Kamal Haasan's Thug Life OTT release: When and where to watch Mani Ratnam's Tamil action drama
In an era where digital premieres are almost as anticipated as theatrical releases, Mani Ratnam 's Thug Life has positioned itself at the intersection of both. Released in theatres on June 5, the much-hyped gangster drama starring Kamal Haasan has already sparked interest not just for its scale and storytelling, but also for its streaming timeline. While the official word was that the film would land on Netflix eight weeks post-release, fresh buzz suggests that the wait may be shorter than expected. Netflix had earlier confirmed its acquisition of Thug Life's OTT rights in a major deal, reflecting the film's massive commercial appeal across language markets. The platform is reportedly aiming for a multilingual digital rollout to maximise reach, especially in the Hindi-speaking belt. Kamal Haasan himself had announced during promotional interviews that the film would hit Netflix only after two months to allow for an expansive theatrical run. However, the M9 News website cited that trade experts who believe that the OTT release may be early and that instead of the eight-week waiting period, it may be slashed to just four weeks. While negotiations are underway, if successful, Thug Life could arrive on the platform within a month of its theatrical debut.

Kamal Haasan plays Rangaraaya Sakthivel Naicker, a layered character entrenched in the criminal underworld. The cast also features Silambarasan TR, Trisha Krishnan , Joju George, Ashok Selvan, and Abhirami in pivotal roles. Backed by AR Rahman 's powerful score and Ravi K Chandran's cinematography, Thug Life blends emotion, action, and grandeur with Mani Ratnam's signature storytelling.

Housefull 5 Box Office Collection Day 5: Akshay Kumar-Abhishek Bachchan starrer shows dip on Monday, reaches 100 crore club, earns…
Housefull 5, featuring a stellar cast including Akshay Kumar, Sonam Bajwa, Jacqueline Fernandez, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, and Nargis Fakhri, has been released in cinemas with two different endings titled 'Housefull 5A' and 'Housefull 5B'. This unique concept has garnered a positive reaction from audiences. Viewers are excited to learn how both versions of the film conclude. The movie has still managed to hold its strong momentum and has now reached the 100 crore club league. Housefull 5 Passes Its First Monday Test The comedy-thriller continues to perform well at the box office, even as the buzz from the weekend begins to fade. As per the trade website Sacnilk, on its fourth day, Monday, Housefull 5 earned Rs 13 crore . Given that weekdays typically see a decline, this drop was anticipated, yet the film managed to maintain its performance. The biggest day for the film to date was recorded on Sunday, with collections soaring to Rs 32.5 crore , marking its peak single-day revenue so far. With these figures, Housefull 5 has surpassed the Rs 100-crore milestone , achieving a total of Rs 100.5 crore within just four days. On Monday, Housefull 5 achieved a Hindi occupancy rate of 17.62 percent, indicating a solid performance for a weekday. With this achievement, Housefull 5 has now surpassed the India net earnings of Akshay Kumar's period-drama film, Kesari Chapter 2 , which grossed Rs 92.53 crore. The focus now shifts to whether it can exceed the Rs 149-crore benchmark established by his aerial-action-thriller Sky Force . 100 Crore Club But Moving Towards Tag of Flop As per reports by Pinkvilla, Housefull 5 was made on a gigantic budget of Rs 240 crore , which means that the film is still far away from its target to achieve the tag of industry hit or blockbuster. As per all the estimates, the fifth installment still needs to rake in Rs 139.5 crore to surpass its total budget cost otherwise, it will become a flop despite reaching 100 crore. However, it is going to be a crucial point for this comedy thriller as the next big release is Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par , which is yet another highly anticipated film of this year.

Ujjain (Madhya Pradesh) [India], June 10 (ANI): Actor Tejasswi Prakash offered prayers at Shri Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain on Tuesday and sought the blessings of Lord Shiva. She reached near the sanctum sanctorum gate of the temple, prayed to Lord Shiva, and then performed worship rituals at the Nandi hall of the temple on her birthday. After offering prayers, Tejasswi spoke to ANI and shared her experience visiting the temple and taking part in Bhasm Aarti. She said, 'Aaj Mahakaleshwar mandir mein mai darshan aur bhasma aarti ke liye bahut sundar hua hai aaj mera janamdin ki shuruat subah 3 baje se ho ke samaye bahut energetic feel hu aur strog feeling aa rahi thi..(Today I went to Mahakaleshwar temple for darshan and bhasma darshan was wonderful, today is my day started at 3 in the the aarti I was feeling very energetic and was feeling strong.) The Mahakaleshwar Temple, situated on the banks of the Shipra River in Ujjain, holds immense religious significance as one of the twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva. The Bhasma Aarti is one of the most revered rituals here at the Mahakaleshwar Temple, which is performed during the auspicious Brahma Muhurta, between 3:30 and 5:30 AM. According to temple traditions, the ritual begins with the opening of Baba Mahakal's doors in the early hours, followed by a holy bath with Panchamrit, a sacred mixture of milk, curd, ghee, sugar, and honey. The deity is then adorned with cannabis and sandalwood before the unique Bhasma Aarti and dhoop-deep Aarti take place, accompanied by the rhythmic beats of drums and the resonating sound of conch shells. Devotees from across the country visit the temple to witness this divine ritual, believing that attending the Bhasma Aarti brings blessings and fulfillment of wishes. Meanwhile, on the work front, Tejasswi Prakash is best known for portraying Ragini Gadodia Maheshwari in 'Swaragini - Jodein Rishton Ke Sur' and Pratha Gujral in 'Naagin 6'. She also participated in reality shows 'Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 10' (2020), and 'Bigg Boss 15' (2021). In April 2023, she was seen as the lead heroine of Marathi film 'School College Ani Life' produced by Rohit Shetty and in 2025, Tejasswi participated in the first season of Celebrity MasterChef India and emerged as 2nd runner up.
