0

Legendary actor Rajinikanth has once again set out on a soul-searching journey to the Himalayas. Currently staying at an ashram in Rishikesh, he is expected to travel to Badrinath tomorrow, followed by a visit to the sacred Baba’s Cave. 

Known for seeking peace and clarity in the mountains, Rajinikanth often takes time off from his busy schedule to reconnect with his spiritual side and visits the Himalayas.

Earlier this August, Rajinikanth released Coolie, which received mixed reactions from critics and audiences. Despite the divided opinions, the film stormed the box office and collected a massive ₹500 crore globally. 

Photos of the superstar at the Rishikesh ashram and on his spiritual trail have gone viral, sparking fan admiration and even light-hearted jokes online, which were aimed at director Nelson, as Rajini’s frequent breaks from shooting continue to stir chatter.

His next big release, Jailer 2, is slated for June 2026. Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar with music by Anirudh Ravichander, the film boasts a massive ensemble cast from across Indian cinema.

Idli Kadai – 100 Cr Out of Reach

0

Dhanush came up before audiences with his latest directorial, Idli Kadai, in which he also acted as the lead. The film received a unanimous negative reaction in Telugu, but it had a decent response in Tamil. However, reaching the 100 Cr mark looks out of reach for Idli Kadai. 

The film’s Telugu version, Idli Kottu, crashed on opening day itself, and excluding Tamil Nadu, the other Tamil territories are also not performing well for the film. In 4 days the film has collected 31 Cr gross in Tamil Nadu, and worldwide gross will be around 42 Cr.

With today’s numbers, the Dhanush directorial gross will be around 50 Cr worldwide, and as other territories are not seeing big numbers already, the film is also facing competition from Kantara Chapter 1, which is dominating it in Tamil Nadu. 

So, Idli Kadi getting the 100 Cr number looks tough, and the chances of it posting strong numbers from tomorrow are less. Even if it has a good run at the box office, it can manage to go in the 75-80 Cr range, and joining the 100 Cr club is completely out of the question.

Dhanush’s previous directorial, Raayan, in which he played the lead role, has collected 150 Cr gross due to strong performance from all territories, but Idli Kadai is likely to collect just 1/2 of Raayan’s full run collections.

Rishab Shetty’s Kantara Chapter 1 is showing remarkable consistency at the box office, enjoying a strong weekend, particularly in the Telugu states. It has already surpassed 50 Cr in just 4 days and is steadily heading toward the 100 Cr gross mark.

The spiritual action drama is trending massively across big centers and mass centers in the Telugu States, with an especially phenomenal response in the mass centers.

Kantara Chapter 1 Telugu Box Office: 50 Cr Gross reached and onwards to 100 Cr Gross

In all 4 days of the 1st weekend, the film posted a double-digit gross collection, which is a fantastic trend. Today, Kantara Chapter 1 joins the 50 Cr gross club in Telugu states, and it will reach 55 Cr by the end of the day. 

The film is likely to maintain stable collections during weekdays, helping it target the 100 Cr milestone. Kantara’s first installment collected 60 Cr gross in its entire run, and the prequel is set to surpass this figure by tomorrow.

KGF 2 collected 150 Cr gross in its full run in Telugu states, and the prequel of Kantara may not go near that number, but it definitely needs to cross 100 Cr for the movie’s business.
