas in association with Mythri Movie Makers and Sukumar Writings, the film promises a grand, emotionally charged cinematic experience.

Grand Unveiling at Peddi Ki Awaaz Event

The song received a phenomenal response at the Peddi Ki Awaaz musical event held on May 23, 2026, at BHEL Dussehra Ground in Bhopal. The large-scale promotional concert featured a live performance by maestro A. R. Rahman, who shared the stage with Ram Charan to unveil Hellallallo before its digital release.

High-Energy Musical Composition

Composed by A. R. Rahman, Hellallallo has emerged as a high-energy mass anthem with powerful beats, folk-style lyrics by Anantha Sriram, and energetic vocals by Rakshita Suresh. The song follows the success of Chikiri Chikiri and Rai Rai Raa Raa, which have together crossed 300 million views.

Visual Spectacle and Star Power

Visually mounted on a grand scale, the song features Ram Charan, Shruti Haasan, and Janhvi Kapoor delivering electrifying dance performances. Ram Charan’s energetic screen presence, combined with Shruti Haasan’s glamour and Janhvi Kapoor’s elegance, makes the track a major visual spectacle.

With lavish production values and mass appeal, Hellallallo is expected to become one of the biggest chartbusters of the year. Peddi is gearing up for a grand theatrical release on June 4, 2026, with premieres scheduled for June 3.

Karuppu is witnessing an extraordinary second weekend run at the box office, with its 9th day All India tracked gross reaching nearly 90% of its opening day collections. The film’s sustained momentum showcases strong audience retention and positive word-of-mouth.

Box Office Performance

The film has posted impressive numbers across territories. The 9-day All India tracked gross stands at ₹138.48 Cr, while actual collections are estimated to be over ₹150 Cr. The worldwide gross has entered the ₹215 Cr range. For detailed daily box office collections, fans can track the film’s performance across all territories of India.

Road to ₹300 Cr Milestone

With solid advance bookings for today, Karuppu is now targeting the ₹300 Cr worldwide milestone. The upcoming Bakrid holiday falling this week is expected to provide a major boost to the film’s box office trajectory, potentially helping it achieve the landmark figure in the coming days.

Drishyam 3 Day 3 Box Office: ₹110 Cr Worldwide Gross

Drishyam 3 is performing exceptionally well at the Drishyam 3 box office, delivering a strong opening weekend. The Mohanlal-starrer witnessed a Day 3 jump over Day 2, with collections reaching almost 90% of the opening day — an extraordinary weekend trend that signals robust audience demand.

Drishyam 3 Box Office Collections – Day 3

The film’s opening weekend numbers showcase massive momentum across markets. The film’s 3-day All India tracked gross stands at ₹43.67 Cr (estimated actuals: ₹47 Cr), while the worldwide gross has reached ₹110 Cr.

Day 4 advance bookings are also looking solid, indicating sustained interest as the film enters its first weekday. For detailed day-wise collection breakdowns, check the Drishyam 3 Malayalam box office tracker.

Kerala Creates All-Time Records

Even with mixed word of mouth, Drishyam 3 created all-time record grosses in Kerala for both Day 2 and Day 3. The sequel craze helped the film overcome mixed reception during the opening weekend, with Malayalam audiences responding comparatively better than other language markets.

The Kerala circuit remains the film’s strongest territory, powering the massive worldwide gross. The home market advantage for this Malayalam franchise is evident in the historic single-day records. The film faces its first weekday test on Monday.

Performance in Other Languages

The mixed word of mouth has definitely impacted Drishyam 3 box office performance in other languages. The film had strong potential to perform much bigger in Tamil and Telugu markets given the franchise’s pan-South appeal and the popularity of the original Drishyam story across multiple industries.

However, due to the mixed to below-par reception outside Kerala, it is not generating huge numbers in these circuits. The dubbed versions are underperforming compared to pre-release expectations.

Verdict

Considering the budget and overall revenues, Drishyam 3 is already a mega blockbuster. The film’s strong opening weekend — led by Kerala’s historic performance — sets it up for a profitable theatrical run despite the mixed critical reception.

Ram Charan Apologizes to Jasprit Bumrah After Viral Gaffe

Mega Power Star Ram Charan found himself at the center of a viral moment during the music launch of his upcoming film Peddi in Bhopal. The actor accidentally referred to star Indian cricketer Jasprit Bumrah as a football player, sparking widespread reactions across social media. Realizing his mistake, Ram Charan quickly issued a public apology on X (formerly Twitter).

What Happened at the Peddi Event

During an interactive session with fans at the event, Ram Charan was asked to describe some of India’s popular cricketers in a few words. The actor praised legendary batsman Sachin Tendulkar by calling his career a “legendary journey,” described former Indian captain MS Dhoni as “cool and calm,” and referred to current skipper Rohit Sharma as “everyone’s favourite.” Star batsman Virat Kohli was called “fire.”

However, when it came to Jasprit Bumrah, India’s premier fast bowler and 2024 T20 World Cup Player of the Tournament, Charan said, “Jasprit Bumrah ji… I am your biggest fan. I love football and aap football ko itne aage badha rahe ho (You are taking football to a whole different level).”

The slip-up left the audience surprised, and the video quickly went viral. Netizens started sharing memes and jokes, with many recalling how Jr NTR had once mentioned that Charan often forgets names.

Ram Charan’s Heartfelt Apology

Realizing his mistake, Ram Charan took to X late at night and posted a heartfelt apology to the Indian pace legend.

“Uff…I’m genuinely forgetful with names sometimes. Apologies to Jasprit Bumrah ji for the mix-up. It was a genuine human error in the middle of all the excitement and the massive crowd. I truly respect and am a huge fan of his game,” the actor wrote.

The candid admission and quick apology won appreciation from fans, who found the incident both funny and endearing. The mix-up has since become one of the most talked-about moments from the Peddi promotional tour, according to regional media reports.

Telugu Film Chamber Gives Green Signal for Peddi

Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce has officially released a fresh press note regarding the release of Peddi amid the ongoing discussions between producers and exhibitors over the percentage-sharing and rental system issue.

A few days ago, a crucial meeting was held by the chamber with representatives from the producers, distributors, and exhibitors sectors to discuss the long-pending debate surrounding the percentage model and traditional rental system in theatres. Following the discussions, several amendments and temporary understandings were reportedly reached between all parties.

At that time, the chamber clarified that the final decision regarding the new percentage system would be taken before the end of June 2026 or before the next major release. It was also assured that Peddi would not face any hurdles because of the ongoing issue.

Telangana Exhibitors Demand Percentage Model for Peddi

However, the controversy resurfaced once again today after Telangana exhibitors reportedly demanded that the percentage-sharing model should be implemented specifically for Peddi as well. Reports suggested that some exhibitors even warned that the film would not be screened if their demands were not fulfilled.

This development echoed concerns raised during the recent standoff over theatre operations in Telangana, which had threatened shutdowns across single-screen venues.

Telugu Film Chamber Supports Smooth Peddi Release

In response to the growing confusion, the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce issued an official clarification note confirming that the release of Peddi will happen smoothly as per the previously agreed terms.

According to the note, all members unanimously agreed that the film should release without any hindrance. The chamber also mentioned that in Andhra Pradesh, if there is any ticket price hike for the film, a 7.5% share would be applicable. Additional payment structures for premiere shows across A, B, and C centers were also discussed and finalized.

For Telangana, the note stated that these conditions would apply only if ticket prices are increased. Otherwise, exhibitors and distributors are expected to hold mutual discussions and settle the matter accordingly.

The chamber further confirmed that producers, distributors, and exhibitors have all agreed in principle to implement the percentage-sharing system in the future, with a final framework expected to be decided in the coming weeks.

With this latest clarification, the makers and fans of Peddi can now breathe easy, as the film’s release appears to be safe despite the ongoing industry-wide discussions.

Drishyam 3 Second Day: ₹33.4 Cr All-Time Mollywood Record

Mohanlal‘s Drishyam 3 has created history by registering the biggest second day collection in Mollywood box office history. The Drishyam 3 second day gross of ₹33.4 Cr surpasses Empuraan‘s ₹33.3 Cr to claim the all-time Day 2 record for Malayalam cinema.

The third installment of the acclaimed Drishyam franchise has been showing a tremendous trend since its release, with the film set to collect superb numbers through the weekend. Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, core Malayali audiences have embraced the thriller, which is clearly reflected in the exceptional box office performance.

Top 3 Day 2 Collections in Malayalam Cinema History

The Drishyam 3 second day achievement places it at the top of Mollywood’s Day 2 records:

The film’s strong hold on Saturday, despite the typical drop from Friday, demonstrates the massive pull of the Drishyam brand among Malayalam audiences. Sunday is expected to see another surge in collections.

Drishyam Franchise Continues Box Office Dominance

The Drishyam franchise has been a consistent box office powerhouse in Malayalam cinema. While the Drishyam 2 re-release failed to draw audiences last month due to OTT availability, Drishyam 3 has proven that the theatrical appetite for new installments remains strong. The Mohanlal-starrer continues to set benchmarks for Malayalam cinema’s commercial potential.

Telangana Exhibitors Demand Percentage System for Peddi

The latest decision by Telangana Exhibitors demanding the percentage system model for Peddi has shocked the industry, especially since the film was expected to have a smooth release without any complications.

Exhibitors Target Peddi Despite Phase-Wise Agreement

This move is seen as a clear indication of Telangana exhibitors targeting Peddi and the Mythri group. Just days ago, exhibitors had announced that the shift to percentage-based screening would happen gradually, and distributor Dil Raju had publicly stated that Peddi would get a big release without any hurdles.

Now, Telangana Exhibitors are firm that they will release the film only if the Peddi makers agree to a percentage-based deal instead of the advance rental system. At the same time, they are requesting the government not to increase ticket prices suddenly.

Industry Calls It Blackmail Tactics

This is being viewed as nothing short of blackmailing, especially since the film is not being released by their respective people. The ongoing dispute between Mythri Movie Makers and Telangana exhibitors over revenue-sharing models has now directly impacted Peddi‘s theatrical release plans.

The percentage system demands come despite earlier assurances of a phase-wise transition, raising concerns about exhibitor tactics targeting specific production houses.

Dhanush’s Kara OTT Release: Netflix Date Set for May 28

After an underwhelming theatrical run, Dhanush‘s latest crime thriller Kara is set to make its digital debut on Netflix. The film, which was released in theatres on April 30, 2026, failed to make a mark at the box office but will now get a second chance to reach audiences through OTT.

Streaming on Netflix from May 28

The digital streaming rights of Kara have been acquired by Netflix, and the film is officially set to begin streaming from May 28, 2026. This means audiences now have only a few more days to wait for its OTT premiere.

Apart from Tamil, Kara will also be available in Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam languages, allowing it to reach a wider South Indian audience. The multi-language release strategy ensures maximum visibility across key markets in the region.

Crime Drama from Por Thozhil Director

Kara is directed by Vignesh Raja, who previously delivered the blockbuster OTT suspense thriller Por Thozhil. With Kara, the director once again explores a gripping crime-based narrative filled with action and emotional drama.

The story revolves around a former thief who wants to leave his criminal past behind and live a peaceful life. However, unexpected circumstances force him back into the world of crime, setting off a chain of events that form the core of this thriller. Mamitha Baiju plays the female lead role opposite Dhanush in the film.

With a runtime of 161 minutes and a UA 16+ certification, Kara promises an intense viewing experience for mature audiences when it arrives on Netflix later this month.

Telangana Exhibitors Deny Peddi Ticket Hikes, Push Percentage System

The ongoing dispute between Telangana exhibitors and producers has now directly impacted Ram Charan’s upcoming film Peddi, with the Telangana Exhibitors Association making it clear that there will be no ticket price hikes for the film in the Nizam region.

The exhibitors announced their decision during a press meet and revealed that they have already written to Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy regarding the issue.

No Ticket Hikes in Telangana, Only in AP

According to the association, ticket hikes for Peddi will be allowed only in Andhra Pradesh, while Telangana will strictly follow the percentage-sharing system.

The exhibitors made it clear that they want the percentage system to be implemented for Peddi as well and warned that the film will be screened in Telangana only if the issue is resolved accordingly.

This latest development is part of a larger dispute over the percentage model that has been ongoing between producers and exhibitors since early April.

Exhibitors Accuse Producers of Delaying Talks

The Telangana Exhibitors Association alleged that producers have been intentionally delaying discussions on the matter.

They revealed that during the release of Hari Hara Veeramallu, they stepped back from raising their demands because they did not want to create problems at that time. However, they continued to push for the percentage system afterward.

According to the exhibitors, Peddi too got postponed and eventually entered the discussion. Even when they initially considered leaving Peddi out of the controversy, producers reportedly asked them to implement the system for another upcoming big film instead or requested three more weeks of time.

Frustrated with the delays, the Telangana exhibitors have now decided that Peddi will also run only on the percentage system in the state.

Peddi Not Exempt from Percentage System Dispute

Interestingly, there were earlier reports suggesting that Peddi had been kept away from the percentage-sharing issue. However, with the latest statements from the exhibitors, it has become clear that the film is very much part of the ongoing dispute.

The percentage-sharing model has already been implemented in 23 Telangana theatres since early April, with producers like Mythri's Ravi Shankar opposing the sudden shift.

The final percentage terms for Peddi, however, are yet to be decided by the producers. The standoff continues as both parties hold firm on their positions.
