Su From So Karnataka Box Office 2nd Saturday Update: Kannada blockbuster registers biggest day of its run; Set for Rs 60 crore plus finish
Su From So, directed by JP Thuminad and starring Raj B Shetty is on a historic run at the Karnataka box office. The movie is having a kind of run that very few movies enjoy. After an excellent first week of Rs 20.80 crore gross, the movie added Rs 3.80 crore on its second Friday. The second Friday collections were not just higher than the first Friday collections, but they were almost four times the day 1 number. On second Saturday, the estimates for Su From So are an incredible Rs 5.50 crore. The Day Wise Karnataka Gross Collections Of Su From So Are As Under Day Karnataka Gross Collections Week 1 Rs 20.80 crore 2nd Friday Rs 3.80 crore 2nd Saturday Rs 5.50 crore (est) Total Rs 30.10 crore gross in 9 days Su From So's 2nd Weekend In Karnataka Will Be Twice As Big As Its First A Rs 15 crore second weekend is on the cards, and that would mean that the second weekend collections will be more than double of the first weekend collections. The second week will certainly be higher than the first week. The early projections are that Su From So will end up with a lifetime of Rs 60 - 70 crore. For a movie to double its first week numbers is already considered to be excellent, but for it to do three times or more is just phenomenal. Su From So Is Performing Well Despite Strong Local Competition One must not forget that Su From So is playing in theatres when multiple Indian movies are performing well. Saiyaara, Mahavatar Narsimha, Thalaiva Thalaivi and Kingdom are already doing well and Son Of Sardaar 2 and Dhadak 2 have also taken up screens. The future of Indian cinema looks bright with majority audiences preferring content over stars. The films that have recently done well are the films with no big cast. One of them is an animated film that already has a limited market in a country like India. Su From So In Theatres

Marathi cinema shines bright at 71st National Film Awards
MARATHI CINEMA once again asserted its creative prowess at the 71st National Film Awards, with a diverse range of films clinching honours across critical categories. Marathi filmmakers and artists were celebrated for their contribution to Indian cinema with 'Shyamchi Aai' winning the Best Marathi Feature Film award. Directed by Sujay Sunil Dahake, Shyamchi Aai offered a contemporary cinematic retelling of the classic Marathi novel by Sane Guruji. The jury commended its sensitive exploration of values, sacrifice, and familial bonds set against a rural backdrop. The film was awarded the Rajat Kamal. Marathi cinema has always held a historic legacy at the National Film Awards, being the very first to be recognised at the highest level. In 1954, 'Shyamchi Aai', directed by P.K. Atre, was awarded the President's Gold Medal for the All India Best Feature Film, a recognition now known as the National Film Award for Best Feature Film. This heartwarming story of a mother's sacrifice marked the beginning of a prestigious tradition for Marathi films. In the debut category, 'Aatmapamphlet', directed by Ashish Bende, was honoured with the Best Debut Film of a Director in the Feature Film section. The film stood out for its stylised narrative and bold thematic choices, reflecting the inner world of adolescence and rebellion. The film was awarded the Swarna Kamal. Continuing Marathi cinema's strength in children's storytelling, 'Naal 2', directed by Sudhakar Reddy Yakkanti, received the award for Best Children's Film. The film, a sequel to the 2018 critically acclaimed Naal, appealed to audiences across age groups and earned the Swarna Kamal. In the performance categories, Marathi films dominated the Best Child Artist segment. Three young actors from Naal 2: Treesha Thosar, Shrinivas Pokale, and Bhargav Jagtap, were jointly honoured for their nuanced performances. Additionally, Kabir Khandare was awarded in the same category for his role in 'Gypsy', another Marathi film, which presented a moving narrative of a child's bond with nature and his struggle for acceptance. With these films reflect the diversity and depth of storytelling emerging from Maharashtra, Marathi cinema has once again reaffirmed its place as a vital and dynamic force within the broader spectrum of Indian cinema.
