Laalo Krishna Sada Sahaayate Creates History With Massive 5th Weekend: Becomes Biggest Gujarati Grosser of 2025

Mumbai, November 10 - Gujarati devotional drama Laalo Krishna Sada Sahaayate is wreaking havoc at the domestic box office. The movie is behaving like a sleeping giant which suddenly woke and is having carnage with never-before-seen numbers for a Gujarati title. Directed by Ankit Sakhiya, Laalo had an unbelievable 5th Sunday with a gross collection of around 8.50 crores. A day before, it minted a record 5+ crores gross, which is the first time a Gujarati film hit the mark, as no Gujarati film had ever grossed even 4 crores in a single day until this. Laalo had one of the biggest 5th Sundays ever at the Indian box office, not just for a Gujarati title. It was the number 1 movie this weekend (5th weekend) with a gross collection of approximately 16.50 crores, pushing the total collection to 32+ crores gross in 31 days. With this, it has become the highest-grossing Gujarati film of the year, and one of the highest of all time. Due to the non-availability of data, it is difficult to determine which is the biggest Gujarati grosser, but as per the unofficial numbers, Chaal Jeevi Laiye (2019) is the number 1 film with over 40 crores gross. Laalo, with the kind of momentum it has, is set to cross the current record-holder and become the biggest Gollywood blockbuster ever. It is hard to predict where Laalo will end its box office run, but with momentum by its side, it should cross the 50 crores mark easily and might go on to top 75 crores, which is unthinkable for a Gujarati film.

Supreme Court Warns Multiplexes Over Exorbitant Prices

New Delhi, November 4 - The Supreme Court of India has raised serious concerns over the exorbitant prices charged by multiplexes for food and beverages. Over the last many years, theatres have struggled to bring the audiences, and the unaffordable prices are one of the major reasons for it. On Monday, a bench of the apex court, comprising Justice Vikram Nath and Justice Sandeep Mehta, in an oral observation, said that exorbitant rates for tickets and food items at multiplexes could drive moviegoers away. They observed that the rates should be appropriately fixed so that people will come. According to Live Law, the apex court's observations came while hearing petitions by Multiplex Association of India against a recent Karnataka HC order to cap multiplex ticket prices at 200. The SC bench stayed the HC order, while issuing a notice on the petitions. Recently, the Karnataka Government passed an order that movie ticket prices in multiplexes shouldn't be more than Rs. 200. To challenge the order, the makers of Kantara Chapter 1 moved the high court, which stayed the order till further notice. The Karnataka HC had directed the multiplexes to keep auditable records of every ticket sold, both online and offline, so that refunds can be made if the multiplexes lose the case. The HC also ordered to maintain audit reports verified by a CA regularly, among other things. Stay tuned...
