Pink Villa7 days ago

Latest Tamil release Maaman celebrates the unique bond between an uncle and nephew on the silver screen. Seemingly so, the film has been performing wonderfully at the box office and has now passed a milestone of Rs 25 crores in Tamil Nadu.
Taking to X, actor Soori penned a note of gratitude as his film achieved this remarkable feat. He dropped a poster of the film and thanked every one of the team members who equally deserve this phenomenal credit.
Check out the post here:
An excerpt from his long note read, 'Their tireless work and dedication are the main reasons why Maman holds a place in your hearts today. Today, the movie Maman is successfully running for its second week... but it resonates not only on the screen but also in the love, appreciation, and enthusiastic smiles you have given... it lives on in the hearts of every family.'
Speaking about the box office metrics of Maaman, it has emerged as a sure-shot hit in Tamil Nadu and even continues to do so in the second week of its theatrical run.
The family drama has touched the hearts of the audience with its honest and unique storytelling.
While the film continues to storm in theaters, it was just some days back when Soori confirmed that the digital and satellite streaming rights of Maaman were acquired by Zee5.
The film will be airing on this digital platform after completing its run in cinema halls. For the unversed, the Soori starrer hit the big screens on May 16.
Maaman is directed by Prasanth Pandiyaraj, who had penned the screenplay of the film based on a story from Soori himself. It is produced by K. Kumar under the banner of Lark Studios.
Talking about the cast, apart from Soori, it also stars Aishwarya Lekshmi, Rajkiran, Swasika, Bala Saravanan, Baba Bhaskar, Geetha Kailasam, Viji Chandrasekhar and others.

Saunkan Saunkanay 2 Worldwide Opening Weekend Box Office: Ammy Virk, Sargun Mehta & Nimrat Khaira starrer collects Rs 14.50 crore in 3 days; Aims to emerge HIT

Punjabi film Saunkan Saunkanay 2 looks set to emerge a winner at the Indian box office after a long time. The film grossed Rs. 8 crore in India during its first weekend, with a solid trend over the weekend. Additionally, it earned Rs. 6.50 crore (USD 750K) overseas, giving the Sargun Mehta, Nimrat Khaira and Ammy Virk fronted film a global weekend of Rs. 14.50 crore. The film had a good opening day on Friday, but there were concerns of a drop on Saturday, owing to the fact that it had some holiday support on Friday and word of mouth wasn't particularly good. However, the film did well on Saturday staying flat and then got the big Sunday surge when family audiences come in strong. The film has passed the weekend test and now it comes to Monday. A good hold today will cement the HIT status of the film, which will make it the first in nearly nine months since Ardaas 3. During the period, there were a couple of HITs overseas, some even did BLOCKBUSTER business, but domestically, it's been a drought. The box office for Punjabi films has shifted dramatically in the last couple of years, with a huge migration trend which has resulted in a shrinking domestic market and huge growth overseas. Overseas being higher than domestic used to be a rare sight, but it is a common occurrence now. That said, there's still a slightly muted sentiment surrounding Saunkan Saunkanay 2. Its first weekend numbers fall short of the original, which collected Rs. 11 crore in India and USD 950K overseas. A sequel collecting below the original is not an optimal scenario, as generally, sequels score big in Punjabi cinema. This was seen coming with the trailer and music being a notch below the original and the fact that the original wasn't probably that well appreciated. Nonetheless, it's good to see numbers being back for Punjabi films. End of the month will see a big release in Sardaar Ji 3, hope will be for it to set the box office on fire and set some new benchmarks.

Thug Life: Pro-Kannada group warns Bengaluru theatres against screening Kamal Haasan's 'Thug Life'

Tensions flared in Bengaluru on Sunday as members of the pro-Kannada group Karnataka Rakshana Vedike staged a protest outside Victory Cinema in Kamakshipalya. The demonstration was aimed at halting the screening of 's upcoming film 'Thug Life,' following a controversial statement made by the actor. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now During an event in Chennai, Kamal Haasan reportedly remarked that "Kannada was born from Tamil," a claim that triggered widespread backlash among Kannada supporters. Group threatens theatre owners, KFCC responds Praveen Shetty, the president of the Rakshana Vedike, led the protest and issued a stern warning to theatre owners. He alleged that Kamal Haasan had insulted the Kannada language and called for the film to be blocked across Karnataka. Speaking to ANI, Shetty said that if 'Thug Life' is screened, the state government must be prepared to take responsibility for any fallout. Shortly after the protest, the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC) announced a statewide ban on the film's release. CM and Kamal Haasan respond The controversy deepened midweek when Siddaramaiah responded to Kamal Haasan's remarks. Dismissing the actor's statement as ignorant, the CM said, 'Kannada has a long-standing history. Poor Kamal Haasan, he is unaware of it.' The issue escalated further when Kamal Haasan, addressing the uproar at a separate event, refused to offer an apology. He maintained his position by saying, 'Love will never apologise. I will apologise only if I am wrong. This is my lifestyle. Please don't tamper with it.' Ban threat intensifies amid KFCC support In the latest development, Karnataka Minister Shivaraj Tangadagi echoed calls for a ban on Kamal Haasan's films unless the actor issues a public apology. Supporting this sentiment, KFCC President M Narasimhalu stated that the decision to withhold screenings of 'Thug Life' was taken independently by theatre owners and distributors. As tensions simmer, the film's release in Karnataka remains uncertain.
