Producer Boney Kapoor Reacts On The Rumours of Varun Dhawan's No Entry 2

Mumbai, October 13 - The sequel to No Entry (2005) has been in the news for a long time. Anees Bazmee, who directed the original film, will be helming the sequel, which was supposed to be headlined by Varun Dhawan, Arjun Kapoor, and Diljit Dosanjh. However, over the last few weeks, there have been rumours that the comedy film might have undergone a complete cast reshuffle. It was reported that Diljit Dosanjh has exited the movie due to other commitments, while rumours also surfaced online that Varun is also considering dropping the much-awaited film.

Salman Khan Takes A Dig At Director AR Murugadoss For His Remark On Sikandar's Failure

Mumbai, October 13 - Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has taken a sarcastic dig at director AR Murugadoss, who made wild excuses for the failure of Sikandar. The action drama, which marked Salman's first collaboration with ARM, was released earlier this year and bombed at the box office. During the recent interview, ARM said that it was difficult for him to work on the film as he seemingly accused the superstar of reporting late to the sets. Though ARM also said that Salman used to come at 8 PM due to the security threat, his remarks didn't go well with the actor. During the Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Big Boss 19, Salman responded to the criticism with his trademark wit. "I used to reach the set at 9 PM, but my ribs were fractured." In a sarcastic tone, Salman added, "Hamare director sahab bolte the aisa, lekin unki picture (Madharaasi) jo abhi release hui hai, uske actor to 6 baje pahuchte the. Wo Sikandar se bhi badi blockbuster hai". Salman also stated that both producer Sajid Nadiadwala and Murugadoss distanced themselves from Sikandar after its box-office failure. "First, Sajid left, and then Murugadoss also stepped away to work on a South film," he quipped, hinting that the team moved on quickly after the film's underwhelming performance. #Latest: On the #BiggBoss19 set, Megastar #SalmanKhan finally opened up about what went wrong with Sikandar and took a strong stand against director A.R.

Kantara: Chapter 1 and Rishab Shetty — The Cultural Blockbuster That Surpassed Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava

In 2025, Indian cinema has been defined by a spectacular clash of narratives and audience passions, exemplified by the extraordinary journeys of Kantara: Chapter 1 and Chhaava, two films that, while radically different in style and storytelling, have both captured the imagination of viewers nationwide and across the globe; Chhaava, the historical epic led by Vicky Kaushal, entered theatres with a thunderous wave of anticipation, leveraging meticulously crafted visuals, grand set pieces, heroic storytelling, and the magnetic pull of its star, immediately commanding packed advance bookings, buzzing premieres, and sold-out screenings in India and key overseas markets, culminating in an India gross of approximately ₹290.75 crore and a worldwide total nearing ₹338.75 crore by its eighth day, a feat fueled by audience fascination with its scale, historical depth, and cinematic spectacle, while Kantara: Chapter 1, the mythological action-drama rooted in Karnataka’s rich folklore, cultural traditions, and spiritual themes, carved out a different but equally remarkable path to triumph, achieving an India gross of ₹403.25 crore and worldwide earnings approaching ₹475.25 crore in the same timeframe,propelled not by conventional stardom but by storytelling that resonated deeply with viewers, glowing word-of-mouth, repeat theater visits, and pan-India engagement through Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil dubbed versions, and, in contrast, succeeded through authenticity and emotional resonance, its depiction of folklore, spiritual themes, and rural conflict turning theaters into communal experiences where audiences became ambassadors for the film; unlike big-budget spectacles, Kantara grew through word-of-mouth, repeat viewings, and sustained weekday occupancy, with its eighth-day earnings highlighting its staying power, and its cultural relevance and pan-India appeal have made it not just a regional hit, but a nationwide phenomenon, demonstrating that a story rooted in tradition can rise above even the largest epics to achieve unprecedented commercial success The clash between Kantara: Chapter 1 and Chhaava highlights two very different but equally powerful forces in Indian cinema. One thrives on cultural authenticity, emotional storytelling, and organic audience love; the other commands attention through scale, stardom, and spectacle. Both films have demonstrated that success can take many forms — whether through mythology or history, folklore or grandeur, emotional resonance or star power. In the ongoing battle of the box office, Kantara has established itself as a force to be reckoned with, proving that grounded, heartfelt storytelling can compete with even the biggest cinematic spectacles. Meanwhile, Chhaava reaffirms that larger-than-life narratives and star charisma still have unparalleled drawing power. Together, they define the cinematic landscape of 2025, offering audiences both depth and drama, soul and spectacle.

Top 10 Biggest First Week Grossers of 2025 In Hindi: Rishab Shetty's Kantara Chapter 1 Fifth

Mumbai, October 10 - Amid the dominance of outright Bollywood films, a South Indian title has also made a noise as far as the biggest first earners of 2025 in Hindi are concerned. Rishab Shetty's Kantara Chapter 1 has lived up to the expectations to score 100+ crores opening week in the dubbed Hindi version. The film's Hindi version has scored a good first-week collection of 107 crore net, making it the fifth biggest first-week grosser of 2025 in Hindi. The achievement is even more impressive considering it's a dubbed Kannada release competing with some of Bollywood's biggest franchises and star-studded blockbusters. Vicky Kaushal's mega blockbuster Chhaava is the biggest opening week grosser of 2025 in Hindi, with dominating numbers of 219 crore, setting a new benchmark for Hindi films this year. It's followed by Yash Raj Films' unexpected blockbuster Saiyaara, starring debutante Ahaan Pandey and Aneet Padda, with 173 crores, while Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR's War 2 is third in the list with 150 crores first week. Here are the top 10 biggest first-week net-grossers of 2025 in Hindi - 1. Chhaava – 219.25 crore 2. Saiyaara – 172.75 crore 3. War 2 – 150.40 crore 4. Housefull 5 – 127.25 crore 5. Kantara Chapter 1 – 106.95 crore 6. Raid 2 – 95.75 crore 7. Sitaare Zameen Par – 88.00 crore 8. Sky Force – 86.50 crore 9. Sikandar – 90.25 crore 10. Jolly LLB 3 – 74.00 crore While Chhaava continues to reign supreme with an extraordinary 219+ crore first week, Saiyaara did surprise one and all with a massive opening week. YRF's War 2, though it is the third in the list, largely underperformed considering the massive expectations had from it. Kantara 2 entering the 100 crores club within the first week is a solid result for a dubbed version. With multiple 100 crore openers and even mid-range films showing resilience, 2025 is set to hear for a solid end with a few potential blockbusters lined up to release in the remaining months.

The Title of Kartik Aaryan, Sreeleela's Romantic Drama With Director Anurag Basu Revealed

Mumbai, October 8 - Bollywood heartthrob Kartik Aaryan and actress Sreeleela teamed up for director Anurag Basu's musical romantic drama film. The film was originally supposed to be titled Aashiqui 3, but the makers dropped the idea due to copyright issues. The movie has gone through some changes. According to the latest reports, the movie is currently being reshoot for a major portion. It is said that 10 days' worth of scenes that were already shot have been completely scrapped. Meanwhile, the film has reportedly been titled Tu Meri Zindagi Hai. It has been taken for the title song of the Aashiqui film. "When choosing the title, it was a pre-emptive move by the makers to avoid making a direct reference to Aashiqui. The team wanted a name that evoked nostalgia but didn't risk legal or creative complications. Tu Meri Zindagi Hai felt like the perfect fit", says the report by Mid-Day. Aashiqui has been a cult franchise, but due to creative differences between producer Bhushan Kumar and Mukesh Bhatt before they parted ways, the makers can't use the same title as the film. But the makers feel that Tu Meri Zindagi Hai fits perfectly while avoiding legal complications. "It's a classic love story with Basu's signature treatment of the genre. With the release more than six months away, it gives the team time to weave in some additional tracks. The latest schedule is underway in Mumbai, and the film will be shot till 2025-end, with patchwork spilling on to early 2026", the report added. Produced by T-Series, Tu Meri Zindagi Hai will hit the big screens on May 1, 2026. Stay tuned...

In the playful promo, shared by Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment on X, Riteish Deshmukh revealed his wild idea for Housefull 6. The actor said he would love to see the comedy franchise turn into a horror-comedy, with a twist — all the girls in the film appearing without make-up! His tongue-in-cheek remark had everyone bursting into laughter. When Akshay Kumar was asked about his take on the theme, he couldn't resist one of his signature witty comebacks.

Abhishek Bachchan too joined the party and shared that he wishes to see Housefull 6 as a superhero film.

Ayushmann Khurrana Confirms His Next Two Films After MHCU's Thamma

Mumbai, October 8 - Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana is set for back-to-back exciting films in the next couple of years. The acclaimed actor is currently gearing up for the release of Maddock Films' horror comedy Thamma, co-starring Rashmika Mandanna in the leading role. Thamma, which is part of the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe (MHCU), is scheduled to release on October 21, on the occasion of Diwali. After Thamma, Ayushmann has confirmed two more big films. During the FICCI Frames 2025 event in Mumbai, the actor confirmed that he has films with Sooraj Barjatya and Karan Johar. Over the last few months, there have been reports that Ayushmann would be headlining director Sooraj Barjatya's next romantic family drama. Confirming the same, Ayushmann said that the film is aimed at a wider audience. It will be produced by Barjatya's Rajshri Productions. Apart from Barjatya's next, the actor also confirmed that he has a film with producer Karan Johar's Dharma Productions. While the actor didn't reveal the details for both films, it is probably the first time he has confirmed his future project publicly. The line-up looks promising, which aims to take the actor's career to new heights. Until now, Ayushmann has done films which had their limitations in terms of audience reach, as he has done movies which focus on social taboos. Going forward, the actor is now looking to do more commercial films for a larger audience, starting with Thamma, while also doing social films in between. Stay tuned...

Jolly LLB 3 Box Office: Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi's Film Holds Decently In Third Weekend, Aiming For 115 Crore Finish

Mumbai, October 6 - Superstar Akshay Kumar's courtroom comedy drama Jolly LLB 3, co-starring Arshad Warsi, has had a decent hold in its third weekend at the domestic box office, despite the arrival of two new releases in the form of Kantara Chapter 1 and Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumar. Jolly LLB 3, which had already crossed 100 crores net during the second week, started its third weekend with 1.15 crores net, getting the advantage of Dusshera and Gandhi Jayanti holiday. It scored over 50% on Saturday for around 1.75 crores net, followed by another decent jump on Sunday to mint 2.15 crores. The Subhash Kapoor directorial minted approximately 5 crores net in its third weekend, pushing total net collection to 108 crores in 17 days. The third weekend trend, though, is on the lower level overall, indicating that the movie has some gas still left, which should help it reach 115 crores lifetime net collection. Jolly LLB 2 is currently the biggest grosser of the franchise with 117 crores net collections. It needs to be seen if the third instalment can cross that figure and become the biggest net grosser of the franchise. However, the movie needs to hold extremely well on the lower level to reach that mark. Stay tuned...

Sharvari Wagh Finalised As Female Lead Opposite Ahaan Pandey In Director Ali Abbas Zafar's Romantic Actioner

Mumbai, October 5 - After the memorable debut with director Mohit Suri's Saiyaara, actor Ahaan Pandey has reportedly teamed up with Ali Abbas Zafar for his next, which is said to be a romantic actioner. The movie will be produced by Yash Raj Films, which also backed the actor's blockbuster debut. According to the latest reports, talented actress Sharvari Wagh has been finalised to play the female lead role opposite Pandey, marking another fresh on-screen pairing. Sharvari is managed by the YRF talent agency, and this marks her third lead project with the studio after Bunty Aur Babli 2 (debut film) and the upcoming spy actioner Alpha. Earlier, it was reported that Ali Abbas Zafar "wanted to go back to his roots, to the genre that has given him so much love with his next film. He was blown away seeing Ahaan Panday and his aura with emotional and dramatic scenes in Saiyaara". Ahaan was reportedly picked as the lead hero after Aditya Chopra advised his name to Zafar. The yet untitled film is currently in the pre-production stage, with the script already locked. The makers are aiming to take it on floors by the first quarter of 2026, with late in a late-year or early 2027 theatrical release worldwide. Meanwhile, Sharvari will next be seen in Alpha, co-starring Alia Bhatt and Bobby Deol, which is scheduled to release on Christmas this year. Stay tuned...

Hrithik Roshan, Jr. NTR's Box Office Shocker War 2 OTT Release Update

Mumbai, October 4 - After the shocking theatrical run, Yash Raj Films' much-hyped spy thriller War 2 is now gearing up for its digital premiere, with a hope to change its fortune. The film, which was touted as one of the biggest events of the year, is scheduled to begin streaming on Netflix from October 8, 2025, in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil. As a rule, War 2 will debut on digital platforms after completing its 8-week theatrical window, which is a must for a Bollywood film, unlike South Indian titles, which normally get available on OTT after 4 weeks, irrespective of their box office outcome. Despite sky-high expectations, War 2 failed to deliver at the box office. Being part of YRF's blockbuster Spy Universe and boasting a star-studded cast that includes Hrithik, Jr. NTR, and Kiara Advani, the sequel couldn't replicate the success of its predecessor and ended up as a box office shocker. With an estimated budget of over 400 crores, War 2 could only manage to gross around 365 crores worldwide, falling short of recovery and being tagged as a box office dud. The film opened to good numbers, but negative reviews and mixed word of mouth led to a steep drop in collections after the first weekend. While the Hindi version managed some numbers, the Telugu dubbed version underperformed drastically despite Jr NTR's presence. Now, with its Netflix release, War 2 will look to find a new life among home audiences who may have skipped its theatrical watch. Fans of the Spy Universe are still expected to tune in, especially as the film ties into the larger franchise storyline. Stay tuned...

Varun Dhawan, Janhvi Kapoor's Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari Day 1 Early Estimates: Opens On Expected Lines

Mumbai, October 2 - Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor's rom-com Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari has taken a decent start at the box office. The film began on a fair note in the morning shows and made steady progress throughout the day, getting the benefit of the holiday. However, due to the tough competition with Rishab Shetty's Kantara Chapter 1, the movie failed to make a big impact despite the big holiday, particularly on single screens where the Kannada action drama enjoyed dominance. According to early estimates, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari has collected in the range of 9–10 crore net on its opening day, which is broadly in line with trade expectations. The initial audience feedback is mixed, with appreciation performance and music, but divided opinions on the narrative and overall execution. With Saturday and Sunday still to come, the film's weekend trend will be crucial in determining whether it can consolidate its start and build momentum despite stiff competition. Stay tuned...

Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor's Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumar Box Office Preview/Opening Day Expectations

Mumbai, October 1 - Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor's romantic comedy drama Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari is gearing up for release this Dussehra, amid some expectations. Directed by Shashank Khaitan, the film has managed to catch the attention with songs and trailer, which is aimed at the family audience. It has been certified U/A by the CBFC and carries a runtime of 2 hours 15 minutes. Varun Dhawan and Shashank Khaitan are a proven combo, having delivered box office hits like Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania and Badrinath Ki Dulhania, and the expectations are no different this time either. However, unlike in the past, there are challenges for the film this time. While the trade is expecting this combo to hit the bull's eye, the ground buzz doesn't seem to be that strong. The advance booking of the film was opened a couple of days ago, but it hasn't found momentum with less than a day to go for the release. The pre-sales are proceeding at a slow pace, with the big momentum missing that usually accompanies a festive release. So far, the movie has accumulated approximately 1.40 crore in pre-sales and is heading for a finish around 2.50–3 crore gross for the opening day. This figure places the film below the advance sale of recent Bollywood releases like Jolly LLB 3 (3.23 crore gross) and Sitaare Zameen Par (3.30 crore gross), both of which managed to open in double digits on Day 1. Given the current trend, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari might struggle to reach that mark and is instead looking at an opening in the 8–10 crore net range domestically. The film does, however, benefit from the Dussehra holiday, which could give a crucial boost to its spot bookings, especially in urban multiplexes. The challenge lies in single screens, where Kantara: Chapter 1 is enjoying stronger buzz and demand, making the competition tougher for Varun and Janhvi’s outing. Directed by Shashank Khaitan and backed by Dharma Productions, the film also stars Sanya Malhotra and Rohit Saraf in supporting roles. With positive word of mouth and the holiday advantage, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari still has a chance to build momentum post its release, but its opening day numbers are likely to stay modest compared to recent big festive Bollywood launches.
