BY SACNILK

Netflix South has set the stage for an electrifying year, pulling back the curtain on its star-dusted Tamil movie slate for 2026. In what has become an exciting Pongal tradition, the streaming giant has revealed a lineup brimming with the industry's biggest names, visionary directors, and stories that promise to captivate audiences both locally and globally. Featuring multiple projects from superstars Suriya and Dhanush, and eagerly awaited films from Karthi and Jayam Ravi, this announcement signals a massive year for Tamil cinema on the global stage. Following their theatrical runs, these films will be available exclusively on Netflix. 1.S 46 - Suriya The buzz around this film is palpable, as it pairs the formidable Suriya with Telugu director Venky Atluri. Titled 'S 46' for now, the project is touted as a grand family entertainer, and the inclusion of Premalu fame Mamitha Baiju has only amplified the anticipation. The film delves into the unique relationship between a 45-year-old business tycoon, played by Suriya, and a 20-year-old young woman, portrayed by Mamitha Baiju. Suriya is set to embody a rich, intense character, with reports suggesting his portrayal will have shades reminiscent of his iconic Sanjay Ramaswamy role from Ghajini. However, the narrative aims to move beyond a sensational romance, focusing instead on themes of companionship, emotional maturity, and mentorship. Described as a proper happy family film.Produced by Naga Vamsi of Sithara Entertainments in collaboration with Fortune Four Cinemas, the film is expected to hit theaters in the summer of 2026. 2.S 47 - Suriya Suriya continues his double domination of the slate with his 47th film, teaming up with Aavesham-fame director Jithu Madhavan for what is being described as a quirky action-comedy thriller. This project will see Suriya returning to the khaki uniform as a steely police officer who, after being suspended for failing to catch a suspect, moves to Kerala to pursue the case. The exciting twist is that he is accompanied by an incompetent team, setting the stage for a narrative aptly described as a serious crime hunt with a not-so-serious team. The film promises a unique blend of intense, action-packed crime-thriller elements with a comedic tone, focusing on cultural conflicts and chaotic situations. Joining Suriya are Nazriya Nazim as the female lead and Naslen, who makes his much-anticipated Tamil debut in a pivotal role. Produced by Zhagaram Studios and Jyotika, with music by the acclaimed Sushin Shyam, the film officially went on floors in December 2025, making it one of the most keenly watched productions on the list. 3.Marshal - Karthi Karthi is set to star in Marshal, a highly anticipated pirate-themed period action-adventure. The film will be helmed by director Tamizh, who received critical acclaim for his hard-hitting debut, Taanakkaran. Set against the unique backdrop of Rameswaram in the 1960s and 70s, the narrative will focus on a gripping tale of power, rebellion, and transformation involving sea pirates. This project promises to blend intense action, drama, and escapism in a setting that is refreshingly new for Tamil cinema. Produced by the renowned Dream Warrior Pictures, the film boasts a large ensemble cast that includes Kalyani Priyadarshan, Sathyaraj, and Prabhu. Production is actively ongoing, with major schedules already completed in locations like Trichy and Rameswaram. 4.Kara - Dhanush After the phenomenal success of Karnan, the announcement of any Dhanush film creates waves, and his 54th film, now officially titled Kara, is no exception. This film sees Dhanush joining forces with Vignesh Raja, the director of the acclaimed thriller Por Thozhil, for what is being described as a high-octane action entertainer and a raw and gritty suspense thriller. The story, described as a violent survival drama, focuses on Dhanush's character, Karasaami, who is pushed to the edge and must navigate a dangerous path to protect his loved ones, seemingly paying the price for his past actions. The film's intense glimpse and its tagline, Sometimes staying dangerous is the only way to stay alive, strongly suggest a narrative driven by the theme of karma. The film features a powerful ensemble cast including Mamitha Baiju as the female lead, alongside KS Ravikumar, Jayaram, Suraj Venjaramoodu, Karunas, and Prithvi Pandiarajan, with music by the acclaimed GV Prakash Kumar.

After some changes behind the scenes, the film is now being produced by Wunderbar Studios. With music rumored to be composed by Sai Abhyankkar, this action-packed venture is slated for a 2026 release, and the prospect of seeing the electric on-screen chemistry between Dhanush and Sai Pallavi once again has made it one of the most eagerly awaited films in this lineup. 6.Bro Code - Jayam Ravi Jayam Ravi stars in Bro Code, an upcoming action-comedy directed by Karthik Yogi, known for his work on Dikkiloona. Marking his debut as a producer under his new banner, Ravi Mohan Studios, Jayam Ravi has assembled a powerhouse cast, starring alongside the versatile S.J. Suryah and acclaimed Malayalam actor Arjun Ashokan. The film has already generated significant buzz with its unique Speak Easy promotional style, which hints at a narrative centered on male perspectives within marriage, friendship, and rebellion. The impressive ensemble also includes Shraddha Srinath, Gouri Priya, and noted Marathi actor Upendra Limaye, with music composed by Harshavardhan Rameshwar. 7.Idhayam Murali - Atharva Atharva takes the lead in Idhayam Murali, a film that beautifully borrows its title from his father, the beloved actor Murali, promising a heartfelt love story with a nostalgic feel. The project is a romantic-drama directed by Aakash Baskaran, with celebrated music composer S. Thaman handling the score.

Produced under Ravi Mohan's own banner, Ravi Mohan Studios, the film is a comedy centered on an ordinary man's first-ever trip abroad. Director Ravi Mohan has shared that the core idea was sparked by Yogi Babu's simple, everyday look, inspiring a story about finding the extraordinary within the ordinary. The plot is expected to be a laugh riot, creating a classic fish-out-of-water scenario as Yogi Babu's character navigates the challenges and humorous situations of international travel. The project is highly anticipated as it will showcase Yogi Babu's extensive acting range in a pivotal, character-driven role, promising a story that is both relatable and hilarious. 10.AGS 28 - Arjun Action King Arjun Sarja headlines this project from the renowned production house AGS Entertainment, tentatively titled AGS 28. The film is a family entertainer that skillfully blends action with drama, centering on a family trained to protect the vulnerable who become a dangerous force against their oppressors.

Top 5 A-Rated Indian Films At Worldwide Box Office: Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar Tops The Chart

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, December 25 - Indian cinema has seen big results at the box office over the last few years, with many films crossing the 500 crores milestone. It used to be a rarity before the COVID pandemic, but with audiences craving for big-ticket entertainers with solid theatrical appeal, the milestone is no longer out of reach. While crossing the half-billion mark might not be a big ask anymore, films with A-ratings have always walked a tightrope at the box office. With restricted audiences, limited family footfalls, and often polarising themes, breaking records in the adult-certified space is no easy feat. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Yet, every once in a while, a film comes along that defies the odds, rewriting the rules of what an A-rated Indian film can achieve commercially. Well, this has happened a few times over the last couple of years, where multiple A-rated titles achieved big success at the box office, proving that audiences are ready to embrace such films if they are worthy of their time and money. Here are the top 5 highest-grossing Indian films at the worldwide box office - 1. Dhurandhar (Hindi, 2025) - 944+ crore (20 days) Director - Aditya Dhar Starring - Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi Still in theatres and still breathing fire, Dhurandhar is rewriting the narrative in real time. Powered by ferocious performances, raw action, and an uncompromising tone, the film has already crossed massive global milestones by becoming the all-time biggest A-rated grosser. It is now marching towards 1000 crores gross milestone. 2. Animal (Hindi, 2023) - 915 crore Director - Sandeep Reddy Vanga Starring - Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Violent, divisive, and relentless, the action drama rooted in father-son sentiments, Animal, went against the regular filmmaking and bulldozed its way to the top with an unprecedented worldwide gross, proving that controversy can fuel commerce when executed with scale and conviction. It remains the gold standard for A-rated dominance. 3. Salaar Part 1: Ceasefire (Telugu, 2023) - 618 crores Director - Prashanth Neel Starring - Prabhas, Prithviraj Sukumara, Shruti Haasan A dark, violent, and thunderous action spectacle, Salaar: Ceasefire was largely believed to have underperformed at the box office despite big numbers. However, despite its A-rating, the Prabhas-led film stormed the worldwide box office, driven by massive openings across multiple territories and sustained mass appeal. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 4. Coolie (Tamil, 2025) - 518 crores Director - Lokesh Kanagaraj Starring - Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna, Shruti Haasan, Upendra, Aamir Khan The film surprised with its adult-rating, which eventually proved to be a roadblock for its overall potential. Coolie, headlined by superstar Rajinikanth, combined raw storytelling with commercial sensibilities. The film received mixed word of mouth, which helped it to cross the 500 crores milestone. 5. Kabir Singh (Hindi, 2019) - 377 crores Director - Sandeep Reddy Vanga Starring - Shahid Kapoor, Kiara Advani The film that changed the game before the era of mega-scale A-rated actioners. Kabir Singh thrived on its obsessive romance, flawed protagonist, and intense emotional pitch, becoming the highest-grossing adult-certified film of its time and laying the foundation for what followed. S. No. Movie India Gross Collection Overseas Collection Worldwide Collection 1 Dhurandhar (2025) 729.00 crore 215.00 crore 944.00 crore 2 Animal (2023) 660.00 crore 255.00 crore 915.00 crore 3 Salaar: Ceasefire (2023) 488.00 crore 130.00 crore 618.00 crore 4 Coolie (2025) 337.50 crore 180.50 crore 518.00 crore 5 Kabir Singh (2019) 330.00 crore 47.00 crore 377.00 crore Note: Data as of December 24, 2025.

Kichcha Sudeep's Mark vs Shivarajkumar and Upendra's 45 Set for a Christmas 2025 Box Office Clash

BY SACNILK

The date December 25, 2025, is poised to become a defining moment for the Kannada Film Industry as it witnesses a colossal box office clash between two Pan-India juggernauts. In a rare cinematic event, four of Sandalwood’s most celebrated Powerhouse heroes—Shivarajkumar, Upendra, Raj B. Shetty, and Kichcha Sudeep are arriving together to set the screens on fire. This high stakes face off isn't just about box office dominance; it is a celebration of the industry's diversity, pitting a high-octane action thriller against a philosophical mass entertainer, with verified release strategies that signal a massive takeover of the South Indian market. Leading the charge is MARK, a high-voltage action thriller starring Baadshah Kichcha Sudeep. The film marks the much-anticipated reunion of the actor with director Vijay Kartikeyaa, a combination that previously delivered the 2024 Christmas release Max. While Max was a massive production with a budget of ₹65 Crores, it collected approximately ₹57.3 Crores worldwide; yet, it still held the significant distinction of being the Highest Grossing Film of the Year (HGOTY) in Kannada cinema for that year. Riding on this star power, Mark features Sudeep as Ajay Markandeya, a police officer fighting an intense 18-hour deadline to rescue kidnapped children.Strategically, the producers are planning a Simultaneous Tamil Release on December 25, aiming to capitalize on the holiday crowds in both Karnataka and Tamil Nadu instantly. On the other side of the ring is the uniquely ambitious 45, which marks the directorial debut of the Magical Composer Arjun Janya. This film has generated immense hype for its Dream Cast, bringing together the legendary Shivarajkumar and Upendra alongside the new-age sensation Raj B. Shetty. Unlike a standard commercial potboiler, 45 delves into the philosophical concept of the 45 days after death a moral world where every action is counted. The verified intrigue around the film has skyrocketed with glimpses of Shivarajkumar in Bharatanatyam attire, promising a content driven spectacle. While the Kannada version clashes directly with Mark on Christmas, the distribution strategy for the Tamil Dubbed Version is reportedly targeting a New Year 2026 (Jan 1) release. This calculated move allows the film to build momentum through word of mouth before hitting the neighboring market. The box office stakes are incredibly high when analyzing the This Year track record of these stars. Raj B. Shetty enters this clash as the dark horse with massive momentum; his July 2025 release, Su From So, was a verified surprise blockbuster, shattering records to join the ₹100 Crore club globally. His presence adds significant weight to 45. With Mark expected to open significantly higher due to the sequel-like hype of the director-actor combo. Shivarajkumar and Upendra are also looking to bounce back to blockbuster ways. Ultimately, this clash serves as the perfect storm for the industry. If the word-of-mouth clicks for both films, the Kannada industry is set to dominate the festive season. Mark is positioned as the safe bet for action lovers and mass audiences, while 45 stands as the Wild Card that could rewrite records if Arjun Janya's unique vision connects. With no major Tamil releases scheduled for the Christmas weekend, this dual assault by Sandalwood's biggest stars is set to dominate not just the home ground but potentially the Tamil box office as well, making verified history as one of the biggest days for Kannada cinema.

Year Ender 2025: Top 10 Kollywood Films by Box Office Performance

BY SACNILK

It's a wrap on 2025, and the Kollywood box office has set new benchmarks with a HUGE cumulative total from its top contenders. The ten highest-grossing films of the year alone have raked in over ₹ 1600 crores worldwide, signaling a massively successful run for the industry. While Coolie led this charge with a historic ₹ 518 Cr, the year also saw a healthy number of films crossing the coveted ₹ 100 crore milestone, including GoodBadUgly, Dragon, Vidaamuyarchi and Dude. From big-ticket action extravaganzas to unique concepts, the audience has given a clear verdict. Here's a deep dive into the top 10 Tamil films that made the biggest impact at the box office in 2025. table td { word-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word; } @media (max-width: 480px) { table td:first-child { width: 40% !important; /* give more breathing room */ } } Coolie Director Lokesh Kanagaraj Lead Cast Superstar Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna Akkineni, Soubin Shahir, Upendra, Shruti Haasan, Sathyaraj, Aamir Khan Worldwide Gross ₹ 518 Cr Verdict Commercial Success Check Out the Day-Wise Box Office Breakdown → When his friend is murdered by a ruthless smuggling syndicate, a former union leader named Deva is forced to confront his violent past and infiltrate the gang to protect his friend's daughter and expose a global human trafficking ring. The story of Coolie's box office is one of two halves. The primary driver for its No. 1 spot was the explosive combination of Rajinikanth's unparalleled star power and Lokesh Kanagaraj's modern filmmaking style, which guaranteed a historic opening weekend. However, the film's biggest hurdle was its own monumental budget. A collection of ₹518 Cr, while huge, was not enough to generate the theatrical profits needed for a clean Hit or Blockbuster tag. In essence, Coolie was a front-loaded success—a commercial win for its producers thanks to pre-release deals, but a theatrical performer that couldn't fully outrun its massive cost. Good Bad Ugly Director Adhik Ravichandran Lead Cast Ajith Kumar, Arjun Das, Trisha Krishnan Worldwide Gross ₹ 248.25 Cr Verdict Hit Check Out the Day-Wise Box Office Breakdown → The plot centers on Ajith Kumar, a retired and notorious gangster known as Red Dragon, who is forced to return to his violent past after his son is wrongfully framed and arrested in Spain. The film's impressive ₹250 Cr worldwide collection stands as a strong testament to Ajith Kumar’s enduring star power. His ability to pull massive audiences ensured the film debuted high on the year-end charts. Powered by solid pre-release buzz and a strong fan following, the movie enjoyed a successful overall run and is regarded as a clear hit. Dragon Director Ashwath Marimuthu Lead Cast Pradeep Ranganathan, Anupama Parameswaran, Kayadu Lohar Worldwide Gross ₹ 150.52 Cr Verdict Blockbuster Check Out the Day-Wise Box Office Breakdown → After being branded a failure by his ex-girlfriend, Ragavan uses forged documents to secure a high-paying job. This deception allows him to live a seemingly successful life until his actions lead to a former classmate's misfortune. Overwhelmed by guilt, Ragavan confesses the truth, goes to prison, and upon release, rebuilds his life honestly as a food delivery agent, ultimately finding redemption and true love. While the top two spots on the list are held by industry titans, the story of the year's most profitable and resounding success belongs to Dragon. Collecting over four times its budget, the film is a bonafide Blockbuster. Vidaamuyarchi Director Magizh Thirumeni Lead Cast Ajith Kumar, Trisha Krishnan, Arjun Sarja, Regina Cassandra Worldwide Gross ₹ 135.65 Cr Verdict Flop Check Out the Day-Wise Box Office Breakdown → Vidaamuyarchi is a thriller about a couple, Arjun and Kayal, whose road trip in Azerbaijan to visit Kayal's parents turns terrifying when she is abducted after a car breakdown. The film follows Arjun as he navigates a dangerous journey to rescue his wife, facing deception and a ruthless gang along the way. While Vidaamuyarchi landed in the year's top 5 thanks to Ajith Kumar's massive opening, it was a significant commercial failure. Its colossal budget of over ₹225 Cr dwarfed its final ₹135.65 Cr collection, leading to substantial losses. The film failed to sustain its run beyond the initial fan-fueled weekend, as negative word-of-mouth about a convoluted screenplay halted its momentum. Dude Director Keerthiswaran Lead Cast Pradeep Ranganathan, Mamitha Baiju, R. Sarathkumar Worldwide Gross ₹ 113.25 Cr Verdict Blockbuster Check Out the Day-Wise Box Office Breakdown → Dude is a romantic comedy about cousins Agan and Kural, whose relationship is complicated when Agan confesses his love for Kural, but then an arranged marriage for Kural with someone else throws their lives into chaos. Agan must then decide between his own love for Kural and Kural's happiness. The year 2025 will be remembered for the phenomenal rise of Pradeep Ranganathan, and Dude is the film that cemented his status as the industry's new golden boy. Following the massive success of Dragon, this film proved his box office draw was no fluke. Collecting nearly four times its modest budget, Dude is another resounding Blockbuster, making Pradeep the only actor of the year to deliver two such profitable ventures. Madharaasi Director A. R. Murugadoss Lead Cast Sivakarthikeyan, Rukmini Vasanth, Vidyut Jammwal Worldwide Gross ₹ 98.48 Cr Verdict Flop Check Out the Day-Wise Box Office Breakdown → An NIA officer recruits Raghuram, a suicidal man suffering from Fregoli delusion, to infiltrate a gun-smuggling syndicate. The film blends high-octane action with Raghuram's psychological struggle as he is manipulated into stopping a dangerous crime lord. Despite the powerhouse combo of A.R. Murugadoss and Sivakarthikeyan, Madharaasi collapsed under its massive ₹180 Cr budget. Failing to cross even the ₹100 Cr mark, it stands as a major commercial disaster, proving that big names cannot save a project when the costs outweigh the content's appeal. Thug Life Director Mani Ratnam Lead Cast Kamal Haasan, Silambarasan TR, Trisha Krishnan Worldwide Gross ₹ 97.25 Cr Verdict Flop Check Out the Day-Wise Box Office Breakdown → Presumed dead, notorious mafia kingpin Rangaraya Sakthivel returns to confront a violent past involving his brother and his adopted son, Amar. The narrative explores a complex father-son dynamic driven by power, betrayal, and revenge. The highly anticipated reunion of the Nayakan duo, Mani Ratnam and Kamal Haasan, turned into a colossal box office disaster. Burdened by an astronomical ₹250 Cr budget, the film failed to cross even the ₹100 Cr mark. Despite a star-studded cast including Simbu and Trisha, the film faced outright rejection from the audience. Idly Kadai Director Dhanush Lead Cast Dhanush, Nithya Menen, Arun Vijay, Shalini Pandey Worldwide Gross ₹ 71.86 Cr Verdict Hit Check Out the Day-Wise Box Office Breakdown → Murugan, a third-generation vendor, fights to protect his family's humble legacy, Sivanesan's Idli Kadai, when a corporate gourmet chain opens across the street. It is a battle of tradition and dignity against aggressive commercialism in a small hill town. Dhanush's fourth directorial venture earned strong critical praise for its grounded storytelling and also performed decently at the box office. Despite its steep ₹100 Cr budget, the film’s ₹71.86 Cr gross ensured a respectable run driven by word of mouth. It stands as a well-made film that found its audience and delivered a fair commercial outcome. Retro Director Karthik Subbaraj Lead Cast Suriya, Pooja Hegde Worldwide Gross ₹ 96.97 Cr Verdict Commercial Success Check Out the Day-Wise Box Office Breakdown → Set in the 1990s, former enforcer Paari attempts to leave his violent past behind for a peaceful life with his wife. However, when his history catches up to him, he is forced into exile on a remote island, where he eventually embraces his fighting skills to save the locals from a tyrant. Despite the exciting pairing of Suriya and Karthik Subbaraj, Retro underperformed at the box office. With a modest ₹60 Cr budget, the film grossed ₹96.97 Cr, falling just short of the ₹100 Cr milestone. While the controlled budget prevented a financial disaster, the theatrical returns were minimal for investors. Tourist Family Director Abishan Jeevinth Lead Cast Sasikumar, Simran Worldwide Gross ₹ 86.25 Cr Verdict Blockbuster Check Out the Day-Wise Box Office Breakdown → A Sri Lankan family living illegally in India attempts to build a new life while evading authorities. Their fresh start is threatened when a past connection to a bombing resurfaces, jeopardizing their acceptance in the neighborhood. The Sleeper Hit That Stole the Show - The year's most profitable venture, earning over ₹86 Cr on a meager ₹7 Cr budget. Relying purely on glowing word-of-mouth rather than star power, this grounded drama proved that compelling storytelling and strong performances can triumph over high-budget spectacles.

Andhra King Taluka Day 1 : Post Weakest Opening for Ram Pothineni in Years; Fails to Match Skanda and Double iSmart

BY SACNILK

The wait for a massive turnaround for Ustaad Ram Pothineni continues. His latest emotional drama, Andhra King Taluka, released yesterday (Thursday) to a lukewarm reception at the ticket windows. Despite a fresh combination with director Mahesh Babu P and the presence of Kannada superstar Upendra, the film’s opening day numbers have fallen significantly short of the actor’s recent standards. According to early estimates, Andhra King Taluka collected a net of ₹4.25 Crore in India on its first day (Thursday). While these numbers would be decent for a mid-range film, they are alarming for a star of Ram’s stature, especially when compared to his previous openers. The film has failed to generate the "mass frenzy" usually associated with his releases. To put the current performance into perspective, a comparison with Ram Pothineni’s recent releases reveals a concerning downward trend in his initial theatrical pull. While his previous outing Skanda registered a massive opening of ₹13.6 crore gross, followed by Double iSmart with a moderate start of ₹8.4 crore gross, Andhra King Taluka has opened significantly lower. With an estimated gross of roughly ₹5.2 crore (derived from the ₹4.25 crore net figures), the film’s opening numbers are approximately 60% lower than Skanda and trail significantly behind Double iSmart, indicating a sharp decline in day-one dominance. Trade analysts suggest the drop in numbers could be due to the film’s significant genre shift. Unlike Ram Pothineni’s previous high-octane mass actioners like Skanda and Double iSmart, Andhra King Taluka is pitched as an emotional biopic of a fan, a theme that may not have immediately resonated with the mass audience. Directed by Mahesh Babu P (of Miss Shetty Mr Polishetty fame), the film features Bhagyashri Borse as the female lead and music by the duo Vivek-Mervin. The plot follows the journey of Sagar (Ram Pothineni), a die-hard fan whose life revolves around a fictional superstar named Surya Kumar, played by Kannada star Upendra, shifting the focus from typical commercial elevations to a more grounded, character-driven narrative. Early word of mouth is mixed to positive but lacks blockbuster euphoria. While audiences are praising Ram Pothineni’s grounded performance and his emotional dynamic with Upendra, the slow pacing and absence of commercial high moments have reportedly disappointed the core mass audience expecting his usual high-energy actioners. With an opening of ₹4.25 Crore Net, Andhra King Taluka has a runway to build momentum over the coming days. The Thursday release provides a strategic advantage in the form of an extended weekend, offering ample time for the film to grow. If the emotional content resonates with the audience as expected, the movie is well-positioned to capitalize on the holiday stretch and see an upward trend in collections.

The story dives into the intense world of fan culture, with Ram Pothineni playing a die-hard fan of a superstar played by Kannada icon Upendra. Director Mahesh Babu P is coming off the fresh success of Miss Shetty Mr Polishetty, but this film marks a shift to pure mass commercial cinema.The presence of Upendra in a full-fledged role adds significant weight, likely drawing large crowds in the Karnataka border regions as well. Not All Movies Are The Same: Dual Release Date: November 28, 2025 Director:Suresh Sagiraju Language: Telugu Cast:Akshaj Sagiraju, Kushi Pillala A genre-bending sci-fi thriller.

School Life Release Date: November 28, 2025 Director: Pulivendula Mahesh Language: Telugu Cast: Pulivendula Mahesh, Savithri Krishna, Suman A nostalgic drama focusing on high school romance and friendship.

Maarnami Release Date: November 28, 2025 Director:Rishith Shetty Language: Kannada Cast:Ritvvikk Mathad, Chaithra J Achar Set against the vibrant backdrop of the Coastal Dasara (Maarnami) festivities, this film is a cultural drama in the vein of Kantara.Chaithra J Achar: The actress is on a winning streak (after Sapta Sagaradaache Ello and Toby), and her choice of scripts is currently seen as a seal of quality in Kannada cinema. GST (Ghost in Trouble) Release Date: November 28, 2025 Director:Srujan Lokesh Language: Kannada Cast:Srujan Lokesh, Rajini Bharadwaj, Girija Lokesh Popular TV host and actor Srujan Lokesh returns to the big screen with a horror-comedy.
