102 Not Out takes off to a decent start at Indian box-office

Starring Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor in lead roles, 102 Not Out pulled in INR 3.52 crores on its opening day in India. The film, which brings the two veterans of Indian cinema together after a massive gap of 27 years, opened to outstanding reviews from critics. Though the figures it made on day one are just decent, the film is expected to earn even better over the weekend as the word of mouth has been very positive for it.

Helmed by Umesh Shukla, 102 Not Out sees Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor in the role of father and son. Big B plays a 102-year-old father who wants to send his 75-year-old son to an old age home, a character played brilliantly by Rishi Kapoor. The audience is in love with this adorable father-son duo.


As soon as the first-day collection of the movie arrived on Saturday morning, well-known film critic and trade analyst, Taran Adarsh tweeted from his handle, "Like most content-driven films aimed at families, #102NotOut started on a slow note, but gathered momentum from evening onwards... A HEALTHY GROWTH is on the cards on Sat and Sun... Word of mouth is SUPER-STRONG... Friday 3.52 cr. India biz."

102 Not Out hit screens on May 4.

'Thudarum' review round-up: Mohanlal returns to form in a dark, emotional ride that’s winning hearts

Director Tharun Moorthy’s Thudarum has drawn attention not just for its gripping storyline, but for bringing back the Mohanlal audiences have longed to see: an actor rooted in emotion rather than spectacle. With critics praising both the writing and performances, Thudarum has emerged as a memorable addition to Mohanlal’s long filmography, with reviewers calling it a return to form.

Across the board, reviewers highlight how the film presents Mohanlal as Shanmugham (nicknamed Benz), a humble taxi driver and former stuntman who now lives a quiet life in a Kerala village with his wife, played by Shobana, and two children. His prized possession is his old black Ambassador car, a gift from a mentor which becomes central to the plot when it’s unknowingly used, setting off a chain of devastating events.

In the past, each generation delivered a crop of newcomers who injected fresh energy into the industry. That pattern has stalled in recent years, with fewer young actors making a lasting impression. Into this space steps Sreeleela, a fast-rising actor from the South who has begun to attract serious attention in Hindi cinema.
