The romantic comedy De De Pyaar De 2, starring Ajay Devgn, R. Madhavan, and Rakul Preet Singh, has shown a Noteworthy performance at the box office, collecting ₹44.25 crore net in India within its first five days of release.

The film kicked off its theatrical run with an opening day collection of ₹8.75 crore. It witnessed a significant jump over the weekend, earning ₹12.25 crore on Saturday and ₹13.75 crore on Sunday. However, collections saw a dip on Monday, bringing in ₹4.25 crore. The film then saw a slight increase on Tuesday, collecting ₹5.25 crore. Early estimates for Wednesday suggest a collection of around ₹1.59 crore. De De Pyaar De 2 is a romantic comedy directed by Anshul Sharma and written by Luv Ranjan and Tarun Jain.

The original 2019 film, De De Pyaar De, was directed by Akiv Ali and also starred Tabu alongside Ajay Devgn and Rakul Preet Singh. It was a commercial success, grossing over ₹143 crore worldwide. The sequel has received mixed to positive reviews from critics. Reviewers have praised the performances of the lead cast, particularly the face-off between Ajay Devgn and R. Madhavan. The film has been described as a breezy and enjoyable take on modern relationships, with a good dose of humor. Some critics, however, found the story to be stretched at times. The direction by Anshul Sharma and the writing by Luv Ranjan have been noted for attempting to explore themes of ageism, patriarchy, and family dynamics within a comedic framework.

Despite the strong weekend growth, the film's ability to sustain its momentum during the weekdays will be crucial in determining its overall box office success. The performance in its second week will be the real test for the film and will indicate its potential for a long and successful theatrical run.

The Dulquer Salmaan-starrer Kaantha has completed its first five days at the box office with a total India net collection of ₹17.5 crore. On its sixth day, a Wednesday, the film is tracking towards a collection of ₹0.73 crore, based on early estimates. This steady, albeit slower, weekday performance contributes to the film's larger success on the global stage, where its worldwide gross currently stands at an impressive ₹28.65 crore, bolstered by a strong ₹8 crore from overseas markets. Released on November 14, 2025, Kaantha is a Tamil-Telugu bilingual period drama directed by Selvamani Selvaraj. The film is set in the vibrant and tumultuous world of 1950s Madras cinema. It delves into the complex power dynamics and ego clashes between a revered director, Ayya (Samuthirakani), and his ambitious protégé-turned-superstar, T.K. Mahadevan (Dulquer Salmaan). The narrative takes a dark turn into a murder mystery, exploring the fragile balance between artistry, fame, and personal relationships.The film is co-produced by Dulquer Salmaan and Rana Daggubati under their respective banners, Wayfarer Films and Spirit Media. The cast also includes Bhagyashri Borse in her Tamil debut, alongside Ravindra Vijay and Gayathrie Shankar. While there was speculation that the film was based on the life of actor M. K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar, the filmmakers have clarified that it is a work of fiction. Kaantha has received mixed reviews, with critics praising the powerful performances, particularly by Dulquer Salmaan, and the film's authentic production design that captures the golden age of South Indian cinema. However, some have pointed to an uneven screenplay as a drawback. Take a look at Kaantha Day-Wise Box Office Collection Day 1 [1st Friday]: ₹ 4.35 Cr Day 2 [1st Saturday]: ₹ 5 Cr Day 3 [1st Sunday]: ₹ 4.5 Cr Day 4 [1st Monday]: ₹ 1.8 Cr Day 5 [1st Tuesday]: ₹ 1.85 Cr Day 6 [1st Wednesday]: ₹ 0.73 Cr (Early Estimates) Total (6 Days): ₹ 18.23 Cr Ultimately, Kaantha presents a tale of two different box office stories. While its domestic run in India is seeing a predictable weekday decline and is heading towards a respectable, but not blockbuster, total, its impressive performance overseas cannot be overlooked. The strong ₹8 crore from international markets highlights Dulquer Salmaan's significant global appeal and has substantially boosted the film's overall worldwide gross, ensuring it is a profitable venture despite its mixed reviews.

Bengaluru, November 19 - Kannada superstar Yash-fronted action drama KGF: Chapter 2 scripted history in 2022 by becoming the first Kannada movie to cross 1000 crores at the worldwide box office. However, it wasn't just a phenomenon of a few weeks; it all began with the teaser, which paved the way for what it became later on. In a landscape dominated by global entertainment giants, Yash's KGF: Chapter 2 continues to script history of its own. The film's teaser/trailer, which created a sensation upon release, still reigns supreme on YouTube, standing tall as the most-watched teaser/trailer in the world. With a staggering 278 million views, the KGF: Chapter 2 teaser/trailer reportedly sits at the very top of YouTube's all-time rankings. What makes this feat even more remarkable is the competition it outruns. The second most-watched trailer is none other than Rockstar Games' GTA 6, which stands at 269 million views, followed closely by Marvel's Avengers: Endgame at 268 million. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) For an Indian film to surpass the viewership of two of the biggest global entertainment phenomena — the most anticipated video game of the decade and one of the highest-grossing films in cinematic history — is nothing short of monumental. It reflects not just the cult following of the KGF franchise but the global reach that Yash and Prashanth Neel's world of Rocky Bhai has achieved. From the moment the teaser dropped 4 years ago on January 7 in 2021, it redefined scale and swagger in Indian cinema. The gritty atmosphere of Kolar Gold Fields, Ravi Basrur's thunderous background score, and Yash's electrifying presence created an instant mass moment. Years later, that hype has not diminished; in fact, it has multiplied by drawing new audiences, reaction channels, and international commentary. The fact that KGF: Chapter 2 stands at the pinnacle of YouTube's viewership charts is a testament to the franchise's unmatched global craze and the mass hystria it created back then and continuing to do so. In a digital world overwhelmed with content every second, Rocky Bhai's aura continues to tower above all, proving that some phenomena don't fade — they become legend. Stay tuned...

Hyderabad, November 19 - Director SS Rajamouli's action drama Baahubali: The Epic, the one long cut version of his iconic Baahubali duology, has wrapped up its epic yet unwhelming box office run. The movie has become the highest-grossing Indian re-release title, but it promised much more. Starring Prabhas in the title role, Baahubali: The Epic was unlike any other Indian re-release title. The makers promoted it as a proper new release, and it delivered results to some extent. However, the trade was expecting it to become the first Indian re-release film to gross over 100 crores, which didn't happen. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Produced by Arka Mediaworks, the film has grossed approximately 39.50 crores domestically, making it the highest-grossing re-release film in India. Overseas, The Epic minted approximately 12.25 crores, including 8.25 crores in North America, finishing at around 52 crores gross globally. These are unheard-of numbers for a reissue Indian title, which demonstrates the massive excitement it generated before its release. Baahubali: The Epic Box Office Collection | All Language | Day Wise | Worldwide In Telugu states, the film scored around 21.50 crores, while the Hindi belt delivered 8.25 crores. Overall, the movie sold approximately 23 lakh tickets in India, which is an excellent result for a re-release blockbuster. It is the third most-watched re-release film in India, after Sanam Teri Kasam and Tumbbad, which sold 23+ lakh tickets each. Baahubali: The Epic opened strongly in select territories, but its collections dropped quickly after the first weekend, signalling limited repeat value among audiences. The grand re-release — including extensive 4K restoration, IMAX screenings, and a new marketing push — had created an atmosphere similar to that of a major new release. Yet, the finish highlighted that even an iconic franchise like Baahubali cannot fully replicate its past theatrical dominance merely through nostalgia. Stay tuned...
