Kannappa X Review: Akshay Kumar, Prabhas, Vishnu Manchu's fantasy drama gets mixed reactions, netizens say 'lacks in first…'
'Kannappa,' a Telugu mythological action drama starring Vishnu Manchu, has officially hit theaters on June 27, 2025. Helmed by Mukesh Kumar Singh and produced by veteran actor Mohan Babu, the film tells the story of Kannappa, a tribal hunter who becomes a devoted follower of Lord Shiva. Initial audience reactions have been shared on platform X (formerly known as Twitter), providing insight into how viewers are reacting to this fantasy drama, which has a star-studded cast.
After its trailer launch and songs, this film generated enormous buzz amongst the fans and cinema goers; however, after its initial release, it has received mixed responses from sections of netizens. While fans of Prabhas, Akshay Kumar and Mohanlal are praising them for their dynamic screen presence and the second half's last 30 minutes, many have criticised it for its poorly written first half.
One fan who watched the film said, 'A visually grand mythological epic with a soul-stirring climax! #VishnuManchu shines, especially in the final 30 mins, with powerful cameos by #Prabhas, #Mohanlal & #AkshayKumar.

Meet actress who was abandoned by her father, made her debut at age of 12, worked in 180 films, net worth is Rs..., her name is…
The Indian film industry has seen many actresses whose performances and personal lives have captivated fans and the media alike. However, one actress stands out, not only for her talent but also for the constant attention her personal life received, sometimes overshadowing her film work. The Evergreen Rekha We are referring to Bhanurekha Ganesan, popularly known as Rekha. She began her career as a child artist and eventually became a superstar. Born in 1954 to South Indian actors Gemini Ganesan and Pushpavalli, her parents never married, despite their long-term affair. They also had another daughter, Radha, born in 1955. Rekha's childhood was tumultuous, marked by an absent father who refused to acknowledge her. This contributed to her decision to keep her family background private until the mid-1970s. Despite these challenges, Rekha was destined for professional success. Rekha made her film debut at the age of 12 in the Telugu movie 'Rangula Ratnam.' She later appeared in the Kannada film 'Operation Jackpot Nalli C.I.D 999' in 1969. That same year, she also acted in her first Hindi film, 'Anjana Safar,' which faced a ten-year delay due to censorship issues. Ultimately, her first Hindi film to be released was 'Sawan Bhadon' (1970), a major hit that established her as a rising star. Over her extensive career, Rekha has appeared in more than 180 films, including 'Umrao Jaan' (1981), 'Muqaddar Ka Sikandar' (1978), 'Khoobsurat' (1980), Ijaazat' (1987), 'Khoon Bhari Maang' (1988), and 'Silsila' (1981). Throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, she was among the top actresses in Hindi cinema. More About Rekha In 1990, Rekha took marriage vows with Mukesh Aggarwal, an industrialist from Delhi and the owner of the kitchenware brand Hotline. Mukesh, who struggled with depression for a long time, took his own life just months after their wedding while Rekha was in London. This event deeply affected Rekha, leading her to remain single for the rest of her life. Rekha is a self-made individual with a remarkable career and a net worth exceeding Rs 300 crore, which includes luxury cars, a lavish bungalow valued at 100 crore in Mumbai, and various other assets.

Maa Day 1 India Box Office: Kajol's film springs a surprise; Nets Rs 4.25 crore amidst competition from F1 and Sitaare Zameen Par
Kajol led Maa, directed by Vishal Furia, has opened to a respectable Rs 4-4.50 crore at the Indian box office. This is a solid start for the film, especially considering the tough competition it faces. The holdover juggernaut Sitaare Zameen Par, the Hollywood biggie F1, and the new South Indian ensemble Kannappa are all craving for audience attention. Despite this, Maa has managed to carve out its space, and that's no small feat. Maa Opens To Rs 4.25 Crore Net On Day 1 In India; Good Start Amidst Stiff Competition The film released across 1500 screens in India, which is a modest count. Many screens are sharing shows with other movies, limiting Maa's showtimes. Yet, the Rs 4.25 crore opening is a pleasant surprise. The film's connection to the Shaitaan universe has played a big role in drawing audiences. Without this link, the opening could have been lower. Fans of Shaitaan are curious to see how Maa fits into this supernatural world, and that curiosity has given the film a boost. The Day Wise India Net Collections Of Maa Are As Under Maa Shall Have To Show Strong Growth Over The Weekend And Then Steady Itself Over The Weekdays A Rs 4 crore start gives Maa a strong foundation to grow. If word-of-mouth is positive, the film could see a good jump over the weekend. The target now is to sustain this momentum. A healthy weekend performance could put Maa on the path to success. The film's budget is on the higher side for a female-led project, which makes these early numbers crucial. However, Maa has secured strong non-theatrical deals, thanks to its Shaitaan connection. These deals provide a financial cushion, easing some of the pressure on box office performance. Maa Is Aided By Ticket Booking Offers One key factor in Maa's day 1 collections is the Buy 2 Get 1 offer on BookMyShow. This deal has encouraged group bookings, thus boosting ticket sales. The offer has been a smart move, especially in a crowded market where audiences have multiple options. It's helped Maa attract families and younger viewers, who are drawn to Kajol 's star power and the film's intriguing premise. All Eyes Are On How Maa Performs In The Days To Follow If Maa maintains steady collections after a good first weekend of around Rs 17 crore, it could emerge as a success story. For now, Maa's Rs 4.25 crore opening is a promising start. The stage is set for Kajol's film to shine. You can watch Maa in theatres, now. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates on Maa.
