Shraddha Kapoor's Biographical Drama Eetha Release Date Locked

Mumbai, June 8 - Shraddha Kapoor's much-awaited film Eetha has finally locked its theatrical release date. The biographical drama, directed by Laxman Utekar, is among the most anticipated female-led Bollywood releases of the year and marks Shraddha's return to the big screen after the blockbuster success of Stree 2.

According to the latest reports, the film will hit the big screens on August 28, 2026. Eetha is based on the life and legacy of legendary Tamasha and Lavani artist Vithabai Narayangaonkar, one of Maharashtra's most celebrated folk performers.

Director Laxman Utekar, known for films such as Luka Chuppi, Mimi, and Chhaava, is said to have crafted the film as a heartfelt tribute to Maharashtra's rich folk culture. With the release date now locked, the makers are expected to begin promotional activities in the coming weeks.

The romantic comedy opened to negative to mixed reviews, but somehow managed to stay steady over the weekend.

Bhooth Bangla 8th Weekend: Movie Collects 0.37 Cr; Set to Finish as Akshay Kumar's 3rd Highest Post-Covid Grosser

BY SACNILK

It is quite impressive to see how Bhooth Bangla has settled into a remarkably long run as it concludes its eighth weekend in theaters. This horror-comedy marks the highly anticipated reunion of Akshay Kumar and director Priyadarshan, a duo that has historically defined the genre in Hindi cinema. The film follows a familiar yet engaging spooky-funny premise that has clearly struck a chord with the family audience. While the box office windows have become increasingly congested with new arrivals like Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai taking over the majority of screens, this veteran performer is showing incredible grit to stay relevant more than fifty days after its release. Analyzing the cumulative data for the eighth weekend, we see a movie that is making the most of its remaining 623 shows. The weekend began on Day 50 with a low of 0.07 Crore net, but as Saturday arrived, the film found its footing with a 42.9 percent jump to reach 0.10 Crore. The real surprise came on Sunday, where it recorded a massive 100 percent growth to collect 0.20 Crore net. Over these three days, the film maintained an average occupancy that climbed from 13 percent on Friday to a peak of 28 percent on Sunday, proving that there is still a dedicated audience seeking out this specific title during their holiday breaks. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Bhooth Bangla 8th Weekend India Net Collection DAY NET COLLECTION SHOW COUNT OCCUPANCY Day 50 (8th Fri) ₹ 0.07 Cr 215 13.0% Day 51 (8th Sat) ₹ 0.10 Cr 196 19.0% Day 52 (8th Sun) ₹ 0.20 Cr 212 28.0% 8th Weekend Total ₹ 0.37 Cr 623 20.0% (Avg) The film's performance in national chains also stayed noteworthy for such a late stage in its theatrical life. Over the eighth weekend, more than 1,900 tickets were sold across PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis. On Sunday alone, the chains contributed significantly to the footfalls; PVR saw 690 tickets sold, followed by 400 at INOX and 130 at Cinepolis. These rounded figures show that even with a reduced footprint, the film is maintaining a presence in premium urban centers, helping it edge closer to the final stages of its run. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) When we look at the global picture, the total India gross has now climbed to 215.17 Crore, while the India net total stands at 181.67 Crore. With a steady overseas gross contribution of 53.75 Crore, the cumulative worldwide total has now reached a monumental 268.92 Crore. This journey has involved a staggering 242,964 shows across its lifetime, showing the massive scale of its release and the endurance it has displayed against multiple waves of new competition. Perhaps the most significant achievement this weekend is the film's success on the booking platform BookMyShow. With a total of 33.82 lakh tickets sold, the movie has officially surpassed the lifetime BMS records of major hits like OMG 2, which stood at 3 million, and Housefull 5, which recorded 2.40 million. As the theatrical run winds down ahead of its OTT release on June 12, the film currently sits in the third position of Akshay Kumar's post-covid hunt. It still needs to collect 1.71 crore to beat the India net of Housefull 5( 183.38 Cr), but even if it crosses that domestic milestone, it will not be able to overtake the massive worldwide total of Housefull 5(288.67 Cr) to claim the second spot. Consequently, it is set to finish as the third-highest global grosser for the actor in the post-pandemic era, with Sooryavanshi (293 Cr) remaining the undisputed number one.

Cocktail 2 Tops IMDb's Real-Time Most-Anticipated Indian Movie List of 2026

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, June 6 - The excitement surrounding Cocktail 2 is reaching new heights as the upcoming romantic entertainer has secured the top spot on IMDb's real-time list of the most anticipated Indian movies and shows of 2026. The film has emerged as the most-viewed and discussed upcoming Indian title on the platform, underlining the genuine interest it has generated among audiences ahead of its release. Starring Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna, Cocktail 2 is one of Bollywood's biggest releases of 2026. Directed by Homi Adajania, the film serves as a spiritual successor to the 2012 cult romantic drama Cocktail, which starred Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, and Diana Penty. Strong Buzz Ahead Of Release (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film has been creating waves ever since its announcement. The combination of a popular franchise title, a fresh star cast, and a contemporary romantic storyline has helped Cocktail 2 become one of the most talked-about projects in the industry at the moment, and the recently released trailer has amplified the buzz. IMDb's real-time rankings are based on user engagement and page visits, making the achievement a reflection of genuine audience curiosity. The film, scheduled to release on June 19, currently has a 21% page view share on IMDb, while Akshay Kumar's Welcome To The Jungle, which will release a week later, is currently in the 6th with over 7% page view share. One of the biggest attractions of the film is its lead cast. Shahid Kapoor reunites with Kriti Sanon after the success of Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, while Rashmika Mandanna joins the duo in what is expected to be a modern love story packed with romance, drama, and music. The film is backed by Maddock Films and Luv Films, two banners known for delivering successful commercial entertainers. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Can It Live Up To The Expectations? While topping IMDb's anticipation chart is a significant achievement, the real test will come when the film arrives in theatres. The original Cocktail remains one of Bollywood's most loved romantic dramas, and expectations from the sequel are naturally high. With strong online traction, a star-studded cast, and growing audience interest, Cocktail 2 appears to be building substantial momentum ahead of its theatrical release. If the current buzz is any indication, the film could emerge as one of the biggest Bollywood attractions of 2026.
