'Su From So' box office collection: Comedy-supernatural drama becomes Kannada cinema's surprise hit; enters Rs 100 crore club
Raj B Shetty's Kannada film 'Su From So' has turned into an unexpected success, winning over audiences across regions. The film has a mix of comedy, supernatural elements, and a thought–provoking message, which has been able to make its space in the Rs 100 crore club.
Strong box office run
According to trade analyst Sacnilk, 'Su From So' has earned Rs 77.86 crore net in India and Rs 14.15 crore overseas, taking its worldwide gross to Rs 105 crore in just 24 days. Interestingly, the film was made on a modest budget of around Rs 6 crore, yet it has managed to pull in audiences across languages. Even with heavy competition from big-budget films like 'Kingdom', and 'Ace', and now competing against major projects like 'War 2' and 'Coolie', the Kannada film has done well.
Story with a twist
The film has a unique humor and a supernatural element. 'Su From So' tells the story of a man who finds himself possessed by a female spirit Sulochana, a resident spirit from Someshwara. It seeks to reflect an element of misogyny, male ego, and friendship in a somewhat rural setting.
Audience reception
Reviews on social media have been overwhelmingly positive, with many users praising its comedy and horror elements. The film's strong local flavor and universal emotions made it relatable and authentic, especially for those from Udupi and Mangalore.
X users have also described the film as an "absolute laughter carnage".
Directed by JP Thuminad, who is also one of the characters in the film, 'Su From So' stars Shaneel Gautham, Raj B Shetty, Sandhya Arakere, Prakash K Thuminadu, Deepak Rai Panaje, and Mime Ramdas. The film's music is composed by Sumedh K.
The film is backed by Shashidhar Shetty Baroda, Ravi Rai Kalasa, and Raj B Shetty.

Mahavatar Narsimha 4th Wednesday Hindi Box Office: Hombale's animated movie continues outpacing Coolie The Powerhouse
Mahavatar Narsimha, directed by Ashwin Kumar, continued wrecking the box office with the least drop of all Indian movies after 'Discount Tuesday'. The devotional animated movie added Rs 1.20 crore at the Hindi box office, taking its total closer to Rs 150 crore. The movie will cross the Rs 150 crore net Hindi mark on its 5th Friday, that is on the same day that War 2 also crosses Rs 150 crore at the Hindi box office. From here, it will be interesting to see if Mahavatar Narsimha can actually end up doing higher collections than War 2 in Hindi. The Day Wise Hindi Net India Collections Of Mahavatar Narsimha Are As Under Weeks/Days India Net Collections (Hindi) Week 1 Rs 29 crore Week 2 Rs 50 crore Week 3 Rs 48.50 crore 4th Friday Rs 5.50 crore 4th Saturday Rs 4.95 crore 4th Sunday Rs 5.95 crore 4th Monday Rs 1.50 crore 4th Tuesday Rs 1.75 crore 4th Wednesday Rs 1.20 crore Total Rs 148.35 crore in 27 days Weeks/Days Note: The collections exclude 3D handling charges Mahavatar Narsimha Heads For A Rs 300 Crore Plus Gross Worldwide Finish Mahavatar Narsimha has already crossed Rs 250 crore at the worldwide box office (all languages) and it will be target to end its run over Rs 300 crore. Seeing the trend, it should not be too hard. However, one can never absolutely be sure. Regardless, the job is done well and the upcoming movies from the Mahavatar Cinematic Universe are already among the most awaited movies in the coming years. Mahavatar Narsimha Has Shown That You Don't Need Big Actors For Your Film To Run The biggest takeaway is that these are all animated movies and don't have a star in them. The audience for the movie is purely coming on the basis of the film's content. There used to be a stigma around animated movies. But guess it is no longer there. Producers should take note and invest in making compelling animated movies. The box office will follow, and so will the audience love. Mahavatar Narsimha is going to end as one of the most profitable Indian movies of the year. The only movies with a greater profit so far are Chhaava and Saiyaara. The movie plays in theatres now. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

Here's when and where you can watch Fahadh Faasil, Vadivelu's comedy drama Maareesan on OTT
A mysterious journey unfolds when two unlikely companions set off across Tamil Nadu. One is a cunning thief with ulterior motives; the other, an elderly man battling memory loss. What begins as a simple plan for deception soon transforms into an emotional odyssey neither expected. When and where to watch Maareesan? Maareesan, the latest Tamil film starring Fahadh Faasil and Vadivelu, is set to premiere on Netflix on August 22, 2025. Directed by Sudheesh Sankar, this road-trip thriller delves into themes of trust, redemption, and the complexities of human relationships. What is the storyline? The storyline of Maareesan follows Dhaya, a small-time thief (played by Fahadh Faasil), who targets Velayudham, an elderly man with Alzheimer's (played by Vadivelu), as part of a con. Dhaya pretends to help Velayudham in his supposed quest to find his long-lost daughter, seeing it as an easy opportunity to gain something in return. As they journey together across Tamil Nadu, what begins as manipulation slowly evolves into a genuine emotional bond. Dhaya starts to empathize with Velayudham's vulnerability and sincerity. The road trip reveals hidden truths, personal regrets, and forces both characters to confront their pasts. How were the performances? The performances were widely appreciated, with Vadivelu earning particular praise for his role as Velayudham. Known primarily for his comedic work, Vadivelu showcased his range with a restrained and emotional performance that became one of the film's strongest elements. Fahadh Faasil, as the morally grey thief Dhaya, delivered a layered portrayal, effectively capturing the character's transformation from selfish motives to empathy and redemption. How was the box office response? Despite the critical praise, the film, which was released on July 25, struggled at the box office. Maareesan opened to a modest Rs 75 lakh on its first day and eventually collected around Rs 6.55 crore domestically. With an estimated production budget of Rs 15 crore, the film failed to recover its costs theatrically. Audiences responded well to the film post-theatrical release, and it currently holds an impressive IMDb rating of 8.2. While Maareesan may not have achieved commercial success, it resonated deeply with viewers for its sincere performances and heartfelt narrative. Story Highlights Maareesan follows conman (Fahadh Faasil) who tries to exploit elderly man with Alzheimer's (Vadivelu) on road trip. The Film is all set to stream on Netflix from August 22, 2025. Vadivelu delivers a standout emotional performance, moving beyond his usual comic roles. Though it underperformed at the box office, the film received critical acclaim and holds a strong IMDb rating of 8.2/10.
