Venkatesh and Trivikram’s Aadarsha Kutumbam opened to mixed reviews from critics. They felt that the first half of the film was fairly entertaining, but the second half couldn’t keep up with the momentum.

However, the biggest complaint has been about the background score, which netizens feel is both loud and unappealing. They opine that Thaman could have done a far better job with the family entertainer.

Also, the absence of chartbuster songs has affected the film to some extent. Backed by Haarika and Haasine Creations, Aadarsha Kutumbam features Srinidhi Shetty as the female lead.

Mega Power Star Ram Charan and Sukumar’s most-anticipated RC17 will kickstart soon. So far, no details have been revealed about the cast and crew, but rumours regarding the female lead have been doing the rounds.

Initially, Sara Arjun was said to be the front-runner, but later, Aneet Padda’s name also popped up in the discussions. The latest and surprising entry to the list is Telugu girl Saatvika Veeravalli.

Interestingly, Saatvika Veeravalli’s debut film, Aakasamlo Oka Tara, which also features Dulquer Salmaan, is yet to hit the big screens. She is also said to be associated with Naga Chaitanya’s 25th film.

The latest buzz about Saatvika Veeravalli’s association with RC17 has come as a surprise to Charan fans. We need to see whom Sukumar eventually casts. Mythri Movie Makers will bankroll the biggie.

Bollywood Baadshah Shah Rukh Khan will next be seen in the gangster action drama King. Directed by Siddharth Anand of War and Pathaan fame, the movie marks the theatrical debut of Suhana Khan.

According to an exclusive report by Pinkvilla, Phars Films has acquired the overseas distribution rights of King for a mind-blowing Rs. 175 crores, the highest-ever for an Indian film.

It is said to be a Minimum Guarantee (MG) deal, which is quite unusual for Bollywood films. So far, no other Indian film is said to have fetched over Rs. 100 crores on an MG basis.

King was initially supposed to be released overseas by Yash Raj Films, but the deal has now changed hands. Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Rani Mukerji, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Jaideep Ahlawat, Arshad Warsi, and Raghav Juyal play crucial roles. The biggie releases on December 24, 2026.
