Junior, produced by renowned industry names and backed by a strong cast including Sreeleela, Rao Ramesh, and Ravichandran Veeraswamy, appears to have found a small but steady audience. Whether it can hold through the weekdays and pick up again next weekend will determine its long-term box office run.
Our verdict
ETimes gave the film a rating of 3 stars and an excerpt from our review reads, "The film begins by focusing on college life and corporate culture, which may feel familiar and formulaic.With strong emotional arcs and touching dialogues, it delivers a story that resonates with audiences of all ages. With top technicians like Senthil Kumar behind the camera and Devi Sri Prasad composing the music, the film offers a visually rich and musically engaging experience.
It's a high-budget family entertainer that takes you back a decade or two—wrapped in warmth, emotion, action, drama, and memorable songs."

'It only applies to me': Martina Navratilova's wife Julia Lemigova calls out Jenn Fessler in explosive Instagram post after podcast drama (Image Via X) A new reality TV battle began July 25, 2025, as Julia Lemigova–a model, the reality cast-member of the Real Housewives of Miami series, and the wife of tennis legend Martina Navratilova, fired back at Jenn Fessler. The drama began because Jenn Fessler made comments about Julia Lemigova's altercation with co-star Guerdy Abraira on the podcast Two T's in a Pod. In the clip, Jenn Fessler claimed Lemigova kept Abraira away from a dinner table during a cruise. Julia Lemigova reacted quickly and sharply. What actually happened during that cruise dinner? Why did Julia feel betrayed? Here's how she set the record straight. What was Julia Lemigova's response to Jenn Fessler Lemigova posted a video on her Instagram Story, showing Fessler's comments, then added her own message: '@jennfessler, let's clear the air, because you yourself say you 'don't remember how it went down exactly.' Night 1 was dinner with Daniel Boulud, you, me & Guerdy. Captain Sandy's dinner? That was night 2, not 1.' She clarified that no cast member had control over dinner seating: 'You know NONE of us had any say over any dinner reservations.' Then came the sharp jab: 'I see why your castmates call you Flip-Flopping Fessler. Loyal one day, shady the next. Sorry you flew all the way to Miami only to be edited out of last night's episode!' Fans instantly picked up on the moment and lauded Julia for being honest while also remaining skeptical about Fessler's sentiments.
