Mega Star Chiranjeevi's Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu became the first Indian film to get court order banning negative reviews on social media and BookMyShow platform.

Following this, Rowdy Star Vijay Devarakonda, hailed the decision. He posted&nbsp; "Happy and Sad to see this - Happy to know hardwork, dreams and money of many is protected in a way. And Sad because of the reality of our own people causing these problems. What happened to live and let live? and growing together? Since the Days of Dear Comrade i first began to see the shocking politics of organised attacks (sic)."

He added "My voice all these years fell on deaf ears - i was told nobody can stop a good film. And every producer and director who then make a film with me, soon realises the scale of the issue (sic),"

He continued "I have stayed up many nights wondering what kind of people do this, and how to deal with them to protect my dreams and dreams of many who will come like me and after me.. I am glad it is now out in the open and the court now recognises the threat to movies even starring someone as big and powerful as Megastar himself. This will not solve the problem entirely but become one less thing to worry about. For now lets wish #MSG and all other Sankrathi films do extremely well by entertaining us all during the holidays (sic).&nbsp;

Sivakarthikeyan's latest film, Parasakthi, kicked off its release weekend with an impressive â‚¹11.50 crore collection on day one across India.

Packed theaters and strong audience turnout marked the film's opening day, with a solid 62.79% occupancy rate for Tamil shows.

Parasakthi saw morning screenings start at 45.71%, climb through the afternoon and evening, and reach a high of 79.04% at night. Starring Sivakarthikeyan alongside Ravi Mohan and Sreeleela, the film features a talented ensemble cast.

The film is expected to arrive on OTT platforms within the next two months, with ZEE5 acquiring its digital premiere rights. However, a specific release date is yet to be announced. Parasakthi was initially scheduled to hit screens on January 14 but was moved up to January 10 due to a delay in censor certification for Vijay's Jana Nayagan.

Directed and co-written by Sudha Kongara, Parasakthi underwent a major change during production. Originally titled Purananooru with Suriya in the lead role, it was later rebranded with Sivakarthikeyan taking over.

\r\nPrabhas\'s The Raja Saab had huge expectations pre-release, but its box office performance is underwrapping. The film\'s 2-day collections across all versions show it\'s doing decently only in Telugu. The Raja Saab\'s Day 2 all-versions gross is around â‚¹40 Cr, taking the total 2-day box office gross to approximately â‚¹152 Cr.\r\nOver 90% of collections come from Telugu, with Hindi and other South Indian languages being poor. The film\'s worldwide share is around â‚¹100 Cr, and it needs over â‚¹200 Cr share to reach breakeven. Given the current trend, the target looks tough.\r\nThe film opened with 112 Cr gross on the first day, but it\'s struggling to maintain momentum. The Telugu states\' performance is decent, but rest of India and overseas numbers saw a big drop. With theatrical rights valued at 165 Cr domestically, the film needs to hold strongly until the festival weekend.\r\nInterestingly, a hyped sequence showing Prabhas in an old man getup was omitted from the film but added in theaters today. Let\'s wait and see if this brings fans back.\r\n
