Will there be a ticket hike for Thandel in Andhra Pradesh? ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

This situation is unusual because in the past, ticket price hikes were common in Telangana under the Kcr government. Now Andhra Pradesh is considering the hike while Telangana is not.

The question is whether a price hike is really needed for a film starring Naga Chaitanya, who is considered a tier-2 hero. Thandel has a budget of ₹90 crore. Despite the large budget, it is still seen as a medium-budget film because of Naga Chaitanya’s market value. Some believe that such hikes could harm medium-budget films.

A recent success, Sankranthiki Vasthunnam shows that films can do well even with current or slightly higher ticket prices. The secret is to offer reasonable ticket rates that can attract all kinds of viewers including family audiences .

In the vibrant world of South Indian cinema, Ammu stands out as a compelling narrative that delves deep into the shadows of toxic masculinity and patriarchal norms. Directed by Charukesh Sekar, this Telugu-language drama thriller, released on Amazon Prime Video in October 2022, offers a raw portrayal of domestic abuse and a woman’s journey to reclaim her life.

Challenging Societal Norms and Patriarchy

Ammu introduces us to Amudha, affectionately known as Ammu, portrayed by the talented Aishwarya Lekshmi. Her marriage to Ravi, a police inspector played by Naveen Chandra, initially appears idyllic. However, the facade soon crumbles, revealing Ravi‘s descent into abusive behavior—a manifestation of deep-seated patriarchal attitudes and toxic masculinity.

The film doesn’t shy away from depicting the harsh realities many women face in patriarchal societies. Ammu‘s initial silence and endurance reflect the societal pressure on women to maintain familial harmony, even at the cost of personal suffering.

Donald Trump might not be holding his head in shame right now, but you better believe that his family is certainly doing it for him.

Barron Trump – Ashamed Of His Father Donald Trump After Guilty Verdict

As many critics know by now, the former president has been found guilty on all 34 counts in his historic hush money case. But it’s not like Trump is putting any of the blame on himself. He believes that the court case was rigged. Yet, his son Barron Trump might not see it that same way.

That’s because he’s about to start college and he’s scared that all anyone is going to want to talk about is how his father paid off an adult film star to keep quiet about their alleged affair and got caught. For a young teen like Barron, this has got to be very humiliating.

During the week...

A reporter at the Capitol approached Texas Sen. Ten Cruz (R). Cruz appeared to be in an upbeat mood when the conversation began. However, Cruz turned defensive when questioned about his podcast, Verdict, and the questionable payments surrounding it.

“I understand you have a mission to write an attack piece,” Cruz told the reporter.

The thrice-weekly Verdict podcast hosted by Cruz has raised legal and ethical questions. In March, the Houston Chronicle reported that iHeartMedia gave “Truth and Courage,” a super Pac supporting Cruz’s reelection, more than $630,000. iHeartMedia hosts Cruz’s podcast.

Campaign laws forbid candidates from corresponding with super PACs that support them. While it is not yet confirmed that Cruz has directly supported Truth and Courage, the connection between his podcast and iHeartMedia could raise legal trouble for the senator.

The Campaign Legal Center and End Citizens United have already filed a complaint against Cruz with the Federal Election Commission.

The office of Former First Lady Michelle Obama has declared that she has no plans to run for president in this year’s election.

On March 5, Obama’s office ended talks of her possible run for president in a bid to silence frequent speculation and wishful thinking about her taking the Democratic nomination from President Joe Biden.

“As former first lady Michelle Obama has expressed several times over the years, she will not be running for president,” Crystal Carson, the communications director of the former first lady’s office, declared in a statement. “Mrs. Obama supports President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris‘ re-election campaign.”

This statement comes after Republicans like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy publicly encouraged the idea that Obama could replace Biden on the ballot.

Many Republicans and conservative commentators fueled speculation that Obama could come in at the last minute,...

Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone’s Fighter had a thunderous roar on the second day of release at the box office. Helmed by Siddharth Anand, the action-drama collected almost 41.20 crore on January 26, a National Holiday. However, the advance booking did not ensure such a massive number.

But the mood of the nation for this war film was witnessed clearly with a massive jump from the opening day. The film opened at 24.60 crore on day one and jumped by almost 67% on day 2, which was a National Holiday.

The word of mouth for the film, which was brilliant, also pushed the numbers on the second day. The opening day for Fighter was lukewarm, but if taken into consideration the fact that it was a working day, the gaze for the film’s earnings definitely changed.
