Mumbai, March 4 - Tere Naam has once again demonstrated its long-lasting appeal at the box office. Re-released in limited theatres across India, the 2003 romantic drama has managed to score around 1.50 crore gross mark within just five days, a decent outcome for a film that completed over two decades since its original release. The film had a respectable opening weekend collection of around 80 lakh net (95 lakh gross) and is doing decently in weekdays with a total net collection after 5 days of around 1.20 lakh net. For a catalogue title with restricted shows, these numbers underline the okay response among audiences.

Sunny Deol Begins Shooting For Excel Entertainment's Antony; Cast Details Revealed

Mumbai, March 3 - After the success of Bollywood star Sunny Deol is gearing up for his next set of films. With a couple of films already lined up for release this year, the actor has started shooting for Excel Entertainment's action thriller film Antony in Mumbai. According to the reports, the shooting of Antony kicked off on February 27 and is expected to be wrapped up by July this year. Billed as a suspense-driven action thriller that features Deol in a full-fledged action role, Antony is being directed by debutante Balaji Ganesh, who has previously assisted AR Murugadoss on numerous big-scale projects. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Antony features Jyothika as the female lead, while Vijay Varma reportedly was roped in to play the main antagonist.

The Kerala Story 2 vs The Kerala Story Box Office: The Sequel Lags Far Behind In The Opening Weekend

Mumbai, March 3 - The much-anticipated sequel The Kerala Story 2 hit theatres this weekend, but its opening weekend performance has turned out to be a major underperformance when compared to the sensational debut of the original The Kerala Story. Despite strong pre-release buzz and continued controversy around the franchise, the sequel has failed to recreate the box office storm of its predecessor. In its opening weekend, The Kerala Story 2 managed to collect around 10 crore net at the Indian box office. The film had a delayed release on Friday, with shows starting after 6 PM due to the ban, before collections picked up marginally over Saturday and Sunday, but overall footfalls remained far lower than expectations. Legal hurdles, delayed screenings in several regions, and muted word-of-mouth clearly impacted the film's initial momentum. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In contrast, The Kerala Story had delivered a phenomenal opening weekend of approximately 35 crore net upon its release in 2023. Backed by intense nationwide debate and massive curiosity, the original film recorded a strong Friday opening and witnessed explosive growth over the weekend, laying the foundation for its blockbuster theatrical run. The stark gap between the two films highlights how sequels do not always benefit from the success of the original. While The Kerala Story 2 still has room to grow in the coming days, its opening weekend numbers indicate that matching, or even coming close to, the box office impact of The Kerala Story will be an uphill task. However, on the positive side, the cost aren't high for the film so it can turn out to be decent success in the long run. Stay tuned...

Dhurandhar The Revenge: One Of The Longest Indian Films In The 21st Century

Mumbai, March 1 - Ranveer Singh-fronted spy action thriller Dhurandhar: The Revenge seems to have hit the paddle when it comes to the theatrical runtime. The film continues to grab attention as one of the most ambitious Indian films of recent times, and the latest update has raised eyebrows in the trade with an unthinkable runtime. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to fresh reports, the film has now been listed with a significantly longer runtime in overseas markets, pushing it close to the four-hour mark. It is said that Dhurandhar 2 is mentioned with a runtime of 3 hours and 49 minutes, which is notably higher than the earlier reported duration of around 3 hours and 40 minutes. If this listing remains unchanged at the time of release, the film will rank as the longest in recent history and among the longest Indian films made in the 21st century. The extended duration hints at a larger-than-life narrative, with the makers seemingly opting for an expansive storytelling approach rather than trimming the film for commercial convenience. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) For a contemporary action thriller franchise, such a runtime is rare and underlines the scale and confidence backing the sequel. After LOC: Kargil (2003), which remains the benchmark at approximately 4 hours 15 minutes, Dhurandhar 2 is reportedly the second-longest Indian film this century. Lagaan is reportedly third with 3 hours and 44 minutes. While the nearly four-hour length could pose challenges for exhibitors given limited daily showtimes, it also strengthens the film's positioning as a grand theatrical experience. With anticipation already sky-high, the runtime itself has now become a major talking point around Dhurandhar: The Revenge, which is scheduled to release on March 19 in multiple languages.

Dhurandhar 2 and Toxic Theatrical Runtime Revealed

Mumbai, February 28 - The theatrical runtimes of two of the most awaited big-ticket releases, Dhurandhar: The Revenge and Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups, have reportedly been revealed ahead of their much-hyped box office clash. Both films are gearing up for a grand theatrical release on March 19 and promise a larger-than-life cinematic experience. According to reports, Dhurandhar 2 is said to have a massive runtime of 3 hours and 49 minutes, making it the longest runtime for an Indian film in recent history. Headlined by Ranveer Singh, the sequel is expected to go all out in scale, action, and drama, with the makers confident that the extended length will be justified by its high-octane narrative and emotional depth. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) On the other hand, Yash-starrer Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups is reportedly locked at a runtime of 3 hours and 15 minutes. While slightly shorter than its rival, Toxic remains an intense, stylised gangster drama that relies on mood, character arcs, and a gritty storyline rather than sheer length. With both films opting for epic runtimes, the stage is set for one of the biggest cinematic face-offs at the box office. It remains to be seen how audiences respond to these extended theatrical experiences and whether content and pacing will outweigh concerns around length when the films finally hit the big screens.

Headlined by Ajay Devgn, the fifth instalment of the blockbuster franchise promises to be bigger than the previous films, with a much bigger star cast and stakes involved. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) As the shoot has commenced, the movie is already making noise in trade as the music rights have reportedly been sold to T-Series. According to the report by Bollywood Hungama, Bhushan Kumar has paid Rohit Shetty 9 crores, as he is confident that the music of Golmaal 5 can work big time due to the brand value. The latest development also suggests that all is well between Bhushan Kumar and Rohit Shetty, after their relationship reportedly had turned strained during Diwali 2024, when T-Series' production, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, clashed with Shetty's Singh Again. Things escalated further when the title track of Singham Again was hit with a copyright strike by T-Series. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) It is worth noting that T-Series has been a regular partner of Rohit Shetty's film, and with Golmaal 5, they are continuing their blockbuster streak. Produced by Rohit Shetty, Golmaal 5 brings back franchise mainstay Ajay Devgn, alongside Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Kunal Kemmu and Shreyas Talpade, Johnny Lever, Sanjay Mishra, Mukesh Tiwari and Ashwini Kalsekar, all return for what promises to be another high-energy comedy of errors.
