0

The overseas box office comparison between NTR’s Devara and Pawan Kalyan’s OG was pertinent right from the beginning. OG beats Devara in the Telugu version, but Devara leads the overall overseas collections.

Pawan Kalyan’s OG’s Total North America grossed $5.55M, whereas the Hindi version has just collected $42K. The Telugu version’s gross is close to $5.51M. With this, OG surpasses Devara’s Telugu version ($5.5M) at the North American box office.

They Call Him OG is the 7th biggest grosser for North America in Tollywood for the Telugu version. But if we compare all the languages, Devara has a clear lead over OG in America, as the Hindi version also contributed to the numbers of NTR-Koratala Film. 

Total Devara all languages North America gross stands at $6.07M, with the Hindi version contributing $562K and the Tamil version $15K, which takes the total overseas lead of the film to more than 1.5 million dollars over OG.

Devara’s total overseas collections are at 9 million, while OG’s overseas collections are close to 7.5M.

0

The announcement of Atlee and Allu Arjun’s massive-budgeted project has intrigued the fans across the world, and they cannot wait for the updates of the film. During his recent interaction with the media, Atlee says that even Hollywood technicians find it challenging to work for the film.

AA22XA6 is one of the most anticipated movies from Indian cinema, as it marks the next film of Allu Arjun after the massive Pan-Indian blockbuster, Pushpa 2, and the director, Atlee, is also coming fresh from a big blockbuster like Jawan, starring Shah Rukh Khan.

The Mersal director interacted with the media recently and said that his film with Allu Arjun is shaping up as an intriguing film with lots of things that audiences have not seen before, and he also said that the Hollywood technicians who are working for the film are finding it challenging to work on such ambitious ideas.

He also said that he is trying something new and addictive, and there is no bible or any blueprint for the things he is planning to do with AA22XA6, and he is so excited to bring it on and told the fans to wait at least a few months to deliver more from the film.

The film’s next update is likely to come in 2026, and it may be a glimpse on Allu Arjun’s birthday, and the film is all set to hit the screens in 2027.

Kantara Chapter 1 Crosses 500 Cr Worldwide

0

Kantara Chapter 1 joins the mighty 500 Cr Club on its 9th day at the box office. The 9th day, which is Friday, gives good momentum for the film on night shows and indicates a promising weekend. 

Another good thing for the film is that the 9th-day collections are slightly higher than the 8th-day collections. The spiritual drama made by Rishab Shetty, Kantara Chapter 1, also becomes the 2nd Kannada film to join the 500 Cr club after KGF2. 

If we look into the overall figures, the prequel of Kantara is the 4th film this year to join the 500 Cr club after Chhaava, Saiyaara, and Coolie. 

By tomorrow the film will surpass Coolie’s final collections, and by Sunday it is likely to cross Saiyaraa’s full run collections and will settle at the top 2.

To reach the top 1 position, the film needs a solid box office run, as Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava has collected 800 Cr gross worldwide, and we must wait to know whether Rishab Shetty’s film can go there.

Sasivadane Movie Review: A Thoughtful Yet Overstretched Love Story

0

Movie Name: Sasivadane
Rating: 2.5/5
Cast:
 Rakshit Atluri, Komalee Prasad, Sriman, Deepak Prince, and others
Director: Saimohan Ubbana
Produced By:
 Ahiteja Bellamkonda
Release Date: 10th October 2025

Starring Rakshit Atluri and Komalee Prasad in the lead roles, Sasivadane is the latest love story set against the backdrop of Konaseema. The film’s poster and promos have generated a good amount of interest among audiences. Let us find out what’s the film has in store in our review.

Story:

Sasivadane is set in the early 2000s in a village in the Godavari region. The story follows Raghava (Rakshit Atluri), a cheerful young graduate who lives with his father and best friend. His life takes a turn when he falls in love at first sight with Sasi (Komalee Prasad). She soon returns his feelings, and their love blossoms. However, their happiness is short-lived as Sasi’s brother-in-law (Deepak Prince), who has bad intentions and wants to marry her by force, becomes a major obstacle. The rest of the film shows how Raghava and Sasi fight against these challenges and whether their love survives.

Performances:

Rakshit Atluri delivers a decent performance, especially in emotional scenes. Komalee Prasad stands out with her screen presence and acting. Deepak Prince plays the villain well, though his character lacks depth. Sriman is adequate as Raghava’s father, the actor who appears as the hero’s friend and Jabardasth Bobby try to bring humor, though the comedy does not add much to the story. The supporting cast performs reasonably.

Analysis:

Director Saimohan Ubbana presents a routine love story and attempts to add intensity with a couple of twists in the second half. The first half begins in the present and shifts to a flashback, but the romantic track feels predictable. The visuals and music help the film a bit and try to contribute to the mood. 

While the second half has some emotional moments and father-son sentiment, the overall narrative lacks energy and fails to keep viewers fully engaged. The villain’s character is not convincingly threatening, and the emotional climax does not land as strongly as intended.

Positives:

  • Lead Pair’s Performance
  • Music/Visuals
  • A Few Crucial Dialogues/Emotional Scenes

Negatives:

  • Dragged Feel
  • Predictable Scenes
  • Lack of Strong Emotional Impact

Sasivadane Movie Review and Verdict:

Despite good performances from the lead pair and suitable songs/visuals, Sasivadane remains a regular love story that tries to be deep but does not quite succeed in its attempt.
