The much-hyped Suriya-starrer Retro hit the big screens on May 1, 2025, but its Retro box office performance has been far from impressive. Released alongside Nani’s HIT 3, the film received poor word of mouth in the Telugu states, resulting in low occupancy right from day one.
Negative reviews and lack of audience interest severely impacted Retro’s box office collections, especially in key Telugu-speaking regions. As a result, the film is facing a major downfall and might exit theaters sooner than expected.
Directed by Karthik Subbaraj, Retro features Pooja Hegde as the female lead. Unfortunately, she too faces a setback with this project, marking another flop in her career. Despite the star power and stylish presentation, the film failed to connect with the audience emotionally or narratively.
Unless a miracle turn of events happens, Retro seems poised to become one of the forgettable outings in Suriya’s filmography.
Ajith’s powerful return to the big screen with the gangster action drama Good Bad Ugly has now set its sights on the digital space. The much-awaited Good Bad Ugly OTT release is officially happening on May 8 on Netflix. The film will be available to stream in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, and Kannada, offering a wider reach for fans across India.
Directed by Adhik Ravichandran, the film was a huge hit at the box office, collecting over Rs. 240 crores worldwide. The movie stood out for its high-octane action sequences and strong fan service, even though the storyline received mixed reviews. Still, it delivered what Ajith fans were hoping for—pure entertainment.
While the movie underperformed in the Telugu market due to weak promotions, it still found success in other regions. Trisha Krishnan played the female lead, alongside Arjun Das, Priya Prakash Varrier, Prabhu, Prasanna, Shine Tom Chacko, and more in key roles. The film was produced by Mythri Movie Makers, with music composed by GV Prakash Kumar.
For viewers who missed it in theatres, the Netflix release on May 8 is the perfect chance to catch up on this mass entertainer.
Nithiin’s latest action-comedy entertainer Robinhood is all set for its digital debut. The Robinhood OTT release has been quietly confirmed for May 10th on ZEE5, although the platform hasn’t made an official announcement on its social media. The streaming date was spotted on ZEE5’s upcoming releases catalogue.
Directed by Venky Kudumula, Robinhood marked his second collaboration with Nithiin after their hit film Bheeshma. While expectations were decent at first, the trailer and songs didn’t generate the buzz the makers had hoped for. Despite aggressive promotions, the movie had a dull opening and failed to impress at the box office due to poor word of mouth.
The film stars Sreeleela as the female lead—her second outing with Nithiin after Extraordinary Man. The supporting cast includes Devdatta Nage, Rajendra Prasad, Vennela Kishore, Shine Tom Chacko, Aadukalam Naren, Mime Gopi, and Subhaleka Sudhakar. The music was composed by G.V. Prakash Kumar, and the film was bankrolled by Mythri Movie Makers.
Robinhood might not have worked theatrically, but its OTT release could offer a second chance to engage with the audience at home.
Nani is riding high on success, and his latest release HIT 3 proves it once again. The film opened with strong collections, and within two days, the numbers are already showcasing Nani’s growing box office power.
HIT 3 has received a lot of positive word of mouth, driving more footfall into theatres. What’s notable is that the film carries an A certificate due to its high level of violence, which typically limits the family audience. Still, the thriller is performing exceptionally well.
Trade analysts believe that had HIT 3 received a U/A certificate, the collections would have been even higher. Regardless, Nani’s star power is ensuring that the film dominates across major regions. Day-three figures are also projected to be massive if the trend continues.
Directed by Sailesh Kolanu, this intense crime thriller is produced by Nani and his team, and it’s quickly becoming one of the standout hits of the year.














HIT 3 box office numbers have taken the industry by storm as Nani’s latest thriller opens with a massive global collection of Rs. 43 crore on Day 1. Directed by Sailesh Kolanu, this gripping crime drama has set the tone for a strong theatrical run this May.
Day 2 is looking just as powerful, with booking platforms like BookMyShow recording over 12,000 ticket sales per hour — a pace typically seen in big-budget films. With such momentum, HIT 3 is expected to post another impressive figure on its second day.
The film stars Srinidhi Shetty as the female lead, along with powerful performances by Rao Ramesh, Komalee Prasad, Samuthirakani, and others. Produced by Wall Poster Cinema and Unanimous Pictures, and featuring music by Mickey J Meyer, HIT 3 continues to draw crowds with its intense storyline and slick presentation.
Akkada Ammayi Ikkada Abbayi OTT premiere is officially confirmed! The light-hearted comedy starring Telugu anchor Pradeep Machiraju and debutante Deepika Pilli will begin streaming on ETV Win from May 8, 2025. Directed by Nitin and Bharat, the film had a theatrical release on April 11, 2025.
Despite its fun moments and a vibrant cast, the movie struggled at the box office due to stiff competition from big releases like Jack, Good Bad Ugly, and Jaat. However, its digital release could give it a new lease on life, reaching a wider audience online.
The film features an impressive comedy lineup including Getup Srinu, Satya, Vennela Kishore, Brahmanandam, and Muralidhar Goud. Produced by Monks and Monkeys, with music by Radhan, Akkada Ammayi Ikkada Abbayi combines humor, love, and youthful energy — now all set to entertain on OTT.
The wait is over! The title of Sharwanand upcoming movie has officially been revealed as Bhogi, marking the actor’s 38th film. Directed by Sampath Nandi and produced by KK Radhamohan under Sri Sathya Sai Arts, this film is designed as a high-budget PAN-Indian project.
Unveiled through a stunning concept video called “First Spark,” the teaser gives us a glimpse into a story woven with fire, fate, and transformation. Sharwanand appears in a rugged new avatar, exuding intensity and purpose, as he steps into a role shaped by strength and spirit.
Shooting has kicked off in Hyderabad on a massive set spread across 20 acres—painstakingly built over six months. Set in the vintage backdrop of 1960s North Telangana–Maharashtra, Bhogi promises visual grandeur and powerful storytelling. The film stars Anupama Parameswaran and Dimple Hayathi in key female roles.
Expect high technical brilliance, with art direction by Kiran Kumar Manne. Details about the music director, cinematographer, and editor will be revealed soon.
The much-awaited Vishwambhara release date has been a hot topic among Megastar Chiranjeevi’s fans. Originally set for a grand release on January 9, 2025, the socio-fantasy film directed by Vassishta Mallidi was postponed, leading to widespread speculation. While an earlier rumor hinted at a July 24 release, fresh social media chatter now suggests the makers are eyeing September 25, 2025, though an official confirmation is still pending.
The first single from Vishwambhara gained moderate attention but didn’t deliver the strong impact fans had hoped for. This makes the upcoming promotional strategy all the more crucial to build hype for the film.
Trisha stars opposite Chiranjeevi, while Kunal Kapoor plays the villain. The ensemble cast also includes Aashika Ranganath, Ramya Pasupuleti, Esha Chawla, and Ashrita Vemuganti Nanduri. With music by MM Keeravaani and production by UV Creations, Vishwambhara is shaping up to be a visual and emotional spectacle.
