I am ready to fight you.\"\r\nPromising action and drama, Vrusshabha explores the unbreakable father-son bond tested by unexpected challenges.

Avatar: Fire and Ash, the latest installment in James Cameron\'s sci-fi epic, has debuted with a 70% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, marking the lowest score in the franchise\'s history. Early reviews have left fans disappointed, with many expecting a stronger critical reception ahead of its December 19, 2025, release. The 3 hour and 12 minute film is set to hit theaters soon, but bookings in India aren\'t as buzzing as they were for Avatar: The Way of Water\r\nThe original Avatar (2009) shattered records, grossing $2.9 billion globally and earning an 81% Tomatometer score. The Way of Water (2022) followed with a 76% rating and over $2.3 billion in earnings, though mixed reviews seemed to impact Fire and Ash\'s early momentum. With pre-sales below expectations, the film&rsquo;s success now hinges on positive word of mouth.\r\nCritics are split on Fire and Ash, praising its visuals but questioning its narrative depth. While the franchise&rsquo;s technical prowess remains unmatched, some feel the story plays it safe. Audience excitement is still palpable, but the film needs to hit or surpass $2 billion globally to keep the franchise thriving.\r\nGiven James Cameron&rsquo;s track record, it&rsquo;s wise to reserve judgment until the curtains close. With Christmas around the corner, Avatar: Fire and Ash might still surprise. Avatar Fire and Ash Debuts With Lowest Rotten Tomatoes Rating in Franchise History
