Chennai, October 14 - Mani Ratnam's mega-blockbuster movie Ponniyin Selvan - Part 1 has become the biggest-grossing movie of all-time in Tamil Nadu state, after beating Kamal Haasan's all-time blockbuster Vikram, which was released in June this year. ## "Ponniyin Selvan", which is based on Kalki Krishnamurthy's 1955 novel of the same name, has surpassed the total lifetime collection of "Vikram" in Tamil Nadu in just 15 days. The Lokesh Kangaraj-directed movie grossed 180.57 crores, and with today's collection, "PS-1" has reached approx. 182 crores in the home state. It is all set to become the first movie ever to enter the 200 crores club. ## Produced by Madras Talkies and Lyca Productions, "PS-1" has not only beaten "Vikram" in Tamil Nadu but also overtaken its worldwide lifetime collection (414.43 crores) to become the second biggest Tamil movie of all time, behind only Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar's "2.0" (744 crores).

Twitter Talk: Ayushmann Khurrana's 'Doctor G' Gets Thumbs Up Against Parineeti Chopra's 'Code Name: Tiranga'

Mumbai, October 14 - Ayushmann Khurrana's campus comedy-drama film Doctor G has been released in theaters today along with Parineeti Chopra and Harrdy Sandhu's spy action thriller Code Name: Tiranga and a few other films. ## Going by the initial reaction from the movie-goers and critics, it seems "Doctor G" will be the first choice of the audience over the weekend along with the Kannada movie Kantara, of which the Hindi version has been released today after creating waves in Kannada. ## Directed by Anubhuti Kashyap in her directorial debut, "Doctor G" is being called hilarious while dealing with a complicated subject where Ayushmann plays a gynecologist. Social comedy-drama has always been Ayushmann's strong zone and it looks like he is back in that after a couple of missed opportunities. ## Apart from Ayushmann, the performances of Rakul Preet Sigh, Shefali Shah, and Sheeba Chaddha are getting big recognition. The direction of the movie is also being praised. The only debatable point of the movie, as per the critics' talks, is the second half where the plot of the movie gets off-track, but overall, the film is getting a very good reception. ## "Code Name: Tiranga", directed by Ribhu Dasgupta, is a spy action thriller but the initial response is average to the movie. The movie had created a decent buzz through teaser/trailer, but the critics are calling it a failed attampt in this genre. The performence Parineeti Chopra along with other actors is praiseworthy but the direction by Ribhu Dasgupta is being criticised. The movie is being called a low to average affair, which might make it tough for it going forward. ## On other other hand, "Kantara" Hindi has recieved super positive reviews from critics and it will give a tough fight to "Doctor G", and other movies. This Rishab Shetty-starrer has potential to outshine all other Hindi movies to take lead going forward, which remains to see.## Stay tuned...

South Indian Titans Set Up Big Box Office Clashes On Pongal/Sankranthi 2023

Chennai, October 13 - Two of the biggest stars of Tamil cinema, Thalapathy Vijay and Ajith Kumar are shooting for their next films, titled Varisu, and Thunivu, respectively. The shooting of both films is in the last leg as they are getting ready for release in 2023. ## Thalapathy Vijay's "Varisu", which is directed by Vamshi Paidipally, is a Tamil-Telugu bilingual movie and it has already been announced to release on Pongal 2023, mostly on January 12. And now, the latest news is that the makers of "Thunivu" are also eyeing the Pongal release, mostly on January 13. ## "Thunivu" is directed by H. Vinoth and produced by Boney Kapoor in association with Zee Studios. Pongal has always lured Indian filmmakers, especially South filmmakers, to release their films in theaters and make the most out of it. This year, except for Nagarajuna's "Bangarraju", no other big films were released in theaters due to the 3rd covid-19 wave, but the 2023 Pongal festival will not have to face such things. ## Apart from the mega box office clash between Tamil superstars, the Telugu superstars are also coming with their films on Sankranthi. One of the biggest Indian films of 2023, Adipurush, starring Prabhas was long back confirmed to hit big screens on January 12, 2023, in multiple languages apart from original Hindi and Telugu. ## "Adpurush" is the only Pan-Indian film, releasing on Sankranthi 2023 occasion. The aforementioned two Tamil tentpoles will affect the "Adipurush" biz in Tamil Nadu but the biggest competition for the movie will be megastar Chiranjeevi's yet-untitled action thriller film that is also looking for the same release time.## Thalapathy Vijay's "Varisu" is more of a Tamil movie but having Telugu producer attached to it in the form of Dil Raju, who has a very good reputation among exibitors, the movie will surely dent chances of "Adipurush" and "Mega 154". It is going to be a tough taks for the makers to plan a sutable release of their films across Tamil Nadu and Telugu states, which is already looking a tricky situation to be in. ## As of now, all four aforementioned films are releasing on Pongal/Sankranthi 2023, and it will be intresting to see if the make some changes to avoid a potential dent to their film's business.## Stay tuned...

During the latest media interaction, Chiranjeevi said that he takes full responsibility for the film's box office failure and claimed that he and Ram Charan returned 80% of their remuneration to the producers after Acharya was rejected.## Ram Charan played a key role in the movie. Chiranjeevi further said that they take full responsibility when a film fails and at the same time, have no guilty feelings about the "Acharya" film. This is a kind gesture by the megastar towards the investors of the movie. ## Meanwhile, Chiranjeevi will next be seen in "Mega 154" which is directed by Bobby and produced by Mythri Movie Makers. Speaking about the same, Chiranjeevi said, "My dialogues in Mega 154 will be delivered in the east Godavari dialect.
