【环球网报道 记者 李梓瑜】卡塔尔半岛电视台23日援引巴勒斯坦圣城新闻网等媒体消息报道，一段被曝光的视频画面显示，一名以色列定居者在约旦河西岸用棍棒残忍殴打一名巴勒斯坦老人。据悉，这名老人此前因遭以定居者枪击而失去了一条腿。    Rajinikanth’s Padayappa has pulled off a box office feat few could have predicted. The 1999 blockbuster, which returned to theatres as part of its 25 year anniversary celebrations, has crossed Rs 12 crore worldwide in its opening weekend, emerging as one of the highest grossing re-releases in Indian cinema.According to trade tracker Sacnilk, the film opened to an estimated Rs 4 crore worldwide on its first day. Instead of following the usual re-release pattern of sharp drops after day one, Padayappa showed steady growth across Saturday and Sunday, pushing its total weekend gross into double digits. Tamil Nadu led the charge, supported by strong collections from overseas markets with sizeable Tamil audiences.The numbers place Padayappa among the most successful re-releases in recent years, an achievement that underlines both Rajinikanth’s enduring star power and the film’s lasting connect with audiences.Nostalgia fuels a rare re-release runTrade analysts attribute the strong performance to a combination of nostalgia and theatrical appeal. Padayappa has long enjoyed repeated television telecasts and streaming viewership, yet the big screen experience appears to have drawn audiences in large numbers. Many theatres reported near full occupancy during evening and weekend shows, driven by fans revisiting a film that defined an era.     The film’s sustained run is particularly noteworthy because re-releases typically depend heavily on opening day curiosity. In this case, repeat footfalls and strong word of mouth helped Padayappa buck the trend. Younger viewers, who knew the film largely through pop culture references and social media clips, also turned up in significant numbers, contributing to the growing collections over the weekend.Originally released in 1999, Padayappa went on to become the highest grossing Tamil film of its time. Its re-release success reinforces its standing as one of Tamil cinema’s most influential commercial films.The legacy of Padayappa and NeelambariDirected by KS Ravikumar and produced by Rajinikanth under his Arunachala Cine Creations banner, Padayappa featured an ensemble cast that included Sivaji Ganesan, Soundarya, Ramya Krishnan, Radha Ravi, Nassar, Manivannan and Abbas. The film blended family drama with spectacle, anchored by Rajinikanth’s commanding performance.Ramya Krishnan’s portrayal of Neelambari remains a cultural milestone. The character’s pride, rage and emotional volatility continue to resonate, often cited among the most iconic antagonists in Indian cinema. Adding to the renewed interest around the film, Rajinikanth recently revealed that he has discussed the possibility of a sequel told from Neelambari’s perspective, exploring her belief that she was wronged and her desire for revenge.                AR Rahman’s soundtrack also remains a key element of the film’s appeal, with its songs continuing to receive thunderous responses during the re-release screenings.As Padayappa continues its victorious return, its box office performance stands as proof that some films do more than age gracefully. They reclaim the spotlight when given another chance on the big screen.Also Read: Padayappa Returns: Why Rajinikanth’s Titan of a Film Still Roars。
