Tum Mere Main Tumhara (TMMTMTTM), the romantic comedy starring Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday, has officially made its digital debut following an eight-week theatrical window. Released theatrically on December 25, 2025, the film is now available for home viewing, though it follows the Early Access rental model before becoming available to all subscribers. The film arrived with significant hype, primarily because it reunited the lead pair of Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday, who previously delivered the 2019 hit Pati Patni Aur Woh.However, despite the strong anticipation, the film struggled to replicate that magic at the box office. While the chemistry of the lead pair remained a highlight, a weak plot coupled with the overwhelming Dhurandhar wave resulted in a lukewarm theatrical performance. After completing its eight-week theatrical window, the film has now made its way to the digital world. When and Where to Watch Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri(TMMTMTTM) Online? Starting February 5, 2026, Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video. Currently, the film is part of the Prime Video Store under the early access model. Viewers who wish to watch the film immediately can rent it for a price of ₹349. For those who prefer not to pay the additional rental fee, the movie will be made available free of cost for all Amazon Prime members approximately two weeks later.

Hyderabad, February 6 - The buzz around superstar Yash's Toxic: A Fairytale For Grown-Ups has intensified after the makers officially locked a theatrical deal for the Telugu states. Producer Dil Raju's Sri Venkateswara Creations has officially been confirmed to distribute the movie in AP/TG. On Friday (February 6), producers KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations officially confirmed on social media that the theatrical distribution deal for Toxic has been locked for Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. While the makers didn't reveal the acquisition's price, credible reports suggest that the deal has been locked for 120 crores. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) If true, it is among the biggest ever deals for a non-Telugu film. Interestingly, the movie will be clashing with Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar The Revenge, which is itself carrying huge buzz in Telugu states. This shows that the makers are super confident that Toxic will deliver rich results at the box office in the Southern State. The gangster action drama is certainly one of the hottest properties for the big screens, especially given that it is the first movie of Yash after the all-time blockbuster KGF: Chapter 2, which was a massive success in Telugu states with around 140 crores gross collection. Written by Yash and Geetu Mohandas and directed by Geetu Mohandas, Toxic has been simultaneously shot in Kannada and English, with dubbed versions planned in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and several other languages for its global ambition. The film is scheduled to release on March 19, 2026. Stay tuned...

Mumbai, February 6 - Filmmaker Neeraj Pandey has released a statement addressing the ongoing controversy surrounding his upcoming project Ghooskhor Pandat, starring Manoj Bajpayee. The director clarified that the film is a fictional cop drama, and the term Pandat has been used purely as a colloquial name for a fictional character, without any intention to comment on or represent any caste, religion, or community.

In response to the concerns raised, the makers have decided to temporarily take down all promotional materials, stating that the film should be experienced in its entirety and understood in the proper narrative context rather than being judged through partial glimpses. The controversy around Ghooskhor Pandat erupted soon after the film's title and promotional material surfaced online. A section of social media users and community groups objected to the use of the word Pandat in the title, alleging that it could be interpreted as a derogatory reference to a particular caste or community. They claimed that associating the term with corruption ("Ghooskhor") reinforces negative stereotypes. Stay tuned...

Directed by Anurag Singh, the war epic Border 2 has concluded its second week on a strong note, maintaining excellent stability at the box office. Featuring a high-profile ensemble cast including Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty, the film has successfully carried the legacy of the original franchise while drawing massive crowds across both multiplexes and single screens. The film has now officially completed two weeks of its theatrical run, emerging as one of the biggest earners of the year. As per the 13-day data, Border 2 has demonstrated exceptional legs at the box office. The domestic net collection stood at ₹290.9 Crore, while the India gross reached ₹347.5 Crore. The film's reach extended significantly to international markets as well, where it raked in an overseas collection of ₹51 Crore. This pushed the worldwide total to ₹398.5 Crore by the end of its 13th day, putting it on the doorstep of the monumental ₹400 Crore global milestone. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   On its 14th day (second Thursday), the film continued its steady trend with early estimates suggesting a collection of approximately ₹3.35 Crore net in India. This takes the total 14-day domestic net collection to roughly ₹294.25 Crore. By crossing the ₹290 Crore mark in two weeks, the film is now set to enter the elite ₹300 Crore club in the Indian market by its third Friday or Saturday, further cementing its blockbuster status.

The mass-heavy pockets in North India and the patriotic appeal have ensured that Border 2 remains the first choice for family audiences. With a clear theatrical window and no major new releases, the Sunny Deol starrer is well-placed to carry its steady momentum into the third weekend, where a further boost in collections is anticipated.
