Durgamati Review: Audience Call Bhumi Pednekar Starrer Disappointing
The much-awaited horror thriller film, Durgamati: The Myth starring Bhumi Pednekar finally premiered on Amazon Prime Video on December 11. The movie is directed by G. Ashok and is an official remake of his own Telugu-Tamil bilingual film Bhaagamathie which starred Anushka Shetty in the lead role.



While the expectations were high from Durgamati (earlier titled Durgavati), the Hindi remake of Bhaagamathie couldn't reprise the magic which the original film had. Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Akshay Kumar, and Vikram Malhotra, Durgamati has been disappointing largely because it failed to scare people which is its joner. It also stars Arshad Warsi, Jisshu Sengupta, and Mahie Gill in the key roles.

Alia Bhatt's Character Details In Yash Raj Films' Alpha Revealed

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, May 26 - Alpha is one of the most-awaited Bollywood films, as it marks the first female-led instalment in Yash Raj Films' ambitious Spy Universe. Starring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari in the lead, the action thriller has been generating anticipation ever since its announcement. Now, fresh reports about Alia's character and the film being different from other spy movies have further increased the excitement surrounding the film. According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, Alia Bhatt will reportedly play a deadly assassin in Alpha, and not a conventional spy like the earlier protagonists in the YRF Spy Universe. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The report states that her character has an edgy backstory and is someone who was "raised and built to kill" from a young age. YRF is said to be exploring a much darker, more emotionally layered origin story for the film, giving the franchise a fresh direction after the success of movies like Pathaan, War, and Tiger. The makers are reportedly betting big on the film's unique characterisation and intense action setup. Alia's role is expected to feature brutal combat sequences, hand-to-hand action, and a gritty screen presence unlike anything she has attempted before. The reports have already led to comparisons with Marvel's Black Widow among fans on social media, with many excited to see Alia in a fierce action avatar. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Sharvari is also said to have a powerful role alongside her, making the film a full-fledged female-driven action spectacle. Directed by Shiv Rawail, Alpha also stars Bobby Deol and Anil Kapoor in pivotal roles. The film is currently slated for a theatrical release on July 10, 2026, and is expected to be one of the biggest event films from Yash Raj Films of the year.

FWICE Bans Ranveer Singh Following His Exit From Farhan Akhtar's Don 3

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, May 25 - The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has issued a non-cooperation directive against Ranveer Singh following his abrupt exit from the upcoming film Don 3. The decision came after filmmaker Farhan Akhtar and producer Ritesh Sidhwani approached FWICE over alleged financial and production losses caused by the actor's withdrawal from the project. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to reports, FWICE held multiple meetings and sent notices to Ranveer Singh asking him to present his side. FWICE officials later claimed that the actor responded by stating that the matter did not fall under the federation's jurisdiction. Following this, the body announced a "Non-Cooperation Directive," effectively asking industry workers and associations not to collaborate with him until the issue is resolved. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The controversy began after Ranveer exited Don 3 just weeks before shooting was scheduled to begin. Reports suggest that Excel Entertainment had already spent heavily on pre-production and promotional activities. Some reports claim the producers are seeking damages of around 40–45 crore. FWICE advisor Ashoke Pandit reportedly stated that sudden exits by actors impact not only producers but also thousands of film workers associated with productions. Meanwhile, neither Ranveer Singh nor his team has publicly issued a detailed statement on the ban so far. Meanwhile, the Dhurandhar star is scheduled to begin his next film, Pralay, around August this year. Directed by Jai Mehta and produced by Ranveer Singh's Maa Kasam Films with Hansal Mehta, the film is a Zombie thriller, which is a one-of-its-kind film for Ranveer. It needs to be seen how things fare following the actor's ban by film body.

Raja Shivaji 4th Weekend Box Office: Riteish Deshmukh Starrer Collects Rs. 3.05 Cr; Worldwide Total Reaches Rs. 113 Cr

BY SACNILK

Raja Shivaji has officially etched its name in the history books of Marathi cinema. On its fourth Friday, the film has achieved a monumental milestone by surpassing the lifetime collections of Sairat, effectively becoming the number one Marathi movie of all time. This historical epic is not just holding its ground but is continuing to rake in significant moolah even after a month in theatres, driven by a powerful narrative and strong emotional connect with the audience. The fourth weekend performance highlights the film's incredible resilience. After starting the weekend on Friday (Day 22) with 0.60 crore, the movie witnessed a massive 91.7 percent surge on Saturday (Day 23) to collect 1.15 crore. The momentum continued on Sunday (Day 24) with a collection of 1.30 crore, representing a 13 percent growth from the previous day. This brings the total India net collections to a staggering 92.07 crore, while the India gross stands at 108.78 crore. Including the overseas kitty of 4.22 crore, the worldwide gross has reached the 113.00 crore mark.

Over the fourth weekend alone, Raja Shivaji sold approximately 80,000 tickets on the BookMyShow platform, pushing its total sales on the app past the 2.5 million mark—a historic feat for a regional film. National chains have also been a major contributor to this success. On Friday, the three major chains (PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis) sold roughly 2,240 tickets. This number surged to 4,670 tickets on Saturday and peaked at 6,750 tickets on Sunday, showcasing a clear weekend uptick despite the film being in its fourth week. Regionally, the Marathi heartland continues to lead the charge. On Sunday, Mumbai recorded an overall occupancy of 46.5 percent across 125 shows, while Pune saw a brilliant 62 percent occupancy across 111 shows. The Marathi version alone contributed 1.10 crore on Day 24 with a 39 percent occupancy rate, while the Hindi version added 0.20 crore. To date, the Marathi version has collected 67.42 crore net, while the Hindi version has added a healthy 24.65 crore to the overall total across a cumulative 85,426 shows worldwide. Looking at the cumulative language-wise breakdown, the Marathi version has clearly been the primary driver of this success, contributing ₹67.42 crore in net collections (₹79.64 crore gross) from 38,130 shows with a solid average occupancy of 33.8 percent. On the other hand, the Hindi version has played a significant supporting role, adding ₹24.65 crore to the net total (₹29.14 crore gross) across a wider spread of 47,296 shows, maintaining an average occupancy of 13.4 percent throughout its run. While the film is slowly nearing the end of its theatrical run, its performance in urban pockets like Surat and Ahmedabad—where it saw 21 percent and 25 percent occupancy respectively—indicates that the appeal transcends beyond just Maharashtra. By becoming the highest-grossing Marathi film in history, Raja Shivaji has set a new benchmark for regional cinema, proving that high-quality storytelling combined with a grand scale can result in massive theatrical success. The trade is now watching to see if it can push past the 100 crore net mark before its digital premiere.

Dhurandhar 2 10th Weekend Box Office: Hits Rs. 1,800 Cr; Combined Franchise Haul Stands At Rs. 3,107 Cr Worldwide

BY SACNILK

Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has effectively rewritten the rulebook for what a blockbuster looks like in today's era. By sailing past the 1,800 crore mark globally, it has not just overtaken legends like Baahubali 2 and Pushpa 2, but it has essentially provided a much-needed adrenaline shot for the entire industry. What makes this success story truly jaw-dropping is how the makers played their cards; while the first installment in 2025 was a purely Hindi release that raked in an impressive 1,307.35 crore, the sequel was unleashed in multiple languages. This strategic pivot allowed the film to set new benchmarks that have left many in awe as it claimed the second spot in the all-time global rankings. The financial picture here is nothing short of incredible. When you consider that both films were made on a combined budget of 255 crore, the return on investment is frankly in a league of its own. We are looking at a franchise that has generated over 3,100 crore in total worldwide gross across both chapters. To put the domestic craze into perspective, the film has seen over 4 crore footfalls, making it the first original Hindi-led project to command that kind of crowd since Gadar back in 2001. Also the sequel's 1.83 crore ticket sales on BookMyShow have pushed the franchise's total to over 6.8 crore tickets across India, reflecting the massive scale of its audience reach.Such is the trend the franchise has set that it may take years for these records to be broken. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Even as it enters its tenth weekend, the film is showing no signs of a complete burnout. In fact, the tenth-weekend performance saw a total net collection of 0.83 crore across 691 shows in India. The momentum peaked on Sunday (Day 67) with a net of 0.40 crore, marking a 33.3 percent jump from the previous day. The occupancy levels followed a similar trend, starting at 21 percent on Friday and climbing to a healthy 36 percent on Sunday. National chains like PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis saw a surge in volume as well, with ticket sales jumping from 1,318 on Friday to 3,798 on Sunday. By the end of this weekend, over 7,300 tickets were added to the kitty from these chains alone, suggesting the film still has some legs left.

While the Hindi version remains the primary driver, the contributions from the Southern states have helped push the total India net to 1,147.58 crore.Based on current trends, we expect the film to conclude its theatrical journey with a lifetime global haul of approximately 1,803 crore or may be 1,805 crore ,safely securing its place as a historical benchmark for Indian cinema. Here is how the regional breakdown looks: Hindi: ₹1,079.04 Cr Telugu: ₹43.07 Cr Tamil: ₹19.83 Cr Kannada: ₹3.87 Cr Malayalam: ₹1.77 Cr This global dominance was further cemented by a strong showing overseas, where the film grossed a total of 426.67 crore. International audiences were clearly drawn to the high-quality VFX, as roughly 18 percent of overseas revenue came from premium formats like IMAX and 4DX. As the theatrical run begins to wind down, the focus is now shifting toward the small screen. The digital premiere on JioHotstar on June 4 will feature a special Raw and Undekha cut, including 20 minutes of extra footage that wasn't shown in theaters. This extended version is expected to keep the conversation going long after the film leaves the big screen. The financial health of this duology is arguably its most impressive feat. The producers managed both films on a combined budget of just 255 crore, making the return on investment frankly in a league of its own. We are looking at a franchise that has generated over 3,107 crore in total worldwide gross across both chapters. This success was not limited to the box office; the makers also pulled off a masterstroke with digital rights. While Part 1 remained with Netflix for a revised value of 85 crore, the makers leveraged the sequel's hype to secure a separate, staggering 150 crore deal with JioHotstar. This pushed their total digital revenue to 235 crore, nearly covering the entire production cost of the franchise through streaming alone.

Akshay Kumar To Headline Sci-Fi Alien Thriller Samuk For Producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, May 24 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar is gearing up for a major genre shift as he reportedly joins hands with producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah for an ambitious sci-fi alien thriller titled Samuk. The film is expected to mark Akshay's first full-fledged attempt at the alien-horror genre, a space that remains largely unexplored in mainstream Indian cinema. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Directed by Kanishk Varma, the project is already generating significant buzz for its scale and international collaborations. According to the report by Hindustan Times, Samuk is being mounted as a high-concept thriller with a strong emphasis on practical effects and immersive action, with shooting scheduled to begin in August 2026. The makers have reportedly roped in Hollywood stunt coordinator Luke Tumber, who has previously worked on global blockbusters like Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, Venom, and No Time To Die. The inclusion of international technicians suggests that the team is aiming to deliver a visually grand cinematic experience with global production standards. The film is also said to feature creature effects designed by acclaimed Hollywood artist Alec Gillis, known for his work on iconic franchises such as Alien and Predator. Instead of relying entirely on CGI-heavy visuals, the makers are reportedly focusing on practical alien effects to create a more realistic, terrifying atmosphere. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) This approach is expected to give Samuk a unique visual identity compared to conventional Indian sci-fi films. For Akshay Kumar, the film marks another attempt to explore fresh territory after experimenting with genres ranging from social dramas to historical epics and action entertainers over the years. Samuk will also reunite the actor with Vipul Amrutlal Shah after more than a decade. The duo previously collaborated on successful films like Namastey London, Waqt: The Race Against Time, and Action Replayy. While the makers are yet to announce the film officially, the project has already emerged as one of the most anticipated upcoming ventures in Akshay Kumar's lineup. Meanwhile, Akshay will next be seen in Welcome To The Jungle (Welcome), which is scheduled to release on June 26, 2026.

Mumbai, May 23 - Producer Namit Malhotra is reportedly planning a major release strategy for the highly-awaited epic Ramayana: Part 1, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Yash. The makers are said to be contemplating preponing the film's release to maximise its box office potential during the festive season. According to the report by Bollywood Hungama, the Nitesh Tiwari-directed magnum opus is now eyeing an October 30, 2026, theatrical release, which is a week before the Diwali festivities. The strategy is said to be aimed at allowing the film to build strong word-of-mouth before the extended holiday period kicks in, potentially resulting in a massive second-week surge at the box office. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Initially planned for a Diwali 2026 release, the makers reportedly believe that arriving a week earlier could give the film a longer uninterrupted run during the festive season, given that no other major release will be released during this time. The report further states that internal discussions regarding the revised date are currently underway, and a final decision will be taken once the distribution negotiations are locked. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Goddess Sita, and Yash as Ravana. The film also features Sunny Deol as Hanuman and Ravi Dubey as Laxman, along with others. Mounted on a gigantic scale by Prime Focus Studios and Monster Mind Creations, the project is being positioned as one of the most ambitious Indian films ever made. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Recently, it was also reported that the makers are in talks for a massive theatrical distribution deal worth around 450 crore, highlighting the enormous expectations surrounding the film. Given the scale, visual ambition, and star cast, trade experts expect the film to emerge as one of the biggest box office events in Indian cinema history. The buzz around the film has been consistently growing ever since the first official glimpses and casting confirmations surfaced online. While the October 30 release date is yet to be officially announced by the makers, the latest developments indicate that the team is actively exploring the possibility of arriving earlier than originally planned to fully capitalise on the festive window.

Raja Shivaji Box Office: Riteish Deshmukh's Historical Epic Downs Sairat To Become Highest-Grossing Marathi Film

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, May 22 - The decade-long record of director Nagraj Manjule's social romantic tragedy Sairat has finally been broken as Riteish Deshmukh's historical epic Raja Shivaji has become the highest-grossing Marathi film of all time, taking just 22 days to achieve the historic feat. Produced by Jio Studios and Mumbai Film Company, Raja Shivaji minted around 109.35 crores worldwide in three weeks (21 days), and it has surpassed the total gross of Sairat (110 crores) at the time of writing this piece to become the number 1 Marathi grosser ever. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Raja Shivaji, however, received support from its Hindi dubbed version, unlike Sairat, which was purely a Marathi-language release. Directed by and starring Riteish Deshmukh, the blockbuster has grossed approximately 29 crores from the Hindi version and over 76 crores gross from the original Marathi version in 21 days, while the overseas contribution stands at an estimated 4.20 crores so far. Released on May 1 on the occasion of Maharashtra Day, Raja Shivaji opened to record-breaking numbers with approximately 13.85 crores worldwide on its first day. The film remained exceptionally strong throughout the opening weekend, collecting around 41.65 crores worldwide in its first three days, setting a new benchmark for Marathi cinema. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The historical action drama, based on the life of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, showed a solid hold during the weekdays of its initial week. However, mixed word of mouth impacted the film's long-term theatrical run, with collections beginning to slow down after the second weekend. The 150 crores worldwide milestone, which looked possible after the huge opening weekend, now appears out of reach. Despite the slowdown, Raja Shivaji is still expected to finish its theatrical run close to the 125 crores mark, which would be a solid result for a regional-language title.

Bhooth Bangla Week 5 Box Office : Rs. 7.15 Cr; Needs Rs.36 Cr to Dethrone Sooryavanshi as Top Post-COVID Grosser

BY SACNILK

The horror-comedy genre has long been a favorite for Indian audiences, but every so often, a film comes along that truly captures the zeitgeist. Bhooth Bangla has done exactly that, proving that with the right mix of chills and chuckles, a movie can sustain interest well into its second month. As the film concludes its fifth week, the steady flow of moolah into the producers kitty suggests that this ghost story has plenty of life left in it. On its 35th day, which happened to be the fifth Thursday, the film added 0.70 Cr to its total. This represents a minor 12.5% drop from the previous day's 0.80 Cr collection, showing a very healthy hold in theaters. By the end of this seven-day stretch, Bhooth Bangla managed to rake in a stellar 7.15 Cr, bringing the total India net collection to a commendable 171.45 Cr. The India gross has now officially crossed the major milestone of 200 Cr, currently sitting at 203.21 Cr. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Bhooth Bangla - Week 5 Box Office Breakdown DAY COLLECTION (NET) SHOWS OCCUPANCY Day 29 (Friday) ₹ 0.75 Cr 2,297 11.0% Day 30 (Saturday) ₹ 1.40 Cr 2,397 16.0% Day 31 (Sunday) ₹ 1.90 Cr 2,442 21.0% Day 32 (Monday) ₹ 0.70 Cr 2,384 11.0% Day 33 (Tuesday) ₹ 0.90 Cr 2,439 18.0% Day 34 (Wednesday) ₹ 0.80 Cr 2,457 12.0% Day 35 (Thursday) ₹ 0.70 Cr 2,219 11.0% Total Week 5 ₹ 7.15 Cr - - When analyzing the screening frequency for the week, the film maintained a footprint of 16,635 shows across the country. The average occupancy for this fifth-week period stood at approximately 14.28%. While the weekdays saw a more modest turnout, the weekend surge—peaking at 21.0% on Sunday—significantly bolstered the average. On the international front, the film added 0.03 Cr on Day 35, taking its total overseas gross to 53.66 Cr. This pushes the worldwide gross collection to a massive 256.87 Cr, achieved across a total of 221,300 shows since its release. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Looking at the ground-level engagement through ticket sales, we see a logical and expected dip. In the major national multiplex chains like PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, the film sold a combined total of 30,180 tickets during this fifth week. For context, the fourth week saw a total of 56,592 tickets in these chains, so the film is holding nearly half its previous week strength. The digital footprint on BookMyShow is equally impressive; the film recorded 128.66K ticket bookings this week, compared to 234K in the fourth week. Impressively, the total lifetime ticket sales on BMS have now hit 3.20 million, placing it at the 7th spot in the all-time ticket sales leaderboard for the 2025-26 season. What makes this fifth-week performance truly remarkable is how it comfortably towers over other post-COVID blockbusters. Bhooth Bangla has managed to outshine every major competitor in this specific time frame, showcasing a level of durability that most big-ticket releases lose after the first few weeks. To put things in perspective, the film has more than doubled the fifth-week earnings of some of the biggest hits in recent years, proving that its grip on the audience is uniquely strong. Here is how it ranks among the elite Week 5 performers: 1. Bhooth Bangla - ₹ 7.15 Cr 2. Sooryavanshi - ₹ 2.98 Cr 3. Jolly LLB 3 - ₹ 2.00 Cr 4. OMG 2 - ₹ 0.97 Cr 5. Sky Force - ₹ 0.70 Cr Ultimately, Bhooth Bangla's ability to tower over the charts this late in the game is a clear signal of its massive staying power. While most films run out of steam and screen space after the first month, this horror-comedy is still adding significant moolah to its already impressive tally. It has evolved from a strong opening into a historic theatrical marathon, setting a daunting benchmark for any upcoming films in the genre to try and match.

What is interesting here for those following the trends is the absolute stability; this figure is an exact match to the 0.20 Cr collected on Wednesday. Holding its ground across 368 shows after more than two months is a clear indicator that the audience interest has not completely evaporated, even with newer releases hitting the screens.

The average occupancy for this seven-day period stood at approximately 21.28%. While the weekdays saw a more modest turnout, the weekend surge—peaking at 32.8% on Sunday—significantly bolstered the average, proving that the film still has enough legs to draw in crowds during leisure hours even after two months of dominance.

To date, the total India net collection has reached 1,146.75 Cr, while the India gross stands at 1,372.42 Cr. When we factor in the overseas market, where the film has grossed 426.67 Cr, the worldwide total hits a massive 1,799.09 Cr. This officially makes it the second highest-grossing Indian film of all time globally. This feat was achieved through a marathon run spanning 524,278 shows, showing just how wide the film was distributed to reach every corner of the audience. Looking at the ground-level engagement through ticket sales, we see a logical and expected dip. In the major national chains—PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis—the film sold a combined total of 20,963 tickets over the last seven days. While the weekend saw the usual spike, the weekday numbers show a predictable cooling off. Similarly, on BookMyShow, the movie recorded approximately 41.70K ticket sales for the week until the tracking concluded on Day 62. To give you some context, the eighth week saw about 81,000 tickets booked through the same platform, so the sales have effectively halved as the film reaches its natural saturation point. In the end, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has proven that the spy universe is a goldmine when backed by the right scale and storytelling. While a 2.19 Cr ninth week might seem small compared to its opening days, it is the finishing touch on a colossal mountain of revenue. The film has already done its job, rewriting the record books and setting a daunting benchmark for any future blockbusters to follow.

Dhurandhar: Raw and Undekha Gets Streaming Release Date On Netflix And JioHotstar

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, May 21 - The first Dhurandhar is not done yet. After the record-breaking box office run and setting viewership records on Netflix, the extended and uncensored version of Aditya Dhar's directorial is set to stream on both Netflix and JioHotstar. On Thursday, both platforms announced that the Dhurandhar: Raw & Undekha version will start streaming on May 22 in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil. The announcement quickly grabbed attention on social media, with fans expressing excitement over the alternate version. Many viewers had previously claimed that the earlier OTT release featured trimmed sequences and toned-down dialogues compared to the theatrical cut. The newly announced Raw & Undekha edition is expected to restore several of those moments while presenting the film in a grittier format. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Soon after the streaming date was revealed, confusion spread online as some users assumed the announcement was related to Dhurandhar: The Revenge. However, reports later clarified that the upcoming release is an alternate cut of the original Dhurandhar and not the sequel, which will begin streaming on JioHotstar on June 4, followed by Netflix on June 19. The film, headlined by Ranveer Singh, emerged as one of the biggest action entertainers of the year and performed exceptionally across theatrical markets. With the extended version now arriving on OTT, viewers who wanted a more uncensored experience are expected to revisit the film once again. The dual-platform release on Netflix and JioHotstar is also likely to boost the film's digital reach significantly.
