Mythri Bags Big Profits from Pradeep Ranganathan’s Dude

Mythri gave an advance to Pradeep Ranganathan immediately after Love Today’s release. After Dragon, Pradeep Ranganathan became an even bigger star. However, he had already committed to doing a film for Mythri at an earlier agreed remuneration.

Pradeep went ahead with a reasonable remuneration. It was Sai Abhayankar’s first major project and directed by debutant Keerthiswaran. Made on a modest budget of around ₹35 crore, the film had a regular love story backdrop and was completed as per the planned schedule.

The film’s digital rights were bagged by Netflix for ₹25 crore. With audio and satellite rights included, the budget was completely recovered through non-theatrical deals alone.The makers are releasing the film on their own in all territories with recoverable advances. Both Love Today and Dragon collected over ₹100 crore gross, and the team is confident that Dude will be the biggest grosser in Pradeep Ranganathan’s career.

All theatrical collections will be direct profits for the producers. In any case, the movie is expected to easily earn over ₹50 crore share, and with positive word of mouth, it could even go up to ₹75 crore—bringing massive returns for Mythri Movies.

No Rajinikanth vs NTR Clash in 2026

NTR’s War 2 and Rajinikanth’s Coolie clashed during the Independence weekend this year. Coolie emerged as an average grosser, while War 2 turned out to be a disaster. In comparison, Coolie became the clear winner in this box office race.

A major clash was expected again in 2026, as NTR–Prashanth Neel’s Dragon was announced for a June 25, 2026 release, while Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2 was also planned for the same period, as officially confirmed by Rajinikanth himself.

However, in recent days, there has been buzz that Dragon might be postponed to late 2026 or early 2027 due to shooting delays. Now, the producers — Mythri Movie Makers — have clarified during Dude movie promotions that Dragon is aiming for an end-of-2026 release, assuring that it will definitely arrive within 2026. With this update, there will be no Rajinikanth vs NTR clash in 2026.

The postponement of Dragon is a big advantage for Jailer 2, as it can now target a massive solo release across all languages, with no other major film scheduled during that period.

Official OTT Update for Lokah Drops – Streaming Date Buzz

Now even the biggest-budget films are arriving on OTT within 4 weeks. But the Lokah team didn’t close the OTT deal earlier, as they had huge confidence in the film’s content. They intentionally decided to finalize the OTT deal only after the movie’s release.
The film released and not only became a blockbuster — it turned out to be an industry hit, setting a new milestone as the first 300 Cr grosser for Mollywood.


After the massive success, the makers received offers from all major OTT platforms. Initially, there was a buzz that Netflix had acquired the rights, followed by reports suggesting that Hotstar had bagged the deal. Finally, an official update has arrived — Hotstar has confirmed that Lokah: Chapter 1 will be streaming soon.

As per the latest buzz, there are two possible streaming dates — October 17th and October 23rd. However, it is highly likely that the film will premiere on October 23rd in all languages.


As it is a five-part franchise film, the OTT response also plays a crucial role. The movie needs to reach audiences across all languages in a big way, as that will directly impact the craze for the second part. The second part has already been announced, starring Tovino Thomas in the lead, and it is expected to go on floors in the first half of 2026.

Pradeep Ranganathan Eyes Hat-trick of 100 Cr Grossers with Dude

Pradeep Ranganathan is the latest sensation from Kollywood, delivering massive blockbusters at the box office. Not just in Tamil, but his films are performing exceptionally well in Telugu too.

With Love Today, Pradeep Ranganathan entered the 100 Cr club. He followed it up with Dragon, scoring back-to-back 100 Cr hits and also joining the 150 Cr club. His next film, Dude, is releasing this weekend, and Pradeep is aiming for a hat-trick of 100 Cr grossers with this one.

Dude is carrying strong buzz in both Tamil and Telugu. With Mythri Movie Makers backing the project, the team has put in major efforts for Telugu promotions. Among the Diwali releases, trade circles are expecting Dude to take the biggest openings.

The rights of Dude have also been sold at record prices for a Pradeep Ranganathan film. To achieve hit status, the film needs to gross over 100 Cr. Even stars like Sivakarthikeyan, Dhanush, and Karthi haven’t scored a hat-trick of 100 Cr films yet. If Pradeep Ranganathan achieves it with Dude, his range will rise to the next level

Kantara Chapter 1 Becomes 2nd Biggest Dubbed Grosser in Telugu States

Kantara Chapter 1 has collected around ₹90 Cr gross so far in the Telugu states. With this, the film has surpassed Rajinikanth’s biggest grossers in Telugu states like 2.0 and Jailer, becoming the second biggest dubbed grosser.

With this, the Top 2 dubbed grossers in Telugu states are both Kannada films — KGF 2, which collected around ₹150 Cr gross, and Kantara Chapter 1. Kantara Chapter 1 is definitely expected to achieve ₹100 Cr gross in Telugu states and may end around ₹110 Cr gross.

The movie’s theatrical business was done on a recoverable basis by taking advances. For those advances, the film needs to collect around ₹140 Cr gross, which seems impossible. However, there is no risk for distributors as the deals were made on a recovery basis. Still, achieving ₹100 Cr gross in Telugu states is a big milestone.

If the film had released with a buzz similar to KGF 2, it could have easily reached the KGF 2 range in its full run as well.Overall, the film has collected over ₹650 crore gross worldwide in 13 days and is heading towards the ₹800 crore mark in its full run.

Prabhas’s ‘The Raja Saab’ Single Faces Heat from Chiranjeevi’s ‘Meesaala Pilla’ in Sankranthi Music Battle

Sankranthi box office race is shaping up to be the most interesting battle for both audiences and the industry. With multiple films lined up for Sankranthi, there is always a lot of comparison regarding the films’ business and promotional content before release. These comparisons also help all films, as audiences show great interest in them. This is the reason why, during festivals, not just one film but multiple films score huge revenues.

For this Sankranthi, the two main biggies releasing are Chiranjeevi’s Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Gaaru and Prabhas’s The Raja Saab. From The Raja Saab, the teaser and trailer are already out. The team released visual content before the audio to showcase the scale of the film, where Maruthi succeeded.

Now it’s Thaman’s turn to deliver a big chartbuster album. The team is currently shooting songs in foreign locations. The first single is set to release on Prabhas’s birthday, 23rd October. Normally, releasing a single from a big film comes with a lot of pressure because expectations are high. Due to Prabhas’s previous films not having much scope for commercial songs, audiences are expecting The Raja Saab to bring the mass Prabhas factor, which the team is promising consistently.Adding to this pressure, Bheems has created another challenge for Thaman by delivering the chartbuster Meesaala Pilla song in Chiranjeevi’s film. Since both films are releasing for Sankranthi, there will definitely be comparisons between the two songs. It will be interesting to see where Thaman’s first single for The Raja Saab stands in the comparisons.
