Allu Arjun visits injured boy at Hyderabad hospital
Hyderabad, Jan 7: Tollywood actor Allu Arjun on Tuesday visited KIMS Hospital, Secunderabad to meet the eight-year-old boy who was injured in the stampede during the premier show of ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’ at Sandhya Theatre last month.
Amid tight security by the police, the actor reached the hospital in the morning and spent about half an hour.
He was accompanied by Telangana State Film Development Corporation Chairman Dil Raju. The actor enquired from doctors about the condition of SriTej, met his father and assured him of all support.
Allu Arjun had planned to visit the hospital on January 5 after reporting at Chikkadpally Police Station as per the condition laid down by a city court while granting him regular bail. However, he had to drop his plans after Ramgopalpet Police Station issued a notice to him advising him to reconsider his visit. The police had advised Allu Arjun to maintain his confidentiality to prevent any gathering of public/media at the premises which could disturb the peaceful environs of the hospital.
The actor was warned that in case of a lack of cooperation from his side, he would be held solely responsible for any negative consequences of his visit to the hospital.
The police on January 6 issued another notice to him to keep his visit confidential so that public order could be maintained in and around the hospital. The police also offered to make necessary arrangements for his visit.
A woman, Revathi was killed and her son Sri Tej was critically injured in the stampede at the theatre on December 4 during the premier show attended by Allu Arjun.
The police had claimed that Allu Arjun visited the theatre without permission and conducted a ‘roadshow’ which led to the tragedy. Allu Arjun was arrested on December 13 in the case. He was granted interim bail by the High Court the same day.
Nampally Court last week granted the actor regular bail. The court directed him to cooperate with the investigation and report to the concerned police station every Sunday.
The actor had come under criticism from various quarters for not consoling the family of the deceased or visiting the injured boy at the hospital. The actor’s father and producer Allu Arvind visited the hospital twice. During his last visit on December 25, he presented a cheque of Rs 2 crore to the victim’s family. While Allu Arjun has given Rs 1 crore, Mythri Movies, the producers of the movie have extended assistance of Rs 50 lakh. The film’s director Sukumar has also given Rs 50 lakh to the family.

Thamma, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Box Office Collection Day 3: Bhai Dooj Holiday Fails To Give A Boost To Both Movies

Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna starrer Thamma and Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa starrer Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat clashed at the box office on Diwali. However, both films took a good start according to the genre and the screens they got. While Thamma collected Rs. 24 crore on its day one, EDKD collected Rs. 9 crore.
On its day two, as expected, both movies showed a drop, and now, on its day three which was a holiday (Bhai Dooj), the films have once again shown a drop in the collection.
According to Sacnilk, Thamma, on its third day, collected approximately Rs. 12.50 crore, and Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat collected approximately Rs. 6 crore. So, the Ayushmann-Rashmika starrer has collected Rs. 55.10 crore, and the Harshvardhan-Sonam starrer has collected Rs. 22.75 crore in three days.
Thamma is reportedly made on a budget of Rs. 140-145 crore. So, the film needs to show a huge jump at the box office over the weekend (Saturday and Sunday). If the collection further drops, then it won’t be a good sign for the movie.
Ek Deewani Ki Deewaniyat is reportedly made on a budget of Rs. 30 crore, so the film is in a safe zone. In the next couple of days, it will surpass its budget. But, to become a hit, the movie needs to continue to be steady at the box office in the coming days.
Meanwhile, on Friday, which is a working day, it expected that both movie will once again show a drop in collection. However, it will be interesting to see whether they will collect a good amount during the weekend or not.

Mumbai: A circulating online shows former Splitsvilla contestant and actress Khushi Mukherjee in a heated argument with firecracker vendors in the Lokhandwala area of Andheri West. The incident, which reportedly occurred during the Diwali season, shows the actress visibly agitated as she throws firecrackers onto the road and confronts the sellers after her car was allegedly hit by an autorickshaw while passing through the area.
In the viral video clip shared by local news portal, a blue Mercedes sedan, claimed to belong to Khushi, is seen parked on the side of the road as the confrontation unfolds. An irate Khushi can be heard saying, “Sabko Diwali manana hai, meri gadi thok ke chala gaya aur tumko yaha patakha bechna hai,” expressing her frustration over the autorickshaw driver fleeing after the collision. Amid the chaos, one of the vendors can be heard warning others, “Isko samjhaao, iska zyada ho raha hai, maar khaa ke jayega ab,” indicating the rising tension at the scene.
The further shows Khushi engaging in a heated exchange with a police officer present at the location. She is heard shouting, “Ye log jo karte hai wo chalta hai? Meri gadi thok ke gaya rickshaw wala. Apka 100 number nahi lagta hai. Meri gadi kyun thuki?” The officer can be seen trying to calm her down, but Khushi continues to throw firecrackers, further escalating the argument.
While the exact date of the incident remains unclear, the presence of shops selling Diwali firecrackers in the background suggests it happened recently. So far, there have been no reports of any formal complaint or legal action related to the altercation.
Khushi Mukherjee, 28, is a television actress and model who has worked across South Indian films, and digital platforms. She began her career with the Tamil film Anjal Thurai (2013) and later appeared in Telugu projects such as Donga Prema and Heart Attack, as well as the Hindi film Shringaar.

Thamma Box Office Collection Day 1: Ayushmann Khurrana & Rashmika Mandanna Starrer Takes A Bumper Opening

Thamma, starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna, was one of the most-awaited films of the year. The film received mixed reviews from critics and the audience, but it managed to take a bumper opening at the box office because of the Diwali festival.
According to Sacnilk, the film has collected approximately Rs. 24 crore, which is a very good number. Thamma has given Ayushmann his biggest opening till date. Meanwhile, Rashmika had bigger openings with films like Chhaava and Pushpa 2.
Now, it will be interesting to see how the film performs in the upcoming days. The holiday factor has worked in Thamma’s favour, but let’s see how much the movie will collect on regular working days, and during the upcoming weekend (Saturday, Sunday).
Thamma is a Maddock Horror Comedy Universe film, so the audience was excited to watch it as the makers had hinted that there are a few interesting cameos in the movie. However, many critics and audiences have stated that it is the weakest film in MHCU.
The Free Press Journal reviewer gave Thamma 2.5 stars and wrote, “With Stree and Stree 2 being blockbusters, one expected these films to pave the smooth entry for Thamma. Because of the film’s VFX and Diwali holidays, one can expect the film to do brisk business. But, eventually, the real test will start after the holidays.”
The next movie in Maddock Horror Comedy Universe is Shakti Shalini which stars Saiyaara fame Aneet Padda in the lead role. The announcement of the movie was attached with Thamma, and it has gone viral on social media.
The audience is quite excited for the upcoming movies like MHCU like Shakti Shalini, Bhediya 2, Stree 2, Chhoti Stree (animation), Munjhya 2, and others.
