Toxic vs Dhurandhar 2 USA Advance Sales: Dhurandhar 2 Takes Massive Early Lead Over Yash Starrer With 17 Days To Go; Check Latest Figures

As the countdown begins for a high-octane clash at the North American box office, the USA premiere advance sales for Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge and Yash's Toxic have revealed an interesting trend. Latest data shared by trade tracker Venky Box Office suggests that Dhurandhar 2 is currently dominating the pre-sales charts, leaving the Geethu Mohandas directed Toxic behind in the initial phase. With only 17 days to go until the grand theatrical release, Dhurandhar 2 has secured a substantial lead in ticket bookings and screen allocation compared to the latest venture of KGF star Yash. The tracking report indicates that Dhurandhar 2 has already amassed an impressive $33,723 in advance sales. The film has established a wide footprint with 1,953 tickets sold across 151 locations and 209 scheduled shows. This strong start suggests a high level of anticipation for the sequel, which appears to have a more aggressive distribution strategy in the North American circuit at this stage. The significant number of locations already open for booking has allowed Dhurandhar 2 to dominate the early pre-sales charts. In contrast, the Yash-starrer Toxic is currently in the early stages of its USA booking journey. The Geethu Mohandas directorial has recorded $3,665 in premiere advance sales so far, with 189 tickets sold across 81 locations and 122 shows. While the film is currently trailing behind Dhurandhar 2, industry experts note that Toxic is operating with fewer shows and locations at the moment. As a pan-Indian star coming off the massive global success of the KGF franchise, Yash is expected to see a major surge in numbers once the full scale of locations and premium large formats are made available for booking. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   Toxic, described by the makers as a fairy tale for grown-ups, marks a significant stylistic departure for Yash and is one of the most anticipated releases from the South Indian film industry. On the other hand, the momentum for Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge showcases the power of an established franchise and a strong sequel pull in the international market. The current lead held by Dhurandhar 2 highlights its immediate appeal to the diaspora, while the battle for the top spot is expected to intensify as the countdown continues. While these figures are verified tracking updates from Venky Box Office, they represent the status of the box office 17 days prior to the premiere.The final rankings could shift as promotional campaigns reach their peak and more theater chains open their windows. For now, Dhurandhar 2 holds the upper hand in the USA market, setting the stage for a high-stakes box office showdown upon release.

Varanasi: R. Madhavan Reveals SS Rajamouli's Magnum Opus is a Masterful Blend of High Technology and Mythology

During an appearance on the Zero1 Network podcast, R. Madhavan shared his observations on the scale and conceptual framework of the film. Madhavan, who is reportedly part of the project’s ensemble cast, described the movie as an amalgamation of high technology and mythology. This insight aligns with earlier reports suggesting that the film will be a large-scale action adventure utilizing extensive visual effects and global production standards. Directed by SS Rajamouli and starring Mahesh Babu, the film is described as a large-scale action-adventure that reportedly centers on themes of time travel and global exploration.According to reports and early teaser breakdowns, the narrative is expected to be a globe-trotting epic spanning multiple continents—including Africa and Antarctica—while traversing different historical eras and mythological timelines.The story reportedly follows a protagonist who must navigate these various locations and periods to prevent a global catastrophe, effectively bridging futuristic science fiction with ancient Indian roots. According to Madhavan, the film represents a bold new frontier for Indian cinema. He emphasized that Rajamouli's vision for Varanasi involves using world-class VFX and state-of-the-art technical tools to tell a story deeply rooted in Indian spiritual heritage. The actor noted that the project manages to bridge the gap between ancient storytelling traditions and a futuristic technical execution, something he believes only a visionary like Rajamouli can achieve at this scale. This blend is expected to offer a visual experience that rivals the highest-budget Hollywood productions. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   The production of Varanasi is currently being hailed as one of the most ambitious undertakings in film history, with a reported budget exceeding ₹1300 crore. The film features a massive ensemble cast, led by Mahesh Babu in a role that involves high-octane sequences across various international terrains, including the African wilderness and the spiritual landscape of the city of Varanasi. Global star Priyanka Chopra Jonas is set to make her return to Indian cinema with this project, while Prithviraj Sukumaran is slated to play a powerful antagonist that challenges Mahesh Babu’s character throughout the journey. As the film continues its intensive production schedule, which has already spanned over 14 months, industry insiders suggest that Varanasi is being shot entirely in the IMAX format to ensure a truly immersive global release. With MM Keeravaani composing a score that mirrors the film's blend of modern and traditional sounds, the project is positioning itself as a major contender for international box office records. Currently, the film is locked for a grand worldwide release on April 7, 2027, a date that is already being circled by trade analysts as the next major milestone for Indian cinema on the world stage.

Netflix Wins Big Money Despite Losing Warner Bros. Deal: Here's How Much The Streamer Got

Los Angeles, February 28 - In a dramatic turn of events in Hollywood's biggest corporate battle, Netflix has emerged as an unlikely financial winner despite stepping away from its ambitious pursuit of Warner Bros. Discovery. The streaming giant ultimately exited the race after Paramount sealed a massive deal to acquire Warner Bros., triggering a lucrative payout for Netflix. According to industry reports, Netflix received a hefty termination (breakup) fee of approximately $2.8 billion after the Warner Bros.-Paramount deal was finalised. The payment was part of a previously agreed-upon clause that protected Netflix when its initial agreement with Warner Bros. Discovery was terminated in favour of a superior bid. With Paramount tabling a much higher valuation, Netflix chose not to match the offer, instead opting to walk away with a sizeable cash compensation. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The Warner Bros.-Paramount agreement is said to value the combined assets at around $110 billion, making it one of the largest media mergers in history. Netflix's earlier bid was significantly lower and focused primarily on studio and streaming assets rather than the entire conglomerate. Analysts believe Netflix's decision to step aside was strategic, helping the company avoid taking on massive debt while still benefiting financially from the outcome. The $2.8 billion windfall has strengthened Netflix's balance sheet and reassured investors, with market watchers calling it a win without ownership. The streamer now has added flexibility to invest in original content, technology upgrades, or shareholder returns, all while avoiding the operational complexities that come with absorbing a legacy media giant.

Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan's Haiwaan Strikes A Big Deal For Non-Theatrical Rights

Mumbai, February 28 - Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan-fronted crime thriller Haiwaan has reportedly locked a big non-theatrical deal much ahead of its theatrical release. The film, directed by Priyadarshan, has generated strong buzz in trade circles, thanks to its high-concept premise and the reunion of two major Bollywood stars. According to Bollywood Hungama, Haiwaan has sold its non-theatrical rights for approximately 80 crore, covering satellite, digital, and music rights. The deal is said to have been closed with Sony Network, making it one of the biggest pre-release non-theatrical agreements for a Hindi film in this genre. This strong sale underlines the confidence broadcasters and digital platforms have in the film's commercial appeal. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) With this deal in place, the makers have reportedly recovered nearly 70% of the film's overall investment even before release, significantly reducing box-office pressure. Such early recovery has become a crucial strategy for big-budget films, especially in a volatile theatrical market, and Haiwaan seems to have executed it to near perfection. Haiwaan marks a notable collaboration between Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan, whose pairing has intrigued audiences since the project's announcement. Backed by Priyadarshan's storytelling sensibilities and a strong commercial setup, the film is currently eyeing a strategically planned theatrical release in 2026, with expectations riding high both in trade and among fans.

Kerala High Court Lifts Stay On The Kerala Story 2, Clears Way For Release

Mumbai, February 27 - The Kerala High Court has lifted the interim stay imposed on the release of The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond, providing major relief to the makers of the controversial film. A Division Bench of the court overturned the earlier single-judge order that had temporarily halted the film’s theatrical release amid objections over its content and certification. The stay had been imposed following petitions questioning the Central Board of Film Certification's clearance and raising concerns over potential impact on public order and communal harmony. The single judge had directed a temporary suspension while asking the CBFC to reconsider the certification, leading to uncertainty just ahead of the film’s scheduled release. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Hearing an appeal filed by the producers, the Division Bench ruled in favour of the filmmakers and lifted the stay, observing that once a film is certified by the CBFC, courts should exercise restraint unless there is a clear and compelling reason to intervene.

The decision is expected to significantly impact the film's box office prospects, as advance buzz and controversy had already kept it in the spotlight. All eyes are now on how audiences respond as the film finally makes its way to cinemas. Stay tuned...

Dhuroxic Storm: PVR-INOX Expects 2.25 Crore Footfalls for the Historic Dhurandhar 2 vs Toxic Clash; Brands Invited

The Indian film industry is bracing for what is being touted as the most significant cinematic showdown in modern history. As the release date for March 2026 approaches, the hype surrounding the clash between Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar 2 and Yash's Toxic has reached a fever pitch. In a major move that underscores the sheer scale of this event, India's leading multiplex giant, PVR-INOX, has officially invited brands to capitalize on the massive crowd expected at their properties. The exhibition chain is projecting an unprecedented 2.25 crore (22.5 million) footfalls collectively during the release window of these two tentpole films. PVR INOX reported a stellar December quarter, with net profits surging by 166% to reach ₹95.7 crore, a massive jump from ₹35.9 crore the previous year. This growth was largely anchored by Aditya Dhar's spy thriller Dhurandhar, which grossed ₹1,300 crore worldwide. The film sold over 4 crore tickets nationwide, with nearly 50% of those admissions occurring at PVR INOX properties alone. This surge pushed the chain's overall revenue up by 10% and footfalls by 9%, successfully offsetting a 2.5% rise in operating and F&B costs. The film’s historic run contributed significantly to the 13% overall growth of the Indian box office in 2025, alongside other hits like Chhaava and Kantara Chapter One. The phenomenon, popularly dubbed Dhuroxic on social media, has become a cultural talking point since filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma first coined the term. Much like the Barbenheimer trend in Hollywood, Dhuroxic represents a rare moment where two high-budget, high-concept films from different industries (Bollywood and Sandalwood/Pan-India) collide on the same day. For PVR-INOX, this represents more than just a box office battle; it is a massive advertising opportunity. The 2.25 crore projected admissions offer brands a captive, high-engagement audience that few other platforms in the country can provide. Leading the charge on one side is Aditya Dhar's spy-thriller sequel, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge. Following the record-breaking success of the first installment in 2025—which became the highest-grossing Indian film of that year—the sequel carries immense expectations. Starring Ranveer Singh alongside a powerhouse cast including Akshaye Khanna and Sanjay Dutt, the film is expected to dominate the Northern and International markets. Trade analysts suggest that the franchise's established fan base, combined with the momentum of the previous film's ₹1300 crore global haul, makes it a safe bet for a historic opening. Cancel plans. Ghost everyone. Block your calendar. 🚨Dhuroxic Week just went feral.Two absolute cinematic monsters - #DhurandharTheRevenge and #Toxic - hitting PVR INOX on March 19.History won't wait. Neither should you.🔥Stay Tuned - it's only getting bigger!#Dhuroxic… pic.twitter.com/MaLGDTo1To— INOX Movies (@INOXMovies) February 24, 2026 (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   On the other side of the ring is Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups, directed by Geetu Mohandas. This film marks the highly anticipated return of Rocking Star Yash to the big screen after the global phenomenon of KGF: Chapter 2. With a star-studded cast featuring Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, and Rukmini Vasanth, Toxic is expected to be a juggernaut in the South Indian markets while making significant inroads in the Hindi belt. The film's gritty aesthetic and Yash's immense pan-India stardom ensure that screens will be running at 100% capacity from the early morning shows on Friday. The strategic importance of this clash is further highlighted by PVR-INOX Pictures' own financial involvement. The distribution wing has reportedly secured the Telugu theatrical rights for Toxic with a massive ₹40 crore advance, showcasing their confidence in the film's performance. As both films vie for IMAX screens and premium seating, the exhibition sector is looking at a record-shattering Eid weekend. For advertisers and trade observers alike, the Dhuroxic weekend is set to define the box office trajectory for the first half of 2026.
