Rima Kalingal Theatre poster at Cannes / Vijay Sethupathi Box Office Flop / Soori, Aishwarya Lekshmi film Hit, DD flop

 The trailer for the Rima Kallingal-starrer Theatre: The Myth of Reality, written and directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Sajin Baabu (biryani), was officially launched at the Cannes Film Festival 2025 – Marché du Film. The event took place in the presence of veteran Bollywood filmmaker Sudhir Mishra, who launched the trailer, and Indo-German Film Week Festival director Stephan Ottenbruch, who attended as chief guest. The launch saw the attendance of Malayalam filmmaker Dr Biju Damodaran, actors Prakash Bare and Chhaya Kadam, and several film professionals from India, Germany, China, and France.

Theatre centres on two women who believe their suffering stems from a curse. Set on Illikkal Island in Kerala, the film explores how myth and reality intersect within a secluded community. Rima and Sarasa Balussery play the lead roles, supported by an ensemble cast. Rima received the Kerala Film Critics Award for Best Actress for her performance. Speaking at the event, Sajin said, “It’s honestly a bit surreal to be here at the Cannes Film Festival. Just being part of this space where world cinema is celebrated with such love is an honour in itself.”

The Santhanam starrer Tamil horror-comedy Devil’s Double Next Level aka DD is slowly inching towards 20 crores albeit in a snail’s pace. The movie is also yet to recover its entire budget. Here is taking a look at the box office performance of the film on its 10th day. On its 10th day, the Santhanam starrer earned 65 lakhs. This was a drop of around 32% since the movie amassed 97 lakhs on its previous day. The total India net collection of the film now comes to 16.25 crore. Including the taxes, the gross collection of the film stands at 19.17 crore. DD Next Level is mounted at a budget of 20 crores. With its current India net collection of 16.25 crore, the film has managed to cover 81% of its budget. It will be interesting to see whether the film will cover its entire budget in the coming days.

Maaman is mounted on a budget of 10 crore at the box office and against the collection of 18.55 crore in 8 days, it has churned out a profit of 85.5% at the box office. The action film stands as the sixth most profitable Tamil film of 2025.

The Vijay Sethupathi starrer Tamil romantic-crime flick, Ace has been witnessing dismal performance at the box office. While it has managed to cross 4 crores within its 3 days, this is hardly an impressive score, given Sethupathi’s star power. Here is taking a look at the box office performance of the film on its 3rd day. On its third day, the movie saw a dip of around 12% and earned 1.42 crore. The total India net collection of Ace now stands at 4.04 crore. The film is now inching towards 5 crore but needs a more positive word of mouth to see a boost in the collection.
