No Impact from Avatar 3: Dhurandhar Holds Strong

Not only Telugu Films, but even the other language films also feared the impact of James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire and Ash, including the latest Bollywood blockbuster, Dhurandhar. But Ranveer Singh starrer continues to hold strong at the box office despite facing the competition from the Hollywood biggie. 

Dhurandhar, the sensational blockbuster hit of the year, rewriting box office records, creates a big record for the 2nd week. In 2 weeks, the film has collected 440 Cr net in India and 680 Cr worldwide gross as per box office tracking websites. The official reporting numbers are a bit high.

As Pushpa 2 is the biggest Hindi net film in India with 730 Cr net, Dhrundhar needs another 300 Cr from now onwards to surpass that, and there were some doubts about whether it would be possible, as Avatar 3 is releasing today.

But Avatar 3 fails to shake Dhurandhar, as the film holds the record for the 3rd Friday for any Hindi film with 20Cr+ nett estimates, and with this, the film is all set to create the biggest 3rd weekend and 3rd week records. In the next 2 weeks, the film will have the advantage of Christamas and New Year holidays.

Now it’s sure that the film is on track to beat Pushpa 2, with high chances to score over 750 Cr Hindi net in India. Today, the film will cross the 700 Cr gross mark worldwide.

Avatar: Fire and Ash Movie Review – Outstanding Visuals – Average Narrative

Movie Name: Avatar: Fire and Ash
Rating: 2.75/5
Director: James Cameron
Produced By: James Cameron and Jon Landau
Release Date: 13th December 2025

Avatar: Fire and Ash is an epic science fiction film directed by James Cameron. The first two parts of the series, Avatar (2009) and Avatar: The Way of the Water (2022) where big hits globally, and Indian audiences also loved them. Now, let us find out how the third film from the franchise has been shaped up in the following review.

Story:

After the events of Avatar: The Way of Water, Jake Sully, also known as Toruk Makto (Sam Worthington), and his family are still struggling to recover from a painful past. Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña) continues to grieve the loss of her son, Neteyam. Jake, Neytiri, and their children, Kiri (Sigourney Weaver), Lo’ak (Britain Dalton), and Tuktirey, also called Tuk (Trinity Jo-Li Bliss), along with Spider (Jack Champion), are once again hunted by Colonel Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang). Quaritch seeks revenge against Jake and joins forces with the Mangkwan clan. What follows forms the core of the story.

Analysis:

Known for his breathtaking visuals and emotional impact, James Cameron once again showcases his technical brilliance. Several sequences stand out, including the first attack on Jake and his team, Jake’s escape from the RDA, and the grand climax involving Jake’s family, the Metkayina clan, the Sky People, the Mangkwan clan, and the massive Tulkuns. These scenes are visually stunning and supported by powerful sound design, creating an immersive experience.

The emotional moments involving Jake’s family are handled well. The bond between Lo’ak and the Tulkun is also portrayed touchingly and effectively.

But, Avatar: Fire and Ash suffers from a major drawback: its story closely resembles that of Avatar 2. After exploring the water-based world in the previous film, James Cameron could have focused more deeply on the Fire theme and the darker world of the Mangkwan clan. Due to the predictable storyline, the film lacks the much-needed wow factor.

Positives:

  • Outstanding Visuals/VFX
  • Crucial Emotional Scenes
  • Action Sequences in the Second Half

Negatives:

  • Predictable and Repetitive Storyline
  • Fire Theme Underutilized
  • Missing the Wow or Exciting Feel

Avatar 3 Review and Verdict:

Overall, Avatar: Fire and Ash can be watched for its stunning visuals, well-executed emotional scenes, engaging action sequences, and high-quality VFX. However, the predictable plot and lack of freshness reduce its overall impact.

Sivakarthikeyan Shocks Vijay

Sivakarthikeyan Shocks Vijay

For Pongal 2026, Tamil cinema is gearing up for a big festival season. Vijay’s Jana Nayagan was officially announced for release on 9th January, while Sivakarthikeyan’s Parasakthi was scheduled for 14th January. So, everyone thought that Vijay’s film would have a long solo run, with the advantage of enjoying a big weekend and strong theater count for nearly five days.

But the latest buzz is that Parasakthi may prepone its release to 10th January. If this happens, it will be a major setback for the Jana Nayagan team, as they will have to split screens and compete with Parasakthi from the second day itself.

Pongal 2026: An Interesting Clash Between Jana Nayagan and Parasakthi

Between the two, Jana Nayagan is expected to be the first choice for Tamil audiences, thanks to Vijay’s massive stardom, and it is also considered his last movie. But word of mouth can change everything. Parasakthi is already carrying strong positive buzz for its plot and the cast involved, while Jana Nayagan is relying mainly on Vijay’s star power. The promotional content for Jana Nayagan has not created a big impact so far.

Adding to the competition, the Tamil version of The Raja Saab is also releasing on 10th January, which will further divide screens. Pongal 2026 is shaping up to be one of the most competitive festival seasons in recent years.

Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi Teaser: A New Role For Ravi Teja

Directed by Kishore Tirumala, the film features Ashika Ranganathan and Dimple Hayathi as the female leads, while Vennela Kishore, Muralidhar Goud, Sunil, and Satya appear in supporting roles.

Padayappa Falls Short of Ghilli in Re-Release Battle

The recent re-release of Rajinikanth’s Padayappa received a solid response from Tamil Cinema fans, and it also helped theater owners with decent footfalls, as there were no new films at that time. However, Padayappa failed to surpass Ghilli in re-release collections. 

Rereleases usually perform well only on their opening day, and very few films manage to sustain collections for several days. Crossing a double-digit gross in re-releases itself is a big achievement. Vijay’s Ghilli set a sensational record by collecting more than ₹30 crore worldwide in its rerelease, a feat matched in South India only by Baahubali: The Beginning.

Superstar Rajinikanth’s Padayappa was rereleased on his birthday, December 12, and the film collected around ₹15 crore worldwide in its first week. These numbers are considered blockbuster-level for a rerelease. However, the film is still short of beating Ghilli’s record in Kollywood.

Industry sources expect Padayappa to finish its full run with around ₹20 crore gross, making it one of the most successful re-releases in Tamil cinema history, even if it doesn’t surpass Ghilli.
