‘Maargan' soul track is intense
The lyrical video of 'Soul of Maargan' was unveiled today, offering a gripping glimpse into the enigmatic Black Devil character played by Ajay Dhishan. Composed by Vijay Antony, the intense musical score perfectly captures the fierce and menacing presence of the character. Lyricist Bhashyasree conveys the raw and brutal essence of the Black Devil through striking verses, while Akshara's powerful vocals elevate the song's emotional impact. The accompanying visuals are haunting and unsettling, deepening the track's dark and suspenseful mood.
'Maargan' features a strong ensemble cast, including Samuthirakani, Mahanati Shankar, Prithika, Brigida, Vinod Sagar, Ajay Dhishan, Deepshikha, Archana (of Kalakka Povathu Yaaru fame), Kanimozhi, and Antagaram Natarajan in key roles.
Cinematographer Yuva S handles the film's visuals, while Raja A serves as the art director. Vijay Antony also composed the music for the film.
Asian Suresh Entertainment will release the movie across the Telugu states.

Green India Challenge launches seed Ganeshas
As a symbol of tradition and environmental conservation, former Rajya Sabha MP and Green India Challenge (GIC) founder Joginapally Santosh Kumar, along with Telugu actor-producer Nara Rohith, unveiled eco-friendly seed Ganesha idols. Mr. Santosh Kumar presented the idols to devotees and staff at the Swarnagiri temple. With Ganesh Chaturthi around the corner, the aim of the initiative is to distribute 5,000 seed Ganesha idols free of charge. Crafted from natural clay, cocopeat, and coco powder, each idol is embedded with seeds of native trees like neem and tamarind. After the rituals, the idols can be immersed in soil, allowing the seeds to sprout into saplings that can later be transplanted into homes, parks, and public spaces, creating lasting green legacies. 'In today's era of pollution and ecological stress, planting and nurturing trees is not a choice but a necessity. The seed Ganesha initiative beautifully blends spirituality with sustainability,' he said in a statement. Over the years, the GIC has distributed 1.5 lakh seed Ganesha idols annually, and this year, it aims to reach 5 lakh idols, spreading the message of sustainability far and wide.

War 2 Worldwide BO Day 2: Hrithik Roshan's actioner holds steady, mints THIS amount
Starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, War 2 continues the YRF Spy Universe saga and has clearly struck a chord with international audiences and the box office. The much-anticipated action sequel War 2 roared into cinemas worldwide on August 14, raking in nearly ₹ 165 crore gross at the global box office in its opening two days. Backed by Yash Raj Films, the film opened to a substantial ₹ 84 crore gross on its first day, with day two collections holding steady in a similar range. While the Hindi version witnessed a noticeable jump in business, particularly in metropolitan centres, the Telugu version experienced a slight drop — a trend industry analysts describe as typical following high initial turnout from regional fans. The film also features prominent performances from Kiara Advani, Anil Kapoor, and Ashutosh Rana in key supporting roles, adding depth to the Ayan Mukerji film. Trade experts say the film's performance over the weekend will be critical. The opening numbers have been impressive so far, but with a budget reportedly exceeding ₹ 300 crore, the film will need to maintain momentum throughout the week to move into safe territory. Yash Raj Films, which has been building its ambitious shared cinematic universe, is counting on War 2 to be its next major tentpole following the success of Pathaan and Tiger 3. With positive word-of-mouth spreading on social media and strong bookings for the weekend, industry observers remain cautiously optimistic.

War 2 Day 2 Worldwide Box Office: Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR starrer registers biggest day of its run; Grosses a passable Rs 79 crore
War 2, directed by Ayan Mukerji and starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani among others, recorded a reasonable second day at the global box office, grossing Rs 79 crore. The collections were nearly equivalent to the first day, with a redistribution in the amounts. War 2 Collects Rs 79 Crore Worldwide On Day 2; Collections Near Identical Of The Opening Day On its opening day, the Hindi net collections of War 2 were Rs 28 crore (Rs 33.50 crore gross). The Telugu version contributed Rs 24 crore gross, the Tamil version added Rs 30 lakh, and overseas collections were USD 2.35 million (Rs 20.45 crore), resulting in a global opening of Rs 78.25 crore. On the second day, the Hindi version saw a surge, netting Rs 45 crore (Rs 54 crore gross). However, the Telugu version's collections dropped significantly despite the national holiday, contributing only Rs 12.50 crore. The Tamil version saw slight growth, adding Rs 40 lakh, while overseas collections were below par at USD 1.4 million (Rs 12.10 crore), totaling Rs 79 crore globally for day two. The Bifurcation For The Day 2 Worldwide Collections Of War 2 Is As Under Hindi Gross Rs 54 crore Telugu Gross Rs 12.50 crore Tamil Gross Rs 0.40 crore Total India Gross Rs 66.90 crore Overseas Gross Rs 12.10 crore Total Worldwide Rs 79 crore The Telugu Version Of War 2 Suggests Major Misjudgement In Potential; Coolie Takes The Lead Focusing on the Telugu collections, War 2 performed exceptionally on its opening day. A Rs 24 crore gross for a Bollywood film in Telugu is unprecedented, but that is largely due to the presence of a Telugu superstar. However, based on his track record in the Telugu states, this figure is relatively low. Given that the film exceeded expectations on day one, it experienced a significant drop on day two, even with the national holiday. The content does not align with the preferences of the broader Telugu audience, catering instead to a niche segment. War 2 outperformed Coolie in the Telugu states on the opening day, but Coolie had a stronger second day. Despite mixed word of mouth for Coolie, it resonated more with Telugu audiences than War 2. In Ceeded, considered a stronghold for Jr NTR, War 2 had a significant lead over Coolie on day one but fell behind on Friday. Current trends suggest that the Telugu version of War 2 won't sustain beyond the extended weekend. The rights for the Telugu version were acquired at an exorbitant price, and the distributor is likely to face losses exceeding 50 percent. Renegotiations are expected to mitigate the potentially catastrophic financial impact. War 2 Heads For A Rs 300 Crore Worldwide Weekend The two-day global total for War 2 stands at Rs 157.25 crore. The film is experiencing a significant drop on Saturday, with Sunday expected to follow a similar trend. The weekend is projected to reach around Rs 300 crore. Critically, the word of mouth is not favorable, as evidenced by the underwhelming performance. It is almost certain that the weekday trend will be weak, with the film likely to close at Rs 400–425 crore worldwide. War 2 Heads To Become A Loss-Making Proposition For Everyone Involved With production costs of Rs 400 crore (excluding print and publicity but including star remunerations), War 2 is poised to be a loss-making venture for nearly all stakeholders. Beyond the financial losses, the film is unlikely to yield significant gains for anyone involved. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.
