Superstar Rajinikanth scored yet another industry hit with Jailer 2, the sequel to his 2023 blockbuster Jailer. Directed by Nelson, the film is now inching towards the Rs. 800 crore mark globally.

Jailer 2 became the first film to gross over Rs. 75 crores in Tamil Nadu, the Telugu states, Karnataka, and Kerala individually. This new record goes on to show the level of acceptance Thalaivar enjoys across territories.

Produced by Sun Pictures, Jailer 2 also features Vidya Balan, SJ Suryah, Suraj Venjaramoodu, Mithun Chakraborty, Ramya Krishnan, Mirnaa Menon and Namo Narayana in vital roles. Anirudh composed the tunes. Hrithik Roshan, Mohanlal, Vijay Sethupathi, and Shiv Rajkumar appeared in cameos.

After a long wait, Venkatesh and Trivikram have finally joined hands for the family entertainer Aadarsha Kutumbam. The movie was postponed multiple times, but it finally made it to the big screens yesterday.

The film received mixed reviews from critics, and on its opening day, it earned around Rs. 20 crores globally as per trade reports. The movie started on a slow note but picked up reasonably well with the first and second shows. Srinidhi Shetty played the female lead.

S. Radhakrishna (China Babu) of Haarika & Hassine Creations has bankrolled Aadarsha Kutumbam. Yuvina Parthavi, Nivetha Pethuraj, Nara Rohit, Pujita Ponnada, Rao Ramesh, Raja Prajwal, Devyani Sharma, and Brahmaji played key roles. Thaman is the music composer.

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.
