The upcoming collaboration between Venkatesh Daggubati and director Anil Ravipudi, which has been under production with the working title VenkyAnil5, now has a reported name and a confirmed release slot. The film is titled January 12 Vidudala, and the makers have locked in its theatrical debut for January 12, 2027. This timing secures the project a prime spot during the Sankranthi festival season, a window that has traditionally been very successful for the director. If you look at the track record of Anil Ravipudi, his ability to dominate the Sankranthi window is quite remarkable. His winning streak with family audiences during the festival began in 2019 with the massive success of F2: Fun and Frustration. He followed this in 2020 with the high-voltage action-comedy Sarileru Neekevvaru, which became one of the biggest grossers of that season. More recently, his 2025 release Sankranthiki Vasthunam solidified his standing as a commercial powerhouse, grossing over 255 Crore worldwide and marking a career-best solo hit. Even this year, he hit the bullseye with Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, which served as his ninth consecutive blockbuster and made significant waves in international markets like North America. With January 12 Vidudala, the director is clearly aiming to maintain this unbeaten festive record. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) This project marks the fifth official collaboration between Venkatesh and director Anil Ravipudi, following a string of successful box office outings. Their partnership began with the massive hits F2 and F3, followed by the festive success of Sankranthiki Vasthunam in 2025. Most recently, Venkatesh made a memorable extended cameo under Anil direction in the 2026 film Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu. For this new venture, titled January 12 Vidudala, Venkatesh will be sharing the screen with Nandamuri Kalyan Ram. While their previous Fun and Frustration films were driven by slapstick humor, this project is expected to be a family-oriented entertainer with a different narrative style. Produced by Dil Raju under the Sri Venkateswara Creations banner, the film also features Aishwarya Rajesh and Meenakshi Chaudhary in key roles. The title itself is quite literal, directly referencing the scheduled release date to focus audience attention on the festive deadline. By announcing the title and date this early, the makers are clearly preparing for a high-stakes competition during the 2027 Sankranthi season. Given their track record, the industry is looking at this as a significant release for the holiday window.

Rao Bahadur, the latest psychological drama from director Venkatesh Maha, has been making headlines for its bold storytelling and a significant endorsement from one of the industry's most influential voices. Despite being produced on a substantial budget of 40 crore, the film has carved out a niche for itself at the box office, particularly through its strong digital ticket sales and critical acclaim. As of its 11th day of release, the movie has achieved a worldwide gross collection of 11.17 crore, which includes a steady 4.50 crore from overseas markets. One of the biggest talking points for this film is the high praise it received from director Sandeep Reddy Vanga. In a heartfelt review, Vanga described it as one of those rare, rich films that reminds audiences why they fell in love with cinema. He made a specific request to film lovers to give three hours of their lives to this project, noting that it deserves attention and applause. He particularly highlighted the sensational performance of Satyadev Kancharana and credited Venkatesh Maha for crafting the film with absolute conviction and no shortcuts. Such an endorsement is significant for a film that explores complex themes like royal obsession and terminal illness. Looking at the domestic performance, Rao Bahadur has collected a net total of 6.04 crore in India after running across 7,317 shows. The film saw a decent start with a 3.61 crore worldwide gross on its opening day, which grew to 8.1 crore by the end of the first weekend. Its first week concluded with a net collection of 5.45 crore. The regional breakdown shows that the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana markets have been the primary drivers, contributing 5.49 crore to the gross. Karnataka followed with 0.54 crore, while Tamil Nadu and the rest of India each contributed around 0.12 crore. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The digital engagement for this film has been remarkably high. On BookMyShow, the movie has officially crossed the milestone of selling over 160K tickets. During its peak opening week, the film experienced high tracking velocity, at one point selling 1,600 tickets per hour and recording over 12,400 bookings within a single 24-hour window. In national chains, the film sold approximately 18.3K tickets over its 11-day run. It is worth noting that BookMyShow user reviews and ratings for this title are currently disabled following a court order, making the raw ticket sales a more direct indicator of audience interest. The film's plot is a layered narrative centered on Ramappa Rao Bahadur, an aging aristocrat battling cancer and a toxic obsession regarding his lineage. Directed, written, and edited by Venkatesh Maha, the 2-hour 49-minute film uses magical realism and societal critique to tell its story. While the gap between its 40 crore budget and current 11.17 crore worldwide gross is wide, the project has gained prestige through its artistic merit and the dedicated performances of the core cast, including Anand Bharathi and Deepa Thomas.

Venkatesh Maha is a filmmaker known for breaking conventions, and his latest project, Rao Bahadur, is officially ready to hit theaters worldwide on July 3, 2026. This psychological dark comedy, starring Satyadev, has been generating significant curiosity among mature moviegoers who are looking for something beyond standard commercial cinema. As we head into the opening day, the initial tracking data and advance sales suggest that the film is already making an impact, particularly in the international circuit and major urban hubs in India. One of the most discussed aspects of Rao Bahadur is what trade analysts are calling the 169-minute bet. The film has been cleared by the CBFC with a U/A certificate and a finalized runtime of 2 hours and 49 minutes. For a psychological thriller, this is a very bold duration, but it highlights the director's confidence in his ability to keep the audience immersed in his story. The marketing campaign, built around the tagline Doubt is a Demon, has successfully positioned the film as a dark, intellectual experience. This approach seems to be working, as we are seeing a strong wave of interest from premium-plex audiences who favor character-driven narratives. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Venkatesh Maha has consistently proven that the scale of a film is defined by its storytelling rather than its budget. His directorial debut, C/o Kancharapalem, remains a gold standard for Return on Investment (ROI) in modern Telugu cinema. Produced on a micro-budget of just 44 to 70 Lakhs, the film collected roughly 20 times its cost in theaters, finishing with a worldwide gross of 7 Cr. It also made a significant mark in the US market with a lifetime gross of 274,600 dollars, driven purely by word-of-mouth. His second outing, Uma Maheswara Ugra Roopasya, saw his first collaboration with Satyadev and became a top performer on Netflix during the pandemic. This track record of critical and commercial efficiency is a major reason why the industry has high expectations for Rao Bahadur, despite its unconventional and experimental nature. The overseas market has provided the strongest initial response so far. The film has officially crossed the 100,000 dollar milestone in total overseas pre-sales, which translates to over 83 Lakhs in Indian rupees. The NRI diaspora, especially in North America, has shown exceptional enthusiasm for this release. According to the final premiere advance sales report from Venky Box Office, the film earned 55,829 dollars in the USA across 167 locations. With approximately 250 shows scheduled for the premiere, the film sold nearly 3,800 tickets. These are healthy numbers for a mid-budget Telugu drama, especially one that deviates from the usual action-heavy formula. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) On the domestic front, the momentum is picking up rapidly as well. Online ticketing portals went live on July 1, and the response from urban centers has been sharp. In Hyderabad alone, BookMyShow reported over 6,000 ticket bookings within the first 24-hour window of the sales going live. This surge is being led by high-end multiplexes in cities like Hyderabad, Vizag, and Vijayawada. The domestic tracking suggests that while the film might have a focused target audience, that segment is turning up in large numbers to catch the early shows. As Rao Bahadur begins its worldwide journey, it is clear that the film is relying on its unique premise and the reputation of its director to drive footfalls. With premieres scheduled in the UK, Ireland, and Canada alongside the US today, followed by Australia, UAE, and Singapore on Friday, the global rollout is extensive. The next 24 hours will be crucial as the first set of reviews and audience feedback will determine how well this 169-minute psychological gamble pays off at the box office.

Kochi, May 11 - The buzz surrounding Drishyam 3 continues to grow bigger with every passing day. After a strong response to the film's promotional material and initial advance bookings, the makers have now confirmed that the Mohanlal-starrer will release not only in Malayalam but also in Telugu, Tamil, and Kannada dubbed versions. Jeethu Joseph Confirms Dubbed Version Release of Drishyam 3 (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Director Jeethu Joseph confirmed in an interview that the dubbed versions are being prepared alongside the original Malayalam release. Unlike the previous instalments, which were later remade in different industries, the third part is expected to arrive simultaneously for audiences across South India. This move is seen as an attempt to capitalise on the nationwide popularity of the franchise and Mohanlal's growing reach outside Kerala. The development also reportedly rules out the possibility of separate remakes in some industries, especially Telugu cinema. The earlier Telugu adaptations, titled Drushyam and Drushyam 2, featured Venkatesh Daggubati in the lead role and were successful at the box office. With the Telugu version being planned, the remake option is no longer in the making.

The pre-sales of the film have crossed 2 crore gross in Kerala, while worldwide sales have topped 5 crores gross for the opening day, with several days still left for release on May 21, plus the full-fledged bookings are yet to open in many regions. The strong initial response reflects the massive anticipation surrounding Georgekutty’s return and the continuation of one of Indian cinema’s most iconic thriller sagas. The Drishyam franchise remains one of Indian cinema's most celebrated thriller series. The first film became a blockbuster and was later remade in multiple languages, including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Sinhala, and even Chinese. The sequel was released directly on Amazon Prime Video and scored solid viewership, strengthening the franchise's reputation for gripping storytelling and unpredictable twists.
