Dulquer Salmaan’s latest release I’m Game recorded an average opening weekend at the box office, with the film collecting approximately ₹39 Cr gross worldwide. With no substantial improvement in collections on Day 2, the I’m Game box office performance fell short of expectations, witnessing a steady decline instead of the typical weekend growth.
Audience Talk Impacts Numbers
The film did not receive unanimous positive talk from audiences, which reflected directly in the collections. Instead of weekend growth, I’m Game witnessed a declining trend across its opening days.
India Box Office Collections
I’m Game box office collections in India stood at ₹19.70 Cr tracked gross in 4 days, while the actual numbers are estimated at around ₹22 Cr. The film failed to capitalize on the weekend advantage, with numbers showing consistent decline.

Kerala Circuit Performance
At the current trend, the film might not cross the ₹25 Cr mark in Kerala, which would be very poor box office performance for a Dulquer Salmaan starrer in his home market. The coming weekdays will be crucial in determining whether I’m Game can sustain at the box office or settle for a below-average theatrical run.
Sumanth Prabhas and Ananthika Sanilkumar’sRomanchakam had a decent 1st weekend at the box office, performing fairly better than initial expectations. The brand name of Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who presented the film, has worked well, and the comedy also seems to have clicked with a section of audiences.

Performance Analysis
However, had the content connected strongly with audiences, Romanchakam could have achieved much bigger numbers at the box office. It certainly missed out on scoring big numbers despite the advantage of Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s brand backing and decent comedic moments that resonated with viewers.
Ravi Teja and Shiva Nirvana’sIrumudi completed a solid third weekend at the box office, maintaining its momentum despite the expected drop from the second weekend. The film minted around ₹17 Cr gross this weekend, taking its 17-day worldwide collection to ₹217 Cr.
Irumudi Third Weekend Performance
The film’s third weekend performance shows a healthy hold in the Telugu states, where it continues to drive the bulk of collections. The 17-day all-India tracked gross stands at ₹171 Cr, while the actuals are around ₹195 Cr. This gap between tracked and actual collections is common for Telugu films, as smaller centers often report delayed or estimated numbers.
Including overseas markets, Irumudi’s 17-day worldwide gross is estimated at ₹217 Cr, marking it as one of Ravi Teja’s stronger recent outings. The film has found particular success in the Telugu-speaking regions, where the actor’s fanbase remains strong.
Territory-Wise Collections Breakup
After the third weekend, Irumudi’s actual collections stand as follows:

The Telugu states contribute over 80% of the film’s total gross, showcasing Ravi Teja’s dominance in his home markets. Karnataka and overseas circuits have provided decent support, while the rest of India remains a limited market for the film.
Road to ₹250 Cr Club
With ₹217 Cr already in the bank, Irumudi’s next target is joining the ₹250 Cr club worldwide. The film needs another ₹33 Cr to achieve this milestone, which is achievable if it maintains steady weekday numbers and benefits from the upcoming Vinayaka Chavithi holiday next week.
The festive holiday could provide a much-needed boost to the film’s box office run, especially in the Telugu states where family audiences typically turn out in higher numbers during festival periods. How the film performs in its fourth week will determine whether it can reach the ₹250 Cr landmark before completing its theatrical run.
Mirzapur: The Movie has delivered a superb first weekend at the box office, crossing ₹111 Cr tracked gross in just 3 days. The film has surpassed all trade expectations and is now set to become a blockbuster.

Monday ticket sales have started on a positive note, indicating strong weekday hold potential.
Allari Naresh returned to his signature comedy roots this Friday with the fantasy entertainer, Ramba Oorvasi Menaka. Following a decent first weekend run, trade circles now have a clear picture of its financial trajectory. Consequently, we have compiled the film’s official budget, weekend box office collection, theatrical breakeven targets, and the final “hit or flop” verdict.
Ramba Oorvasi Menaka Budget & Pre-Release Business

First Weekend Worldwide Collection Breakdown
During its opening three days, the film demonstrated slight box office growth. Specifically, Day 3 (Sunday) emerged as the best-performing day, surpassing the opening Friday numbers. Overall, the movie delivered a noticeably better weekend performance compared to Allari Naresh’s recent outings.
Here is the consolidated 3-day worldwide weekend box office summary:

Hit or Flop Verdict?
To achieve a clean “Hit” status, Ramba Oorvasi Menaka must cross the ₹10 Crore gross mark worldwide. Currently, the film has recovered roughly 35% of its theatrical target by collecting ₹3.50 Crore globally in its first weekend. Unfortunately, it still needs an additional ₹6.50 Crore during the weekdays to break even. Because heavy weekday drops are inevitable, trade experts predict the film will struggle to chase down the breakeven mark, likely heading toward a FLOP verdict theatrically.
OTT Release Partner Locked
Despite the theatrical struggles, the producers secured a very safe digital release deal. Industry sources firmly report that Amazon Prime Video acquired the Ramba Oorvasi Menaka OTT streaming rights for a highly decent price. Consequently, this lucrative pre-release OTT deal heavily offsets the production costs, leaving the makers in a safe zone financially.

Director Srikanth Odela and his team now need to deliver on the promise. The decisions and calls have been changing constantly over the past few weeks, but the team is expected to provide a final confirmation in the next 2–3 days. It remains to be seen if they can pull off the September 24 release.

However, glowing word-of-mouth eventually sparked an insane turnaround. By Week 3, audiences began flooding the theaters. As a result, the film registered a massive 2,174% weekly jump. Therefore, the movie evolved from a potential disaster into an unstoppable box office juggernaut.

On Day 30 (Saturday, September 5), the film collected a staggering ₹20.35 Crore from 6,925 shows. Notably, this represented a massive 70.2% jump from the previous day’s collection of ₹11.96 Crore (Day 29). Moreover, the film maintained a brilliant 58.3% average occupancy on Saturday.

As a result, Hanuman Ansh has successfully reached the ₹150 Crore milestone (~₹149.27 Crore) in All-India tracked gross. Indeed, scoring consecutive ₹20 Crore+ days in the fifth weekend is an absolute rarity in modern cinema.
The anticipation surrounding Mahesh Babu and SS Rajamouli‘s upcoming epic Varanasi needs no introduction. However, the master director’s latest revelation about the film has sent expectations soaring even higher among fans and moviegoers.
Speaking about the project, Rajamouli recently unveiled what lies at the heart of Varanasi—describing it as a hard-core spectacle built on a powerful emotional foundation.
«”Varanasi is a hard-core spectacle with emotion as its base.”»
According to the director, the film will masterfully blend the bond between a father and son, the intensity of love, and the grandeur of a larger-than-life cinematic experience. This emotional core driving the narrative promises to elevate the visual spectacle to new heights.
A Globe-Trotting Epic Across Seven Nations
Varanasi is being mounted on an unprecedented international scale. Industry reports suggest the film’s narrative will span seven countries, multiple continents, and different time periods—ranging from ancient civilizations to the modern era.
As the title indicates, the sacred city of Varanasi in India is expected to play a crucial narrative role. The production will also feature major sequences shot in extreme locations including the icy landscapes of Antarctica and the vast terrains of Africa, adding to its massive global canvas.
Stellar Cast and Global Ambitions
Leading the charge is Superstar Mahesh Babu in what promises to be one of his most challenging roles yet. Joining him are international star Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Malayalam superstar Prithviraj Sukumaran in pivotal roles, making this a truly pan-Indian ensemble.
With Rajamouli’s track record of delivering globally successful spectacles and this star-studded lineup, Varanasi is positioned to be one of the biggest Indian films on the world stage.
The film is currently slated for a worldwide theatrical release on April 7, 2027.
Bethlehem Kudumba Unit is still rocking at the box office with unprecedented momentum, as its 3rd Saturday collections match its opening Saturday — a rare feat in Indian cinema. The Nivin Pauly starrer has exceeded all expectations, emerging as one of the biggest blockbusters of Malayalam cinema in 2026.
Box Office Performance Breakdown
The film’s box office run remains exceptional across all territories. Here’s the detailed breakdown as of 16 days:
Territory
Gross Collection
All India (Tracked)
₹122.91 Cr
All India (Actuals)
₹135 Cr (estimated)
Kerala
₹111 Cr
Worldwide
₹255 Cr+
The numbers reveal a phenomenal hold, with Bethlehem Kudumba Unit rocking theatres even in its third week. The sustained momentum on its 3rd Saturday — matching the 1st Saturday gross across India — demonstrates exceptional word-of-mouth and repeat viewership.
Path to All-Time Records
Bethlehem Kudumba Unit's impressive box office trend has put it on track to achieve multiple milestones. In Kerala, the film is just ₹20 Cr away from the ₹130 Cr mark needed to achieve industry hit status — a target that looks increasingly certain given the current trend.
The worldwide gross has already crossed ₹255 Cr, and with sustained holds, the film is certain to cross the ₹300 Cr milestone and emerge as the all-time highest grosser of Malayalam Cinema. This would be a historic achievement for director Girish A. D., who previously delivered the blockbuster Premalu.
The Onam 2026 box office battle saw Bethlehem Kudumba Unit dominate its competitors, establishing itself as the festival’s biggest winner.
Telugu Version Adds to Success
Bethlehem Kudumba Unit’s Telugu version is also showing growth, contributing to the film’s already impressive pan-Indian performance. The dubbed version has found strong acceptance among Telugu audiences, helping the film expand its reach beyond Kerala.
With Nivin Pauly and Mamitha Baiju leading the cast, this romantic comedy from Girish A. D. has struck a chord with audiences across demographics, proving that quality content transcends regional boundaries.
