Mumbai, June 30 - Ajay Devgn's upcoming film Chauhaan has landed in controversy shortly after the release of its announcement teaser, with several groups objecting to the film's title and dialogues. The action drama, directed by Neeraj Yadav and produced by Jio Studios and Colour Yellow Productions, was announced with a high-intensity teaser that quickly grabbed attention across social media platforms. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The controversy began after the Kshatriya Parishad, a Rajput socio-cultural organisation, raised objections to the use of the "Chauhan" clan name in the film's title. The group accused the makers of exploiting Rajput identity and history for commercial and political storytelling. In a statement, members of the organisation said that the legacy of the Chauhan community should not be used in a manner that could hurt sentiments or create social divisions. Adding fuel to the debate was a dialogue from the teaser that says, Pathaanon se kehna… Chauhaan aa raha hai. The line instantly went viral online and sparked mixed reactions from viewers. While some fans viewed it as a typical mass-action punchline designed to build hype around Ajay Devgn's character, others criticised it for allegedly carrying communal undertones. A section of social media users also speculated whether the line was an indirect reference to Shah Rukh Khan’s blockbuster film Pathaan. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) We strongly condemn the attempt by Neeraj Yadav and Ajay Devgn's upcoming film Chauhaan to appropriate the Chauhan clan name for contemporary communal politics.Rajput history is not a political prop.

The organisation urged filmmakers to portray historical identities responsibly and avoid using caste or community names in a controversial context. However, supporters of the film believe the criticism may be premature, noting that only a teaser has been released and the film's full story is yet to be revealed. Despite the backlash, Chauhaan has succeeded in generating significant buzz online and has already become one of the most talked-about Bollywood announcements in recent days. The film marks Ajay Devgn's first collaboration with Aanand L Rai and is currently scheduled for a theatrical release on October 1, 2027.

Mumbai, June 25 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar's Welcome To The Jungle has opened to a decent response at the Indian box office, with the film showing trends quite similar to the actor's previous release Bhooth Bangla. Pre-sales pattern of the comedy entertainer is nearly identical to Bhooth Bangla, especially when block seats are excluded, hinting towards a similar opening day performance as well. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to estimates, Welcome To The Jungle has scored around 3.75 crore net from its limited paid previews, translating to approximately 4.50 crore gross. Interestingly, these numbers are on par with the paid preview collections of Bhooth Bangla, further strengthening comparisons between the two Akshay Kumar releases. Despite carrying the popular Welcome franchise brand and a massive ensemble cast, the film's initial response has remained steady rather than extraordinary. Trade experts believe that spot bookings and audience word-of-mouth will now decide whether the film can register strong growth over the weekend.

Bhooth Bangla opened to 12.25 crores net (16 crores net with paid previews), and the latest entertainer is also heading to score a similar opening. While the effect of the word of mouth will be known over the weekend, initial response seems to be positive, which is good news. Directed by Ahmed Khan, the third instalment of the iconic franchise features an ensemble lineup including Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Jacqueline Fernandez, Disha Patani, Arshad Warsi, Shreyas Talpade and Rajpal Yadav, among others. The film aims to revive the chaos and comic madness associated with the iconic Welcome franchise.

The trailer and promotional content have further increased audience curiosity, especially among family viewers. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) While the excitement in the trade is palpable, the advance booking suggests a decent start, rather than a big opening. The trade is projecting the film to take the opening of 20+ crores net, but the initial response in the pre-sales doesn't give the impression of being a front-loaded opener. Instead, the movie is looking to open in the 15 crore net range. There are paid previews, so things can change pretty quickly if the reception is positive, just like it happened with Akshay Kumar's last film, Bhooth Bangal. The Priyadarshan's directoial scored 3.75 crores net in previews and 12.25 crore net on its pure opening day. Welcome 3 is heading towards a similar opening, since the genre has a mass appeal, which often reflects in strong spot bookings. The big advantage for the movie is that the franchise has strong value, plus the star cast is also huge. So, if the word of mouth is positive, even a 20 crore opening can't be ruled out, but it will still need decent pre-sales to achieve the target. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) While the nostalgia factor is working in its favour, viewers will expect the film to recreate the charm of the earlier instalments, particularly the first film, which went on to become a cult classic due to its fresh humour and the iconic cast. If the content connects with audiences, Welcome To The Jungle could emerge as one of Akshay Kumar's biggest comedy successes in recent years and continue his success streak.

According to the Pinkvilla report, the film will have paid preview shows on June 25, one day before its official release on June 26, 2026. The strategy, though not a regular practice, has become increasingly popular in Bollywood, as it helps films create early word-of-mouth and build strong opening-day collections.

As per the latest trade projections, Welcome 3 is expected to take a very good start at the domestic box office. With paid previews, strong pre-release buzz, and a star-studded cast, the movie is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated Bollywood releases of 2026. All eyes are now on the booking response and whether the film can translate its online hype into massive box office numbers. Akshay headlines the film alongside a massive ensemble cast that includes Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Arshad Warsi, Jacqueline Fernandez, Disha Patani, Raveena Tandon, Lara Dutta, Johnny Lever, Rajpal Yadav, and several other actors.

Mumbai, June 13 - The crowded June 12 box office clash has produced an unexpected winner, with Vikram Bhatt's horror thriller Haunted 3D: Echoes of the Past emerging as the strongest opener among the major Hindi releases. Despite facing competition from star-driven films such as Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata, Main Vaapas Aaunga, and Governor: The Silent Saviour, the horror film managed to attract audiences on its opening day and take the lead at the ticket counters. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to estimates, Haunted 3D collected around 2.5 crore net on its first day in India, outperforming all the notable new releases. The film appears to have benefited from strong interest among horror fans and the brand value associated with Vikram Bhatt's earlier horror successes. Its opening is being viewed as a pleasant surprise, especially considering the intense competition it faced from multiple releases. Meanwhile, Main Vaapas Aaunga, directed by Imtiaz Ali, opened on expected lines with collections in the 1.15 crore range. The film managed to edge past Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata and secure the second position among the Hindi releases of the day. While the opening numbers are modest, the film's target audience and word-of-mouth will be crucial in determining its long-term theatrical prospects. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Kangana Ranaut's Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata also recorded an opening close to industry expectations. The film, based on the heroic efforts of nurses during the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, collected around 1 crore net on its first day amid stiff competition at the box office. Manoj Bajpayee's Governor also performed on the expected lines, bringing in around 90 lakh net. The film now relies heavily on positive audience feedback and weekend growth to improve its theatrical trajectory. The battle, however, is far from over. With multiple films catering to different audience segments, the weekend trend will determine whether Haunted 3D can maintain its surprise lead or if Main Vaapas Aaunga and Bharat Bhagya Vidhata can gain momentum through word-of-mouth. For now, the horror genre has once again demonstrated its ability to punch above its weight at the Indian box office.
