Chennai, July 20 - The countdown for Thalapathy Vijay's swan song Jana Nayagan has begun as the film continues to post solid booking numbers ahead of its theatrical release. The film has already amassed strong pre-sales across India after full-fledged booking started on July 19, reaffirming the massive anticipation surrounding Vijay's final film. The bookings have been consistently growing with each passing day, putting the film on course for one of the biggest openings of 2026. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) As of 9 PM on July 20, the political actioner has sold tickets worth around 13 crores gross for the opening day, including around 6 crores gross in the home state, Tamil Nadu, while worldwide sales are around 27 crores. However, while the overall advance booking figures are excellent, the booking trend has been slightly different from what a section of the trade had anticipated. Many industry insiders expected shows to sell out almost instantly, considering the historic significance of Vijay's farewell film. There are even projections that Jana Nayagan can challenge for the biggest domestic opening in Tamil cinema. Instead, the bookings have grown steadily rather than explosively, with occupancy improving day by day instead of witnessing immediate sell-outs, even though there are a couple of theatre chains which are witnessing near sold-out screenings. The current trend indicates that Jana Nayagan is likely in the 50-60 crore gross range opening, which itself would be an extraordinary achievement. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Jana Nayagan First Day Advance Booking Report The excitement around the film, however, is real, and the final number may still exceed expectations. With a couple of days remaining before release, and last-minute ticket sales yet to come, there is still room for the film to gain further momentum. Directed by H. Vinoth, Jana Nayagan stars Thalapathy Vijay alongside Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, Prakash Raj, Priyamani, Gautham Vasudev Menon, and Mamitha Baiju. The film is set to hit theatres on July 23 and marks the end of Vijay's acting career. While it may not be rewriting booking records in the manner some expected, the film is nevertheless heading towards a phenomenal opening, with all eyes now on whether strong spot bookings can push it even closer to the all-time domestic opening benchmarks.

Mumbai, July 20 - Ajay Devgn's Dhamaal 4 continues to enjoy a superb run at the Indian box office, delivering a solid second weekend despite competition from Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. The comedy entertainer has held really well after a strong opening week, with family audiences continuing to drive collections across the country. The film's impressive hold has cemented its position as one of the biggest Hindi hits of the year. The Indra Kumar directorial collected an impressive 28.50 crore net in its second weekend, taking its 10-day India net collection to approximately 124.50 crore. The outstanding weekend performance underscores the film's strong word-of-mouth, as it recorded healthy growth on both Saturday and Sunday after a steady second Friday.

With no immediate threat to its target audience, the film is poised to continue its successful run at the box office.

Mumbai, July 18 - Christopher Nolan's film is often treated more as a global event than a standard movie release, and The Odyssey, the most ambitious film of the director's career, is certainly living up to that reputation. For months, the buzz surrounding this project has been building, fueled by Nolan's commitment to large-format practical filmmaking. As the film finally made its debut on July 17, it is not just the technical scale that is making headlines, but the critical and commercial reception as well. With a staggering 95 per cent score on Rotten Tomatoes, it has officially become the highest-rated film of Nolan's career, surpassing iconic masterpieces like The Dark Knight and Memento. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) To give you some context on how impressive this critical acclaim is, the film currently sits above Oppenheimer and Dunkirk in the director's filmography rankings. This level of praise is undoubtedly a driving force behind the strong turnout we are seeing in India. As for the box office, the film has had an excellent start in India, scoring Nolan's biggest opening with around 21 crores in gross, beating Oppenheimer's 17+ crores gross start. Overall, the worldwide opening day is around $100 million. The Odyssey is eyeing growth on its second day at the Indian box office. For context, the movie sold around 140K tickets in three national chains on the opening day, while second-day sales were around 150K in PIC (PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis). If the momentum continues throughout the day, it will be aiming for 25 crore gross day. As of 9 AM on Day 2, the movie has already scored 1.75+ crores gross, indicating a solid day at the box office. The day 2 started on a strong note, with 25% occupancy in the English 2D version. The movie is once again strong in South Indian states, where overall morning occupancy is around 35%. The IMAX version is super strong. After a 5+ crore gross opening day, the film is heading to score a bigger day in the premium format. Eventually, the movie clocked approximately 26.50 crores gross on its second day, taking 2-days total to 47+ crores gross (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) #TheOdyssey is an absolute cinematic masterpiece, where #ChristopherNolan holds your attention from the first frame till the last.

Mumbai, July 17 - Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema's Evil Dead Burn has delivered a strong performance at the Indian box office, emerging as the biggest opening week for a horror film released in 2026. The supernatural horror title wrapped up its first seven days with an impressive 25 crore gross, comfortably surpassing the 22 crore-plus opening week of Curry Barker's Obsession. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film collected 2+ crore gross on its seventh day, taking its first-week total to 25 crore gross. Despite facing competition from multiple Indian releases, Evil Dead Burn maintained steady collections throughout the week, with South India and major metropolitan cities leading its business. The result underlines the growing appetite for horror films among Indian audiences. The latest instalment in Sam Raimi's iconic Evil Dead franchise has also achieved another significant milestone by making India the biggest international opening weekend market for the film. During its opening weekend, the movie grossed approximately 15+ crore, outperforming every overseas territory outside North America and highlighting the franchise's strong fanbase in the country. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) With positive word-of-mouth and limited direct competition in the horror genre, Evil Dead Burn now has an opportunity to extend its theatrical run over the coming weeks. Having already overtaken Obsession to register the biggest first week for a horror film in India this year, the film has established itself as one of Hollywood's notable box office successes in the Indian market in 2026. Earlier, Obsession had an excellent run at the Indian box office. Despite starting slowly, the thriller grew exceptionally over the weeks due to extremely positive word of mouth. It became only the second Hollywood horror title to surpass the 100 crore gross mark in India, to emerge as one of the biggest non-Indian titles. It needs to be seen how far Evil Dead Burn can go.

The collaboration between SS Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu, now officially titled Varanasi, has set a firm release date for April 7, 2027. Following the global reach of RRR, this project is being designed as an international action-adventure, with the script written by Vijayendra Prasad and music by M.M. Keeravani. The film is expected to be a high-budget production, aiming for a wide theatrical release across multiple global markets. Mahesh Babu has spent a significant amount of time preparing for this role, adopting a new look and undergoing a physical transformation to fit the globe-trotting theme of the story. Given Rajamouli's preference for high-end technical standards, the film is being shot with Premium Large Formats (PLF) in mind. The goal is to deliver a visual experience that scales well on international screens, similar to major Hollywood franchises. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) However, an interesting challenge has surfaced regarding the film's global release strategy. While the April 7 date is confirmed, it places Varanasi in a very competitive window between two major Hollywood productions. Godzilla x Kong: Supernova is scheduled for March 26, 2027, and the thriller Panic Carefully is set to arrive shortly after on April 9. Both of these films are expected to occupy a large portion of IMAX and premium screens in overseas markets. This creates a potential bottleneck for Varanasi. In the international market, Hollywood studios often secure IMAX and PLF screens well in advance, which could limit the number of premium screens available for an Indian production during that specific two-week window. For Rajamouli, who prioritizes the best possible theatrical presentation, securing these screens is a vital part of the film's global rollout plan. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) As of now, the production team has not indicated any plans for a postponement, and the original release date remains unchanged. However, industry observers suggest that the release plan could be revisited if the screen crunch becomes a significant obstacle. For now, the focus remains on completing the project, while trade circles keep a close eye on how the film will navigate this scheduling conflict in the premium screen space.

Mumbai, July 17 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar's Welcome To The Jungle is now expected to finish its theatrical run below the 200 crore worldwide gross mark, despite looking like a certain entrant into the club just a week ago. The comedy entertainer enjoyed a good opening, maintained healthy collections through its initial days, and appeared comfortably on course to cross the milestone before the box office landscape changed dramatically. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Just a week ago, Welcome 3 looked like a sure-shot 200 crore worldwide grosser. However, the arrival of Dhamaal 4, another major comedy franchise targeting the same audience, has significantly dented its momentum. With exhibitors allocating more shows to the new release and audiences shifting towards the fresher offering, Welcome To The Jungle witnessed a sharp decline in its third-week collections, making the 200 crore mark increasingly difficult to achieve. The timing of Dhamaal 4's release has proved crucial. Since both films belong to the comedy genre, there has been a direct overlap in their target audience. While Welcome To The Jungle had already enjoyed a successful theatrical run, the increased competition curtailed its long legs at the box office. The film is now expected to wrap up its run just short of the double-century milestone worldwide unless it stages an unexpected late surge. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In three weeks, the Ahmed Khan-directed flick has minted around 190 crores gross worldwide, including over 156 crores gross domestically. The turnaround now looks unlikely with Christopher Nolan's highly-anticipated The Odyssey releasing today (July 17), which will be the number 1 movie this week at the Indian box office. Despite missing the 200 crore worldwide mark, Welcome To The Jungle will still be counted among the successful Hindi releases of the year. The film delivered respectable numbers, further strengthened Akshay Kumar's resurgence at the box office, and once again highlighted the commercial appeal of well-made comedy entertainers. However, considering where the film stood only a week ago, falling short of 200 crore worldwide will undoubtedly be viewed as a missed opportunity.

The wait for Ananya Panday and Lakshya's intense romantic drama, Chand Mera Dil, to arrive on digital platforms is finally coming to an end. After making its theatrical debut on May 22, 2026, the film is transitioning to the streaming space where it is expected to find a new audience. Despite the high-profile casting and a modern take on romance, the film had a challenging run at the box office, and its upcoming digital premiere is being viewed as its second life on the small screen. Where and when to stream Chand Mera Dil on OTT? Makers have stuck to a standard eight-week exclusive theatrical window before bringing the film to digital viewers. Chand Mera Dil is officially scheduled to stream on JioHotstar starting July 17, 2026. This digital premiere comes exactly 56 days after its theatrical release. Interestingly, the partnership with JioHotstar was teased right from the opening credits during its cinema run, making it an anticipated arrival for subscribers of the platform. One notable aspect of the OTT version is the age rating and censorship. While the theatrical version had its own set of guidelines, the streaming version carries a U/A 16+ rating. To secure this, the Central Board of Film Certification ordered significant changes, including the complete removal of a prominent 1-minute and 36-second lip-lock scene and the trimming of another 10-second kissing sequence. This edited version is what will be available for viewers on the platform from July 17. What is the story of Chand Mera Dil? The narrative of the film explores the darker, more turbulent side of modern relationships. The plot follows Ronit, played by Lakshya, and Tara, played by Ananya Panday, who experience a whirlwind romance after their paths cross. What starts as a passionate and deep connection soon takes a turn as Ronit’s love begins to transform into an extreme and suffocating obsession. The story focuses on the thin line between passion and toxicity, delving into the emotional fallout of a relationship that becomes increasingly volatile. Financially, the film struggled to find its footing during its stay in theaters. Produced on an estimated budget of 40 crore, the movie ended its theatrical run as a flop venture. While it managed to garner some attention in urban centers, it could not generate the mass momentum required to recover its costs. By the end of its run, the film secured a worldwide gross of 38.11 crore, failing to cross its production budget in terms of raw earnings.

Where to stream Chand Mera Dil on OTT? The film will be available for streaming exclusively on JioHotstar starting July 17, 2026. What is the age rating for the OTT version of Chand Mera Dil? The digital version of the film has been given a U/A 16+ rating after certain romantic sequences were trimmed or removed by the censor board. Who are the lead actors in Chand Mera Dil? The film features Ananya Panday and Lakshya in the lead roles, portraying a couple caught in a turbulent romance.

Director Ponram officially confirmed that a sequel to the 2013 cult comedy blockbuster, Varuthapadatha Valibar Sangam, was in development during an interview back in December 2025. This update was shared while he was promoting his film Kombuseevi, finally addressing years of fan requests for a second installment. Despite the confirmation happening late last year, the project continues to spark intense debate across Kollywood social media circles due to a significant shift in its casting and creative direction. While the news has been public for some time, the transition from the original leads to a new team remains a major talking point as the production moves closer to reality. The original film was a major milestone in Sivakarthikeyan's career, but the director has clarified why the actor will not be headlining the sequel. Ponram initially drafted the script with Sivakarthikeyan in mind, but the actor's stardom and market value have grown exponentially over the last decade. The director noted that a simple rural comedy no longer aligns with Sivakarthikeyan's current massive star status and mass hero image. Rather than heavily overhauling the script to fit a larger-than-life persona, the decision was made to transition the project to a fresh cast. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Current reports and industry buzz strongly suggest that Rio Raj is stepping in as the lead for this sequel. Adding another layer to his involvement, Rio Raj is also expected to bankroll the film under his newly established production banner, River Route Studios. While Ponram has confirmed that the story is completely ready, the final casting and production details are still awaiting a formal announcement from the team. Until then, these reports remain in the realm of unverified speculation. The original 2013 film remains a massive blockbuster in Tamil cinema, having grossed over ₹30 crore at the box office and successfully completing a 50-day theatrical run. Its success was anchored by the comedic chemistry between Sivakarthikeyan, Soori, and Sathyaraj, complemented by a chartbuster soundtrack from D. Imman that included popular tracks like Oodha Kalaru Ribbon. Because the first installment set such a high benchmark for rural entertainers, many fans believe that recreating that same rustic charm and comedic timing without the original lead duo will be a significant challenge for the sequel. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) On social media, the announcement has faced some pushback, with a section of the audience expressing that nobody can replace the SK factor. There have even been suggestions from fans to change the title of the film to avoid direct comparisons with the iconic first part. The creative team is reportedly focused on recreating that exact lighthearted audio-visual vibe. The reported shift in the lead role points toward Rio Raj, who has established a presence in the industry with films like Nenjamundu Nermaiyundu Odu Raja and the 2023 hit Joe. His most recent outing, Aan Paavam Polladhadhu, performed well at the box office, solidifying his standing as a viable lead for comedy-centric entertainers. Beyond just acting, Rio Raj is expected to bankroll this project under his own production banner, River Route Studios, while he also prepares for his upcoming release, Ram Leela. This transition marks a significant pivot for the franchise, as the makers look to bring in a fresh energy that aligns with the current market for mid-budget rural comedies. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) As the sequel moves into its next phase of development, the original team is focused on their respective individual projects. Sivakarthikeyan is currently busy with a packed lineup that includes the film Seyon, while director Ponram is also developing another full-fledged comedy film alongside this VVS sequel. Whether the sequel can live up to the blockbuster legacy of the original without its founding lead duo is something the industry will be watching closely as official production details emerge.
