Mrs. and Mr. Promo Drama: Ilaiyaraaja Sues Over Use of “Sivarathri,” Wins Court Nod for Name Removal ( Photo Credit – Instagram; Facebook )

Music composer R. Ilaiyaraaja’s name has been removed from all promotional materials related to the Tamil movie Mrs. and Mr., Vanitha Film Productions informed the Madras High Court on Wednesday, July 23, 2025. The move came following a civil suit filed by the maestro to restrain the producers from exploiting his personality rights for the film’s promotion.

During the hearing, the court recorded the submission by Sridhar Moorthy, counsel for Vanitha Film Productions, that Ilaiyaraaja’s name had been removed from the promotional content posted on Instagram and other platforms. According to The Hindu, Ilaiyaraaja’s counsel, A. Saravanan, argued that using the composer’s name in the film’s advertisements was a clear case of misrepresentation since Ilaiyaraaja was not associated with the film’s music composition.

India’s theatrical market is flexing serious muscle in 2025, with the first six months delivering a robust 14% uptick that positions the market for a potential record-breaking year ahead.

The cumulative box office for January through June releases clocked in at INR5,723 crore ($664.2 million), marking a significant jump from the same period in 2024 and landing just INR12 crore ($1.4 million) shy of the all-time Jan-June record set in 2022, according to Ormax Media’s latest India Box Office Report.

June capped off the strong half-year showing with gross collections crossing $104.5 million, including projected future earnings from releases still playing in theaters. Hindi-language pics “Sitaare Zameen Par” ($23.3 million) and “Housefull 5” ($23.2 million) emerged as the month’s top earners. Tamil/Telugu-language title “Kuberaa” ($12.3 million) and Hollywood entry “F1: The Movie” rounded out June’s major contributors.

The momentum suggests 2025 could close at $1.57 billion — which would make it the best year ever at Indian cinemas.

Thug Life Box Office Day 4 Early Estimates

In the first three days, Mani Ratnam‘s directorial could only recover 15% of its total budget of 200 crores. It should have ideally crossed the 100 crore club, given the massive pre-release hype it enjoyed. The reality is far off, as it is yet to even clock half-century.

As per the early trends, Thug Life earned 6-7 crores on day 4. This includes earnings from Tamil, Telugu as well as the Hindi belt. The mixed word-of-mouth has badly impacted the film, which has suffered another 10-22% dip on Sunday.

After watching his work over the years, we can say that Riteish Deshmukh is one of the most underrated Bollywood actors. While he is simply superb in comedy, his range in different roles is quite impressive. His subtlety in some of the characters is really impactful and striking, especially when he plays an antagonist. His recent performance in Raid 2 is a prime example of that. And being an antagonist, his box office success ratio is rocking. Keep reading for a detailed report!

Riteish has carved his space through subtle negative acts

Riteish is mainly known for his comedy roles, but he has also been seen in negative shades on more than a couple of occasions throughout his career. In almost every negative role he has played throughout his career, the actor has pulled it off brilliantly without going overboard.

Kamal Haasan’s Thug Life released yesterday amid extremely high expectations, but has failed a big time. Yes, in isolation, the number might appear good, but considering the grandeur and scale of the film, it is very disappointing. The least expectation was to cross the 50 crore mark at the worldwide box office on day 1, but the biggie missed it by a considerable margin. Keep reading for a detailed collection report!

The Tamil action thriller was affected to some extent by Kamal Haasan’s major failure with Indian 2. Also, the controversy over the actor’s Kannada language remark attracted negative publicity to the film. The buzz didn’t peak as expected, and it was clearly reflected in the opening-day advance booking. Further, negative word-of-mouth restricted the growth during evening and night shows.

Let’s get straight to the point: Thug Life has failed to meet high expectations. Starring Kamal Haasan in the lead role, the Kollywood magnum opus promised a lot with its trailer, but unfortunately, the content has left the majority of the audience disappointed. This negativity took a major toll on day 1’s collection at the Indian box office, as it couldn’t even cross the 20 crore mark. Keep reading for a detailed report!

Fails to build the expected momentum

The biggest plus for the action thriller was the reunion of Kamal Haasan and director Mani Ratnam. This reunion factor helped the film to a certain extent, but that was clearly not enough. When the announcement video was dropped in November 2023, everyone got excited and hoped for a unique experience from Kamal and Mani’s duo.

Thug Life Movie Review(Photo Credit –Instagram)

What’s Good: Kamal Haasan’s performance, the gripping first half, some of the action sequences and Silambarasan’s performance.

What’s Bad: The second half completely falters, half-baked plot and sequences devoid of logic, no development of the supporting star cast.

Loo Break: You can honestly take one in the second half, it won’t result in much of a miss.

Watch or Not?: It can be a one-time watch for all the Kamal Haasan fans out there but it was certainly a missed opportunity.

We are done with the first half of the Kamal Haasan starrer Thug Life and till now, the plot keeps you hooked with some compelling twists and turns along with some intense performances. Kamal Haasan is intensity personified as Shaktivel. The first half ends with a high octane emotional sequence which leaves us wanting for more.

The plot revolves around Shaktivel (Kamal Haasan), a gangster-politician who claims to have been chased by ‘death’ ever since his birth. His life soon gets surrounded by power plays, betrayals, politics and gang war which forces him to question the intention of his own gang members and family members. Will Shaktivel fall prey to these conspiracies or will he emerge victorious this time around too?

The highlight of the first half remains in the gripping screenplay and storyline. Each...
