With Love Gets Open Ground At The Weekend Box Office Collection

 Kollywood film *With Love*, which was made with a very low budget, is doing well at the box office during its first weekend. Even though it didn't have any festival support and faced competition from several new movies, the young drama still managed to get good numbers in the first two days.

According to trade reports, *With Love* earned 3.53 Crores net in two days and is expected to do even better on Sunday.

 The film stars Abishan Jeevinth, known from *Tourist Family*, and Answara Ranjan, a popular name from Malayalam cinema. It released last Friday and had a solid start with 1.60 Crore net.

The movie received positive feedback from both audiences and critics, which helped it do better on the second day, reaching 1.93 Crores net and making the total cross 3.53 Crores.

The coming-of-age romantic story succeeded because of the pleasant performances by the leads and the warm storytelling by first-time director Madan.

 Even though there were some slow parts, the film still caught the attention of viewers.

If the film continues to grow on Sunday, it will have a great opening weekend, especially when you consider the small budget and the talent involved in making it.

Arjun Puts Past Differences Aside With Vishwak Sen

 In the film world, misunderstandings happen all the time. But how people deal with them shows who they really are. Senior actor Arjun is showing exactly that right now.

A movie that once broke down because of a big controversy is finally coming out in theaters this Valentine's Day called Seetha Payanam.

 What makes this story interesting is the history behind it.

The movie was first planned with Vishwak Sen as the main actor.

 But things didn't go as planned. There were disagreements, and the project collapsed even before it could start. The issue became widely known, emotions got intense, and for a while, it was a big topic in the industry.

Instead of getting stuck in the past, Arjun decided to move on.

 He started over, brought in Kannada actor Niranjan for the lead role that was originally meant for Vishwak Sen, and completely redesigned the movie with a fresh approach. Now, after all the challenges, the film is finally ready for release.

The twist in this story is that Vishwak Sen is also coming out in theaters this weekend with his new movie Funky.

 It's turned into an unexpected competition between Seetha Payanam and Vishwak Sen's latest film.

People naturally wondered if there was still some unresolved anger between Arjun and Vishwak Sen.

 But Arjun has put that to rest. In a recent conversation, he clearly said he doesn't believe in bringing up old conflicts. He believes some projects don't work out due to various reasons, and there's no point in reopening old issues.

What's more, he sent his best wishes to Vishwak Sen and hoped that Funky would do well too.

 That gesture says more than any past disagreement.

In an industry full of ego and hidden rivalries, Arjun has chosen respect.

 And that might be the bigger story than the box office numbers this weekend.

Biggest Sankranthi Clash on Cards in Tollywood History

 If everything goes as planned, the 2027 Sankranti festival is set to be the biggest competition in Tollywood history, with all four top actors going head to head at the box office.

So far, Chiranjeevi, Balakrishna, Nagarjuna, and Venkatesh have never faced each other in their long careers.

 In the past, they have sometimes shared the screen during festivals, but the upcoming Sankranti is expected to bring them together in a rare and exciting showdown between the four biggest stars of Tollywood.

Already, director Anil Ravipudi has confirmed that his next film with Victory Venkatesh will be released for Sankranti.

 This movie is set to star Malayalam actor Fahad Fasil in a major role. Given Ravipudi's track record, the film is likely to be a big hit and will make it to the Sankranti season.

Venkatesh will be joined by another veteran, Akkineni Nagarjuna.

 He is said to have finalized the sequel to his 2016 hit Soggade Chinni Nayana. Kalyan Krishna is set to direct this movie, and it will bring together the Akkineni family with Akhil and Naga Chaitanya also joining the cast.

While Nagarjuna is currently busy shooting his 100th film under Ra Karthik, the production of the sequel will start soon.

 It is also expected that this 100th film will be released this year.

Both Venkatesh and Nagarjuna have already planned their Sankranti films.

 However, two other big stars, Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna, are also considering moving their projects to Sankranti.

After winning the Sankranti festival this year with Mana Shankar Vara Prasad Garu, Chiranjeevi is set to release another mass entertainer next year.

 This film is directed by KS Ravindra, also known as Bobby. This is the second time Chiranjeevi and Bobby have worked together, and fans have high hopes for their collaboration.

However, the production of this film has been delayed due to legal issues with KVN Productions over the movie Jana Nayagan.

 If the shoot starts soon, the team might push for a Sankranti release.

Balakrishna is also preparing to join the race with his film NBK111, directed by Gopichand Malineni, who is known for Veera Simha Reddy.

 Pre-production is already underway, and the team plans to wrap up filming before December to be ready for Sankranti 2027.

All four of these actors have massive fan bases, even though younger stars are now taking over.

 If they really do face off at the box office during their final years, this event could go down as one of the most memorable in Tollywood history.

Only time will tell if this clash between the greats actually happens.

Rajamouli’s IMAX Push: Will Mahesh Step In as Exhibitor?

In his latest interview, Rajamouli talked excitedly about bringing a real IMAX screen with the 1.43:1 format to India. When asked if such a screen would be ready for his big 2027 movie, Varanasi, the director joked but also said he's ready to go to IMAX's office in Los Angeles and protest until they agree.

What's interesting about this conversation is that IMAX has already said they are open to expanding in India.

 The main question is: if IMAX is ready, why aren't any Indian movie theater owners taking the lead? Some in the industry think government rules that limit how much people can pay for tickets might be a big reason.

Setting up and keeping a real IMAX 1.43:1 screen is very costly, and theater owners might feel the money isn't worth the risk.

 Others think the lack of long-term plans and high running costs are stopping them from trying something so big.

At the same time, fans have brought superstar Mahesh Babu into the conversation.

 With AMB Cinemas becoming one of the largest theater chains in Hyderabad and now in Bangalore, fans are asking Mahesh to take charge and push for change.

With Rajamouli clearly pushing for top-notch movie experiences, the pressure is on the theater owners to take bigger steps and think more boldly.

Sharwa’s Nari Nari Trending Top In India On Prime

Star Sharwa has once again brought the spirit of Sankranthi to life with the movie Nari Nari Naduma Murari, directed by Anil Sunkara. Following the success of Express Raja and Shatamanam Bhavati, this new film has become a big hit during the festival season. It's currently doing very well on Amazon Prime Video and attracting a lot of viewers.

Family-friendly movies are still the favorite choice for people watching on OTT platforms.

 Nari Nari Naduma Murari is a complete package with a lot of fun and touching moments throughout. The movie is being watched again and again by families, thanks to its funny parts and emotional connections.

A big reason for the movie's success is Sharwa.

 His good looks, funny acting, and easy way of being on screen make the story engaging. In the flashback scenes with Samyuktha, he looks young and full of energy, while his scenes with Sakshi Vaidya give off a cool and stylish feel. Naresh also adds to the movie's charm. Director Ram Abbaraju told the story in a very entertaining way.

With this success, Sharwa is getting ready for his next film, which is set for the 2027 Sankranthi celebration.

Shocking: Film Unit Spreads Fake News On Kidnaps to Get Buzz?

Something very surprising has happened in Delhi, the national capital, as it has been found out that a film team spread false news about a big increase in kidnappings in the city.

Before this, there were guesses that over 500 women and girls went missing in Delhi within the first 15 days of 2026.

 This would have made up almost two-thirds of all missing persons cases, according to police records. Out of the 807 people who were reported missing between January 1st and 15th, 509 were women and girls.

But on Friday, Delhi Police said the widespread claims about a huge rise in missing girls were just hype, created by people using social media for money.

 They promised to take strict action against those who are using public fear for profit.

This came after a lot of people were worried because of the reports that said more than 800 girls had disappeared in the city in just 15 days.

Earlier, something similar happened in Mumbai.

 At that time, Mumbai Police quickly denied the rumors and started legal action against those who were spreading the false information.

People on social media are now criticizing the makers of a specific film for spreading wrong information and causing public fear with stories about kidnaps and missing women and children.
