Raju Weds Rambai Continues Its Blockbuster Run

Share


ETV Win Original’s latest venture, Raju Weds Rambai, has transitioned from digital to the big screen with remarkable impact. Released worldwide on November 21, the film opened to a blockbuster response right from its paid premieres, earning widespread praise for its emotional depth and compelling narrative.

Tackling the sensitive and socially relevant issue of honor killings, the film delivers a powerful, reality-rooted story that has struck a chord with audiences. Its strong word-of-mouth has helped maintain impressive momentum at the box office, carrying the film into its second week with solid occupancies across all regions. In the Nizam territory, the film continues to dominate despite multiple new releases.

Directed by Saailu Kaampati, Raju Weds Rambai is inspired by a true story set against the earthy backdrop of the Khammam–Warangal border. The natural performances, heartfelt emotions, and grounded storytelling elevate the film into a deeply moving cinematic experience. Lead pair Akhil and Tejaswi shine with their authentic chemistry and sincere portrayals.

After the success of Little Hearts, the winning combination of producer Bunny Vas and Vamsi Nandipati delivers yet another rural blockbuster. The film is produced by Venu Udugula and Rahul Mopidevi under the banners of Dholamukhi Subaltern Films and Monsoons Tales, further solidifying their reputation for backing meaningful and impactful cinema.

Peddi Ramps Up Action Shoot With Sham Kaushal

Mega Power Star Ram Charan’s highly anticipated pan-India film Peddi, directed by Buchi Babu Sana, continues to build strong momentum following the overwhelming response to its promotional content. The first single, “Chikiri Chikiri,” has emerged as a chartbuster, surpassing 110 million views and still climbing.

The team has now commenced a fresh shooting schedule at a grand set erected at the Aluminium Factory, Hyderabad. Ram Charan, Shiva Rajkumar, and several key cast members have joined this schedule, which features a visually spectacular stunt sequence.

This high-intensity action block is being crafted under the expertise of renowned Bollywood action director Sham Kaushal, father of actor Vicky Kaushal. Known for his exceptional work in blockbusters like Dangal, Padmaavat, Bajirao Mastani, and more, Sham Kaushal is collaborating with stunt master Navakanth to deliver an adrenaline-filled sequence pivotal to the film’s narrative.

The makers are investing heavily in this single action episode, underscoring its importance within the storyline. Backed by Venkata Satish Kilaru under Vriddhi Cinemas, Peddi is set for a grand worldwide release on March 27, 2026.

Tere Ishq Mein Opens Strong at Box Office

Share


After Raanjhanaa and Atrangi Re, actor Dhanush and director Aanand L Rai have reunited for the third time with Tere Ishq Mein, which released yesterday to an impressive response. Starring Kriti Sanon as the female lead, the romantic drama benefitted from strong pre-release buzz driven by its chart-topping album and the proven Dhanush–Rai combination.

According to trade reports, Tere Ishq Mein grossed Rs. 16.06 crore in Hindi and Rs. 68 lakh in Tamil on its opening day. The film registered an all-India gross of approximately Rs. 18 crore and a nett of around Rs. 14.7 crore, a remarkable start given the present scenario in the Hindi film market. Major metropolitan cities across the country witnessed excellent occupancy levels, particularly during the night shows.

In Hyderabad as well, the film saw strong traction. On Friday night, Tere Ishq Mein recorded 50 out of 106 shows as fast-filling or sold out, outperforming Andhra King, which had 46 out of 141 shows in the same category. Trade experts believe that a simultaneous Telugu release could have further boosted its numbers. Although the dubbed version titled Amara Kavyam was announced, it was not released concurrently. The lack of a structured release strategy and promotional activity for the Telugu version is seen as a missed opportunity, especially considering Dhanush’s sizeable fan base in the Telugu-speaking states. A visit from Dhanush for promotional events could significantly enhance the film’s reach.

With no major Bollywood releases this week, Tere Ishq Mein is positioned strongly and is expected to dominate the box office in the days ahead.

Ilaiyaraaja Wins Court Order to Remove Songs from Dude

Share


Maestro Ilaiyaraaja continues to enforce strict action against the unauthorised use of his musical works, reaffirming his zero-tolerance stance on copyright violations. After securing a favourable verdict earlier this year against the makers of Good Bad Ugly, the legendary composer has now won another significant legal battle—this time against the team behind the recent Diwali release Dude, starring Pradeep Ranganathan.

In his petition before the Madras High Court, Ilaiyaraaja stated that two of his classic songs—“Karutha Machan” from Pudhu Nell, Pudhu Naathu and “Nooru Varusham Indha Maappillaum” from Panakkaran—were incorporated into Dude without his permission. The Court found prima facie evidence that the songs were modified and used without authorisation, thereby compromising the integrity of the original compositions and causing reputational harm to the composer.

Consequently, the Court issued an interim injunction prohibiting the use of Ilaiyaraaja’s songs in the film with immediate effect. A request from the production house, Mythri Movie Makers, seeking one week’s time to comply with the order was denied, underscoring the seriousness of the violation.

Karthi’s ‘Vaa Vaathiyaar’ Teaser Promises a Fun, Action-Packed Entertainer

Share


Karthi’s upcoming Tamil film Vaa Vaathiyaar, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Nalan Kumarasamy, is gearing up for a theatrical release in December 2025. Produced by KE Gnanavelraja under the Studio Green banner, the film will also see a simultaneous Telugu release titled Annagaru Vostaru.

The teaser, unveiled by director Anil Ravipudi, sets an energetic tone filled with action, humour, and Karthi in prime form. Portraying a police officer who balances seriousness on duty with a playful edge, Karthi anchors the one-and-a-half-minute promo with charisma. Backed by Santhosh Narayanan’s dynamic score, the teaser positions the film as a quirky and engaging entertainer.

The cast features Krithi Shetty as the female lead along with Shilpa Manjunath, Rajkiran, Anand Raj, Sathyaraj, and others including Karunakaran, GM Sundar, Ramesh Thilak, PL Thenappan, Vidhya Borgia, Nivas Adthitan, and Madhur Mittal in key roles.

Janhvi Kapoor’s Earthy New Look Fuels Buzz for Peddi

Share


Janhvi Kapoor has been dominating social media recently, driven by the unexpected popularity of Chikiri Chikiri, the upbeat track from her upcoming rural sports drama Peddi. The song’s rapid rise has added fresh momentum to the film’s promotions, and Janhvi appears to be embracing the attention with composed confidence. To keep the buzz alive, she has now shared a new series of photos that have quickly gained traction across platforms. Many observers feel she’s entering a more assured, grounded phase in her career.

The latest images feature Janhvi in a rich, earthy-toned ensemble that exudes an old-world elegance. The dim, warm-toned setting—accented with subtle greenery—creates an intimate, almost cinematic frame around her. Standing poised with her hands gently clasped and her hair neatly pulled back, she radiates quiet strength. Her jewellery adds just the right amount of shimmer, enhancing the mood without overpowering it. The photos feel less like a promotional shoot and more like a visual atmosphere, which is precisely what makes them stand out.

With Peddi slated for a March 2026 release, the promotional journey is only beginning. But with the makers steadily unveiling songs and glimpses, anticipation is already on the rise. Given that Janhvi is stepping into a rustic, performance-driven role, fans believe this film may reveal a compelling new dimension to her craft.

Malavika Mohanan Excited About Raja Saab Role with Prabhas

Share


Recently, Malayalam actress Keerthy Suresh stirred a debate by claiming that Tamil superstar Vijay is a better dancer than Megastar Chiranjeevi, a statement that didn’t sit well with Telugu fans. On the other hand, Malavika Mohanan won hearts with her positive remarks about Telugu cinema and working with the stars.

Malavika, who is pairing with Superstar Prabhas in the upcoming horror-action film Raja Saab, spoke about her role in the movie. “Usually, in big hero films, the heroine gets 4–5 scenes and maybe a song or two. Honestly, I expected the same, but my role turned out to be very special. I feel lucky to get this part in my Telugu debut,” she said.

She also expressed her excitement about sharing the screen with Prabhas. “It’s such an honor to act with one of India’s biggest stars. It really is a special feeling,” she added.

Fans are thrilled to hear that her character is significant and not just a cameo. The film promises a unique mix of romance, horror, and supernatural elements. The first single, Vennela Vennela, has already impressed audiences, and fans are eagerly waiting for the next songs and more moments from this superstar pair.

Megastar Chiranjeevi Back with Mega Deal for Sankranti Film

Share


Megastar Chiranjeevi is fully back in action. After nearly a decade-long break, he returned, delivered a couple of films, and now seems busier than many younger heroes. His next outing, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, is already creating buzz even before the trailer drops. The first single, Meesala Pilla, took off faster than expected, leaving fans excited to hear the rest of the soundtrack. With most of the shooting wrapped, the team is quietly fine-tuning everything for a Sankranti release. Anil Ravipudi is directing, and his confidence in the project is evident.

The talk of the town is Chiru’s rumored Rs 72 crore remuneration. Unlike his usual profit-sharing deals, he is reportedly taking a fixed fee this time. On top of that, his daughter Sushmitha Konidela is said to be receiving half of the film’s profits. Some moviegoers were taken aback, noting that this sum is higher than the entire budget of a mid-range film. However, Shine Screens, led by Sahu Garapati, is unfazed. Ravipudi’s last Sankranti release crossed Rs 300 crore, and the team believes a Megastar film can easily surpass that.

Adding further weight to the project, Nayanthara plays the female lead. Bheems’ music is already making waves—the first single caught on instantly, and fans are eagerly waiting for the next release. The vibe suggests the team is riding the momentum smartly, without overhyping.

Raju Weds Rambai Box Office Success

Share


Raju Weds Rambai, starring Akhil, Tejaswi, and Chaitu Jonnalagadda in key roles, released on November 21 and has opened to a strong response from both audiences and critics. The film, praised as a heart-touching and emotionally rich love story, is enjoying steady momentum at the box office.

Centered around the sensitive and impactful theme of honor killings, the film draws from a real-life incident and delivers deep-rooted emotions that have resonated strongly with viewers. Its powerful storytelling and emotional depth have played a major role in its positive word-of-mouth.

After a successful first week, Raju Weds Rambai has entered its second week with solid occupancy across multiple regions. In particular, the film is showing remarkable dominance in the Nizam region, despite facing competition from new releases.

This film once again proves that strong content can drive box-office success, even for small-scale productions. Another promising week appears to be on the cards.

An ETV Win Original, the project marks the production debut of Venu Udugula, acclaimed for films like Needi Naadi Oke Katha and Virata Parvam. Directed by Saailu Kaampati, the film is based on a true incident from a village on the Telangana border.

Producers Bunny Vas and Vamsi Nandipati have delivered yet another successful project following their recent hit Little Hearts.

Akhanda 2 Release Teaser Raises Expectations

Share


After unveiling the teasers, trailer, and songs, the makers of Akhanda 2 have now released the release teaser during the film’s grand pre-release event, amplifying the excitement even further.

The teaser opens with a commanding voiceover that declares, “To disrupt India’s harmony, one must attack its very roots—its deep-rooted devotional faith.” What follows is a powerful glimpse of Akhanda, who once again rises to uphold Dharma and vanquish the forces of evil.

Director Boyapati Sreenu seems to have intensified the ferocity of Balakrishna’s larger-than-life Akhanda persona, presenting him in an even more divine and destructive form. The final frame is especially striking, symbolizing Akhanda’s spiritual might with the image of Lord Hanuman emerging majestically in the clouds.

The teaser also introduces Harshali Malhotra as Balakrishna’s daughter, adding an emotional dimension to the story. With the grand production values of 14 Reels Plus on full display, the release teaser has taken the film’s anticipation to an all-new level.

Tovino Thomas Hints at Joining NTR–Neel Film

Share


Director Prashanth Neel, who revolutionized commercial cinema in recent years with massive hits like KGF and Salaar, is now teaming up with Man of the Masses NTR for one of the most awaited pan-Indian films. Though the film’s official title is yet to be revealed, fans and media have already crowned it #NTRNeel, reflecting the enormous hype surrounding the project.

As the much-anticipated film gears up to resume shooting after a lengthy break, strong reports suggest that Neel is planning to bring several high-profile actors on board for crucial roles. Adding fuel to the buzz, Malayalam star Tovino Thomas has now sparked speculation with a curious response.

During a brief exclusive interaction with manatelugu at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa, when asked about his involvement in the NTR–Neel project, the Identity actor replied,
“Right now, I am not in a position to comment about it.”
This diplomatic answer—neither confirmation nor denial—has intensified rumours that Tovino may indeed be part of the action-packed saga.

Meanwhile, additional reports suggest that Bollywood veteran Anil Kapoor has also been approached for a significant role. However, the makers have not yet officially confirmed any of the supporting cast.

On the female lead front, Kannada beauty Rukmini Vasanth is strongly believed to be finalized opposite NTR, though an official announcement is still awaited.

With such exciting names being speculated, expectations on the NTR–Neel combination continue to soar, and fans are eagerly looking forward to the next major update from the team.
