Baahubali Films Vanish from Netflix Ahead of Epic Re-Release

Share


As S.S. Rajamouli’s iconic Baahubali franchise gets ready for a grand theatrical re-release as Baahubali: The Epic, fans have noticed a surprising development — both films from the blockbuster series have disappeared from Netflix.

The re-release, scheduled for October 31, combines Baahubali: The Beginning (2015) and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017) into a single, immersive cinematic experience. Yet, social media screenshots show Netflix displaying the message: “Oh no! This title currently isn’t available to watch in your country.”

This sudden removal has sparked widespread speculation. While some suggest it may be due to expired streaming rights, others believe it’s a strategic marketing move to build excitement ahead of the re-release.

Starring Prabhas, Anushka Shetty, Rana Daggubati, and Ramya Krishnan, the Baahubali series is hailed as one of India’s most celebrated cinematic universes, redefining pan-Indian storytelling. Whether it’s a licensing issue or a promotional strategy, one thing is clear — Baahubali continues to dominate conversations, even eight years after its original box office triumph.

Kantara Chapter 1 Continues Its Box Office Rampage

Share


Rishab Shetty’s Kantara Chapter 1 is roaring at the box office with sensational numbers. The film has maintained a phenomenal hold through its opening weekend, collecting close to its day-one figures on Sunday and taking its total to a whopping ₹223.25 crore across all languages.

On Sunday alone, the mythological action drama raked in ₹61 crore, matching its ₹61.85 crore opening day collection across Kannada, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam markets. According to Sacnilk, by Saturday, the Kannada version had earned ₹47.6 crore, while the Hindi version showed exceptional growth, minting ₹50.5 crore at the domestic box office.

Mounted on a massive ₹125 crore budget, Kantara Chapter 1 has already shattered multiple records, becoming the highest-grossing Kannada film of 2025 so far.

Directed and headlined by Rishab Shetty, who also co-wrote the story with Anirudh Mahesh and Shanil Guru, the film features Jayaram, Rukmini Vasanth, and Gulshan Devaiah in pivotal roles.

Serving as a prequel to the 2022 blockbuster Kantara, this chapter dives deeper into the mystical folklore that captivated audiences worldwide. Notably, Rishab Shetty had earlier bagged the National Award for Best Actor (2024) for Kantara, which also won the Best Popular Film award.

US Introduces 12-Month Visa Bond Pilot for Travelers from The Gambia, Malawi, and Zambia

Share

The United States has introduced a 12-month visa bond pilot program targeting nationals from The Gambia, Malawi, and Zambia — countries with high US visa overstay rates. Effective August 20, 2025, the initiative requires applicants for short-term B-1/B-2 tourist or business visas to post financial bonds ranging from $5,000 to $15,000, as determined during consular interviews.

Under the program, approved travelers must enter and exit the US exclusively through Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), or Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD). The US Department of State launched this program to curb visa overstays, which occur when visitors remain beyond the authorized period of stay.

Overstay rates for the targeted countries are significantly higher than global averages. In fiscal year 2023, The Gambia reported an 18.6% overall overstay rate, rising to 38.79% among B-1/B-2 visa holders. Malawi’s rates were 4.17% by air and sea, and 14.32% by land, with student and exchange visitors reaching 19.71%. Zambia exceeded the 10% threshold in multiple categories. By comparison, India’s overall overstay rate was 1.58%, and just 1.29% for B-1/B-2 visas.

Visa bonds will be fully refunded if holders comply with all non-immigrant visa conditions, including timely departure from the US, or if the visa holder does not travel. Bonds are also reimbursed if entry is denied at the port of arrival. Applicants must submit Form I-352 (Immigration Bond) via the Department of Homeland Security and complete payment through the US Treasury’s online Pay.gov portal. The pilot program is scheduled to run until August 5, 2026.

They Call Him OG Tops Telugu Box Office 2025

Share


Earlier this year, Sankranthiki Vasthunnam dominated theatres during the Sankranthi season, collecting nearly ₹300 crore worldwide. Since then, no straight Telugu film had crossed that benchmark—until They Call Him OG arrived in September.

Released on September 25, the film opened to a strong response and grossed close to ₹300 crore within its first ten days. On Sunday, the makers officially announced that it is now the highest-grossing Telugu film of the year.

The Telugu film industry has seen a quieter year, with fewer big releases and several major films underperforming at the box office. The absence of pan-India stars like Prabhas and Allu Arjun, coupled with Jr NTR’s War 2 being classified as a Hindi film, left limited competition. Meanwhile, Mahesh Babu is busy with #Globetrotter, which is yet to hit theatres.

Looking ahead, the next major contender is Akhanda 2 Thaandavam, slated for release on December 5, 2025. The sequel carries the brand value of the 2021 blockbuster Akhanda and marks the reunion of Nandamuri Balakrishna and director Boyapati Sreenu, a duo known for delivering three consecutive hits. The first film also performed well on OTT platforms in dubbed versions, and with Akhanda 2 planned as a pan-India release, positive word of mouth could help it compete for the top spot.

Akhanda 2 Thaandavam stars Nandamuri Balakrishna and Samyuktha Menon, is directed by Boyapati Sreenu, produced by Raam Achanta and Gopi Achanta under the 14 Reels Plus banner, and features music by Thaman.

Tollywood Box Office Buzz: Theatres Packed Again

Share


Tollywood is celebrating a cheerful Sunday as theatres across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana come alive with moviegoers. Following a strong September marked by hits like Little Hearts, Mirai, Kishkindhapuri, and OG, the new month has kicked off on a highly positive note. Crowds are returning in force, and the industry is finally breathing easy.

OG continues to draw audiences even in its second week, now running to housefull shows in Andhra after ticket prices returned to normal. Strong word of mouth and steady collections have fueled its continued success.

Similarly, Kantara: A Legend – Chapter 1 is creating a buzz, with tickets selling out rapidly in many towns. Distributors are adding extra screenings to accommodate demand, anticipating big weekend earnings.

Interestingly, Mirai is also performing well despite approaching its OTT release and limited screen availability, selling over 13,000 tickets in just 24 hours—a rare achievement for a film in its late run. Little Hearts maintains steady support from young audiences in select theatres.

After months of slow business, theatre owners and distributors are delighted to see packed halls once again. The upbeat mood signals that Tollywood’s box office energy is back in full swing.

She wore a mustard-orange lehenga that flared gracefully, its silver and green border catching the light with every step. Complementing the ensemble, her blouse featured soft shades of pink and aqua, paired with a striking red dupatta draped elegantly over her shoulder. Loose curls framed her face, while heavy bead earrings added a touch of grandeur. The harmonious mix of colors and textures showcased her signature balance of tradition and bold style.

Off the fashion floor, Anasuya is gearing up for the release of ‘Ari’, directed by Jayashankar of Paper Boy fame. The film explores the Arishadvargas—lust, anger, greed, pride, and envy—linking mythology to the complexities of contemporary society. Spanning from the story of Krishna’s birth to modern human desires, the trailer promises a gripping mythological thriller. Alongside Anasuya, the cast includes Sai Kumar, Vinod Varma, and Srinivasa Reddy, among others. Notably, the project has been seven years in the making, finally ready to captivate audiences.

Director Sujeeth appears to be following this trend. He has already linked Saaho with They Call Him OG, which released on September 25, and hinted at more with a post-credit sequence announcing They Call Him OG 2.

During a recent visit to the USA for special screenings of They Call Him OG, Sujeeth interacted with fans, sparking further speculation about his cinematic universe. When asked if Akira, Pawan Kalyan’s son, would appear in the OG prequel, he teasingly replied, “If I say now, the thrill will be spoiled.” Later, when questioned about Nani joining the universe, Sujeeth playfully asked, “Do you want it or not?”—prompting cheers from the crowd. His enigmatic smile afterward left fans eagerly guessing about upcoming projects.

With these hints, Sujeeth seems poised to expand his cinematic universe, keeping audiences on the edge of their seats for interconnected stories and future surprises.
