Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 27: When They Call Him OG (stylized OG) hit theatres on September 25, 2025, the Telugu action thriller didn’t just open—it detonated. Within hours, it had broken multiple box office records, stunned trade analysts, and set social media aflame. Reports suggest the film shattered five major box office benchmarks, pushing aside comparisons with legendary names like Shah Rukh Khan and Rajinikanth in key metrics. But behind those explosive numbers lies a more intricate narrative—of fan fervor, brand positioning, global ambitions, and the thin line between momentum and meltdown. The Movie, the Sell & the Star Pull At its core, OG is Sujeeth’s audacious attempt to fashion a pan-India gangster canvas. According to its Wikipedia entry, the film stars Pawa...

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 27: When Bollywood decides to blend horror with meme-culture comedy, the results are rarely subtle. Thamma, the latest offering starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna, dropped its trailer this week, and let’s just say — the reactions have been anything but uniform. From memes flooding X (formerly Twitter) to cinephiles wondering if Bollywood’s obsession with “desi horror universes” has finally peaked, Thamma has successfully ignited a debate before its release. But isn’t that what trailers are supposed to do? Stir chaos, spark curiosity, and push fans to pick sides? On that front, mission accomplished. A Trailer That Walks a Tightrope At first glance, the trailer appears ambitious. Set in a sleepy Indian town haunted by legends, Thamma att...

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 27: It took over three decades, countless iconic roles, and a galaxy of red carpets—but finally, Shah Rukh Khan has that one award many felt was missing from his shelf. At the 71st National Film Awards, he clinched Best Actor for his performance in Jawan, a moment many in the industry and fandom had long awaited. What makes this moment more than symbolic is the sheer trajectory it underscores: from romantic leads to mass entertainers, and now to institutional recognition. Yet, even in celebration, the contours of this win provoke deeper questions about art, genre, and the politics of acknowledgement in Indian cinema. More Than a Win: Why It Resonates Validation for mass cinema: Jawan is not quiet, indie art — it’s loud, commercial, packed with spe...

New Delhi [India], September 26: After breaking new ground with Muddy, India’s first-ever mud racing film, visionary filmmaker Dr. Pragabhal now presents JOCKEY, produced by PK7 Studios. This ambitious project marks the first Indian film to depict the traditional Madurai Goat Fight, a centuries-old cultural sport, on the big screen with raw authenticity and cinematic scale. The director’s inspiration came from witnessing the fierce yet emotional goat fights in Madurai. What captivated him was not only the adrenaline of the sport, but the bond between goats and their handlers – relationships steeped in ritual, respect, and survival. The goats, often treated as family members, are adorned and worshipped before stepping into the arena. This blend of tradition, culture, and human-animal connec...

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 26: It’s official — Dhadak 2, the much-talked-about Bollywood romance-drama led by Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri, is making its way to the OTT universe. After stirring up headlines in theatres for both its brave subject matter and polarising reception, the film is now primed to reach living rooms and mobile screens across the country. And perhaps, this digital second life might be the redemption arc that director Shazia Iqbal’s project deserves. Because let’s be honest: while Bollywood loves its romance sagas, a love story that dives into the raw, thorny realities of caste equations is bound to ignite applause from some corners and eye-rolls from others. A Storyline That Refuses to Stay Glossy Dhadak 2 is no run-of-the-mill college romance. R...

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 25: Bollywood never goes slow on biopics. From sports persons to politicians, freedom fighters to movie stars, the screen has been fertile soil for lives bigger than life. The newest addition to this genre is Ajey: The Untold Story of a Yogi, a filmic interpretation of the life of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Though the project’s ambition is to be applauded, the film itself appears to be struggling with the resultant heavy burden of expectation, political baggage, and the ever-exacting box office. And yes, as you were wondering, the numbers are out. With a first-weekend total of little more than ₹1 crore, the Monday numbers for the film plunged precipitously, attracting just ₹14 lakh. For a production of this size — allegedly budgete...

New Delhi [India], September 24: If anyone still thought that K-pop’s global sway was just about catchy beats, synchronized choreography, and perfectly styled idols, Netflix just handed them a flaming sword of evidence to the contrary. Enter K-Pop Demon Hunters — an animated spectacle that has not only dethroned every other animated title on the platform but has marched right into the hall of fame as Netflix’s most popular animated film of all time. Yes, you read that right. Forget talking animals and Disney-style princesses; it seems the future of animated dominance involves sequins, supernatural brawls, and a dance break or two. Of course, with great popularity comes great scrutiny. For every fan making fancams of demon-slaying K-pop idols, there’s a critic whispering, “Maybe the glitter...
