Sree Leela’s Stunning Single Shot Clears All Concerns

Item songs have always been a signature element in Sukumar’s films, often playing a pivotal role in their success. Samantha’s chart-topping song in Pushpa: The Rise set a new benchmark, contributing significantly to the film’s pan-Indian appeal.

With expectations soaring for Pushpa 2: The Rule, the makers explored various Bollywood actresses for an item number to match the grand scale of the sequel. However, after much consideration, they finalized Sreeleela for the song.

While Sreeleela has gained enormous fame in the South for her lively performances, several fans and reviewers initially believed that a Bollywood A-lister would have been a better fit for a pan-Indian project of this scope. There was some doubt about her ability to reproduce Samantha’s power and energy from the first installment.

However, a single shot of Sreeleela from the Pushpa 2 trailer was enough to put all doubts to rest. Her electrifying presence and striking look in the brief glimpse went viral across social media platforms, turning skeptics into believers.

Fans are now eagerly awaiting the release of the full item song to witness her chemistry with Allu Arjun and their high-energy dance moves. As Pushpa 2 approaches release, this viral moment has only fueled the anticipation for what is expected to be another record-breaking hit.

Matka: 1 Crore closing share

Varun Tej’s recent release Matka failed to generate any significant pre-release buzz, severely impacting its overall business potential. The lack of interest from distributors forced the producers to opt for an advance basis self-release strategy, putting immense pressure on the film to perform theatrically.

With a breakeven target of ₹20 crore, the film’s prospects looked bleak from the start, and the underwhelming word of mouth (WOM) further exacerbated the situation. Poor reviews and negligible audience turnout resulted in a dismal ₹1 crore share over its opening weekend, which now stands as the film’s closing figure.

The result marks Matka as a heavy loss-making venture for the producers, significantly denting their financial prospects.

This failure also casts a shadow over Varun Tej’s career. Following a string of disappointing outings, his theatrical market appears to be shrinking. Furthermore, with OTT platforms also showing reduced interest in acquiring films with weak performances, his viability as a bankable star is now in question.

Industry insiders suggest that producers might view future collaborations with Varun Tej as a risky proposition unless he manages to secure a compelling combination of director and script for his next project.

To regain audience trust and industry confidence, he must deliver a strong comeback film that can revive his declining market potential.

Chasing 1000 Cr: Kollywood’s Struggle Continues

Kollywood has long been one of India’s premier film industries, producing acclaimed stars and cinematic marvels. In the past, it was the primary competitor to Bollywood, showcasing its influence across India. However, in recent years, other regional industries like Tollywood and Sandalwood have expanded their markets significantly, delivering massive box-office successes.

Tollywood raised the bar with Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, the latter becoming the first regional film to gross over ₹1,000 crores worldwide. This legacy continued with blockbusters like RRR and the upcoming Kalki 2898 AD.

Similarly, Sandalwood stunned audiences with KGF: Chapter 1 and shattered records with KGF: Chapter 2, which also joined the 1,000-crore club. Films like Kantara are further poised to sustain this momentum. Meanwhile, Bollywood maintains its stronghold with several films crossing this benchmark.

In contrast, Kollywood has struggled to reach this milestone. Despite significant efforts, even anticipated pan-India projects like Indian 2 and Kanguva have failed to perform at the expected scale, facing critical and commercial setbacks. However, the industry’s hopes now rest on Coolie, the upcoming collaboration between superstar Rajinikanth and director Lokesh Kanagaraj.

For Coolie to succeed, it must adopt a robust pan-Indian strategy and target the lucrative Hindi-speaking belt. With Rajinikanth’s immense fanbase and Lokesh’s proven track record, the film has the potential to bridge Kollywood’s gap to the prestigious ₹1,000-crore club, if marketed and executed strategically.

There’s no doubt that Thalapathy 69 is the most awaited Kollywood movie of 2025.

The film is being planned for either Dasara/Diwali 2025. With Kantara prequel announced for Dasara Release, Thalapathy 69 may not go direct clash. Kantara Prequel will have a huge craze just like Baahubali2 , KGF2, Pushpa 2 in all languages.

This leaves us with Diwali which is a highly profitable season for Kollywood as we are observing with Sivakarthikeyan’s Amaran. On top of this Diwali 2025 falls on Thursday making it even for lucrative for Thalapathy 69 release.

Why Tollywood Isn’t Proud of Pushpa 2?

The debut of Baahubali and Baahubali 2 was a watershed point in the Tollywood industry, with the whole cinema community celebrating the films’ success as a joint accomplishment. The impact of Baahubali 2’s trailer release was clear, as industry experts praised its grandeur and size. Similarly, RRR, directed by S. S. Rajamouli, garnered overwhelming industry praise, with many celebrities applauding the film’s original storyline and extraordinary achievements.


However, the same kind of support seems to be missing for Pushpa 2, despite the film’s record-breaking business and the anticipation surrounding it. The film, starring Allu Arjun, has already set the stage to break all box-office records and make a significant mark on the pan-India level. Yet, unlike the earlier films, it seems that there is a noticeable lack of industry-wide enthusiasm. The absence of key figures from the mega family, like Chiranjeevi or Pawan Kalyan, posting about the trailer’s release is also striking. This could indicate a more reserved response from within Tollywood, which might stem from various factors, including possible industry politics or rivalry.


Despite Pushpa 2’s massive potential, the absence of overwhelming support from fellow Tollywood stars suggests that there might be underlying factors at play, possibly linked to Allu Arjun’s rising stature and the changing dynamics within the industry. The situation raises questions about the level of camaraderie among industry members, as Pushpa 2 is on its way to becoming a significant player in Indian cinema.

80 crore weekend for Kanguva

80 crore weekend for Kanguva

Kanguva, the Suriya starer had a poor 1st weekend performance at the box office in all the territories. The 1st weekend gross is in the range of 80 crores and 85 crores including 3D charges. Kanguva was expected to open with a 100 crore range number for the hype and the budget involved. But Kanguva has to settle down with an 80 crore weekend sadly.

Kanguva has a four day weekend period but it didn’t manage to collect 100 crore gross as expected after the end of the weekend. Advance bookings for Tomorrow look disastrous with no bookings registering at all. This will surely become a big box office disaster for Suriya in his career.

The Breakeven mark is valued at 400 crores worldwide. For the 1st weekend, the recovery is just in the range of 20% achieved. A loss of 70% is expected for all the buyers involved. This is definitely an embarrassing situation for Suriya and the makers who have exaggerated the expectations for a below par film. If they had maintained a normal mode, Kanguva would have atleast had a better weekend than the current situation.

Pushpa 2 Trailer falls short of massive expectations

Pushpa 2, the much anticipated film of Tollywood starring Allu Arjun in the lead role has its trailer released today at a massive event conducted in Patna, Bihar. Large amount of crowd erupted at the venue for catching a glimpse of Allu Arjun as well. But Pushpa 2 Trailer didn’t live upto the expectations and fell short of these massive expectations from fans and audiences.

The Trailer didn’t showcase the characters’ depth and had only Allu Arjun all the way from the beginning till the end. His character was also seen showing different variations in few scenes with getup and looks as well. He was shown as an unstoppable force dealing with the people against him in the trailer. But the punch that the audiences wanted felt missing from the trailer. It also appeared messy with many shots and not providing clarity of what the film is about.

Allu Arjun also said in the Trailer that Pushpa will not just be National but International this time indicating their aspirations of a global success like RRR. At the end of the trailer, he even changed the popular dialogue of Pushpa Ante Flower Anukuntivaa?, Fire ! to Wild Fire now. Apart from these, Sree Leela’s glimpse from the Kissik song was also teased. So, Pushpa 2 will be releasing on 5th December worldwide. The team must come up with another Trailer giving detailed setup of the film.

Jyothika and the team of Kanguva totally going wrong by missing the logic

Actress and wife of Actor Suriya, Jyothika recently came down heavily against people who she alleged for creating negativity around Suriya’s film, Kanguva. As we all know, Kanguva achieved a unanimous negative response on the opening day and heading towards a failure. This didn’t go well with Jyothika and also the team of Kanguva who have been alleging targeted negativity. But Jyothika and the team of Kanguva are going totally wrong missing the logic behind the underperformance of Kanguva. Let’s see why.

Jyothika or the team of Kanguva must understand that no one could bring a film down if it contains great output or content. Kanguva, which was projected as a Pan India biggie by the makers and especially the Producer, lacked this great content. This was the main reason for the disappointment felt by the audience who expected something big.

But the film had only a weak plot and narrow content which was unanimously felt by all kinds of audience. However, there were people who liked some portions in the film which happens for most of the films. But Kanguva had been visualised in a different way by the people with the boasting words of the Producer and Suriya as well. This resulted in a negative result badly.

So, Jyothika must understand what went wrong with Kanguva. Blaming audience or others as targeting a film purposefully wouldn’t make sense. As said, no one could bring a fine content driven film down. People would bring it down only if it secures a negative talk. She even quoted some scenes which she liked from the film but these scenes weren’t enough to generate an earth shattering response for Kanguva.

Actual reason for the Negativity:
And as she said, there was a targeted negativity but not on the content of Kanguva. The targeted negativity happened on both the Producer and Suriya who didn’t let the film speak by imagining big before the release itself. Even after questions being asked about this boasted talks, both the Producer and Suriya still replied the same way. It looked like as if they were prepared only for a 1000 crore grosser and not anything less than that.
