Vaazha 2 Box Office: Hashir Starrer Becomes Fastest To Enter 100 Crore Club In Kerala

Kochi, April 18 - The Malayalam blockbuster Vaazha 2: Biopic of a Billion Bros continues its sensational theatrical run, despite the arrival of new releases, and achieved a historic milestone at the Kerala box office. The coming-of-age comedy drama, headlined by Hashir, has become the fastest film to enter the 100 crore club in Kerala, setting a new benchmark in the industry. The film crossed the 100 crore mark in just 16 days, surpassing previous record holders like Thudarum and Lokah Chapter One: Chandra.

What makes this success even more remarkable is the film's relatively fresh cast and content-driven appeal. With engaging storytelling, Vaazha 2 has managed to attract both youth and family audiences, turning it into a full-fledged blockbuster.

German Influencer LizLaz Reacts To Virat Kohli Liking Her Picture On Instagram

Mumabi, April 18 - A minor social media activity involving cricket legend Virat Kohli recently turned into a viral sensation after fans noticed that he had liked — and later unliked — an Instagram post of German influencer LizLaz. While the like disappeared quickly, screenshots had already spread across platforms, sparking widespread discussion and a flood of memes. The curiosity around the incident grew because Kohli does not follow LizLaz, and the interaction reportedly took place on an older post. As social media users dissected every detail, the moment quickly escalated beyond a simple "like," becoming one of the most talked-about online topics. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Breaking her silence, LizLaz responded with a calm and balanced perspective. She revealed that she was unaware of the like initially and only found out after receiving numerous messages. While she admitted feeling happy at first, she later said she felt "a bit sorry" for Kohli as the situation snowballed into an unnecessary controversy. "No, I felt a bit sorry for him, actually! I was so happy that he liked it, but then him unliking it, I felt a bit bad for him because I don't even know how it became such a big story. How did people notice, how did they make it news... that was probably not his intention behind it, but still I am grateful for it, and I appreciate the support from him", LizLaz said (via Hindustan Times). (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Interestingly, LizLaz is also a fan of Kohli and follows the Indian Premier League (IPL), particularly supporting the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. She has previously described Kohli as one of the most exciting players to watch, making the viral moment feel more like an unexpected fan interaction than anything serious. Funnily, Virat Kohli was in a similar situation last year, also when he accidentally liked one of the pictures of actress Avneet Kaur, and he later issued a clarification stating that it was non-intentional and happened due to the algorithm of Instagram. Ultimately, the episode highlights how even the smallest actions of global celebrities can become amplified in the digital age. Despite the noise, LizLaz’s composed reaction helped keep the situation light, turning what could have been a controversy into a fleeting and largely harmless viral moment.

Dhurandhar 2 Box Office: Ranveer Singh Starrer Beats Pushpa 2 To Become Third Highest-Grossing Indian Film Worldwide

Mumbai, April 18 - Ranveer Singh-fronted Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has climbed one more milestone at the global box office. The blockbuster has now surpassed the lifetime worldwide box office of Pushpa 2: The Rule to emerge as the third-highest-grossing Indian film of all time. It is produced by Jyoti Deshpande, Aditya Dhar and Lokesh Dhar under the banners of Jio Studios and B62 Studios. After a phenomenal theatrical run spanning weeks, Dhurandhar 2's worldwide gross has climbed to 1,742+ crore, overtaking Pushpa 2, which concluded its run at around 1,742 crore. The achievement comes on the back of sustained momentum in both domestic and overseas markets, after the monstrous opening week. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Strong Hold Across Markets The film has performed exceptionally well in India, where it has already crossed the 1,100 crore net mark, making it the highest-grossing Bollywood film in the country. Internationally too, Dhurandhar 2 has delivered outstanding numbers, contributing around 420 crores to the overall total. What makes this run even more remarkable is the film's consistency. Even in its later weeks, it has managed to draw audiences to theatres, aided by positive word-of-mouth and repeat viewership.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) A Landmark Moment For Bollywood The success of Dhurandhar 2 is being seen as a significant boost for Bollywood on the global stage. Not only has it outperformed several big-ticket releases, but it has also proven the massive overseas potential of Hindi cinema without depending heavily on select international territories. In fact, it is the highest-grossing Indian film overseas, if excluding China. The film's scale, mass appeal, conviction to tell the original story, and star power have all contributed to its historic run, with Ranveer Singh delivering one of the biggest successes of his career. While Dangal remains far ahead at the top, the next immediate target for Dhurandhar 2 is Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. With a gap of around 45 crore, the film still has an outside chance of climbing to the second position, depending on how long it can sustain its run in theatres.

Akshay Kumar's Top 5 Openers In Post-Pandemic Era: Bhooth Bangla Eyes Top Three

Mumbai, April 17 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar's Bhooth Bangla is looking at a good opening at the domestic box office amid growing interest among audiences. After the better-than-expected paid previews of 3.50+ crores net, the horror comedy is seeing a good turnaround on its first full-fledged release day. Bhooth Bangla Eyes 15 Crore Net Opening (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Directed by Priyadarshan, the horror-comedy is looking to score around 12 crores net on its pure opening day, which is a good result. Akshay's last film, Jolly LLB 3, opened to 12.50 crores net, but that was a franchise movie, and here, Bhooth Bangla is the original title, and that makes the opening look even better on paper. Including the paid previews, the film should be able to post 15+ crores net opening day, and with initial word of mouth seems to be positive, this sets the movie up for a good first weekend at the domestic box office. Jolly LLB 3 delivered 53.50 crores net opening weekend, and the latest horror comedy will be aiming to clock around it.

Ranbir Kapoor's Upcoming Films and Release Timeline (Updated)

Mumbai, April 17 - Bollywood superstar Ranbir Kapoor is currently going through what industry experts call the "Golden Phase" of his career. Following the historic box office success of Animal (2023), the actor has strategically chosen a lineup that balances grandeur with gritty action and high-concept drama. While it may have been over 2 years since Ranbir has had a release after Animal, the next few years will probably see at least one film of the actor hitting the big screens. Here is a deep dive into Ranbir Kapoor's films that will define Indian cinema over the next three years. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 1. Ramayana Parts 1 & 2 Director Nitesh Tiwari is currently helming what is arguably the most ambitious project in Indian cinematic history. Ranbir Kapoor steps into the role of Lord Ram, a performance that reportedly required months of physical transformation and vocal training, which is reflected in the first look teaser, though it doesn't have any dialogue. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The scale of this production is unprecedented, and the makers gave a glimpse of that by launching the first look teaser recently, after earlier showing the vision. The ensemble cast is equally legendary, featuring Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, and Sunny Deol as Hanuman. Part 1 is scheduled for a grand Diwali 2026 release, with Part 2 following exactly a year later. 2. Love & War (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In a massive casting coup, filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali has reunited Ranbir Kapoor with Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal for a period romantic war drama, Love & War. This marks Ranbir's first collaboration with Bhansali since his debut in Saawariya (2007). Unlike Bhansali’s recent period pieces, this film is described as a "contemporary war-backed romance." With a release date locked for January 21, 2027, after being postponed multiple times, the film is expected to dominate the Republic Day holiday window with its blend of intense emotion and visual splendour. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 3. Animal Park Sandeep Reddy Vanga's action thriller Animal was a polarising juggernaut, and its sequel, Animal Park, is already one of the most searched upcoming titles. Ranbir will expand his role, playing both the protagonist Ranvijay and the menacing antagonist Aziz. The script is currently being finalised, with filming expected to commence once Vanga completes his project Spirit with superstar Prabhas. Fans should expect an even darker, more visceral exploration of the family's violent legacy sometime in late 2028. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 4. Dhoom 4 Perhaps the most surprising addition to his roster is the reboot of the Dhoom franchise. While there is no official confirmation yet, Ranbir is set to take over the mantle of the sophisticated "anti-hero" in Dhoom 4. The film aims to modernise the heist-action genre for a global audience. The shooting timeline is yet unknown, but if all goes well, the film may hit the big screens in 2028. 5. Brahmāstra: Part Two – Dev (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Amid the uncertainty over its future, Ramayana producer Nitesh Tiwari recently confirmed that he will take care of Brahmastra 2 after Ramayana. The first film was produced by Dharma Productions and Star Studios. Except for the fact that the movie is on, there is no concrete development in it yet. Director Ayan Mukerji is currently busy with scripting, and if things go as planned, the movie might go on floors next year for a 2028 or 2029 release.

"Something's coming, something we may not be able to deter," said Patrick Stewart's Professor Xavier. (according to Deadline).

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Revisiting the Finale: Avengers: Endgame Returns As was already announced, Disney announced a global theatrical re-release of Avengers: Endgame starting September 25, 2026. This is not a standard encore; the studio is calling it the "Infinity Vision" cut. This version will feature never-before-seen footage integrated into the film, reportedly providing more context on the "five-year gap" and the Multiversal consequences that lead directly into the events of the upcoming Avengers films. The news comes as part of the announcement of Infinity Vision, a new certification for premium large format (PLF) theatres. Disney said that Infinity Vision will "signify to audiences which auditoriums offer the biggest, brightest, and most immersive cinematic experiences." The focus is on the largest screens for maximum scale, laser projection for superior brightness and clarity, and premium audio formats for fully immersive sound. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Back to the Danger Zone: Top Gun 3 Confirmed Not to be outdone, Paramount Pictures closed its presentation with the news fans have been waiting for since 2022 - Top Gun 3 is officially cleared for takeoff. While Maverick was once thought to be a perfect swan song, producer Jerry Bruckheimer confirmed that a script is currently in development that finds a "necessary and high-stakes" reason for Tom Cruise's Pete Mitchell to return to the cockpit.

Bhooth Bangla Paid Previews Box Office: Akshay Kumar Starrer Opens Better Than Expected With 3.50 Crore Net

Mumbai, April 16 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar-fronted much-awaited horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla has kicked off its box office journey on a promising note. The film recorded an impressive performance in its paid preview shows, surpassing early expectations and setting a positive tone ahead of its full-fledged release. Bhooth Bangla Opens To 3.50 Crore Net In Paid Previews (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to early estimates, Priyadarshan's directorial has collected approximately 3.50-3.75 crore net from its paid previews across India. The trade was anticipating 2.50-3 crore net in previews, but the film has clearly surpassed the expectations due to positive reception buzz and early critics' reactions. This figure is considered good for a non-holiday release, especially in the horror-comedy genre, which typically relies heavily on word-of-mouth and audience reception. The film's advance momentum was visible in key urban centres, with solid response in spot bookings which normally don't happen in previews. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The good start at the box office shows that the movie has been able to make a positive impact, and that should help it going forward. The combination of horror elements with comedy, something Akshay Kumar has successfully explored in past ventures, appears to have intrigued audiences, contributing to the encouraging initial turnout. Solid Opening Day On The Cards The response to paid previews suggests that Bhooth Bangla will be going into the full-fledged opening day with a lot more buzz and awareness. Initially, it looked like the movie would open in Jolly LLB 3's opening range (12.50 crores), but now, a 15+ crore net opening day, including previews, is well within reach, which is a healthy sign. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Depending on the spot, bookings remain good, and the opening of Bhooth Bangla may go further, which needs to be seen. If the general audience reception aligns with the critics' reviews, Bhooth Bangla could be in for a very good run at the box office.

Bhooth Bangla Opening Day Box Office Expectations: Akshay Kumar Starrer Heads To Open On Par With Jolly LLB 3

Mumbai, April 16 - One of the most iconic actor-director combos of Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan reunite after 16 years for the horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla, which begins its theatrical rollout with paid previews on April 16 from 9 PM, before the full-fledged release on April 17. The duo of Akshay and Priyadarshan has delivered some of the cult comedies, and the expectations are high for Bhooth Bangla. Trade is positive about the film's box office outcome, while being cautious about not overestimating the film's box office potential. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The advance booking of Bhooth Bangla opened 4 days before the release. While there was no initial rush in booking tickets, the pre-sales for the film are seeing some momentum going into the last day before the full-fledged release. As of 3 PM on April 16, the film has grossed 5.50+ crores (with block seats) for the opening day, including around 2 crores from the premiere alone. The pre-sales trend of Bhooth Bangla, although it is not strong to the level of expectations, is decent enough to keep the film on track for a double-digit start. As per trade estimates and booking trends, the film is heading towards opening in the range of Akshay's last film, Jolly LLB 3. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The courtroom comedy, which was released last year, opened to 12.50 crores net from 6+ crore gross pre-sales. Bhooth Bangla will be finishing with 7+ crore gross in advance sales, including the premiere. Plus, the horror-comedy genre is an advantage for Priyadarshan's directorial, which is expected to take the opening of 12-15 crores net, including paid previews. Initially, trade was anticipating 20 crore net start, but the mixed reception to its trailer and songs affected the pre-release buzz. However, on a positive side, the opening of 12-15 crores net will be a decent result compared to what it might have been had it been released a week earlier, as initially planned. The makers took a wise decision to move the release by a week to keep enough gap with Dhurandhar 2, which has been dominating the box office since its release on March 19.

Salman Khan's Maatrubhumi To Skip Theatres For OTT? Here's The Truth Behind The Rumours

Mumbai, April 16 - Rumours have been circulating that superstar Salman Khan's much-anticipated film Maatrubhumi, which was originally titled Battle of Galwan, might opt for a direct OTT release. The speculation gained traction after reports of delays and production-related hurdles began surfacing online, raising concerns about the film's theatrical prospects. However, the latest developments suggest that these reports are largely unfounded. According to Bollywood Hungama, Maatrubhumi is still intended for a theatrical release, and there are currently no plans to premiere the film directly on any digital platform. The makers, along with Salman Khan, are said to be keen on bringing the film to the big screen, despite the challenges. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The rumours initially picked up pace due to multiple delays in the film's schedule. Reports indicate that Maatrubhumi has undergone reshoots and faced certain clearance-related challenges, which slowed down its progress. Given the scale of the project and its sensitive theme, these delays were interpreted by some as a sign of a possible shift to OTT. Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, Maatrubhumi is a war drama inspired by real-life events, making it a film designed for a grand cinematic experience. This is one of the key reasons why the makers are not considering bypassing theatres altogether. As of now, the film's release date remains uncertain, with an official announcement expected once production formalities are fully completed. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Despite the ongoing speculation, Maatrubhumi is being positioned as a big-screen spectacle rather than a direct-to-digital release. While the OTT rumours created a buzz among fans, they don't reflect the current plan. Salman Khan's Maatrubhumi is still on track for a theatrical release, and audiences may have to wait a bit longer to witness it on the big screen.
