Dulquer Salmaan's Kaantha Creates Strong Buzz With Enthusiastic Early Reviews

Chennai, November 13 - Actor Dulquer Salmaan's period drama thriller Kaantha is creating a strong buzz ahead of its November 14 release worldwide. Also starring Bhagyashri Borse, Samuthirakani, and Rana Daggubati, the film had its premiere on November 12 in Chennai for media and critics, and the early reactions are highly positive. Set in the 1950s, in Madras, the film revolves around the legendary director in Tamil, Ayya, and his strained relationship with T. K. Mahadevan, a film star he helped establish and popularise. When Mahadevan renames a female-focused film production that was previously called "Shaantha" to suit his own image, to "Kaantha", the story takes a different direction. The early reactions hail Duqluer Salmaan and Bhayashri Borse's performances as standout among the rest. The direction by Selvamani Selvaraj is said to be one of the best in Tamil cinema recently, while the music by Jakes Bejoy is top-notch. Produced by Spirit Media and Wayfarer Films, Kaantha has its night premiere shows today, while the full-fledged release is on November 14. The bookings are decent, but word of mouth is expected to propel it with a strong performance at the box office. #Kaantha 4/5 @dulQuer as TK Mahadevan is the heart and soul of this film.

De De Pyaar De 2 Box Office Preview/Opening Day Expectations: Word of Mouth Is Key For Ajay Devgn-Starrer

Mumbai, November 13: Ajay Devgn's much-awaited romantic comedy De De Pyaar De 2 is all set to arrive in cinemas this Friday, aiming to recreate the charm of its 2019 predecessor, which became a box office hit with a worldwide collection of around 150 crores. Directed by Anshul Sharma, the sequel marks Ajay Devgn's return to the romantic comedy space after a gap, pairing him once again with Rakul Preet Singh, and R. Madhavan joins the cast in a key role, among others. The film has been certified U/A by the CBFC with an approved runtime of 2 hours and 27 minutes, making it a family-friendly entertainer targeted at multiplex audiences. De De Pyaar De 2 buzz has been a mixed bag. After a widely appreciated trailer, the makers failed to build the buzz, which now seems to be hit and miss. The advance booking, which opened a couple of days before the release, has been lukewarm but did witness some momentum on the last day. Also read - OTT Releases This Week Nov 10 to Nov 17 - Dude, Telusu Kada, K-ramp, Dashavatar, and More The film's final pre-sales are in the range of recently released Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, which is of the same genre. SSKTK opened to close to a double-digit start. Here, DDPD2 also has the franchise factor, although it didn't help much in pre-sales, but is expected to receive some boost in spot bookings. The franchise fatigue, however, is real, and that might overpower the overall franchise value if reviews are not favourable. Considering these factors, DDPD2 is expected to open in the range of 8-10 crores net. It is believed and also suggested by the pre-sales trend that the movie's overall box office performance will heavily depend on word of mouth, especially given its genre and target audience. The original DDPD took in 10.40 crores net (including previews), and if the reviews are extremely positive, the sequel might challenge this opening start. One of the big positives for De De Pyaar De 2 is the limited competition at the box office this weekend. With no major releases lined up, the film has a clear run and could benefit from family crowds and walk-in audiences, particularly in urban centres. All eyes are now on audience reactions post-release, as positive buzz could help the film build strong momentum over the weekend and turn into another success story for Ajay Devgn. Stay tuned...

Grace Meets Gunfire: Priyanka Chopra Jonas Ignites The Screen As Mandakini In SS Rajamouli's Globetrotter

Hyderabad, November 12 — The makers have set social media ablaze with the jaw-dropping and unexpected first look of Priyanka Chopra Jonas as Mandakini, from visionary director SS Rajamouli's upcoming cinematic spectacle, tentatively called GlobeTrotter, fronted by Mahesh Babu along with Prithviraj Sukumaran. The poster presents Priyanka in a fierce and striking avatar, donning a vivid yellow saree while brandishing a gun amid a chaotic, fiery backdrop — a signature Rajamouli blend of grandeur, mythology, and modern action. The actress exudes power and elegance, perfectly embodying the duality of grace and grit that her character seems to represent. The film, which has been in the spotlight ever since it went into production, promises to be a genre-bending global adventure. Rajamouli, known for his monumental storytelling in Baahubali and RRR, appears to be crafting yet another visual marvel that pushes the boundaries of Indian cinema. The reveal of Priyanka's character, Mandakini, has sparked immense buzz among fans and the industry alike, especially after Prithviraj Sukumaran's look recently, which got an underwhelming response. With the Globetrotter event scheduled for November 15, anticipation is at an all-time high as audiences await more revelations from Rajamouli's highly guarded project.

Aamir Khan-fronted Dadasaheb Phalke Biopic With Rajkumar Hirani Shelved? The Duo To Announce A New Film Soon

Mumbai, November 12 - Earlier this year, Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan and legendary director Rajkumar Hirani announced their third collaboration after the iconic blockbusters like 3 Idiots and PK. The duo reunited for the biopic of Dadasaheb Phalke, the father of Indian cinema. The announcement of the film created a lot of excitement among the fans and in the industry, until recently, when it was reported that Aamir is not happy with the script. According to the latest report by Bollywood Hungama, Aamir and Hirani have decided to shelve the project and will instead take on another film. It is said that the duo is not happy with the script and has decided to put it on hold. "Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani are both known for their perfection. However, they were not satisfied with the script for the Dadasaheb Phalke biopic. Aamir felt it was too dry for today's audiences and lacked the humour typically expected from their pair. After rewriting the script several times, they decided to shelve the project for now", says the report. The report further stated that the blockbuster duo wanted a perfect script to start a film on an iconic figure like Dadasaheb Phalke, which didn't work out as it reportedly lacked emotional impact. The duo is now exploring possibilities to work together on another film. Meanwhile, Aamir Khan, who was last seen in Sitaare Zameen Par earlier this year, is reading several scripts and is set to lock his next film soon. Hirani, too, has begun work on his next story and is likely to make it official in the early next year. Stay tuned...

Chennai, November 10 - Thalapathy Vijay's upcoming political action thriller Jana Nayagan, which is also going to be his last movie, is creating waves in the trade. With 2 months to go for release, the film has already set the trade on fire with one of the biggest pre-release businesses. According to Tamil trade reports, the film's Tamil Nadu theatrical business has been locked for 105 crores, while the overseas rights have reportedly fetched around 80 crores. The audio rights were sold for 35 crore, and the digital streaming rights have brought in 110 crore by Amazon Prime Video, taking the total pre-business figure over 325+ crore so far. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The final pre-release business of Jana Nayagan is expected to reach 400 crores as satellite and other area rights are yet to be locked.

Prabhas, SS Rajamouli's Baahubali: The Epic Crosses 50 Crore Worldwide, But Fails To Match The Hype

Hyderabad, November 10 - Pan-India superstar Prabhas and director SS Rajamouli's much-hyped magnum opus Baahubali: The Epic has topped 50 crores gross collection at the worldwide box office, but this isn't what the trade had expected despite it becoming the first Indian re-release to hit the milestone. Baahubali: The Epic, which is a one-part version of the Baahubali duology, was carrying huge anticipation. With grand promotions, renewed marketing buzz, and strong nostalgia among fans, the film has managed to collect over 50 crore worldwide in 10 days — a figure impressive for most re-releases, yet far below the towering expectations surrounding this one. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Trade had anticipated Baahubali: The Epic to rewrite the record books for re-released films, especially considering the film's legendary status, and a never-before-attempted one-cut version. However, while the movie opened strongly in select territories, its collections dropped quickly after the first weekend, signalling limited repeat value among audiences. The grand re-release — including extensive 4K restoration, IMAX screenings, and a new marketing push — had created an atmosphere similar to that of a major new release. Yet, the 50 crore worldwide gross has highlighted that even an iconic franchise like Baahubali cannot fully replicate its past theatrical dominance merely through nostalgia. While the 50 crores mark globally still makes it the highest-grossing Indian re-release to date, the numbers fall short of high expectations that had pegged it to touch the 100 crore mark globally. Some even had anticipated it to cross 100 crores in India alone, but that is not the case anymore. Stay tuned...

Laalo Krishna Sada Sahaayate Creates History With Massive 5th Weekend: Becomes Biggest Gujarati Grosser of 2025

Mumbai, November 10 - Gujarati devotional drama Laalo Krishna Sada Sahaayate is wreaking havoc at the domestic box office. The movie is behaving like a sleeping giant which suddenly woke and is having carnage with never-before-seen numbers for a Gujarati title. Directed by Ankit Sakhiya, Laalo had an unbelievable 5th Sunday with a gross collection of around 8.50 crores. A day before, it minted a record 5+ crores gross, which is the first time a Gujarati film hit the mark, as no Gujarati film had ever grossed even 4 crores in a single day until this. Laalo had one of the biggest 5th Sundays ever at the Indian box office, not just for a Gujarati title. It was the number 1 movie this weekend (5th weekend) with a gross collection of approximately 16.50 crores, pushing the total collection to 32+ crores gross in 31 days. With this, it has become the highest-grossing Gujarati film of the year, and one of the highest of all time. Due to the non-availability of data, it is difficult to determine which is the biggest Gujarati grosser, but as per the unofficial numbers, Chaal Jeevi Laiye (2019) is the number 1 film with over 40 crores gross. Laalo, with the kind of momentum it has, is set to cross the current record-holder and become the biggest Gollywood blockbuster ever. It is hard to predict where Laalo will end its box office run, but with momentum by its side, it should cross the 50 crores mark easily and might go on to top 75 crores, which is unthinkable for a Gujarati film.
