T-Series Boards Kartik Aaryan's Captain India as Co-Producer; Shimit Amin Set to Direct

T-Series has officially come on board as a co-producer for the Kartik Aaryan-starrer Captain India. As first reported by Bollywood Hungama, the production giant joins the project alongside original producer and writer Harman Baweja, adding significant muscle to the film's scale and reach. The film also marks the high-profile return of director Shimit Amin, who is stepping back into the director's chair after a 17-year hiatus. Amin is widely respected for helming the cult classic Rocket Singh: Salesman Of The Year (2009) and the legendary sports drama Chak De! India (2007). The collaboration between Kartik Aaryan and Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series has become a reliable success formula in Bollywood. The duo has previously delivered four massive hits: Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (2018), Pati Patni Aur Woh (2019), Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (2022), and the recent blockbuster Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 (2024).

Dhurandhar Clinches Top Spot on Netflix India; Dhanush's Tere Ishk Mein and De De Pyaar De 2 Maintain Strong Momentum

Dhurandhar has claimed the top position on Netflix India’s movie charts for the week ending February 15, 2026. The latest rankings see the action blockbuster leading a list that combines recent theatrical premieres like Anaganaga Oka Raju and Tere Ishk Mein with a seasonal resurgence of romantic library titles for Valentine's Week. Ajay Devgn's De De Pyaar De 2 maintains its momentum, marking over 39 days on the Top 10 list since its streaming debut. Interestingly, the charts witnessed a resurgence of evergreen titles, with Rani Mukerji's Mardaani 2 and Ayushmann Khurrana's Dum Laga Ke Haisha re-entering the Top 10, likely triggered by recent franchise announcements and social media nostalgia. The current trending list underscores a clear trend: films with strong theatrical legs tend to dominate the Netflix rankings within their first month of digital premiere. Dhurandhar, which shattered several records during its opening weeks, has maintained a high conversion rate on OTT. Similarly, Tere Ishk Mein, marking Dhanush's return to the Hindi-speaking market under Aanand L Rai's direction, continues to draw massive viewership in the North Indian circuits. Below is a breakdown of the theatrical performance and digital standing of the current top-performing titles: Top 10 Films on Netflix India (As of Now) RANK MOVIE NAME #1 Dhurandhar #2 Anaganaga Oka Raju #3 Thalaivar Thambi Thalaimaiyil #4 Tere Ishk Mein #5 Mardaani 2 #6 Haq #7 De De Pyaar De 2 #8 Vadh #9 Dum Laga Ke Haisha #10 Bachna Ae Haseeno (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   While new releases hold the top rungs, the bottom half of the Top 10 reveals an interesting shift in consumer behavior. The presence of Bachna Ae Haseeno and Dum Laga Ke Haisha suggests that Netflix’s algorithm is successfully pushing high-rated library content to newer audiences. For producers, this digital second life provides a steady stream of secondary revenue, often surpassing the original satellite rights valuation. Netflix India Top 10: Latest Streaming Stats and Viewership Records 1. Tere Ishk Mein: A global breakout for Dhanush and Kriti Sanon. In its second week, it garnered 12.1 million viewing hours globally, ranking in the Top 10 across 18 countries including the UK and Malaysia. 2. De De Pyaar De 2: Demonstrating exceptional stamina, the film has maintained a Top 10 spot in India for over 39 consecutive days. It also peaked at #6 on the Global Non-English film charts. 3. Haq: The Yami Gautam and Emraan Hashmi starrer dominated the charts throughout January, maintaining a Top 5 position globally for non-English films for four consecutive weeks. 4. Mardaani 2: The 2019 thriller saw a massive resurgence, re-entering the Top 10 following the theatrical buzz and release of Mardaani 3 on January 30, 2026. 5. YRF Classics (Bachna Ae Haseeno & Dum Laga Ke Haisha): Both titles re-entered the Top 10 mid-month as part of a Valentine's Week special, peaking in popularity on February 14.

Indian OTT Sector Undergoes Massive Correction As Original Content Volume Declines For Second Consecutive Year

Indian OTT Sector Undergoes Massive Correction As Original Content Volume Declines For Second Consecutive Year

The Indian streaming landscape, which witnessed an unprecedented boom during the pandemic, is now facing a significant structural reset. According to the latest data from Ormax Media, the supply of Indian streaming originals has continued its downward trajectory in 2025. Following an 18% drop in 2024, the number of original shows across major platforms has declined by another 13%, falling below the 300-mark for the first time since 2020. In an exclusive report by Variety, prominent creators Sudip Sharma, Prosit Roy, and Tanuj Chopra shared insights into this shifting ecosystem where risk aversion is the new norm. The current contraction is largely viewed as a necessary correction after a period of overheating. Sudip Sharma, the acclaimed creator behind Paatal Lok and Kohrra, noted that the rapid commissioning seen during the COVID-19 lockdown led to a saturation point where output exceeded the industry's actual capacity. Sharma explained that the ecosystem lacked enough seasoned filmmakers and writers to sustain such high volumes, which ultimately compromised content quality. As growth slows, streamers have pivoted from experimentation to a play safe strategy, making it increasingly difficult for unconventional or left of center narratives to find backing. The business logic governing Indian OTT platforms has undergone a fundamental transformation. Tanuj Chopra, who helmed the recent seasons of Delhi Crime, suggested that the shift is driven by subscriber economics rather than a lack of creative ambition. While the initial strategy focused on producing a wide variety of shows to acquire new users, platforms are now prioritizing stickiness among existing subscribers. Streamers are currently concentrating their resources into fewer, high-impact, commercial titles rather than spreading budgets across numerous smaller projects. This math-over-emotion approach aims for scale, targeting the remaining untapped market with big-ticket productions. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   Beyond financial metrics, the sheer time required to develop long-form content is impacting industry trends. Prosit Roy, creator of the upcoming Amazon Prime series Rakh, highlighted that the development cycle for a premium show—from multiple script drafts to pre-production—often exceeds a year. This extended commitment has led many creators to migrate back toward feature films, which offer a shorter turnaround time. Roy emphasized that while streaming provides unique depth for character development, the rigorous demands of the medium naturally limit the volume of high-quality shows that can be produced annually. Perhaps the most concerning aspect of this reset is the rising entry barrier for emerging talent. The collective sentiment among industry insiders is that the current environment is particularly hostile toward new voices. With platforms becoming more cautious, the appetite for backing unproven creators has diminished. Chopra warned that while creators are resilient, the audience suffers the most in this scenario as the breadth of available storytelling options shrinks. Despite the visible decline in commissions, creators remain optimistic about the power of quality storytelling. The consensus remains that while the era of mindless abundance has ended, well-executed and rooted stories will continue to find an audience, even within a leaner and more disciplined market.

Dhurandhar 2 Runtime Revealed: Ranveer Singh's Sequel Shaves Off Minutes From Prequel But Maintains Epic 3-Hour Storytelling

Dhurandhar 2 Runtime Revealed: Ranveer Singh's Sequel Shaves Off Minutes From Prequel But Maintains Epic 3-Hour Storytelling

The upcoming espionage sequel Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has finalized its theatrical duration, officially locking in at 3 hours and 28 minutes (208 minutes). While the runtime confirms the film as one of the most expansive releases in recent Indian cinema history, it sits slightly behind the massive footprint of its predecessor. The first installment, Dhurandhar, carried a colossal runtime of 3 hours and 35 minutes (215 minutes), a figure that was notably bolstered by a critical 4-minute post-credit sequence. This segment served as a narrative bridge between the two chapters, setting a franchise trend for long-form, immersive storytelling that prioritizes character depth over traditional condensed action formats. The decision to maintain a runtime exceeding the three-hour mark follows the immense commercial success of the first film, which redefined box office benchmarks for the spy-thriller genre. The original Dhurandhar amassed a historic ₹838.32 Cr Net in India, with its domestic gross crossing the ₹1005.65 Cr mark. Globally, the film reached a staggering ₹1305 Cr, supported by a strong overseas performance of ₹299.35 Cr. The prequel's ability to sustain high theater occupancy despite its 215-minute length proved the audience's appetite for director Aditya Dhar's detailed geopolitical world-building, which was further intensified by an A certificate—a first for lead actor Ranveer Singh. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   The franchise's narrative began by exploring the Indian intelligence response to the 1999 IC-814 hijacking and the 2001 Parliament attack. The plot centered on Intelligence Bureau chief Ajay Sanyal's activation of a covert program utilizing death row inmates as operational assets. The first chapter concluded with lead asset Jaskirat Singh Rangi uncovering a deep-seated link between the ISI and the Karachi underworld. After seizing control of the syndicate, Rangi was left positioned to execute a high-stakes kill list, a plot point that was explicitly teased in the first film's extended post-credits scene. Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge picks up directly from this transition, shifting the narrative gears into a relentless pursuit across borders. The sequel focuses on the protagonist operating under the identity of Hamza Ali Mazari as he targets the elusive Major Iqbal to dismantle the criminal-intelligence network established in the first film. By opting for a 208-minute duration, the production seeks to provide a comprehensive resolution to the cliffhangers introduced in the prequel. The film's substantial runtime reflects a commitment to maintaining the gritty, unhurried pace that turned the original into a runaway hit.

The Kerala Story 2 Director Hits Back at Kerala CM, Says Film Is Rooted in Facts

Mumbai, February 18 - The controversy surrounding The Kerala Story 2 continues to escalate after director Kamakhya Narayan Singh strongly responded to remarks made by Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, who had criticised the film for allegedly spreading misinformation and communal hatred. Reacting to the CM's statement, Kamakhya Narayan Singh defended his film, asserting that The Kerala Story 2 is not propaganda but a cinematic portrayal based on real incidents. The director said that dismissing the film outright amounts to "closing one's eyes to reality" and claimed that the issues highlighted in the movie are drawn from documented cases and news reports. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) "It's a fact-based film. There is this kind of thing happening all over the country where love is used to trap girls, to change the demography of the country. It's important that the country knows the facts, about the situation in the country, how the girls are being trapped, and that is why we've made this film", the director said to India Today. Singh further stated that every scene and narrative thread in the film is grounded in facts, adding that storytelling should not be silenced simply because it addresses uncomfortable subjects. According to him, the film attempts to raise awareness about social issues that are often ignored or brushed aside, and questioning its intent without engaging with the facts is unfair. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The Kerala Chief Minister, however, has maintained his stance, accusing the makers of spreading false narratives that could harm the state's secular fabric. Despite the political pushback, the director has stood firm, reiterating that The Kerala Story 2 aims to spark discussion rather than division. With strong reactions pouring in from political circles and social media alike, the film has once again found itself at the centre of a heated national debate — one that mirrors the controversy faced by the first installment. Whether the discourse will shift public perception or further polarise opinions remains to be seen. Stay tuned...

Director Navjot Gulati Makes Emotional Appeal to Maddock Films For Mrunal Thakur and Huma Qureshi's Pooja Meri Jaan Release

Mumbai, February 19 - Pooja Meri Jaan, starring Mrunal Thakur and Huma Qureshi, continues to remain unreleased despite being completed years ago. The film, produced by Maddock Films, has once again come into the spotlight after director Navjot Gulati publicly expressed his anguish over the prolonged delay and urged the producers to finally release the project. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to the director, Pooja Meri Jaan was completed as early as August 2022 and has been ready for release since then. However, despite the passage of more than three years, the film has neither seen a theatrical release nor arrived on any OTT platform. The lack of clarity around its distribution has left the director in a state of uncertainty, with no official communication on when, or if, the film will be released. Breaking his silence, Navjot Gulati (via Variety India) made an emotional public appeal to Maddock Films and its head Dinesh Vijan, stating that repeated attempts to get updates have gone unanswered. Gulati expressed deep frustration, claiming he feels helpless after years of waiting and follow-ups. What makes the situation more painful for him is that releasing the film was his late father's last wish, a promise he has been unable to fulfil so far. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film was originally planned for a direct-to-digital release, with discussions reportedly held for an OTT premiere. However, changes in the streaming landscape and prolonged negotiations over valuation stalled the process. Since then, the project has remained stuck, with no confirmed OTT partner or alternative theatrical plan in place. Gulati also alleged that Maddock Films doesn't care about small films since it is doing well with bigger titles. Not just Pooja Meri Jaan, there are a couple of other small films that remain unreleased, produced by Maddock. As of now, there is no official statement from the studio regarding the current development. Stay tuned...

Mumbai, February 17 - Trouble has emerged for filmmaker Aditya Dhar and his production banner B62 Studios, as the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has reportedly moved to permanently blacklist the company for repeatedly violating civic and police norms during the shoot of Dhurandhar 2 in Mumbai. According to reports, the action follows multiple complaints related to unauthorised filming activities in South Mumbai. Civic officials have alleged that the production carried out shoots on a building terrace without requisite permissions and deployed generator vans beyond what was officially approved. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) These repeated breaches prompted the BMC’s local ward office to escalate the matter to senior authorities with a recommendation for strict action. The situation reportedly worsened after the Mumbai Police flagged safety violations on set. Despite clear instructions prohibiting the use of flammable materials during late-night shoots, the production allegedly went ahead with scenes involving burning torches, leading to police intervention and seizure of props. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Officials claim that the crew failed to comply with conditions laid down while granting filming permissions, raising concerns over public safety. As per the proposed action, B62 Studios could be permanently barred from applying for filming permissions in Mumbai, along with the forfeiture of security deposits and imposition of monetary penalties. If enforced, the move could complicate future schedules for the banner in the city, though it is not expected to directly impact the planned release of Dhurandhar 2. Directed by Aditya Dhar and headlined by Ranveer Singh, Dhurandhar 2 is among the most anticipated Hindi films of 2026, being a sequel to the massively successful Dhurandhar. It is scheduled to be released on March 19. Stay tuned...

Dhurandhar Surpasses Chhaava to Become the Longest Trending Indian Movies on BookMyShow: Check Out the Complete Top 10 List

BookMyShow's Trending feature has evolved into a definitive metric for theatrical longevity, moving beyond opening weekend hype to reflect consistent, ground-level ticket sales. In the latest update for 2026, two major releases—the spy-actioner Dhurandhar and the historical biopic Chhaava—have set a new benchmark for audience retention, officially becoming the longest-trending Indian films since the feature's inception. As of mid-February 2026, both Dhurandhar has clocked 59 days on the charts, surpassing the previous record of 58 days held by the 2025 all-time blockbuster, Chhaava. This sustained digital presence mirrors their box office dominance; Dhurandhar has utilized its high-octane scale to drive repeat viewership, while Chhaava has relied on strong word-of-mouth to maintain steady footfalls. Together, they have effectively monopolized the theatrical window for nearly two months, turning impressive starts into massive lifetime collections. The list is dominated by content-driven hits and massive spectacles, with Malayalam cinema showing incredible retention with entries like Premalu, Manjummel Boys, and the recent Lokah Chapter 1. Below is the list of Top 10 longest-trending Indian films on BookMyShow.

Premalu (53 Days): Holds the #1 spot for the longest-trending Malayalam movie in the post-feature era. It crossed 1 million ticket sales and registered over 86.6K+ votes, indicating high user interaction. 5. Pushpa 2: The Rule (53 Days): The most-watched film in BMS history with 20.41 million tickets sold. It set a record of selling 100,000 tickets per hour and was boosted by a Reloaded version released in Jan 2025. Longest Trending Movies (Rank 6-10) 6. Manjummel Boys (50 Days): A massive hit with approximately 4.3 million tickets sold. It became the highest-grossing Malayalam film in Tamil Nadu and held a theatrical presence for over 70 days. 7. Kalki 2898 AD (49 Days): Crossed a milestone of over 1.3 crore tickets sold, placing it in the top four films in platform history. It frequently reclaimed top sales spots even seven weeks after release. 8. Jawan (48 Days): Sold over 750,000 tickets in advance bookings alone. The film maintained a high volume of shows (171,034+) up to Day 47 and crossed 300,000 interests prior to release. 9. Lokah: Chapter 1 (46 Days): The first-ever Malayalam film to cross 5 million ticket sales on BookMyShow. It dominated screens for over 6 weeks with daily earnings reported well into its 7th week. 10. Mahavatar Narasimha (42 Days): Registered 500k+ ticket sales within just the first three days. The animated spectacle holds an exceptional rating of 9.6/10 based on over 325K+ votes. The trending data proves that while opening day numbers grab headlines, longevity is determined by content. Stree 2 and Premalu are prime examples of films that refused to slow down. However, the current dominance of Dhurandhar that approached the 60-day mark—signals a healthy theatrical ecosystem in 2026 where audiences are supporting films for months, not just weeks.

Drishyam 3 To Have Different Story In Hindi and Malayalam

Mumbai, February 14 - The much-anticipated Drishyam 3 is shaping up to be a unique cinematic experiment, as the makers have reportedly decided to go ahead with different storylines for the Hindi and Malayalam versions. While both films will carry forward the essence of the Drishyam franchise, centred on suspense, family, and moral dilemmas, the narrative paths will reportedly diverge to suit regional sensibilities and character arcs. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In Malayalam, Mohanlal will once again reprise his iconic role of Georgekutty. The Malayalam Drishyam series has always been the original blueprint, and reports suggest that Drishyam 3 will explore deeper psychological consequences and long-term repercussions of the events from the first two films, staying rooted in Kerala's socio-cultural backdrop. On the other hand, the Hindi version led by Ajay Devgn is expected to take a more commercially expansive route. While inspired by the Malayalam narrative, the Hindi Drishyam 3 will reportedly feature fresh twists, altered character motivations, and a different investigative angle, ensuring that audiences who have followed both versions still get a new experience. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) With both versions being developed independently, Drishyam 3 could become one of the rare Indian franchises where regional storytelling differences play a central role, making the climax and resolution unpredictable, even for fans familiar with the original series. The Malayalam version, directed by Jeethu Joseph, is scheduled to release on April 2, 2026, while the Abhishek Pathak-directed Hindi version will hit the big screens on October 2, 2026.
