Devil hunter Denji is in love with two women in Chainsaw Man The Movie: Reze Arc, watch trailer

One of the best-selling mangasof all time is getting the film treatment, as Chainsaw Man: The Movie – Reze Arc is coming to a theatre near you soon. Based on the original story and characters written by Tatsuki Fujimoto, this time Denji will have to choose between two women who he loves while trying to keep up with his already chaotic life. The film will release on September 26, and going by the trailer and the reactions it got, this film is going to be welcomed with open arms.
Denji becomes a Devil Hunter after making a deal with Pochita, who is the chainsaw devil. The deal saves Denji's life, and he gets the ability to turn any part of his body into a chainsaw. In the first arc of the series, Denji decides to join the Public Safety Division, which is led by one of the women he is in love with, Makima. The protagonist continues to have strong feelings for her even though she technically betrays him. As he starts striking some kind of balance between his normal life and his life as a hunter, a new character is introduced, Reze. The name of the film and the trailer do suggest that Denji's affection for Reze is going to be central to the story, and it will be interesting to see whether this time his feelings will be reciprocated or not.

Laced with violence and dark humour, the series quickly shot to fame in 2018. The anime adaptation of the series was done by Mappa Studios, known for other animes like Attack On Titan and Jujutsu Kaisen. Both those adaptations received immense love, especially the former, which Mappa picked up for the last season. The studio is also behind the film, and the director of the anime, Tatsuya Yoshihara, is helming the project. Fans expressed their excitement online but took the trailer with a grain of salt due to some reported cuts. Many fans argued that certain scenes have been removed from the original trailer and said that they hope the CBFC does not suggest cuts in the actual film.
A fan commented under the trailer, 'The censor board might actually censor this movie like Superman from the looks of it,' while another wrote, 'Why is this censored? Hope they don't do it to the actual film.'
While it's still unclear why the studio or Sony decided to change the trailer, if cuts have been suggested at this stage, it's likely that they will end up staying in the actual film. Past anime films released in India, such as Demon Slayer: Mugen Train and Jujutsu Kaisen Zero, did well given the limited shows they had, which highlights a growth in anime viewers in the country, hence another big market opening for all creators.

War 2 Final Hindi Advance Booking Report: Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR film ends pre-sales selling 155,000 tickets in top chains for opening day

War 2, directed by Ayan Mukerji, and starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani has ended its India presales on a decent note, for the Hindi version. The film's total ticket sales in top chains like PVRInox and Cinepolis for day 1 stand at 155,000 tickets. The bookings are better than Fighter, and the average ticket rate is higher too. An opening in the vicinity of Rs 27 crore net can be targetted and that would be a decent result, if not a great or exceptional result that is expected from a film as big as this. War 2 Closes Presales By Selling 155,000 Tickets In Top Chains For Day 1 In Hindi The bookings of War 2 are healthy for Independence day. If reports are favourable on the opening day, a Rs 50 crore plus day 2 can be fancied. An extended opening weekend of Rs 150 crore net or so is on the cards, if the content of the movie lands. That would also make the film, well in contention for a Rs 300 crore plus finish. The Telugu version of the movie will also be putting up solid collections for the first weekend if the word of mouth is favourable. The second highest grossing Spy Universe film is all but certain, in that case. Of course, the footfalls of Tiger Zinda Hai and Pathaan require more mass support, which does not seem likely based on the movie's pre-release units that incline more towards the class audiences. War 2 Has Found More Than Just A Stiff Rival In Coolie War 2's release rival Coolie is turning out to be a much bigger threat than it seemed to be. It was always going to lead in Tamil Nadu and Kerala, but for it to lead in Karnataka and Telangana, while coming really close to War 2 in Andhra Pradesh is a shocker. Even in North India, it now has enough capacity to put up over Rs 5 crore net for the Hindi version. In short, Coolie is definitely the most preferred movie choice on 14th of August, 2025, and it remains to be seen if War 2 can outdo Coolie on the Independence Day holiday. War 2 In Theatres War 2 plays in theatres in just a few hours now. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.
