Ghaati vs Little Hearts – The Clash
After a gap, Anushka Shetty is making her grand return to the big screen with Ghaati, directed by Krish Jagarlamudi. The action thriller is riding high on buzz and is expected to revive the dull box office phase. However, it faces competition from the small yet promising Little Hearts, starring Mouli and Sivani.
While the natural choice for most audiences will be Ghaati, especially given Anushka’s stardom and Krish’s strong following, Little Hearts carries the potential to surprise if it manages to win audiences with strong word of mouth.
Audience Dynamics
-
Ghaati is poised to pull in family audiences and Anushka’s massive fanbase, with its action-drama appeal and emotional storyline.
-
Little Hearts targets youth and Gen Z viewers, offering content reminiscent of shows like Amrutham and 90s on ETV Win.
This means both films may end up satisfying different sections of the audience.
The Underdog Factor
Recent trends in Tollywood have shown that content-driven small films sometimes outshine big star vehicles with weak narratives. If Little Hearts manages to strike the right emotional chord, it could carve a successful run alongside Ghaati.
The Third Entrant
Adding more spice to the clash, Sivakarthikeyan’s dubbed film Madharaasi is also hitting the theatres on September 5, 2025, making it a three-way race.
