Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival
Five Tamil and Telugu OTT titles arrive this week across Netflix, Prime Video, SunNXT and ETVWin, including Ravi Teja’s Irumudi and Modha Rathri.
Netflix confirms October 2, 2026, for Love, a Tamil rom-com starring Arjun Das and Aishwarya Lekshmi, with a multilingual release across five languages.
Pehla Pyaar Doosri Baar, a Luv Ranjan romantic comedy, will release on October 23, 2026, introducing six debutant actors—Alisha Chopra, Sparsh Walia, Sakshi Vaidya, Kunal Vaid, Sargun Kaur Luthra and Tushar Chhibber—directed by Anuj Saini and produced by Luv Ranjan and Ankur Garg under Luv Films.
A source reveals Arijit Singh recorded nearly 200 takes for Jai Jai Ram, the devotional song from Ramayana, signaling meticulous music-making ahead of the 2026 release window.
Dulquer Salmaan’s romantic drama Aakasamlo Oka Tara is set for theatres on November 20, 2026. The film, directed by Pavan Sadineni, features Satvika Veeravalli as the lead female actor with Shruti Haasan in a key role, and GV Prakash Kumar composing the music.
Kamal Haasan launched Rashmika Mandanna-starrer MS Subbulakshmi biopic on the musician’s 110th birth anniversary, with Gowtam Tinnanuri directing and producers Allu Aravind, Rockline Venkatesh and Bunny Vas on board. The film features Rashmika as Subbulakshmi, and Haasan delivered a passionate tribute to the legendary singer.
Mirzapur The Movie posts Rs 3.75 crore nett on its 2nd Wednesday, taking 13-day total to Rs 194.75 crore nett, with a forecasted second week around Rs 55 crore.
Meghna Gulzar’s Daayra unfolds as a tense moral thriller, starring Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran. It probes delayed justice, accountability, and the tension between process and outcome, delivering a layered investigation rather than a punchy, conventional thriller. The film excels in writing and performances while acknowledging that its heavy subject matter may be emotionally challenging.
Hanuman Ansh posts Rs 6.25 crore net on its sixth Wednesday, lifting the India box-office total to about Rs 226 crore as the devotional biopic maintains a steady run.
