The Odyssey showcases Nolan's Indian market strength
Christopher Nolan’s upcoming epic The Odyssey has started its box office journey much earlier than expected in India. Even with nearly five weeks left for release, the film has reportedly crossed Rs.2 crore in advance bookings, showing the massive anticipation surrounding the project. Advance IMAX bookings opened in India on June 8, more than a month ahead of release. The response has been particularly strong for premium format screenings with several early shows witnessing fast bookings despite high ticket prices in major cities. Reports indicate that some premium IMAX tickets even touched Rs.3,000–3,300 range and still found buyers quickly. Directed by Christopher Nolan, The Odyssey is already carrying enormous curiosity after the global success of Oppenheimer. The film is also creating attention for becoming the first feature shot entirely using IMAX film cameras. What makes this start more impressive is the timing. Hollywood films in India rarely open advance bookings this early and still generate such momentum. Early sales suggest that Nolan’s brand value continues to grow among Indian audiences. With over a month remaining for release, the film has already signalled that it could emerge as one of the biggest Hollywood openings in India if this pace continues.

Drishyam 3 Crosses Vaazha 2 but falls short in Keralam
Mohanlal’s Drishyam 3 has continued its remarkable theatrical journey and added another major milestone to its box office run. The film has officially crossed Vaazha II: Biopic of a Billion Bros in worldwide collections to emerge as the fourth highest-grossing Malayalam film globally. As per the latest figures, Drishyam 3 has grossed around Rs.235 crore worldwide, narrowly moving ahead of Vaazha 2’s Rs.234.46 crore total. While the margin is small, the achievement underlines the sustained pull of the franchise and Georgekutty’s unmatched recall among audiences. The film has also put up solid numbers in India with approximately Rs.121 crore gross and an impressive overseas total crossing Rs.109 crore. However, Kerala has emerged as the one market where a major milestone now appears difficult. Drishyam 3 currently stands at around Rs.86.34 crore gross in Kerala. With the theatrical run slowing down considerably and occupancy witnessing a visible drop after the initial rush, the film now looks unlikely to touch the prestigious Rs.100 crore gross mark in the state. The gap remains significant and fresh competition is expected to further reduce screens. Even then, the film’s run remains highly successful. It delivered one of the biggest openings in Malayalam cinema and eventually overtook Vaazha 2 worldwide. But unless there is an unexpected revival, Drishyam 3’s box office journey is almost at its finish line with Kerala’s Rs.100 crore milestone set to remain out of reach.

Priya Bhavani Shankar and Ravi Teja look adorable
Priya Bhavani Shankar has officially completed filming her scenes for the upcoming Telugu movie, Irumudi. Marking the occasion, she posted a few behind-the-scenes pictures on Instagram to share her experience working on the project. Reflecting on her time on set, she wrote, "We shot scenes, took home a thousand memories, collected a few inside jokes, laughed at things that weren’t supposed to be funny, and somehow finished a film. What a lovely journey this has been." Directed by Shiva Nirvana, Irumudi marks a clear shift in genre for lead actor Ravi Teja. He is stepping away from his regular action-oriented scripts to play a middle-class father who takes up a spiritual path. The story heavily focuses on the emotional bond between his character and his daughter, played by Baby Nakshatra. Recent promotional material has shown both Ravi Teja and Priya in grounded, everyday looks, pointing toward a character-driven family drama rather than a commercial entertainer. Produced by Mythri Movie Makers, the film is currently making its way through production and is slated for a worldwide release on August 21st.

Sai Durgha Tej SYG makers rope in a Bollywood Star

The makers also revealed that a Bollywood actor is playing an important role in the film, but have not disclosed the name yet.

Akshay Kumar decides to cut his fee for share in profits
Akshay Kumar had been in reports for charging huge remuneration per film despite doing 4-5 films per year. Now, he has decided to change that approach and slashed his upfront fee by almost 98%. He reportedly took smaller immediate payment combined with a share in the film’s future revenues for his upcoming film Welcome To The Jungle. According to the reports, Akshay’s upfront remuneration for the film is said to be around Rs. 1.8 crore, instead of usual Rs.70 crore. The arrangement reportedly allows him to participate in earnings linked to the film’s intellectual property and post-release revenue streams rather than depending entirely on a fixed paycheck. The reported structure marks a shift from the traditional Bollywood star-fee model, where leading actors take a substantial amount before release regardless of box office performance. In this case, a larger portion of returns would depend on how the film performs commercially. The development comes amid increasing conversations in the industry around production costs, recovery models and long-term profitability. Revenue-sharing arrangements have become a recurring discussion point as producers look for ways to balance budgets without reducing scale. Welcome To The Jungle remains one of Akshay Kumar’s major upcoming commercial entertainers, and the reported deal structure has now become one of the talking points surrounding the project.

Anumana Pakshi Teaser presents a fresh dark comedy
The teaser of Anumana Pakshi, starring Rag Mayur and directed by DJ Tillu filmmaker Vimal Krishna, has been released. Rather than revealing the plot upfront, the teaser spends most of its runtime introducing the unusual world of its lead character and the situations that surround him. Rag Mayur appears as a man who doubts everything and everyone around him. His constant suspicion seems to irritate even his own parents, who appear more interested in getting him married and moving him out than solving his problems. The setup creates much of the teaser’s early humour for this 10th July release. Things begin to shift when a woman enters his life and seems willing to accept him with all his eccentricities intact. But just as the teaser settles into relationship comedy, it takes a different turn. Ajay’s entry as a police officer and the presence of Raasi introduce another layer to the narrative. Their interactions hint that there could be more happening beneath the surface than the lead character’s overthinking, pushing the teaser towards investigative and thriller territory. The teaser moves between comedy, suspicion and moments of tension without revealing where exactly the story is headed. Vimal Krishna appears to be building the film around character behaviour first and genre later. Backed by Rajiv Chilaka along with Hirachand Dand and Rajesh Jagtiani, Anumana Pakshi leaves behind enough questions while holding back its bigger reveals.

Slumdog Teaser: Puri presents VJS in new style
The teaser of Slumdog 33 Temple Street offers a clearer look at the world that Puri Jagannadh and Vijay Sethupathi are building together. Positioned as a Pan-India film, the project had already drawn attention for its unusual title, casting choices and setting. The teaser now shifts the focus toward tone and character. Vijay Sethupathi appears in the role of a visually challenged beggar who seems deeply connected to a larger community of homeless and marginalised people. Rather than presenting him as a conventional underdog, the teaser hints at a character carrying influence, conflict and a larger purpose within that world. Across its runtime, the teaser suggests themes of survival, power and revenge without revealing too much of the central plot. Tabu, Duniya Vijay and Samyuktha appear briefly but their presence indicates that the narrative may rely on strong interpersonal conflict. One noticeable aspect is Puri Jagannadh’s treatment. While retaining his familiar intensity, the visuals appear more restrained and textured than his recent work. Harshavardhan Rameshwar’s background score adds mood and scale, while the teaser largely focuses on establishing atmosphere rather than delivering conventional mass moments.

I am genuinely thankful to audiences - Ram Charan
Peddi team held a Thank You Meet following the film’s strong theatrical run and growing audience response across markets. The event saw director Buchi Babu Sana, Ram Charan, Jagapathi Babu and producer Venkata Satish Kilaru speak about the reception and the journey behind the film. Speaking at the event, Buchi Babu Sana revealed that one of the inspirations for Peddi came from the Khelo India initiative launched in 2017–18. He stated that the idea was to tell a story rooted in discovering talent from marginalised rural backgrounds and showcase how sports create emotional connections that go beyond urban and rural divides. Jagapathi Babu shared that he was initially nervous after seeing mixed reactions to a few portions of the film on day one. However, as word-of-mouth strengthened and audience response improved, he said he felt relieved and thankful. He also called Peddi one of the most rewarding films of his career. Ram Charan stated that he feels thoroughly satisfied with the response to his performance and said he approached Peddi with complete honesty, sincerity and commitment. He added that audience acceptance has reinforced his belief that heartfelt efforts will always find appreciation and thanked the entire team, including AR Rahman, for contributing to the film’s reception.
