Tovino Thomas' Lokah Chapter 2 Officially Announced With A Special Promo

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Kochi, September 27 - Producer Dulquer Salmaan's superhero film Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra, starring Kalyani Priyadarshan, has turned out to be a mammoth box office success with a gross collection of over 280 crores worldwide. The movie, directed by Dominic Arun, is Malayalam cinema's biggest grosser of all time. On Saturday (September 27), the makers officially announced Lokah Chapter 2, which will be headlined by Tovino Thomas, who, along with Dulquer Salmaan, made cameo appearances in the first part. The announcement was made through a special video, which is intriguing and has set the stage for bigger things to come. In a nearly three-minute-long video featuring Tovino Thomas as Michael/Chathan and Dulquer Salmaan as Charlie/Odiyan, the duo are discussing their characters in a fun conversation. When Charlie describes Michael as a "boring" person, as he always remains drunk, the latter disagrees with it and says he is a fun guy, and that his and his 389 brothers' basic trait is drinking alcohol. Chathan then points to the 'They live among us' book, mentioning how the first chapter was about Kalliyankattu Neeli, whom he calls his girl, and shared that the second part will be about him. He reveals that his brother is violent, not 'fun' like him, as he claims he's after him and Moothon (voiced by Mammootty). When he asks Charlie if he would come in case of any help, he rejects, stating he wouldn't want to interfere in Chathan's family issues. After a small disagreement, Michael says he would bring Charlie even if he doesn't want to come. Dominic Arun will return to write and direct Chapter 2. The filming is expected to begin by the end of this year or early next year. Stay tuned...

Shraddha Kapoor Announces Animated Film Chhoti Stree Before Stree 3

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Mumbai, September 27 - Producer Dinesh Vijan's Maddock Films is expanding its horror comedy universe and is set to introduce an animated film on Stree. The official announcement of the film was made on Saturday, 26, during the trailer launch event of Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna-fronted Thamma. Maddock had been teasing a big surprise for the past few days, and it was finally revealed during the Thamma trailer launch. The event was also attended by Shraddha Kapoor, who has been the biggest star of the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe with blockbuster films like Stree and Stree 2. While all eyes were on the Thamma trailer, Shraddha delighted the fans that before Stree 3, there will be an animated film titled Chhoti Stree based on the popular character. The animated movie will explore the backstory of Stree and will reportedly end with a scene of Stree 3, which will be released in 2027. "Kids and adults all watch Stree together. The interesting bit about Chhoti Stree is the way Amar and Niren have conceptualised it. It'll end with a scene from Stree 3. So, it'll transform from an animation to a live-action movie in the end. It'll also answer the question ki Stree ki back story kya hai. It'll arrive 6 months before Stree 3", Shraddha said. Meanwhile, Thamma, directed by Munjya fame Aditya Sarpotdar, is scheduled to release on October 21 on the occasion of Diwali. The film will feature a cameo of Varun Dhawan's Bhediya and is also linked with Munjya. Stay tuned...

They Call Him OG Becomes Pawan Kalyan's Biggest Grosser In 2 Days

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Hyderabad, September 27 - After the record-breaking opening, power star Pawan Kalyan's gangster action drama They Call Him OG witnessed a big drop on its second day, but the hold was good enough to make it the career biggest grosser of the superstar. Directed by Sujeeth, the film stormed the global box office with an opening of 144 crores worldwide (including premieres), marking not only Pawan Kalyan's career-best start but also one of the highest openings for an Indian film ever. However, Friday witnessed a significant drop of nearly 80%, bringing in around 28-29 crores worldwide gross. Despite the fall, OG has already overtaken the lifetime collection of Pawan Kalyan's Bheemla Nayak (₹158.5 crores) in just two days, becoming his biggest grosser. The film now stands at an estimated 172 crores worldwide gross, including approximately 123 crores from India alone. After the massive worldwide pre-sales of 98 crores, OG opened to mixed to positive reviews, which laid the foundation for a big start. However, the bigger-than-expected drop on the second day might have rung alarm bells, even though it is a norm for South Indian films to witness a decline in collection after a strong start. Produced by DVV Entertainment, OG needs to gross around 300 crores worldwide to break even. Ideally, such break-even targets should be achieved easily with the kind of opening OG had, but the same can't be said when it comes to South Indian films, which can take drastic turns, depending on word of mouth. OG, however, has the holiday advantage, which should help it score steadily. But it needs to be seen how things actually pan out in the coming days, which are crucial for its box office success.

Idly Kadai: Dhanush’s Fourth Directorial Sets Stage for a Grand Release

BY CHRISTA LINCY

##The much-anticipated Tamil drama Idli Kadai, written, directed, and headlined by Dhanush, is all set for its worldwide release on October 1, 2025, and the film has already become one of the most talked-about projects of the year. Backed by a strong ensemble cast including Nithya Menen, Arun Vijay, Sathyaraj, Rajkiran, Samuthirakani, Shalini Pandey, Geetha Kailasam, and a cameo from Parthiban, the film has positioned itself as a rooted family entertainer with a powerful emotional core. With music composed by G. V. Prakash Kumar, cinematography by Kiran Koushik, and editing by Prasanna GK, the film carries a runtime of 2 hours 27 minutes and has received a “U” certification, making it a clean family watch for audiences across age groups. ##The storyline follows Murugan (played by Dhanush), who comes from a modest background where his father (Rajkiran) runs a small idli shop in their village. After years of personal growth, Murugan returns to revive and uplift the family eatery, only to be met with challenges and resistance from Arun Vijay’s character, who plays a formidable adversary. Rooted in themes of tradition, ambition, family pride, and nostalgia, the film promises to deliver a heartfelt journey while also exploring conflicts that resonate universally. ##The pre-release buzz for Idli Kadai has been tremendous, fueled by an aggressive marketing campaign across Tamil Nadu with fan meets, hoardings, and 3D standees, as well as large-scale promotional events like the audio launch at Chennai’s Nehru Indoor Stadium, where producer Ishari Ganesh confirmed a Vada Chennai 2, much to fans’ delight. At the Madurai pre-release event, Dhanush turned emotional, calling himself a “proud Madurai boy,” and also addressed critics questioning his personal “idli story,” clarifying that his roots and early struggles have shaped his perspective as a filmmaker. The film’s music, with singles like Enna Sugam and Enjaami Thandhaane, has already topped charts and heightened anticipation among audiences. ##Adding to the momentum, special premiere shows were held on September 30 in Chennai, Madurai, and overseas hubs like Singapore, Malaysia, Dubai, London, and the United States, which drew packed houses and fan celebrations. The first responses from these premieres have been glowing, with audiences praising Dhanush’s performance and direction, the film’s nostalgic rural setting, and the emotional balance between family drama and conflict. Nithya Menen’s chemistry with Dhanush has been described as charming and refreshing, while Arun Vijay’s powerful antagonist role has elevated the story’s dramatic stakes. The supporting cast, including Sathyaraj and Rajkiran, has been lauded for adding authenticity, while Parthiban’s cameo has been noted as a delightful surprise. Critics of the premiere highlighted that Idli Kadai combines commercial appeal with grounded storytelling, a balance that has become Dhanush’s signature as a filmmaker. ##Industry expectations suggest that Idli Kadai could turn out to be one of Dhanush’s most successful films, blending strong box office potential with heartfelt storytelling. The film benefits from a positive pre-release buzz, an emotionally driven trailer, and a strategic festive holiday release window, all of which are seen as favorable factors for its performance. Early overseas premieres, particularly in Southeast Asia and the US, have drawn encouraging responses, indicating that the film may enjoy significant contributions from international markets as well. ##In all, Idli Kadai arrives with the promise of being more than just a rural family drama — it carries the weight of Dhanush’s personal storytelling, a stellar ensemble, mass-friendly music, and an emotional pull that could make it both a box office winner and a memorable addition to Tamil cinema in 2025.

Kantara Chapter 1 Makers Spark Dispute In Hindi Belt With Unreasonable Showcasing Demands Against Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Mumbai, September 26 - The Dussehra 2025 box office clash between South biggie Kantara Chapter 1 and the much-awaited Bollywood romantic comedy Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari seems to be taking an ugly turn after the makers demand exclusive excessive showcasing for the Kantara prequel. With less than a week to go before the release, the makers of both films are leaving no stone unturned to make their films reach the maximum audience, and in between, a dispute over showcasing has started making headlines. According to the report by Bollywood Hungama, AA Films, the distributors of Kanatar 2, have sent an email to the exhibitors regarding their requirement for the shows. It is said that "they have demanded that all shows in single-screen and 12 shows in two-screen cinemas. The latter also amounts to all shows; they mention the same clearly in the mail to avoid any confusion. Shockingly, they have also asked for 18 shows in three-screen multiplexes, which, in other words, also amounts to every show." The Kantara makers are very well aware that Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor's Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumar is releasing on the same day, yet they have asked for such a showcase in the Hindi belt, which is not just unreasonable, but also laughable. An exhibitor, on condition of anonymity, told Bollywood Hungama, "I don't agree with this unreasonable demand. We understand that Kantara is a highly anticipated film. But then, even Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari also looks like a fun entertainer, which will attract family audiences and youth. Hence, I'd like to play that film as well." The report further states that AA Films has demanded 100% shows in IMAX properties, along with a higher percentage of shows in theatres with 4-screens and beyond. It needs to be seen how things turn out, but at the moment, it doesn't look like the game is fair. Stay tuned...

Pawan Kalyan's They Call Him OG Beats Rajinikanth's Coolie To Score Biggest Box Office Opening of 2025 In India

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Mumbai, September 26 - Power star Pawan Kalyan has unleashed a box office storm with his gangster action drama They Call Him OG. The film has opened to record-breaking numbers domestically, registering the biggest opening of 2025, surpassing superstar Rajinikanth's Coolie, which belongs to a similar action-packed genre. Directed by Sujeeth, They Call Him OG scored an estimated 100 crore gross on its opening day at the Indian box office, including around 25 crore from premiere shows alone. This stellar start has eclipsed Coolie, which debuted with approximately 77 crore gross just last month. In terms of records, OG now holds the seventh-biggest opening ever for a Telugu film and the eighth-biggest for an Indian movie in the domestic market. In the Telugu states, the film has registered the third-highest opening day, trailing only behind RRR, starring Jr. NTR and Ram Charan, and Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2: The Rule. Meanwhile, at the worldwide box office, OG has grossed around 140 crores, which is in the same range as Jr. NTR's Devara (142 crores) and Thalapathy Vijay's Leo (142.90 crores), featuring among the top 10 biggest Indian openers globally. It has beaten Prabhas' Saaho (130 crores). With this phenomenal start, OG is set to become Pawan Kalyan's highest-grossing film ever as early as its second day, surpassing Bheemla Nayak (158.50 crore lifetime). Needless to say, the film also marks the actor's biggest-ever opening, comfortably beating his earlier release Hari Hara Veera Mallu. Stay tuned...
