De De Pyaar De 2 Collection: Ajay Devgn, Rakul Preet Singh's Rom-Com Tops 100 Crore Worldwide

Mumbai, November 25 - Ajay Devgn and Rakul Preet Singh-fronted romantic comedy De De Pyaar De 2 has topped the 100 crore worldwide mark, a decent milestone at the global box office. Directed by Anshul Sharma, DDPD2 took 12 days to go past the century mark worldwide. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) While entering the 100-crore club is always noteworthy for a rom-com, the overall performance of the sequel is being viewed as satisfactory rather than impressive, especially considering the expectations attached to the brand value of the first film. The film opened on a modest note, and though it picked up over the weekend, the growth wasn't strong enough to signal a major blockbuster run. Gradual progress over the weekdays and a steady second weekend helped the film push its worldwide gross to over 100 crore, allowing it to just about cross the benchmark. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) At the domestic box office, DDPD2 has grossed approximately 77.50 crores in 12 days, which also reflects the mixed trend β€” not a failure, but far from the commanding numbers expected from a franchise-driven urban entertainer. Overseas, the film has posted around 22.50 crores so far to take its global tally past 100 crores. Despite this, De De Pyaar De 2 remains a fairly acceptable box-office outing, buoyed by family audiences. Overall, the film's entry into the 100 crore worldwide club is a decent achievement, but the verdict remains clear β€” the result is not extraordinary, merely satisfactory, and certainly below what trade circles had anticipated before release.

Tere Ishk Mein Advance Booking: A Double-Digit Opening On The Cards For Dhanush, Kriti Sanon's Romantic Drama

Mumbai, November 25 - Dhanush and Kriti Sanon's much-awaited Tere Ishk Mein is heading for a solid opening at the domestic box office after the early promising signs in the advance booking. Directed by Anand L. Rai, the film is scheduled to release on November 28 in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. The booking of Tere Iskq Mein was opened on Monday, November 24, and since then, it has been trending better than several Bollywood films of the year. As of 9 AM on November 26, the romantic drama has sold over 45K tickets worth 1.10 crore gross collection for the opening day. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In the three national chains (PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis), Tere Ishk Mein has sold nearly 20K tickets so far, and with almost 2 days left before the release, the pre-sales are expected to be among the highest of the year. The makers have done well to keep the buzz going with a solid trailer and songs, which is being reflected in the early pre-sales numbers. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Not many films this year have managed to take a double-digit opening at the domestic box office, but here, Tere Ishk Mein seems to be heading for that mark comfortably, if the pre-sales momentum continues.

Tere Ishk Mein is touted as one of the best romantic dramas, and if it manages to click with the audiences, then it will be unstoppable at the box office, as romantic films have done well this year. As said, the early signs are very promising, and it is certain to take a good opening at the box office. Stay tuned...

Movies Releasing This Week: Dhanush's Tere Ishk Mein, Vijay Varma's Gustaakh Ishq or Bengali thriller Danab - Which one is your weekend pick? Bollywood

Movies Releasing This Week: Dhanush's Tere Ishk Mein, Vijay Varma's Gustaakh Ishq or Bengali thriller Danab - Which one is your weekend pick?

The final week of November 2025 sets the stage for a massive theatrical clash. The box office is expected to be dominated by the explosive reunion of Dhanush and Aanand L. Rai in Tere Ishk Mein, a film that promises to reignite the obsessive passion of Raanjhanaa. However, the "Mass" entertainer faces an elegant challenger in Manish Malhotra’s poetic production debut, which takes us back to the romance of the 90s. Beyond these Hindi giants, the lineup remains diverse with a festival-acclaimed murder mystery, a bold conversation starter on menopause, and a gritty Bengali psychological thriller for regional cinema lovers. Gustaakh Ishq Release Date: November 28, 2025 Director: Vibhu Puri Production: Stage5 Productions (Manish Malhotra) Cast: Vijay Varma, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Naseeruddin Shah, Sharib Hashmi Marking the highly anticipated production debut of ace fashion designer Manish Malhotra under his banner Stage5 Productions, Gustaakh Ishq (previously titled Ul Jalool Ishq) promises a visual and auditory feast. Set in the charming, pre-mobile era of the 1990s in Old Delhi, the film is a poetic ode to old-school romance and Urdu literature. Director Vibhu Puri, known for his visual flair in Hawaizaada, teams up with the legendary musical duo of Vishal Bhardwaj and Gulzar, ensuring the soundtrack is as evocative as the setting. For actor Vijay Varma, known for his intense roles in streaming hits like Darlings, this film serves as a significant theatrical test as he steps into a soft, romantic solo lead role, supported by a powerhouse cast including Fatima Sana Shaikh, Sharib Hashmi, and the veteran Naseeruddin Shah. Kaisi Ye Paheli Release Date: November 28, 2025 Director: Ananyabrata Chakravorty (Debut) Production: Take Pictures Cast: Sukant Goel, Sadhana Singh, Rajit Kapur, Chittaranjan Giri. A "sleeper hit" candidate. This dark comedy-murder mystery is set in a sleepy hill town in Northeast India. It explores the relationship between a lonely mother and her policeman son who are drawn into a puzzling homicide. The film has already garnered praise at the New York Indian Film Festival (NYIFF).The film marks a rare and significant comeback for Sadhana Singh, the star of the 1982 blockbuster Nadiya Ke Paar. For audiences who grew up in the 80s, her return is a major hook. Rajit Kapur plays a character named 'Detective Bondo'. This is a meta-casting choice, as Kapur is immortalized in Indian pop culture as the original Byomkesh Bakshi (1993). Seeing him back in a sleuthing role is a treat for genre fans.The film is crowdfunded, meaning it relies entirely on content and word-of-mouth rather than marketing muscle. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Me No Pause Me Play Release Date: November 28, 2025 Director: Samar K. Mukherjee Production: Mirrro Films Cast: Kamya Punjabi, Deepshikha Nagpal, Sudha Chandran, Aman Verma. Marketed as "India’s first mainstream feature film on Menopause," this social drama is based on the book by Manoj Kumar Sharma. It aims to destigmatize the physical and emotional changes women face during this phase.The cast is a Who's Who of Indian Television. Kamya Punjabi and Sudha Chandran command massive loyalty from TV audiences. The film's success depends on whether this television fanbase translates to ticket sales for a social-cause film. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Tere Ishk Mein Release Date: November 28, 2025 Director: Aanand L. Rai Production: Colour Yellow Productions & T-Series Cast: Dhanush, Kriti Sanon, Prakash Raj This is the heavyweight title of the week. Reteaming the dream trio of director Aanand L. Rai, actor Dhanush, and composer A.R. Rahman, this film carries massive expectations. The story is an intense, aggressive romance set against the backdrop of student politics and tragedy, much like their previous collaboration. The makers have officially called this a "spiritual sequel" to the 2013 blockbuster Raanjhanaa. While the story is different, it is set in the same "world" and carries the same DNA of obsessive love and rage. Dhanush's character is named 'Shankar', a nod to the lord of destruction, mirroring his character 'Kundan' from the first film.This marks Dhanush’s return to Hindi theatrical screens after a decade (since Shamitabh in 2015; Atrangi Re was a direct-to-OTT release). Given the cult status of Raanjhanaa, the opening day figures are expected to be the highest of the week.With Irshad Kamil on lyrics and Rahman on music, the album is already a chartbuster, which is usually a strong indicator of a film's opening success in India. Danab (Bengali) Release Date: November 27, 2025 Director: Atiul Islam Production: Mohona Films Cast: Kharaj Mukherjee, Piyar Khan, Rupsha Mukhopadhyay, Laboni Sarkar Danab (The Demon) is a psychological thriller with a grim premise. The story follows Shiba, a man working in a morgue, whose life turns upside down when the body of his loved one arrives for an autopsy, triggering a chain of dark revelations about rape and power. One of the most versatile actors in Bengali cinema, Mukherjee transitions effortlessly between comedy and menacing villainy. His presence anchors the film's performance quality. Despite the dark theme, the film features music by high-profile singers like Javed Ali and rock icon Rupam Islam, ensuring the soundtrack has mass appeal even if the subject matter is niche. The final week of November 2025 is shaping up to be a fascinating battle between "Mass Emotion" and "Class Aesthetics." While Tere Ishk Mein is undoubtedly the box-office juggernaut that will drive opening weekend footfalls with its high-octane passion and star power, Gustaakh Ishq offers a visually stunning alternative for those craving poetry and nostalgia. However, do not overlook the hidden gems of the week. Films like the gritty Bengali thriller Danab and the festival-acclaimed Kaisi Ye Paheli offer the kind of gripping, content-driven storytelling that often leads to cult success. Whether you are in the mood for the aggressive romance of a blockbuster, the charm of the 90s, or a dark mystery, this week’s theatrical slate has a ticket for everyone

Known for redefining cinematic scale every time he directs, Rajamouli is set to deliver yet another spectacle with adventurous themes and jaw-dropping action, rooted in Hindi culture with sci-fi elements. The fans eagerly wait to witness the master storyteller's next chapter in Indian film history. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Toxic: A Fairy Tale For Grown-Ups (March 2026) Yash returns after the massive success of KGF Chapter 2 β€” this time with a gangster thriller wrapped in a fairytale narrative. Toxic, directed by Geetu Mohandas, promises a stylishly intense story, bolstered by a strong ensemble cast. The film is expected to merge mass elevation with artistic sophistication, presenting Yash in a character far more complex and layered than before. Spirit (2027) Pan India superstar Prabhas continues his streak of experimental choices with Spirit, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga β€” a filmmaker known for bold storytelling and emotionally violent intensity. Prabhas plays a fierce police officer taking on a powerful criminal world, promising gripping action paired with raw drama. The collaboration itself is a massive attraction, and expectations are already sky-high. AA22 Γ— A6 (2026/2027) Another film with sky-high expectations, AA22xA6 marks Allu Arjun's next blockbuster after the groundbreaking success of Pushpa 2: The Rule. Directed by Atlee, the sci-fi action thriller is among the most ambitious Indian films, featuring a powerful star cast. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Dragon/NTRNeel (2026) Jr. NTR joining hands with KGF director Prashanth Neel ignites instant excitement. Neel's signature raw action and Jr NTR's commanding screen presence are expected to blend into a high-voltage mass entertainer with cinematic world-building at the forefront. The film aims to push action filmmaking in India to new limits, delivering a powerful spectacle fueled by aggression, grit, and swagger. King (2026) After delivering one of the biggest Indian blockbusters in Pathaan, superstar Shah Rukh Khan reunites with director Siddharth Anand for the gangster action thriller, King, touted as the most violent film for King Khan. Slated to hit the screens next year, King will be SRK's first release in nearly 3 years, since Dunki (2023). A New Era Awaits Each of these films, along with many others, represents a daring leap in storytelling and scale, proving that the Indian film industry is ready to compete globally with unmatched ambition. With stars uniting, budgets soaring, and audiences demanding grandeur, the upcoming years promise to be a celebratory phase for movie lovers across the world. The stage is set. The countdown has begun. And Indian cinema is about to roar louder than ever before. Stay tuned...

120 Bahadur vs Mastiii 4 Box Office Comparison: A Forgettable Weekend For Bollywood Bollywood

120 Bahadur vs Mastiii 4 Box Office Comparison: A Forgettable Weekend For Bollywood

Mumbai, November 24 - Bollywood witnessed one of the most disastrous weekends as both 120 Bahadur and Mastiii 4 delivered modest numbers at the box office, despite arriving with brand value and familiar faces. While Farhan Akhtar's war drama 120 Bahadur managed to put better numbers than the other one, neither film could create the kind of impact the industry was hoping for. 120 Bahadur, based on the Battle of Rezang La, opened on a lukewarm note but showed some signs of improvement over the weekend. After a low start, the film witnessed growth on Saturday and maintained the same pace on Sunday, taking its 3-day India net total to approximately 10 crore. While the jump indicates favourable word of mouth in certain pockets, the overall weekend remained below expectations considering the film's scale and subject. Check Out Box Office Comparison of Both Films (Net Collection) Day 120 Bahadur Mastiii 4 Day 1 β‚Ή 2.25 Cr β‚Ή 2.75 Cr Day 2 β‚Ή 3.85 Cr β‚Ή 2.75 Cr Day 3 β‚Ή 4.00 Cr β‚Ή 3.00 Cr Total β‚Ή 10.10 Cr β‚Ή 8.50 Cr Estimated Collection* On the other hand, Masti 4, the fourth instalment in the once-popular adult-comedy franchise, failed to capitalise on the brand name. The film remained flat through the weekend, collecting around 8.50 crore across its first three days. With negligible growth from Friday to Sunday, the franchise's fatigue has become evident, and the film has turned out to be one of the weakest performers in the series. In comparison, 120 Bahadur holds the edge in both growth and total weekend collection. However, with neither film delivering a substantial opening, the weekend as a whole has turned out to be forgettable for Bollywood. Low occupancies, cautious audience response, and lack of strong buzz contributed to the subdued performance. Stay tuned...

As the shoot of the film is nearing its end, the suspense over the release date continues to grow. Earlier, it was reported that Salman was planning to release it in June 2026 due to a packed schedule early in the year. However, the latest reports hint that it might be released early. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to Bollywood Hungama, the superstar is toying with the idea and considering if his war film can arrive on Eid 2026. Eid has been synonymous with Salman Khan over the years, with any of his films getting released on this festival. Earlier, the actor reportedly decided not to bring BoG during the frame as there are already a couple of big movies releasing. Currently, Yash's Toxic and Ajay Devgn's Dhamaal 4 are scheduled to hit the screens on Eid 2026. However, the postponement of Ranbir Kapoor's Love and War, which was supposed to release on this festival, might have tempted Salman to bring Battle of Galwan to his most celebrated festive slot. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) There are rumours that Toxic might also get postponed due to a delay in production, even though the makers recently reconfirmed their release plans. If it indeed gets postponed, then it might be easy for Salman Khan and team to release BoG during that time, and clash with Dhamaal 4. For that, the Sultan star is seriously considering and will take a call on the same soon. Produced by Salman Khan Films, the film is based on the events that took place between the Indian and Chinese troops at the Galwan region on June 15, 2020, when 200 Indian soldiers bravely defended their territory against a force of 1200 Chinese Liberation Army soldiers.

Christmas 2025 Box Office Clash: Will James Cameron's 'Avatar: Fire and Ash' crush Kartik Aaryan's 'Tu Meri Main Tera' and Agastya Nanda's 'Ikkis'?

The holiday season is getting crowded! From Pandora’s Na'vi to Sriram Raghavan’s war zone, here is a detailed look at the 5-way battle set to explode this December. If you thought the box office was cooling down, think again. The final month of 2025 is gearing up to be a historic battlefield at the ticket windows. While the Christmas window is lucrative, it is also ruthless. This year, we aren't just looking at a double clash; we are staring at a five-way face-off involving Hollywood titans, Bollywood superstars, and Pan-India legends. With the release dates locked, here is everything you need to know about the contenders fighting for screen space this December. Avatar: Fire and Ash Release Date: December 19, 2025 Director: James Cameron Cast: Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang. Technically arriving a week early, this is the shark in the water. Avatar: Fire and Ash (Avatar 3) will introduce the "Ash People" (Fire Na'vi), adding a darker tone to the franchise.The previous installment, Avatar: The Way of Water (2022), was a monster in India, collecting approximately β‚Ή 391.4 Cr (India Net) and surpassing huge Bollywood blockbusters. With a head start of one week, it will likely hog the IMAX and premium format screens, making it a nightmare for the films releasing on Christmas Day. Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri Release Date: December 25, 2025 Director:Sameer Sanjay Vidwans Cast: Kartik Aaryan,Ananya Panday, Neena Gupta and Jackie Shroff his film marks a massive "homecoming" of sorts. It is Kartik Aaryan’s first major release with Dharma Productions (Karan Johar) after their highly publicized fallout years ago, making it a hot topic in the trade. Directed by Sameer Vidwans, who delivered the critical and commercial hit Satyaprem Ki Katha (2023) with Kartik, expectations are sky-high for this duo to recreate that magic The film boasts a potent "Combo Factor" that has the trade buzzing. Fans are thrilled to witness the big-screen reunion of Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday, whose sparkling chemistry was a key driver in the success of their 2019 hit Pati Patni Aur Woh, which collected approximately β‚Ή 84.56 Cr (India Net). Adding to the credibility is the return of the director-actor duo, Sameer Vidwans and Kartik; Vidwans is known for extracting emotional depth from the actor, a quality that was widely appreciated in their previous collaboration, Satyaprem Ki Katha. Billed as a "Gen-Z rom-com with a 90s soul," the movie promises to deliver the nostalgic charm of a classic Dharma romance, further elevated by the chart-topping tunes of returning composers Vishal-Shekhar. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Ikkis Release Date: December 25, 2025 Director:Sriram Raghavan Cast: Agastya Nanda, Dharmendra, Jaideep Ahlawat. This is the dark horse of the season. Directed by the master of thrillers, Sriram Raghavan (of Andhadhun fame), Ikkis is a biopic of Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, the youngest Param Vir Chakra recipient. For Agastya Nanda, this is his big theatrical test after his debut in The Archies (Netflix). All eyes are on director Sriram Raghavan, whose previous masterpiece Andhadhun is a case study in box office longevity. The film started slow but raced to a massive β‚Ή 74.32 Cr India Net purely on word-of-mouth. However, its success wasn't limited to domestic borders; the thriller exploded globally, amassing a staggering β‚Ή 439.64 Cr Worldwide, driven by a colossal β‚Ή 344.54 Cr from Overseas markets (with a historic run in China). If Ikkis delivers similar content-driven power, it could be the "Jerry Maguire" of this seasonβ€”starting small but scoring big in the long run. Vrusshabha Release Date: December 25, 2025 Director:Nanda Kishore Cast: Mohanlal,Zahrah S Khan, Shanaya Kapoor,Roshan Meka Billed as an "Epical Action Entertainer," Vrusshabha is one of the most ambitious projects coming out of the Malayalam industry but shot as a proper Pan-India film.Mohanlal is a legend. The film marks the big Pan-India debut for Shanaya Kapoor and Zahrah S Khan. Adding to the lineup is the young and energetic Roshan Meka (known for Pelli SandaD), whose dynamic with Mohanlal is said to be the emotional core of the film. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Anaconda Release Date: December 25, 2025 Director:Tom Gormican Cast: Jack Black, Paul Rudd, Steve Zahn, Thandiwe Newton, Daniela Melchior, and Selton Mello This isn't your average creature featureβ€”it is a star-studded, meta-comedic reimagining of the 1997 cult classic. Directed by Tom Gormican, who gave us the critically acclaimed The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, this version promises a fresh twist on the genre. The story reportedly follows a group of friends facing mid-life crises who head to the rainforest to remake their favorite movie, only to find themselves hunted by giant snakes for real.With Godzilla and Kong movies performing exceptionally well in India recently collecting β‚Ή 106.99 Cr (India Nett), a high-budget snake disaster movie has a built-in audience in the mass centers. The battle lines are drawn. With James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire and Ash arriving early to dominate premium formats, the four Christmas Day releases face a massive challenge to secure screens and footfalls. However, history has proven that multiple films can coexist if the content is strong. Will Kartik Aaryan’s charm and Sriram Raghavan’s storytelling hold the fort against the Hollywood tsunami? Or will Mohanlal’s mass appeal surprise everyone? One thing is certain: The Box Office is about to witness fireworks like never before.

Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari on Netflix: As Varun Dhawan’s film hits OTT on Nov 27, did it outperform his previous hit β€˜Bhediya’ and Janhvi’s β€˜Param Sundari’ with Rs 98 crore worldwide gross? Bollywood

Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari on Netflix: As Varun Dhawan’s film hits OTT on Nov 27, did it outperform his previous hit β€˜Bhediya’ and Janhvi’s β€˜Param Sundari’ with Rs 98 crore worldwide gross?

The Shashank Khaitan directorial is all set for its digital premiere this November 27.Here’s a detailed look at its theatrical report card and how it stacks up against the stars' recent hits. After a theatrical run filled with festive cheer and family drama, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari is ready to enter living rooms.The romantic comedy, starring Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor, will premiere on Netflix on November 27. Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari marks the highly anticipated third collaboration between Varun Dhawan and director Shashank Khaitan, following the massive successes of Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania and Badrinath Ki Dulhania, leading fans to dub it the "spiritual successor" to the celebrated franchise. Staying true to their signature style, the narrative revolves around Sunny (Varun) and Tulsi (Janhvi)β€”two contrasting personalities forced to navigate a "fake relationship" amidst the chaos of a big fat Indian wedding, resulting in a classic comedy of errors. However, the film's theatrical run wasn't without hurdles; trade analysts noted that the collections were slightly dented by the massive buzz surrounding the pan-India release Kantara: Chapter 1, which occupied a significant chunk of single screens during the same period. Below is the final breakdown of its theatrical run: India Net Collection: ₹ 61.85 Cr India Gross Collection: ₹ 73.85 Cr Overseas Collection: ₹ 24.50 Cr Worldwide Collection: ₹ 98.35 Cr With a worldwide gross of β‚Ή 98.35 Cr, the film narrowly missed the double-century mark (β‚Ή 100 Cr). The Overseas collection of β‚Ή 24.5 Cr is a highlight, proving that the Dhawan-Khaitan trademark humor still holds strong appeal among international desi audiences. Varun Dhawan returns to his celebrated "Dulhania" roots with Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, cementing his status as the genre's reliable star. When analyzing his recent box office trajectory, the film lands in a familiar zone. It falls slightly short of his previous family entertainer, JugJugg Jeeyo, which collected approximately β‚Ή85 Cr (India Net)β€”a gap likely attributed to the current saturation within the genre.Sunny Sanskari mirrors the performance of his creature-comedy Bhediya. With Bhediya having earned around β‚Ή 68.99 Cr India Nett .Interestingly, while Sunny Sanskari (β‚Ή 61.85 Cr) trails slightly behind Bhediya in domestic earnings, it has outperformed Bhediya's Worldwide Collection of β‚Ή 94.91 Cr by grossing β‚Ή 98.35 Cr, largely thanks to a much stronger overseas performance (β‚Ή 24.5 Cr vs Bhediya's β‚Ή 13.5 Cr). This places the new release in the same "Average" to "Semi-Hit" bracket as his earlier experimental ventures. Janhvi Kapoor continues her ascent as a commercial force following a remarkably busy year. Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari adds another significant title to her portfolio, showcasing a clear upward trend in her box office draw. Earlier this year, her romantic entertainer Param Sundari emerged as a surprise success, grossing close to β‚Ή75 Cr worldwide. Sunny Sanskari has comfortably outperformed that benchmark with a global total of β‚Ή98.35 Cr, effectively cementing her bankability in the romantic-comedy space. All in all, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari wraps up its theatrical journey as a respectable semi-hit. While it couldn't replicate the franchise highs of Badrinath Ki Dulhania, it successfully weathered the storm of Kantara: Chapter 1 to post healthy global numbers.With its vibrant aesthetic and light-hearted humor, the movie is tailor-made for home viewing. As it premieres on Netflix this November 27, it is expected to find a massive second wind, catering to the family audience that prefers enjoying rom-coms from the comfort of their living rooms.

Mastiii 4 Box Office Collection: Comedy franchise struggles with flat trend; Collects estimated Rs 8.5 crore in opening weekend

The fourth installment of the popular adult-comedy franchise sees no growth on Saturday, signaling a tough road ahead. Mastiii 4, bringing back the infamous trio of Riteish Deshmukh, Vivek Oberoi, and Aftab Shivdasani, has completed its first weekend at the box office. Directed by Indra Kumar, the film relies heavily on nostalgia and slapstick humor, but the opening numbers suggest the genre is facing fatigue among the audience. The film opened on Friday with β‚Ή 2.25 Cr, a strictly average start. Ideally, mass comedies see a significant jump on Saturday. However, concerningly, Mastiii 4 remained completely flat on Day 2, earning the exact same figure of β‚Ή 2.75 Cr. This lack of growth indicates that word-of-mouth has been mixed to negative. According to early rough data, the film showed a marginal uptick on Sunday, collecting approximately β‚Ή 3 Cr. This brings the estimated 3-day domestic net total to roughly β‚Ή 8.5 Cr. The film is facing a "double whammy" at the ticket windows. It is competing for screens against the holdover hit De De Pyaar De 2 (which appeals to a similar comedy-loving audience) and the newly released war drama 120 Bahadur, which saw better growth over the weekend. While the chemistry of the lead trio remains the film's USP, critics have pointed out the repetitive nature of the humor, which seems to be reflecting in the stagnant collections. See the DayWise Collection of the Movie Mastii 4 Day India Net Collection Day 1 [1st Friday] ₹ 2.75 Cr Day 2 [1st Saturday] ₹ 2.75 Cr Day 3 [1st Sunday] ₹ 3.00 Cr (Estimates) Opening Weekend Total ₹ 8.50 Cr By the end of Saturday, the film had registered an India Net Collection of β‚Ή 5.5 Cr. In terms of gross receipts, the India Gross Collection stood at β‚Ή 6.5 Cr, while Overseas markets contributed β‚Ή 0.75 Cr, taking the 2-day Worldwide Collection to β‚Ή 7.25 Cr. With Sunday’s estimated net earnings of β‚Ή 3 Cr (which translates to roughly β‚Ή 3.50 Cr gross), the film is expected to have comfortably crossed the β‚Ή 10 Crore mark in worldwide gross earnings by the end of its opening weekend.

Day 3 120 Bahadur Box Office Collection: Farhan Akhtar’s film collects estimated Rs 10.1 crore in opening weekend after Saturday jump

Farhan Akhtar’s war drama β€˜120 Bahadur’ sees a massive 71% jump on Saturday, ending the opening weekend on a positive note.The gritty war drama starring Farhan Akhtar as Major Shaitan Singh, has completed its opening weekend at the box office. Directed by Razneesh β€˜Razy’ Ghai and produced by Excel Entertainment, the film recounts the heroic stand of the 13 Kumaon regiment during the Battle of Rezang La in the 1962 Indo-China war. The film had a slow start on its opening Friday, collecting β‚Ή 2.25 Cr, as it faced competition from holdover releases. However, positive word-of-mouth regarding the emotional depth and action sequences triggered a massive turnaround on Saturday. The film witnessed a sharp 71.11% growth, raking in β‚Ή 3.85 Cr. By the end of Saturday (Day 2), the film had already clocked a Worldwide Gross of β‚Ή 8 Cr, with β‚Ή 0.7 Cr coming from overseas markets. With Sunday's numbers added, the film is expected to have crossed the β‚Ή 12 Crore mark globally. Day India Net Collection Day 1 [1st Friday] β‚Ή2.25 Cr Day 2 [1st Saturday] β‚Ή3.85 Cr Day 3 [1st Sunday] β‚Ή 4.00 Cr (Estimates) Opening Weekend Total β‚Ή10.10 Cr While the opening numbers are modest for a film of this scale, the upward trend suggests the audience is connecting with the patriotic theme. The film needs to hold steady on Monday (aiming for β‚Ή 1.25 Cr - β‚Ή 1.5 Cr) to ensure a healthy lifetime run.

Kartik Aaryan vs Ajay Devgn Round 2: Is the actor gearing up to challenge Drishyam 3 with another massive box office clash in October 2026?

The box office battle lines are being drawn early. Following the massive Diwali 2024 face-off, Kartik Aaryan and Ajay Devgn appear destined to lock horns again on the Gandhi Jayanti weekend of 2026. T-Series announces release date for its upcoming romantic musical drama T178, arriving in cinemas on 1 October 2026 pic.twitter.com/3LpiVOQhYM— T-Series (@TSeries) November 19, 2025 If industry whispers and recent release date blocking are to be believed, Bollywood is gearing up for an encore of the historic clash we witnessed between Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again. In a move that signals growing confidence in Kartik Aaryan’s box office pull, Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series has reportedly locked a release date that pits the young star directly against veteran superstar Ajay Devgnβ€”again. According to industry buzz, the team behind the highly anticipated Drishyam 3β€”led by Ajay Devgn and Panorama Studiosβ€”has marked the October 2, 2026 (Gandhi Jayanti) holiday for the release of the third installment of the cult crime-thriller franchise. However, in a surprising strategic move, Bhushan Kumar and Kartik Aaryan have reportedly announced the release of their upcoming untitled romantic musical drama for October 1, 2026β€”just one day prior. This development comes hot on the heels of the Diwali 2024 clash, where Aaryan’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 went head-to-head with Rohit Shetty’s cop universe epic, Singham Again. While many predicted the clash would eat into the business of both films, the results showed that Aaryan could hold his own against a multi-starrer vehicle What creates the most intrigue around this prospective battle is the stark contrast in genres. In the veteran’s corner lies a proven goldmine: Drishyam 3. Directed by Abhishek Pathak, the return of the Salgaonkar family is expected to be a cinematic event, riding high on the cult status of its predecessors. Countering this crime-thriller legacy is Kartik Aaryan’s untitled romantic musical with T-Series, reportedly helmed by Anurag Basu. While the project was initially buzzed to be the third installment of the Aashiqui franchise, rights issues may necessitate a fresh title. Adding to Aaryan's rising stock is his current positioning within the industry. Beyond his stronghold with T-Series, the actor is now well-entrenched in Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, with two films reportedly in the pipeline. This consolidation of support from Bollywood’s two biggest production houses (T-Series and Dharma) provides the strategic backing needed to announce release dates aggressively. While the Diwali clash proved that two big films can coexist, trade analysts often argue that solo releases maximize revenue. The decision to release the Kartik Aaryan starrer on October 1β€”getting a one-day head start on Drishyam 3β€”suggests Bhushan Kumar is banking on a strong opening day to seize the narrative before the legacy franchise takes over the holiday screens. As of now, makers are keeping creative details of the romantic drama under tight wraps to build intrigue. But one thing is certain: October 2026 is already heating up to be a battle for supremacy.

SAHI PAKDE HAIN! Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain Makes HISTORIC Leap To Big Screen; Release Date REVEALED!

The Iconic Sitcom Becomes the First Still-Airing Show to Adapt for the Big Screen After more than a decade of dominating the small screen, the beloved comedy show 'Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain!' is officially taking a cinematic leap with its feature film adaptation, titled 'Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain – Fun On The Run.' Backed by Zee Cinema and Zee Studios, the movie is set to release in cinema halls on February 6, 2026, marking a major milestone in Indian television history. The film adaptation of Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain!, titled Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain – Fun On The Run, will transport the show's iconic characters from the familiar fictional setting of the "Modern Colony" in Kanpur into a full-blown, laugh-filled cinematic adventure. Fans will be delighted to see the original core cast returning to reprise their beloved roles, including Aasif Sheikh as the charming Vibhuti "Vibhu" Narayan Mishra, Rohitashv Gour as the easily flustered Manmohan Tiwari, Shubhangi Atre as the endearing Angoori Tiwari (complete with her iconic catchphrase, "Sahi pakde hain!"), and Vidisha Srivastava as the classy Anita "Annu" Mishra, alongside the expected return of memorable supporting characters like Yogesh Tripathi (as Daroga Happu Singh) and Saanand Verma (as Anokhelal Saxena). To elevate the beloved comedy to an altogether new level for the big screen, the returning ensemble cast will be joined by three celebrated powerhouse stars from Hindi heartland cinema: Ravi Kishan, Mukesh Tiwari, and Nirahua (Dinesh Lal Yadav). The addition of their explosive energy and established, effortless humor promises to infuse a fresh burst of comedic strength and energy into the film's storyline, expanding the show's universe into a grand cinematic adventure. The success of Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain! is built on a decade of laughter, dating back to its premiere on March 2, 2015, on &TV, having been inspired by the classic 1990s Hindi sitcom Shrimaan Shrimati. The enduring appeal of the show was cemented by a major milestone in January 2025, when the cast and crew celebrated the completion of 2500 episodes. Reflecting this immense popularity and the deep emotional bond it shares with its viewers, the show is now making a historic and unique transition: its leap to the big screen, titled Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain – Fun On The Run, while the show is still airing new episodes, marking a monumental first in Indian television history. Produced by Zee Cinema and Edit II, the film promises a full-blown, chaotic, and hilarious comedy adventure designed to expand the beloved universe for fans both new and old.
