Pawan Kalyan's 'Pink' remake has no women on first-look poster

Chennai, March 3 (IANS) The first-look poster of Pawan Kalyan's much-awaited film 'Vakeel Saab' was released yesterday. While fans, including the superstar's actor nephews Ram Charan and Sai Dharam Tej, have heaped praises, film lovers seemed to think otherwise.





For the uninformed, "Vakeel Saab" is the official remake of the Hindi film "Pink", which is basically about how three young women are implicated in a crime, following which an elderly lawyer with bipolar disorder (played by Amitabh Bachchan) gets them acquitted.





Given that the central characters of the story are women and the plot speaks about women's consent, many on social media cannot get over the fact that the first-look poster has totally done away with the female characters and solely features Telugu superstar Pawan Kalyan.





The poster features Pawan Kalyan seated in a relaxed posture, holding a book in hand and wearing sunglasses.





Film lovers were quick to call out the Tollywood film industry for the misrepresentation, and some cinephiles even wondered if the film is set in a 'resort'.





Directed by Sriram Venu of "Ninnu Kori" fame, the film is produced by Boney Kapoor and Dil Raju. Last year Boney Kapoor produced "Nerkonda Paarvai", the Tamil version of "Pink", which starred Ajith Kumar.





"Vakeel Saab" will mark Pawan Kalyan's return into films after he decided to start a political career as chief of the Jana Sena Party.

Pawan Kalyan"ā„¢s Biggest Blockbuster They Call Him OG Gets Its OTT Premiere Date

Hyderabad, October 14 - Powerstar Pawan Kalyan"ā„¢s gangster action thriller They Call Him OG is all set for its digital premiere. Directed by Sujeeth, the high-octane entertainer is nearing the end of its theatrical run after emerging as the biggest grosser of Pawan Kalyan's career at the worldwide box office. Produced by DVV Entertainment, They Call Him OG has grossed approximately 290 crore globally so far, and will miss the 300 crore milestone. Despite that, the film has turned out to be a strong box office success, marking Pawan Kalyan's first 200-crore film and his most successful outing in years. According to the latest reports, the movie will begin streaming on Netflix from October 23 in all languages. Having been released in theatres on September 25, the film follows the standard 28-day theatrical window before heading to digital platforms. The South Indian films continue to stick with a 4-week theatrical window despite the criticism from the trade and media, as they believe the short window is not sufficient, as it cuts short the full box office potential of a movie.

Teja Sajja's Box Office Superhit Mirai OTT Release Date Revealed

Hyderabad, October 4 - The rising Telugu actor Teja Sajja continued his winning streak at the box office with the sci-fi action-adventure film Mirai, after the big blockbuster success of Hanuman last year. The movie is now gearing up for its much-awaited digital release. As per the latest update, Mirai will start streaming on JioHotstar from October 10, 2025, in Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and Tamil languages. However, Hindi audiences will have to wait a little longer, as the dubbed version is slated to premiere only after completing eight weeks of its theatrical run. Mirai will have the extended theatrical window. Normally, South Indian films start streaming after 4 weeks of the theatrical release, but here, Mirai will have an extra week to perform at the box office, as the OTT window for this movie is 5 weeks, which is a good change. The big-screen release of Mirai created solid buzz across India and overseas, turning into one of the Telugu cinema's biggest grossers of the year. So far, the film has amassed an impressive 142 crore worldwide gross, with 109 crore coming from the Indian box office alone. The OTT release will give fans another chance to revisit the visual extravaganza and also open the film to new audiences who missed it in theatres. With its blend of sci-fi themes, high-octane action, and stunning visuals, Mirai is expected to perform strongly in the digital space too, just as it did at the box office. Stay tuned...

Top 10 Biggest South Indian Opening Day Grossers At The Hindi Box Office: Pushpa 2 Rules As Kantara Chapter 1 Takes 8th Spot

Mumbai, October 3 - South Indian cinema continues to make a mark at the Hindi box office, and the latest to enter the race is Rishab Shetty's Kantara Chapter 1, which has taken a good start in the dubbed version, scoring 18.50 crore opening day. Among the top 10 biggest South Indian openers at the Hindi box office, Kantara 2 has secured the 8th spot. At the very top of the list is Allu Arjun's Pan India phenomenon, Pushpa 2: The Rule, which rewrote box office history with a mammoth 70 crore opening day in Hindi, which is a record. This number is far ahead of every other South release and firmly establishes Pushpa 2 as a true pan-India monster. Kannada superstar Yash's KGF Chapter 2 follows next with 54 crore net opening, a record that held strong until Pushpa 2 arrived. SS Rajamouli's epic blockbuster Baahubali 2: The Conclusion sits at number 3 with 41 crores net. It is worth noting that it was the Baahubali franchise, which originally opened the floodgates for South dominance in Hindi belts. Prabhas, easily the biggest South Indian star in the Hindi market, makes multiple entries in the top 10, with Saaho making it to the top 5, followed by his Kalki 2898 AD. Rajamouli's RRR, along with superstar Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar's sci-fi extravaganza 2.0, also entered the list with solid openings. Breaking into this power-packed list at No. 8, Kantara Chapter 1, which is the second Kannada movie in this coveted list. Unlike mass-heavy commercial entertainers like KGF or Pushpa, Kantara thrives on its unique storytelling, cultural rootedness, and mysticism, yet still managed to draw audiences in large numbers on day one. Prabhas' Salaar Part 1 - Ceasefire, followed by Ram Charan's Game Changer, and Jr. NTR's Devara Part 1, take the remaining spots in the list. The last two are the only films with less than 10 crores net openings in the list in the Hindi version.

Ravi Teja's Mass Jathara Sets Up Clash With Prabhas' Baahubali - The Epic

Hyderabad, October 3 - Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja's Mass Jathara has confirmed its release date. Directed by Bhanu Bhogavarapu, the much-awaited action drama will be hitting the worldwide theatres on October 31st, after facing multiple delays. The makers officially announced the new release date on October 1st with a new poster and fun promo. Mass Jathara, however, won't be a solo release as it will be up against SS Rajamouli's Baahubali - The Epic, which is a single-part film of the director's duology. Starring Prabhas in the lead role, Baahubali - The Epic could be a big challenge for Mass Jathara, despite everyone knowing what the story is about. It is said that there will be new footage in the nearly 4-hour cut of Baahubali 3, and that might attract viewers, as the first two parts were massive box office blockbusters. Mass Jathara, meanwhile, is carrying good buzz among the fans. Produced by Fortune Four Cinemas, Sithara Entertainments, and Srikara Studios, the film also stars Sreeleela as the female lead, reuniting with Ravi Teja after Dhamaka, alongside Nitish Nirmal, Krishna Kumar, and Pandu Chirumamilla.

Pawan Kalyan's They Call Him OG Overtakes Sankranthiki Vasthunam To Emerge As 2025's Top Telugu Grosser

Hyderabad, October 1 - Power star Pawan Kalyan's gangster action drama They Call Him OG continues its decent run at the worldwide box office after the good opening weekend. Having already become the biggest and first 200 crores gross of the Telugu superstar, Sujeeth's directorial has now shattered a record for Telugu cinema this year. On its first Wednesday (7th day), They Call Him OG officially surpassed the collections of Venkatesh Daggubati's Sankranthiki Vasthunam (255.20 crores), making it the highest-grossing Telugu film of the year at the worldwide box office. The achievement further strengthens Pawan Kalyan's dominance at the box office with this film, which has easily been his most hyped in recent times. They Call Him OG opened to record-breaking numbers and sustained decently since that, drawing audiences across both domestic and overseas markets. The film's strong storyline, coupled with Pawan Kalyan"ā„¢s charismatic performance and Sujeeth"ā„¢s stylish direction, has helped it maintain momentum on a decent level. This consistency has now placed it at the very top of the Telugu box office for 2025, a spot previously held by the Sankranthi blockbuster Sankranthiki Vasthunam. They Call Him OG has not only redefined expectations for Telugu cinema this year but also added another feather to Pawan Kalyan"ā„¢s illustrious career. It is quite stunning that despite carrying massive star power, Pawan Kalyan had never touched the 200 crores mark before. They Call Him OG has not only breached that milestone, but is also likely to end the year as the biggest Telugu grosser of the year, unless new films surprise. Stay tuned...
