Those words carried more truth than pressure ever could. Moved by her sincerity, Rajasekhar chose Jeevitha, and the two went on to become one of the industry’s most enduring and respected couples. Sometimes, love does not argue. It simply stands firm.

Michael Smashes Records in India; South Leads the Charge!

The King of Pop’s biopic, Michael, has struck a thunderous chord at the Indian box office. Based on the life of Michael Jackson, the film has emerged as the biggest Hollywood opener in India among musical biopics. Trade reports peg its 3-day weekend gross at around Rs. 20 crore, comfortably surpassing Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour and Bohemian Rhapsody.

The film’s first weekend nett stands at approximately Rs. 16.5 crore. South Indian markets delivered the strongest punch, with three states alone contributing nearly 60% of the total collections. In contrast, North India showed a relatively muted response, where audiences tend to favor local music-driven content.

A noticeable surge in footfalls on Saturday and Sunday boosted overall numbers, signaling healthy word of mouth. Going by early weekday trends, Michael looks set for a steady and potentially long theatrical run in India.
