Overseas, the film is already out of theatres, and particularly talking about the Malaysian market, the Kollywood biggie amassed a blockbuster collection. It has wrapped up its run by being a part of the top 10 Indian grossers in Malaysia and crossed the lifetime collection of Thalapathy Vijay’s Mersal.

Over the years, we have witnessed significant growth in centers that are favorable to Tamil films. Malaysia is one such center where the business of Tamil films has kept growing over the years.

In the glittering world of South Indian cinema, where larger-than-life heroes and epic dramas dominate, Yogi Babu has carved a unique niche for himself. With his impeccable comic timing, quirky expressions, and unapologetic humor, Yogi Babu is not just a comedian; he’s a phenomenon. From humble beginnings to becoming one of the most sought-after actors in Tamil cinema, his journey is as inspiring as it is entertaining.

A Hilarious star is Born

Yogi Babu’s story began in an unexpected way. Born in a modest family in Tamil Nadu, he never imagined his life would take a cinematic turn. His first big break came with a blink-and-miss role in Yogi (2009), where his performance earned him the nickname, we all now recognize. The title became prophetic, as Yogi Babu soon found himself becoming a household name in Tamil Nadu.

The Greatest Of All Time Box Office (Malaysia): Thalapathy Vijay Starrer To Replace Shah Rukh Khan’s Dilwale For The Top Spot(Photo Credit – YouTube)

The dominance of Shah Rukh Khan in the overseas market is unreal, and over the years, he has maintained his stronghold. Surprisingly, his Dilwale, which received mixed reviews, is still at the top in Malaysia to be the highest-grossing Indian film. But it seems that Thalapathy Vijay’s The Greatest Of All Time will knock down the biggie from the No. 1 spot. Keep reading for a detailed box office report!

Released in December 2018, Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol starrer Dilwale was a big success in the overseas market, with surprising numbers coming in from Malaysia. Back then, it enjoyed a record-breaking response. After that, a couple of films from Kollywood (Jailer and Leo) had the potential to smash Dilwale’s numbers, but they failed to do so.

Ever since its inception, the Indian film industry has been obsessed with two kinds of criminals: gangsters, and those who are considered terrorists by the government. And while the threat they pose to society and human life is legitimate, in reality, it’s eclipsed by private organizations and government bodies that are in charge of the lifeline of our country. Movies such as Indian (the Kamal Haasan one), Sivaji: The Boss, Mersal, Gabbar Is Back, Sardar, and Jawan have tried to draw our attention to the fact that, with each passing day, doctors, medical experts, and the CEOs of pharmacy companies are killing more people than any mythical don or terrorist group ever can. While talking about the harmful effects of capitalism on small tribes and the little land they have in their possession, Kaala Paani shone a light on how dangerous the whole nexus between private and government bodies is.

AnalysisFrom north Indian characters celebrating Holi to directors adding Holi festivities in songs for the visual appeal, Tamil film songs have included the festival of colours over the last few decades, writes the author.Rajinikanth in a still from Pa Ranjith's KaalaThe iconic ‘Rang barse bheege chunarwali rang barse’ song from the Amitabh Bachchan starrer Silsila is usually on top of any playlist during Holi celebrations. Then there’s the ‘Holi ke din’ song from Sholay, which also rings loud on “Holi-Day”. And one cannot forget Gabbar Singh’s legendary “Holi kab hai?” line from the same film. Holi has been an integral part of Bollywood pop culture and vice versa. After a couple of years of muted celebrations due to Covid-19, Holi is back with verve and vengeance this year. In the south of India though, Holi is not a big festival. It is not a holiday even.

Exclusive: Viveik Kalra, star of Gurinder Chadha’s Sundance 2019 musical Blinded By The Light, has been set to co-star with Indian superstar Samantha Ruth Prabhu in cross-cultural rom-com Chennai Story.

In Chennai he encounters Anu (Ruth Prabhu), a street-smart private detective whom he hires to assist with his quest. More accustomed to fish and chips than authentic Masala Dosa, the frantic, colorful new world sweeps Nikhil off his feet, as does his undeniable chemistry with Anu which drives them closer together and on a collision course with her conservative parents.

Celebrating the glorious 75th Independence Day of India, producers Shailendra Kumar, Sujay Kuttiy, Krishna Kumar B and Suraj Sharma announced their much talked about magnum opus 1770, based on Bankim Chandra Chatterjee’s Bengali novel Anandamath. Produced under the banner of SS1 Entertainment and Pk Entertainment, this multilingual film will be helmed by acclaimed director Ashwin Gangaraju, who assisted S S Rajamouli in Eega and Baahubali (both series). He made his debut as director with critically acclaimed Aakashvani in 2021.

This year also marks 150 years of Vande Mataram, the song that appeared first in Bankim Chandra’s novel Anandamath, which almost shook the roots of the British Empire.

It was a mantra that was given by Maharishi Bankim Chandra for a Nation to unite against tyranny and injustice. In...

It's Zendaya's world, and we're all just living in it - she sings, she dances, she acts! With her recent roles in "Spider-Man: No Way Home," "Dune," and "Malcolm & Marie" - and, of course, her leading part on the HBO series "Euphoria" - Zendaya is *the* moment. In 2020, her incredible performance in "Euphoria" earned her her first-ever Emmy win for outstanding lead actress in a drama series, making her the youngest lead actress and the second-ever Black actress in Emmys history to receive the award.

Even prior to this supernova of a moment for the actress, you've probably seen Zendaya around for a while. Before her historic win, she graced the silver screen as the trapeze artist Anne in "The Greatest Showman" and played the decidedly chill, deadpanned version of Mj in "Spider-Man: Homecoming." But perhaps Zendaya's most recognizable accomplishments before her foray into dramatic feature parts were...
