Cricketer Suresh Raina Steps into Tamil Cinema

The connection between cricket and movies has always been an everlasting one in India. The IPL has made it more strong, as Tamil cinema fans love their franchise, Chennai Super Kings. The link now has a local touch as Cricketer Suresh Raina steps into Tamil Cinema.

The fans of the Chennai Super Kings team and Tamil cinema lovers are delighted as former Indian cricketer and Chennai Super Kings’s dearly loved Chinna Thala Suresh Raina debuts as an actor.

The Tamil film will be directed by director Logan. The social media users got excited as cricketer Suresh Raina stepped into Tamil cinema.

The film, which will be based on cricket, is to be produced by producer Saravana Kumar, whose production house called Dream Knight Stories (DKS) was officially launched on Friday evening in Chennai.

Cricketer Shivam Dube, who plays for the Chennai Super Kings, officially unveiled the name of the production house and its logo.

Suresh Raina, who was in Amsterdam with his family on a holiday, joined the event through a video call and said he wanted to be at the event but could not make it as he had been informed a little late.

No Weekend Push for Kannappa

Vishnu Manchu’s Kannappa was released in theaters last week amidst decent buzz; it had a good day 1 at the box office. However, the trend went downward with each day, and even on the weekend, there is no push for Kannappa.

As said above, the film had a decent opening and saw a drop on the 1st weekend. Thereafter, it completely dropped on weekdays, and the film has collected around 17 Cr share till now.

Manchu Vishnu’s Kannappa fails to show any growth on the second weekend

Yesterday, Nithiin’s Thammudu was released and received a negative response, so the trade expected that the devotional movie would take advantage of it.

However, even on the weekend, there is no push for Vishnu Manchu’s Kannappa. Most likely this weekend will be the closing for the film, with the final share being under 20 Cr. 

This is Manchu Vishnu’s career’s highest-grossing film, but considering the budget and stars involved in it, the Kannappa movie will end as a box-office failure.

July 4-7: Not a Box Office Weekend, But a Binge Weekend

This weekend Nithiin’s Thammudu was released in theaters and failed on the opening day itself. But the audiences have a lot more options on OTT, as Keerthy Suresh’s Uppu Kappurambu, Thug Life, and more content are available for a binge weekend. 

Besides Thammuud, Siddharth and Sarath Kumar’s 3BHK was also released in theaters, but it seems Telugu audiences do not have an interest in this, and WOM/reviews are average, which is not enough.

July 4-7: Uppu Kappurabu, AIR, Thug Life, and more content available on OTT

That makes this weekend not a box office outing but a binge weekend with the latest multiple arrivals on OTT.

Keerthy Suresh’s Uppu Kappurambu, Thug Life, and more content are available for a binge weekend for the viewers. After a disastrous result at the theaters, Kamal and Mani’s Thug Life is streaming on Netflix.

AIR [All India Rankers] Web Series, starring Court fame Harsh Roshan, is now streaming on ETV WIN. Keerthy Suresh and Suhas’s Uppu Kappurambu [Web Series] is streaming on Prime Video.

Narne Nithin’s Sri Sri Raja Vaaru is streaming on Prime Video. Priyamani’s Good Wife [Web Series] is streaming on Jio Hotstar, while Abhishek Bachchan’s Kaalidhr Laapata is streaming on Zee5.

Jagamerigina Satyam is streaming on Sun NXT, and The Hunt, based on Rajiv Gandhi’s assassination, is streaming on Sony Liv.

Just Like That Season 3 is streaming on Jio Hotstar. The Old Guard 2, an American superhero movie, is streaming on Netflix along with Spin Me Round, an American dark comedy.

Thammudu an Outright Disaster

Nithiin’s latest film, Thammudu, was released in theaters yesterday amidst poor buzz, and it received a unanimous negative response from audiences and critics. Thammudu becomes an outright disaster on its first day itself.

The producer of the film, Dil Raju, mentioned that it was made with a budget of 75 Cr. Sriram Venu is the director of the film. Even with such a decent combination, the film could not create even minimum buzz before release.

Thammudu Box Office: Disastrous Start

The film’s morning shows opened with unanimous bad reviews and WOM. With this, the collections dropped with each show, and even the 2nd show collections were not good.

The continuous failures are affecting Nithin’s films a lot, as the openings are decreasing with each film. This action drama opened with less than a 1 Cr share in Telugu states, which says how bad it is, and there is no sign of improvement.

Nithiin’s Thammudu becomes an outright disaster on its first day. The film’s theatrical breakeven is 25 Cr, and looking at the current scenario, even recovering 15% from the pre-business is also very tough for the film.

Metro In Dino Movie Review: A Decent Musical Love Drama With Few Flaws

Movie Name: Metro In Dino
Rating: 2.75/5
Cast: Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Konkona Sen Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Ali Fazal, and Fatima Sana Shaikh
Director: Anurag Basu
Produced By: Bhushan Kumar, Krishna Kumar
Release Date: 4th July 2025

Metro In Dino, directed by Anurag Basu, brings to life a musical romantic drama filled with the heartfelt experiences of today’s couples. All four narratives will link together at some point in the movie. The four tales take place in Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, and Bangalore.

Story:

The movie follows three couples at different stages of life, each dealing with their own struggles in various Indian cities. 

Performances:

Aditya Roy Kapur and Sara Ali Khan pull off their eccentric characters like pros. Anupam Kher and Neena Gupta totally nail their roles, and Pankaj Tripathi brings his usual convincing performance. 

Ali Fazal and Fatima Sana Shaikh are perfect, and they excel in the intense/emotional scenes. Konkona Sen Sharma shines in this role; it’s like a walk in the park for her. Pranay Pachauri, Kush Jotwani, Saswata Chatterjee, and Darshana Banik fit the bill. 

Analysis:

Anurag Basu’s Metro… In Dino shows the lives of three couples, and it concentrates on mainly seven characters. 

Monty (Pankaj Tripathi) and Kajol (Konkona Sen Sharma) are a middle-aged couple, while Chamki (Sara Ali Khan) and Parth (Aditya Roy Kapur) represent the younger generation.

Akash (Ali Fazal) and Shruti (Fatima Sana Shaikh) hit a rough spot after their beautiful wedding. Shibani (Neena Gupta) is on a journey of self-discovery after spending 40 years married to her husband (Saswata Chatterjee), while Parimal (Anupam Kher), a widower, just wants to make his daughter-in-law happy, who also is a widow. 

Written by Basu, with Samrat Chakraborty and Sandeep Shrivastava helping him on dialogues, Metro… In Dino is a musical love drama. It points out that imperfections make men human, and that helps us connect with them. 

The movie runs a little long since it takes its time to unfold the stories. The first half has a fun feel as it sets up all the characters and their storylines. The graph spikes when a hilarious social media feud between Monty and Kajol nearly wrecks their marriage. Moreover, the unexpected but unavoidable confrontation between same Akash and Shruti which further breaks their friendship with Parth.

The second half gets a bit lengthy as it goes into the path of over indulgence for a while. Again, the dynamic between Monty and Kajol works here along with the patch up of Akash and Shruti.

Chamki and Parth keep a playful vibe, but Shibani’s self-discovery and school reunion trip appear slow.

It can feel a little boring at points, but the climax nails it with all the pairs uncovering their truths and tackling their troubles. The music fits perfectly with the movie and plays a key role in telling the story. 

Positives:

  • Performances
  • Music
  • Heartfelt Scenes/Dialogues

Negatives:

  • Few Unexplained Scenes
  • Too Slow at times
  • Dragged Scenes in Second Half

Metro In Dino Movie Review and Verdict:

Metro… In Dino might have its issues, but it genuinely tries to share stories where love and hope shine through. The authentic acting, lovable scenes, and moving tunes definitely help it out, but the drawn-out storytelling and redundancy drag it down.
