On the occasion of Puri Jagannadh’s birthday, the makers released a new glimpse introducing Zareena Wahab’s character Zubeidaa. The emotional video gives a glimpse into the difficult life of people forced into begging and adds a sensitive human angle to the film.

In the glimpse, Zubeidaa explains to her son how she ended up begging after going to a railway station. The sequence then shifts focus to the harsh realities faced by beggars, presenting their struggles and emotions in a grounded manner.

Zareena Wahab brings authenticity and emotional depth to the character, making the introduction impactful. Vijay Sethupathi also makes an appearance in the glimpse, further adding to the anticipation surrounding the film.

Produced by Puri Jagannadh and Charmme Kaur under Puri Connects, in association with JB Narayan Rao Kondrolla’s JB Motion Pictures, the movie stars Samyuktha as the female lead. The ensemble cast also includes Duniya Vijay, Brahmaji, and VTV Ganesh, among others.

With its intriguing characters and emotional backdrop, Slum Dog: 33 Temple Road is generating interest ahead of its release. The makers are expected to announce the release date soon.

Nani’s The Paradise is making strong noise at the box office despite mixed-to-negative reactions online. The Srikanth Odela directorial has delivered a massive first weekend, collecting around Rs 138 crore worldwide in just four days and registering the biggest weekend of Nani’s career.

 

The film witnessed a noticeable drop on its second day after its release, but it quickly picked up momentum and maintained a strong pace over the following days. Despite heavy trolling and negative chatter on social media, The Paradise has managed to hold its ground at the box office.

Released in India on September 23, The Paradise opened to largely negative reactions on social media, while reviews were mixed to negative. However, the response did not prevent the film from recording the biggest opening day of Nani’s career.

According to the latest trade figures, The Paradise has collected around Rs 109 crore gross in India across Telugu, Hindi and other languages. The overseas market has contributed more than Rs 29 crore, taking the film’s worldwide gross to approximately Rs 138 crore in four days.

The Nani and Kayadu Lohar starrer has also performed strongly in North America, crossing the $2 million mark during its first weekend. The film is directed by Srikanth Odela and produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri.

With its latest collections, The Paradise has already surpassed the lifetime grosses of several of Nani’s previous films and has emerged as the highest-grossing film of his career so far.

The crucial question now is how strongly The Paradise can sustain its momentum during the coming weekdays. For now, the film’s box-office performance has remained strong despite the negative chatter surrounding its release, giving Nani another major career milestone.

The much-awaited promotions of Venkatesh’s Adarsha Kutumbam have finally begun, and the makers have kick-started the campaign with the release of the film’s first single, Narayanamma. The song arrives at an important juncture in the movie and brings together Venkatesh, Dimple Hayathi, Sreenidhi Shetty, and Nivetha Pethuraj in a vibrant dance number.

Composed by Thaman, Narayanamma follows his familiar mass-oriented style, powered by heavy beats and energetic arrangements. While the song may not sound particularly fresh or experimental, its catchy rhythm and colourful visuals are likely to appeal to mass audiences. The glamorous presentation, along with the energetic dance performances, adds to the overall visual appeal.

Ramajogaiah Sastry has penned the lyrics for the song, which also carries a pleasant family-oriented vibe. Dimple Hayathi, Sreenidhi Shetty, and Nivetha Pethuraj impress with their dance moves, while Venkatesh adds his own energy to the number. The combination of the star cast, vibrant visuals, and mass beats makes Narayanamma a promotional asset for the film.

The previously released teaser of Adarsha Kutumbam had generated curiosity among audiences. However, a section of viewers felt that the teaser did not fully showcase the trademark Trivikram Srinivas style of family entertainment and comedy that audiences usually associate with his films.

Billed as a family entertainer, Adarsha Kutumbam is expected to blend comedy, family emotions, and action elements. Venkatesh will be seen in a family-man role, adding another interesting dimension to the film.

Produced by Haarika & Hassine Creations, Adarsha Kutumbam is scheduled to hit the big screens on October 9. With the release of Narayanamma, the film’s promotional campaign has officially picked up momentum, and audiences will be watching closely for the upcoming promotional material.
