'Shehzada' And 'Ant-Man 3' Opening Day/First Friday Early Estimates

Mumbai, February 17 - Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon's Shehzada is heading towards a decent opening day at the box office. As per the early estimates, the action comedy has scored around 7 crores net which might go a little higher depending on the night shows.





Directed by Rohit Dhawan, Shezada had low pre-sales, however, the spot booking was reasonably better which saves the day for the film. Plus, a holiday on Saturday in the form of Mahashivratri also ensures better night shows. The word of mouth is mixed for the film.





The advance booking for tomorrow is a little better than the opening day, however, there isn't much growth which could mean a decent opening weekend. The 3-day weekend collection is eyeing 27 crores (+/-) which wasn't even looking anywhere near considering the pre-sales.





Meanwhile, Marvel Studios' Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania too couldn't get going, though it scored higher than Shehzada. As per the early estimates, the superhero movie scored 9-10 crores net with mixed word of mouth. It is the second-lowest start for a Marvel title in India post the covid-19 pandemic, just ahead of Eternals which opened to 7.34 crores net.





Stay tuned...

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, May 5 - In what could turn out to be one of Bollywood's most exciting reunions, Kareena Kapoor Khan is reportedly in advanced talks to star opposite Salman Khan in an upcoming superhero film directed by Raj & DK. The film, produced by Atul Agnihotri and Mythri Movie Makers, marks Salman Khan's first full-fledged entry into the superhero genre, making it a highly anticipated project. According to Variety India's report, Kareena has emerged as the frontrunner for the female lead, with discussions at an advanced stage. This project will reunite Salman and Kareena after more than a decade. The duo was last seen together in the blockbuster Bajrangi Bhaijaan, and has previously shared screen space in films like Bodyguard, Main Aur Mrs Khanna, and Kyon Ki.... Their on-screen chemistry has always been a fan favourite, making this potential comeback even more exciting. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) What We Know About The Film While the official announcement of the film is yet to be made, the yet-untitled project is being described as a high-concept superhero action entertainer, blending Raj & DK's signature storytelling style with Salman Khan's mass appeal. The project has already generated massive buzz, bringing together one of Bollywood's biggest stars with the creators of acclaimed shows like The Family Man. The film will present Salman Khan in a never-seen-before avatar as he steps into the role of an ageing superhero, who's drawn back into action by circumstances beyond his control, eventually leading him into a larger conflict. Interestingly, Kareena wasn't the initial choice for the role. Earlier, reports suggested that Samantha Ruth Prabhu was being considered, but Kareena has now taken the lead in the casting race. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Shoot Timeline Revealed As per the report, the film is expected to go on floors around October–November 2026, once Salman Khan wraps up his current commitments. The makers are reportedly eyeing a 2027 theatrical release, positioning it as a major tentpole project. A Salman–Kareena pairing has historically delivered both commercial success and strong audience recall. Bringing them together in a superhero film, combined with Raj & DK's fresh creative vision, could result in something truly unique for Hindi cinema.

In India, Bhooth Bangla has minted approximately 171.30 crores gross (144.25 crore net), while overseas collection stands at an estimated 56.50 crores so far. This achievement underlines the film's steady performance not just in India, but also in overseas markets where it has found a consistent audience. Akshay Kumar's box office journey in the post-pandemic era has seen its share of ups and downs, but the superstar continues to deliver notable performances at the global box office, including Bhooth Bangla, which has emerged as a strong success story.

Dhurandhar 2 Day 47 box office: Collection drops by 62% to slip below the 1 crore mark for the first time

BY SACNILK

Dhurandhar 2 has finally seen a significant shift in its box office trajectory after an incredible run. For the first time in 47 days, the daily collection has slipped below the 1 crore mark. It managed to earn 0.50 crore net on its seventh Monday, ending a streak of consistency that is rarely seen in Indian cinema. This marks the first time since its release that the film has failed to hit the seven-figure mark daily, which is quite an achievement considering it has been playing for nearly seven weeks. On Day 47, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge earned a net of 0.50 crore across its 753 remaining shows. This figure saw a drop of about 61.8 percent compared to Sunday's collection of 1.31 crore, which is a typical trend for a seventh Monday in theaters. With this addition, the total India net collection has reached 1,139.10 crore, while the domestic gross stands at 1,363.37 crore. The film also added another 0.15 crore from international markets on Monday, taking the total overseas gross to 426.15 crore. This pushes the overall worldwide gross collection to 1,789.52 crore so far, bringing it closer to yet another global milestone. The primary reason for this dip is the sudden change in screen allocation following the arrival of several new releases on May 1st. While the film was consistently playing on over 1,000 shows across the country during its previous weeks, that number has seen a sharp decline over the seventh weekend. On Friday, the show count stood at 851, which then shifted to 747 on Saturday and 719 on Sunday. By Monday, it was operating on 753 shows. This reduction happened because the multiplex inventory is now shared with fresh titles like the Marathi epic Raja Shivaji, the Hollywood sequel The Devil Wears Prada 2, and others like Patriot and Kara. These new movies have captured a significant portion of the screens, leaving fewer slots for holdover movies and directly affecting the daily net. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) A closer look at the national chains shows how the film is performing in the premium segments. Across PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, it managed to sell roughly 4,420 tickets on Monday, contributing around 12 lakh to the daily gross. This was achieved across a combined 479 shows. Breaking it down further, PVR accounted for approximately 2,450 tickets from 231 shows, while INOX added about 1,430 tickets across 165 shows. Cinepolis rounded off the tally with nearly 540 tickets from its 83 shows. Despite the heavy competition from new releases, maintaining these 479 shows after seven weeks in the national chains is a clear indicator of the movie's sustained demand. When looking at ticket sales on BookMyShow, the impact of these new releases becomes even more evident. The seventh weekend was still relatively healthy, with 27.09K tickets sold on Friday and 21.22K on Sunday. But with fewer shows and the typical Monday drop, the sales fell to 12.84K tickets. When you combine this with the competition from existing holdovers like Bhooth Bangla and Michael, it is clear that the screening space is now shared among many players, leaving less room for Dhurandhar 2 to maintain its previous high-volume momentum. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Despite the daily drop, the overall journey of the film remains one of the most successful in history. From a massive first week to its current standing, the film has managed to cross the 1,100 crore mark comfortably. To see how the film has progressed over the last seven weeks, we can look at the weekly net collection breakdown in India: Week 1 Collection: ₹674.17 Cr Week 2 Collection: ₹263.65 Cr Week 3 Collection: ₹110.60 Cr Week 4 Collection: ₹54.70 Cr Week 5 Collection: ₹19.52 Cr Week 6 Collection: ₹12.45 Cr 7th Friday (Day 44): ₹1.05 Cr 7th Saturday (Day 45): ₹1.15 Cr 7th Sunday (Day 46): ₹1.31 Cr 7th Monday (Day 47): ₹0.50 Cr Looking ahead, the Hindi version remains the primary contributor, bringing in 0.49 crore of the total 0.50 crore Monday collection. The Telugu version contributed about 0.01 crore from a very limited 24 shows. While daily numbers might stay below the 1 crore mark from here on, the movie has already achieved a monumental status in Indian cinema history. It has set a standard for sequels that few films can match, maintaining interest across seven long weeks. With a worldwide gross of 1,789.52 crore, Dhurandhar 2 has officially become the second highest-grossing Indian film of all time. It has managed to surpass the massive lifetime global collection of Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, leaving it only behind Aamir Khan starrer Dangal on the all-time charts. Having secured a total India net of 1,139.10 crore, the focus now remains on how much further it can push its global tally before its historic theatrical run finally comes to an end.

Mumbai, May 4 - The much-awaited sequel to 3 Idiots is gaining serious momentum, and the latest update has only heightened excitement among fans. If reports are to be believed, Vicky Kaushal has emerged as the front-runner to play the fourth idiot in the upcoming film. The sequel is expected to reunite the original trio - Aamir Khan, R. Madhavan, and Sharman Joshi - continuing the legacy of one of Bollywood's most iconic films. According to Pinkvilla, Vicky Kaushal is in advanced discussions and has shown a strong interest in the script. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The actor is said to be excited about collaborating once again with Rajkumar Hirani after working with him on films like Sanju and Dunki. If finalised, Kaushal's character will mark a significant addition to the franchise, expanding the story beyond the original trio. As said, the 3 Idiots sequel will bring back the beloved characters that made the original film a cultural phenomenon. Aamir Khan has already confirmed that the film is in the works and hinted that the story will be set 10 years after the first film, retaining the original's humour while exploring a new and unusual direction. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Released in 2009, 3 Idiots was not just a box office blockbuster but also a socially impactful film that resonated deeply with audiences for its take on India's education system with a lot of heart and humour. The sequel aims to build on that legacy while introducing new elements and characters. While the film is still in the scripting stage, reports suggest that the makers are carefully crafting a story that justifies the addition of a fourth lead rather than simply extending the original narrative. The team is taking its time to write the screenplay that lives up to the legacy of 3 Idiots, with the second instalment expected to go on floors in the second half of 2027.

Kiara Advani Shuts Down Toxic Rumours: Here Is What The Issue Was

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, May 4 - Bollywood actress Kiara Advani recently found herself at the centre of viral speculation surrounding her upcoming film Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups. Reports began circulating that she was uncomfortable with certain bold and intimate scenes in the film, which features Yash in the lead role. The rumours further claimed that the actress had asked the makers to tone down or remove some of these sequences. In some versions of the story, it was even suggested that she had concerns after watching parts of the film and wanted changes before release. With the film already generating strong buzz, these claims quickly spread across social media. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Kiara Advani Reacts Putting an end to the speculation, Kiara Advani responded strongly and dismissed all such reports. The actress termed the claims "absolute nonsense," making it clear that there is no truth to the rumours. Her clarification confirms that she has not requested any cuts or modifications in the film and that the reports doing the rounds are entirely baseless. Despite the noise online, there is essentially no issue between the actress and the makers of Toxic. The entire situation appears to have been driven by unverified gossip that escalated without any official confirmation. Given the scale and anticipation surrounding Toxic, such rumours gained traction quickly, but Kiara's response has now brought clarity to the situation. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) What's Next For Toxic? Directed by Geetu Mohandas, the film is one of the most awaited projects and stars Yash in a lead role. It is expected to explore darker themes and present a unique cinematic experience. The film was scheduled to release on June 4, but the makers have pushed the film further after feedback from the international media. With the rumours now firmly addressed, the focus is likely to shift back to the film’s progress and eventual release rather than off-screen speculation.

BY SACNILK

Bhooth Bangla has wrapped up its third weekend on a positive note, showing that the horror-comedy genre continues to be a favorite among Indian cinema-goers. After 17 days of its theatrical run, the film has reached a total India net collection of 142.50 crore. What is interesting to note is how the film has managed to stay relevant even in its third week, maintaining a steady pace against competing titles. By the end of the third weekend, the worldwide gross collection has officially pushed past the 225 crore mark, standing at 225.52 crore. Looking at the day-wise breakdown, the third Friday or day 15 started the weekend with a strong 28.6 percent growth from the previous day. It collected 4.50 crore net across 4,807 shows. This performance placed the film at the 24th position for the highest day 15 collections within its genre. To give you some context, Stree 2 currently holds the 7th position for the same timeline. It is quite a feat for Bhooth Bangla to remain in the top 50 list for this specific genre, showing its consistent appeal. On day 16, which was the third Saturday, the film saw a marginal dip of 3.3 percent with a collection of 4.35 crore. While the numbers cooled slightly, the film still maintained its 44th position in the all-time day 16 rankings for this genre. In the international markets, the film earned 1.50 crore on Saturday. Specifically in North America, as per data from Venky BoxOffice, the film grossed 45 thousand dollars on Saturday, bringing its total in that region to 2.14 million dollars. This follows a Friday gross of 27 thousand dollars where the total stood at 2.09 million dollars. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Sunday brought back the momentum as expected, with day 17 collections reaching 5.50 crore net. This represents a healthy 26.4 percent growth compared to Saturday. The film operated across 4,249 shows on Sunday and secured the 43rd spot for the highest day 17 collections in the horror-comedy category. It is worth noting that both Bhooth Bangla and Stree 2 have managed to stay within the top 50 rankings for all three days of this weekend, emphasizing the sustained interest in these types of films.

Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge continues its remarkable run at the box office, demonstrating incredible staying power as it wrapped up its seventh weekend. The film has maintained a steady stream of collections, proving that audience interest remains high even after 47 days in theaters. Let's break down the numbers from its seventh weekend to see how it performed. The weekend kicked off on its 44th day (7th Friday) with a collection of ₹1.05 Cr. This marked a minor and expected drop of 8.7% from the previous day's collection of ₹1.15 Cr. For a film this deep into its theatrical run, a collection over the one crore mark on a weekday is a significant achievement. As is typical, Saturday saw a healthy jump. On its 45th day, the film collected ₹1.15 Cr, representing a 9.5% growth from Friday. This uptick indicated that the family and weekend audiences were still turning up. The film's overseas performance on Day 45 also contributed, adding ₹0.35 Cr to its international tally. The momentum continued into Sunday, its 46th day. The film saw another positive surge, collecting ₹1.25 Cr. This represents an 8.7% growth from Saturday's figures, capping off a successful weekend. The total collection for the 7th weekend stands at an impressive ₹3.45 Cr. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) After 47 days of its theatrical run, the numbers for Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge are nothing short of monumental. The total India net collection has reached a massive ₹1,138.54 Cr, with the India gross standing at ₹1,362.61 Cr. When combined with its impressive overseas gross of ₹425.75 Cr, the film's total worldwide gross collection has been pushed to a phenomenal ₹1,788.36 Cr. This cumulative figure marks a historic milestone for Indian cinema. By reaching this total, Dhurandhar 2 has now officially surpassed the lifetime worldwide gross of the epic Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, which ended its run at ₹1,788.06 Cr. With this achievement, the film has climbed to become the second-highest-grossing Indian movie of all time globally, trailing only behind Dangal.

Dhurandhar 2 Box Office: Ranveer Singh Starrer Emerges Second Biggest Indian Film Worldwide, Beating Baahubali 2

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, May 3 - Director Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has created history at the global box office, emerging as the second-highest-grossing Indian film behind only Aamir Khan's Dangal, and beating SS Rajamouli's Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. The film is produced by Jyoti Deshpande of Jio Studios and Aditya Dhar and Lokesh Dhar of B62 Studios. The spy-action spectacle starring Ranveer Singh has been on a record-breaking run since its release in March 2026. As per the latest box office numbers, the film has crossed 1,788 crore globally and is inching toward the ₹1,790 crore mark, putting it right alongside Baahubali 2's lifetime total of around 1,788 crore in 46 days. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) A Record-Breaking Run What makes this achievement even more remarkable is the consistency shown by Dhurandhar 2 throughout its theatrical run. The film opened to massive numbers and continued to draw strong footfalls in the weeks that followed, displaying exceptional hold despite competition from new releases. Dhurandhar 2's overseas performance has been equally historic, contributing significantly to its record-breaking worldwide total. In India, the film has grossed over 1362 crores, while its international collection is an estimated 426 crores.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Even though Dangal will remain the biggest Indian grosser for now, its collection was boosted massively by the contribution from China, where it grossed over 1300 crores. As has been the case, China is not a regular market for the film; hence, it is not considered a suitable comparison with other films. For years, Baahubali 2, starring Prabhas, was considered an almost untouchable benchmark in Indian cinema. Its global dominance symbolised the scale and reach of Indian films. However, Dhurandhar 2 has now managed to edge past that milestone, signalling a new era for Bollywood at the worldwide box office. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) What Makes This Achievement Huge - Baahubali 2 held the No.2 position globally for nearly a decade. - Dhurandhar 2 achieved this without China and the Gulf release, unlike Dangal. - The film has shown exceptional longevity, sustaining collections deep into its theatrical run. - No release in the Gulf makes it the greatest overseas performance for an Indian film. An Irreplaceable Global Phenomenon Just like the greatest Indian blockbusters, Dhurandhar 2 will be remembered for its path-breaking success. While other films needed support from key international markets like the Gulf and China, Dhurandhar 2 achieved this feat without these two big boosters, making it an irreplaceable global phenomenon in Indian cinema, and its adult rating further speaks to its popularity among audiences.

Dhurandhar 2 Day 44 Box Office: Total Net Hits 1,136 Cr as Historic South India Milestone Now Seems Impossible to Reach

BY SACNILK

Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is now moving at a slower pace than usual as it continues its extended run at the box office. On its 44th day, the film collected a net of 1.05 crore in India. This is a minor 8.7 percent drop from the 1.15 crore it earned on the previous day, showing that even in its seventh week, there is still some residual interest among the audience despite the massive volume of new releases. A major factor impacting the numbers now is the significant reduction in screen space. For the first time in its run, the show count for Dhurandhar 2 has slipped below the 1,000 mark, with only 851 shows recorded on Friday. This crunch is driven by a massive influx of new releases like Raja Shivaji, Patriot, and KD The Devil 2. Additionally, existing holdovers like Bhooth Bangla and Michael are also competing for the same multiplex slots. By today, which is day 45, the situation is even tighter with show counts expected to drop below 500, a logical progression given the crowded market landscape. Despite the shrinking footprint, the film has reached some massive milestones in specific territories. It is currently inching closer to the 100 crore gross mark in the Telugu states, currently sitting at 99.50 crore. Its performance in Karnataka has been even more dominant, with the film grossing 150 crore in the state. Total India gross collections have reached a massive 1,359.83 crore, cementing its status as one of the biggest earners in history. Perhaps the most interesting data point is the performance in South India, where the total gross has now crossed 297 crore. This leaves the film just 3 crore away from the 300 crore milestone, a record that no other non-south movie has ever achieved in Indian cinema history. However, with show counts dropping so rapidly and the intense pressure from new releases, reaching that final 3 crore target now appears nearly impossible. Given the current market trajectory and the massive reduction in screen space, it seems the film will fall just short of securing this specific piece of box office history. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Take a look at the language-wise net collection breakdown across India: Hindi: ₹ 1,068.04 Cr Telugu: ₹ 42.89 Cr Tamil: ₹ 19.63 Cr Kannada: ₹ 3.81 Cr Malayalam: ₹ 1.77 Cr In the national multiplex chains, the seventh-week performance remains quite steady given the circumstances. On its 44th day, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge managed to gross around 26 lakh from about 7,900 tickets sold across PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis. PVR led the chains with a gross of 15 lakh from 4,418 tickets, while INOX and Cinepolis contributed approximately 8 lakh and 3 lakh respectively. With an occupancy rate of 13 percent across 400 shows in these chains, the movie is still finding a niche audience even as the focus of major theaters shifts toward newer tentpole releases. On the digital front, BookMyShow recorded 27.09K ticket sales for this seventh Friday. The international market added another 0.25 crore on day 44, bringing the total overseas gross to 425.40 crore. When you combine the domestic and international figures, the worldwide total gross stands at 1,785.23 crore.

Bhooth Bangla Day 15 Box Office: India Net Hits 132.65 Cr as it Surpasses the 3rd Friday Collection Records of URI and Kalki 2898 AD

Bhooth Bangla has shown a positive trend as it enters its third week at the box office. On day 15, which was its third Friday, the film collected a net of 4.50 crore. This represents a solid 28.6 percent growth compared to the 3.50 crore it earned on Thursday. This kind of upward movement on a Friday suggests that the film still has enough legs to draw in the weekend crowd even after two weeks in theaters. What makes these numbers even more impressive is the current state of the box office. With the major release of films like Raja Shivaji, Patriot, and The Devil Wears Prada 2 yesterday, the competition for screen space has become intense. This crowded market led to a sharp reduction in shows for Bhooth Bangla, which dropped from roughly 8,000 shows on Thursday to 4,807 shows on Friday.Managing a 28.6 percent growth while operating on nearly half the number of shows is a strong indicator of the film's resilience. It suggests that while total capacity decreased, the occupancy per show spiked as audiences continued to favor this two-week-old release despite the arrival other competitions. The total India net collection has now reached 132.65 crore. When you consider the reported budget of 120 crore, the film has officially moved past the recovery stage and is now comfortably in the profit zone. The total India gross collection stands at 157.55 crore so far, reflecting a very healthy run in the domestic market across its 4,807 shows on day 15. It is interesting to see where the film stands in historical terms. With its day 15 performance, Bhooth Bangla has secured the 18th spot on the list of highest third-Friday collections for Hindi movies. By achieving this, it has surpassed the third-Friday numbers of major blockbusters like Kalki 2898 AD, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, and URI: The Surgical Strike. This ranking is a clear indicator of the film's consistent holding power at the box office. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Ticket sales on BookMyShow continue to stay active, with 89,070 tickets sold on the third Friday alone. This brings the total tickets sold on the platform to a massive 25.24 lakh. In the national multiplex chains, the movie saw steady footfalls, selling approximately 19,100 tickets and grossing about 60 lakh on day 15. While these are not opening-day levels, they are very respectable figures for a third-week run. The overseas performance has also been a key part of the film's success story. On day 15, it added 1.25 crore from international markets, taking the total overseas gross to 53.50 crore. The Gulf region has emerged as a standout territory, with the UAE alone contributing 1.07 million dollars (roughly 9 crore) over the 15-day period. Given that the UAE usually drives the bulk of the region’s business, the total GCC contribution is trending in the $1.5 million to $1.7 million range. This performance has played a major role in pushing the worldwide gross past the 211.05 crore mark. Looking at the trajectory, we can expect a significant jump over the rest of the third weekend. Saturday and Sunday are likely to see even better occupancy, which could potentially push the third-weekend net total toward the 16 to 18 crore range. If this trend continues, Bhooth Bangla is well on its way to finishing its third weekend with a net total near 140-145 crore, further increasing its profitability for the makers.
