Raja Shivaji has officially moved into its second week of theatrical run, and the performance on its eighth day shows a steady hold. On its second Friday, the film managed to collect ₹3.20 crore net in India. This represents a 20.0% drop compared to its Thursday collection of ₹4.00 crore. While there is a natural dip as it enters the new week, the film is maintaining a decent pace as it heads into the crucial second weekend. With these additions, the total India net collection now stands at ₹55.85 crore. The language-wise breakdown reveals that the Marathi version continues to be the primary driver for the film's success. On Friday, the Marathi version earned ₹2.50 crore, supported by a solid occupancy of 25.0% across 1,845 shows. In contrast, the Hindi version brought in ₹0.70 crore from a higher show count of 2,037, though the occupancy was lower at 10.0%. Looking at the overall totals so far, Marathi has contributed ₹38.75 crore to the net total, while Hindi has added ₹17.10 crore. The strong performance in Maharashtra is clearly keeping the film's momentum alive. In terms of theatrical reach, Raja Shivaji was playing across a total of 3,882 shows on Friday, recording an overall India occupancy of 17.1%. When we look at the performance in major national multiplex chains like PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, the movie saw steady footfalls. Approximately 9,500 tickets were sold across these chains on Friday. PVR saw around 3,700 ticket sales, while INOX followed closely with about 3,600 tickets. Cinepolis contributed around 2,200 tickets to the total. These major chains accounted for roughly 1,170 shows of the film's daily schedule. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The engagement on booking platforms like BookMyShow also reflects a healthy trend. After selling 1.22 million tickets in its opening week, the second Friday added another 109.78K bookings. This brings the total ticket count for the film to approximately 1.55 million. The initial pre-sales of 217K tickets gave the film a great start, and it is encouraging to see that it is still pulling in over a lakh viewers even on its eighth day. A 20% drop on the second Friday is a standard trend for films of this size as they enter their second week. The film has successfully exhausted its first-week audience and is now looking to capitalize on the second-weekend crowd. With a total India gross now standing at ₹66.23 crore, the film is in a good position to see a significant jump on Saturday and Sunday. If the Marathi markets continue to show high occupancy, Raja Shivaji should be able to post a very respectable second-week total.

Bhooth Bangla has entered its fourth week of theatrical run, and the performance on Day 22 shows a high level of stability. The film collected ₹1.75 crore on its fourth Friday, which is the same as its collection from Thursday. This flat hold is a positive trend for the movie, indicating that it is maintaining a steady pace at the ticket windows as it transitions into the fourth weekend. On the all-time list of highest 22nd-day collections for Bollywood, Bhooth Bangla has secured the 29th position. With a collection of ₹1.75 crore, the film has managed to outperform the 22nd-day numbers of several big titles. This includes Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (₹1.56 crore), Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 (₹1.40 crore), and even action films like War and Tiger Zinda Hai. With this steady Friday performance, the total India net collection for Bhooth Bangla now stands at ₹151.75 crore. If we include the gross collections, the domestic total reaches ₹180.06 crore. The film is also finding some traction in the international market, adding ₹0.10 crore on Day 22 to take its overseas gross to ₹52.95 crore. Combining all these figures, the worldwide gross collection has now reached ₹233.01 crore, solidifying its status as a significant commercial success. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Bhooth Bangla's collection on its 22nd day is significantly higher than what many of Akshay Kumar’s previous releases earned at the same point in their theatrical run. While this film collected ₹1.75 crore on Day 22, several of his other major post-COVID hits were trending well below this mark by their fourth Friday.Here is how some of his other notable releases performed on their 22nd day: Bhooth Bangla:₹1.75 Cr OMG 2: ₹1.10 Cr Kesari: ₹0.95 Cr Sooryavanshi: ₹0.71 Cr Jolly LLB 3: ₹0.50 Cr Housefull 5: ₹0.30 Cr Looking at the theatrical activity, the movie was playing across 3,939 shows on Friday with an overall occupancy of 10.0%. In the major national multiplex chains like PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, the film tracked about 3,356 tickets from 1,400+ shows. PVR led these chains with 1,570 tickets sold, followed by INOX with 1,190. While the occupancy in these premium chains was lower at 1.12%, the broader performance across single screens and smaller centers seems to be providing the bulk of the stability. The ticket booking trends on BookMyShow further highlight how the film has maintained momentum over the weeks. Starting with 170K pre-sales, it sold 1.45 million tickets in its first week and 811K in the second week. Even in its third week, it managed a healthy 401K tickets. For its fourth Friday specifically, the film saw 28.38K tickets booked, bringing the total count to over 28.64 lakh tickets. These are very healthy numbers for a mid-budget film entering its fourth week of run.

Mumbai, May 7 - Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has already created history at the global box office with 1800 crores gross collection, and now the focus has shifted towards its much-awaited OTT release. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the action spectacle turned into a worldwide phenomenon during its theatrical run and emerged as the second-highest-grossing Indian film ever made. After dominating cinemas for weeks, audiences are now eagerly waiting to watch the blockbuster from the comfort of their homes. Dhurandhar 2 OTT Release Date and Streaming Partner (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Although the makers are yet to officially announce the streaming premiere date, the film is expected to arrive on the platform sometime this month (May 2026), most probably in the third week of May. It has increasingly become a norm that Bollywood films arrive on digital platforms after 8 weeks of theatrical run. The film will complete an 8-week window on May 13, and it may arrive anytime soon after that. JioHotstar has the streaming rights of the movie, a change in strategy after the first Dhurandhar debuted on Netflix after a theatrical run. What To Expect From Streaming Release (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Dhurandhar, which was released in theatres in December last year, was a massive success for Netflix despite most of the target audience watching it in theatres. The film pulled off massive box office numbers as one of the highest-grossing Indian films ever, with 1300+ crores worldwide, but what led to a huge response on Netflix was also the curiosity around Dhurandhar 2, which released in theatres on March 19. It clocked nearly 32 million views, making it one of the most-watched Indian films on streaming. While the makers are expecting similar numbers for Dhurandhar 2 on JioHotstar, that might not be possible due to various reasons. The film doesn't have the advantage of curiosity, unlike the first film, for which the anticipation for part two led to big numbers. Secondly, a higher number of people than Dhurandhar has already watched the sequel in theatres, so that may also reduce the digital views for the film. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The OTT release of Dhurandhar 2 is still expected to become a major event in itself, considering the unprecedented box office run, but it might not be able to pull off similar numbers to the first film. Even though the expectations are high, scoring such big numbers again is unlikely to happen. Dhurandhar Franchise Reaches New Heights The film's historic box office success has firmly established the Dhurandhar franchise among the biggest cinematic brands in Indian cinema today. With unfiltered action, patriotic themes, stylish storytelling, and a strong emotional core, the sequel managed to connect with audiences across languages and regions. It is the highest-grossing Indian film series with 3100 crores worldwide collection across both films.

Dhurandhar 2 has entered its eighth week of theatrical run, and the performance on its 51st day shows that the film is still holding its ground quite well for a movie that has been playing for nearly two months.While it is standard for collections to taper off after seven weeks, the activity on Friday suggests that the weekend transition is helping the film stay relevant at the ticket windows. One of the most encouraging signs for the film is the trend in ticket bookings on BookMyShow. On its 8th Friday, the movie saw approximately 12.88K tickets being booked. This is a noticeable improvement compared to the 8th Thursday, where the booking count stood at 10.96K. This increase indicates that the audience is still showing interest in catching the film on the big screen during the weekend, even with several new releases currently in the market. On Day 51, Dhurandhar 2 managed to collect an India net of ₹0.42 crore. When we look at the language breakdown, it is clear that the Hindi version continues to be the primary engine for the film, contributing ₹0.40 crore from 620 shows with an occupancy of 16.0%. The Tamil and Telugu versions are playing on a very limited number of screens now, contributing around ₹0.01 crore each. For a film on its 51st day, maintaining over 600 shows in the Hindi belt is a significant achievement in itself. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) If we take a step back and look at the overall journey, the total India net collection has reached a massive ₹1,141.09 crore. This total is built on a very strong foundation across all languages. The Hindi version alone has contributed a staggering ₹1,072.79 crore. The Telugu version follows with ₹42.98 crore, and the Tamil version has brought in ₹19.72 crore. Even the smaller markets like Kannada and Malayalam have contributed ₹3.83 crore and ₹1.77 crore respectively. These numbers reflect how the film performed like a true pan-India blockbuster during its peak weeks. Looking at the performance in national multiplex chains like PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, the film recorded 2,455 ticket sales across 357 shows on Friday. This resulted in a gross collection of ₹7.78 lakh from these chains. PVR led the way with 1,274 tickets sold and a gross of ₹4.59 lakh, while INOX followed with 960 tickets and a gross of ₹2.58 lakh. Although the overall occupancy in these chains was over 4%, the fact that it is still occupying 270+ venues across the country shows that exhibitors still find value in keeping the film on their schedules. The regional occupancy data provides some very interesting insights. In Chennai, the film saw an impressive overall occupancy of 54.5% for its 5 shows. The night shows in Chennai were particularly busy, hitting 72.0% occupancy, which is remarkable for an eighth-week run. In Hyderabad, the movie maintained a steady 25.8% occupancy across 7 shows, with the afternoon screenings performing the best at 35.0%. The improvement in Friday's bookings suggests a healthy eighth weekend ahead, where we can expect stable numbers or a small growth on Saturday and Sunday. With the total net collection already sitting comfortably at ₹1,141.09 crore, these daily additions are just rounding off a historic performance. The film has already secured its blockbuster status and is now looking at a very professional and steady conclusion at the ticket windows.

According to a report by Pinkvilla, the makers are currently targeting a grand theatrical release in December 2027. The report also states that major shooting portions featuring Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, and Sai Pallavi are expected to be completed by April 2027 before the film enters a lengthy post-production phase due to its extensive VFX work and massive scale.

Director Nag Ashwin is aiming to surpass the visual grandeur and storytelling scale of the first film.

Mumbai, May 8 - The devotional epic Krishnavataram Part 1: The Heart has opened to a modest start at the Indian box office, but the film is expected to witness significant growth over the weekend due to positive audience reactions and strong appeal among family audiences. Directed by Hardik Gajjar, the film generated a decent buzz with its visually stunning trailer and true retelling of Lord Krishna's journey. The advance booking indicated a low start, as the movie has earned around fifty lakh gross on its opening day at the Indian box office. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) While the start is on the lower side, considering the scale of the production, the makers and exhibitors remain optimistic because devotional and mythological films often gain momentum after word-of-mouth spreads among audiences, and this is happening with the film on the second day. The positive response after the first day is clearly reflected in the second day footfalls, as the film is looking to score more than 100% growth. In fact, it is trending on BookMyShow with hourly ticket sales topping 1K+, which is a clear indication of word of mouth doing its thing. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Krishnavataram Part 1 explores the journey of Lord Krishna from Dwarka to Kurukshetra while blending themes of devotion, destiny, and sacrifice. Mounted on a grand scale, the movie is planned as the first instalment in a trilogy and has been released in multiple languages to target a wider audience base.

The first week for Ek Din has been a struggle at the box office, as the film failed to generate any significant interest from the audience. After its first seven days in theaters, the movie has managed a total India net collection of just 4.00 Crore. The film lacked the necessary momentum even during its opening weekend and saw a sharp decline in collections once the weekdays began, settling into a very low range. Looking at the daily breakdown, the film opened with 1.15 Crore on its first Friday and maintained a steady hold through Saturday and Sunday. However, like many mid-budget releases, it faced a significant drop on its first Monday, with collections falling to 0.25 Crore. There was a minor uptick on Tuesday, but the momentum gradually slowed down as the week concluded. On Day 7, the film added 0.19 Crore to its domestic tally.

The performance at national cinema chains was equally sluggish, where it managed to sell just over 33,000 tickets throughout the first seven days. The language-wise split shows that the Hindi version was the primary contributor, though it only managed an 11.9 percent average occupancy across 8,604 shows to earn 3.53 Crore net. The film also had a minimal presence in South Indian markets, where the Tamil version saw the highest average occupancy at 16.6 percent from just 354 shows, resulting in 0.14 Crore. The Telugu version contributed 0.33 Crore from 752 shows with an occupancy of 13.9 percent. Globally, the movie stands at a worldwide gross of 5.16 Crore, comprising 4.71 Crore from India and a small overseas contribution of 0.45 Crore. Heading into the second week, the film's poor performance makes it difficult to justify retaining significant screen space against newer releases.
