Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna's Thamma Nears 100 Cr Net As Harshvardhan Rane's Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Scores Unexpected Success

Mumbai, October 27 - Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna's Thamma had a good 6-day extended opening weekend at the box office. The vampire comedy has struck a chord with its targeted audiences for its connection with Maddock Horror Comedy Universe and the chemistry between the lead pair. With positive word of mouth, the film has held its ground well despite competition during the Diwali festive period. The film's extended first weekend collections have been good, recording around 91 crores net in six days and 125 crores gross worldwide. The film is expected to enter the 100 crores club in 8 days. While the weekend trajectory was good, it wasn't exceptional, making the upcoming weekdays crucial in determining its final box office outcome. The lack of new Bollywood releases this coming week is expected to help Thamma have a sustained run. Meanwhile, Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa's romantic drama Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat has turned out to be a dark horse at the box office. Despite limited buzz and underwhelming critics' reviews, the film has managed to find its audience, especially among young people and in smaller towns. The film has already crossed 50 crores worldwide within six days, including 49 crores gross (41.50 crores net) from India, signalling a strong acceptance. The film has become Rane's biggest grosser with today's collection. Together, Thamma and Deewaniyat have infused fresh energy into the box office, proving that content variety and genuine audience engagement still hold the key to success. While Thamma is now aiming for a steady run, Deewaniyat has earned its spot as one of the year's most surprising success stories. Stay tuned...

Rishab Shetty's Kantara Chapter 1 Outgrosses Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava To Become Highest-Grossing Indian Film of 2025

Bengaluru, October 26 - Hombale Films' period folk actioner Kantara: Chapter 1 continues to create history at the box office. The film has now surpassed the lifetime worldwide collection of Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna's Chhaava to emerge as the highest-grossing Indian film of 2025. The prequel, directed by and starring Rishab Shetty, has been performing exceptionally well across all markets, showing remarkable hold even in its fourth week. On its 25th day, Kantara: Chapter 1 has overtaken Chhaava, which had finished its lifetime run with a total of around 808 crore. With this feat, the film has rewritten box office records for the year by becoming the biggest Indian grosser. The movie's collections have been rock solid in the Hindi belt and the South, with overseas markets adding significantly to its global tally. Produced by Hombale Films, Kantara 2 became the first film to cross the 200 crore mark in Karnataka, and currently stands at around 235 crores in 25 days. The Hindi belt has performed equally good with collections more or less similar to Karnataka gross, while it is also strong in Telugu states, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala. The film has drawn praise for its powerful storytelling, cultural depth, and Rishab Shetty's commanding performance. Despite facing competition from several big-ticket releases in October, the film maintained extraordinary momentum due to strong word-of-mouth and repeat viewership. Its success across languages has made it a true pan-India phenomenon. With this milestone, Kantara: Chapter 1 not only becomes the top-grossing film of 2025 but also joins the elite list of Indian films to cross 800 crore worldwide. The movie's theatrical run is still far from over, as the movie aims to finish around 875 crores worldwide. Stay tuned...

Rishab Shetty's Kantara Chapter 1 Storms Past 200 Crore Net In Hindi

Mumbai, October 25 - Rishab Shetty's Kantara Chapter 1 has achieved yet another historic milestone, becoming the first South Indian film of 2025 to enter the 200 crore net club in Hindi. The film continues to maintain a solid hold even in its fourth week, proving the lasting power of word-of-mouth. On its 24th day (4th Saturday), the period folk actioner added an estimated 4.25 crore net, pushing its Hindi total beyond 200 crore. With this, the Rishab Shetty starrer has become only the sixth South Indian film ever to achieve this feat in Hindi, joining the elite ranks of Baahubali 2, KGF Chapter 2, Pushpa: The Rise, RRR, and Kalki 2898 AD. The consistency in its collections is a testament to its wide acceptance across audiences and its strong emotional connection. Overall, it is the 45th film of all time to hit 200 crores in net collection in Hindi. The last film to hit the milestone was Saiyaara. The film's performance is even more impressive considering the limited promotional campaign and its deeply regional setting. What started as a folklore-driven story from coastal Karnataka has grown into a nationwide cinematic phenomenon, resonating with viewers for its authenticity, music, and spiritual themes. Rishab Shetty's direction and performance have both been universally praised for blending realism with divinity in a way rarely seen on the big screen. As the film continues its glorious run, it stands as a shining example of how rooted storytelling can break all language barriers and achieve pan-India success. Stay tuned...

Shah Rukh Khan's Cameo Buzz As Pathaan Sparks Excitement For Alia Bhatt's Spy Universe Film Alpha

Mumbai, October 25 - The YRF Spy Universe continues to evolve, and the next chapter, Alpha, starring Alia Bhatt, Sharvari Wagh, and Bobby Deol, is shaping up to be bigger than expected after the latest cameo buzz of Shah Rukh Khan took the internet by storm. According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, producer Aditya Chopra of Yash Raj Films has approached Shah Rukh Khan to reprise his iconic role of Pathaan for a special cameo appearance in Alpha. It is said that this decision comes after the studio was reportedly taken aback by the poor result of War 2, which was released recently. In an effort to amplify the buzz and strengthen the cinematic continuity of the Spy Universe, Chopra is keen to bring back SRK's Pathaan to add star power and connect the dots between the existing characters. Chopra has reportedly designed a special cameo for SRK, which will lead to Pathaan 2, the next film in the Spy Universe after Alpha. However, Shah Rukh Khan has reportedly asked for some time before making a final decision. Interestingly, Alpha, which is scheduled to release on December 25, 2025, will also feature Hrithik Roshan in a cameo as agent Kabir, marking another major crossover moment for the franchise. If SRK comes on board, Alpha could become the most interconnected YRF Spy Universe, paving the way for an eventual ensemble crossover film. With Alia Bhatt leading the charge as the first female spy of the universe, and potential appearances by both Pathaan and Kabir, Alpha is already generating immense excitement among fans.

Prabhas, SS Rajamouli's Baahubali: The Epic Off To A Blockbuster Start In Advance Bookings In India

Hyderabad, October 25 - SS Rajamouli's epic Baahubali duology returns to the big screen with a bang in a one epic cut. After seeing an excellent response in North America, this advance booking for Prabhas-fronted magnum opus, Baahubali: The Epic, has opened with an excellent response domestically, reaffirming the unmatched craze surrounding the franchise even after years of its original release. The bookings for the re-edited single-film version officially opened in Hyderabad on October 25, and within minutes, most of the shows were sold out. The film has been selling over 5,000 tickets per hour on BookMyShow, showcasing the extraordinary enthusiasm among fans eager to relive the cinematic spectacle on the big screen once again. It has grossed nearly 2 crores in India and around 4 crores worldwide for the opening day. What's even more remarkable is that this isn't a brand-new release — Baahubali: The Epic is a remastered and restructured version combining Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion into one seamless narrative. Yet, the response proves that the franchise continues to enjoy cult-level fan following across generations. Internationally, the film's bookings are record-breaking for a re-release Indian title. In North America, Baahubali: The Epic has already crossed the $200,000 mark in pre-sales — a staggering figure that surpasses many first-time releases. The excitement in NA indicates a wave of nostalgia and admiration for Rajamouli's storytelling and Prabhas' iconic portrayal of Baahubali. Baahubali: The Epic is expected to create new records by a long margin for a re-release Indian film. The initial demand has been excellent, as fans seek to experience the grandeur of Mahishmati in the most immersive way possible. With the film set for a nationwide release on October 31, trade experts believe it could redefine what's possible for a re-release at the Indian box office. Stay tuned...

Ajay Devgn-Rakul Preet Singh's De De Pyaar De 2 Creates Buzz, Leads IMDb's Most Anticipated Movies of 2025 List

Mumbai, October 24 - After the trailer launch recently, the buzz for Ajay Devgn and Rakul Preet Singh's romantic comedy De De Pyaar De 2 is skyrocketing. Ahead of the film's release, the rom-com has claimed the No. 1 spot on IMDb's list of Most Anticipated New Indian Movies and Shows. According to IMDb's real-time popularity rankings, De De Pyaar De 2 currently leads with 19.5% of the total share, leaving behind other eagerly awaited films like Haq, Dhurandhara, and Baahubali - The Epic. It is very common for films to top IMDb's anticipation list close to the release date, but the fact that DDPD2 still has 3 weeks left, the latest development is a big positive. The sequel to the 2019 hit De De Pyaar De, the film reunites Ajay Devgn with his signature blend of humour, charm, and emotional depth. The original, which starred Tabu and Rakul Preet Singh alongside Devgn, became a crowd favourite for its refreshing take on modern relationships. The buzz around the sequel has been steadily growing ever since its announcement, and the IMDb ranking now proves that anticipation is sky-high. In recent times, franchise films have failed to generate buzz, but the tide seems to be changing for DDPD2, which is genuinely making noise among the fans and trade, especially after the trailer launch that received a unanimous positive reception and huge viewership. With the film leading the hype charts, De De Pyaar De 2 looks poised to deliver another crowd-pleasing entertainer. Directed by Anshul Sharma and also starring R. Madhavan, Ishita Dutta, Meezaan Jafri, and Gautami Kapoor, fans are already waiting to see what fresh twists this romantic comedy will bring to the table — and if the IMDb anticipation is any sign, Ajay Devgn's next outing is set to open with a bang.

Prabhas Dominates The Headlines With Blockbuster Birthday Reveals

Hyderabad, October 24 - Pan-India superstar Prabhas' 46th birthday turned into a festival for fans as the superstar celebrated the day by revealing updates from not one, but three of his major upcoming films. The actor, who enjoys a massive following nationwide, made sure his birthday was nothing short of a cinematic spectacle. The birthday celebrations began with the grand title announcement of Fauzi, a period action drama directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, known for the acclaimed Sita Ramam. Set in the 1940s, Fauzi is described as a patriotic saga that blends high-octane action with rich emotional depth — a perfect setting for Prabhas to once again showcase his larger-than-life screen presence. Following the title announcement of Fauzi, the actor treated the fans by revealing a new poster of the romantic horror comedy The Raja Saab, his next theatrical release slated for January 9, 2026. The film, which has already created significant buzz, promises to present the star in a never-before-seen avatar, combining mass appeal with fantasy elements. The final and most explosive announcement of the day came from director Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit, one of the most anticipated films in Indian cinema. The makers unveiled a sound story concept video (without any footage), giving fans a glimpse of the cop action thriller's intensity and tone. The clip immediately went viral, sparking a frenzy across social media. The maverick director, known for films like Animal, Kabir Singh, and Arjun Reddy, further amped up the excitement by calling Prabhas India's biggest superstar, a statement that ignited passionate debates online — with fans proudly echoing the sentiment. With Fauzi, The Raja Saab, and Spirit all lined up to hit the big screen in the next two years, Prabhas' birthday this year wasn't just a celebration — it was a declaration of the powerhouse lineup awaiting his fans. The Rebel Star seems all set to rule the big screen once again in the coming years. Stay tuned...

Sandeep Reddy Vanga Ignites Frenzy With The Sound Story Of Prabhas' Spirit

Hyderabad, October 24 - Love him or hate him, but no one can ignore Sandeep Reddy Vanga. The filmmaker, known for his unapologetic, unfiltered, and intense brand of storytelling, has once again become the talk of the nation after unveiling the Sound Story of his upcoming film Spirit, starring Prabhas, which has sent fans into a frenzy across the internet. The short yet powerful Sound Story offers a glimpse into the world Vanga is creating with Spirit, and it's everything one would expect from him. Without showing a single frame, the teaser managed to raise goosebumps, setting social media abuzz and trending within hours of release. The sound story offers a key dialogue sequence of Spirit without showing any frame. The teaser confirms that Prabhas plays an IPS officer who was once an academy topper but turns a remand prisoner because of his 'one bad habit', which has left everyone guessing. In his signature bold style, Sandeep Reddy Vanga also referred to Prabhas as "India's biggest superstar" — and it's hard to argue with that. Over the past decade, no actor has delivered the kind of box office dominance that Prabhas has, from Baahubali to Kalki 2898 AD. The collaboration between SRV and Prabhas is being hailed as one of the most explosive combinations in contemporary Indian cinema. SRV has also revealed the majority of the main cast of Spirit, produced by T-Series and Bhadrakali Pictures. Alongside Prabhas, the film stars Tripti Dimri as the female lead, Vivek Oberoi, Prakash Raj, and veteran South Indian actress Kanchana in key roles. Fans are calling Spirit "the next cinematic storm," with expectations skyrocketing for what Vanga will deliver after Kabir Singh and Animal. The director, who thrives on polarising opinions, seems set to push boundaries once again — this time on a much grander scale with Prabhas leading the charge. Spirit is expected to start rolling by the end of this year or early 2026. The film will be released in multiple Indian and international languages, most likely in 2027. The system knows his record.The streets know his rage.Now the world will know his #OneBadHabit. #Spirit Sound Story Out Now in all Languages 🔥#HappyBirthdayPrabhas ❤️#Prabhas @imvangasandeep pic.twitter.com/B2iPMGKn0P— Spirit (@InSpiritMode) October 23, 2025 Stay tuned...
