Mahavatar Narasimha Box Office: Scores Biggest Day of the run on Third Sunday
The cumulative gross in India now stands at Rs. 176.50 crore approx. On the overseas front, the film has earned USD 1.65 million (Rs. 14.50 crore) approx, taking its worldwide total to Rs. 191 crore. In reality, the figure is even higher, as Indian box office reporting excludes 3D surcharges. Including those charges, the domestic gross rises to Rs. 195 crore, ergo Rs. 210 crore worldwide.
The Day Wise Box Office Collections of Mahavatar Narasimha in India are as follows:
At the end of its second week, it appeared the film would touch and go the Rs. 200 crore mark in India, provided it held well in the fourth week against the Independence Day biggies, Coolie and War 2. However, with an exceptionally strong third weekend, the double-century will be a cakewalk.
It's now a headache for programmers next weekend as they have to decide how to cut shows for a film that grossed Rs. 50 crore in the past weekend and is showing particularly strong traction during weekends and holidays. At this point, Mahavatar Narasimha might even be a better bet than Coolie (Hindi), but cinemas have probably rushed in giving shows to that film.

Superman movie's early OTT release sparks outrage: Furious fans react, ‘Shameful and stupid decision'
James Gunn's much-awaited Superman (2025) hit Indian cinemas on July 11. Now, fans won't have to wait long to watch it at home. This release gives fans another chance to enjoy the superhero adventure. Even if they missed it in theatres or want to watch it again from their living room, here's their chance. As of August 12, Superman earned $581.1 million worldwide, including $332.4 million from the US and Canada and $248.7 million from overseas markets. It is the biggest superhero film of 2025 so far, but its international earnings are lower than its strong home performance. Top overseas markets are the UK ($32.2 million), Mexico ($21 million), Brazil ($16 million), Australia ($14 million), France ($11 million), Spain ($8.7 million), India ($7 million), Korea ($6.2 million each) and Japan ($5.8 million). While it has not broken past records from earlier DC or Marvel films, it has beaten other recent superhero releases. In fact, Superman is the third-highest grosser in 2025 worldwide, behind Jurassic World: Rebirth ($800 million) and Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning ($595 million). The film's OTT release in India will be on August 15. It will be available to stream on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV and Fandango at Home. Viewers who like physical copies can get it on 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD starting September 23. James Gunn earlier announced the OTT release on social media. 'Superman is coming to your homes this Friday, 8/15. Available now for pre-order. Or catch it while it's still in theaters!' the filmmaker wrote while sharing a teaser clip of the superhero movie. Social media expressed strong emotions against the OTT release. 'Too soon, this decision cuts his legs in theaters. The studio should reconsider these kind of politics,' wrote one user. 'Why so soon?' wondered another while one user commented, 'This seems way too fast, man.' One of them used harsher words, 'Why so early?? Shameful and stupid decision, Superman is still running so strong in theatres and had a lot of box office potential left. Stuff like these damage the theatre going culture.' 'Why can't you leave it longer in theaters?' wrote another. 'I hate this new model, because it kills a movie's box office. A movie should not be available for purchase until at least three months from its debut,' came from another.

Rajinikanth's Coolie crosses ₹16 crore in US advance bookings, beats Kabali record
Lokesh Kanagaraj's much-anticipated multi-starrer Coolie, headlined by superstar Rajinikanth, is gearing up for its grand release. Producer Sun Pictures has announced that the Tamil action drama has created a new record in advance sales for its US premiere. The film has crossed not only the benchmarks set by Vijay's Leo and Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan: I, but also Rajinikanth's own record with Kabali. According to the production house, Coolie is the first Tamil film to cross $2 million ( ₹ 16.8 crore) in premiere pre-sales in North America. Sharing the news on social media, Sun Pictures posted: "Coolie varraan solliko! #Coolie is the First Tamil film to cross $2 million in premiere pre-sales in North America. #Coolie releasing worldwide August 14th.' Fans quickly flooded the comments section to celebrate the achievement, calling it a 'Rajinikanth mass' moment. One wrote, 'All set mighty box office records,' while another predicted, 'The movie will create a new history.' Others hailed Rajinikanth as a 'Record Maker and Record Breaker' and said, '1000 Cr Loading.' With just one day left for its global release, Coolie has overtaken all previous Tamil cinema premiere sales figures. Until now, Kabali (2016) held the record with $1.9 million in pre-sales, followed by Leo (2023), The GOAT (2024), Ponniyin Selvan: I (2022), and Jailer (2023). As per the British Board of Film Classification, the synopsis reads: 'A mysterious man takes a stand against a corrupt syndicate exploiting and abusing the workers of a port town in this action drama.' This marks the first collaboration between director Lokesh Kanagaraj and Rajinikanth — a pairing that has generated significant buzz among fans and industry insiders. The cast also includes Nagarjuna, Nimma Upendra, Soubin Shahir, Shruti Haasan, and Aamir Khan in key roles. Slated for a worldwide theatrical release on 14 August, Coolie is expected to benefit from the Independence Day holiday weekend in India and the summer box office period overseas. The record-breaking US pre-sale numbers highlight not only Rajinikanth's enduring global appeal but also the growing reach of Tamil cinema internationally.

Sridevi called this her best film, and it's not ChaalBaaz, Lamhe or Chandni: ‘People started thinking I can act'
Sridevi, one of the most celebrated and versatile actors in Indian cinema, left behind a legacy that continues to inspire generations. With a career spanning over five decades and across multiple languages—including Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi—Sridevi was a phenomenon who broke barriers with her charisma, talent, and screen presence. And among her many unforgettable performances, Mr. India remains her personal favourite. Renowned actor Sridevi left a lasting impact on Indian cinema with her diverse roles and unparalleled charisma. Sridevi talks about working with Shekhar Kapur Though she never formally attended acting school, Sridevi's innate talent and magnetic screen presence earned her critical acclaim and popular adoration. From the radiant romance of Chandni and the complex duality in ChaalBaaz, to the bold narrative of Lamhe, Sridevi had a rare ability to blend commercial appeal with emotionally nuanced performances. On 56th birth anniversary of Sridevi, we revisit a past interview of her where she revealed why Mr India was special to her. The 1987 science-fiction adventure, directed by Shekhar Kapur, gave her the space to move beyond her glam image and explore a more layered performance. Speaking about the experience, Sridevi once said in an old interview with Colors Cineplex, "In every film for an artist, it is the director who plays the biggest role. We were spontaneous, but it was the director who helped. For instance, I have worked with Shekhar Kapoor, and I really enjoyed my experience in Mr India. It was my best film, I can say. Because that's the first film which was different from a glamorous role. People started talking, of course, I think she can also act." She particularly recalled the now-iconic Charlie Chaplin sequence, which was initially written as a minor scene. But once Sridevi got into costume and began performing, Shekhar Kapur was so impressed that he expanded it into a major comedic highlight of the film—one that still brings smiles to fans decades later. Sridevi's illustrious character Sridevi's talent did not go unrecognised. Over the course of her illustrious career, she received numerous accolades, including the National Film Award for Best Actress posthumously for her role in Mom (2017), five Filmfare Awards, and the Padma Shri, India's fourth-highest civilian honour, in 2013. Her performance in films like Sadma, ChaalBaaz, and English Vinglish also earned widespread critical acclaim. Fluent in six languages, Sridevi was a truly pan-Indian star who connected with diverse audiences. Her sudden passing in 2018 left a void that's hard to fill, but her films, characters, and spirit continue to live on.
