King: Shah Rukh Khan's Actioner Set to be His Most Expensive Project Yet at Rs. 450 Crore

Shah Rukh Khan is known for pushing the boundaries of Indian cinema, and it looks like his upcoming project, King, is set to take that ambition to a whole new level. As the superstar prepares for a major theatrical return, the scale of this collaboration with director Siddharth Anand has become the talk of the town. According to an exclusive report by Bollywood Hungama, King has officially become the most expensive film of Shah Rukh Khan's career, with a staggering budget of approximately ₹450 crore. To put this figure into perspective, it surpasses the production costs of his previous blockbusters. Jawan was produced on a budget of around ₹400 crore, while Pathaan cost roughly ₹350 crore. This massive investment of ₹450 crore for King is solely dedicated to production, excluding print, publicity, and the acting fees for Shah Rukh Khan himself. This shows a clear intent from the makers to deliver a high-octane cinematic experience that rivals global standards. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Shah Rukh Khan was last seen in the social drama Dunki, which released on December 21, 2023. This film marked a historic, first-time collaboration between SRK and ace director Rajkumar Hirani, effectively closing out Khan's monumental comeback year following the record-shattering runs of Pathaan and Jawan. Despite facing an explosive theatrical showdown against Prabhas's action epic Salaar, Dunki held its ground strongly, finishing with an India net collection of ₹227 Cr and a worldwide gross of ₹454 Cr. The contrast between that lighthearted social drama and his upcoming project, King, is staggering. While Dunki featured minimal action, King—slated for a grand December 24, 2026 release—is tracking to be an ultra-violent, stylish thriller directed by Siddharth Anand. Having recently broken records as SRK's most expensive film ever with a ₹450 crore production budget, King will feature the superstar in a gritty gangster avatar alongside his daughter, Suhana Khan, and Abhishek Bachchan. The production timeline reflects the sheer magnitude of the project. The shoot began in May 2025 and is expected to wrap up by August 2026. Over the course of nearly fifteen months, the team has shot for more than 150 days across various international locations. What started as a focused action thriller has reportedly evolved into a massive tentpole spectacle. To ensure the action sequences are groundbreaking, the production has employed some of the most renowned stunt teams in the world, aiming to provide something entirely new for the Indian audience. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) VFX is expected to play a central role in the film's visual language. Shah Rukh Khan's own company, Red Chillies Entertainment, is handling the state-of-the-art visual effects. The goal is to ensure that every penny of the budget is visible on the screen through seamless integration of practical stunts and advanced digital work. With about six months left until its scheduled release, the post-production phase is already in full swing to meet the high expectations surrounding this venture. The partnership between Shah Rukh Khan and Siddharth Anand has already proven to be a goldmine at the box office with Pathaan. However, with King, the duo seems intent on raising the bar even further. By focusing on an uncompromised product and world-class action design, the film is positioning itself as one of the most anticipated releases of the coming year. As the industry watches closely, the massive budget and extensive production schedule suggest that Shah Rukh Khan is ready to redefine the standards of the action genre once again.

50 Million Views and Counting! Dhurandhar Franchise Dominates 2026 OTT Charts; Did it Just Shatter RRR's All-Time Record?

The streaming numbers for the first half of 2026 are officially in. This year has seen some massive records being shattered, specifically by franchise hits that have managed to translate their big-screen hype into record-breaking viewership velocity on platforms like Netflix and JioHotstar. The standout performer of the year is undoubtedly Dhurandhar on Netflix. Within a 10-week sprint, the film racked up 31.1 million views, setting a new benchmark for Indian cinema in the digital space. This viewership velocity has officially surpassed the numbers generated by RRR (Hindi) within the same 10-week opening window. The franchise's strength is further highlighted by its sequel, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, which secured the second spot with 18.9 million views on JioHotstar. Together, the two films have accumulated a combined 50 million views, showcasing the incredible pull of the franchise across different streaming platforms. Another interesting case study in the 2026 OTT charts is Prabhas's The Raja Saab. The film unfortunately underperformed during its January theatrical release, but its transition to the digital space on February 6 told a completely different story. Upon its premiere on JioHotstar, the movie immediately climbed to the #1 trending position and has since gathered 10.3 million views. This highlights a growing trend where films that struggle to find a massive footing in theaters are being rediscovered and embraced by home audiences, effectively recovering their reach through streaming platforms. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Looking at the overall distribution of the top 10 most-watched films, Netflix continues to be the dominant player, hosting eight out of the top ten titles. Films like the investigative thriller Accused and the cross-cultural drama Made In Korea have performed exceptionally well, securing 16.6 million and 13.5 million views respectively. Other notable entries include Rani Mukerji's Mardaani 3 and the Akshay Kumar starrer Bhooth Bangla, both of which maintained steady viewership figures above the 10 million mark. The list is rounded off by Tere Ishk Mein, which remains a popular choice for romantic drama enthusiasts with 9.7 million views.

Ramayana India Distribution Rights Sold For 250 Crore or 350 Crore? Here Is What We Know

Mumbai, July 8 - Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana: Part 1 continues to dominate headlines even months ahead of its theatrical release. Starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, the epic has easily been the most anticipated Indian movie in the making, not just among fans but also in the trade, for its enormous box-office potential. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) As the release date gets nearer, the film distribution race is heating up. Yesterday, Variety India reported that Karan Johar's Dharma Productions has acquired the all-India distribution rights to Ramayana Part 1 in a massive 250-crore deal. While the deal is huge, it started a conversation on social media about whether the rights were really sold for 250 crores, a significant but half of what the makers reportedly quoted, as earlier reports stated a staggering 500 crore demand. Now, according to the latest report by Bollywood Hungama, Dharma Productions has reportedly secured the theatrical distribution rights for 350 crore, making it the biggest distribution deal in Bollywood history. While the official announcement hasn't been made yet, the 350 crore deal looks more believable given the massive box office potential and the distribution demand of the makers. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Dharma Productions is reportedly preparing an extensive nationwide release strategy for the epic. The project, directed by Nitesh Tiwari and backed by Namit Malhotra, stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Ravie Dubey as Laxman, and Sunny Deol as Hanuman, among many others in prominent roles. Mounted on a massive budget and envisioned as a two-part cinematic saga, Ramayana is among the most anticipated Indian films in recent years. Produced by Prime Focus Studios and Monster Mind Creations, the first instalment is scheduled for a grand worldwide theatrical release during the 2026 Diwali festive season, while Ramayana Part 2 will release on Diwali 2027.

Dhamaal 4 Advance Booking: Rs. 1.61 Cr Gross Recorded; Can the Franchise Replicate its Winning Streak?

The Dhamaal franchise has built a legendary reputation for delivering high-octane laughter, and the upcoming fourth installment is currently one of the most anticipated releases of 2026. After several shifts in the release schedule to find the perfect window, the makers have finally settled on a release date of July 10. The anticipation is visible on platforms like BookMyShow, where over 125K people have already marked their interest in the film, making it one of the most tracked Indian movies of the year on IMDb. Looking at the initial advance booking reports, the film is starting to gain momentum across the country. For the first day, Dhamaal 4 has recorded an all-India gross of 33.79 Lac. When we include block seats, this figure jumps to a much more substantial 1.61 Cr. So far, the film has sold roughly 13,475 tickets for its opening day across 3,698 shows. While the real occupancy currently sits at 1 percent, these are early numbers and the pace is expected to pick up significantly as the release day approaches. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Maharashtra is currently leading the charts among states, with a gross of 8.48 Lac and a total including block seats of 36.12 Lac from 912 shows. Delhi follows closely with a gross of 6.72 Lac, reaching 36.46 Lac with block seats. In terms of major regions, the National Capital Region (NCR) and Mumbai are the primary drivers, contributing 6.72 Lac and 6.57 Lac respectively to the opening day tally. Other markets like Gujarat and Rajasthan are also contributing, with Gujarat showing a gross with block seats of 19.59 Lac from 700 shows and Rajasthan recording 11.1 Lac with block seats. The pressure on this fourth installment is high because the franchise has a perfect track record at the box office. The original Dhamaal was a Hit with an India net collection of 33.06 Cr and a worldwide gross of 51.30 Cr. Double Dhamaal followed that success with 44.10 Cr net and 71.00 Cr worldwide gross, also earning a Hit verdict. The stakes were raised significantly with Total Dhamaal, which collected a massive 155.67 Cr net in India and a worldwide gross of 232.18 Cr, making it a Superhit. With all three previous films being successful, the industry is watching closely to see if Dhamaal 4 can maintain this 100 percent success rate. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The plot this time around follows the classic boys on a wild quest for the Treasure of Life, but with a few supernatural twists involving pirates and ghosts. Ajay Devgn returns as a quirky IRS officer, leading the veteran ensemble of Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, Jaaved Jaaferi, and Sanjay Mishra. Interestingly, the film is moving away from the franchise tradition of having no female leads. After Madhuri Dixit joined the third part, Dhamaal 4 features a larger female cast including Sanjeeda Shaikh, Esha Gupta, and Anjali Anand. Ravi Kishan also joins the chaos as a quirky pirate. The technical aspects of the film are also set for a smooth release. The Censor Board has granted a U/A 13+ certificate with a runtime of 2 hours and 23 minutes. While no scenes were cut, minor modifications were made to certain hand gestures and vocabulary to keep it family-friendly. On the music front, the soundtrack is already generating buzz. Songs like Chatni, which is a recreation of the popular track originally by Mamta Sharma, and Guru Randhawa's energetic track Qeher are trending heavily, adding to the overall excitement for the film's theatrical debut on July 10.

Welcome To The Jungle Day 12: Rs. 3.00 Cr Net Drives 13.2% Growth on Discount Tuesday; Surpasses Jolly LLB 3 and Now Chasing OMG 2 Record

Welcome To The Jungle, the third chapter in a franchise known for its mass appeal, is currently highlighting the fact that big-budget comedies still hold a special place for the family audience. The film has clearly managed to find its stride as it enters the second week of its theatrical run. It is impressive to see how the movie is holding its own in the middle of a very busy 2026 season, proving that there is still plenty of room for lighthearted entertainment. This steady performance points to a healthy level of interest from viewers who are looking for a shared cinematic experience. The film saw a positive shift on its second Tuesday, collecting a net of 3.00 Cr. This represents a 13.2 percent growth from Monday net of 2.65 Cr. Much like other films currently in theaters, the Discount Tuesday offers played a pivotal role in boosting footfalls. After twelve days of its theatrical run, the total India net collection stands at 120.55 Cr, while the India gross has reached 143.35 Cr. This performance has been supported by a consistent show count, with 6,138 shows running across the country on Tuesday. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) A closer look at regional occupancy reveals that the film remains a favorite in major urban centers. The National Capital Region (NCR) led the way with 24.3 percent occupancy, while Pune and Mumbai followed closely with 21.0 percent and 20.8 percent respectively. Other key markets like Lucknow and Bengaluru also showed steady engagement with 15.0 percent and 17.3 percent occupancy. The real story, however, lies in the impact of the Discount Tuesday offers within national chains like PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis. While Monday saw a modest of over 8,000 tickets sold with a gross of 21 Lakhs and 2 percent occupancy, Tuesday witnessed a massive surge. The film sold roughly 25,000 tickets on Tuesday, nearly tripling its Monday footfalls in these chains, resulting in a gross of about 43 Lakhs and an average occupancy of 6.4 percent. This clear spike demonstrates how much the reduced pricing helped pull audiences back into theaters after the typical Monday dip. On the digital booking front, BookMyShow recorded 54.12K tickets sold on Tuesday, an improvement over Monday 46.01K tickets. However, in the list of top 2nd Tuesday ticket sales for recent blockbusters, Welcome 3 missed the top 10 spot by a margin of about 10,000 tickets, trailing behind Sitaare Zameen Par which held the tenth position with 64K tickets. Regardless, the total tickets sold on the platform for this film have now crossed the massive 21.62 Lakh mark. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Looking at the international performance, early estimates suggest the film added 0.50 Cr on Day 12, taking its total overseas gross to 30.95 Cr. It has officially crossed the 3 Million Dollar mark and is now trending toward a 4 Million Dollar finish. According to data from Venky BoxOffice, the North America totals reached 1.11 Million Dollars, following a 17K Dollar Monday. This overseas stability pushes the estimated worldwide gross collection to 174.30 Cr. The film has shown a steady performance after its initial slow start. Having already crossed the 3 Million Dollar mark, current trends suggest it is heading toward a lifetime finish of approximately 4 Million Dollars overseas. When we analyze this against Akshay's last five releases, a 4 Million Dollar finish would put Welcome 3 on par with the international run of Kesari 2. It has already comfortably moved ahead of Jolly LLB 3's 3.2 Million Dollar total, though it still trails the stronger overseas numbers of BhoothBangla at 5.5 Million Dollars and the 7 Million Dollar benchmark set by Housefull 5. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) By reaching 174.30 Cr, Welcome 3 has officially surpassed the lifetime collections of Jolly LLB 3, which stood at 171 Cr. This move elevates the film to the 4th spot among the actor's highest-grossing releases in the post-pandemic era. It now sits behind the top three performers: Sooryavanshi at 293 Cr, Housefull 5 at 288 Cr, and OMG 2 at 221 Cr. While the next target is technically OMG 2, the gap of nearly 47 Cr is substantial, and reaching it will depend entirely on how the film survives the upcoming screen crunch. The real challenge for Welcome 3 starts now. While it has its own dedicated audience, the arrival of Alpha and the upcoming release of Dhamaal 4 on July 10 will create a severe screen crunch. This looming threat means that exhibitors will have to make tough choices regarding show timings. For a movie that is already twelve days into its run, maintaining momentum during such a transition is difficult. However, its ability to grow on a weekday suggests that if it can hold onto its core screens.

Alpha Day 5: Discount Tuesday Boosts Film to Register 10.4% Growth with Rs. 4.25 Cr Net Bollywood

Alpha Day 5: Discount Tuesday Boosts Film to Register 10.4% Growth with Rs. 4.25 Cr Net

Alpha has been the subject of intense discussion since its release, carrying the weight of massive expectations as a major 2026 tentpole. The film arrived with significant buzz, fueled by its franchise power and high-scale production, though the initial audience reaction has been a bit of a mixed bag. While some are praising the technical finesse, others remain skeptical about the narrative depth, leading to a polarizing word of mouth that is now playing out in the daily box office trends. After a noticeable crash on its first Monday, which is often a testing point for any big release, the film has managed a surprising recovery on Day 5. Alpha collected a net of ₹4.25 Cr this Tuesday, marking a 10.4% growth compared to Monday net of ₹3.85 Cr. This uptick is largely attributed to the Discount Tuesday phenomenon, where lower ticket prices across major chains helped pull in the crowds that stayed away during the Monday slump. It is a logical trend in the current market where price sensitivity often dictates weekday footfalls. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Looking at the domestic performance, the film has now reached a total India net collection of ₹42.10 Cr. When we factor in taxes, the India gross stands at ₹50.23 Cr. These numbers have been achieved across 36,025 shows in total, with 7,173 shows running on Day 5 alone. The ticket booking platform BookMyShow reflects this Tuesday surge clearly, with 82.92K tickets sold on Tuesday compared to 73.52K on Monday. This brings the total tickets sold on the platform to approximately 764.97K so far. A closer look at the national chains including PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis provides more context. For the day, these major chains sold roughly 46,000 tickets, resulting in a gross of approximately ₹71 Lakhs. The average occupancy across these platforms stood at about 7.6% from nearly 2,890 shows. Regionally, the National Capital Region (NCR) continues to be the strongest performer with a healthy 30.3% occupancy, while Mumbai and Pune followed with 18.8% and 18.0% respectively. Markets like Ahmedabad and Surat are trailing slightly lower, highlighting a clear urban-skew in the film's appeal. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) On the international front, based on early estimates, Alpha added ₹1.50 Cr on its fifth day, pushing the total overseas gross to ₹19.80 Cr. In North America specifically, the film benefited from the Tuesday discounts, earning $95K (approx ₹79 Lakhs) by 7pm PST from 394 locations. This follows a Monday gross of $55K (approx ₹46 Lakhs), bringing the total North American tally to $630K (approx ₹5.26 Cr). Combining these figures, the worldwide gross collection is estimated to be around ₹70.03 Cr at this stage. The road ahead for Alpha is undeniably challenging. While the Tuesday growth provides a temporary breather, the film needs to maintain this momentum to recover its heavy costs. The competition is stiff, with holdover releases like Welcome to the Jungle and Main Vaapas Aunga still occupying significant screen space. The real test arrives on July 10 with the release of Dhamaal 4. This new entry will trigger a severe screen crunch, making the task of allotting shows a tedious one for exhibitors. Without a completely one-sided positive word of mouth, Alpha might find its breathing window further squeezed, making the upcoming second weekend a do-or-die situation for its lifetime box office prospects.

The evening and night shows will play a crucial role in determining the extent of the growth. If walk-in bookings improve as expected, Alpha could register a solid increase over Monday's business, keeping its first-week total on a respectable trajectory.

According to the filmmaker, both actors were originally expected to be part of the project, but scheduling conflicts and prior work commitments made it impossible to align their dates with the film's shoot. Ahmed Khan clarified that the decision had nothing to do with creative differences. Instead, he explained that coordinating a massive ensemble cast of over 30 actors proved to be a major logistical challenge, with matching everyone's schedules becoming increasingly difficult during production. The director also offered a positive update for fans by hinting that the beloved duo could reunite in a potential Welcome 4. He added that Anil Kapoor and Nana Patekar remain an important part of the franchise's family, leaving the door open for their return in the next installment. Responding to the criticism surrounding the missing characters, Ahmed Khan noted that films are often judged before release. However, he pointed out that Welcome To The Jungle has managed to connect with audiences despite the skepticism, crossing the ₹100 crore mark at the Indian box office within just 10 days of its theatrical run. 01:15 PM (IST) 07 JUL 2026 Welcome To The Jungle Day 12 Live Update: Afternoon Surge Pushes Net to ₹117.92 Cr; BMS Sales See 30% Growth Welcome To The Jungle is witnessing a visible surge in momentum as it enters the afternoon window on its second Tuesday.

Furthermore, the movie is Akshay's 4th consecutive film to enter the ₹100 crore net club, setting a new record for a Bollywood actor post-pandemic.

Starring Diljit Dosanjh, Nasserudin Shah, Vedang Raina, and Sharvari, the film has collected an estimated 58.25 crore net (69.30 crore gross) at the Indian box office in 25 days.

Satluj: Ram Gopal Varma Reacts to Diljit Dosanjh's Banned Film; Calls it a Deep Wound That Will Never Heal

The Indian film industry is currently witnessing a rare and intense standoff involving the film Satluj. After a grueling four-year battle with the censor board, the movie was quietly released on ZEE5 on July 3, 2026, without any prior marketing or announcement. However, the victory for the filmmakers was short-lived. Within just 48 hours, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting forced the streaming platform to take the movie down in India, citing national security concerns. This sudden ban has only served to amplify the conversation around the film, with veteran filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma being one of the first major voices to speak out in its favor. Ram Gopal Varma, known for his own history with gritty and realistic cinema, described Satluj as a deep wound that will never heal. He noted that the film serves as a form of confrontation rather than mere entertainment. RGV specifically praised the way director Honey Trehan chose a slow-burn investigative approach instead of sensationalizing the horror. He highlighted that any art that makes the powerful this uncomfortable has successfully done its job, further emphasizing that the truth hits harder when someone tries to hide it. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The controversy surrounding the film is as complex as its production history. Originally titled Ghallughara, the project faced a demand for 127 cuts from the censor board. The makers subsequently changed the title to Punjab '95 and finally to Satluj to bypass authorities and reach the audience. While government officials have accused the team of being misleading to avoid compliance, the film has found a massive audience abroad. Despite being banned in India, it remains available on ZEE5 Global in markets like the US and Canada, leading to a massive 374% surge in international app downloads. At its heart, Satluj is a biographical crime drama based on the real-life crusade of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra. Diljit Dosanjh delivers what many are calling a career-defining performance as Khalra, a bank manager who unearthed a paper trail exposing thousands of illegal extrajudicial cremations in Punjab during the 1990s. Arjun Rampal also features in a significant role as a morally complex CBI officer navigating the institutional rot within the system. RGV commented on this specifically, stating that Diljit acts with a quiet fury that replaces typical chest-thumping heroism with a ledger and a conscience. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Just saw SATLUJ and it is not a film , but a deep wound that will never heal. It stirs up the sludge in one of the darkest chapters of our history This is cinema used as confrontation , where @diljitdosanjh acts with a quiet fury with no chest thumping heroism.. His only weapons…— Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) July 7, 2026 The film is being compared to classics like Gulzar's Maachis for its emotional weight and historical honesty. By focusing on bureaucratic files and cremation records rather than exploitation, the movie creates a hard-hitting reminder of the dark chapters in modern history. The fact that Jaswant Singh Khalra himself disappeared and was murdered shortly after making his findings public adds a chilling layer of realism to the narrative. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) As it stands, Satluj has become more than just a movie; it is a point of national debate regarding censorship and the freedom of artistic expression. While Indian viewers are currently blocked from watching it legally, the massive international traction and the vocal support from industry figures like RGV suggest that the film's impact will linger far longer than its 48-hour stay on Indian streaming servers. It serves as a courageous piece of filmmaking that chooses truth over popcorn spectacle, proving that some stories simply refuse to be silenced.

Government Responds To The Removal of Diljit Dosanjh's Satluj From ZEE5; Sets Up High-Level Committee To Review The Controversial Film

Mumbai, July 7 - The Central Government has responded to the controversy surrounding the removal of Diljit Dosanjh's Satluj from ZEE5, stating that the decision was taken in view of national security concerns and issues related to the film's certification process (as per ANI). The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) has also constituted a high-level Inter-Departmental Committee (IDC) to conduct a detailed review of the film's content. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to Information and Broadcasting Ministry sources, the IDC was set up on Monday, a day after ZEE5 took down Satluj from its platform. The committee has been tasked with examining the film, which is inspired by the disappearance of Punjab-based human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra, and will assess whether any further action is required under the existing legal and regulatory framework. Explaining the takedown, ANI reported, citing government sources, that the film was released on the OTT platform without completing the mandatory certification process. Officials claimed that the project, which was earlier developed under the title Punjab 95, had faced objections during certification and was released as Satluj without resolving those issues. The Centre maintained that the removal directive was issued in accordance with the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Directed by Honey Trehan and starring Diljit Dosanjh in the lead role, Satluj is based on the life of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra and depicts events linked to Punjab during the militancy era. The film premiered on ZEE5 before being removed from the platform following the government's direction, triggering widespread debate over censorship, freedom of expression, and regulatory oversight of OTT content. With the formation of the Inter-Departmental Committee, the government has now initiated a formal review of the film. The committee's findings are expected to play a key role in determining the Centre's next course of action and could influence whether Satluj returns to streaming in the future or faces additional regulatory measures.

Toxic: Yash's Epic Challenges Spider-Man as BMS Interests Explode Ahead of Global Release

The mid-2026 cinematic window is shaping up to be one of the most competitive periods in recent box office history. As major domestic and international titles prepare for their theatrical debuts, BookMyShow interest trends provide a fascinating look at which films are currently capturing the audience’s imagination. From massive superhero sequels to technically ambitious epics from master directors, the diversity of content is driving high engagement across the board. Leading the pack with massive traction is Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which currently boasts over 636k total interests. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the film explores a Peter Parker operating in complete anonymity in a world that has forgotten him. Starring Tom Holland and Zendaya alongside new additions like Sadie Sink and Mark Ruffalo, the movie is adding a steady 8k interests daily as it approaches its July 31 release. Close behind is the pan-Indian spectacle Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups. Starring Yash in a dual role, this ₹500 crore period gangster epic has amassed 619k interests. Even with its August 26 release still weeks away, the buzz surrounding Geetu Mohandas's vision and the powerhouse female cast of Nayanthara and Kiara Advani is undeniable. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is carving its own unique path with 226k interests. This project is making history as the first narrative feature shot entirely on IMAX film cameras. While early trailers sparked internet debates over Robert Pattinson's modern dialogue choices, official first reactions from critics have described it as a visual masterpiece. With a nearly three-hour runtime and a cast featuring Matt Damon and Anne Hathaway, the film is set to hit theaters on July 17. The daily growth of 2k interests suggests that Nolan's technical ambition is outweighing any social media polarization. In the comedy and drama segments, Dhamaal 4 is generating healthy momentum with 121k total interests. The Ajay Devgn-led ensemble is currently adding 4k daily likes, showing strong nostalgia for the franchise as it gears up for a July 10 launch. Meanwhile, Awarapan 2 has crossed the 150k milestone. The legacy sequel marks the return of Emraan Hashmi to his iconic role as Shivam. Directed by Nitin Kakkar, the film completed principal photography in June and is eyeing an August 14 release.

Ramayana Distribution Deal: Dharma Productions Secures Indian Rights for Nitesh Tiwari's Epic

The landscape of Indian cinema is preparing for what could be its most monumental theatrical event yet. Nitesh Tiwari's mythological epic, Ramayana, has remained a constant subject of fascination since its announcement. In a significant development for the film's domestic prospects, Variety India has exclusively reported that Karan Johar's Dharma Productions has officially secured the Indian distribution rights for this ambitious project. The deal comes after a rigorous selection process by producer Namit Malhotra, the CEO of DNEG and Founder of Prime Focus. To find the right partner for a project of this scale, Malhotra reportedly showcased an edited 30-minute footage of the film to several major studios. The visual spectacle and craftsmanship shown in this sneak peek reportedly left Dharma Productions impressed, leading to deep negotiations. While initial discussions for the distribution rights were said to have started at a staggering ₹500 crore, the deal was eventually finalized at ₹250 crore. This partnership ensures that the film will benefit from Dharma’s extensive reach and marketing expertise across the Indian market. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) While Dharma Productions handles the domestic front, the film's global footprint is equally impressive. Warner Bros. Pictures has been brought on board to distribute the first installment overseas, marking a rare collaboration between a major Hollywood studio and an Indian mythological epic for a Diwali release. This dual distribution strategy highlights the producer's vision to position Ramayana not just as a national event, but as a global cinematic milestone. The project boasts one of the most high-profile pan-India ensembles ever assembled. Ranbir Kapoor leads the cast as Lord Rama, with Sai Pallavi portraying Goddess Sita and Yash taking on the role of the formidable Ravana. The supporting cast is equally star-studded, featuring Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman and Ravie Dubey as Lakshman. The wider cast includes industry veterans and popular stars like Lara Dutta as Kaikeyi, Rakul Preet Singh as Surpanakha, and Arun Govil—who famously played Rama in the original television series—now appearing as King Dashrath. The scale of the production is further elevated by its musical score, which is a historic collaboration between Hollywood maestro Hans Zimmer and the legendary AR Rahman. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, known for his work on Dangal and Chhichhore, the film is set to be released in two parts. By focusing on a character-driven narrative supported by world-class visual effects from DNEG, the production aims to bring a fresh yet faithful perspective to the timeless epic. With the distribution partners now locked in both locally and internationally, the path is clear for Ramayana to dominate the theatrical space when it arrives this Diwali.

Welcome To The Jungle Day 11: Movie Nets Rs. 2.65 Cr on Second Monday Showing Decent Momentum

Welcome To The Jungle, the third installment in the popular comedy franchise, has officially completed its second Monday in theaters. While the film saw a decent second weekend, the transition into the work week has brought a significant decline in its collection momentum. On its 11th day, the movie earned a net of ₹2.65 Cr across India from 5,972 shows. This represents a 72.8% drop from the second Sunday net of ₹9.75 Cr, which is a fairly steep fall even by weekday standards for a big-budget ensemble film. With this addition, the total net collection in India has reached ₹117.55 Cr. When we look at the gross figures, the domestic total stands at ₹139.90 Cr. Internationally, early estimates indicate that the film added ₹0.50 Cr on its 11th day, bringing the total overseas gross to ₹30.45 Cr. According to data provided by Venky Box Office, the film earned $52K [approx ₹44L] in North America on Sunday, taking its total in that region to $1.09M [approx ₹9.07 Cr]. Collectively, the worldwide gross collection for Welcome To The Jungle now stands at ₹170.35 Cr. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The digital ticket tracking on BookMyShow also reflects this slowing pace. On its second Monday, the platform recorded 46.01K ticket sales, which is a sharp drop from the 139.57K tickets sold on the second Sunday. This brings the total BookMyShow sales to approximately 21.08 lakh tickets. Interestingly, when compared to other major releases in the 2025-26 period, Welcome To The Jungle missed a spot in the top 10 list for second Monday BMS sales. It currently sits at the 11th position, trailing behind films like Housefull 5 and Jolly LLB 3. Looking at the performance within major national chains, the numbers remained modest. PVR recorded about 3,500 ticket sales, resulting in a gross of approximately ₹10.6L from 846 shows with 2.3% occupancy. INOX saw nearly 3,400 tickets sold, bringing in roughly ₹7.4L across 730 shows at 2.4% occupancy. Cinepolis contributed around 1,600 tickets for a gross of about ₹3.4L from 433 shows with 1.8% occupancy. In total, these top three chains accounted for approximately 8,500 tickets and a gross of roughly ₹21.35L from about 2,000 shows, with an overall occupancy of around 2.22%.

However, the film faced a tougher time in Gujarat, where Ahmedabad recorded 8.3% occupancy and Surat dropped to a low of 4.0%.

Alpha Box Office Collection Day 4: Film Nets Rs. 3.85 Cr on First Monday Amidst a Sharp Decline in Momentum

Alpha has officially hit the first Monday mark, and the performance suggests a challenging road ahead. As the first female-led spy thriller in the YRF Spy Universe, this Shiv Rawail directorial featuring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari Wagh takes a bold step by focusing on an emotional origin story rather than typical spy tropes. However, the film has faced a sharp crash in collections today, with numbers dropping over 70% compared to Sunday. For a big-budget action franchise of this scale, such a steep decline in momentum during the weekday transition is not ideal and indicates that the movie is struggling to find a steady grip at the box office. On its fourth day, the film collected a net of ₹3.85 Cr in India. This comes after a solid opening weekend, but the Monday test shows a 70.9% drop compared to Sunday net collection of ₹13.25 Cr. While a dip is expected after the weekend, a drop of over 70% suggests that the film is finding it challenging to maintain its initial momentum during the work week.

Cinepolis saw around 1,800 tickets sold for a gross of about ₹4L from 600 shows, recording 1.5% occupancy.

After seventeen days in theaters, the film has reached a total India net collection of ₹92.55 Cr. While the movie began its journey with a powerhouse opening week of ₹70.50 Cr, the subsequent weeks have seen a sharp and concerning decline. Although the film is indeed battling a massive screen crunch due to newer tentpole releases, the primary issue lies with the word of mouth, which hasn't been strong enough to sustain interest. In an environment where audience appreciation typically drives longevity, the mixed reception has made it difficult for the sequel to maintain its momentum against the heavy competition. The third weekend began on a quiet note this past Friday, with the film collecting ₹0.75 Cr net. However, as is often the case with urban comedies, it saw a significant jump on Saturday, growing by 53.3% to earn ₹1.15 Cr. Sunday followed with another 8.7% rise, bringing in ₹1.25 Cr. This brings the three-day weekend total to approximately ₹3.15 Cr. When we look at the cumulative figures, the India gross now stands at ₹110.35 Cr, achieved across more than 1,01,000 shows since its release.

Friday saw 12.94K tickets sold, Saturday peaked with 19.25K, and Sunday maintained a decent hold with 17.62K tickets. In total, the film has sold over 1.6 million tickets on the platform to date. In the national chains like PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, the film sold over 15,000 tickets during the third weekend, with Sunday being the busiest day. Specifically for Sunday, around 7,400 tickets were sold across these chains. PVR led the weekend contribution with 3,800 tickets, followed by INOX with 2,100, and Cinepolis with 1,500 tickets. The occupancy for Sunday sat at an average of 6.5%, reflecting the limited screen space currently available. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The global performance remains a highlight, with the film grossing a total of ₹140.40 Cr worldwide. This includes an overseas contribution of ₹30.05 Cr. In the North American market, Cocktail 2 continues to find takers; data from Venky Box Office shows it collected $16K on Saturday, taking its total in that region to $1.42M. While these international numbers are respectable, the domestic market remains the primary focus as the film nears the 100 Crore milestone. The journey from the second week to the third has been particularly difficult for the film. After a solid opening weekend of ₹47.50 Cr, the collections suffered a significant 75% drop in momentum. While a severe screen crunch caused by the arrival of Alpha, Welcome to the Jungle, and Main Vaapas Aaunga certainly limited its reach, the primary challenge has been the lack of strong word-of-mouth. Typically, films that resonate deeply with audiences manage to find their way even with fewer screens, but the mixed reception for this sequel has made it hard to sustain footfalls. With a landing cost of ₹150 Cr, the film is now in a tough spot as it struggles to recover its investment against the current box office trend. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The big question now is whether Cocktail 2 can cross the ₹100 Cr net mark in India. It currently needs about ₹7.45 Cr to reach that goal. Given that the entire third weekend only generated a little over ₹3 Cr, reaching the century mark will be a steep uphill battle. Unless the film manages a miraculous hold during the weekdays or regains some screens in the coming week, it might fall just short of that coveted three-figure milestone.

Welcome To The Jungle 2nd Weekend: Sunday Growth Pushes India Net to Rs. 21.75 Cr; Worldwide Gross Sails Past Rs. 165 Cr Milestone

Welcome To The Jungle, the third installment of the beloved comedy franchise, has successfully navigated its second weekend at the box office, hitting a significant milestone in the process. After a steady first week that brought in ₹93.15 Cr, the film has now officially crossed the ₹100 Crore net mark in India. This achievement is particularly noteworthy as it marks Akshay Kumar’s 21st film to enter the prestigious 100 Crore club, further solidifying his position as one of the most consistent stars in the industry. The second weekend began on a slightly quieter note on Friday with a net collection of ₹4.50 Cr, showing an 18.2% drop from the previous day. However, the film witnessed a strong resurgence as the weekend progressed. On Saturday, collections jumped by 66.7% to reach ₹7.50 Cr, and the growth continued into Sunday with a final net collection of ₹9.75 Cr, representing a 30.0% rise. By the end of its 10th day, the domestic net total stands at ₹114.90 Cr, while the India gross has reached ₹136.80 Cr across a massive 95,403 shows since its release.

Cumulative sales on BMS have now reached 2.06 million, ranking the film at the 9th spot among the top ticket-sellers for the 2025-26 season. This puts it in a competitive position alongside other major hits like Dhurandhar2‌ and Chhaava. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In the national chains including PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, Sunday emerged as the strongest day of the second weekend. On Day 10, these major multiplexes sold approximately 39,000 tickets, resulting in a gross collection of ₹1.30 Cr.

Regional occupancy data for Day 10 highlights a strong performance in major circuits. Ahmedabad was a standout performer with 38.8% occupancy across 380 shows, even reaching as high as 62% for evening screenings. The National Capital Region (NCR) saw 32.0% occupancy from 639 shows, while Mumbai and Pune maintained steady levels at 31.0% and 33.3%, respectively.

While the domestic gross has reached a final figure of ₹136.80 Cr, the international numbers for the second Sunday are currently based on early estimates.

In the North American circuit, data shared by Venky Box Office indicates that the film collected $73K on Saturday, taking its total in that region to a cumulative $1.04M. In addition to his domestic success, Akshay Kumar has reached a significant international milestone with this release. Following the performance of Bhooth Bangla earlier this year, Welcome To The Jungle has become his 31st film to gross over $1 million in the North American market. This achievement further narrows the gap in the list of highest $1M+ grossers by Bollywood actors in North America, where he now trails only Shah Rukh Khan, who currently holds the top spot with 32 films. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) This performance has allowed Welcome To The Jungle to secure a spot among Akshay Kumar's most successful films in the post-pandemic era.

While the second weekend numbers are decent, the trade will be looking at how well it holds on the weekdays to see if it can challenge the lifetime collections of Jolly LLB 3 or even OMG 2 in the coming weeks.

Why Was Diljit Dosanjh's Satluj Removed From ZEE5? Controversy Grows After Sudden Withdrawal

Mumbai, July 6 - Diljit Dosanjh-fronted Satluj has been removed from ZEE5 in India just two days after its release, surprising viewers and sparking fresh debate around censorship and political pressure in the entertainment industry. The streaming platform confirmed the removal through a short statement, saying the film is currently unavailable in India until further notice due to ongoing developments. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) While ZEE5 has not revealed the exact reason behind the decision, the film had already been surrounded by controversy before its release. Satluj is based on the life of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra, a politically sensitive subject that has faced public and legal scrutiny over the years. The project was earlier linked to the title Punjab 95 and faced multiple delays during the certification process. According to several reports, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) demanded more than 120 cuts before approving the film, prompting criticism from supporters of artistic freedom. It is believed that the sudden removal may be connected to the release of an allegedly uncut version on OTT, which could have triggered fresh legal or regulatory concerns. However, no government authority or official source has publicly confirmed this claim so far. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Satluj may have paused. But the conversation it started hasn’t.Thank you for the incredible love.We hope to bring it back soon.#Satluj pic.twitter.com/Ox3MZIBvlT— ZEE5Official (@ZEE5India) July 5, 2026 The decision quickly sparked reactions on social media, with many users questioning the lack of transparency behind the removal. Diljit Dosanjh also reacted online, posting a message that many interpreted as criticism of attempts to silence important stories and historical narratives. Despite being removed in India, reports suggest that Satluj may still be available in international regions through ZEE5's overseas platform. The controversy has once again reignited discussions around censorship, creative freedom, and the challenges faced by films dealing with politically sensitive subjects in India.

Alpha Opening Weekend Box Office: First Female-Led Spy Film Marks the Weakest Opening in YRF Spy Universe History with Rs. 34 Cr Net

The YRF Spy Universe has grown into a massive cinematic force over the years, starting with the Tiger franchise and reaching new heights with films like Pathaan and the recent War 2. While the series has traditionally been dominated by male leads, Alpha marks a significant milestone as the first female-centric film in this action-packed universe. However, looking at the box office trajectory, the franchise has seen a bit of a downward trend since the release of War 2. Alpha has now completed its first three days with a domestic net collection of ₹34.00 Cr, while the India gross stands at ₹40.80 Cr. Although the numbers are lower than its predecessors, the film showed steady growth each day, indicating a fair level of interest in this new direction for the spy saga. The journey began on Friday with a net collection of ₹9.25 Cr. On its opening day, the film was showcased across 7,534 shows with an average occupancy of 20.0%. It was a fair start, but the real momentum was expected over the weekend. On Saturday, Alpha saw a healthy jump of 24.3%, bringing in ₹11.50 Cr net. The number of shows slightly decreased to 6,882, but the occupancy improved to 25.0%, indicating that the word of mouth was beginning to settle in. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The growth continued into Sunday, which is currently seeing early estimates for its overseas and worldwide totals. The domestic net collection for Day 3 stands final at ₹13.25 Cr, marking a 15.2% rise from Saturday. The film utilized 7,439 shows on its third day, and the occupancy peaked at 29.0%. Overseas, the film is estimated to have collected ₹5.00 Cr on Sunday, pushing the total international gross to ₹18.00 Cr. The overall worldwide gross for the opening weekend currently stands at an estimated ₹58.80 Cr.

Breaking this down by chain, PVR was the top contributor with 33,000 tickets sold and a gross of ₹1.40 Cr at 13% occupancy. INOX followed with 20,500 tickets and a gross of ₹0.80 Cr at 9% occupancy, while Cinepolis accounted for 9,500 tickets and a gross of ₹0.31 Cr with an occupancy of 7%.

Interestingly, cities with fewer shows often saw higher engagement; for instance, Bengaluru had 289 shows with 31.3% occupancy, and Hyderabad managed a healthy 31.8% across 218 shows. Other key markets like Surat and Pune maintained steady footfalls with 27.0% and 27.3% occupancy from 268 and 241 shows, respectively. Across all these major regions, the evening shows consistently performed best, with Hyderabad even hitting 49.0% occupancy during the peak period. While the collections are decent on their own merit, a comparison with other films in the YRF Spy Universe shows that Alpha has had a relatively quiet start. It currently stands as the weakest release in the franchise in terms of opening weekend collections. However, given that it is a female-led actioner, the steady growth from Friday to Sunday is a positive sign. Here is how the YRF Spy Universe movies rank based on their India net opening weekend collections: (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) YRF Spy Universe Opening Weekend Comparison - India Net Pathaan: ₹ 280.75 Cr (Wednesday Release) War 2: ₹ 175.75 Cr (Thursday Release) War: ₹ 166.25 Cr (Wednesday Release) Tiger Zinda Hai: ₹ 114.93 Cr (Friday Release) Ek Tha Tiger: ₹ 100.57 Cr (Wednesday Release) Tiger 3: ₹ 44.50 Cr (Sunday Release) Alpha: ₹ 34.00 Cr (Friday Release) The coming weekdays will be crucial for Alpha to maintain its momentum. Since the growth has been consistent over the weekend, the trade will be watching closely to see if the film can hold steady on Monday and beyond to ensure a successful lifetime run at the box office.
