Thamma Day 1 Early Estimates: Ayushmann Khurrana-Rashmika Mandanna Starrer Opens On A Strong Note

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Mumbai, October 21 - Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna's much-awaited horror comedy Thamma has opened on a strong note at the domestic box office. The film, directed by Aditya Sarpotdar and produced by Maddock Films, benefited from the post-Diwali festive period and solid audience buzz around Maddock's expanding horror comedy universe. Thamma started on a good note during the morning shows with healthy occupancy across urban centres, and witnessed a significant jump as the day progressed. The film picked up very well from noon onward, both in multiplex chains and single screens. As per early estimates, Thamma has scored 23–25 crore net on its opening day, marking a strong start for the Ayushmann-Rashmika pairing. This makes it the second-biggest opener in the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe, only behind Stree 2, and also places it among the top 5 biggest Bollywood openings of 2025. The film's combination of horror, humour, and festive timing seems to have worked in its favour, with positive audience reactions reported from both family and youth demographics. If the trend continues over the weekend, Thamma could emerge as one of the most successful Bollywood releases of the season. Stay tuned...

Sivakarthikeyan’s Parasakthi Wraps Up: Sudha Kongara’s Political Epic Set for a Pongal 2026 Clash with Vijay’s Jana Nayagan

BY CHRISTA LINCY

The highly anticipated Tamil film Parasakthi, directed by Sudha Kongara and starring Sivakarthikeyan, Jayam Ravi, and Atharvaa, has officially wrapped production and is gearing up for a grand Pongal release on January 14, 2026. The announcement came through the team’s latest post on X, confirming that the film has completed its shoot and entered the final phase of post-production. Produced by Dawn Pictures and distributed by Red Giant Movies, Parasakthi is a large-scale political period drama set against the backdrop of the 1965 anti-Hindi imposition agitations in Tamil Nadu. Sivakarthikeyan plays a revolutionary student leader, while Atharvaa takes on the role of a fiery activist, and Jayam Ravi is rumoured to appear as the antagonist, with Sreeleela making her Tamil debut. Backed by an impressive technical crew featuring G. V. Prakash Kumar—marking his 100th film as a music composer—Ravi K. Chandran on cinematography, and Sathish Suriya handling editing, the film promises a compelling blend of social relevance and mass appeal. Shot across locations such as Madurai, Pollachi, and parts of Sri Lanka, the film is said to have been made on a speculative budget estimated between ₹150–250 crore, making it one of the most ambitious Tamil productions of 2026.The Pongal window will witness a major box-office face-off as Parasakthi goes head-to-head with Vijay’s Jana Nayagan, directed by H. Vinoth and releasing just days earlier. Both films carry strong political undercurrents—Parasakthi rooted in historical rebellion, and Jana Nayagan exploring modern-day politics—setting the stage for one of Tamil cinema’s biggest festival face-offs.While Vijay’s pan-Indian star power gives Jana Nayagan an early edge, Parasakthi’s stellar lineup, guided by Sudha Kongara’s direction and elevated by G. V. Prakash’s milestone soundtrack, makes it a formidable contender. With such a high-profile festive clash on the horizon, it’s insightful to look at the recent box-office performances of the leading actors to gauge the potential stakes for Parasakthi. It’s worth looking back at the previous releases of the two leading actors to understand the stakes: Vijay’s Leo (2023) emerged as a mammoth commercial success, reporting a worldwide gross of around ₹605.9 crore, including an overseas haul of about ₹204 crore. Meanwhile, Sivakarthikeyan’s Madharaasi (2025) opened to good initial buzz but with more modest results: it collected approximately ₹98.75 crore worldwide (including about ₹25 crore overseas) Given this backdrop, Parasakthi appears to be stepping into a high-stakes arena. While Vijay’s Leo sets a very high benchmark, Sivakarthikeyan’s Madharaasi shows that although there is strong potential, sustaining performance is key. For Parasakthi, the challenge is dual: to out-perform Sivakarthikeyan’s own recent benchmark and to hold ground against the lingering aura of Vijay’s blockbuster success. The competition is real — and the festival release adds further pressure. If Parasakthi wants to emerge not just as a hit but as a defining film of the season, it will need strong word-of-mouth, robust box-office momentum and favorable timing to overcome both past performance pressure and existing star-driven precedents.All eyes are now on Pongal 2026, as two of the industry’s most awaited films prepare for a high-voltage cinematic showdown.

BY CHRISTA LINCY

Vishal’s Makutam: A New Chapter Begins as He Takes the Director’s Seat

BY CHRISTA LINCY

The actor-producer Vishal is all set for a landmark film with Makutam, marking his 35th acting outing and the 99th production of the prestigious Super Good Films banner. Directed by Ravi Arasu and produced by R. B. Choudhary, the film launches with a striking first look that hints at a bold, multi-layered narrative.The first look poster revealed Vishal in three distinct avatars — a retro carefree look, a regal authoritative look, and a formal disciplined look — signalling that his character may traverse different phases or identities. The teaser opens with evocative visuals: underwater shots, a scorpion emerging, a massive ship, and then scenes at a shore — suggesting a storyline with water, port/backdrop and layered conflict. Originally, Makutam was to be directed by Ravi Arasu, but Vishal revealed that he had been closely involved in shaping the film’s creative direction even before officially taking over. The actor said that this move wasn’t sudden — he had been “ghost-directing” the film and eventually decided to make his role official to ensure the vision stayed true to what the story demanded.His experience as an actor and producer has given him a deep understanding of the filmmaking process, which he now brings to Makutam in his new dual role. Vishal’s previous film, Madha Gaja Raja, was filmed in 2013 but released in 2025. Made on an approximate budget of ₹15 crore, the film went on to earn a worldwide collection of ₹56.15 crore, showcasing Vishal’s consistent box-office appeal and potential to deliver commercially successful projects. While specific details about the storyline are still under wraps, Makutam is expected to be a large-scale action drama infused with emotional depth and strong character arcs. The film, being made simultaneously in Tamil and Telugu, aims to cater to a wide audience base, continuing Vishal’s streak of ambitious and mass-appeal projects. With Vishal leading both in front of and behind the camera, Makutam is shaping up to be one of his most anticipated ventures. The combination of creative control, powerful performances, and big-screen spectacle has already set high expectations among fans— all that’s left now is to wait for its grand release.

Harshvardhan Rane's Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Box Office Preview/Opening Expectations: Eyes Double-Digit Start

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Mumbai, October 21 - Romantic drama Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, starring Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa, is gearing up for a promising opening at the box office. The film has surprised trade analysts with its good advance booking trend, signalling a strong start despite a modest star cast. Directed by Milap Zaveri, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat has clocked 4 crores in advance bookings (including block seats) for its opening day. This figure is notably higher than Akshay Kumar's Kesari Chapter 2, underscoring the unexpectedly strong interest the film has generated among audiences. Trade trackers note that the advances are surprisingly good for the cast involved, especially considering the film's romantic drama genre and mid-tier positioning. The advance numbers, coupled with the Diwali holiday effect, have positioned Deewaniyat for a healthy start in the range of 8–10 crores on opening day. Adding to its advantage, the film releases a day after Diwali, traditionally regarded as one of the best days for the box office. With families and younger audiences expected to flock to cinemas, Deewaniyat is likely to see a surge in spot bookings across urban and semi-urban centres. If the early trends sustain through the day, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat could well emerge as a dark horse this festive season, potentially posting one of the strongest openings for a low-budget romantic drama in recent times.
