Superstar Yash Completes 14 Years In Kannada Cinema; Fans Celebrate The Milestone

Bengaluru, July 20 - Kannada superstar Yash, who has taken a giant step in becoming the next Pan India sensation, has completed 14 years in Kannada cinema. His journey so far has been nothing short of a roller coaster ride which is finally paying off.





Yash made his debut in 2007 with "Jambada Hudugi" and also won the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor for his second film "Mogina Manasu". Since his debut, Yash has headlined 18 films, including the biggest of them "KGF: Chapter 2" recently released and made him a talk of the town.





Earlier, it was "Rocky" (2008), which turned out to be the first major film that gave Yash much-deserved fame, and he never looked back since then. With "Rocky", he was slowly becoming a huge name in Kannada cinema, and later, his 2014 release "Mr. And Mrs. Ramachari" became one of the highest-grossing Kannada releases and earned Yash his first Filmfare Award for Best Actor.





Over the years, Yash had dreamed of taking Kannada cinema to the global front and giving its own identity rather than remaining the subsidiary of South cinema. This moment came when the first "KGF" was released in 2018, which broke all the records at the box office and spread the allure of Rocky Bhai with his super fandom.





And then came "KGF Chapter 2", which emerged as one of the most popular Indian films of 2022 with an 8.5 rating on IMDb. The film collected Rs 430 crore in the Hindi version alone and after "Baahubali: The Conclusion", it is the most successful Hindi film of all time. Overall, the movie grossed over 1200 crores worldwide, becoming the third highest-grossing Indian film of all time.





Yash couldn't have asked for a better way of celebrating his 14 years in cinema than by delivering one of the biggest blockbusters in Indian cinema. His fans, who have stood rock solid behind the superstar throughout his journey, are celebrating the same with a video that explained Yash's journey in the cinema industry.





Have a look at some of the tweets regarding the celebrations of 14 years of Yash in cinema -

Year Ender 2025: The Genre Gamble From High Octane Action to Cultural Roots, Analyzing the Year's Ultimate Winners

The numbers are in, and 2025 has officially rewritten the rules of Indian Cinema. For the first nine months, the verdict was clear: the audience had brutally rejected expensive mediocrity and embraced films with a soul. The Roots & Period genre was the undisputed king"”until the year-end arrived. Just when the trade had written off the Spy/Action template, Dhurandhar exploded onto the scene, proving that the Genre Gamble isn't about the category, but the conviction. The 2025 report card shows a fascinating battle. On one side, Roots & Period Cinema generated nearly ₹2000 Crores combined. On the other, the Action Genre saw the most violent fluctuations"”from the disastrous crashes of the Spy Universe to the historic, record-shattering run of Dhurandhar. THE SPY-ACTION For most of 2025, the Action genre was in a state of mourning as the catastrophic crash of the Spy/Cop template"”symbolized by the failure of War 2 "”served as a brutal wake-up call to the industry. While War 2 managed a global gross of ₹364 Crore, it ultimately stood as a commercial underperformer against its massive ₹400 Cr+ budget, further confirmed that the standard template was rapidly losing steam. However, the arrival of Dhurandhar single-handedly salvaged the genre's reputation; as of Day 21, bolstered by a strong third Thursday early estimate of ₹26.00 Cr, the film has reached an All-Time Blockbuster status with a towering India Net of ₹633.5 Cr and a Worldwide Gross of ₹985 Cr. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) By decimating the records of global hits like Coolie (₹518 Crore worldwide) and outshining underperformers such as Sikandar (₹184 Cr) and Sky Force (₹150 Cr), Dhurandhar"”with its massive (₹215 Cr) overseas haul"”has proved that Action remains the undisputed highest-grossing genre when a high-stakes narrative is backed by a genuine emotional pulse. THE ROOTS & PERIOD CINEMA: While Dhurandhar took the individual #1 spot, the Roots & Period genre was the most consistent winner of the year. Kantara: Chapter 1 ruled the global charts for months with a staggering ₹852 Crore, proving that folklore is a global currency. In the Hindi belt, the real movement was Chhaava. Vicky Kaushal's historical epic roared with ₹586 Crore Net in Hindi (₹601.54 Cr All Lang). It sustained a majestic 6-week run, proving that cultural pride is the new gold standard. Regional hits like Mirai (₹144 Cr) and Kesari Chapter 2 (₹145 Cr) further cemented this genre as the safest bet for investors in 2025. THE ROMANCE RESURRECTION: In the most shocking turnaround of the decade, the Romantic Drama genre delivered 2025's biggest surprise: Saiyaara. Shattering all theatrically dead labels, the film amassed a global gross of ₹570 Crore (₹330 Cr Hindi Net). It single-handedly outperformed action juggernauts like War 2 and Sikandar, proving that when music and chemistry click, a traditional romance can still deliver Animal-level numbers. While mid-range films like De De Pyaar De 2 (₹111 Cr) were average, Saiyaara remains the Dark Horse of the year. FRANCHISE COMEDY & HORROR-COMEDY: THE PROFIT PLAY While they didn't hit the 500-crore mark, Comedy was the most profitable genre due to controlled budgets. Housefull 5: ₹289 Crore (Solid Resilience) Sitaare Zameen Par: ₹268 Crore (Emotional Dramedy Hit) Thama: ₹188 Crore (Horror-Comedy Success) Jolly LLB 3: ₹172 Cr (High ROI) Lokah: Chapter 1: ₹304 Crore (Massive South Blockbuster; ₹4 Cr Hindi) 2025 was the year the Genre Gamble was won by Conviction. Whether it was the Maratha valor of Chhaava, the divine folklore of Kantara, the soulful melody of Saiyaara, or the relentless pace of Dhurandhar, the winners were films that stayed true to their promise.

Dhurandhar is marching towards the coveted 1000-crore milestone at the worldwide box office and shows no signs of slowing down. The film is expected to breach the landmark by its fourth Friday, making it the first Indian film of 2025 and the ninth of all time to enter the elite club.

2025 Box Office Verdict:Dhurandhar's Double Crown: Beating Chhaava at Home and Coolie Overseas

As we approach the end of 2025, the Box Office has delivered a verdict unlike any year in the last decade. The era where a single Pan India blockbuster would blindly rule every territory is over. Instead, 2025 was the year of the Split Verdict.The data shows a fascinating disconnect between what the domestic audience wanted versus what the global audience paid for. With massive event films like War 2 and Sikandar stumbling and failing to unite these two worlds, the throne was left open for most of the year. However, as the year closes, Dhurandhar has emerged as the ultimate outlier, bridging this massive gap. By its 21st day (with early estimates of ₹26 Cr), it has officially done the impossible: it has surpassed Kantara: Chapter 1 to become the #1 film in India (Netting ₹633.5 Cr) and decimated Coolie's record to become the #1 film Overseas (Grossing $25.4 Million / ₹215 Cr). While 2025 was a year of One India, Two Realities, Dhurandhar stands as the only film to conquer both. Here is the definitive Territory Breakdown of 2025: The Fortress of the Bollywood vs. The Global Giants, and the one film that finally united them. THE NEW DOMESTIC EMPEROR (STILL RUNNING): Dhurandhar India Nett: ₹ 633.5 Cr [As of Day 21] | India Gross: ₹ 729 Cr | Footfalls: 2.6 Crore+ | Verdict: All-Time Blockbuster* While the year was defined by a divide, Dhurandhar arrived to shatter every record in the book. As of its 3rd Thursday (Day 21) with early estimates of ₹ 26.00 Cr, it has officially surpassed both Kantara: Chapter 1 and Chhaava to become the Highest Grossing Film of 2025 in India. Still running strong in theaters, it is the only film this year to cross the ₹630 Cr mark, proving that when a film strikes the right emotional chord, the sky is the limit. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) THE PAN-INDIA JUGGERNAUT: Kantara: Chapter 1 India Nett: ₹ 622.04 Cr (All Lang) | Footfalls: 3.41 Crore | Verdict: All-Time Blockbuster While Chhaava ruled the Hindi originals, Kantara was the force that united the nation for the majority of the year. It penetrated the traditional Bollywood markets with a ferocity rarely seen, grossing numbers that rivaled the biggest local stars. By diving deep into folklore and divinity, it proved that a story rooted in Indian soil transcends all language barriers. As per the Day-Wise Breakdown , it registered 3.41 Crore (34.1 Million) footfalls, and Worldwide Gross of ₹851 Cr. Until the arrival of Dhurandhar, it stood as the highest-grossing film of the year in India. THE DOMESTIC KING: Chhaava India Nett: ₹601.54 Cr | Footfalls: 3.05 Crore | Verdict: All-Time Blockbuster Vicky Kaushal's portrayal of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj didn't just entertain; it became a movement. While other biggies struggled to cross the ₹200 Cr mark, Chhaava pulled off the impossible"”bringing the elderly, the youth, and families back to the cinemas together. It stands tall as a film that sustained a majestic 6-week run in the Bollywood belt, proving that for the Hindi industry, cultural pride is the new gold standard. It remains one of the few Bollywood films to cross the ₹600 Cr mark. (See the weekly trending chart Here ) (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) THE VOLUME SURVIVOR: War 2 India Nett: ₹ 236.55 Cr | Footfalls: 1.17 Crore | Verdict: Underperformer Numbers don't lie. While the film struggled to recover its massive budget (making it a trade underperformer), it still undeniably ruled the North in terms of visibility. The film registered a massive Opening Weekend of ₹123.75 Cr (Net); it generated high ticket sales initially. It proves that even when a movie doesn't work creatively, the sheer Star Power of Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR is enough to drag the audience to the theaters. FILMS THAT WON THE OVERSEAS The box office divide of 2025 reveals a fascinating psychological shift. While the domestic audience in the Bollywood belt gravitated toward grounded storytelling, the international diaspora sought The Cinema of Spectacle. They embraced films that spoke a universal visual language"”one of style, charisma, and scale. THE GLOBAL TITAN: Dhurandhar Overseas Gross: ₹ 215 Cr|Top Market: North America,UK,Australia | Verdict:All time Blockbuster Dhurandhar has surpassed every other 2025 release in the international circuit. While other films succeeded in specific pockets, Dhurandhar saw a massive, uniform surge across North America, and the UK, proving that when Content meets Swagger, the results are record-breaking. THE OVERSEAS CHAMPION: Coolie Overseas Gross: ₹ 180.5 Cr | Top Market: North America | Verdict:Average Rajinikanth remains the undisputed Emperor of the overseas market. The combination of stylish direction and Thalaiva"™s swag meant that Coolie decimated records in the USA, Malaysia, and Singapore. For much of the year, it earned more dollars abroad than any Bollywood movie, proving that outside India, Star Power remains a massive draw. THE DARK HORSE: Saiyaara Overseas Gross: ₹171.5 Cr | Top Market: UK/Canada | Verdict: Super Hit The surprise of the year. While action movies fatigued the NRI audience, this romantic drama from Bollywood became the date-night movie of 2025. It stands as a top-performing Bollywood film in the overseas market, outperforming even War 2 in the UK and Canada. THE GULF GIANT: L2: Empuraan Overseas Gross: ₹142.25 Cr | Top Market: GCC/UAE | Verdict: Blockbuster Mohanlal's Lucifer sequel didn't just perform well; it ruled the Middle East. In the GCC region specifically, L2 sold more tickets than many massive Hindi releases, showcasing the massive power of South Indian cinema in the Gulf.

Pan-India Power Report 2025: Kantara Ch 1 Mints 223 Cr in Hindi; A Reality Check for Southern Dubs in 2025

2025 has been the year of the Pan India Reality Check. The Hindi audience has become ruthless embracing authentic rooted stories like Kantara with open arms while coldly rejecting generic mass actioners, even those starring heavyweights like Pawan Kalyan and Kamal Haasan. While Rishab Shetty emerged as the undisputed king of the Hindi box office this year, other highly anticipated projects like Lokesh Kanagaraj's Coolie and Suriya's Retro posted numbers that fell short of their astronomical pre release hype.From folklore to gangster dramas, here is the ultimate report card of how South Indian films performed in the Hindi belt this year. Movie Industry Hindi Net Collection Kantara: Chapter 1 Sandalwood ₹223.79 Cr Coolie Kollywood ₹37.23 Cr Game Changer Tollywood ₹32.93 Cr Mirai Tollywood ₹16.86 Cr Baahubali: The Epic Animation ₹6.94 Cr HIT: The Third Case Tollywood ₹4.11 Cr Kannappa Tollywood ₹3.98 Cr Lokah: Chapter 1 Mollywood ₹3.78 Cr They Call Him OG Tollywood ₹3.36 Cr L2: Empuraan Mollywood ₹2.59 Cr Thug Life Kollywood ₹1.70 Cr The Girlfriend Tollywood ₹ 0.60 Cr Madharasi Kollywood ₹0.50 Cr Retro Kollywood ₹ 0.49 Cr Daaku Maharaaj Tollywood ₹ 0.40 Cr Hari Hara Veera Mallu Tollywood ₹ 0.33 Cr Bad Girl Kollywood ₹0.06 Cr 1. Kantara:Chapter 1 Industry:Sandalwood (Kannada) Director:Rishab Shetty Star Cast:Rishab Shetty,Rukmini Vasanth"¨ The prequel to the 2022 divine blockbuster Kantara shattered ceilings. Delving deeper into the origins of the Panjurli Daiva during the Kadamba era, the film offered a visual spectacle that was both raw and grandiose. The Divine climax once again became a cultural talking point, driving repeat audiences in Maharashtra and the Hindi belt. It stands as the only true All Time Blockbuster from the South in Hindi this year. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 2. Coolie Industry:Kollywood (Tamil) Director:Lokesh Kanagaraj Star Cast:Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna, Shruti Haasan, Soubin Shahir."¨ The union of Thalaivar Rajinikanth and director Lokesh Kanagaraj was expected to set the screens on fire. A stylish gangster drama involving a gold-smuggling syndicate, the film had massive hype. However, the Hindi numbers (₹ 37.23 Cr) suggest it played more to the gallery of existing fans rather than breaking out to the neutral Hindi audience like Vikram or Jailer. 3.Game Changer Industry:Tollywood (Telugu) Director:S. Shankar Star Cast:Ram Charan, Kiara Advani."¨ Coming off the global high of RRR, Ram Charan teamed up with the showman Shankar. While the film's political theme resonated in the South, the Hindi audience found the narrative slightly dated. ₹ 32.93 Cr is a respectable total but falls short of the expectations set for a Ram Charan and Shankar collaboration. 4.Mirai Industry:Tollywood (Telugu) Director:Karthik Ghattamaneni Star Cast:Teja Sajja, Ritika Nayak. "¨The surprise package of the year. After HanuMan, Teja Sajja cemented his position with Mirai. Based on the legend of Ashoka's 9 secret books, this Super Yodha film connected well with kids and families, earning nearly ₹ 17 Cr purely on concept strength without a Tier-1 star. 5. Baahubali:The Epic Industry:Pan India (Re-release/Edit) Director:S.S. Rajamouli Star Cast:Prabhas,Anushka Shetty"¨ To celebrate the franchise's legacy, the makers released a special Single Film edit of the two part saga with remastered visuals.While die hard fans turned up, the ₹ 6.95 Cr collection proves that the audience prefers new content over nostalgia trips in theaters. 6. HIT:The Third Case Industry:Tollywood (Telugu) Director:Sailesh Kolanu Star Cast:Nani, Srinidhi Shetty."¨ Nani entered the HIT universe as Arjun Sarkar. While the film was a critical success in Telugu, the dark, gritty thriller genre has a limited ceiling in the Hindi dubbed market unless backed by massive marketing, reflected in its niche ₹ 4.11 Cr collection. 7. Kannappa Industry:Tollywood (Telugu) Director:Mukesh Kumar Singh Star Cast:Vishnu Manchu,Preity Mukhundhan (Cameos: Prabhas, Akshay Kumar, Mohanlal)."¨ Despite a star-studded lineup of cameos including Prabhas and Akshay Kumar, this mythological drama starring Vishnu Manchu failed to generate buzz in the Hindi belt, collecting a meager ₹ 3.98 Cr. 8. Lokah:Chapter 1 - Chandra Industry:Mollywood(Malayalam) Director:Dominic Arun Star Cast:Kalyani Priyadarshan, Naslen, Sandy. "¨Malayalam cinema's ambitious entry into the superhero genre! Starring Kalyani Priyadarshan, the film was praised for its VFX and unique world-building. For a Malayalam film without a traditional Mass Hero, earning ₹ 3.78 Cr in Hindi is a positive sign of growth. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 9.They Call Him OG Industry:Tollywood (Telugu) Director:Sujeeth Star Cast:Pawan Kalyan, Priyanka Mohan."¨ The biggest shocker of the list. Pawan Kalyan's gangster drama, despite featuring Emraan Hashmi as the antagonist, crashed in Hindi with just ₹ 3.36 Cr. It highlights that Pawan Kalyan's stardom is still strictly regional compared to peers like Prabhas or Allu Arjun. 10. L2:Empuraan Industry:Mollywood (Malayalam) Director:Prithviraj Sukumaran Star Cast:Mohanlal, Manju Warrier,Prithviraj. The sequel to Lucifer. While a massive blockbuster in Kerala, the complex political drama of Empuraan proved too dense for the mass Hindi audience, collecting just ₹ 2.59 Cr. 11. Thug Life Industry:Kollywood (Tamil) Director:Mani Ratnam Star Cast:Kamal Haasan, Trisha Krishnan,Silambarasan TR."¨ The reunion of legends Mani Ratnam and Kamal Haasan after decades was a cinematic event, but sadly, only for Tamil Nadu. The Hindi version was a non-starter (₹ 1.7 Cr), proving that Class Classics rarely translate to Mass Hindi Box Office. 12.The Girlfriend"¨ Industry:Tollywood (Telugu)"¨ Director:Rahul Ravindran"¨ Star Cast:Rashmika Mandanna, Dheekshith Shetty."¨ "¨A solo lead thriller by Rashmika Mandanna. While she is a National Crush, the film's niche subject matter restricted its appeal, leading to a washout in the Hindi dubbed version."¨ 13.Madharasi"¨ Director:A.R.Murugadoss"¨ Star Cast:Sivakarthikeyan, Vidyut Jammwal."¨ "¨Despite being directed by A.R.Murugadoss (known for Ghajini) and starring Vidyut Jammwal (a known face in Hindi), this film was a disaster in Hindi. It seems the audience has moved past the 2000s style of commercial filmmaking."¨ 14.Retro Industry:Kollywood (Tamil) Director:Karthik Subbaraj Star Cast:Suriya, Pooja Hegde."¨ Also known as Suriya 44, this stylish actioner by Karthik Subbaraj was expected to be Suriya's big theatrical comeback in Hindi. The shocking collection of less than ₹ 50 Lakhs indicates a complete failure in marketing or release strategy in the North. 15.Daaku Maharaaj"¨ Industry:Tollywood (Telugu)"¨ Director:Bobby Kolli"¨ Star Cast:Nandamuri Balakrishna, Bobby Deol"¨"¨ Even the presence of Bobby Deol (fresh off Animal fame) couldn't save this Balakrishna mass entertainer in Hindi. The over the top action style of NBK clearly has zero takers in the Hindi belt in 2025."¨ 16. Hari Hara Veera Mallu"¨ Industry:Tollywood (Telugu)"¨ Director:Krish Jagarlamudi,Jyoti Krishna"¨ Star Cast:Pawan Kalyan, Bobby Deol."¨ "¨A delayed period drama that felt stale upon arrival. With collections of just ₹33 Lakhs, it stands as a significant commercial underperformer for a star of Pawan Kalyan's stature."¨ (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 17.Bad Girl Industry:Kollywood (Tamil) Director:Varsha Bharath Star Cast:Anjali Sivaraman."¨ A small budget coming of age drama produced by heavyweights like Vetrimaaran. While critically acclaimed in festivals, it was virtually non-existent at the Hindi box office. Ultimately, 2025 will be remembered as the year the Hindi market transitioned from being a star reliant territory to a landscape defined by audience discernment. The staggering gap between Kantara (₹223 Cr) and generic mass entertainers highlights a significant shift in viewer preferences. When highly anticipated projects featuring legends struggle to gain traction while a rooted folklore thriller creates history, the trend is undeniable.The era of blind loyalty to formulaic tropes is fading, making way for a new chapter of content supremacy.

Dhurandhar Unleashed: Ranveer Singh's actioner becomes the 5th Indian film of 2025 to breach the 500 Cr mark

The year 2025 has officially become a landmark year for Indian cinema, defined by a series of box office juggernauts that have shattered linguistic and genre barriers. What began with the divine roar of Rishab Shetty's Kantara Chapter 1 has now evolved into a high-stakes battle for supremacy. The latest entrant to this elite list is Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar, which has stormed past the ₹500 crore mark in just 10 days. Unlike the earlier blockbusters that have largely concluded their runs, Dhurandhar is currently in the middle of a box office rampage, breathing fresh life into theaters and challenging the benchmarks set by its predecessors. A closer look at the leaderboard reveals a fascinating contrast in trajectory. While Kantara Chapter 1 and Vicky Kaushal"™s Chhaava sit comfortably at the top with colossal lifetime grosses crossing ₹800 crores, the dynamics in the ₹500 crore bracket are shifting rapidly. Dhurandhar has already eclipsed the lifetime collection of Coolie and is now breathing down the neck of the romantic musical Saiyaara. What makes this feat remarkable is the speed; while its competitors took weeks to consolidate these numbers, Dhurandhar has achieved this dominance in merely a week and a half, signaling that its final landing spot could be much higher up the ladder. The trade is buzzing with anticipation as Dhurandhar continues its unstoppable theatrical run with strong holdover audiences. It serves as the perfect counter-narrative to the mythological and historical grandeur of the year's top two hits, proving that a gritty, high-octane spy thriller can deliver equally massive numbers. As it heads into its second week with virtually no slowing down, the industry isn't just celebrating its entry into the ₹500 crore club, but actively calculating just how far this Ranveer Singh starrer will go in chasing down the year's biggest records.

OTT Watchlist Expands with Kantara and Other Big Releases This Week Oct 27 to Nov 2

Bengaluru, October 27 - The exhibitors of Karnataka finally had a moment of joy this year with Rishab Shetty-fronted Kantara Chapter 1 doing excellent business and bringing people to theatres in big numbers. They were hoping for more to come, but their happiness has been cut short by a disappointing and questionable move by the makers. Despite the film continuing its very good run and showing remarkable stability across regions, the team has decided to drop it on the OTT platform much sooner than expected. At a time when almost every South Indian film is dropping on OTT after just four weeks of its theatrical release, Kantara Chapter 1 had the perfect chance to break the trend. The Rishab Shetty directorial was still performing excellently at the box office, showing no signs of slowing down even in its fourth weekend. With a strong hold and exceptional word of mouth, the film was well on its way to extending its glorious run and setting new benchmarks for long theatrical sustainability in the post-pandemic era. In its fourth weekend alone, the film grossed over 30 crores domestically, with nearly half of that coming from the Kannada version. These are solid numbers for a film that opened to massive numbers in its initial week, proving its continued dominance and audience connection. A longer exclusive theatrical run could have easily pushed the film's lifetime total significantly higher, adding many more crores to its already stellar tally. However, the makers have now officially confirmed the film's OTT release. The period folk actioner will drop on Amazon Prime Video on October 31st in Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam, and Tamil versions, four weeks after its release. This decision comes across as both disappointing and questionable, especially considering the film's ongoing momentum at the ticket windows. In opting for an early digital release, the team may have left considerable box office potential untapped, undermining what could have been an even more historic run. Beyond the numbers, this move also affects exhibitors, particularly in Karnataka, where Kantara Chapter 1 has been a saviour amid a dull theatrical year. A longer theatrical run would have benefited both the film's legacy and the local theatre chains, reinforcing the power of strong content to sustain on the big screen. Instead, this shortened window feels like a missed opportunity for both the industry and the film's makers, and more importantly, for the theatre ecosystem, which has been struggling this year in Karnataka.
