The Girlfriend 1st weekend Box Office Collections

0

Rashmika’s The Girlfriend started very slowly but picked up very well at the box office with a good jump by each show in collections. The film’s day 3 box office collections are bigger than day 2, which itself is much bigger than opening day. This is a very positive sign for the film.

The film started with close to 3 Cr gross on opening day, including premieres, and overall, The Girlfriend collected around 11 Cr gross at the box office in its opening weekend, which is a solid total considering the film’s genre. The makers are already in a comfortable position with non-theatrical business, and they will see profits with these theatrical numbers.

The producers and trade expect the film to have a proper long run in theaters, and if the film holds well, it has a chance to collect around 25 Cr gross in its full run.

Sai Srinivas, who entered Bigg Boss Telugu 9 as a wild-card contestant, was eliminated last weekend after receiving the fewest votes among all housemates. With his exit, the Week 10 nominations in Bigg Boss have become more interesting, especially due to the absence of top contenders.

On nomination day, Bharani, Sanjana, Ritu, Divya, Nikhil, and Gaurav were nominated for eviction. The 10th week battle in Bigg Boss Telugu 9 is tough to predict, with popular contestants like Thanuja, Emanuel, Kalyan, Suman Setty, and Pavan safe from nominations: the voting dynamics could shift.

It remains to be seen which nominated contestant will benefit from the vote bank of the top players, making this week’s eviction round one of the most unpredictable yet. With each passing week, the BB team is making sure that the viewers are interested in watching the show, with introducing new twists and turns.

Shriya shared that Non-Violence addresses an important social issue and praised the way it’s been filmed. She recalled working with Ananda Krishnan during his time as an assistant director on Kanthaswamy, saying, “It’s a lovely feeling to be associated with him again.”

Director Ananda Krishnan, known for Metro and Kodiyil Oruvan, explained that the song is set in 1990s Madurai and adds a meaningful layer to the film. “Since the lyrics carry a strong message, we wanted someone like Shriya Saran, who is well-known and respected, to help the words reach the audience,” he said.

After two consecutive blockbusters like Love Today and Dragon, this movie became the 3rd 100 Cr grosser for Pradeep Ranganathan, and it did very well till the Diwali holidays, maintaining a superb lead over the other Diwali releases, but later saw a drop in collections.

In Tamil Nadu, Bison took the lead over Pradeep’s film, while in Telugu, K-Ramp took the lead. But with a super-strong 1st week with Diwali holidays and an excellent opening advantage, the film successfully crossed 100 Cr. Everyone expected it would surpass the collections of Dragon easily, but it did not reach there due to a drop in numbers. 

After a decent theatrical run, Pradeep Ranganathan’s Dude arrives on Netflix on 14th November, and we need to see how it works for OTT audiences. The film will be available for streaming in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam languages.

Fans Urge: Wake Up Team Raja Saab

0

The Raja Saab Makers have kept disappointing fans right from the start. They have continuously postponed the film’s theatrical release, resulting in Prabhas’s zero releases this year, and they are doing the same even with the promotions.

When there were doubts about the film arriving in theaters on 5th December, the team kept saying that everything is ready and there is no delay in works, but distributors and even fans wanted it to arrive on Sankranthi, so the horror comedy’s release was moved to Sankranthi and was announced for a 9th January, 2026 release. 

Prabhas Fans get frustrated with the delay in The Raja Saab Promotions

It’s less than two months for release, but still, no songs have been released from the film, and the makers announced the 1st single for Prabhas’ birthday, but they postponed it to the first week of November, and still, there is no update about it, which is hurting the fans. 

There is always a buzz about movie postponement in the industry and distributors’ circles, but the producer condemns the rumors and officially releases a letter regarding the confusion.

But these postponements in updates put a question even in fans’ minds about whether the film will arrive for Sankranthi or not. Fans are questioning the makers of The Raja Saab, and they are trending hashtags like #WakeupTeamRajasaab. Now the hashtag is trending on the ‘X’ platform. We need to wait and see whether makers respond to the criticism and come up with updates.

Akhanda 2 Overseas Rights Sold for Record Price

0

Balakrishna and Boyapati Srinu’s upcoming film Akhanda 2 is creating a strong buzz in all territories, including overseas, where both the actor and director have traditionally had limited reach due to their focus on high-energy mass entertainers. However, Akhanda changed that perception by blending commercial elements with spiritual/divine themes, which connected well with a wider audience.

Now, Akhanda 2 is continuing that momentum. The film’s overseas theatrical rights have reportedly been sold for ₹15 crore, a record for both Balakrishna and Boyapati. To break even, the film needs to collect around $3.75 million from international markets. The overseas rights have been acquired by Moksha MoviesSree Vaishnavi Entertainments, and Cinegalaxy.

This is the highest overseas business ever for a Balakrishna or Boyapati film, and similar massive deals have been closed in other regions as well. Distributors believe Akhanda 2 could elevate both the actor and director to a new level of pan-Indian popularity.

Buyers are also hopeful that the Hindi version of the film will contribute significantly to the overall overseas revenue.

On the promotions front, the team is gearing up for an aggressive campaign starting this week. The first single, titled “The Thaandavam,” is scheduled to be released on November 14, kicking off the musical promotions in a grand way.
