Venkatesh and Trivikram’s Aadarsha Kutumbam arrived in theatres last week. The movie opened to a mixed response from critics and audiences, who felt Trivikram’s writing wasn’t up to the mark.

The movie had a decent first weekend at the box office, but compared to its target, it should have done much better. As Aadarsha Kutumbam has now entered the weekdays, it is bound to drop. However, what matters the most now is how well it can fare during the Diwali season. If the movie can post strong growth during the festive weekend, it can make a healthy recovery.

Aadarsha Kutumbam will also face strong competition from Ramayana. S. Radhakrishna (China Babu) of Haarika & Hassine Creations has bankrolled Aadarsha Kutumbam. Srinidhi Shetty played the female lead. Yuvina Parthavi, Nivetha Pethuraj, Nara Rohit, Pujita Ponnada, Rao Ramesh, Raja Prajwal, Devyani Sharma, and Brahmaji appeared in key roles. Thaman is the music composer.

Ajith Kumar’s much-awaited film Dare Devil is set to have its formal launch today, as per news. Directed by Adhik Ravichandran, the film marks the duo’s second consecutive collaboration after the success of Good Bad Ugly.

The project is being produced by Ajith’s wife, Shalini Ajithkumar, under the Bravehearts Production banner, marking her debut as a producer.

Anirudh Ravichander is composing the music, while Abinandhan Ramanujam handles cinematography. Ajith is returning to films after taking a break to focus on his racing commitments.

The makers had earlier unveiled a stylish first-look poster and announced November 2 as the filming start date. Regular shooting is expected to begin later this month.

Mollywood star Dulquer Salmaan has two upcoming Telugu releases. While Aakasamlo Oka Tara (AOT) is ready to hit theatres on November 20, 2026, his other movie, Sri Sri, is still in the shooting phase.

The team is currently shooting an important scene in Hyderabad. Filming is taking place at AVN Institute of Engineering and Technology (AVNIET), and the key cast is part of the shoot.

Originally, the movie was scheduled for December 4, 2026, but the team is likely to announce a new date. Pooja Hegde is the female lead in this romantic drama, directed by Ravi Nelakuditi.

Sudhakar Cherukuri is producing the movie under the SLV Cinemas banner, with GV Prakash Kumar composing the music. Stay tuned for more updates.
