Mumbai, July 27 - The excitement surrounding director Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana: Part 1 continues to grow as fresh details about the film's ending and its long-awaited trailer have surfaced. During the film's panel at San Diego Comic-Con, the filmmaker confirmed that the first instalment will conclude on a major cliffhanger, setting the stage for the second chapter. While it may not be a shocking part for Indian audiences, it may definitely lead to massive excitement among international audiences. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Comparing the narrative structure to epic two-part sagas, Tiwari explained that the story naturally demanded a split, allowing the first film to build towards an emotionally charged ending rather than rushing through the entire epic. The update comes just days after the film's trailer was unexpectedly postponed from its originally planned global launch. Producer Namit Malhotra had announced that the trailer would be delayed, citing unforeseen circumstances, despite it being scheduled to debut at Comic-Con before releasing online worldwide. According to the latest reports, the trailer is now expected to be dropped online on July 29 and will be attached to Spider-Man: Brand New Day print in cinemas from July 30, giving audiences their first full look at the ambitious mythological epic on the big screen. As already made official, Ramayana will be distributed by Sony Pictures, the studio behind Brand New Day, internationally. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The two-part format will allow the makers to explore the Ramayana with greater depth, while the cliffhanger ending is expected to leave audiences eagerly awaiting the conclusion. Ranbir Kapoor, who portrays Lord Ram, recently revealed that some of the film's biggest moments, including the face-off between Lord Ram and Yash's Ravana, have not yet been filmed, underscoring the massive scale and ongoing production of the duology. Yash, meanwhile, has described portraying Ravana as one of the most challenging roles of his career, promising a fresh interpretation of the iconic antagonist. Produced by Namit Malhotra and Yash, Ramayana stars Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, Yash, Sunny Deol, and Ravi Dubey in key roles. The first film is slated for a Diwali 2026 release, with Part 2 scheduled to arrive during Diwali 2027, making it one of the most ambitious Indian film franchises ever mounted.

The Dhamaal franchise has always been a crowd-pleaser, and the fourth installment is proving that the brand still has plenty of legs at the box office. After seventeen days in theaters, Dhamaal 4 has officially crossed the significant ₹200 Crore milestone in worldwide gross collections. Despite being in its third week, the film managed to find a second wind over the weekend, showing that family audiences are still turning up in good numbers for a light-hearted cinematic experience. This momentum is likely to continue as there is no major competition in the market right now, and with no notable releases scheduled for the coming week, the film has a clear runway to keep adding to its total. The third weekend started with a quiet but steady Friday, where the film collected a net of ₹2.25 Cr across 5,995 shows. However, the real story began on Saturday, as the film witnessed a massive 100 percent growth, doubling its collections to reach ₹4.50 Cr. This momentum carried forward into Sunday, which saw a further 36.7 percent climb to ₹6.15 Cr. This strong weekend performance has pushed the total India net collection to ₹149.55 Cr, bringing it just inches away from the ₹150 Crore domestic net benchmark. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Looking at the occupancy trends, Sunday (Day 17) recorded a healthy overall occupancy of 34.52 percent. The afternoon and evening shows were the busiest, recording 43.77 percent and 44.46 percent respectively. When we break this down by region, Mumbai led the way with 28 percent overall occupancy, peaking at 45 percent during evening shows. The National Capital Region followed closely at 25.8 percent. Interestingly, while the morning shows started slow across all major hubs, the jump during the later half of the day was consistent, especially in Ahmedabad where afternoon and evening slots hovered around the 31 to 38 percent mark. The performance across the three major national cinema chains—PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis—mirrored the broader growth trend and served as a crucial driver for the urban audience. Starting on Friday with a combined gross of 1.35 Cr, the chains saw a massive leap on Saturday, jumping over 100 percent to reach 2.71 Cr. The momentum reached its peak on Sunday with a total of 3.29 Cr collected across these chains. Specifically, PVR grew from 65 L on Friday to 1.45 Cr on Sunday, with occupancy rates climbing from 14.12 percent to a healthy 31.86 percent. INOX followed a similar pattern, ending Sunday with 1.30 Cr at 30.43 percent occupancy. Even Cinepolis witnessed its occupancy triple from 10.13 percent on Friday to 30.45 percent by Sunday, showcasing a strong resurgence in urban interest. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) This steady climb was also visible in the digital bookings on BookMyShow, where ticket sales jumped from 37,660 on Friday to 88,780 on Sunday. In total, the third weekend alone contributed over 206K ticket sales to the platform, bringing the cumulative total to 2,589,600 tickets booked so far. These national chains and digital platforms have effectively been the backbone of the urban run, contributing significantly to the total India gross of 177.93 Cr and ensuring the film remains a preferred choice for family audiences even in its third week. On the international front, the film has managed to add steady numbers even in its third week. Overseas collections stood at ₹0.35 Cr on Sunday, taking the total overseas gross to ₹23.85 Cr. When combined with the domestic gross, Dhamaal 4 stands at a worldwide total of ₹201.78 Cr. Here is the detailed day-wise breakdown for the third weekend: Day 15 (Friday): ₹2.25 Cr India Net | 11.0% Occupancy Day 16 (Saturday): ₹4.50 Cr India Net | 19.0% Occupancy Day 17 (Sunday): ₹6.15 Cr India Net | 27.0% Occupancy Total Overseas Gross: ₹23.85 Cr | Total Worldwide Gross: ₹201.78 Cr (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Dhamaal 4 - 3rd Weekend Box Office Breakdown (India)DAYINDIA NET COLLECTIONSHOW COUNTDay 15 (Friday)₹ 2.25 Cr5,995Day 16 (Saturday)₹ 4.50 Cr5,195Day 17 (Sunday)₹ 6.15 Cr5,184CUMULATIVE TOTAL₹ 149.55 Cr156,195 As the film moves into its third week, the focus remains on whether it can dethrone Total Dhamaal, which currently stands as the highest-grossing film in the franchise. With a domestic gross of 177.93 Cr and an impressive 6,787,165 footfalls so far, Dhamaal 4 only needs another 5.75 Cr to surpass the 183.68 Cr lifetime domestic gross of its predecessor. However, the global crown might be harder to reach; Total Dhamaal had a massive overseas presence with 48.50 Cr in collections, which is significantly higher than the 23.85 Cr Dhamaal 4 has managed so far. Surpassing that 232.18 Cr worldwide mark remains a big question. That said, with no major competition currently and a clear runway through the weekdays, Dhamaal 4 has a strong chance to at least claim the title of the domestic leader for the franchise.

Chennai, July 27 - Tamil star Dhanush has addressed the criticism surrounding Raayan's National Award win, responding with humility after the film's victory sparked a heated debate on social media. Following the announcement of the 72nd National Film Awards, many cinephiles questioned the jury's decision to honour Raayan as the Best Tamil Film, arguing that critically acclaimed releases such as Meiyazhagan and Maharaja were more deserving of the recognition. Rather than dismissing the criticism, the actor-filmmaker acknowledged the differing opinions and offered a measured response. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Speaking at a recent public event, Dhanush admitted that there were "definitely better films" released in Tamil cinema during the eligibility period. He said he understood why fans of other films were disappointed and respected their views. However, he also pointed out that awards are often unpredictable and do not always go to the films or performances that audiences expect. According to Dhanush, every artist experiences both victories and disappointments, and he believes that recognition comes at the right time. The actor reflected on several of his own acclaimed films that many fans believed deserved National Awards but ultimately missed out. He mentioned titles including Pudhupettai, Mayakkam Enna, Maryan, Vada Chennai, Karnan, 3, and Raanjhanaa, saying that despite widespread appreciation, they did not receive the honour. Dhanush noted that he accepted those outcomes without resentment and viewed the awards as part of a larger journey rather than the ultimate measure of a film's quality. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Dhanush also urged audiences to celebrate the achievement instead of focusing solely on the controversy. He emphasised that Raayan was made with sincerity and hard work, and that every member of the team had given their best. He added that while criticism is inevitable, it should not overshadow the efforts of the filmmakers and technicians who contributed to the project. His comments were widely appreciated for their honesty and humility, with many social media users praising the actor for acknowledging the criticism instead of reacting defensively. Released in 2024, Raayan marked Dhanush's second directorial venture and emerged as one of the year's biggest Tamil commercial successes. The film was praised for its intense action, emotional storytelling, and strong performances, eventually earning recognition at the National Film Awards. Although the debate over the winners may continue, Dhanush's graceful response has been widely seen as a reminder that awards can be celebrated without diminishing the accomplishments of other deserving films.

Mumbai, July 24 - Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana has taken another significant step towards becoming a global cinematic event. Sony Pictures Entertainment has officially come on board as the international distributor for the two-part epic. Interestingly, the agreement is said to be a Free of Cost (FOC) distribution deal, meaning Sony has not paid an upfront acquisition fee to the producers. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Instead, the Hollywood studio will invest heavily in the film's worldwide marketing campaign, underlining its confidence in the project's global appeal. According to a report by Pinkvilla, Sony has committed USD 25 million (approximately 235 crore) towards the international marketing and publicity of Ramayana. The producers will contribute an additional USD 15 million (approximately 140 crore), bringing the film's total marketing expenditure to USD 40 million (approximately 375 crore). Such a promotional budget is virtually unheard of for an Indian film and reflects the makers' ambition of launching Ramayana on the scale of a major Hollywood blockbuster. The report further states that Ramayana: Part One is expected to be mounted on a budget of around 1,500 crore, including production and marketing costs. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Meanwhile, the combined budget for both instalments is estimated to be close to 3,000 crore, making it comfortably one of the most expensive film franchises ever produced in Indian cinema. With Sony handling the international rollout and Karan Johar's Dharma Productions releasing the film in India, the makers are aiming for an unprecedented global theatrical launch. On the release front, Ramayana: Part One is currently being lined up for Diwali 2026. While Diwali falls on November 8, the makers are understood to be considering October 30 and November 6 as the two potential release dates, as reported earlier. The earlier date is reportedly being preferred to secure an IMAX release, as Godzilla Minus Zero is expected to occupy IMAX screens from November 6 onwards. An official announcement regarding the final release date is expected in the coming weeks.

Mumbai, July 23 - Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has appealed to students protesting over the NEET paper leak to end their demonstrations and return home after Prime Minister Narendra Modi assured strict action against those responsible.

Sharing a note on social media, Salman wrote, "The students are at top priority, educationally and security-wise, so they need not worry and have their parents worried for them.

Mumbai, July 23 - The release schedule for the much-awaited Ramayana: Part 1 trailer has become clearer after a series of updates surfaced online.

However, the film's team has since clarified that the official online release time is 8:00 AM IST, confirming that fans worldwide will be able to watch the trailer on the film's official digital platforms at that time.

Chennai, July 21 - Thalapathy Vijay's Jana Nayagan is gearing up for a massive theatrical release after a long delay, with expectations soaring as it marks the superstar's final film. The H. Vinoth directorial has had a tough road due to a censorship dispute with the CBFC, resulting in a prolonged delay. In between, the film was also reportedly leaked online, further causing damage to its box office potential. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The impact of the long delay in release and online leak is clearly visible in advance bookings. While the film has recorded an impressive 50 crore in worldwide bookings (so far), the numbers are being viewed as solid rather than sensational, especially given that this is Vijay's final film. The biggest talking point is that the advance sales are not matching the pace of some of Vijay's previous releases. Bookings have been building steadily instead of witnessing the explosive sell-outs that many in the trade had anticipated. Expectations were sky-high, with some even predicting that the film would challenge the biggest booking records in Tamil cinema. Instead, the current trend suggests a strong response, but not an unprecedented one. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) This has naturally led to the biggest question: Can Jana Nayagan still deliver a 100 crore worldwide opening day? The possibility certainly exists, but it will now depend heavily on spot bookings and last-minute momentum. Tamil Nadu is expected to generate phenomenal occupancy on the opening day, while overseas markets continue to perform well. However, unlike films that virtually secure massive openings through pre-sales alone, Jana Nayagan still has significant ground to cover over the final days before release. That said, writing off the 100 crore mark would be premature. Vijay remains one of Indian cinema's biggest box office draws, and his films have traditionally witnessed massive walk-in audiences. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The trade is currently predicting an 80-100 crore worldwide opening, which will be a solid start, but won't be anywhere near the previous film of the actor. If the bookings accelerate in the final stretch and same-day ticket sales explode as expected, Jana Nayagan could still reach the coveted milestone. But based on the current trend, the race to a 100 crore worldwide opening has become far more intriguing than many had expected a few weeks ago.
