Mumbai, October 31 - Ishaan Khatter and Mrunal Thakur's war drama film Pippa has been in production for a long time. Directed by Raja Krishna Menon, the movie was supposed to be released in December last year but was postponed due to the delay in the post-production work. ## A few months back, it was revealed that "Pippa" would be shifted to 2024 as the movie is VFX heavy and needed more time for the same.

The battle paves the path for India’s triumph, as Captain Mehta rises to the occasion and leads his troops to victory.## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Fukrey 3 Four Weeks Collection; To Remain Under 100 Crores Net Mark

Mumbai, October 27 - Excel Entertainment's comedy entertainer Fukrey 3 will fall short of the 100 crores net box office mark after the promising start. However, the movie has done its job and performed much better than what the trade was expecting before the release. ## Directed by Mrigdeep Singh Lamba, the third instalment of the hit franchise has completed 4 weeks in theatres since its release on September 28. The movie has scored approximately 95.25 crores net and will likely score another 50 lakhs more to finish around 96 crores final net collection.## "Fukrey 3" opened to a decent collection before putting in a good opening week of 66 crores. At that time, it looked like it would reach 100 crore net but to competition with new releases and the mixed word of mouth, the movie failed to carry the same momentum into the next weeks. ## Despite not being able to enter the coveted 100 crores net club, "Fukrey 3" is a box office hit and maintains the 100% success ratio of the franchise. It also emerged as the highest net-grosser movie of the franchise, topping its predecessor "Fukrey Returns" which minted approximately 80 crores net. ## At the worldwide box office, the movie has earned approximately 127 crores gross, including an estimated 14.50 crores overseas collection. It is the highest-grosser film in the franchise, followed by "Fukrey Returns" which grossed approximately 112 crores. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Ganapath and Yaariyan 2 First Week Collection

Mumbai, October 27 - Tiger Shroff and Kriti Sanon's sci-fi actioner Ganapath - A Hero Is Born completes its first week with a no-so-great-looking box office collection. Directed by Vikas Bahl, the film was expected to have, at least, a decent success but failed miserably without putting any challenges. ## "Ganapath" took the opening of just 2.50 crores net, and due to poor reviews, it failed to grow over the week and scored approximately 11.80 crores net collection in the first week. It is the lowest first-week collection ever for Tiger Shroff. ## There is not much to say about the film's box office performance as the numbers speak for themselves. Tiger was hoping to make a strong comeback with this movie but now, it should be a wake call for him to pick the right subject. The lifetime collection of the film is heading for below 15 crores net which is disastrous. ## Yaariyan 2, which was released on the same day as Ganapath, met the same fate with the below-par first-week collection. Unlike Ganapath, there were hardly any expectations from this romantic drama film, but even by that standard, the collection is really poor because "Yaariyan 2" is a sequel to a hit film. ## Directed by Radhika Rao, and Vinay Sapru, "Yaariyan 2" scored just 2.75 crores net collection in its first week and the lifetime is heading towards finishing below 5 crores. Overall, it was a disastrous week at the Bollywood box office as far as the new releases are concerned and this dull phase is likely to continue till Diwali when the highly-awaited "Tiger 3" will be released. ## Stay tuned...
