Box Office: 'Jaat' First Wednesday (Day 7) Early Estimates

Mumbai, April 16 - Sunny Deol-fronted action drama Jaat has another decent hold on its first Wednesday as early estimates suggest collection in the range of 3.75-4.25 crores net, which is a drop of around 30% from Tuesday. ## The total collection of the film is around 57.50 crores net in 7 days, as the first 8-day extended week is heading for 60-61 crores, which is a good collection. It has already become Sunny Deol's third biggest grosser after Gadar: Ek Prem Katha and Gadar 2 in terms of net collection. ## The second weekend will be crucial for Jaat in its pursuit to enter the 100 crores club. There is Akshay Kumar's Kesari 2, which will be tough competition for the Sunny Doel-starrer in the second weekend. However, a Good Friday holiday to begin the weekend is expected to give a boost to Jaat, which needs to be seen. ## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, April 16 - The Farhan Akhtar's directorial action thriller Don 3 starring Ranveer Singh was back in the news recently for unwanted reasons when it was revealed that Kiara Advani backed out of playing the female lead due to her pregnancy. ## The news of Kiara leaving the film left the makers searching for another able actress to play the role, but it didn't take much time of makers to find the leading lady to star opposite Ranveer. According to the report by Bollywood Hungama, Akhtar has locked Munjya fame Sharvari Wagh to replace the outgoing actress. ## "Sharvari and one more actress were being considered, but the former has managed to bag the role. The team at Excel Entertainment are excited to have her on board. Sharvari, too, is quite kicked to be a part of such a huge franchise", says the report. ## The shoot of Don 3 is expected to start by the end of this year for a grand 2026 release. As reported earlier, Vikrant Massey is also a part of the movie, however, his participation is yet to be confirmed.

Box Office: 'Jaat' First Tuesday (Day 6) Early Estimates

Mumbai, April 15 - After the good 5-day holiday period, Sunny Deol-fronted action drama Jaat has witnessed a good hold on the make-or-break first Tuesday at the domestic box office, which has put it on course to emerge as a success. ## The movie has witnessed a drop of around 20% on the first Tuesday (day 6), which is well within the normal range after the holiday, as early estimates suggest collection to be in the range of 5.75-6.25 crores net collection. This has pushed the total around 53+ crores net in 6 days. ## Jaat is heading for an extended 8-day first week in the range of 60 crores, which is a good total. The movie will have a solid competition in the second weekend in the form of Akshay Kumar's Kesari: Chapter 2, but a good hold during the weekdays will keep Jaat in the race to score in the 2nd weekend.## The coming weekend is crucial for Jaat to enter the 100 crores net club, but it has shown enough promise to emerge as a success and hit the coveted box office milestone. The movie is certain to become the second biggest domestic grosser for Sunny Deol (in terms of Net collection). Gadar: Ek Prem Katha is currently at number 2 with 76+ crores net, and Jaat will be looking to cross this figure during the weekend. ## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, April 14 - Dharma Productions' much-anticipated biographical historical drama Kesari: Chapter 2 in association with Cape of Good Films and Leo Media Collective, is getting some solid on-ground buzz, which led makers to organise early screenings across 5 cities. ## Producer Karan Johar has been supremely confident about the movie, and the inside reports are also believed to be very good. Keeping the huge anticipation in mind, the makers made a bold move to keep the fans' screenings, which are scheduled for April 16 in Mumbai, Delhi, Chandigarh, Bengaluru, and Kolkata.## The bookings for the early screenings were opened on April 14, and the response to them was excellent, as all the fan-first screenings were sold out within 10 minutes, which shows the anticipation for the film. The makers will open the advance bookings for the official release on April 15, and the trade is expecting a solid response for the same. ## Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi, Kesari 2 is the spiritual sequel to Kesari (2019). The plot is based on the book The Case That Shook The Empire, which is centred around C. Sankaran Nair and the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre. It stars Akshay Kumar in the role of C. Sankaran Nair alongside R. Madhavan and Ananya Panday.## The film is scheduled to be released on April 18. ## Tickets for the fan-first screenings are now SOLD OUT!

Box Office: 'Jaat' Fourth Day/First Sunday Early Estimates

Mumbai, April 13 - Sunny Deol's action drama Jaat has packed a solid punch on its first Sunday at the domestic box office. The film has witnessed a fantastic jump of around +40% and comfortably crossed the double-digit mark for the first time. ## According to early estimates, Jaat has scored in the range of 13.50-14.50 crores net collection on its first Sunday, pushing the extended 4-day weekend to around 40 crores net, which is a good total. This is the second biggest opening weekend ever for a Sunny Deol-starrer after Gadar 2 (135+ crores net in 3 days). ## The movie remained super solid in mass pockets, while multiplexes too have come on board and saw a healthy jump on Sunday, which was expected since the film witnessed a marginal growth in multiplexes on Saturday collections. These are positive signs which show the movie has found acceptance beyond the masses. ## Jaat will be looking at another good hold on Monday due to the Ambedkar Jayanti holiday, which might take its 5-day total to around 50 crores net. The lack of competition is also an advantage for the movie, and this is likely to help it during the weekdays, as word of mouth is positive. ## There will be a big competition for Jaat in the second weekend in the form of Akshay Kumar's Kesari 2, but if it manages to hold steady after the Monday holiday, the movie stands a very good chance to enter the 100 crores club, which should be deemed as a success for it. ## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, April 11 - Sunny Deol's action drama Jaat has seen a decent hold on its second day after the good first day collection of around 9.50 crores net. The movie is having a drop of around 20%-25% today, which was expected due to mid-week release. ## According to early estimates, Jaat is looking to score in the range of 6.75-7.25 crores net on its first Friday, which pushes its total collection to around 16.50 crores in 2 days.

Box Office: 'Jaat' Opening Day Early Estimates

Mumbai, April 10 - Sunny Deol-fronted action drama Jaat has taken a decent to good start at the domestic box office with collection flirting with double-digit opening. The response in mass belts, which is its target audience, is easily among the best of the year. ## According to early estimates, Jaat is looking to score in the range of 9-10 crores net collection, which is the 4th biggest opening for a Bollywood title of the year. The industry has been feeling the heat due to the low success ratio this year, and Jaat comes as a much-needed relief. ## The film is best in mass belts, which show an upward trend throughout the day due to positive word of mouth. However, at the same time, it is poor in metro cities, which is expected as the content of the movie is not aimed at them. ## Jaat also benefited from the poor performance of Salman Khan's Sikandar, which goes down further under the 1 crore mark, and with no hope to bounce back, the Sunny Deol-starrer has a clear road for at least a week before Akshay Kumar's Kesari 2 arrives. ## The movie is likely to see a little drop on Friday, but is expected to score well on Saturday and Sunday as the initial reception among its target audience is positive. At this point, the 4-day opening weekend is heading for 40-50 crores net, which is good. ## Stay tuned...

Shraddha Kapoor Finalizes Her Next Film After Mega Blockbuster 'Stree 2'

Mumbai, April 3 - Bollywood star Shraddha Kapoor is upping the ante after delivering one of the biggest blockbusters of Indian cinema history in the form of horror-comedy Stree 2. The actress is reportedly being flooded with scripts, and she has reportedly finalized a couple of films as the follow-up to Stree 2. ## According to the report by Pinkvilla, Shraddha has been offered films by T Series, Dharma Productions, and Excel Entertainment, among others. While the actress has shown interest in some of the films, she is reportedly teaming up with Tumbbad director Rahi Anil Barve for a unique high-concept thriller.## The yet untitled film will be produced by Ekta Kapoor, who has been discussing multiple scripts with Shraddha, and they have zeroed in on the script developed by Rahi Anil Barve. The script is locked and the actress was bowled over by the uniqueness that Rahi's story has to offer. ## It is said that the director will take around 3-4 months in pre-production, and the makers aim to start shooting by July/August 2025. It is expected to be Shraddha's immediate next after Stree 2, which was released in August 2024 and went on gross over 850 crores at the worldwide box office. ## Shraddha already has Stree 3 in the pipeline, but the report says that she will do at least 2 films before starting this Maddock Films' tentpole. Apart from the film with the Tumbbad filmmaker, the actress is in talks to reunite with her Aashiqui 2 team of director Mohit Suri and actor Aditya Roy Kapur for a love story, which will also be produced by Ekta.## Stay tuned...

Box Office: 'Sikandar' First Wednesday/Fourth Day Early Estimates

Mumbai, April 2 - Superstar Salman Khan's action drama Sikandar has had an underwhelming first three days during the Eid weekend at the domestic box office with around 74.50 crores net collection, and to make things further gloomy, it has witnessed a big drop of around 50% on its first Wednesday. ## According to the early estimates, Sikandar has scored in the range of 9.50-10.50 crores net collection on its 4th day, pushing the total collection to around 84 crores. The drop was expected as word of mouth is poor, and the fact that it was coming after the Holiday weekend. ## The film is likely to enter the 100 crores net club by Friday or Saturday, but that's no longer a milestone to brag about, as the movie is clearly failing to meet the massive expectations the trade had from it. It is now more about reaching a respectable total which will still be a tough ask going forward. ## Stay tuned...
