Tumbadchi Manjula Week 2 Box Office: Siddharth Jadhav Starrer Becomes Profitable; Nears 12 Crore Net

BY CHRISTA LINCY

Tumbadchi Manjula has officially completed its second week at the box office, emerging as a profitable venture for its makers. Directed by Vishal Devrukhkar, who is widely recognized for the successful Boyz franchise, the film brings together village folklore and high-energy slapstick comedy. Starring Siddharth Jadhav in a leading role, the horror-comedy has managed to resonate well with its target audience, particularly in the regional circuits. As of the end of its 14th day, the film has achieved a total worldwide gross collection of ₹13.13 Cr, all of which has come from the domestic market. In terms of India net collections, the movie stands at ₹11.50 Cr. These numbers have been achieved across 7,915 shows nationwide. Given that the project was produced on an estimated budget of ₹6 Cr, the current collections indicate that the film has comfortably moved into the profit zone within its first two weeks. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The second week proved to be a period of strong stability for the film. It collected approximately ₹5.65 Cr net during this window, with the second weekend providing a significant boost. The film saw its highest single-day collection on the second Sunday (Day 10), netting ₹1.73 Cr with an impressive 52% occupancy. Even more encouraging for a regional title is its performance in national multiplex chains, where it sold over 19,800 tickets during the second week alone. The journey began on a steady note when the film opened with ₹54 lakh net on its first Friday. This performance earned it the spot for the fourth-highest opening for a Marathi film in 2026, trailing only behind major releases like Raja Shivaji, Deool Band 2, and krantijyoti vidyalay marathi madhyam. The consistent word-of-mouth regarding Siddharth Jadhav's comedic timing and the spooky-yet-funny narrative has helped the film maintain its pace against these larger competitors. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The plot itself is rooted in a rustic regional backdrop, focusing on a group of villagers who inadvertently cross paths with a localized supernatural entity named Manjula. The film blends traditional superstitions with situational comedy, as the characters navigate the chaos caused by their own predicaments. By balancing spooky encounters with humor, the film has successfully captured a wide audience base, ensuring a healthy theatrical run as it enters its third week.

Cocktail 2 Day 1 Live News Update: Shahid Kapoor Starrer Secures Solid 8.83 Cr Opening Start

BY CHRISTA LINCY

Homi Adajania returns to the director's chair today, June 19, for the release of Cocktail 2, a film that carries the weight of a fourteen-year legacy. The original 2012 movie remains a definitive benchmark for the urban romantic-comedy genre, having turned a modest 35 Crore budget into a worldwide gross of over 121 Crore. Back then, the film benefited from a grounded narrative and a soundtrack that became a cultural staple. The challenge for this spiritual successor is to capture that same contemporary charm while navigating a significantly different theatrical environment in 2026. Live Now The new narrative is led by the trio of Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna. For Shahid Kapoor, this release is a critical one as it marks his second major appearance of the year. His earlier outing in February, O Romeo, was a commercial disappointment that netted only 8.50 Crore on its opening day despite a very wide release. However, the early interest in Cocktail 2 indicates a much stronger resonance with the audience. By focusing on a fresh dynamic between the leads and maintaining the director’s signature style, the film is positioned to perform significantly better than Shahid's previous release. LIVE BLOG 02:20 PM (IST) 19 JUN 2026 Cocktail 2 Day 1 Live Update: Joins Elite Club With 100K+ Tickets Sold on BMS Cocktail 2 has achieved a significant milestone in its pre-release journey, officially crossing the 100,000 ticket sales mark on BookMyShow. This feat makes it only the fourth Bollywood film of 2026 to achieve a six-figure advance on the platform, joining an elite group that includes the record-breaking Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, the patriotic war drama Border 2, and the horror-comedy hit Bhooth Bangla. 01:30 PM (IST) 19 JUN 2026 Cocktail 2 Day 1 Live Update: Net Collection Crosses 2.25 Cr Mark The matinee shows for Cocktail 2 have provided a significant push as the film officially crosses the 2 Crore mark during its afternoon window. As of current tracking on its opening day, the movie has collected a net of ₹2.29 Cr across 4,160 shows nationwide. This takes the total India gross collection to ₹2.70 Cr so far. The increase in show counts and steady occupancy in urban centers suggests that the positive critical reception is beginning to convert into walk-in ticket sales. The focus now shifts to the evening and night shows, which will determine if the film can hit the projected double-digit start. 11.45 AM (IST) 19 JUN 2026 Cocktail 2 Day 1 Live Update: Net Collection Hits 1.17 Cr Across 2,900+ Shows The live tracking for Cocktail 2 shows a steady progression as the film heads into the afternoon window. As of now, the movie has officially crossed the 1 Crore mark, netting ₹1.17 Cr in India so far today. Currently playing across 2,972 shows nationwide, the total gross collection has reached ₹1.38 Cr. With the 4-star critical reception now circulating, the occupancy is likely to see a healthy jump during the evening shows as spot bookings begin to ramp up. 10:15 AM (IST) 19 JUN 2026 Cocktail 2 Box Office: Kriti Sanon's Top 5 Post-Covid Openers vs Prediction Kriti Sanon has maintained a consistent theatrical presence in the post-pandemic era. With Cocktail 2 receiving a 4-star rating from critics and showing strong spot bookings, it is expected to challenge the upper tier of her recent filmography. Currently, her top openers are: 1. Tere Ishk Mein – ₹16.00 Cr 2. Crew – ₹9.25 Cr 3. TBMAUJ – ₹6.70 Cr 4. Shehzada – ₹6.00 Cr 5. Ganapath – ₹2.50 Cr Considering the Cocktail 2 advance gross of 8.83 Cr and the positive word-of-mouth trending in multiplexes, early projections suggest the film could net between ₹11.00 Cr – ₹12.00 Cr on its first day. If these estimates hold, Cocktail 2 will likely emerge as Kriti Sanon's second-highest opening film in the post-Covid period, overtaking Crew. 10:00 AM (IST) 19 JUN 2026 Cocktail 2 Review: Taran Adarsh Calls It A WINNER; Awards 4 Stars Trade analyst Taran Adarsh has shared his early verdict on Cocktail 2, describing it as a total WINNER. Awarding the film a strong 4-star rating, he noted that the movie more than lives up to the massive expectations following the 2012 original.

Deool Band 2 Week 4 Box Office: Needs 1 Crore to Surpass Raja Shivaji and Become 3rd Highest Grossing Marathi Movie of All Time

BY CHRISTA LINCY

Deool Band 2 has just completed its fourth week at the box office, and the numbers indicate a remarkably stable run for a regional film. As of the end of day 29, the movie has reached a total India net collection of 69.97 Cr. This performance is particularly impressive considering it has been achieved across more than 40,000 shows nationwide. While the daily collections have naturally settled into a lower range, the film is showing a level of resilience that few expected when it first released. Looking at the week 4 totals, the film added 6.22 Cr to its domestic net. The latter half of the week showed high stability, with day 29 matching the previous day net of 0.35 Cr. This steady pace is supported by strong ticket sales on digital platforms. On BookMyShow alone, the film has sold over 2.21 million tickets to date, with nearly 9,000 tickets being booked in the last 24 hours. For a Marathi project, moving over 24,000 tickets in national multiplex chains during its fourth week is a very positive indicator of sustained interest. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film's trajectory has been marked by a very steady holding power, allowing it to maintain momentum even as it enters its second month. Here is the week-by-week net collection breakdown for Deool Band 2 so far: Week 1 Collection: ₹30.20 Cr Week 2 Collection: ₹22.40 Cr Week 3 Collection: ₹11.15 Cr Week 4 Collection: ₹6.22 Cr The real story here is how Deool Band 2 is now on the verge of making history in Marathi cinema. With its current net at 69.97 Cr, it needs just about one more crore to beat the 71 Cr net record of Raja Shivaji. What makes this achievement standout is the difference in scale; while Raja Shivaji was a much larger production, Deool Band 2 has reached this milestone in just one month primarily through strong word-of-mouth. If it manages to cross that threshold, it will officially become the third highest-grossing Marathi film of all time. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) As it stands, the film is trailing only behind the all-time leaders Sairat, which holds the top spot at 80.97 Cr net, and Baipan Bhari Deva at 76 Cr. Given the current trajectory, the third-place spot looks well within reach. The film ability to maintain a gross collection of 82.19 Cr entirely from the domestic market, with no overseas contribution, speaks volumes about its deep penetration into its core audience. The next few days will be crucial in determining if it can finalise its climb up the all-time charts.

BY CHRISTA LINCY

Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has concluded its 13th week in theaters, reaching a level of commercial success that few films in the history of Indian cinema have touched. With a worldwide gross of ₹1,813.33 Cr, the film has cemented itself as an all-time blockbuster. The India gross stands at ₹1,375.33 Cr, while the overseas markets contributed a strong ₹438 Cr. In terms of net collections in India, the film has officially earned ₹1,149.24 Cr, a figure achieved across a massive total of 527,860 shows since its release in March. Even after three months of release, the film is still finding a place on theater screens. During Week 13, it managed to collect ₹0.08 Cr in India net. While the volumes are naturally low at this stage, the film maintained a surprising average occupancy of approximately 19% across its 126 shows for the week. In the national multiplex chains, it still managed to sell over 600 tickets during this late phase, indicating that a dedicated segment of the audience was still choosing to experience the film on the big screen. This theatrical resilience comes even as the movie expands its digital reach; following its premiere on JioHotstar on June 4, 2026, with widespread streaming beginning on June 5, Dhurandhar 2 is now also premiering on Netflix starting today, June 19. The journey of the film from its massive opening to its final weeks highlights a very strong holding power in a competitive market. Here is the week-by-week net collection breakdown of the film's 92-day theatrical run: Week 1 Collection: ₹674.17 Cr Week 2 Collection: ₹263.65 Cr Week 3 Collection: ₹110.60 Cr Week 4 Collection: ₹54.70 Cr Week 5 Collection: ₹19.52 Cr Week 6 Collection: ₹12.45 Cr Week 7 Collection: ₹5.58 Cr Week 8 Collection: ₹3.89 Cr Week 9 Collection: ₹2.19 Cr Week 10 Collection: ₹1.45 Cr Week 11 Collection: ₹0.82 Cr Week 12 Collection: ₹0.14 Cr Week 13 Collection: ₹0.08 Cr To look closer at the final week of its major theatrical presence, here is the day-wise net collection breakdown for Week 13: Dhurandhar 2 Week 13 - India Net Collection BreakdownDAYINDIA NET COLLECTIONDay 86 (13th Fri)₹ 0.01 CrDay 87 (13th Sat)₹ 0.01 CrDay 88 (13th Sun)₹ 0.02 CrDay 89 (13th Mon)₹ 0.01 CrDay 90 (13th Tue)₹ 0.01 CrDay 91 (13th Wed)₹ 0.01 CrDay 92 (14th Thu)₹ 0.01 CrTotal Week 13₹ 0.08 Cr
