Ajay Devgn's much-awaited Drishyam 3 is gearing up for its theatrical release on October 2, 2026, and a fresh report has revealed an interesting update about the film's story and music. According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, the Hindi version of Drishyam 3 will not closely follow the recently released Malayalam original and will instead feature significant changes tailored for Hindi audiences. The first two installments of the franchise largely stayed faithful to their Malayalam counterparts. However, the report states that the makers have taken a different approach with the third chapter by introducing major alterations to the narrative, including several plot developments and twists. Despite these changes, the film is said to retain the essence of the Drishyam universe that audiences have come to associate with the franchise. The development is in line with what director Abhishek Pathak had previously indicated while discussing the project. The filmmaker explained that while both versions share the same emotional foundation, they have been designed differently in terms of storytelling. According to Pathak, the Malayalam version leans more towards a family drama, whereas the Hindi adaptation has been developed as a family thriller, a distinction that is expected to become more evident in the third installment. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The report further claims that the makers are pleased with the performances delivered by the ensemble cast. Apart from Ajay Devgn reprising his role as Vijay Salgaonkar, the film also features Tabu, Shriya Saran and several returning cast members from the previous installments. New additions such as Jaideep Ahlawat and Prakash Raj are also expected to play significant roles in the narrative, adding fresh dynamics to the story. Another notable update concerns the film's music. As per the report, acclaimed composer Ravi Basrur has come on board for Drishyam 3. Best known for his work in blockbuster films such as KGF, Salaar, Marco and Toxic, Basrur reunites with Ajay Devgn after their collaborations on Bholaa and Singham Again. His inclusion marks another change for the franchise, as each Hindi installment has featured a different musical team. While Vishal Bhardwaj composed the music for the first film, Devi Sri Prasad took over scoring duties for Drishyam 2. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Drishyam remains one of the most successful thriller franchises in Indian cinema. The Hindi adaptation of Drishyam 2 emerged as a major box office success in 2022, collecting over ₹342 crore worldwide and reaffirming the popularity of Vijay Salgaonkar's story among Hindi audiences. As a result, expectations for the third installment are considerably high. Presented by Star Studios and produced under the Panorama Studios banner, Drishyam 3 is directed by Abhishek Pathak and written by Abhishek Pathak, Aamil Keeyan Khan and Parveez Shaikh. The film is produced by Kumar Mangat Pathak, Abhishek Pathak, Alok Jain and Ajit Andhare and is currently scheduled to arrive in cinemas on October 2, 2026.

Mumbai, April 13 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar-fronted much-awaited horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla, is all set to kick off its theatrical journey, with strong buzz surrounding its release. The film has been generating excitement ever since its announcement, thanks to its genre and the reunion of a beloved actor-director duo. Bhooth Bangla Advance Booking To Open On April 14 The makers have confirmed that bookings for Bhooth Bangla will open on April 14, giving audiences an early opportunity to secure their seats ahead of release. Opening the bookings just 3 days ahead of the full-fledged release is a strategic move that might prompt the audience to rush to buy tickets due to the short window for making a strong prediction. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The release strategy includes paid previews on April 16 from 9 PM, followed by a full theatrical rollout on April 17, 2026. This staggered release pattern could help the film build strong word-of-mouth if early audience reactions turn positive. What To Expect From Bhooth Bangla Advance Booking The momentum in pre-sales has become one of the most important aspects for a film in its bid to score a strong theatrical outcome. The booking has become a major driving force, especially in Bollywood, where perception plays a massive role in box office outcomes, particularly for big-budget entertainers. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Going into the bookings, Bhooth Bangla has every major thing in its favour, from a solid star cast led by an OG superstar, to a renowned director and a popular horror-comedy genre, which has managed to get audiences' attention in recent times. Also, by scheduling paid previews, the makers have sent a strong indication that they are confident in the film's content. Day 1 Pre-Sales Gross vs Day 1 Net Collection of Akshay Kumar's Films S. No. Movie Day 1 Advance Booking Gross Day 1 Net Collection 1 Jolly LLB 3 (2025) ₹ 6.37 Cr ₹ 12.50 Cr 2 Housefull 5 (2025) ₹ 13.95 Cr ₹ 24.00 Cr 3 Kesari Chapter 2 (2025) ₹ 3.00 Cr ₹ 7.75 Cr 4 Sky Force (2025) ₹ 5.42 Cr ₹ 12.25 Cr Note: Advance Booking Data Includes Block Seats (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) While more clarity on the momentum will be known after tickets go live, Bhooth Bangla should be able to put better pre-sales numbers, and will comfortably help it to secure a double-digit start, most probably in the mid-teens. The movie might face some competition from holdover Dhurandhar 2, but the momentum for the Ranveer Singh starrer is slowing, which should divert attention towards BB. Apart from Akshay Kumar, the film also features Tabu, Wamiqa Gabbi, Paresh Rawal, Asrani, Rajpal Yadav, and Mithila Palkar in key roles, adding to its star power and appeal. With bookings set to begin soon, all eyes are now on how the film performs in its pre-release phase and whether it can translate its buzz into a strong box office opening.

Mumbai, April 2 - In a major development, the makers have officially announced a revised release plan for her upcoming horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla, starring Akshay Kumar. The decision comes in light of the phenomenal box office performance of Dhurandhar: The Revenge. Priyadarshan's directorial film will now be released on April 17, a week after the earlier release date, and will also have paid previews starting from 16th April 2026 at 9 PM onwards, allowing both films to enjoy their respective theatrical space.

Mumbai, March 31 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar is gearing up for the release of his much-awaited horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla. The film, which was earlier scheduled to release on April 10, is now reportedly being pushed to April 17 to maintain a healthy gap from Dhurandhar 2, which continues to dominate the box office across the country. Bhooth Bangla marks the much-anticipated reunion of Akshay Kumar with acclaimed filmmaker Priyadarshan, making it one of the most exciting collaborations in recent times. Even though the film is still over two weeks away from release, a key update regarding its runtime has surfaced. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, the film is expected to have a runtime of approximately 2 hours and 50 minutes (170 minutes). However, since the censor certification is still pending, the final duration may vary slightly. The confirmed runtime will be known closer to the release date. If the rumoured runtime indeed gets locked, it will be among Akshay Kumar's longest films in the last 12 years. The last Akshay Kumar film with a similar run time was Holiday - A Soldier Is Never Off Duty (2014), which was also 2 hours and 50 minutes long. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Meanwhile, fans are eagerly awaiting the trailer, which is expected to drop this week.

Mumbai, March 25 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar's horror comedy Bhooth Bangla is among the most-awaited films. However, despite being a family-friendly and in-demand subject, the film's release is being threatened by the box office carnage brought by Ranveer Singh-led Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge. According to the latest reports, the makers of Bhooth Bangla have decided to push the release date back by a week, and the film will now be released on April 17. The movie was previously scheduled to release on April 10, just three weeks after Dhurandhar 2, which released on March 19. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Normally, a three-week gap between two big films is considered sufficient, and even Akshay Kumar acknowledges that. However, the danger is real as Dhurandhar: The Revenge isn't going to stop anytime soon. The film has already grossed over 1150 crores at the worldwide box office in just 9 days and is marching towards the 1500 crores milestone soon. According to the reports, it is said that producer Ekta Kapoor and Akshay Kumar have been closely analysing the situation and have taken the decision to push the date. The official announcement regarding the postponement is expected very soon. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Bhooth Bangla reunites Akshay Kumar with director Priyadarshan after many years.

The massive success of Dhurandhar 2 has the entire industry talking, and naturally, all eyes are now on the next big releases. One of the biggest questions lately has been whether Akshay Kumar's horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla would move its April 10 date to avoid the ongoing Dhurandhar storm. There were plenty of rumors that the makers might push the film to May, especially since the Dhurandhar 2 wave is pulling in record numbers. However, Akshay Kumar recently cleared the air, explaining that a 21-day window is actually the sweet spot for the box office. He believes that when a film like Dhurandhar 2 does this well, it actually helps the next movie because it gets audiences back into the habit of going to the theaters. Addressing the 21-day window, Akshay Kumar explained that three weeks is generally an adequate period for a record-breaking film to achieve its primary box office objectives. While Dhurandhar 2 continues to dominate, the actor believes that by the time April 10 arrives, there will be enough room for a fresh cinematic experience. He noted that the success of one film often opens up more opportunities for promotions and media interactions for the following release, creating a positive cycle for the industry rather than a zero-sum game of competition. This clarity comes after a series of shifts in the film's timeline, which saw it move from an initial April 2 date to May 15, before finally being pulled back to April 10 to capitalize on the post-Dhurandhar theatrical energy. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) A significant factor in the makers' confidence lies in the stark contrast in genres between the two films. While Dhurandhar 2 is a high-octane spy thriller that has received an Adult certificate due to its gritty action, Bhooth Bangla is a fantasy horror-comedy designed for a universal family audience. Produced by Ektaa R Kapoor, the film aims to capture a demographic that includes children and family groups who might have stayed away from the intense violence of the spy sequel. By offering a different flavor of entertainment, the production team believes they can coexist with the ongoing action blockbuster without cannibalizing the same viewer base. Looking at the historical trends, the 21-day window has seen mixed results depending on the film's genre and quality. A successful instance of this strategy was the face-off between Animal and Dunki in December 2023. Even though Animal was a record-breaking All-Time Blockbuster with a massive ₹553.87 crore India net, its momentum had naturally slowed by the 21st day. This allowed the family-oriented Dunki to find its own footing. Because they catered to completely different audiences—gritty action versus social comedy—Dunki managed to secure a Hit verdict with a lifetime India net of over ₹227 crore, proving that a quality film can thrive even in the shadow of a giant. However, the same window does not always guarantee safety, as seen during the Shah Rukh Khan-led Pathaan wave in early 2023. Despite Shehzada being delayed to February 17 to create a 23-day gap, Pathaan continued its historic dominance, crossing the ₹500 crore mark in its fourth week. The situation was further complicated by aggressive promotional strategies, such as Pathaan Day, which severely dented the opening of the new release. Ultimately, Shehzada ended its run as a commercial failure with a net of just ₹32.02 crore, highlighting that while a three-week gap provides breathing room, the second film still requires a powerful individual pull to survive a mega-blockbuster's tail-end. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) These cases suggest that while a 21-day gap provides a strategic buffer, the ultimate box office verdict depends on the film's own merit and the audience's appetite for that specific genre. History shows that whether a film arrives after a spy thriller or a masala entertainer, if the content is strong, people will always welcome it. The box office is rarely a zero-sum game; if a movie resonates with the public, they will find their way to the theaters regardless of how massive the previous wave was. The anticipation for Bhooth Bangla is further fueled by a cast and crew lineup that leans heavily into nostalgia. Apart from the Akshay-Priyadarshan duo, the film brings back the legendary comic trio of Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, and Asrani. Another major highlight is the reunion of Akshay Kumar and Tabu, who are sharing the screen after nearly 25 years. Fans have also been drawing comparisons to the Dhurandhar universe, particularly regarding Akshaye Khanna, whose brief appearance as Rahman Dakait in the sequel was a highlight for many.While there is no official confirmation regarding Akshaye Khanna's involvement, fans who recently loved his performance as Rahman Dakait in Dhurandhar 2 are hopeful for a surprise reunion, given his iconic history with Priyadarshan in cult hits like Hulchul and Hungama. With the plot of Bhooth Bangla described as a wild Gujarati thali of mythology and slapstick humor, the film represents a return to the roots of the Priyadarshan style of filmmaking. The strategy involves attaching the Bhooth Bangla trailer to Dhurandhar 2 screenings to reach the millions of fans currently thronging theaters. By positioning the film exactly 21 days after the spy thriller's launch, the makers are betting on a calculated theatrical window that allows for both films to reach their intended milestones while keeping the momentum of the 2026 box office season alive.
