Recently, Teja Sajja’s Telugu film HanuMan, which was supposed to be released on Zee 5, did not drop on the platform, and the audiences were asked to wait. Meanwhile, the film was confirmed to be released in Hindi digitally after its Hindi world premiere. Now, the Malayalam film Manjummel Boys also seems to face an Ott dilemma.
While the audiences are eagerly awaiting for the survival thriller to drop digitally, the makers have yet not found the right deal for the film. The best price that has been offered is around 10 crore.
However, after the film has already collected almost 130 crore in theaters worldwide, the makers of Manjummel Boys do not want to budge from their 20 crore quote for digital rights.

Box Office – Ajay Devgn scores his 6th biggest weekend with Shaitaan(Photo Credit –Facebook)
Shaitaan continues to go great guns, and though it’s one of the most controlled-budgeted films of Ajay Devgn ever since one can remember, it has still managed to zoom right up in his Top-10 list. If the opening day collections were wonderful enough, the momentum that has been gained on Saturday as well as Sunday has ensured that the film finds a solid footing amongst the Top-10 biggest weekend/first three day openers of Ajay Devgn.

Shaitaan Box Office Collection Day 3 Promises A Good Hold In The Coming Week (Photo Credit –YouTube)
While a double-digit opening comes at a premium these days, to gather 20 crore or more in a single day is a distant dream in itself, especially when it comes to mid-budget films. Well, Shaitaan has managed to earn this for itself, what with 20.74 crore coming on Sunday.
No one, really one, could have claimed that the Vikas Bahl-directed supernatural psychological thriller would be able to reach this kind of number in its run, and here, Shaitaan has done that with style and without creating any fuss.
What’s all the more remarkable is that all of this is pretty organic. Yes, the first day did get some sort of push due to the Mahashivratri national holiday, but still, reaching 15.21 crore was not a child’s play. Also, had the film not been accepted,...

However, the 1st Monday, which is a working day, brings the numbers drastically down, but Shaitaan might still hold its fort strongly. At least the advance booking trends suggest so.
The horror flick helmed by Vikas Bahl experienced its first massive drop on the fourth day, Monday, in the advance booking. The numbers for the advance tickets dropped by almost 70% on the fourth day.
While Shaitaan, on the third day, collected over 5 crore from advance booking for 2,28,148 sold tickets, it dropped the ticket sale by almost 70% on Monday with only 68,646 tickets sold, accounting for a gross collection of around 1.15 crore.

These films, a genre in itself, were typically about a wealthy feudal lord from the Rayalaseema region reigning over the area he occupies, where the rule of law or democracy does not exist. On the hero’s land, decisions are made through over-the-top action sequences and gory violence. The ‘bad guys’ would be of the same caste as the protagonist, and do the same things as the hero. People constantly challenge each other’s masculinity, and there is honour in revenge. These movies were called the ‘faction’ films — a genre...

ReviewThe performances of actors Gopichand, Sathyaraj and Rao Ramesh are convincing. Raashii Khanna however deserves much of the appreciation for experimenting with comedy and succeeding with it. Balakrishna GaneshanDirector Maruthi’s Pakka Commercial is one of those films that end up making a satire of themselves unintentionally. The film, while ironically making fun of how television soaps present court proceedings to the audience – with monologues, silly staged and unrealistic depiction of events, ends up making a commentary about how this film belongs to the same category. Pakka Commercial stars actors Gopichand and Raashii Khanna, along with Sathyaraj, Rao Ramesh, Ajay Ghosh and others. The film is a courtroom drama. And one should not expect it to be anywhere close to reality, as the film amply makes it clear in the very title that it is a 'commercial' film. For the uninitiated, a typical commercial film is devoid of reality, logic and reasoning.

Film: "Sahasam"; Cast: Gopichand, Taapsee Pannu, Shakti Kapoor, Ali and Suman; Director: Chandrasekhar Yeleti; Rating: **1/2
For starters, the reason "Sahasam" is being compared with "Indiana Jones" is not because it's neither the copy of it nor even half as good as it. It's simply because it's a reasonably better Telugu film made along the lines of the Hollywood flick.
Wielding the megaphone after four years, National award-winning director Chandrasekhar Yeleti gives Telugu audiences an appetising desi flavour with technical finesse that is certainly better than several meaningless films that come week after week, but doesn't quite leave an impact.
Gautham, played by Gopichand, works as a security guard and aspires.
