Bheemlanayak starring Pawan Kalyan and Rana Daggubati is releasing on 25th of February on the occasion of Mahashivratri. It is the first big budget and big star film releasing after a long gap at Telugu box office.
Hence, fans and audiences are expecting the Power Storm that the makers are promising with the film at theatres and at the box office as well. Not just the first day records, many distributors are expecting the movie to be a blockbuster.
If you look into Pawan Kalyan’s filmography, he has been giving strong comebacks after big failures. He did comeback with Gabbar Singh after facing failures like Teenmaar, Panja and Komaram Puli.
His previous films like Agnyathavaasi, Katamarayudu, Sardar Gabbar Singh did not work at the box office. He took a break to test his luck in politics but experienced failure there too. He did give a comeback with Vakeel Saab last year but audiences want to see him in a full-fledged mass film and Bheemlanayak promise exactly that.
The expectations from the movie are high as we discussed earlier and the film collected USD 350k already from pre-sales in Overseas markets. It collected USD 200k from USA only.
Looks like Pawan Kalyan is going to end the slump at the box office for Telugu Cinema with his entertainer and start a hit streak for Summer as big budget films like RadheShyam, RRR, Acharya are waiting to hit the screens during March, April months.

India’s Oscar Journey: Laapataa Ladies Misses the Mark, UK’s Santosh Shines
One of the most celebrated Hindi films of the year, Laapataa Ladies, directed by Kiran Rao, garnered immense acclaim for its artistry and storytelling. The film, which was selected as India’s official submission for the Best International Feature Film category at the Oscars, unfortunately did not make it to the recently announced shortlist by The Academy. This development officially marks the end of Laapataa Ladies’ journey in the race for the prestigious award.
Meanwhile, a noteworthy entrant in the same category is Santosh, a United Kingdom production filmed in the rural heartlands of India. Directed by Sandhya Suri, the film received international acclaim and earned its place among the 15 films shortlisted for the Best International Feature Film award. It premiered earlier this year at the 77th Cannes Film Festival in May 2024, further solidifying its reputation as a cinematic masterpiece.
Santosh follows the gripping story of a young widow, Shahana, who inherits her late husband’s job as a police constable. As she adjusts to her new role, she becomes entangled in institutional corruption while investigating the harrowing murder of a teenage Dalit girl. The narrative skillfully explores issues of caste, gender, and systemic injustice in contemporary India. With a stellar performance by Sunita Rajwar as Inspector Sharma, the film brings a unique, poignant lens to social and institutional dynamics.
Out of 85 eligible countries and regions, only 15 international films advanced to the next round of voting for the Oscars. The inclusion of Santosh highlights the global appeal of stories rooted in Indian soil, even as Laapataa Ladies’ exclusion remains a bittersweet moment for Indian cinema enthusiasts.
As the Oscars approach, all eyes will be on Santosh as it represents a nuanced tale of resilience and justice on one of the world’s biggest cinematic stages.
