Although annual top-grossing films are well-documented, many might not know which film topped each month. Here, Yousay presents this special report, revealing which films led the box office collections month by month from January to December.

From Child Artist to National Award Winner: Keerthy Suresh's Inspiring Journey in Cinema
Keerthy Suresh is one of those actresses who prioritizes acting over beauty. Belonging to the Tamil industry, she has also gained significant popularity in Telugu films. Her role as Savitri in the movie 'Mahanati' was phenomenal, earning her a National Award. However, her film career has seen many interesting twists and turns. Today (October 17), on the occasion of Keerthy Suresh's birthday, let's look into some special aspects of her life. As a Child Artist The daughter of actors Suresh Kumar and Menaka, Keerthy Suresh sparkled as a child artist in the Malayalam film 'Pilots'. She also appeared as a child artist in the films 'Achaneyanenikkishtam' and 'Kuberan'. Mother as Chiru’s Heroine.. Daughter as Sister In Chiranjeevi's film 'Punnami Naagu', Keerthy's mother Menaka acted as the heroine. Recently, in the movie 'Bhola Shankar', Keerthy played the significant role of Chiranjeevi's sister. Despite the film not doing well, their performances as siblings were well-received. During the shoot in Hyderabad, Chiranjeevi mentioned during movie promotions that he ensured home-cooked meals were sent to Keerthy throughout the filming. Stalled Projects at the Beginning Keerthy Suresh began her career as a heroine with the film 'Geethanjali', starring Malayalam superstar Mohanlal. However, even before this, she had signed three projects as a heroine, which had also started shooting. Unexpectedly, these three projects were halted midway, leading to great disappointment for her, as she mentioned in an interview. Tagged as Iron Leg Early in her career, the halting of three projects, and the failure of films like 'Geethanjali' and 'Ring Master' in Malayalam, and her first Tamil film 'Idhu Enna Maayam' being a disaster, Keerthy was tagged as an 'Iron Leg'. She faced significant trolling but ignored it and went on to succeed in films, establishing herself as a successful heroine. Turning Point with Mahanati Her first Telugu film 'Nenu Sailaja' was a success, which increased her opportunities in Tollywood and Kollywood. Despite being in commercial films, she felt unfulfilled as an actress until 'Mahanati' came along. Her portrayal of Savitri was critically acclaimed, earning her the National Award for Best Actress and becoming an inspiration to other actresses. Her career graph significantly rose after 'Mahanati'. Series of Failures Post-'Mahanati', it was believed that Keerthy's career would have no downturns, and she did receive a series of offers. However, subsequent films like 'Saamy Square', 'Pandem kodi 2', 'Rang De', and 'Annaatthe' failed to meet audience expectations. Her women-oriented films 'Penguin', 'Miss India', and 'Good Luck Sakhi' also failed to make an impact. Director's Intent to Cast Keerthy Following last year's release 'Dasara', which was a massive success, Keerthy made a strong comeback. Directed by Srikanth Odela with Nani as the hero, the film grossed over 100 crores and received widespread praise for Keerthy's performance. She excelled in the role of Vennela, a rural woman, and received awards like SIIMA and Filmfare for Best Actress. However, it was revealed during movie promotions that director Srikanth Odela initially planned to cast Keerthy as the heroine for 'Dasara' after narrating the movie story and suggested she gain 10-12 kilograms, which she couldn't. Nani mentioned that Odela decided to cast her despite her not being able to gain weight, highlighting that even though he was a debut director and she was a National Award-winning actress, they ended up becoming good friends on the movie sets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-PhzFEt9Wk Keerthy’s Special Talent Not just her face, Keerthy Suresh's voice is also beautiful. Directors have capitalized on her melodious voice, having her sing beautifully the song 'Pudhu Metro Rail' in 'Saamy Square'. She also recently lent her voice to the character of Bujji Vehicle in 'Kalki 2898 AD' and proved her dancing skills with the 'Gandhaari' album. This Year into Bollywood Having already entertained this year with 'Siren' and 'Raghu Thatha', Keerthy is busy with upcoming projects like 'Revolver Reeta', 'Kannivedi', and 'Uppu Kappurambu'. She is set to enter Bollywood with 'Baby John'. In an instance, she mentioned that the roles of Savitri (Mahanati), Vennela (Dasara), and Kalavathi (Sarkaru Vaari Paata) were challenging in her career.

One Hero Two Heroines: Old Trend in Tollywood is coming Back?
The Telugu film industry consistently leads in setting new trends. A resurgent trend in Tollywood features films with one hero and two heroines. While this concept is not new, as many Telugu films have previously followed this pattern, its popularity waned over time. However, after a significant hiatus, this trend is making a comeback, with several upcoming movies adopting this format. What are these films, and who are the heroines involved? We will delve into these details in this special report. Gayathri Bharadwaj - Prisha Rajesh Singh Allu Sirish stars in the upcoming film 'Buddy,' directed by Sham Anton. Scheduled for release on August 2, the film features two heroines: Gayathri Bharadwaj and Prisha Rajesh Singh. Both actresses have caught the audience's attention in the promotional materials for 'Buddy.' The film is produced under the banner of Studio Green Films by KE Gnanavel Raja and Adhana Gnanavel Raja. Malvika Malhotra - Mannara Chopra Raj Tarun stars in the latest film 'Thiragabadara Saami,' directed by A.S. Ravi Kumar. In this film, two heroines share the screen: main heroine Malvi Malhotra and Mannara Chopra, who appears in a special song. Meanwhile, Raj Tarun and Malvi Malhotra have been in the news recently. Raj Tarun's girlfriend, Lavanya, has filed a complaint alleging that he deceived her and has been romantically involved with Malvi Malhotra. Amid these controversies, there is heightened interest in 'Thiragabadara Saami.' Thanvi Akanksha - Seerat Kapoor The latest film 'Usha Parinayam,' directed by veteran director Vijay Bhaskar and starring his son Sree Kamal, is set to hit theaters on August 2. The film features two heroines: newcomer Thanvi Akanksha and established actress Seerat Kapoor, who will appear in a special song. Thanvi Akanksha makes her film debut, while Seerat Kapoor has been known for her roles in films like 'Run Raja Run,' 'Tiger,' 'Columbus,' 'Okka Kshanam,' and 'Touch Chesi Chudu.' Meenakshi Chaudhary - Shraddha Srinath Vishwak Sen stars in 'Mechanic Rocky,' directed by Raviteja Mullapudi and produced by Ram Talluri. The film, set against a love triangle concept, features Meenakshi Chaudhary and Shraddha Srinath as the female leads. Scheduled for release on October 31, 'Mechanic Rocky' has sparked curiosity among viewers. Meenakshi Chaudhary is already well-known from films like 'Ichata Vahanamulu Niluparadu,' 'Khiladi,' 'HIT 2: The Second Case,' and 'Guntur Kaaram.' Shraddha Srinath has also captured the Telugu audience's heart with her performances in 'Jersey' and 'Saindhav.' Tamannaah - Raashi Khanna The fourth installment in the 'Aranmanai' series, 'Baak,' was recently released in Telugu, directed by Sundar C. It stars Tamannaah Bhatia and Raashii Khanna, who together featured prominently in a song that became quite popular among fans. Despite being a horror film, 'Baak' failed to make a significant impact at the box office. Tamannaah - Keerthy Suresh Megastar Chiranjeevi's last film, 'Bhola Shankar,' also featured two heroines and was directed by Meher Ramesh. Tamannaah Bhatia and Keerthy Suresh played the lead roles, with Tamannaah as Chiru's love interest and Keerthy Suresh as his sister. Released on August 11 last year, the film failed to captivate the audience.
