Within hours of release, the episode began trending worldwide and swiftly climbed to the highest rating across major platforms, surpassing iconic chapters from earlier seasons.

In particular, the episode's final act — hailed by viewers as one of the "wildest cliffhangers in the show" — has sparked intense conversation across social media. A major talking point has been the bold shift in character dynamics, especially Will Byers' (Noah Schnapp's) dramatic transformation, which critics say marks one of the most significant arcs in the series. The episode balances horror, heart, and mythology with remarkable precision, reminding fans why Stranger Things remains one of the most beloved shows of the decade.

The film also stars Tripti Dimri, Vivek Oberoi, Prakash Raj, and Kanchna in key roles. Spirit was launched recently with a traditional pooja ceremony.

Tere Ishk Mein Box Office: Emerges As Dhanush's Biggest Opener Domestically

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Mumbai, November 29 - Dhanush has proved his Pan India worth with director Anand L. Rai's romantic drama Tere Ishk Mein, co-starring Kriti Sanon. Released amid solid anticipation, the film has emerged as the biggest opening of Dhanush's career, surpassing his previous blockbuster. Tere Ishk Mein registered a 19 crore gross (16 crore net) opening in India. Interestingly, it is Dhanush's only third theatrical Hindi film, including his debut title Raanjhanaa (2013), which was also directed by Rai. The film benefited from strong bookings, solid word of mouth, and a powerful nationwide release strategy. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) With this, Tere Ishk Mein has beaten the opening-day performances of Dhanush's recent big films. The actor's social drama Kuberaa had earlier held the top spot with a 17.25 crore gross opening earlier this year, followed by the gangster thriller Raayan, which scored 15.75 crore gross on Day 1. Dhanush's Pan India appeal also gets proved with the fact that his top 2 openers are non-Tamil films, in Hindi and Telugu, which are not his first languages. The strong debut of Tere Ishk Mein confirms the rising nationwide pull of Dhanush, who continues to expand his box-office presence beyond regional boundaries. Tere Ishk Mein has particularly benefited from its music, pre-release buzz, the fresh pairing with Kriti Sanon, and the successful combo of Dhanush and Rai, drawing significant footfall in both multiplexes and mass circuits. With an excellent start and steady audience reception, the film is now positioned for a robust weekend. Stay tuned...

Dies Irae OTT Release: Pranav Mohanlal's Horror Blockbuster Premieres on JioHotstar this December 5

BY SACNILK TEAM

The wait is finally over for horror aficionados and Malayalam cinema lovers. After a chilling and successful theatrical run that began on Halloween, the Pranav Mohanlal starrer Dies Irae is all set to haunt screens comfortably at home. The film will start streaming on JioHotstar from December 5, 2025. Directed by the modern master of Malayalam horror Rahul Sadasivan, the film has been praised for its atmospheric dread and technical brilliance marking a significant genre shift for its lead star. The Day of Wrath is here.Diés Iraé will be streaming from December 5 only on JioHotstar.@impranavlal @rahul_madking @StudiosYNot @chakdyn @sash041075 @allnightshifts @studiosynot #DiésIraé #DiésIraéOnHotstar #PranavMohanlal #Horror #Thriller #Suspense #JioHotstar… pic.twitter.com/AYBPyGwfsL— JioHotstar Malayalam (@JioHotstarMal) November 28, 2025 The film emerged as a major commercial success defying the usual limitations of the horror genre. The final theatrical figures are a testament to its wide acceptance across the globe. The movie registered an India Net Collection of ₹ 41.21 Cr and an India Gross Collection of ₹ 48.6 Cr. The film performed exceptionally well internationally with an Overseas Collection of ₹ 33.4 Cr taking the total Worldwide Collection to a massive ₹ 82 Cr. These numbers have solidified its status as a blockbuster particularly profitable given the controlled budget typical of the genre. Dies Irae marks the first collaboration between director Rahul Sadasivan and Pranav Mohanlal creating a fresh and exciting dynamic for the industry. Rahul Sadasivan has effectively created a horror trilogy of sorts following his critically acclaimed Bhoothakaalam and the black-and-white period horror Bramayugam. For Pranav Mohanlal this role is a massive departure from his boy-next-door or romantic hero image established in his previous hits like Hridayam and the nostalgic Varshangalkku Shesham. In this film audiences see a stripped-down intense and vulnerable side of Pranav shedding his feel-good persona to embody fear and paranoia. The film has performed exceptionally well when compared to other recent films in the mystery and horror genre in the Malayalam industry. Here is how it compares to its peers: Dies Irae (2025): Genre: Horror Thriller ||Budget:₹ 24 Cr | Worldwide Collection: ₹ 82 Cr | Verdict: Blockbuster Bramayugam (2024): Genre: Period Horror |Budget:₹ 27.73 Cr |Worldwide Collection: Approx ₹ 58.2 Cr | Verdict: Hit Kishkindha Kaandam (2024): Genre: Mystery Thriller | |Budget: ₹ 7 Cr |Worldwide Collection: Approx ₹ 76.9 Cr | Verdict: All-Time Blockbuster.

Kochi, November 28 - Dulquer Salmaan returns to the Malayalam cinema with the upcoming gangster action drama I'm Game. The actor's last Mollywood title was King of Kotha (2023), and since then, he has been busy with Telugu and Tamil films, though he played a cameo in Malayalam's highest-grossing film Lokha Chapter 1, which he also produced under his banner Wayfarer Films.

Dragon: Jr NTR & Prashanth Neel's actioner gets bigger; Anil Kapoor joins as the villain & release pushed to late 2026?

BY CHRISTA LINCY

The collaboration between Man of Masses Jr NTR and the creator of KGF and Salaar, Prashanth Neel, is arguably one of the most hyped projects in Indian cinema. Tentatively titled Dragon, the film is scaling up in massive ways. Latest reports suggest a major Bollywood addition to the cast and a shift in release plans to ensure a spectacle of international standards. In what could be a massive casting coup, Bollywood veteran Anil Kapoor has reportedly been roped in to play the main antagonist. According to the latest buzz, the Animal star will lock horns with Jr NTR in this high-octane action drama. Reports indicate that Kapoor is expected to join the sets during the upcoming December schedule. If confirmed, this follows the recent trend of casting powerful Bollywood actors as villains in South biggies (like Saif Ali Khan in Devara and Sanjay Dutt in KGF 2), turning Dragon into a true Pan-India event. On the casting front, the makers have reportedly finalized Rukmini Vasanth as the female lead. The actress, who gained nationwide fame with her soulful performance in Sapta Sagaradaache Ello, is set to share screen space with Tarak. This fresh pairing has already generated immense curiosity among fans. The casting excitement doesn't stop at Bollywood. Adding even more weight to the film’s Pan-India scale, reports suggest that Malayalam heartthrob Tovino Thomas has been roped in for a pivotal role.This marks the actor's highly anticipated direct Telugu debut, expanding the film's reach deep into the southern markets. Known for his versatility in hits like Minnal Murali and 2018, Tovino’s inclusion alongside Jr NTR, Anil Kapoor, and Rukmini Vasanth confirms that Prashanth Neel is building a massive crossover universe. While the excitement is high, fans might have to wait a little longer. The film was initially eyeing a release in the first half of 2026 (tentatively June). However, due to shoot delays and the sheer scale of production, reports suggest the film will miss its June 2026 release window. The team is now looking at a new release date, likely in the latter half of 2026, to ensure the VFX and action sequences meet Prashanth Neel’s grand vision. Adding to the hype is Jr NTR’s physical transformation. After the bulky, rugged look in RRR and Devara, Tarak is reportedly sporting a lean, chiseled new look for Dragon. This transformation is said to be essential for the character, who is rumored to be part of a distinct, action-heavy world—unlike the coal mines of KGF or the city of Khansaar. With speculation rife regarding the title, the villain, and the release date, the production house (Mythri Movie Makers) is reportedly planning a series of official announcements to clear the air before the year ends.

Ranbir Kapoor & Deepika Padukone to reunite? Ayan Mukerji planning a rom-com based on Raj Kapoor-Nargis classic Chori Chori

BY CHRISTA LINCY

The magic of Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani might be returning to the big screen! In what could be the biggest casting coup of the decade, reports suggest that director Ayan Mukerji is keen to reunite the iconic pair of Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone for his next directorial venture. After diving deep into the world of VFX-heavy spectacles like Brahmāstra and War 2, the filmmaker is reportedly looking to switch gears with a classic romantic comedy. According to a report by Mid-day, Ayan Mukerji is developing a script that draws inspiration from the 1956 cult classic Chori Chori, which starred the legendary Raj Kapoor and Nargis. The original film, which itself was inspired by the Hollywood classic It Happened One Night, revolved around a runaway heiress and a freelance reporter who fall in love during a bus journey. The report states that Ayan wants to create a modern-day adaptation of this timeless story, and he believes only Ranbir and Deepika can pull off the chemistry required for such a narrative. For nearly a decade, Ayan Mukerji has been immersed in creating massive, VFX-heavy spectacles. After dedicating eight years to building the Astraverse for Brahmāstra and recently delivering the colossal YRF Spy Universe blockbuster War 2 (starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR) earlier this year, the filmmaker is reportedly looking for a change of pace. Per the report, Ayan desires a palette cleanser following the grueling schedule of the spy thriller. He is eager to return to the genre that originally launched his career—lighthearted, character-driven romance reminiscent of Wake Up Sid and Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. If the project materializes, it will mark the fourth collaboration between Ranbir and Deepika, following Bachna Ae Haseeno, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, and Tamasha. Their on-screen chemistry is regarded as one of the best in Bollywood history, and a reunion directed by Ayan Mukerji—who gave them their biggest hit together—is bound to set the box office on fire. While Ranbir Kapoor is currently occupied with Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War (which also stars Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal), and Deepika is juggling her global commitments, fans are hoping this Mid-day report turns into an official announcement soon.

Tere Ishk Mein Box Office Prediction/Preview: Dhanush, Kriti Sanon-starrer Set For Strong Start

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Mumbai, November 27 - Bollywood is gearing up for a strong finish to the year, and the momentum begins with Dhanush and Kriti Sanon's much-awaited romantic drama Tere Ishk Mein. The film has been steadily building buzz over the past few weeks, and the trade is now predicting a solid opening driven by strong audience interest, a popular lead pair, and consistently positive pre-release chatter. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film is witnessing impressive advance bookings, which are among the best for a Bollywood title this year. A major contributor to this surge is its well-received trailer and chart-topping music album, which has gone viral across social media platforms. The film's emotional tone and treatment also evoke similarities to Dhanush and Aanand L. Rai's iconic Raanjhanaa (2013), further boosting nostalgia-driven curiosity among viewers. The solid pre-sales also reflect the audience's renewed love for romantic dramas in 2025, a trend established by earlier hits like blockbuster Saiyaara and the superhit Deewaniyat. In both cases, music played a crucial role, which is also the case with Tere Ishk Mein, whose songs are already pulling strong footfalls. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) A few weeks ago, Tere Ishk Mein was expected to debut in the modest 6–7 crore net range, but it is now heading for a sure-shot double-digit start. As said, the advances are solid with around 3.10 crores gross as of 4 PM on November 27. The final pre-sales are expected to be between 4.50-5 crores gross, which indicates the opening in the range of 12-15 crores net. With such a strong foundation, Tere Ishk Mein is well-positioned to gain momentum over the weekend. And if audience reception is equally good, the Dhanush–Kriti starrer may emerge as a significant winner at the box office. Overall, the industry is set to have a big Friday after the few underwhelming ones this year, and will hope the momentum continues with the upcoming films as well. Stay tuned...

Tere Ishk Mein vs Raanjhanaa Box Office: Dhanush Poised To Double His Bollywood Debut Opening

BY SACNILK TEAM

Mumbai, November 26 - Dhanush is returning to Bollywood with director Anand L Rai's Tere Ishk Mein, and the film is carrying strong momentum. With solid buzz, impressive music, and rising anticipation across markets, the romantic drama, also starring Kriti Sanon, is shaping up to be one of the most promising Hindi releases of the season. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Back in 2012, Dhanush made his Bollywood debut with Rai's Raanjhanaa, a film that gradually turned into a cult favourite among audiences.
