Shoojit Sircar to direct Manoj Bajpayee and Rajkummar Rao in a mythological comedy; Filming begins 2026

After delivering hard-hitting dramas and slice-of-life masterpieces, acclaimed filmmaker Shoojit Sircar is all set to return to the genre that made him a household name. Reports confirm that the director of Vicky Donor and Piku is developing a brand-new comedy film. However, in true Sircar style, this won't be a run-of-the-mill entertainer. The project is being touted as a mythological comedy,a sub-genre rarely explored in Indian cinema, promising a fresh and quirky cinematic experience. To bring this unique vision to life, Shoojit Sircar has reportedly pulled off a massive casting coup. The film will headline two of India's most versatile actors—Manoj Bajpayee and Rajkummar Rao. Both actors are known for their impeccable comic timing and ability to slip into rooted characters effortlessly. While they have individually redefined acting standards, seeing them share the screen in a full-blown comedy under Sircar’s direction is a prospect that has already got the trade buzzing. Sources close to the development reveal that the film will feature a unique plot centered around a mythological twist. The narrative is said to reimagine a pivotal chapter from the epic Mahabharata but with a humorous and eccentric approach. The director aims to balance modern storytelling elements with the traditional ethos of the epic, creating a satire that is both witty and culturally rooted. This unconventional premise is expected to be a game-changer, blending social commentary with laugh-out-loud moments. Currently, the project is in the scripting and pre-production stage. With both lead actors occupied with their prior commitments, the film is scheduled to go on floors in 2026. Shoojit Sircar, whose last release I Want To Talk (starring Abhishek Bachchan) received critical acclaim for its emotional depth, is keen to switch gears and offer the audience a light-hearted yet meaningful entertainer. As the team finalizes the rest of the cast and crew, fans can look forward to one of the most exciting collaborations of the coming year. Shoojit Sircar has a proven track record of extracting the best performances from his actors, be it Amitabh Bachchan in Piku or Varun Dhawan in October. With powerhouses like Manoj Bajpayee and Rajkummar Rao on board, this mythological comedy is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated announcements in Bollywood.

Movies Releasing This Week: Dhanush's Tere Ishk Mein, Vijay Varma's Gustaakh Ishq or Bengali thriller Danab - Which one is your weekend pick?

The final week of November 2025 sets the stage for a massive theatrical clash. The box office is expected to be dominated by the explosive reunion of Dhanush and Aanand L. Rai in Tere Ishk Mein, a film that promises to reignite the obsessive passion of Raanjhanaa. However, the "Mass" entertainer faces an elegant challenger in Manish Malhotra’s poetic production debut, which takes us back to the romance of the 90s. Beyond these Hindi giants, the lineup remains diverse with a festival-acclaimed murder mystery, a bold conversation starter on menopause, and a gritty Bengali psychological thriller for regional cinema lovers. Gustaakh Ishq Release Date: November 28, 2025 Director: Vibhu Puri Production: Stage5 Productions (Manish Malhotra) Cast: Vijay Varma, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Naseeruddin Shah, Sharib Hashmi Marking the highly anticipated production debut of ace fashion designer Manish Malhotra under his banner Stage5 Productions, Gustaakh Ishq (previously titled Ul Jalool Ishq) promises a visual and auditory feast. Set in the charming, pre-mobile era of the 1990s in Old Delhi, the film is a poetic ode to old-school romance and Urdu literature. Director Vibhu Puri, known for his visual flair in Hawaizaada, teams up with the legendary musical duo of Vishal Bhardwaj and Gulzar, ensuring the soundtrack is as evocative as the setting. For actor Vijay Varma, known for his intense roles in streaming hits like Darlings, this film serves as a significant theatrical test as he steps into a soft, romantic solo lead role, supported by a powerhouse cast including Fatima Sana Shaikh, Sharib Hashmi, and the veteran Naseeruddin Shah. Kaisi Ye Paheli Release Date: November 28, 2025 Director: Ananyabrata Chakravorty (Debut) Production: Take Pictures Cast: Sukant Goel, Sadhana Singh, Rajit Kapur, Chittaranjan Giri. A "sleeper hit" candidate. This dark comedy-murder mystery is set in a sleepy hill town in Northeast India. It explores the relationship between a lonely mother and her policeman son who are drawn into a puzzling homicide. The film has already garnered praise at the New York Indian Film Festival (NYIFF).The film marks a rare and significant comeback for Sadhana Singh, the star of the 1982 blockbuster Nadiya Ke Paar. For audiences who grew up in the 80s, her return is a major hook. Rajit Kapur plays a character named 'Detective Bondo'. This is a meta-casting choice, as Kapur is immortalized in Indian pop culture as the original Byomkesh Bakshi (1993). Seeing him back in a sleuthing role is a treat for genre fans.The film is crowdfunded, meaning it relies entirely on content and word-of-mouth rather than marketing muscle. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Me No Pause Me Play Release Date: November 28, 2025 Director: Samar K. Mukherjee Production: Mirrro Films Cast: Kamya Punjabi, Deepshikha Nagpal, Sudha Chandran, Aman Verma. Marketed as "India’s first mainstream feature film on Menopause," this social drama is based on the book by Manoj Kumar Sharma. It aims to destigmatize the physical and emotional changes women face during this phase.The cast is a Who's Who of Indian Television. Kamya Punjabi and Sudha Chandran command massive loyalty from TV audiences. The film's success depends on whether this television fanbase translates to ticket sales for a social-cause film. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Tere Ishk Mein Release Date: November 28, 2025 Director: Aanand L. Rai Production: Colour Yellow Productions & T-Series Cast: Dhanush, Kriti Sanon, Prakash Raj This is the heavyweight title of the week. Reteaming the dream trio of director Aanand L. Rai, actor Dhanush, and composer A.R. Rahman, this film carries massive expectations. The story is an intense, aggressive romance set against the backdrop of student politics and tragedy, much like their previous collaboration. The makers have officially called this a "spiritual sequel" to the 2013 blockbuster Raanjhanaa. While the story is different, it is set in the same "world" and carries the same DNA of obsessive love and rage. Dhanush's character is named 'Shankar', a nod to the lord of destruction, mirroring his character 'Kundan' from the first film.This marks Dhanush’s return to Hindi theatrical screens after a decade (since Shamitabh in 2015; Atrangi Re was a direct-to-OTT release). Given the cult status of Raanjhanaa, the opening day figures are expected to be the highest of the week.With Irshad Kamil on lyrics and Rahman on music, the album is already a chartbuster, which is usually a strong indicator of a film's opening success in India. Danab (Bengali) Release Date: November 27, 2025 Director: Atiul Islam Production: Mohona Films Cast: Kharaj Mukherjee, Piyar Khan, Rupsha Mukhopadhyay, Laboni Sarkar Danab (The Demon) is a psychological thriller with a grim premise. The story follows Shiba, a man working in a morgue, whose life turns upside down when the body of his loved one arrives for an autopsy, triggering a chain of dark revelations about rape and power. One of the most versatile actors in Bengali cinema, Mukherjee transitions effortlessly between comedy and menacing villainy. His presence anchors the film's performance quality. Despite the dark theme, the film features music by high-profile singers like Javed Ali and rock icon Rupam Islam, ensuring the soundtrack has mass appeal even if the subject matter is niche. The final week of November 2025 is shaping up to be a fascinating battle between "Mass Emotion" and "Class Aesthetics." While Tere Ishk Mein is undoubtedly the box-office juggernaut that will drive opening weekend footfalls with its high-octane passion and star power, Gustaakh Ishq offers a visually stunning alternative for those craving poetry and nostalgia. However, do not overlook the hidden gems of the week. Films like the gritty Bengali thriller Danab and the festival-acclaimed Kaisi Ye Paheli offer the kind of gripping, content-driven storytelling that often leads to cult success. Whether you are in the mood for the aggressive romance of a blockbuster, the charm of the 90s, or a dark mystery, this week’s theatrical slate has a ticket for everyone

Rewriting the Verdict The Decades-Long Journey of Bollywoods Most Misunderstood Masterpieces

In the unforgiving world of Bollywood, the Friday box office verdict is often seen as the final word. Yet, history is littered with cinematic gems that were dismissed upon arrival, only to be resurrected by a generation of viewers who saw the magic that critics and initial audiences missed. These are the films that failed to make money but went on to make history, transitioning from box office disasters to beloved cult legends. Their journeys prove that a film's true worth isn't always measured in opening weekend collections but in its enduring ability to connect, entertain, and provoke thought long after the "flop" label has faded. Here’s a look at some of Bollywood's most celebrated phoenixes that rose from the ashes of commercial failure. Mera Naam Joker (1970): The Magnum Opus That Broke Its Creator Raj Kapoor's four-hour epic was a financial catastrophe that nearly bankrupted him. Audiences rejected its melancholic tone. Years after its failure, its ultimate cult status was cemented when television allowed viewers to watch the full director's cut at their own pace. This home-viewing experience allowed audiences to finally appreciate the profound, autobiographical masterpiece that was too overwhelming for a single theatrical viewing. Mera Naam Joker: Fact File Director: Raj Kapoor Starring: Raj Kapoor, Simi Garewal, Manoj Kumar, Rishi Kapoor The Turning Point: Home viewing of the full director's cut on television. Defining Legacy: Considered Raj Kapoor's most personal, ambitious, and autobiographical project. Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro (1983): The Satire That Was Ahead of Its Time Released in just four theaters, Kundan Shah's biting satire on corruption sank without a trace. The film's legacy was built through its circulation on home video (VHS tapes) and its broadcast on Doordarshan, India's national television network. This brought its genius to a wider audience, and the legendary Mahabharata scene is now considered a textbook example of satire in film schools across the country. Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro: Fact File Director: Kundan Shah Starring: Naseeruddin Shah, Ravi Baswani, Om Puri, Pankaj Kapur The Turning Point: Broadcasts on Doordarshan & circulation on VHS tapes. Defining Legacy: The chaotic and legendary Mahabharata climax scene. Andaz Apna Apna (1994): The Comedy That Laughed Last A shocking commercial failure upon release due to poor marketing, this comedy masterpiece found its second life in a way no one could have predicted. Its true resurrection came via satellite television, where endless reruns on channels like Sony Max turned it into a national phenomenon. Its quirky characters and endlessly quotable dialogues became ingrained in India’s pop culture, ensuring its legacy not in theaters, but in the living rooms of millions. Andaz Apna Apna: Fact File Director: Rajkumar Santoshi Starring: Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Raveena Tandon, Karisma Kapoor The Turning Point: Constant reruns on satellite television. Defining Legacy: The characters of Crime Master Gogo and Teja; dialogues becoming everyday slang. Swades (2004): The Understated Gem That Found Its Home Considered too slow and didactic upon release, this Shah Rukh Khan starrer was a box office disappointment. The film's incredible turnaround is quantified by its massive success on television, where it has consistently garnered huge TRPs (Television Rating Points) with every broadcast. This overwhelming response proved that the film's heartfelt patriotism resonated deeply, confirming its status as a classic that simply needed a different medium. Swades: Fact File Director: Ashutosh Gowariker Starring: Shah Rukh Khan, Gayatri Joshi The Turning Point: Consistently high television ratings (TRPs) during broadcasts. Defining Legacy: The song "Yeh Jo Des Hai Tera" becoming an unofficial anthem for Indians living abroad. Lakshya (2004): The Coming-of-Age Story That Found Its Target Despite critical acclaim, Farhan Akhtar's film underperformed commercially. Its powerful legacy is marked by its enduring influence on Indian youth; the film is widely credited with inspiring a surge of interest in joining the armed forces. Its adoption as a motivational anthem has cemented its place as a film whose cultural impact far outweighs its box office numbers. Lakshya: Fact File Director: Farhan Akhtar Starring: Hrithik Roshan, Preity Zinta, Amitabh Bachchan The Turning Point: Adoption by youth as a go-to motivational film. Defining Legacy: Credited with inspiring a renewed interest among youth to join the Indian Army. Tumbbad (2018): The Horror That Rewrote Its Own Fate This visually stunning folk tale had a quiet run at the box office. Its resurrection was driven by streaming platforms, leading to a theatrical re-release in 2024 where its first week's collection surpassed the lifetime earnings of its original run. This is a powerful modern example of how a passionate fanbase can directly rewrite a film's financial and critical history. Tumbbad: Fact File Director: Rahi Anil Barve Starring: Sohum Shah The Turning Point: Word-of-mouth phenomenon on streaming platforms. Defining Legacy: Its 2024 re-release out-earning its entire original theatrical run. These films serve as a vital reminder that the Friday verdict is not always final. True cinematic art often requires time to find its audience, proving that while box office numbers fade, the impact of a great story is eternal.

Idhayam Murali A nostalgic romance lined up for Valentine’s Day 2026

Tamil cinema is quietly warming up for a heartfelt Valentine’s Day season in 2026, and one of the films shaping into a true emotional pick is Idhayam Murali. Headlined by Atharvaa Murali and backed by debutant filmmaker Aakash Baskaran, the film carries both legacy and fresh energy — the kind that appeals to audiences who enjoy rooted romance with a touch of nostalgia. The film’s name is not just a creative choice — it carries emotional weight. Atharvaa steps into a project that nods to the legacy of his late father, Murali, whose debut Idhayam became a cult romantic drama in the early ’90s. The makers have made it clear, though: Idhayam Murali isn’t a remake or a sequel. It simply honours a sentiment while telling an all-new story about youth, love and the kind of longing that time doesn’t easily erase. Atharvaa plays a medical student-turned-doctor whose love story travels between touchstone memories and present-day realizations. There’s friendship, heartbreak and emotional conflict — not in a dramatic, heavy-handed way, but with the gentle charm of campus life, growing-up moments and life pushing people in unexpected directions.Interesting visual cues in the first single Idhayaa — Walkmans, floppy disks, vintage PCs, early gaming consoles — hint at nostalgic slices of the 90s and 2000s being woven into the storyline. It’s romance treated with simplicity rather than flair, letting personal moments breathe on screen. Kayadu Lohar and Preity Mukhundhan lead opposite Atharvaa, while the film pulls together a strong technical team — Manoj Paramahamsa behind the lens and Pradeep E. Ragav handling cuts. Music is by Thaman, who not only returns with a melodic sound but also appears in front of the camera after a long gap.The film is produced by Dawn Pictures, adding to the fresh energy and debut-driven vision behind the project.The first single already sparked chatter for being soft, warm and refreshingly un-processed — a break from high-octane soundscapes. Romantic dramas have evolved, but when sincerity meets craft, the genre still connects deeply. Idhayam Murali seems to understand its space — not trying to chase trends, not trying to be edgy — just letting a heartfelt story unfold at its own pace.The Valentine’s week release only strengthens the film’s positioning. At a time when theatres balance massive action spectacles and thrillers, a gentle, emotional love story could be the palette cleanser audiences didn't realize they needed. There’s a quiet charm around Idhayam Murali. It’s not loud in its promotions, it isn’t pushing hype — instead, it carries that old-school romantic sincerity, backed by strong music and nostalgic flavour. If it lands the emotional notes with honesty, Atharvaa might just have a Valentine-season favourite on his hands.Sometimes, love stories don’t need grand declarations. They just need heart. And Idhayam Murali seems ready to offer exactly that.

They Call Him OG Opens to Massive Collections: Pawan Kalyan vs Emraan Hashmi Sets Pan-India Buzz

They Call Him OG, the highly anticipated gangster action film, stormed into theatres worldwide on 25 September 2025 and has already made waves with record-breaking collections. Directed by Sujeeth and produced by DVV Danayya under DVV Entertainment, the film stars Pawan Kalyan in the lead role of Ojas Gambheera “OG,” a fearsome gangster who resurfaces in 1993 Mumbai after a decade-long disappearance to settle old scores. The movie has a stellar cast, including Priyanka Mohan as Dr Kanmani, Prakash Raj, Arjun Das, Sriya Reddy, Shaam, Harish Uthaman, Rahul Ravindran, and Jackie Shroff in a cameo. With Thaman S handling the music and Ravi K. Chandran alongside Manoj Paramahamsa behind the camera, OG is mounted on a grand scale, running for about 154 minutes and certified A by the CBFC for its high-octane violence. ##One of the film’s biggest talking points is the Telugu cinema debut of Bollywood star Emraan Hashmi. Known for his intense performances in Hindi films, Hashmi steps into uncharted territory with OG, playing the antagonist Omi Bhau. His role is positioned as the perfect counterweight to Pawan Kalyan’s OG, setting up a high-voltage hero-versus-villain dynamic that has already become the centrepiece of fan discussions. Industry analysts note that Hashmi's entry into Telugu films is significant not just because of his star value in Bollywood, but also because it signals the increasing pan-Indian appeal of Telugu cinema. By pitting him against a massive star like Pawan Kalyan, the makers have ensured nationwide interest in the film, with Hindi belt audiences equally curious about the clash. His portrayal of Omi Bhau has been described in media reports as menacing, stylish, and crucial in raising the stakes of the narrative. This crossover has also been highlighted in promotional campaigns, further boosting the film’s reach across North and South India. ##The box office response has validated the hype. Early trade reports suggest that the film collected around 100 crores gross in India and 150 crores worldwide. Advance bookings were extraordinary, with nearly 98 crore gross worldwide for the opening day. Overseas, particularly in North America, the film set new benchmarks by becoming the highest-grossing Telugu film of 2025 from its premiere shows alone and securing the 4th biggest Telugu premiere day ever in the US market, ahead of recent blockbusters like Devara: Part 1 and Salaar: Part 1. ##The combination of Pawan Kalyan’s stardom and Emraan Hashmi’s fresh presence has been a huge driver of buzz. For Telugu audiences, the excitement of seeing a Bollywood actor in such a powerful antagonist’s role adds novelty, while Hindi-speaking viewers are keen to see Hashmi in a new cinematic landscape. The film’s producers have reportedly spent lavishly to stage confrontations between the two stars, ensuring that their rivalry becomes the selling point of OG. Industry observers also see this as part of a larger trend of Telugu filmmakers roping in popular Bollywood actors to appeal to a pan-Indian audience, much like how Prithviraj Sukumaran in Salaar and Sanjay Dutt in KGF 2 boosted those films’ reach. ##With a confirmed sequel (They Call Him OG 2) already in the works and references in the film hinting at a shared universe with Sujeeth’s earlier film Saaho, the future of the franchise looks bright. For Emraan Hashmi, this debut not only widens his fan base into the South but also opens doors for more pan-Indian projects. For Pawan Kalyan, it reinforces his box office dominance, showing that even amid his political commitments, his star power continues to draw record crowds. ##In short, They Call Him OG is not just a big win for Pawan Kalyan’s career but also a landmark moment for Emraan Hashmi, whose Telugu debut has added a new dimension to his career and brought a fresh spark to Telugu cinema. With box office numbers climbing rapidly, the film is expected to be one of the year’s biggest successes, and the Pawan-Emraan face-off is likely to be remembered as one of the most talked-about on-screen rivalries in recent Telugu film history.

They Call Him OG:Pawan Kalyan vs Emraan Hashmi in a ₹250 Crore Showdown

OG, the much-awaited gangster action thriller, stars Telugu cinema icon Pawan Kalyan in the lead role as Ojas Gambheera, or simply "OG"—a feared underworld don returning from exile. The film marks the Telugu debut of Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi, who plays the menacing antagonist Omi Bhau, setting up a high-stakes confrontation between two powerful characters. Directed by Sujeeth, best known for Saaho, OG promises a stylized, high-octane narrative set in the gritty underworld of Mumbai. The supporting cast includes Priyanka Arul Mohan, Arjun Das, Prakash Raj, Sriya Reddy, and a special appearance by Neha Shetty. Backed by DVV Danayya’s DVV Entertainment (of RRR fame), the film features cinematography by Ravi K. Chandran and Manoj Paramahamsa, with a pulsating score by Thaman S. ##The film has generated massive buzz, both domestically and overseas. Its teaser, titled “Hungry Cheetah,” was released on Pawan Kalyan’s 54th birthday (September 2) and immediately went viral for its slick visuals and intense tone. Fan enthusiasm reached a fever pitch when a single ticket for the Nizam region was sold in an auction for a staggering ₹5 lakh, showcasing the unmatched devotion of Pawan Kalyan’s fan base. In the U.S., the movie has already broken pre-release records, earning over $82,000 from just 46 premiere shows—weeks before its theatrical release. The production budget has ballooned to an estimated ₹240–₹250 crore, making it the most expensive film of Pawan Kalyan’s career. Delays due to his political commitments (as Deputy CM of Andhra Pradesh) only amplified the hype, with fans tracking every schedule update and teaser drop. ##Despite these delays, OG is now set for a pan-India theatrical release on September 25, 2025, in multiple languages including Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada. The movie has already clocked over ₹150 crore in pre-business in Telugu-speaking states alone, putting it in the league of other mega-films like RRR and Pushpa 2. Adding to its commercial promise, Netflix has acquired the OTT rights for a record ₹92 crore, with streaming expected roughly four weeks post theatrical release. With its stylish direction, intense character arcs, and massive production scale, OG is poised to be a landmark entry in the gangster-action genre—and one of the biggest Telugu releases of 2025.
