Hrithik Roshan Admits War 2 Is a Box Office Disaster

Normally heroes hesitate to admit that they are in a bad phase or their movies have failed and try to give some reasons. But surprisingly, Hrithik Roshan openly admits that War 2 bombed at the Box office, in a recent public event.

“War 2 released with high expectations in August, being a YRF spy series film and starring Hrithik Roshan and NTR. Therefore, it was widely anticipated to earn 1000 Cr at the box office.”

However, the film’s content failed to impress audiences and ended up miserably at box office with 367 Cr gross worldwide and a huge loss for all buyers. The Telugu states buyers lose 2/3rd of invested amounts.

The film did not receive any good response upon its OTT release as well. In Netflix the movie is streaming from long days. Even the people who have watched the film on OTT felt it was a very poor film. 

In a way, the sequel of War also ended the Male spy universe of Yash Raj Films. Meanwhile, Hrithik Roshan fans are appreciating their favorite hero as he admitted that War 2 bombed at the box office.

Andhra King Taluka – Censor Details Inside

Ram Pothineni’s Andhra King Taluka is all set for a grand theatrical release worldwide in another few days, and the film has completed its censor with a U/A (13+) certificate, while the runtime of the film is 166 minutes and 26 seconds.

It means that the film exceeds 2 hours and 45 minutes long. As said above, it will have a grand theatrical release this Thursday, 27th November, with a worldwide breakeven target of 27 Cr.

Andhra King Taluka’s U/A censor rating suggests an all-around entertaining film. The trailer received a positive response, and with Ram facing recent setbacks, this film’s success is crucial for his career.

The film’s musical concert is happening this evening in Vizag. The best part is that Ram Pothineni will perform live and sing an unreleased song from the film, much to the delight of fans.

Low Business, Big Advantage for Ram’s Andhra King Taluka

Ram’s previous films, like The Warrior, Skanda, and Double iSmart, did huge business but failed to achieve break-even, emerging as box-office failures, but for his upcoming film, Andhra King Taluka, the low business can turn out to be an advantage.

After the above-mentioned setbacks, Ram took some time before finalizing his next project and signed Andhra King Taluka, which is a refreshing film for him. The actor has reportedly involved himself in all departments, as he strongly believed in the content.

Andhra King Taluka Business: Perfect Opportunity for Ram Pothineni’s Comeback

The film is getting released in theaters on 27th November, and if we look at the business ratios, the worldwide theatrical business is in the range of 27 Cr. This number is nowhere close to Ram Pothineni’s previous films, but considering the budget, it is very good business for the producers. 

Compared to his earlier movies, this film has been made on a reasonable budget, and with a sensible/low business deal and positive buzz, Andhra King Taluka gives Ram a strong chance to get back on the success track. 

If the word of mouth turns positive, the film has a high chance of recovering its break-even in the first week itself. This is important because the second week will face heavy competition, with “Akhanda 2” and Sharwanand’s “Biker” also releasing during the same weekend.

New Cases on iBomma Ravi

Hyderabad police are taking strict action against iBomma Ravi, the main accused in the Tollywood movie piracy case. According to reports, a total of five different cases have been registered against him.

Looking at the details, one case was filed based on a complaint by the Anti-Piracy Cell, while another case was registered in connection with a betting app promotional activity. In addition, cases were filed based on complaints submitted by several film directors. 

Currently, the police have arrested iBomma Ravi and are interrogating him in relation to all five cases, including Tollywood movie piracy and the Cybercrime Police have taken him into five-day custody. The investigation on the second day of custody has reportedly been intensified.

During the interrogation, the police are examining several key questions: Who supported Ravi in the piracy operations? Who else played a role behind him? Did he operate this large piracy network alone, or was it managed by a group? Who provided technical assistance for running the iBomma website and uploading videos? The Cybercrime Police are conducting a detailed investigation from these angles.

It is expected that several important facts related to the piracy network may come to light through this inquiry.

High Court Grants Personality Rights to Ilaiyaraaja

The Madras High Court issued an interim order on Friday to protect the personality rights of famous musician Ilaiyaraaja. This order prevents others from using his name, photos, or work without permission.

Justice N. Senthilkumar found that there was a valid case in favor of Ilaiyaraaja and granted temporary relief in the case he filed to protect his personality rights. The court has asked the respondents to submit their response.

Senior Advocate S. Prabakaran, representing Ilaiyaraaja, said that the lawsuit is aimed at stopping identity theft and public misrepresentation. He stated that several media outlets and YouTube channels were using Ilaiyaraaja’s photos and name to earn money.

He explained that some channels even used his image to create AI-generated dance videos without approval. Prabakaran referred to recent Delhi High Court orders on protecting Raj Shamani’s personality rights and also mentioned earlier Madras High Court rulings that gave similar protection to actor Rajinikanth.

At this point, the judge asked how the use of Ilaiyaraaja’s name by third parties affects him.

Prabakaran responded that some channels used Ilaiyaraaja’s name and image to create memes, which he considered disrespectful. He submitted screenshots as evidence showing many unauthorized photos that were shared online, harming Ilaiyaraaja’s reputation.

After reviewing the arguments, the court decided to grant interim protection and recognized the personality rights of the legendary musician Ilaiyaraaja.

Akhanda 2 Faces Massive Target: Film Must Hit 200 Cr for Break-Even

The much-awaited sequel, Akhanda 2, has registered a never-before business for Balakrishna and Boyapati Srinu, and the film must hit 200 Cr to achieve break-even at the worldwide box office.

Here’s the pre-release business breakdown for Akhanda 2 (Telugu)

  • Nizam – ₹27 crore
  • Ceeded – ₹24 crore
  • Uttarandhra – ₹13.50 crore
  • Guntur – ₹9.50 crore
  • East Godavari – ₹8.25 crore
  • Krishna – ₹7 crore
  • West Godavari – ₹6.50 crore
  • Nellore – ₹4.40 crore
  • Rest of India – ₹8 crore
  • Overseas – ₹15 crore

The Telugu version’s theatrical rights are valued at 123 Cr, and as said above, to achieve breakeven, Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2 needs to collect 200 Cr gross worldwide. Until now, Balakrishna did not even achieve a 150 Cr gross figure, but this crazy sequel needs to join the 200 Cr club for the hit status.

This target is definitely achievable. If we look at the first part, it collected 130 Cr gross with the lowest ticket prices amidst the COVID wave. So, if the sequel opens with the same WOM, with the current ticket prices, it can easily do 50% better than the first part.

Also, the Akhanda sequel’s Karnataka all-language rights are sold for ₹7.5 Cr, and Tamil Nadu all-language rights are sold for ₹2.75 Cr. If the film does not get the expected momentum from other languages, then the Telugu version alone needs to earn a ₹10 Cr share in these two territories.

12A Railway Colony Movie Review: Very Disappointing Thriller

Movie Name: 12A Railway Colony
Rating: 2/5
Cast: Allari Naresh, Kamakshi Bhaskarla, Sai Kumar, and others
Director: Nani Kasaragadda
Produced By: Srinivasa Chitturi
Release Date: 21st November 2025

Starring Allari Naresh, 12A Railway Colony is a suspense thriller that promises to keep audiences on the edge of their seats. The film, directed by Nani Kasaragadda, who makes his debut as a director. Let us see what the film has in store for us in the following review.

Story:

In Warangal, Karthik (Allari Naresh) and his friends work for a local politician named Tillu (Jeevan Kumar). Karthik tries to impress his neighbor Aaradhana (Kamakshi Bhaskarla), even though she shows no interest in him. When he decides to lend her money to win her heart, he unexpectedly learns a shocking secret about her past. From then on, the film reveals Aaradhana’s story while Karthik’s search uncovers more hidden truths.

Performances:

Allari Naresh is not convincing in this role. His character is not well written, and fails to create emotional connection with the audience. Dr. Kamakshi Bhaskarla is fine, while Sai Kumar ends up with a pointless and silly role. Viva Harsha, Jeevan Kumar, Getup Srinu, and Anish Kuruvilla are okay. Abhirami delivers a strong performance in a small but important role.

Analysis:

Directed by Nani Kasaragadda, 12A Railway Colony is a suspense thriller. The beginning feels weak and directionless. The romantic scenes between Naresh and Kamakshi are average, and a few comedy bits between Naresh and his friends are decent.

The film becomes interesting around the interval with a well-timed twist.The second half starts well but slowly loses grip. Sai Kumar makes a strong entry as the investigation officer, but strangely, it is Allari Naresh’s character, a local rowdy, ends up doing all the detective work.

The story eventually relies on just a couple of twists. The pre-climax works well, but the climax again falls flat.

Positives:

  • Interval Twist
  • Initial Parts of the Second and
  • Pre-Climax

Negatives:

  • Inconsistent Narration
  • Silly Twists/Scenes
  • Logicless Scenes
  • Climax

12A Railway Colony Review and Verdict:

12A Railway Colony is a dull and weak suspense thriller with only a few good moments. It lacks direction for most of the film and ends up being very disappointing.
