Hyderabad, March 17 - The much-anticipated box office clash in the Telugu states is shaping up to be an intense battle as Pawan Kalyan's Ustaad Bhagat Singh goes head-to-head with Dhurandhar 2. With both films carrying solid buzz and targeting different audience segments, the competition is expected to draw significant footfall across key territories like Hyderabad, which remains a crucial market for theatrical performance. As per the latest update, Ustaad Bhagat Singh has emerged as the clear frontrunner in terms of screen allocation and show distribution in Hyderabad, giving it a noticeable advantage going into release. It is said that Ustaad Bhagat Singh has secured 41 single screens, while Dhurandhar 2 will be playing in 16 single screens, and 5 single screens are set to screen both films in Hyderabad. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In total, Ustaad Bhagat Singh commands nearly 70% of the single-screen share, along with a favourable 60:40 show split likely in its favour in Multiplexs. On the multiplex front, around 55 properties, including major chains like Asian and Miraj, will be showcasing all major releases. However, despite equal presence, Ustaad Bhagat Singh is expected to dominate in terms of show count, thanks to its stronger demand and exhibitor preference. The dominance in single screens gives Ustaad Bhagat Singh a significant edge, which was expected given its local flavour, particularly in mass-heavy regions where such theatres play a vital role in driving box office numbers. The favourable showcasing indicates strong confidence from exhibitors, which could translate into a powerful opening. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) While Dhurandhar 2 may be trailing in terms of screen count, its presence in multiplexes and select single screens ensures that the clash remains alive, setting the stage for an exciting box office showdown in the Telugu states. Other than Telugu states, Dhurandhar 2 will be dominating screens all over the country. Both films are scheduled to release on March 19. Stay tuned...

Speculation regarding the release of actor Vijay's much-awaited film Jananayagan has surfaced online, with news channel Thanthi TV reporting a potential release date of May 7. While the production team has yet to issue an official statement, the report suggests that the movie is being prepared for a grand theatrical arrival following the conclusion of the upcoming political cycle in Tamil Nadu. This move is seen as a strategic decision to ensure maximum visibility and audience turnout during a period that is traditionally lucrative for big-budget cinema. The proposed release schedule is closely tied to the state's electoral calendar, with the Tamil Nadu assembly elections scheduled for April 23 and the results expected on May 4. According to the reported information, the makers are planning to bring Jananayagan to screens on May 7, just three days after the election results are declared. The film, which was originally slated for an earlier release on January 9, is reportedly heading for a review by a re-censoring committee tomorrow. Once this process is finalized, the team is expected to commence full-scale promotional activities to meet the tentative May deadline. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) This development comes at a time when the Tamil film industry is grappling with a notably dry period, characterized by a lack of big-ticket releases that usually drive the box office. For several months, exhibitors have faced a challenging financial landscape; while smaller-scale films such as Sirai,Thaai Kizhavi and With Love managed to perform well and earn hit status, their modest earnings have not been enough to offset the heavy operational costs of maintaining large theatre complexes. Currently, many screens are underutilized, leading to significant losses across the state's exhibition sector. Amidst this slump, all eyes are now on the upcoming release of Dhurandhar 2, which is expected to provide some immediate financial relief and profit for theatre owners before the next major blockbuster arrives. Ultimately, Jananayagan is being viewed as the primary financial anchor that could trigger a full-scale recovery for the entire Kollywood exhibition chain. In the regional cinema ecosystem, a high-profile star vehicle featuring Vijay often acts as the only mechanism capable of generating the massive liquidity required to settle financial backlogs. For exhibitors who have weathered a difficult first quarter, this release offers a crucial opportunity to maximize auxiliary revenues while restoring consistent footfalls. If the reported May 7 release date holds true, the film is expected to serve as a vital market-stabilizing force, bringing massive crowds back to the big screen and revitalizing the industry's economic health.

The highly anticipated sequel, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, is rewriting the rulebook of Indian cinema ahead of its global release on March 19, 2026. Directed as a mammoth 235-minute (3 hours and 55 minutes) saga, the film has seen unprecedented demand, leading exhibitors to schedule post-midnight and early-morning shows even before the first day of release. This marks the first time a Hindi film has secured such unconventional time slots this early, signaling a massive wave of audience interest. According to reports by Bollywood Hungama, theaters in major circuits like Mumbai, Pune, and Ahmedabad have already opened bookings for shows starting as early as 2:00 am on Thursday. In Mumbai, MovieMax Sion and MovieMax Wonder Mall in Thane are leading the charge with multiple screenings scheduled between 2:15 am and 5:30 am. The trend is mirroring in Pune and Ahmedabad, where several multiplexes have added round-the-clock screenings to manage the ticket frenzy. Exhibition sources suggest that more screens are expected to join this 24-hour screening model over the next 48 hours. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The sheer length of the film has also caused a historic shift at Mumbai's iconic Maratha Mandir. To accommodate the nearly four-hour runtime of Dhurandhar: The Revenge, the legendary Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ), which has occupied the 11:30 am slot for decades, will now be screened at 10:00 am starting March 18. This adjustment allows the theater to fit in three full shows of the sequel at 1:15 pm, 5:30 pm, and 9:45 pm. While similar shifts happened during the releases of Animal and Pushpa 2, moving the classic DDLJ show to 10:00 am is a rare occurrence for the historic single-screen. On the financial front, the film is witnessing a dominant performance in advance bookings. For the paid previews scheduled for March 18, the film has already recorded a gross of 38.50 Cr. For the official Day 1 (March 19), domestic advance sales have crossed 24.50 Cr, with more than 6.25 lakh tickets sold across 13,000+ shows in India. The global interest is equally strong, with overseas pre-sales estimated at approximately 60 Cr for the opening weekend. When combining the Indian premiere gross, the Day 1 advance sales, and the international bookings, the total global opening weekend pre-sales figure currently stands at a staggering 123+ Cr (including block seats). With two days still left for the official release, these numbers are expected to climb further as more midnight and early-morning slots are added across the country

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The strong momentum in bookings has been building steadily since ticket sales opened, with major multiplex chains reporting rapid ticket sales and multiple shows filling up quickly. Globally, the film is generating huge buzz with strong advance sales in overseas territories, including North America, the United Kingdom, and Australia.

Mumbai, March 16 - Superstar Salman Khan's upcoming war drama Battle of Galwan has undergone a major change, with the film now being titled Maatrubhumi. The announcement of the title change was made through a new striking poster, dropped on social media on March 16. The announcement of the title change came as a major surprise for the fans, as no one saw this coming. While everyone has been wondering what forced the makers to retitle the film, according to the report by Bollywood Hungama, the decision is linked to the current diplomatic sensitivity surrounding India and China. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) It is said that Salman Khan was advised in certain official and strategic quarters to not only rethink the title of the film, but also tone down the anti-China portions. Taking that feedback seriously, Salman chose to align the film with the larger national mood and preserve the broader sensitivity of the subject. The report also suggests that a significant part of the script has been rewritten to reshape the film into a more emotionally charged patriotic saga. As a result, the title was changed, and a substantial portion of the movie was reworked, with the conflict being fictionalised. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, the film was scheduled to release on April 17, but the makers are now reportedly looking to release Maatrubhumi in the window of July to October, depending on the approvals from the Ministry of Defence for the new version.

The project, which was previously known as Battle of Galwan, has now been retitled Maatrubhumi, signalling a stronger emotional and patriotic theme at the heart of the story.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) With the new title Maatrubhumi, which translates to "Motherland," the film's focus appears to shift toward the emotional connection between soldiers and their country. The title emphasises patriotism and the spirit of sacrifice, themes that are expected to play a central role in the narrative. The film is directed by Apoorva Lakhia and produced by Salma Khan under the banner of Salman Khan Films. The story of Maatrubhumi is inspired by the real-life Galwan Valley clash that occurred in 2020 along the Line of Actual Control between Indian and Chinese troops. The confrontation remains one of the most significant modern military standoffs between the two nations, and the film aims to pay tribute to the bravery of the Indian soldiers who fought under extreme conditions. Maatrubhumi was scheduled to release on April 17 this year, but has now been pushed back. The new date is yet to be locked. Stay tuned...

Mumbai, March 16 - The box office run of Dhurandhar continues to remain impressive even after more than three months in theatres. The Ranveer Singh-starrer has been in theatres since the first week of December 2025, and just ahead of the release of Dhurandhar 2, the makers decided to expand its release to over 1000 screens. Aditya Dhar's directed film recorded an excellent 1 crore gross collection in its 15th weekend, benefiting from a fresh round of screen expansion.
