Raja Shivaji Box Office: Riteish Deshmukh's Historical Epic Downs Sairat To Become Highest-Grossing Marathi Film

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, May 22 - The decade-long record of director Nagraj Manjule's social romantic tragedy Sairat has finally been broken as Riteish Deshmukh's historical epic Raja Shivaji has become the highest-grossing Marathi film of all time, taking just 22 days to achieve the historic feat. Produced by Jio Studios and Mumbai Film Company, Raja Shivaji minted around 109.35 crores worldwide in three weeks (21 days), and it has surpassed the total gross of Sairat (110 crores) at the time of writing this piece to become the number 1 Marathi grosser ever. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Raja Shivaji, however, received support from its Hindi dubbed version, unlike Sairat, which was purely a Marathi-language release. Directed by and starring Riteish Deshmukh, the blockbuster has grossed approximately 29 crores from the Hindi version and over 76 crores gross from the original Marathi version in 21 days, while the overseas contribution stands at an estimated 4.20 crores so far. Released on May 1 on the occasion of Maharashtra Day, Raja Shivaji opened to record-breaking numbers with approximately 13.85 crores worldwide on its first day. The film remained exceptionally strong throughout the opening weekend, collecting around 41.65 crores worldwide in its first three days, setting a new benchmark for Marathi cinema. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The historical action drama, based on the life of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, showed a solid hold during the weekdays of its initial week. However, mixed word of mouth impacted the film's long-term theatrical run, with collections beginning to slow down after the second weekend. The 150 crores worldwide milestone, which looked possible after the huge opening weekend, now appears out of reach. Despite the slowdown, Raja Shivaji is still expected to finish its theatrical run close to the 125 crores mark, which would be a solid result for a regional-language title. The film has performed excellently in Maharashtra, where the subject and emotional connect with audiences helped it emerge as one of the biggest Marathi blockbusters ever produced.

Pati Patni Aur Woh Do Week 1 Box Office Collection: Rs. 29.00 Cr Net; Urban Markets Drive Steady Global Run

BY SACNILK

Sequels in the romantic-comedy genre often carry a specific set of expectations, and Pati Patni Aur Woh Do has spent its first week navigating those waters with a fair amount of steadiness. As the film completes its initial seven-day run, it is clear that the franchise value has helped it maintain a decent pace at the ticket windows, even as the usual weekday cooling-off period takes effect. On Day 7, the film brought in a net collection of 2.00 Cr. This represents a 27.3% drop from the previous day's 2.75 Cr, which is a standard trajectory for a mid-week Thursday. With this, the first week total for India net collections stands at a solid 29.00 Cr. When we look at the gross figures, the domestic total has reached 34.43 Cr, and with an overseas contribution of 5.85 Cr, the worldwide gross collection currently sits at 40.28 Cr. This has been achieved across a total of 41,492 shows since its release.

Other key urban centers also showed life, with Bengaluru recording the highest occupancy among major cities at 14.3% from 110 shows, while Lucknow and Kolkata hovered around the 11.3% and 9.0% marks respectively. These numbers suggest that the urban youth and family audience remain the primary drivers for this rom-com. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The footfalls translated well into ticket sales across digital and physical platforms. On BookMyShow, the film added 30.81K tickets on Thursday, taking its total weekly tally on the platform to approximately 447.47K tickets. In the major national multiplex chains—PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis—the movie sold around 5,693 tickets on Day 7. For the entire first week, these national chains have accounted for roughly 1.19 lakh ticket sales. This level of engagement indicates that despite the competitive landscape, the film is finding its audience in the premium properties. With a reported budget in the range of 50 to 60 crore, Pati Patni Aur Woh Do has completed the first phase of its theatrical journey with a respectable amount of moolah in the kitty. While it still has some distance to go to achieve full cost recovery, the steady performance through the weekdays is a positive sign. As it enters its second week, the focus will be on whether it can maintain its grip on the urban markets and continue to push towards the breakeven point.

Chand Mera Dil Day 1 Advance Booking: 32,000+ Tickets Sold As CBFC Clears Extended Cut With 8 New Scenes

BY SACNILK

Lakshya and Ananya Panday's upcoming love story, Chand Mera Dil, is all set for its theatrical release this Friday. However, just hours before it hits the big screen, there is a major update regarding its duration. According to an exclusive report by Bollywood Hungama, the film has now become roughly 11 minutes longer than its original censor cut. The Central Board of Film Certification had initially cleared the movie with a runtime of 135.36 minutes on May 8. But on May 20, the producers went back to the board to include some extra footage they had voluntarily added. The CBFC has now passed an extended version that includes eight new scenes. These additions range from short clips to a significant sequence in the first half lasting nearly four minutes. This brings the final runtime of the film to 145.53 minutes, or 2 hours and 25 minutes. This Vivek Soni directorial, produced by Karan Johar and Dharma Productions, is looking to attract a wide audience with a very aggressive pricing strategy on its opening day. As previously shared by Bollywood Hungama, tickets for all shows on May 22 before 5:00 PM are priced at just 149 rupees. For evening shows starting after 5:00 PM, the price will be a flat 199 rupees. This move is clearly intended to boost the initial footfalls across the country. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Looking at the advance booking numbers for the opening day, the national chains are showing decent traction. In the three major multiplexes—PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis—the film has already sold roughly 32,270 tickets. PVR leads the way with about 15,380 tickets, followed by INOX with 10,900 and Cinepolis with 5,990 tickets. This has resulted in a gross of approximately 64.20 lakh rupees from these chains alone, with PVR contributing 31.60 lakh, INOX adding 20.85 lakh, and Cinepolis bringing in 11.75 lakh. Despite the release being just around the corner, advance bookings in several Mumbai theaters and other regions faced some minor delays. The change in runtime forced theater programmers to restructure their show schedules at the last minute to accommodate the longer version. Additionally, exhibitors have noted that the unexpected success of the Marathi film Deool Band 2 has created a bit of a scheduling challenge in certain pockets where it is performing exceptionally well. While most cinemas have now opened their bookings, the team behind Chand Mera Dil has reportedly been very flexible with exhibitors regarding the show counts. With Lakshya and Ananya Panday leading this romantic drama, the focus is now on how this extended cut will perform under these competitive conditions. Fans of the genre will be hoping that the added 11 minutes bring even more depth to this highly anticipated love story.

Jailer 2: Bigg Boss 18's Edin Rose Joins Rajinikanth Starrer; Release Date Pushed To September?

BY SACNILK

The anticipation surrounding the sequel to the 2023 blockbuster Jailer is growing as the project moves into its final stages of production. With Rajinikanth set to reprise his iconic role as Tiger Muthuvel Pandian, the film is shaping up to be a massive pan-Indian event. The latest update regarding the ensemble cast comes from a report by Variety India, which reveals that Bigg Boss 18 fame Edin Rose has secured a significant role in the sequel. Edin Rose, who recently gained visibility as a wildcard contestant on the Hindi reality show, is reportedly playing a feisty, city-bred character in the film. Unlike her brief appearance in Pradeep Ranganathan's Love Insurance Kompany, where she plays the romantic interest of S.J. Suryah, her role in Jailer 2 is expected to be more substantial. The actress reportedly spent nearly a month filming her portions, which involve scenes with several of the film's lead actors. Edin’s career has seen a steady rise since her debut in the web series Gandi Baat in 2020. She has previously collaborated with Telugu star Ravi Teja, appearing in the song Dikka Dishum from Ravanasura and more recently in the 2026 release Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi. Her inclusion in Jailer 2 adds another layer to a cast that already features stalwarts like Mohanlal, Dr. Shiva Rajkumar, and Ramya Krishnan. The sequel also expands its reach with the addition of Bollywood veteran Mithun Chakraborty, S.J. Suryah, Suraj Venjaramoodu, and Yogi Babu. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) On the production front, the team successfully wrapped up principal photography on April 21, 2026. The film is currently in the post-production phase, where the focus is on refining the high-octane action sequences that defined the first installment. The business side of the project is also making headlines, with reports suggesting that Amazon Prime Video has secured the OTT rights for a record-breaking 160 crore, a figure that highlights the massive demand for the franchise. Regarding the theatrical debut, there has been a shift in the release strategy. While an initial date of June 12 was under consideration, the makers are now reportedly looking at a September 4, 2026, release. This move is intended to capitalize on the Krishna Jayanthi holiday weekend, providing the film with a better window to maximize its box office potential. By shifting the date, the production house aims to ensure that the sequel gets the widest possible reach across all language markets.

Tera Yaar Hoon Main: Indra Kumar's Son Aman To Debut On July 31; Milap Zaveri Directorial Postponed

BY SACNILK

The upcoming Bollywood romantic drama Tera Yaar Hoon Main has seen a shift in its theatrical release plans. The makers have officially moved the film from its original May 22 slot to a new release date of July 31, 2026. This postponement places the movie in the heart of the monsoon season, aiming to capture the mid-year audience with its mix of music and emotional storytelling. The film carries significant industry interest as it marks the acting debut of Aman Indra Kumar, the son of veteran filmmaker Indra Kumar. In this project, Aman is paired with Akanksha Sharma, creating a fresh on-screen duo for the audience. The narrative, described as a relatable coming-of-age story, follows the journey of a carefree boy from Nagpur who moves to the bustling city of Mumbai. The plot is expected to delve into the complexities of friendship, love, and the inevitable heartbreaks that come with life in a new city. Directing this venture is Milap Milan Zaveri, who is known for his work on commercial entertainers like Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat. Zaveri's involvement suggests a film that will balance mass appeal with a strong emotional core. To further strengthen the cast, the production has brought in veteran actor Paresh Rawal for a pivotal role, ensuring that the younger leads are supported by a seasoned performer who can add depth to the family and friendship dynamics of the script. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) One of the major highlights of Tera Yaar Hoon Main is its soundtrack, which features a rare and nostalgic musical collaboration. Legendary singer Udit Narayan has teamed up with his son Aditya Narayan for a specific track in the film. This father-son recording is being viewed as a full-circle moment for producer Indra Kumar, who has a long-standing history of working with Udit Narayan on some of his biggest musical hits in the past. The emphasis on a strong emotional score aligns with the film's positioning as a heartfelt entertainer. This musical partnership between the Indra Kumar family and Udit Narayan is one of the most successful in Hindi cinema history. It has previously yielded chart-topping albums for blockbuster films such as Dil, Beta, Raja, Ishq, and Mann. Their collaboration continued into the 2000s with successful soundtracks in movies like Aashiq, Rishtey, Masti, and Pyare Mohan. By bringing Udit Narayan back for Aman Indra Kumar's debut, the makers are revisiting a legacy that has defined the musical identity of their production house for over three decades. Produced by Bina Indra Kumar, Ajay Murdia, and Manish Singhal under the banner of A Camera Take Films, the project is presented by Ajay Murdia in association with Mumbai Films, BIK Productions, and Enter10 Television. With the new July 31 release date, the team is banking on the film's blend of relatable character arcs and high-quality music to stand out in the 2026 box office calendar.

BY SACNILK

Romance fans have a significant update to track as the advance booking for the upcoming film Chand Mera Dil is set to open today, Monday, May 18. Directed by Vivek Soni, known for his work on Meenakshi Sundareshwar and Aap Jaisa Koi, this Dharma Productions venture has generated considerable buzz. The pairing of Lakshya and Ananya Panday, combined with an intense romantic narrative, has made it one of the most anticipated releases of the month. Before the film heads to theaters on May 22, it has completed its mandatory certification process. According to an exclusive report by Bollywood Hungama, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) passed the movie with a U/A 16+ certificate. While the intense nature of the romance remains a key selling point, the board did request some specific modifications to the intimate sequences in the film.

To ensure a strong start at the ticket windows, the makers have implemented an aggressive pricing strategy for the opening day. On Friday, May 22, moviegoers can purchase tickets for all shows scheduled before 5:00 pm for just ₹149. For shows scheduled after 5:00 pm, the price will increase slightly to ₹199. This tiered pricing model is a strategic move to capitalize on the film's musical popularity and the chemistry of the lead pair, encouraging a high turnout right from the first day of release.

Pati Patni Aur Woh Do Day 1 Box Office: Opening Numbers Settle at Rs. 4 Cr Net; Less Than Half of the Prequel's Total

BY SACNILK

The sequel to the 2019 romantic comedy, Pati Patni Aur Woh Do, has made a rather lukewarm entry at the box office. When the first film arrived five years ago, it hit the ground running with a solid 9.10 crore on its opening day. In contrast, this new installment has managed to collect less than half of its prequel's total, signaling a clear lack of momentum right from the start. It is a quiet beginning for a franchise that previously enjoyed a much stronger pull with the audience. On its first Friday, the film brought in a net of 4 crore across a very wide release of 6,822 shows. This translated into an India gross of 4.80 crore. While the massive show count provided plenty of oxygen for the film to perform, the actual moolah entering the kitty remains underwhelming. For a movie playing on over 6,800 screens, an opening of the 4 crore mark suggests that the content failed to generate the necessary early-day spark to fill those seats. The performance in the national multiplex chains reflects this struggle. Across PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, the film sold approximately 19,400 tickets on its opening day, contributing roughly 61 lakh to the gross. PVR accounted for about 10,400 tickets sold across 1,234 shows, while INOX and Cinepolis combined added another 8,900 tickets. Despite being available at roughly 380 venues within these national chains, the overall occupancy hovered around a low 3 percent. The wide availability of shows simply did not match the actual demand at the ticket counters. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) On the digital front, the film saw some activity as the day progressed. Approximately 1.69 lakh tickets were sold on BookMyShow for the opening day. The booking pace did see a slight peak during the evening hours, reaching between 35,000 to 39,000 tickets per hour. While this suggests that some urban viewers opted for late-night screenings, it was not enough to significantly move the needle or bridge the massive gap left by the 2019 original. Regional occupancy numbers across major circuits remained mostly in the single digits or low teens. In the National Capital Region (NCR), the film had 958 shows but could only manage a 9.8 percent occupancy. Mumbai was slightly better at 13.8 percent occupancy across 509 shows, while cities like Pune and Jaipur saw 14.5 percent and 13.3 percent respectively. Even in these metros, the morning and afternoon shows were extremely dull. With the initial Friday numbers coming in so low, the film now faces an uphill task to show any significant growth over the rest of the weekend.

Karuppu Box Office: The 20-Year Evolution of Suriya and Trisha's Chemistry Leads to a Record Reunion

BY SACNILK

There is something incredibly nostalgic about watching a pair return to the screen after a long gap, and in the case of Suriya and Trisha Krishnan, that gap has spanned over two decades. Their latest collaboration in Karuppu is not just another theatrical release; it is a celebration of a journey that began in the early 2000s. For many moviegoers, seeing these two together again is a reminder of why they were once considered the quintessential face of modern Tamil romance. From the quiet streets of Mounam Pesiyadhe to the gritty landscape of Karuppu, their dynamic has evolved from youthful chase to seasoned partnership. To understand the depth of this pairing, we have to go back to where it all began in 2002 with Mounam Pesiyadhe. This was a landmark film for several reasons—it was the debut of director Ameer and marked Trisha's first lead role. At the time, the film operated on a modest budget of approximately 1.5 crore, but it went on to collect nearly 9.2 crore worldwide, earning a Superhit verdict. The chemistry was built on the Opposites Attract template, with Suriya playing the cynical Goutham and Trisha as the bubbly Sandhya. It established the famous eye-contact chemistry where their silence often spoke louder than words, a trait that became their trademark. Here is a look at their historical collaborations and how their lifetime numbers compare to the massive start of their latest outing: Suriya & Trisha Box Office Journey: Comparing Past Hits With Karuppu's Record Opening Day MOVIE NAME APPROX. WW LIFETIME GROSS Mounam Pesiyadhe(2002) ₹ 9.20 Cr Aayutha Ezhuthu(2004) ₹ 11.00 Cr Aaru(2005) ₹ 12.50 Cr Karuppu(2026) ₹ 18.00 Cr India Gross (Day 1) (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The duo then moved into what many call their Intellectual Phase with Mani Ratnam's Aayutha Ezhuthu in 2004. Here, Suriya's Michael Vasanth and Trisha's Geetha felt like equals. They were urban, modern, and their romance was rooted in mutual respect rather than typical tropes. While the hyperlink narrative was experimental for its time and faced some challenges in rural markets, it was a solid hit with an approximate worldwide gross of 11 crore against a 5 crore budget. To this day, the beach argument and the proposal scene remain some of the most realistic portrayals of young love in Tamil cinema. By 2005, they transitioned into the high-octane commercial space with Aaru. This was a classic Beauty and the Beast dynamic, where Trisha's character acted as the moral compass for Suriya's unrefined street thug. Aaru was a significant commercial success, grossing approximately 12 crore worldwide. It was particularly strong in Tamil Nadu, where it earned around 11 crore in that state alone. Interestingly, Suriya's character in Aaru was named Saravanan—which is the actor's real birth name—and Karuppu brings this full circle by using the same name for his character once again. Fast forward to 2026, and Karuppu presents us with the Modern and Gritty version of this pair. Moving away from traditional romance, they function as a formidable power couple. Suriya plays a vigilante caught in a moral gray area, while Trisha portrays a sharp professional who acts as his strategist. Unlike her recent special appearances or limited roles in other big-ticket films, her role in Karuppu is a full-fledged lead. Their partnership here mirrors the intense, grounded energy found in Suriya's recent successes like Jai Bhim, focusing on shared trauma and a common goal to take down a corrupt system. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Director RJ Balaji has clearly made this film with a fan-boy's heart, packing it with nostalgic Easter eggs. He intentionally recreated the famous watermelon scene from Ghajini to introduce that original style to Gen-Z audiences. There is also a courtroom callback that reminds viewers of Jai Bhim, but with the added intellectual spark reminiscent of Michael and Geetha from Aayutha Ezhuthu. Even the dialogue Daddy is home serves as a meta-reference to his iconic dual roles in the past. Balaji's use of tight close-up shots on their eyes during planning scenes is a direct tribute to the minimalism that defined their first film together. The success of the Suriya-Trisha dynamic lies in its maturity. Throughout their filmography, Trisha's characters have always been the catalyst for change in Suriya's world, forcing his characters to evolve and find a new path. Whether it was Goutham finding love, Michael finding a partner in his activism, or Aaru finding a reason to leave crime, the pattern remains. In Karuppu, that growth continues as they stand together as equals. For fans who have followed them for 20 years, seeing them reclaim their throne at the box office is as much about the nostalgia as it is about the excellent filmmaking.
