Now, according to the latest report by Bollywood Hungama, Dharma Productions has reportedly secured the theatrical distribution rights for 350 crore, making it the biggest distribution deal in Bollywood history.

The Dhamaal franchise has built a legendary reputation for delivering high-octane laughter, and the upcoming fourth installment is currently one of the most anticipated releases of 2026. After several shifts in the release schedule to find the perfect window, the makers have finally settled on a release date of July 10. The anticipation is visible on platforms like BookMyShow, where over 125K people have already marked their interest in the film, making it one of the most tracked Indian movies of the year on IMDb. Looking at the initial advance booking reports, the film is starting to gain momentum across the country. For the first day, Dhamaal 4 has recorded an all-India gross of 33.79 Lac. When we include block seats, this figure jumps to a much more substantial 1.61 Cr. So far, the film has sold roughly 13,475 tickets for its opening day across 3,698 shows. While the real occupancy currently sits at 1 percent, these are early numbers and the pace is expected to pick up significantly as the release day approaches. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Maharashtra is currently leading the charts among states, with a gross of 8.48 Lac and a total including block seats of 36.12 Lac from 912 shows. Delhi follows closely with a gross of 6.72 Lac, reaching 36.46 Lac with block seats. In terms of major regions, the National Capital Region (NCR) and Mumbai are the primary drivers, contributing 6.72 Lac and 6.57 Lac respectively to the opening day tally. Other markets like Gujarat and Rajasthan are also contributing, with Gujarat showing a gross with block seats of 19.59 Lac from 700 shows and Rajasthan recording 11.1 Lac with block seats. The pressure on this fourth installment is high because the franchise has a perfect track record at the box office. The original Dhamaal was a Hit with an India net collection of 33.06 Cr and a worldwide gross of 51.30 Cr. Double Dhamaal followed that success with 44.10 Cr net and 71.00 Cr worldwide gross, also earning a Hit verdict. The stakes were raised significantly with Total Dhamaal, which collected a massive 155.67 Cr net in India and a worldwide gross of 232.18 Cr, making it a Superhit. With all three previous films being successful, the industry is watching closely to see if Dhamaal 4 can maintain this 100 percent success rate.

Ajay Devgn returns as a quirky IRS officer, leading the veteran ensemble of Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, Jaaved Jaaferi, and Sanjay Mishra. Interestingly, the film is moving away from the franchise tradition of having no female leads. After Madhuri Dixit joined the third part, Dhamaal 4 features a larger female cast including Sanjeeda Shaikh, Esha Gupta, and Anjali Anand. Ravi Kishan also joins the chaos as a quirky pirate. The technical aspects of the film are also set for a smooth release. The Censor Board has granted a U/A 13+ certificate with a runtime of 2 hours and 23 minutes. While no scenes were cut, minor modifications were made to certain hand gestures and vocabulary to keep it family-friendly. On the music front, the soundtrack is already generating buzz. Songs like Chatni, which is a recreation of the popular track originally by Mamta Sharma, and Guru Randhawa's energetic track Qeher are trending heavily, adding to the overall excitement for the film's theatrical debut on July 10.

Alpha has been the subject of intense discussion since its release, carrying the weight of massive expectations as a major 2026 tentpole. The film arrived with significant buzz, fueled by its franchise power and high-scale production, though the initial audience reaction has been a bit of a mixed bag. While some are praising the technical finesse, others remain skeptical about the narrative depth, leading to a polarizing word of mouth that is now playing out in the daily box office trends. After a noticeable crash on its first Monday, which is often a testing point for any big release, the film has managed a surprising recovery on Day 5. Alpha collected a net of ₹4.25 Cr this Tuesday, marking a 10.4% growth compared to Monday net of ₹3.85 Cr. This uptick is largely attributed to the Discount Tuesday phenomenon, where lower ticket prices across major chains helped pull in the crowds that stayed away during the Monday slump. It is a logical trend in the current market where price sensitivity often dictates weekday footfalls. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Looking at the domestic performance, the film has now reached a total India net collection of ₹42.10 Cr. When we factor in taxes, the India gross stands at ₹50.23 Cr. These numbers have been achieved across 36,025 shows in total, with 7,173 shows running on Day 5 alone. The ticket booking platform BookMyShow reflects this Tuesday surge clearly, with 82.92K tickets sold on Tuesday compared to 73.52K on Monday. This brings the total tickets sold on the platform to approximately 764.97K so far. A closer look at the national chains including PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis provides more context. For the day, these major chains sold roughly 46,000 tickets, resulting in a gross of approximately ₹71 Lakhs. The average occupancy across these platforms stood at about 7.6% from nearly 2,890 shows. Regionally, the National Capital Region (NCR) continues to be the strongest performer with a healthy 30.3% occupancy, while Mumbai and Pune followed with 18.8% and 18.0% respectively. Markets like Ahmedabad and Surat are trailing slightly lower, highlighting a clear urban-skew in the film's appeal. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) On the international front, based on early estimates, Alpha added ₹1.50 Cr on its fifth day, pushing the total overseas gross to ₹19.80 Cr. In North America specifically, the film benefited from the Tuesday discounts, earning $95K (approx ₹79 Lakhs) by 7pm PST from 394 locations. This follows a Monday gross of $55K (approx ₹46 Lakhs), bringing the total North American tally to $630K (approx ₹5.26 Cr). Combining these figures, the worldwide gross collection is estimated to be around ₹70.03 Cr at this stage. The road ahead for Alpha is undeniably challenging. While the Tuesday growth provides a temporary breather, the film needs to maintain this momentum to recover its heavy costs. The competition is stiff, with holdover releases like Welcome to the Jungle and Main Vaapas Aunga still occupying significant screen space. The real test arrives on July 10 with the release of Dhamaal 4. This new entry will trigger a severe screen crunch, making the task of allotting shows a tedious one for exhibitors. Without a completely one-sided positive word of mouth, Alpha might find its breathing window further squeezed, making the upcoming second weekend a do-or-die situation for its lifetime box office prospects.

Mumbai, July 7 - The Central Government has responded to the controversy surrounding the removal of Diljit Dosanjh's Satluj from ZEE5, stating that the decision was taken in view of national security concerns and issues related to the film's certification process (as per ANI).

The landscape of Indian cinema is preparing for what could be its most monumental theatrical event yet. Nitesh Tiwari's mythological epic, Ramayana, has remained a constant subject of fascination since its announcement. In a significant development for the film's domestic prospects, Variety India has exclusively reported that Karan Johar's Dharma Productions has officially secured the Indian distribution rights for this ambitious project. The deal comes after a rigorous selection process by producer Namit Malhotra, the CEO of DNEG and Founder of Prime Focus. To find the right partner for a project of this scale, Malhotra reportedly showcased an edited 30-minute footage of the film to several major studios. The visual spectacle and craftsmanship shown in this sneak peek reportedly left Dharma Productions impressed, leading to deep negotiations. While initial discussions for the distribution rights were said to have started at a staggering ₹500 crore, the deal was eventually finalized at ₹250 crore. This partnership ensures that the film will benefit from Dharma’s extensive reach and marketing expertise across the Indian market. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) While Dharma Productions handles the domestic front, the film's global footprint is equally impressive. Warner Bros. Pictures has been brought on board to distribute the first installment overseas, marking a rare collaboration between a major Hollywood studio and an Indian mythological epic for a Diwali release. This dual distribution strategy highlights the producer's vision to position Ramayana not just as a national event, but as a global cinematic milestone. The project boasts one of the most high-profile pan-India ensembles ever assembled. Ranbir Kapoor leads the cast as Lord Rama, with Sai Pallavi portraying Goddess Sita and Yash taking on the role of the formidable Ravana. The supporting cast is equally star-studded, featuring Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman and Ravie Dubey as Lakshman. The wider cast includes industry veterans and popular stars like Lara Dutta as Kaikeyi, Rakul Preet Singh as Surpanakha, and Arun Govil—who famously played Rama in the original television series—now appearing as King Dashrath. The scale of the production is further elevated by its musical score, which is a historic collaboration between Hollywood maestro Hans Zimmer and the legendary AR Rahman. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, known for his work on Dangal and Chhichhore, the film is set to be released in two parts. By focusing on a character-driven narrative supported by world-class visual effects from DNEG, the production aims to bring a fresh yet faithful perspective to the timeless epic. With the distribution partners now locked in both locally and internationally, the path is clear for Ramayana to dominate the theatrical space when it arrives this Diwali.
