Thug Life box office collection Day 3: Kamal Haasan-starrer struggles to cross Rs 30 crore mark
On Saturday, Thug Life earned Rs 6.38 crore from the Tamil version, while the Hindi and Telugu versions brought in Rs 0.24 crore and Rs 0.52 crore, respectively. By the end of Day 3, the film's total box office collection stood at approximately Rs 29.79 crore.
The Mani Ratnam film's Tamil version had an overall occupancy of 39.12% on Saturday. The movie drew stronger footfall during evening and night shows.
The producers of Thug Life had earlier decided that the movie would not be released in Karnataka. The Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC) had said it would not let Thug Life release unless Kamal Haasan apologised for his 'Kannada was born out of Tamil' remar at a promotional event in Chennai. The actor's banner Raajkamal Films International filed a plea before the Karnataka High Court seeking protection for the release of the film. After a rap from the court over the remark, the producers made the decision to not screen the movie in Karnataka.
The gangster drama is directed by Mani Ratnam and produced by Raaj Kamal Films International and Madras Talkies. Thug Life also stars Trisha Krishnan, T.R. Silambarasan, Abhirami, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Ashok Selvan, Joju George, Nassar, Ali Fazal, and Mahesh Manjrekar in key roles.

‘Baby' team celebrates film's achievement at National Film Awards
The team of Baby came together in Hyderabad to celebrate the film's remarkable achievement at the 71st National Film Awards, where it won two prestigious honours — Best Screenplay for director Sai Rajesh and Best Playback Singer for PVNS Rohith for the hit track Premistunna. Speaking at the press meet, singer PVNS Rohith expressed his joy, saying, 'Before Baby, my career was uncertain. When I got the opportunity to sing Premistunna, I treated it as a do-or-die moment. Winning the National Award feels surreal.' Director Sai Rajesh shared, 'Baby lived in my mind for two years. I rewrote every scene multiple times. Winning Best Screenplay is a proud moment. And Rohith's voice made Premistunna a soul-stirring anthem.' Producer SKN called the achievement a proud moment for Telugu cinema, saying, 'This film has brought not just awards like Filmfare and SIIMA, but now National recognition too. A good film brings honour, not just profits.' Actor Anand Deverakonda called the win a dream come true: 'Seeing 'National Award Winner' on our poster is overwhelming. Baby truly became a cult hit.' With post-release impact still strong after two years, the Baby team expressed heartfelt gratitude to fans and the media for supporting their emotional, award-winning journey.

Is Priyanka Chopra Making Her Bollywood Comeback With Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love And War?
Priyanka Chopra's recent throwback post about Ram Chahe Leela has sparked major speculation about her return to Bollywood. It's been a while since Priyanka Chopra graced the Hindi film screen — six years, to be precise. Ever since the global icon shifted base to the US in 2015, she's made only two Bollywood appearances, the most recent being The Sky Is Pink in 2019. But if recent speculation is to be believed, the desi girl might just be on the cusp of a long-awaited homecoming. On Friday, Chopra set the internet abuzz with a rare throwback post on Instagram — a tribute to her fiery dance number Ram Chahe Leela from Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela (2013). What stood out wasn't just the choice of memory but the unusually long, heartfelt caption that accompanied it — a rarity for the actor when it comes to revisiting past work. Sharing an insight into how the iconic number came to be, Priyanka wrote, 'When Sanjay Sir came to me with this song, it was a complicated decision, but he, as a filmmaker, has always inspired me. His creative mind, his nostalgic stories usually over incredible food, the conversations of art and music to dance… the beauty of the yesteryears but also what the future holds. And then he played the song… and I knew I was her." She went on to recall working with choreographer Vishnu Deva and cinematographer Ravi Varman, adding, 'Under Sanjay sir's guidance, Ravi Varman's cinematography shone, and Vishnu Deva's choreography was magic. Him and I would rehearse during lunch breaks every day to perfect the dance sequences. This brings back such great memories." While the post read like a sentimental throwback, it also sparked intense speculation online. Industry insiders began to wonder: Was this more than just nostalgia? Now, a source has confirmed to Hindustan Times that the post may, in fact, be a subtle nod to something on the horizon — a possible special appearance in Bhansali's next directorial, Love & War. According to the source, Priyanka may feature in a high-octane special number in the period war drama, which stars Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal. While nothing has been officially signed yet, discussions are reportedly underway. If the collaboration materialises, it would mark Chopra's grand return to Hindi cinema — and that too with the very filmmaker who gave her one of her most celebrated dance numbers. Love & War, currently under production, is slated for release on March 20, 2026, and is being mounted on an epic scale. Reports suggest Bhansali is planning a face-off sequence between Ranbir and Vicky that could rival some of the most iconic scenes in Indian cinema history. Meanwhile, Priyanka is also committed to a major Indian production — SSMB29, her upcoming pan-India film with SS Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu. The ambitious venture also features Prithviraj Sukumaran, though the release date remains under wraps. The film is being pegged as one of the most anticipated cinematic events of the decade.

Filmmaker Aditya Kriplani Breaks Down In Tears As He Reviews Siddhant Chaturvedi's Dhadak 2
Filmmaker Aditya Kriplani gets emotional reviewing Dhadak 2, praising Siddhant Chaturvedi, Triptii Dimri, and Shazia Iqbal for their powerful work. Dhadak 2, starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri, is making quite a wave, and the word of mouth for the film is very strong. Today, filmmaker Aditya Kriplani took to his social media to review the film, and while talking about it, he broke down and heaped praises on Shazia Iqbal for making this beautiful film. While sharing the video, he attached it with a long caption that reads, '@shaz.3.0 and the team at Dharma Productions, aapko salaam. 🙏🏾❤️. Rahul Badwelkar, beautiful screenplay. @officialzakirhussain aapne kya khoobsoorat kaam kiya hai. @anubhafatehpuria aapne bhi. ❤️❤️❤️. I just saw another film of yours called Thursday Special." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Aditya Kripalani (@adityakripalani) '@saurabhsachdeva77 you were so, so good. So good. Beautiful. ❤️❤️❤️. @itsharishkhanna so beautiful you were. Especially in that last home scene. So torn. So torn. @manjiripupala beautiful work again. So happy for you. @deekshajoshi0412 @ beautiful work as usual. Especially the insult scene at college. Beautiful," he further added. Aditya concluded his note by adding, '@siddhantchaturvedi I've loved you this much after Gully Boy. Thank you for doing this film. That wedding scene and everything you felt after the insult was beautiful, beautiful. You've thrown yourself into it. Thank you. @tripti_dimri who are you?????? Who are you?????? I loved what you've done. Very, very beautiful. @shaz.3.0 you've made this film so beautifully." News18 also reviewed the film and gave it 3.5 stars out of 5, and a part of our review reads, ' It's worth noting that Dhadak 2 isn't an original story. It's a remake of the much-loved Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal. But even as a remake, it feels fresh and meaningful, especially in a world full of sloppy adaptations. This one stands tall. Dhadak 2 is the kind of film that screams good storytelling, and hence, it's a clear reminder to everyone that good movies can still be made, if the heartbeat (Dhadak) is in the right direction. If you've been craving an honest romantic thriller that's believable, then trust me and don't miss this one. Book your tickets now."
