The Vijay Antony starrer Tamil crime-thriller Maargan was released at the box office on June 27, 2025. Despite a tough competition, the film has managed to establish a good stronghold for itself. Let’s take a look at where the film stands at the Indian box office after day 2.

Maargan box office collection day 2

The Vijay Antony starrer opened at 85 lakh which was not a very bad start considering that the movie had a low buzz. Interestingly, it amassed a 183% higher opening than Antony’s last release which was the 2024 film Hitler. Hitler had opened at 30 lakh, and inevitably, the actor’s 2025 release fared way better with its opening.

Now, on its 2nd day, the movie saw a stellar growth of around 65%. According to the early estimates in Sacnilk, the film earned 1.41 crore on its second day. Overall, the 2-day collection at the Indian box office stands at 2.26 crores.

Of late a lot of films on Daddy issues have made their way into movie theatres. This Telugu language melodrama is unabashedly loud and unapologetic in its elemental emotional pitch. There are two main characters, the Good Father and the Bad Son, one so good he seems to belong to another planet, the other so bad he defines human depravity, and yet both are easily identifiable figures, even the son who is a creature of avarice, a product of a nakedly acquisitive society, willing to go to any lengths to have his way.

The question that Ramam Raghavam asks—and here is where it gets its mojo—is, how far would a son go for self-fulfillment? So you thought parricide went of out of vogue with Aurangzeb? Bad Son Raghav (Dhanraj Koranani) is ready to kill his own godlike father as he sees him as a hurdle to his ambitions.

Ramam Raghavam is a thriller film starring Samuthirakani in a pivotal role. It was directed by popular comedian Dhanraj, who also played the protagonist. The intense family drama hit the big screens on February 21, 2025. However, the film failed to perform well at the box office and ended up being a commercial disappointment.

The story revolves around a father and son who share a close bond. However, when the father is forced to have his son arrested, the son retaliates in a shocking way. Now, the film is set to reach a wider audience through Ott streaming.

Ramam Raghavam will start streaming online on March 14, 2025, just a month after its theatrical release. Two platforms—Etv Win and Sun Nxt—have acquired the film’s digital rights.

Hanu-Man Sequel Delay! ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

In 2024, Hanu-Man was a massive success, written and directed by Prasanth Varma. Naturally, a sequel was inevitable, and Jai Hanuman is that sequel—set on a grand scale. One of the key cast members is Rishab Shetty, who became a pan-Indian star with his 2022 blockbuster Kantara. He is currently working on its prequel, Kantara: Chapter 1, which is expected to release in October 2025.

However, this has created scheduling conflicts for Jai Hanuman. The film was originally set to begin production around this time, but Rishab Shetty has yet to allocate any dates due to his commitment to Kantara: Chapter 1, according to M9 News.

Meanwhile, director Prasanth Varma is also occupied with another major project. Reports suggest he has already completed the script for a film with Prabhas, tentatively titled Brahmarakshas, which could take priority over Jai Hanuman.

Vanangaan Box Office Collection Day 23 ( Photo Credit – YouTube )

The Arun Vijay starrer Tamil action drama Vanangaan has turned out to be a disappointing affair at the box office. The film is yet to cross 10 crores within 23 days of its release. Take a look at the box office performance of the film on its 23rd day.

Vanangaan Box Office Collection Day 23

On its 23rd day, the day-wise collection of the film remained a mere 1 lakh. The day-wise collection is remaining stagnant since the 18th day of the film’s release. On its 18th day, the Arun Vijay starrer had earned 2 lakhs. Ever since that, the collections witnessed a drop of almost 50%. The total India net collection of the movie now stands at 8.46 crore.

There is something to be said about a film that wears its idealism on its sleeve, that desperately wants us to believe in the goodness of its protagonist, and in goodness per se. But the entire endeavour is undertaken in the spirit of gobsmacking propaganda sponsored by an evangelical organization.

The protagonist, Manickam, is a bit of a naïve bloke. He believes only good will come to those who are goodhearted. He is a hick angel without a halo. It takes an actor of Samuthirakani’s range to make Manickam look more sweet than strange. Even he, after a while, as the plot goes from east to waste, gives up the fight to humanize the unbelievably extolled protagonist and just flows with the tide of tireless altruism.

The plot is as naïve as its hero. Manickam is a working-class man struggling to keep his loving family of wife and two...

Written and Directed by Nandha Periyasamy, Samuthirakkani’s “Thiru.Manickam” (2024) is a story of what makes a good Samaritan. It narrates the tale of Manickam, a lottery ticket shop owner and a father of two girls in Kumily, Kerala, and his perilous journey to take a lottery ticket to its rightful owner after the ticket wins a bumper prize. The film tries to underline what honesty is and how much Manickam believes in it despite financially struggling to meet the medical expenses of his sick daughter.

Manickam lives in a joint family and struggles to make ends meet. With debts piling on and a daughter who is in dire need of surgery, he is asked to relocate his shop paving the way for a mall construction. However, ironically he still has enough to lead a decent lifestyle and even go on small trips with his family and a freeloader brother-in-law.

It is a known truth that no matter how stellar the cast or interesting the concept if the script and screenplay don’t click, the film’s a lost cause. A killer idea and powerhouse actors can only take a movie so far, but it is always the writing that does wonders. In a similar vein, you can have R. Madhavan delivering heartfelt and emotional dialogues and Neil Nitin Mukesh trying to be a cunning villain but if their characters aren’t backed by tight storytelling, it all falls flat. Like a dish, Ashwini Dhar’s latest film “Hisaab Barabar” forgets all the necessary ingredients, and fails to click with the audience. The screenplay is sloppy and manages to derail what could’ve been a great Ott addition, rendering it a snooze fest.

The film tells the story of a regular guy trying to pull off something extraordinary. At the heart of it is R.

When Can We Expect Ram Charan’s Game Changer On Ott? ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Ram Charan’s much-anticipated political drama Game Changer has been making headlines ever since its theatrical release on January 10, 2025. The movie is directed by S. Shankar, best known for directing blockbusters like Anniyan, Sivaji The Boss, I, Enthiran, and 2.0. Kiara Advani starred opposite Ram Charan in the film. With a star-studded cast, a visionary director, and a hefty budget of ₹350-400 Crores, Game Changer was expected to give a great start to 2025.

However, despite its grand scale, the movie struggled to meet commercial expectations at the box office. Nonetheless, Ram Charan and Shankar fans who missed the film in theaters are eagerly awaiting its Ott debut.

Following the dismal performance of Indian 2, Shankar reportedly does not want to take any risks with Indian 3. According to reports, the filmmaker has decided to reshoot some portions of the upcoming sequel starring Kamal Haasan.

The reshoots will cost another Rs. 100 crores, significantly raising the movie’s budget. The previous installment in the franchise, Indian 2, came out in July 2014 and failed to meet the audience’s expectations.

Powerstar Pawan Kalyan and Sai Dharam Tej played the lead roles in the film Bro. Samuthirakhani directed the film, which was written by Trivikram Srinivas. Tg Vishwa Prasad produced the movie under the People’s Media Factory banner. The film did not receive a good response from everyone, and many claimed it was a flop. However, producer Vishwa Prasad decoded the film’s failure in a recent interview.

Game Changer features Bollywood beauty Kiara Advani as the leading lady. The supporting cast features Anjali, Samuthirakani, S J Suryah, Srikanth and Sunil. There remains massive anticipation around the film, which marks Ram’s 15th outing as a lead actor.

Unexpected increase in budget!

Ram Charan & Kiara Advani starrer was planned to be made on a budget of 250 crores. As per multiple reports, Director Shankar took charge and completely changed the crew without informing producer Dil Raju. Another schedule of 45 days was planned but canceled at the last moment.

Shankar’s Indian 2, the sequel to his Indian (1996), is also a vigilante film like its predecessor, where the centenarian protagonist, Senapati (Kamal Haasan), aka Indian, gives a clarion call to the youngsters to take on the onus to clean up the corruption in the country. Though the veteran freedom fighter has aged, he still has the vigor and acumen to punish the enemies of the nation, utilizing the traditional art of Varma Kalai as his lethal weapon. Unlike the prequel, where the culprits who have risen to power and the zenith of corruption by abusing their position and power, are only limited to the territory of Tamil Nadu. Senapati travels to various corners of India to ensure that criminals are punished for their wrongdoings. The idea is grand, and the action sequences go hand in hand to fulfill the vision and ambition of the filmmaker. ??Unfortunately, a lack of a...
