Ek Din Week 1 Box Office: Underwhelming Rs. 4.00 Cr India Net as Film Struggles to Find Momentum

BY CHRISTA LINCY

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 average occupancy for the opening week remained low at 11.76 percent, with even the weekend shows barely crossing the 14 percent mark. 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.

Awarapan 2 Distribution: Pen Marudhar Boards Emraan Hashmi Starrer for August 2026 Release Against Lahore 1947

BY CHRISTA LINCY

As Awarapan 2 moves through its production phase for a 2026 release, recent trade updates have revealed significant details regarding the film's theatrical distribution strategy.. In a major development first reported by Pinkvilla, it has been confirmed that Pen Marudhar has officially acquired the distribution rights for this Emraan Hashmi and Disha Patani starrer. The deal has reportedly been locked on an advance basis for an impressive figure, signaling deep confidence in the project despite the heavy competition it faces during the Independence Day weekend. This deal follows a broader trend of high-stakes theatrical acquisitions for 2026, including Shah Rukh Khan's action thriller King, which was reportedly picked up for a massive ₹250 crore ahead of its Christmas release. These figures highlight the growing confidence distributors have in the theatrical market for the upcoming year. The sequel carries immense emotional weight as it brings back Emraan Hashmi in his iconic role as Shivam Pandit, nearly 19 years after the 2007 original became a cult classic. The story is expected to pick up directly from the threads of the first film, revealing that Shivam survived the harrowing events of the climax and is now embarking on a new mission. This return to the brooding, tragic hitman persona is being viewed as the perfect comeback vehicle for Hashmi, tapping into the nostalgia of an era defined by his soulful musical dramas. The involvement of Pen Marudhar is particularly significant given the high-stakes theatrical environment of 2026. Awarapan 2 is set for a grand release on August 14, 2026, which puts it in a direct clash with Sunny Deol’s Lahore 1947, scheduled for August 13. By partnering with the distribution arm of Pen Studios, the producers have ensured that the film will secure a wide release across the country. Pen Marudhar has a proven track record of navigating high-profile box office clashes, and their expertise will be vital in ensuring that Shivam Pandit’s story reaches its core audience even amidst a major holiday face-off. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) While the first Awarapan was technically a box office disappointment during its initial run in 2007, its legacy grew exponentially over the years through satellite television and digital platforms. It is now regarded as one of the finest romantic action films in Hindi cinema, largely due to its intense emotional core and a chart-busting musical album. The sequel, directed by Nitin Kakkar of Filmistaan fame, aims to replicate that magic. With the romantic musical genre seeing a significant resurgence in recent times, the trade is hopeful that Awarapan 2 will not only take a solid start but also finally provide Emraan Hashmi with a major clean hit. Vishesh Films is currently moving ahead with the production, with Vishesh Bhatt and Mukesh Bhatt serving as producers. The cast features Emraan Hashmi and Disha Patani in the lead roles, with veteran actress Shabana Azmi also playing a significant part in the story. As the film approaches its Independence Day 2026 release, the challenge will be to balance the legacy of the original with the expectations of today's moviegoers. Its theatrical outcome will largely depend on whether the sequel can recapture the specific emotional and musical tone that gave the first film its cult status.

Dhurandhar The Revenge OTT Release: Netflix to Stream Extended Raw and Undekha Version Internationally; Check Details

BY CHRISTA LINCY

Dhurandhar The Revenge has reached a significant milestone today, marking 50 days of its dominant run in the theatrical circuit. While the film continues to attract audiences to the big screen, the focus has now shifted toward its highly anticipated digital premiere. According to reports from Bollywood Hungama, the sequel is set to make its international OTT debut on Netflix starting May 14. This news comes just as the movie cements its position as one of the most successful blockbusters in recent history. What has specifically caught the attention of the global audience is the version being prepared for the streaming platform. The title is currently listed on Netflix as Dhurandhar The Revenge (Raw and Undekha), indicating that viewers will have access to footage that was not part of the original theatrical release. The runtime displayed on the app is 3 hours and 52 minutes, which makes it exactly three minutes longer than the theatrical cut that ran for 3 hours and 49 minutes. While three minutes might seem like a minor addition, in a high-stakes action thriller of this magnitude, even a small amount of extra footage often provides deeper character context or extended sequences that fans are eager to see. The film features a massive ensemble cast including Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal, under the direction of Aditya Dhar. Produced by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, the project followed the massive success of the first installment released in late 2025. The sequel managed to surpass the records of the original, benefiting from the intense hype and the reputation of Aditya Dhar for delivering high-quality cinematic experiences. The decision to release a Raw and Undekha version internationally appears to be a strategy to maintain the momentum and offer a fresh experience to those who have already watched it multiple times in theaters. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The massive theatrical success of the franchise has already translated into record-breaking numbers in the digital space. The first installment set an incredibly high bar on Netflix, trending in the Global Top 10 for a remarkable 10 consecutive weeks. By the end of its tenth week, the film had amassed over 101 million viewing hours globally. As of its 11th week, the movie has officially crossed the 32 million views milestone. The viewership data shows a particularly strong hold, with a peak of 8.2 million views in its second week and a notable late-stage resurgence in weeks eight and nine, where it jumped back up to 3.0 million views. This sustained interest highlights a massive global appetite for the series that the upcoming extended version of the sequel is poised to capitalize on. While the international release on Netflix is confirmed, the situation for the Indian audience remains slightly different. In India, the film is expected to stream on the JioHotstar platform. As of now, there is no official confirmation regarding whether the Indian streaming version will also feature the extended three-minute footage or if it will remain the standard theatrical cut. Given the massive domestic fan base and the blockbuster status of the franchise, there is significant curiosity among local viewers about whether they will also get to see this longer version of the revenge saga.

Michael Tops 50 Crore Gross As Devil Wears Prada 2 Scores 22 Crore First Week In India; Project Hail Mary Finishes With 85+ Crore Gross

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Mumbai, May 8 - The Hollywood films are on a winning spree at the Indian box office with back-to-back successes. After Ryan Gosling's Project Hail Mary struck an unlikely big success, Michael Jackson's biopic, Michael, followed suit to join the Hollywood hits at the Indian box office. Michael Crosses A Major Milestone (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Michael has turned out to be one of the strongest performers among recent Hollywood releases. Despite competition from multiple local films and changing audience trends, the movie has maintained impressive momentum during its theatrical run and officially crossed the 50 crore gross milestone worldwide. The cult following of Pop King, along with decent word of mouth, has played a major role in the film's success. In two weeks (14 days), the musical biopic has grossed approximately 53 crores at the Indian box office, and is currently the second-highest-grossing Hollywood film in the country. Michael scored around 22 crores gross in the second week, dropping by just around 30% from the opening frame. With a steady run, the film will be looking to finish its theatrical run in India at 70+ crores gross, a solid number for a niche subject. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The Devil Wears Prada 2 Ends First Week With 22 Crore In India Hollywood comedy-drama sequel Devil Wears Prada 2, starring Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, has wrapped up its first week in India with a collection of around 22 crore gross. The film opened to decent urban occupancy and performed best in metro cities, including Mumbai, Bengaluru, Delhi, and Hyderabad. It will be aiming to finish its run with around 40 crore gross. Project Hail Mary Finishes With 85+ Crore Gross The biggest Hollywood success story of 2026 at the Indian box office, Project Hail Mary, has almost concluded its theatrical run. While the film failed to reach the 100 crores gross mark, it managed to clock 85+ crores gross, a solid result for a sci-fi space film. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Even though the movie is still playing in limited theatres, sustaining a collection with growing competition will make it tough to retain showcasing, especially with a slowing trajectory. In six weeks (43 days) so far, Project Hail Mary has minted 85.50 crores gross, with very little room to score more. With Michael crossing a major milestone, Devil Wears Prada 2 delivering a steady India run, and Project Hail Mary ending with blockbuster numbers, Hollywood films continue to maintain a visible presence at the Indian box office, with major blockbusters yet to come in the form of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, Avengers: Doomsday, Dune Part 3, and Jumanji: Open World, among many others.

Patriot Week 1 Box Office: Record-Breaking Overseas, but Underwhelming Rs. 26.98 Cr Net Misses Top 10 by a 1.24% Margin

BY CHRISTA LINCY

Patriot, the high-stakes collaboration bringing together the two titans of Malayalam cinema, Mohanlal and Mammootty, has concluded its first week at the box office. While the film has managed to etch its name into the record books internationally, the domestic performance presents a much more complex and somewhat concerning picture. When a film is mounted on a massive reported budget of 125 Crore, the expectations are naturally sky-high, but the current momentum suggests that the star power of the lead duo is doing the heavy lifting against a tide of mixed audience feedback. If we look at the internal trend, the film started with a solid 10.00 Crore on its opening Friday, but the slide thereafter has been quite steep. By the time it reached its seventh day, the daily collection dropped to 0.93 Crore, marking a 22.5 percent decline from the previous day. For a project mounted on a massive reported budget of 125 Crore, hitting sub-one-crore levels within the first week is a signal that the theatrical run might be shorter than anticipated. Across its first seven days, the film was screened across a total of 14,445 shows with an average weekly occupancy of 30.7 percent. This brings the total India net collection for the first week to 26.98 Crore, meaning it missed out on the all-time top 10 opening week list by a narrow 1.24 percent margin. The ticketing data from BookMyShow tells the story of an initial rush that eventually cooled off. The film recorded a total of 928,010 ticket sales for the week, but it is important to note that a massive 333,000 of these were sold during the pre-sales phase alone. Excluding those early bookings, the film sold 595,000 tickets during its active run. This indicates that while the curiosity to see the two legends together was immense, the subsequent word-of-mouth did not translate into a sustained surge in footfalls. Similarly, the performance in national cinema chains resulted in a final total of 69,950 tickets for the week. Despite the domestic struggle, the international market has provided a massive silver lining. Patriot has officially become Mammootty’s highest-grossing film overseas, surpassing the record previously held by Kalamkaval(₹38.70 Cr). The film earned 41.50 Crore gross internationally in just one week. The Middle East was a major contributor with a 1.2 million dollar opening day, while North America saw a steady weekend total of 334,000 dollars. In Australia and New Zealand, it made history by becoming only the second Malayalam film to ever cross the 100,000 Australian dollar mark on an opening day. By its first Monday in North America, it had already reached a total of 442,000 dollars. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) However, when we look at the historical rankings of Malayalam cinema, Patriot narrowly missed a spot in the elite Top 10 opening week collections. It currently sits at the 11th position, having been edged out by Marco by a razor-thin margin of just 34 Lakhs. Given the 125 Crore budget, missing this list highlights the uphill task the film faces in reaching the break-even mark. Here is how the current Top 10 stands for the opening week net collections in Mollywood: Top 10 Malayalam Movies - Opening Week India NetRANKMOVIE NAMEWEEK 1 INDIA NET1L2: Empuraan₹ 80.70 Cr2Vaazha 2₹ 55.05 Cr3Thudarum₹ 50.34 Cr4Lokah: Chapter 1₹ 42.45 Cr5Aadu Jeevitham₹ 40.82 Cr6Aadu 3₹ 36.63 Cr7Sarvam Maya₹ 35.10 Cr8Aavesham₹ 30.45 Cr9Guruvayoorambala Nadayil₹ 28.65 Cr10Marco₹ 27.32 Cr At the close of Week 1, the total India gross for Patriot stands at 31.30 Crore, with Kerala accounting for the bulk of it at 23.81 Crore. When combined with the record-breaking overseas gross of 41.50 Crore, the worldwide total has reached 72.80 Crore. While the overseas success is a personal milestone for Mammootty and a win for the industry's global footprint, the film will need a miracle of a second weekend to recover its massive investment and find stability in the domestic market.

Raja Shivaji Week 1 Box Office Collection: Film Makes History as First Marathi Movie to Cross 50 Cr Net in Opening Week

BY CHRISTA LINCY

Raja Shivaji has rewritten the record books for Marathi cinema, setting a benchmark that will be hard to surpass. The film has officially become the first Marathi production to cross the 50 Crore net mark within its opening week alone. By the end of its seventh day, the movie stands at 52.65 Crore India net, signaling a historic level of audience engagement for a regional project that successfully transitioned into a pan-India release. If we analyze the daily performance, the film showed immense strength during its initial weekend and managed a very respectable hold during the weekdays. On Day 7, the movie collected 4.00 Crore, which is only a marginal 5.9 percent drop from the previous day. This stability is quite impressive given the high volume of shows it is running. Over the first seven days, the film was screened across a total of 40,615 shows, maintaining a healthy average weekly occupancy of approximately 24.4 percent. The highest engagement was seen on the first Sunday, where occupancy peaked at 36.4 percent. Raja Shivaji Day-wise India Net Collection: Day 1 (1st Friday): ₹11.35 Cr Day 2 (1st Saturday): ₹10.55 Cr Day 3 (1st Sunday): ₹12.00 Cr Day 4 (1st Monday): ₹5.60 Cr Day 5 (1st Tuesday): ₹4.90 Cr Day 6 (1st Wednesday): ₹4.25 Cr Day 7 (1st Thursday): ₹4.00 Cr Total Week 1 Collection: ₹52.65 Cr (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Top 5 Marathi Movies - Week 1 India Net CollectionMOVIE NAMEWEEK 1 NET COLLECTIONRaja Shivaji₹ 52.65 CrBaipan Bhari Deva₹ 12.00 CrNavra Maza Navsacha 2₹ 12.00 CrNaach Ga Ghuma₹ 11.00 CrDharmaveer 2₹ 11.00 Cr The ticket sales data reflects a massive surge in ground-level interest. On BookMyShow, the film sold a total of 1,439,340 tickets during its first week, which includes 217K pre-sales. The momentum stayed high throughout the week, with Saturday and Sunday accounting for over half a million tickets alone. Even on Thursday, the platform saw 96.65K bookings, showing that the interest is not just limited to the opening days. Furthermore, the national cinema chains contributed significantly to this success, with 296,084 tickets sold across major multiplexes during the week. A key factor in this historic run is the dual-language performance. While the Marathi version led the way with a net of 36.25 Crore, the Hindi version also found significant traction, contributing 16.40 Crore to the total India net. On Day 7 specifically, the Marathi version earned 2.75 Crore with 25 percent occupancy, while the Hindi version added 1.25 Crore. This broad appeal has allowed the film to tap into markets outside of Maharashtra, providing the volume needed to hit such high numbers. Currently, the total India gross for Raja Shivaji stands at 62.42 Crore. With no overseas collections reported so far, the worldwide gross matches the domestic total. Reaching a 50 Crore net in just seven days is a watershed moment for the industry, especially considering that the previous records for Marathi opening weeks were in the 11 to 12 Crore range. As the film enters its second weekend with over 6,000 shows still running, it is well-positioned to continue its record-breaking journey at the box office.

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Hyderabad, May 8 - The advance booking storm for superstar Ram Charan starrer Peddi has officially begun in North America, and the response has been nothing short of phenomenal. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, the highly-anticipated sports action drama crossed the $100K mark in premiere pre-sales within no time of bookings opening, setting the stage for what could become one of the biggest sales for a Telugu. The film's pre-sales momentum has already surpassed the early booking record of almost every Indian film in North America, with the fastest $100K booking in just 4 hours. Trade circles are now closely tracking Peddi's pace as the buzz continues to grow rapidly among overseas audiences, especially in the USA, where Ram Charan enjoys huge popularity following the global success of RRR.

Bhooth Bangla Week 3 Box Office Collection: Film Crosses 150 Cr Net Milestone; Overtakes Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 by a 2.1% Margin

BY CHRISTA LINCY

Bhooth Bangla has just completed its third week at the box office, and the numbers tell a story of remarkable steadiness. As we look at the closing figures for Day 21, the film has officially crossed the major milestone of 150 Crore net in the Indian market. It is a significant achievement for the project, showing that the audience interest remains intact even as it enters its fourth week of theatrical run. The horror-comedy genre has once again proven to be a reliable space for Akshay Kumar. Looking at his trajectory post-COVID, where several high-profile releases struggled to maintain long-term momentum, this film represents a significant return to box office stability. What is particularly impressive is how it has maintained such a consistent screen presence, even seeing an uptick in show counts as it closed out its third week. This steady performance suggests that the film has successfully connected with the audience's preference for light-hearted theatrical entertainers. If we look closely at the daily performance during this third week, the film managed to collect 21.85 Crore net across India. The trend remained quite stable, especially during the weekdays. On Day 21, which was its third Thursday, the film earned 1.75 Crore, showing no drop from the previous day. This kind of consistency is a positive sign for the exhibitors. Over the course of the week, the movie was screened across a total of 31,387 shows, maintaining an average weekly occupancy of approximately 17.28 percent.

On BookMyShow, the film saw over 400,000 tickets booked during the third week alone. The weekend saw a healthy peak with 89.07K tickets on Friday and 86.15K on Sunday. Even on the slower weekdays like Thursday, it managed to sell 25.76K tickets. This brings the total lifetime ticket sales on the platform to 2.84 million. Additionally, the national cinema chains contributed significantly, selling 108,089 tickets over these seven days. When we shift our focus to the international market, Bhooth Bangla continues to find takers overseas. During the third week, the film added 4.70 Crore from international territories. While the numbers naturally tapered off toward the end of the week, with Day 21 bringing in 0.10 Crore, the overall total overseas gross now stands at 52.95 Crore. In the North American market specifically, the film has reached a total gross of $2.17M (₹18.23 Cr) after adding $8K (₹6.72 Lakh) on its third Monday.. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) This consistency has also helped the movie break into the record books for its third-week performance. Currently, it holds the 39th spot in the all-time Top 50 Week 3 collections list. By reaching this position with ₹21.85 Cr, it has officially overtaken the third-week numbers of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (₹21.40 Cr), which now sits at rank 40. While it still trails behind Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 (₹23.35 Cr), which is positioned at rank 35, competing in this elite bracket confirms that the film has better-than-average legs for a modern mainstream release. Taking everything into account, the worldwide gross for Bhooth Bangla has reached 230.93 Crore. With an India gross of 177.98 Crore and a solid net of 150 Crore, the film has cemented its status as a successful venture. The fact that the show count actually increased to 4,923 on Day 21 suggests that theater owners still have confidence in its ability to draw crowds as it heads into its fourth weekend.

Dhurandhar 2 Day 50 Box Office: Surpassing Baahubali 2 And Hitting Rs. 1140 Crore Net;50 Glorious Days Of Redefining Greatness

BY CHRISTA LINCY

Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge reaching its 50th day is more than just a box office milestone; it represents a fundamental shift in the landscape of Indian cinema. In an era where most big-budget films struggle to stay relevant beyond their third week, this sequel has managed to maintain its grip on the audience through sheer narrative scale and technical excellence. The impact it has left is profound, as it restored the big-screen event experience that had become a rarity. By blending uncompromising action with a gritty, deep-rooted story, director Aditya Dhar created a film that did not just follow trends but set entirely new benchmarks for what an Indian blockbuster can achieve. The scale of this production was a gamble that paid off in ways the industry is still trying to digest. Choosing an A-rating and a runtime that exceeded typical commercial standards usually limits a film potential, but here, it actually helped the movie find its core audience. It brought back a sense of life to the theaters, especially in the Hindi belt, where the demand for high-quality, high-stakes cinema was at an all-time high. The success of the Dhurandhar franchise has now set a gold standard for sequels, proving that if the vision is bold enough, the audience will stay committed for months, not just days. It has set a high bar of expectations that every upcoming project will now find difficult to match. As we look at the numbers on day 50, the film is still going strong with 721 shows across India. According to the live tracking for today, it has already netted 0.36 crore, which pushes the total India net collection to a staggering 1,140.53 crore. The domestic gross has now reached 1,365.03 crore. These figures are not just records; they are a testament to the film durability. By day 46, it achieved the historic feat of surpassing the worldwide gross of the legendary Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, which stood at 1,788.06 crore. With this, it has officially claimed the second spot on the list of highest-grossing Indian films of all time globally, trailing only behind Dangal. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Beyond the total collection figures, the movie has rewritten the rulebook of Indian cinema by setting several unprecedented benchmarks.

Dhurandhar Franchise Not Over Yet; Jio Studios' Jyoti Deshpande Hints At A Surprise For Fans Later This Year

BY CHRISTA LINCY

The Dhurandhar franchise has undeniably changed the way we look at big-budget cinema in India. Just when audiences thought the journey of the lead character might be slowing down after two massive installments, Jio Studios has dropped a significant hint about the future. In a recent exclusive conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Jyoti Deshpande confirmed that the team is not done with the series yet. She mentioned that a surprise is being planned for later this year, suggesting that there is still something up their sleeves for the audience to look forward to. This confirmation comes at a time when the franchise is essentially rewriting the history of Indian cinema. To put the scale of its success into perspective, this is currently the only franchise in the country where both installments occupy spots in the top five highest-grossing Indian movies of all time on a global scale. Specifically, Dhurandhar: The Revenge has cemented its position as the second highest-grossing Indian film globally, sitting just behind the all-time record held by Dangal. The sequel has managed to rake in a staggering 1,140.17 crore net at the domestic box office so far. The first part, which released in 2025, is no less of a heavyweight, currently standing as the fourth highest-grossing Indian movie globally with a net collection of 840.20 crore in India. When you combine the performance of both films, the franchise has crossed a monumental worldwide gross of over 3,100 crore. These back-to-back global records represent a level of dominance that is rarely seen, setting benchmarks that will be incredibly difficult for any other project to challenge in the near future. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) What makes this journey even more impressive is how the franchise achieved these numbers by breaking almost every traditional commercial rule. Dhurandhar is an A-rated property that leans heavily into raw, unapologetic violence and has a much longer runtime than your average blockbuster. It also moved away from the formula of having a traditional A-list female lead, which was previously considered a necessity for a film aiming for such huge numbers. By sticking to a bold two-part release strategy and an uncompromising vision from director Aditya Dhar, the makers proved that the audience is ready for intense and rule-breaking storytelling. While details about the upcoming surprise remain under wraps, the confirmation alone is enough to spark huge anticipation among fans. Whether it is a spin-off, a third installment, or perhaps a special expansion of the existing world, the fact that Jio Studios and B62 Studios are preparing something more means the Dhurandhar era is far from over. Considering how the franchise has consistently delivered the unexpected, the announcement later this year is likely to be another significant moment for Ranveer Singh and the entire team as they continue to redefine the landscape of Indian cinema.
