Shiva Rajkumar, Upendra & Raj B. Shetty Unite for Fantasy Action Drama 45, New Release Date Announced

The much-awaited Kannada fantasy action drama 45 brings together three powerhouse performers—Shiva Rajkumar, Upendra, and Raj B. Shetty—in lead roles. The film also marks the directorial debut of celebrated music composer and singer Arjun Janya, making it one of the most talked-about projects in Sandalwood.

Originally slated for release on August 15, 2025, the film was postponed due to delays in post-production. However, fans now have reason to cheer, as Shiva Rajkumar officially announced that 45 will hit theatres worldwide on December 25, 2025, as a grand Christmas release. Interestingly, no other major Kannada film has yet been announced for the festive date, giving 45 a strong solo run at the box office.

A Pan-India Release with Tough Competition

While the film is set for a massive PAN-India release, it will face stiff competition in other industries. In the Telugu market, Adivi Sesh’s Dacoit is eyeing the same festive window, while in Hindi, Alia Bhatt’s Alpha will be locking horns with 45.

A Story Rooted in Faith & Philosophy

Reports suggest that the inspiration behind 45 comes from the personal tragedy of Arjun Janya, who lost his brother during the COVID-19 pandemic. The movie is said to revolve around the 45 days after a person’s death, a crucial phase in Sanatana Dharma that decides whether the soul moves to the afterlife or is reborn.

Produced by Ramesh Reddy under the Suraj Productions banner, 45 promises to blend spirituality, fantasy, and high-octane action into an unforgettable cinematic experience.

Mahavatar Narsimha Box Office: Animated Epic Races Past ₹278 Cr Worldwide, Demand Surges Again

The animated spectacle Mahavatar Narsimha is rewriting box office history and leaving trade experts stunned. At a time when big-ticket releases are struggling, this mythological epic is the only film in recent months to deliver profits for all stakeholders.

The Hindi version is driving the juggernaut, collecting over ₹160 crore nett, while the Telugu dubbed version has also turned into a blockbuster, cementing the film’s pan-India success.

Box Office Surge

According to the latest official update, Mahavatar Narsimha has grossed over ₹ 278 crore worldwide. Initially, the film’s showcase was reduced to just 1,300 shows per day with the arrival of Coolie and War 2. However, as those biggies failed to meet expectations, demand for Mahavatar Narsimha skyrocketed once again.

Now, the film is reportedly set to play in nearly 5,000 shows per day across India, proving its unstoppable momentum even weeks after release.

Overseas Impact

The Telugu version is also on course to achieve a major milestone, with collections inching closer to the $1 million mark in North America. This reinforces the film’s global appeal and the audience’s appetite for mythological storytelling in an animated format.

With strong word of mouth and repeat footfalls, Mahavatar Narsimha continues its dream run, making it one of the biggest success stories of 2025.

Fahadh Faasil & Vadivelu’s Maareesan Now Streaming on Netflix

After sharing the screen in Maamannan and Nayakudu, versatile star Fahadh Faasil and legendary comedian Vadivelu teamed up once again for the drama-thriller Maareesan, directed by Sudheesh Sankar.

Ramayana Movie: Ranbir Kapoor’s ₹4,000 Cr Magnum Opus Aiming for Global Impact

0

Ramayana – A Global Dream Project of Indian Cinema

Ramayana is currently one of the most ambitious projects in Hindi cinema. Starring Ranbir Kapoor in the lead role and directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film is being produced by Namit Malhotra’s Prime Focus Studios with a staggering budget of ₹4,000 crore for two parts.

Interestingly, producer Namit Malhotra emphasized that Ramayana is not just being made for Indian audiences but also for the global stage. “It should speak to you like any other film,” he said, stressing that the story must connect with viewers in the West as well.

Malhotra described Ramayana as a film that will resonate beyond cultural and religious boundaries, appealing equally to believers and non-believers. He even drew bold comparisons with Hollywood epics such as Avatar, Gladiator, and the works of Christopher Nolan, setting expectations sky-high.

Making a powerful statement, the producer added, “If people in the West don’t like it, I consider that a failure. It is meant for the world. If you don’t like it, shame on me; we should have done a better job.”

With such ambition and vision, Ramayana is shaping up to be not just a film, but a global cinematic event.

Mahavatar Narsimha Box Office: Nears ₹300 Cr Worldwide, War 2 & Coolie Struggle to Survive

0

Mahavatar Narsimha Storms the Box Office

Mahavatar Narsimha is turning out to be nothing short of a magical ride at the box office. The film has been performing exceptionally well ever since its release, and its momentum is only growing stronger by the day. Starting with just 1,200 shows on August 14th, the film has now expanded to a staggering 4,600+ shows nationwide. With its unstoppable run, Mahavatar Narsimha is on the verge of entering the prestigious ₹300 Cr worldwide gross club.

This juggernaut has made survival extremely tough for other biggies like War 2 and Coolie, both of which hit theatres during the Independence Day weekend. Unfortunately, neither film managed to impress audiences. While Coolie secured some decent openings, War 2 quickly slipped into disaster talk.

The current weekend will be crucial for both films. Coolie still has a fighting chance to achieve breakeven in select territories if it performs well on Saturday and Sunday. War 2, however, is staring at a bleak future in the South, especially in Telugu states, where it has been branded a flop. Its only hope lies in the Hindi belt, where some traction might help recover partial losses.

Meanwhile, moviegoers are left disappointed with the lack of strong content either in theatres or on OTT this weekend. Yet, once again, the success of Mahavatar Narsimha proves a golden truth—only powerful content and positive word of mouth can pull crowds back to theatres.
