Akshay Kumar reportedly plays the antagonist role in Golmaal 5, which marks his first film in the franchise, headed by Ajay Devgn. The film is scheduled to release next year.

Makers Address Rumours of Akshay Kumar's Remuneration For Golmaal 5

Mumbai, May 16 - The makers of the upcoming comedy entertainer Golmaal 5 have reportedly addressed the ongoing rumours surrounding Akshay Kumar and his reported remuneration for the film. Over the last few days, multiple reports claimed that Akshay was being paid a massive 35-40 crore fee for a short shooting schedule in the upcoming comedy entertainer.

However, the production house, Rohit Shetty Picturez, has now dismissed all such reports as baseless and purely speculative. In an official statement (via Bollywood Hungama), the spokesperson clarified that the commercial details of the film are confidential and that the numbers being circulated online are not true.

The clarification came after it was reported in the media that Akshay Kumar was charging more than Ajay Devgn for the film. According to those reports, Akshay was allegedly receiving 35-40 crore for around 18-22 days of shoot, while Ajay Devgn was said to be working on a profit-sharing model.

Despite the rumours, the makers have requested fans to support the film and avoid believing unverified financial reports. The makers stated that the team is making the film with a lot of love and urged audiences to focus on the excitement surrounding the project rather than speculation about actor fees.

Directed by Rohit Shetty, the film marks the fifth instalment of the hugely popular Golmaal franchise. Apart from Ajay Devgn and Akshay Kumar, the movie also stars Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade, Sharman Joshi, and Kunal Kemmu in prominent roles.

Why Border 2 Won the War Box Office Battle While Others Failed

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, May 15 - Mounting a big-budget war film is among the toughest challenges in filmmaking. From military research to realistic combat design and large-scale outdoor shoots to VFX, sound design, and emotionally charged music, every detail demands precision and massive investment. But trade experts say a great spectacle alone no longer guarantees box office success. Today's audiences want authenticity, emotion, and characters they can connect with beyond the battlefield. Over the span of six months, there were some major war films that were released in theatres. The audience verdict, though, was evident with Border 2 emerging as a big blockbuster and eventually becoming the most successful war film of recent times with 450 crores worldwide gross collection. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Industry chatter suggests that the film's emotional storytelling and patriotic core struck a chord with viewers across generations, proving that the appetite for war dramas coupled with a strong emotional core is still very much alive. Many within the trade are now crediting the Duttas for once again redefining the genre they mastered decades ago. With Border and now Border 2, producer and co-writer Nidhi Dutta has shown that the secret to a successful war film lies not just in scale, but in soul. The blockbuster success of Border 2 has reignited interest in the genre. Produced by Nidhi Dutta under JP Films, and Bhushan Kumar of T-Series, Border 2 stars Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahaan Shetty, and was released on 23rd January 2026.

Dhurandhar 2 OTT Release Date: Ranveer Singh Starrer Gets Extended Theatrical Run As JioHotstar Confirms June 4 Release

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, May 15 - Amid the growing suspense, JioHotstar has finally provided the update regarding the digital release of Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge. The Ranveer Singh-starrer has been in theatres since March 19 and has done extraordinary business at the box office by emerging as the second-highest-grossing Indian film of all-time. JioHotstar had acquired the post-theatrical streaming rights of Ranveer Singh starrer, and it was assumed to be released digitally on May 15, after completing 8 weeks (56 days) in theatres. However, there was no update from the platform, which raised curiosity among the fans about when the film will actually be available on OTT. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) JioHotstar Announces Digital Release of Dhurandhar 2 On Friday, JioHotstar teased the much-anticipated OTT release of the spy action thriller. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the streamer teased, "Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready for this?", and confirmed via a short clip that the film will start streaming very, very soon. Meanwhile, on its app, the streamer has listed the film for June 4 release. Dhurandhar 2 has already passed 8 weeks of the routine theatrical window, and going by the latest update from the makers, it is clear that the makers have extended the window. This makes sense since the film is still regularly earning over 30 lakh daily despite being in its 9th week, and has grossed around 1800 crores worldwide.

Bhooth Bangla Week 4 Box Office: Rs. 14.30 Crore Collection Beats Sooryavanshi To Become Post-COVID Number 1

BY SACNILK

Bhooth Bangla is a delightful horror-comedy that brings back the iconic collaboration of Akshay Kumar and filmmaker Priyadarshan. The film follows a London-based man who inherits a massive, cursed ancestral palace in India and gets caught in a series of spooky yet hilarious situations while facing a mythological demon This mix of chills and chuckles has clearly worked wonders, as the movie has completed its fourth week with a very strong performance at the box office. Ending its fourth week on a high note, the film has managed to collect a total net of 14.30 crore over the last seven days. On its 28th day, the movie collected 1.25 crore net, showing zero drop from the previous day. Holding steady like this on a Thursday is a clear sign that the word-of-mouth remains positive and the audience is still coming in to enjoy the laughs. The film had a wide reach this week, and on Day 28 alone, it was screened across 4,061 shows. This brings the cumulative show count since the release to a massive 196,561 shows. Even after nearly a month in theaters, the movie is commanding a significant number of screens, which has helped it maintain a consistent flow of revenue. The overall performance for the fourth week has been exceptional, with the film raking in a net collection of 14.30 crore. This is a massive number that places it at the very top of the charts when compared to other major post-pandemic releases in their fourth weeks. Here is the day-wise breakdown for the week. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Bhooth Bangla - Week 4 India Net CollectionWEEK 4 DAYINDIA NET COLLECTIONDay 22 (Friday)₹ 1.75 CrDay 23 (Saturday)₹ 3.00 CrDay 24 (Sunday)₹ 4.00 CrDay 25 (Monday)₹ 1.35 CrDay 26 (Tuesday)₹ 1.70 CrDay 27 (Wednesday)₹ 1.25 CrDay 28 (Thursday)₹ 1.25 CrTotal Week 4₹ 14.30 Cr When we look at the ticket sales in the big multiplex chains, the fourth week saw a total of 56,592 tickets sold across PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis.

PVR led the way with around 1,305 tickets, followed by INOX with 1,245 tickets, and Cinepolis contributing about 420 tickets. These numbers show that the urban audience in major cities is still actively supporting the film. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The digital footprint on BookMyShow is equally impressive. In the fourth week, the film recorded 234K ticket bookings on the platform. The weekend was particularly busy, with Sunday peaking at over 59K tickets. With these additions, the total number of tickets booked for Bhooth Bangla on BookMyShow has now crossed the 3 million mark, reaching 3,070,380 tickets in total. This level of engagement is a testament to the film popularity across different regions. With this strong fourth-week finish, Bhooth Bangla has now solidified its position as one of Akshay Kumar's top-performing films in the post-pandemic era. It has officially surpassed the lifetime collections of OMG 2, moving into the third spot on his list of post-covid hits. Currently, Sooryavanshi and Housefull 5 hold the first and second positions. It is fascinating to see that Bhooth Bangla fourth-week collection of 14.30 crore is actually higher than what his other hits managed during the same period, outperforming Sooryavanshi (6.43 crore), OMG 2 (7.40 crore), and Housefull 5 (2.30 crore) in their respective fourth weeks. To give you the full picture of its financial success, the total India net collection now stands at 164.30 crore, with a gross collection of 194.82 crore. The film has also found an audience overseas, adding 53.30 crore to the kitty. All combined, the worldwide gross collection has reached a fantastic 248.12 crore.
