Latest psychological horror sensation Obsession was made on a shoestring budget but has gone on to become a massive box office success. Directed by Curry Barker, the film stars Michael Johnston and Inde Navarrette in lead roles.

The film was initially expected to arrive on VOD much earlier. However, its phenomenal theatrical run reportedly prompted the makers to delay its digital debut. The latest buzz suggests that Obsession could arrive on BMS Stream for rental in multiple South Indian languages.

While this is yet to be officially confirmed, the development will certainly excite movie lovers who have been waiting to watch the blockbuster in their preferred language.

Obsession has also emerged as a surprise winner at the Indian box office. After opening on a modest note, the psychological horror thriller witnessed exceptional growth through positive word of mouth and has now grossed over Rs. 60 crore in India.

Trade circles note that the Telugu states have contributed significantly to the film’s success, with Telangana emerging as one of its strongest markets.

Nagabandham: The Secret Treasure is one of the most awaited Telugu films in recent times. The mythological fantasy adventure thriller stars Virat Karrna, Nabha Natesh, and Iswarya Menon in lead roles and is directed by Abhishek Nama. Scheduled for a grand release on July 3, 2026, the film has been creating good buzz with its intriguing promotional content and rich visuals.

The latest info is that Nagabandham has locked a runtime of around 3 hours and 15 minutes. While the duration is on the longer side, it may not be a major concern considering the film’s genre and storyline. With mystery, mythology, hidden treasures, and adventure forming the core plot, the makers seem to have opted for a detailed narrative. If the content remains engaging, the lengthy runtime could work in the film’s favour.

The teaser and other promotional assets have received a positive response so far, raising expectations among audiences. Mounted on a lavish scale with high production values and extensive VFX work, the film also features Jagapathi Babu, Mahesh Manjrekar, Murali Sharma, Daksha Nagarkar, and Rishabh Sawhney in key roles.

National Award-winning actress Kangana Ranaut, who once ruled the roost at the box office, has lately been struggling to draw crowds to theatres. Her new film Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata, based on the Mumbai 26/11 attacks at Cama Hospital, released yesterday to a shocking response.

According to trade reports, the movie earned just Rs. 1 crore nett on its opening day. What makes this number even more disappointing is that it has come despite a Buy One Get One offer. The offer has been extended till the weekend, but even that isn’t helping the film.

Kangana’s script choices of late haven’t been great, and fans continue to wait for her comeback. Manoj Tapadia is the writer and director of this thriller, which also stars Girija Oak, Smita Tambe, and Esha Dey in key roles. Kangana is one of the producers.

Legendary filmmaker Singeetam Srinivasa Rao’s Sing Geetham has opened to positive word-of-mouth and glowing reviews from critics and audiences alike.

The film’s unique concept, emotional storytelling, and music-driven narrative have earned appreciation, giving it a solid foundation. However, the real challenge begins at the box office.

While the initial response has been encouraging, occupancy levels need to grow significantly over the weekend for the film to sustain its theatrical run. The next two days will be crucial in determining its commercial prospects.

With Peddi no longer posing a major threat, Sing Geetham has a clear opportunity to attract family audiences. The makers may need to step up promotions and keep the film in the news to convert positive talk into stronger collections.
