\r\nLal Salaam, the Tamil movie featuring Superstar Rajinikanth in a crucial role, was released in theaters in 2024 but became a big failure at the box office. Despite Rajinikanth\'s presence, the film did not meet fans\' expectations and ended up underperforming. Lal Salaam marked Aishwarya Rajinikanth\'s comeback to feature film direction after a significant break, and it was funded by Lyca Productions.\r\nAfter a year of its theatrical release, Lal Salaam is finally arriving on OTT. Sunnxt, a prominent digital platform, has officially announced that the film will be available for streaming from June 7, 2025, coinciding with Bakrid. The digital release was stalled due to some alleged missing 40-minute footage from the film. Fans can now watch Lal Salaam in the comfort of their own homes, and it will be interesting to see how the film fares on the digital platform.\r\nLal Salaam\'s box office failure can be attributed to various factors, including the audience\'s expectations and the film\'s marketing strategy. Despite this, the film\'s OTT release will give it a second chance to reach a wider audience. With the rise of OTT platforms, many films have found success and new life after their theatrical release.\r\nThe announcement of Lal Salaam\'s OTT release on Sunnxt has generated interest among fans, and many are eagerly waiting to watch the film. Whether the film will gain a new lease on life on the digital platform remains to be seen.\r\n

Final Destination: Bloodlines has demonstrated impressive box office resilience in India, earning approximately Rs. 19 crore during its second week. The film\'s drop in revenue from the first to the second week was under 45%, which is notably strong for a Hollywood horror release in the Indian market. The cumulative gross stands at Rs. 58.50 crore after two weeks, with net collections just shy of Rs. 50 crore at Rs. 47.75 crore.\r\nThe movie faced significant competition from Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, but maintained a steady hold. Bloodlines earned around 40% of Mission: Impossible\'s revenue during the opening weekend, but by the end of the second week, the gap had considerably narrowed. If this trend persists, Bloodlines could even overtake Mission: Impossible in daily box office earnings during the upcoming weeks. Historically, no film from the Final Destination series had ever crossed the Rs. 10 crore mark in India before Bloodlines.\r\nThe success of Bloodlines signals a shift in the trend, confirming growing demand for Hollywood horror content. Globally, India ranks as one of the top markets for Bloodlines, trailing only behind the United Kingdom and Mexico in terms of revenue and ticket sales. The film\'s performance in India is nearly on par with Mexico, indicating a robust and expanding audience for Hollywood horror films in the region.\r\nBloodlines\' achievement places it as only the second Hollywood horror film to clear the Rs. 50 crore net mark in India. With its steady performance, the film is expected to continue generating significant revenue in the coming days.\r\n<div></div>

King Kohli\'s fans are super happy as he and his team Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) entered into the finals and will be aiming for their first IPL trophy on 3 June 2025.\r\nIn the meantime, a huge controversy erupted when Kohli liked a post of actress Avneet Kaur. His like increased her Instagram followers by 2 million even as Virat Kohli clarified that it happened by mistake. Some even mocked him for his clarification.\r\nIn the midst of all this, hot beauty Rakul Preet Singh reacted on the controversy. She said \"Too sad yaar. That is too sad. Hum bohot vele hain (we are so jobless), that we even know that his like increased 2 million followers for her. How does it matter if he liked or didn&rsquo;t or it happened by mistake. It often happens on Instagram that you unfollow friends by mistake. It&rsquo;s so sad that just because he&rsquo;s a celebrity, what he likes, doesn&rsquo;t like turns into news.\"\r\nShe continued&nbsp; \"It&rsquo;s a very personal decision. I don&rsquo;t think I have the place to comment on (why he gave an explanation). Everything comes under the scanner when you&rsquo;re a celebrity. We waste so much time on social media, it&rsquo;s not needed.\"\r\nRakul is busy with projects like Ajay Devgn\'s \'De De Pyaar De 2\' and Kamal Haasan\'s \'Indian 3.\'\r\n<div></div>

Shashtipoorthi (2025) Movie: What\'s Behind\r\nSenior stars Rajendra Prasad and Archana are coming together for Shashtipoorthi which features Rupeysh, Aakanksha Singh in the lead roles under the direction of Pavan Prabha. The film is releasing on 30 May 2025 let us see what Shashtipoorthi offered to movie lovers. Shashtipoorthi OTT rights are yet to be inked and will be announced at a later date.\r\nShashtipoorthi (2025) Movie: Story Review\r\nShasiphtipoorthi\'s story revolves around a young lawyer who gets sandwiched between the ideologies of his mother and father and how he deals with the complexities when a beautiful girl enters his life. Sriram (Rupeysh) is a lawyer raised by his mother Bhuvana (Archana) as an honest person who never lies whereas his father Diwakar (Rajendra Prasad) has different ideas. However Sriram\'s life takes a drastic turn when he comes across a beautiful girl Janaki (Aakanksha Singh).\r\nWhere this leads to and how he deals with them from the rest of the interesting developments.\r\nShashtipoorthi (2025) Movie: Artists Review\r\nRupeysh played the role of the lawyer, the lead role quite well. He came up with decent expressions and emotions and showed good body language and mannerisms. He delivered dialogues with ease and also enacted a few stunts. However, he has a long way to go and hone his skills to the maximum. Aakanksha Singh looked glamorous in songs and beautiful in the traditional attire.\r\nRajendra Prasad and Archana carried the film on their shoulders with their performances bringing in their experience. Their screen presence is good and elevated the scenes. However, the flashback episodes featuring Rajendra Prasad and Archana, especially the romantic scenes, looked extremely odd and a complete mismatch to the proceedings.\r\nOthers like Prabhas Sreenu, Chalaki Chanti, Chakrapani Ananda, Achyut Kumar, Muralidhar Goud, Anil, Jabardasth Ram, Latha, Swetha, Ruhi, Sanjay Swarup, Ambaresh Appaji, Anupama, Mahi Reddy, Firoz performed according to their roles.\r\nShashtipoorthi (2025) Movie: Technicians Review\r\nShashtipoorthi story is penned by Pavan Prabha. Right from the start till the end the narration assumed a predictable plot. The story is routine and monotonous and outdated. Even in the 80s, this story would have found it difficult to bring viewers to the big screen.\r\nThe story turned out to be weak but couple of scenes in the first half turned out to be decent. The interval block is ok but from then on the narration nosedives. Though, the director Pavan Prabha tried to connect chords with the emotions, everything turned out to be preachy and also predictable and failed to make an impact.\r\nTo the top of it, the flashback episodes looked extremely odd, especially the romantic track which became a laughing stock. The pre climax generates interest but it turned out to be forced and hurried to the core. Finally when the film comes to an end, everyone heaves a sigh of relief. Director failed with his screenplay and direction.\r\nIlayaraja\'s music and a couple of songs are melodious and foot tapping. They are shot in an appealing manner on the big screen. His background score is in sync with the storyline. Cinematography of Ram is good and he tried to beautify the film turning it colourful. He showed the beauty of Godavari region in a natural and scenic way. Editing of Karthika Srinivas turned out to be a disappointment. There are many drags and repetitive scenes that are left unattended. Production values are good.\r\nShashtipoorthi (2025) Movie: Advantages\r\nPromotes Ethics\r\nCouple of Songs\r\nCinematography\r\nShashtipoorthi (2025) Movie: Disadvantages\r\nOutdated Plot\r\nWeak Screenplay, Direction\r\nSnail\'s Pace\r\nShashtipoorthi (2025) Movie: Rating Analysis\r\nAltogether, Shashtiporthi turned out to be silly and outdated entertainer. Rupesh as a producer and actor came up with a spirited performance and roped in experienced cast and crew but the director Pavan Prabha came up with an outdated story and he came up with ridiculous scenes in the name of comedy and even more silly scenes in the name of flashback romance. The snail pace narration and serial like proceedings hampered the film. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating for Shashtipoorthi.
