Lokah Box Office: Kalyani Priyadarshan’s Superhero Film Crosses ₹100 Crore, Sets Record

Mollywood’s latest superhero spectacle, Lokah, is rewriting box office history! The Kalyani Priyadarshan-starrer has stormed past the ₹100 crore mark, becoming South India’s first female-led film to achieve this milestone. Even more impressively, it is now the third fastest Malayalam film to enter the 100 crore club.

Directed and written by Dominic Arun, the film delivers a gripping narrative with grand visuals, proving that it stands tall despite being made on a controlled budget. The Telugu and Tamil dubbed versions are also performing well, adding to the film’s pan-Indian appeal.

Now, all eyes are on September 4, 2025, when Lokah makes its much-awaited Hindi debut in theatres.

The movie also delights fans with surprise cameos from Tovino Thomas, Sunny Wayne, and Dulquer Salmaan, while Sandy Master takes on the villain’s role. With Jakes Bejoy’s pulsating music and Dulquer Salmaan’s slick production values, Lokah has turned into one of the most polished and celebrated Malayalam films in recent times.

Anushka Shetty’s Ghaati vs Little Hearts: Sweety’s Big Return Sparks Box Office Clash

After a long break, Anushka Shetty is making her much-awaited comeback to the silver screen with Ghaati, directed by Krish Jagarlamudi. The action-packed thriller is expected to revive the box office and bring back Sweety’s magic. But the film won’t have a solo run — it will face competition from the small yet promising film Little Hearts, starring Mouli and Sivani.

With Anushka’s star power and Krish’s strong following, Ghaati naturally has the edge. The trailer has already struck a chord, and family audiences, especially women, are keen to see Anushka back in action on the big screen.

On the other hand, Little Hearts is primarily targeted at youth and Gen Z audiences. If Ghaati fails to impress with word of mouth, Little Hearts could surprisingly gain ground. Recent trends show that strong content from small films can outshine big-budget releases with weak scripts, making this clash even more intriguing.

Adding to the excitement, Siva Karthikeyan’s dubbing film Madharaasi is also hitting theatres on September 5, turning the weekend into a busy box office race.

In the end, audiences may get a variety of choices — a star-driven action drama, a youthful entertainer, and a dubbed Tamil flick — making this a true test of content vs star power.

Pawan Kalyan’s OG USA Premieres Gross $900K in Pre-Sales

Pawan Kalyan’s They Call Him OG Smashes Pre-Sales in USA, Clocks $900K Already.

Pawan Kalyan’s upcoming action drama They Call Him OG is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated Telugu films of the year. Ever since its announcement, the buzz has been sky-high, and the hype multiplied after the makers released the teaser on September 2, 2023, coinciding with Pawan Kalyan’s birthday.

The film’s bookings in the USA have now taken social media by storm. As of now, over 29,000 tickets have been sold for premiere shows, grossing nearly $900K. With more than three weeks to go before the premiere on September 24, trade experts predict record-breaking numbers at the North American box office.

No “Fake Hype” – Here’s Why OG is Trending Big in the USA

A few critics claimed that the extraordinary pre-sales might be the result of bulk bookings. However, industry experts dismiss these as baseless. Multiple factors are driving the success of OG’s pre-sales:

  • Genuine Hype: The teaser, posters, and songs have struck a chord not only with Pawan Kalyan’s massive fan base but also with regular moviegoers. Many believe this is his most-awaited film since Agnyaathavaasi (2018).

  • Smart Distribution: Distributor Prathyangira Cinemas secured a record number of premium screenings—450+ shows across XD/PLF/RPX formats—the highest ever for a Telugu film in the USA.

  • Premium Pricing Power: Ticket prices for premieres are $25 (standard) and $30 (XD screens), and fans are showing a clear preference for premium formats.

  • Post-COVID Trends: Telugu audiences in the USA now flock to theatres only for films with strong organic buzz, and OG perfectly fits that bill.

Comparisons and Box Office History

Some comparisons have been drawn between OG and Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu, but trade experts argue this is misleading. Hype and timing play a crucial role—just as Rajinikanth’s Coolie collected over $3M from premieres due to strong buzz, while Lal Salaam and Vettaiyan underperformed despite star power.

Pawan Kalyan already holds impressive overseas records. His Agnyaathavaasi still holds the premiere day record in the USA, with over $ 1.5 million in revenue for a single-language Indian film. Even Bheemla Nayak—a remake—grossed nearly $900 in premieres post-COVID.

With 22 days to go before its premiere, They Call Him OG is on track to shatter multiple Telugu premiere records in North America, reaffirming Pawan Kalyan’s unmatched stardom overseas.

Krish Reveals Unseen Action Scenes from Hari Hara Veera Mallu Featuring Pawan Kalyan

Krish Reveals Unseen Action Sequences and Unreleased Footage from Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu

Despite high expectations, Pawan Kalyan’s debut PAN-India film Hari Hara Veera Mallu (HHVM) failed to make a mark at the box office. The movie, which was initially helmed by acclaimed director Krish Jagarlamudi, went through several production changes before being handed over to Jyothi Krishna, following Krish’s exit.

In a recent interview during the promotions of his upcoming film Ghaati, Krish opened up about his original vision for HHVM and shared key details about the unreleased portions of the film.

“The majority of the scenes I shot take place in the Delhi Darbaar. We created a massive set at Annapurna Studios and shot an extravagant action sequence featuring Pawan Kalyan swinging from a chandelier. Around 40 minutes of high-quality footage has been reserved for the second part,” said Krish.

He went on to describe a jaw-dropping sequence where Pawan Kalyan’s character enters Aurangzeb’s court, boldly stands on the Mughal emperor’s throne, and steals the Kohinoor diamond.

“Pawan Kalyan Garu performed remarkable stunts in these scenes. There’s still a lot of spectacular footage that the audience hasn’t seen. I poured my love and admiration for Pawan Garu into every frame I shot,” he added.

Though the final theatrical version didn’t live up to expectations, these revelations have reignited curiosity among fans, particularly about the second part and whether the unseen sequences might eventually be released.
