Pyre is getting more shows from tomorrow.

Vinod Kapri's film lost a lot of screenings when Ramayana came out. He spoke up about it, and now PVR and Cinepolis are adding more shows from Friday.

Comment if catching it this weekend? 👇

8 films. One Friday. 🍿

Nov 20 is packed. Dhanush's #OM. Sunny Deol vs his sister Esha Deol. Dulquer. Jackie Shroff's horror film. Plus Hunger Games, Godzilla and Johnny Depp.

And #Ramayana is still running.

Which one are you booking? 👇

Rajkumar Periasamy won the National Award for Best Direction for Amaran. Bar is high.

OM hits cinemas November 20. Part one of a two-part story. Same day as Dulquer Salmaan's Aakasamlo Oka Tara. Father vs son 😄

Watching OM on day one? 👇

The #OMtrailer finally dropped just before midnight. And honestly? Worth the wait.

#Dhanush. #Mammootty. #SaiPallavi. All in one film. Made by the director of Amaran.

My quick thoughts on #OperationMole 👇

Sai Abhyankkar's music is getting a lot of love too. Fans can't stop talking about the background score.

One worry though. The trailer shows a lot. Some fans already feel the whole plot is out. Hope they saved a few surprises.

#Ramayana just passed #Pathaan and #Kalki worldwide. In only 9 days. 🔥

Friday added ₹47.85 Cr nett in India. Worldwide total is now ₹1,110.70 Cr (Sacnilk).

Those two took weeks to reach their final numbers. Jawan is next.

Does it get there this weekend? 👇

Johnny Depp's Ebenezer made $1.5M from Thursday previews in the US.

That's below Red One ($3.7M) and The Grinch ($2.2M). Not a big start. Not a disaster either.

Paramount still hopes for about $20M at home this weekend. Can Depp pull it off? 👇

Dhanush's OM just got a new full title 👀

Old: OM – Chapter 1: Udhiram – The Blood Wood
New: O.M. – #OperationMole

Tamil media say censor board issues forced the change. Trailer is still delayed. Release stays Nov 20.

Better name or worse? 👇

The #OMtrailer is running late. 😅

It was meant to drop at 7 PM. Now the makers say it's "slightly delayed" and coming "soon." No new time yet.

The film still hits cinemas Nov 20.

Still waiting up for it? 👇

Two South films landed on OTT this week. Both exactly 4 weeks after release.

One is the biggest Tamil hit ever. The other struggled.

#Jailer2 hit Prime Video on Nov 12.
#Ranabaali hit Netflix on Nov 13.

Same window. Very different stories.

Jailer 2 came out Oct 15 and made over ₹800 Cr worldwide. Highest-grossing Tamil film of all time.

Still, it was on Prime in 28 days.

And honestly the theatres had already moved on. When #Ramayana opened on Nov 5, Jailer 2's shows went from 8,004 to 1,241 in one day.

Ranabaali opened Oct 16 with ₹9.25 Cr nett. Then it just kept falling.

Only ₹1.6 Cr in its whole third week. It ended around ₹59 Cr nett in India, about ₹80 Cr worldwide.

For a film like this, OTT is a second chance. Plenty of people likely skipped theatres for this one.

Hindi films usually wait 6 to 8 weeks before streaming. Most big Tamil and Telugu films get just 4.

My take? 4 weeks makes sense for films that are struggling. For a real hit, it feels too early.

Should big hits get a longer window? Tell me 👇

After this, #Monster is lined up with Vamshi Paidipally for Eid 2027. That is the next big action film, not something immediate.

If Maatrubhumi only does okay, the pressure on Monster only grows.

Is Salman heading the right way? 👇

OPINION

#SalmanKhan wants a serious war film. The buzz around #Maatrubhumi is not settled yet.

The trailer is out. A few songs are out too. It comes to theatres on December 4, after more than one delay.

Is he on the right track? My take. 👇

[ť @toopointo]

The idea is right. A soldier's story about peace, not just fighting. Far better than another loud, careless movie.

What needs to improve is the tone. Pick one and hold it. Don't let playful songs weaken a heavy subject. And don't let a film sit so long that the heat fades.

Mookuthi Amman 2 is having a rough first week. 😬

Nayanthara's sequel made ₹17.93 Cr nett in India in 7 days (Sacnilk). Its best day was Monday at ₹5.15 Cr. By Thursday it was down to ₹75 lakh.

Too much #Ramayana and #Scene around, or something else? 👇
