Action & Fantasy! Gopichand’s Bhimaa Gets Second Shot on Disney+ Hotstar

Action star Gopichand is back! After a string of flops, he’s hoping to recapture his magic with Bhimaa (2024), a commercial film that blends cop action with a touch of fantasy. Directed by A. Harsha, the movie opened decently and even beat out Vishwak Sen’s Gaami (2024) during its second weekend.

While Bhimaa might not be a megahit, it wasn’t a complete disaster either, landing somewhere in the “average” zone at the box office. But here’s the good news for fans who missed it in theaters: Bhimaa gets a second chance to win them over on the small screen! The Bheema OTT release date is officially set for April 25 to premiere on Disney+ Hotstar, 2024.

So, if you missed the action and fantasy fun in theaters, you can catch Bhimaa on Disney+ Hotstar soon! The film also features the talented Priya Bhavani Shankar and Malavika Sharma as the leading ladies, with music composed by the popular Ravi Basur.

Blockbuster Hit: Tillu Square OTT Release Date and Collections

Siddhu Jonnalagadda and Anupama Parameswaran’s Tillu Square has become a crowd-pleaser! The movie has been getting fantastic word-of-mouth and is absolutely crushing it at the box office. With a worldwide gross already surpassing 100 crores, Tillu Square has become the go-to movie for weekend entertainment.

But wait, there’s more! If you missed it in theaters, you won’t have to wait long to catch Tillu Square at home. The Tillu Square OTT rights have been snatched up by none other than Netflix for a cool 35 crores! This means you can expect to see Tillu Square streaming on Netflix sometime after the 4-week theatrical window closes.

While the official Tillu Square OTT release date hasn’t been confirmed yet, whispers suggest it could be around April 26th or 27th. In the meantime, Tillu Square continues to dominate theaters, especially in the Nizam and Overseas markets. These regions have contributed a whopping 20 crores (excluding GST) and 28 crores respectively to the film’s total. Strong bookings for the upcoming Sri Rama Navami holiday suggest the worldwide gross might even hit 110-120 crores!

So, whether you catch it in theaters or on OTT, this hilarious film is definitely worth checking out!

Family Flop: Vijay Deverakonda Family Star OTT Release Date Announced

Good news for Vijay Deverakonda fans, who want to see the movie! The Family Star OTT Release Date has been announced! The film will be available to stream on the leading OTT platform, Amazon Prime Video, starting May 3rd. Despite its lackluster theatrical run, this offers a chance to catch the movie at home.

The much-anticipated film Family Star, starring Vijay Deverakonda and Mrunal Thakur, couldn’t translate pre-release buzz into box office success. Despite the hotshot pairing, harsh reviews from the opening show crippled the film’s momentum. Family Star box office performance was a major disappointment, only managing to collect around 15 crores worldwide. This is far from its budget and initial expectations, leaving buyers with significant losses. Bookings for the weekend were dismal, dashing any hope of a turnaround. The film is expected to wrap up its theatrical run with a worldwide collection under 18 crores, marking a clear box office failure.

While the reunion of Vijay Deverakonda and director Parasuram after their hit “Geetha Govindam” couldn’t save the film in theaters, it might find a new audience on streaming.

The epic clash between Godzilla and Kong wasn’t just a global smash, it roared its way into the hearts (and wallets) of Indian audiences! This latest MonsterVerse movie just stomped into the elite 100 Crore Club, proving Indian fans love a good giant monster brawl.

Telugu states weren’t far behind, throwing down a cool 15 Crore. Even Karnataka and Kerala got in on the action, bringing in over 10 Crore and 5 Crore respectively. That’s a monstrous 55 Crore from South India alone!

The rest of the country didn’t disappoint either, pushing the total India gross past the coveted 100 Crore mark. And the good news keeps coming – Godzilla and Kong are still packing theaters this weekend, with strong bookings keeping the party going.

In case you missed it, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire follows Kong on a wild journey to find his own kind in the mysterious Hollow Earth. But things get hairy (or should we say, scaly?) when they encounter a new, even more terrifying foe. Luckily, Godzilla decides to team up with Kong to take down this monstrous menace! Directed by Adam Wingard, the film also features a stellar human cast including Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry, and Dan Stevens.

Tollywood power duo Mahesh Babu and Venkatesh are teaming up for a brand new project, but it’s not a movie! The actors are joining forces to invest in a multiplex in Hyderabad. This isn’t Mahesh Babu’s first foray into the cinema business – he already partnered with Asian Cinemas to launch the successful AMB Cinemas. Now, Venkatesh steps up to the plate!

Asian Cinemas seems to have a knack for roping in big stars for their multiplex ventures. They’ve collaborated with Allu Arjun for AAA Cinemas and Vijay Deverakonda for AVD Cinemas. This time, it’s Mahesh Babu and Venkatesh for a new multiplex at Hyderabad’s RTC Crossroads. Rumors suggest the existing Sudharsha 35MM theater might make way for this project, and the name could be AMB Victory Cinemas, keeping in line with their previous ventures.

Interestingly, Venkatesh’s family already owns multiplex chains across both Telugu states, operated by his brother Suresh Babu. This marks Venky’s personal step into the multiplex game!

On the movie front, Mahesh Babu is busy filming his upcoming globetrotting project with the legendary S.S. Rajamouli. This pan-India film promises to be a grand spectacle. Venkatesh, after his last outing in “Saindhav,” is reportedly working with director Anil Ravipudi on a film titled “Sankrathiki Vasthunnam.”
