T-Series has officially come on board as a co-producer for the Kartik Aaryan-starrer Captain India. As first reported by Bollywood Hungama, the production giant joins the project alongside original producer and writer Harman Baweja, adding significant muscle to the film's scale and reach. The film also marks the high-profile return of director Shimit Amin, who is stepping back into the director's chair after a 17-year hiatus. Amin is widely respected for helming the cult classic Rocket Singh: Salesman Of The Year (2009) and the legendary sports drama Chak De! India (2007). The collaboration between Kartik Aaryan and Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series has become a reliable success formula in Bollywood. The duo has previously delivered four massive hits: Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (2018), Pati Patni Aur Woh (2019), Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (2022), and the recent blockbuster Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 (2024). By joining Captain India, T-Series aims to further capitalize on Aaryan's box-office pull and the creative vision of Shimit Amin.

Dhurandhar has claimed the top position on Netflix India’s movie charts for the week ending February 15, 2026. The latest rankings see the action blockbuster leading a list that combines recent theatrical premieres like Anaganaga Oka Raju and Tere Ishk Mein with a seasonal resurgence of romantic library titles for Valentine's Week. Ajay Devgn's De De Pyaar De 2 maintains its momentum, marking over 39 days on the Top 10 list since its streaming debut. Interestingly, the charts witnessed a resurgence of evergreen titles, with Rani Mukerji's Mardaani 2 and Ayushmann Khurrana's Dum Laga Ke Haisha re-entering the Top 10, likely triggered by recent franchise announcements and social media nostalgia. The current trending list underscores a clear trend: films with strong theatrical legs tend to dominate the Netflix rankings within their first month of digital premiere. Dhurandhar, which shattered several records during its opening weeks, has maintained a high conversion rate on OTT. Similarly, Tere Ishk Mein, marking Dhanush's return to the Hindi-speaking market under Aanand L Rai's direction, continues to draw massive viewership in the North Indian circuits. Below is a breakdown of the theatrical performance and digital standing of the current top-performing titles: Top 10 Films on Netflix India (As of Now) RANK MOVIE NAME #1 Dhurandhar #2 Anaganaga Oka Raju #3 Thalaivar Thambi Thalaimaiyil #4 Tere Ishk Mein #5 Mardaani 2 #6 Haq #7 De De Pyaar De 2 #8 Vadh #9 Dum Laga Ke Haisha #10 Bachna Ae Haseeno (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) While new releases hold the top rungs, the bottom half of the Top 10 reveals an interesting shift in consumer behavior. The presence of Bachna Ae Haseeno and Dum Laga Ke Haisha suggests that Netflix’s algorithm is successfully pushing high-rated library content to newer audiences. For producers, this digital second life provides a steady stream of secondary revenue, often surpassing the original satellite rights valuation. Netflix India Top 10: Latest Streaming Stats and Viewership Records 1. Tere Ishk Mein: A global breakout for Dhanush and Kriti Sanon. In its second week, it garnered 12.1 million viewing hours globally, ranking in the Top 10 across 18 countries including the UK and Malaysia. 2. De De Pyaar De 2: Demonstrating exceptional stamina, the film has maintained a Top 10 spot in India for over 39 consecutive days. It also peaked at #6 on the Global Non-English film charts. 3. Haq: The Yami Gautam and Emraan Hashmi starrer dominated the charts throughout January, maintaining a Top 5 position globally for non-English films for four consecutive weeks. 4. Mardaani 2: The 2019 thriller saw a massive resurgence, re-entering the Top 10 following the theatrical buzz and release of Mardaani 3 on January 30, 2026. 5.

The Indian streaming landscape, which witnessed an unprecedented boom during the pandemic, is now facing a significant structural reset. According to the latest data from Ormax Media, the supply of Indian streaming originals has continued its downward trajectory in 2025. Following an 18% drop in 2024, the number of original shows across major platforms has declined by another 13%, falling below the 300-mark for the first time since 2020. In an exclusive report by Variety, prominent creators Sudip Sharma, Prosit Roy, and Tanuj Chopra shared insights into this shifting ecosystem where risk aversion is the new norm. The current contraction is largely viewed as a necessary correction after a period of overheating. Sudip Sharma, the acclaimed creator behind Paatal Lok and Kohrra, noted that the rapid commissioning seen during the COVID-19 lockdown led to a saturation point where output exceeded the industry's actual capacity. Sharma explained that the ecosystem lacked enough seasoned filmmakers and writers to sustain such high volumes, which ultimately compromised content quality. As growth slows, streamers have pivoted from experimentation to a play safe strategy, making it increasingly difficult for unconventional or left of center narratives to find backing. The business logic governing Indian OTT platforms has undergone a fundamental transformation. Tanuj Chopra, who helmed the recent seasons of Delhi Crime, suggested that the shift is driven by subscriber economics rather than a lack of creative ambition. While the initial strategy focused on producing a wide variety of shows to acquire new users, platforms are now prioritizing stickiness among existing subscribers. Streamers are currently concentrating their resources into fewer, high-impact, commercial titles rather than spreading budgets across numerous smaller projects. This math-over-emotion approach aims for scale, targeting the remaining untapped market with big-ticket productions. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Beyond financial metrics, the sheer time required to develop long-form content is impacting industry trends. Prosit Roy, creator of the upcoming Amazon Prime series Rakh, highlighted that the development cycle for a premium show—from multiple script drafts to pre-production—often exceeds a year. This extended commitment has led many creators to migrate back toward feature films, which offer a shorter turnaround time. Roy emphasized that while streaming provides unique depth for character development, the rigorous demands of the medium naturally limit the volume of high-quality shows that can be produced annually. Perhaps the most concerning aspect of this reset is the rising entry barrier for emerging talent. The collective sentiment among industry insiders is that the current environment is particularly hostile toward new voices. With platforms becoming more cautious, the appetite for backing unproven creators has diminished. Chopra warned that while creators are resilient, the audience suffers the most in this scenario as the breadth of available storytelling options shrinks. Despite the visible decline in commissions, creators remain optimistic about the power of quality storytelling. The consensus remains that while the era of mindless abundance has ended, well-executed and rooted stories will continue to find an audience, even within a leaner and more disciplined market.

The upcoming espionage sequel Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has finalized its theatrical duration, officially locking in at 3 hours and 28 minutes (208 minutes). While the runtime confirms the film as one of the most expansive releases in recent Indian cinema history, it sits slightly behind the massive footprint of its predecessor. The first installment, Dhurandhar, carried a colossal runtime of 3 hours and 35 minutes (215 minutes), a figure that was notably bolstered by a critical 4-minute post-credit sequence. This segment served as a narrative bridge between the two chapters, setting a franchise trend for long-form, immersive storytelling that prioritizes character depth over traditional condensed action formats. The decision to maintain a runtime exceeding the three-hour mark follows the immense commercial success of the first film, which redefined box office benchmarks for the spy-thriller genre. The original Dhurandhar amassed a historic ₹838.32 Cr Net in India, with its domestic gross crossing the ₹1005.65 Cr mark. Globally, the film reached a staggering ₹1305 Cr, supported by a strong overseas performance of ₹299.35 Cr. The prequel's ability to sustain high theater occupancy despite its 215-minute length proved the audience's appetite for director Aditya Dhar's detailed geopolitical world-building, which was further intensified by an A certificate—a first for lead actor Ranveer Singh. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The franchise's narrative began by exploring the Indian intelligence response to the 1999 IC-814 hijacking and the 2001 Parliament attack. The plot centered on Intelligence Bureau chief Ajay Sanyal's activation of a covert program utilizing death row inmates as operational assets. The first chapter concluded with lead asset Jaskirat Singh Rangi uncovering a deep-seated link between the ISI and the Karachi underworld. After seizing control of the syndicate, Rangi was left positioned to execute a high-stakes kill list, a plot point that was explicitly teased in the first film's extended post-credits scene. Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge picks up directly from this transition, shifting the narrative gears into a relentless pursuit across borders. The sequel focuses on the protagonist operating under the identity of Hamza Ali Mazari as he targets the elusive Major Iqbal to dismantle the criminal-intelligence network established in the first film. By opting for a 208-minute duration, the production seeks to provide a comprehensive resolution to the cliffhangers introduced in the prequel. The film's substantial runtime reflects a commitment to maintaining the gritty, unhurried pace that turned the original into a runaway hit.

Mumbai, February 18 - The controversy surrounding The Kerala Story 2 continues to escalate after director Kamakhya Narayan Singh strongly responded to remarks made by Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, who had criticised the film for allegedly spreading misinformation and communal hatred. Reacting to the CM's statement, Kamakhya Narayan Singh defended his film, asserting that The Kerala Story 2 is not propaganda but a cinematic portrayal based on real incidents. The director said that dismissing the film outright amounts to "closing one's eyes to reality" and claimed that the issues highlighted in the movie are drawn from documented cases and news reports. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) "It's a fact-based film. There is this kind of thing happening all over the country where love is used to trap girls, to change the demography of the country. It's important that the country knows the facts, about the situation in the country, how the girls are being trapped, and that is why we've made this film", the director said to India Today. Singh further stated that every scene and narrative thread in the film is grounded in facts, adding that storytelling should not be silenced simply because it addresses uncomfortable subjects. According to him, the film attempts to raise awareness about social issues that are often ignored or brushed aside, and questioning its intent without engaging with the facts is unfair. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The Kerala Chief Minister, however, has maintained his stance, accusing the makers of spreading false narratives that could harm the state's secular fabric. Despite the political pushback, the director has stood firm, reiterating that The Kerala Story 2 aims to spark discussion rather than division. With strong reactions pouring in from political circles and social media alike, the film has once again found itself at the centre of a heated national debate — one that mirrors the controversy faced by the first installment. Whether the discourse will shift public perception or further polarise opinions remains to be seen. Stay tuned...

BookMyShow's Trending feature has evolved into a definitive metric for theatrical longevity, moving beyond opening weekend hype to reflect consistent, ground-level ticket sales. In the latest update for 2026, two major releases—the spy-actioner Dhurandhar and the historical biopic Chhaava—have set a new benchmark for audience retention, officially becoming the longest-trending Indian films since the feature's inception. As of mid-February 2026, both Dhurandhar has clocked 59 days on the charts, surpassing the previous record of 58 days held by the 2025 all-time blockbuster, Chhaava. This sustained digital presence mirrors their box office dominance; Dhurandhar has utilized its high-octane scale to drive repeat viewership, while Chhaava has relied on strong word-of-mouth to maintain steady footfalls. Together, they have effectively monopolized the theatrical window for nearly two months, turning impressive starts into massive lifetime collections. The list is dominated by content-driven hits and massive spectacles, with Malayalam cinema showing incredible retention with entries like Premalu, Manjummel Boys, and the recent Lokah Chapter 1. Below is the list of Top 10 longest-trending Indian films on BookMyShow.

Premalu (53 Days): Holds the #1 spot for the longest-trending Malayalam movie in the post-feature era. It crossed 1 million ticket sales and registered over 86.6K+ votes, indicating high user interaction. 5. Pushpa 2: The Rule (53 Days): The most-watched film in BMS history with 20.41 million tickets sold. It set a record of selling 100,000 tickets per hour and was boosted by a Reloaded version released in Jan 2025. Longest Trending Movies (Rank 6-10) 6.

It frequently reclaimed top sales spots even seven weeks after release. 8. Jawan (48 Days): Sold over 750,000 tickets in advance bookings alone. The film maintained a high volume of shows (171,034+) up to Day 47 and crossed 300,000 interests prior to release. 9. Lokah: Chapter 1 (46 Days): The first-ever Malayalam film to cross 5 million ticket sales on BookMyShow. It dominated screens for over 6 weeks with daily earnings reported well into its 7th week. 10. Mahavatar Narasimha (42 Days): Registered 500k+ ticket sales within just the first three days. The animated spectacle holds an exceptional rating of 9.6/10 based on over 325K+ votes. The trending data proves that while opening day numbers grab headlines, longevity is determined by content. Stree 2 and Premalu are prime examples of films that refused to slow down. However, the current dominance of Dhurandhar that approached the 60-day mark—signals a healthy theatrical ecosystem in 2026 where audiences are supporting films for months, not just weeks.

Mumbai, February 21 - There was no respite for the Hindi box office this Friday as Do Deewane Seher Mein and Assi have both registered a low start at the domestic box office, with opening day collections falling short of even low trade expectations. Despite featuring known actors, neither film managed to draw strong footfalls on its first Friday. Starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Mrunal Thakur, Do Deewane Seher Mein opened slightly ahead in the clash, earning around 1.25 crore net on Day 1. However, the romantic drama struggled with low occupancy across major urban centres, indicating limited audience pull beyond select multiplex pockets. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) On the other hand, Taapsee Pannu's courtroom drama Assi fared marginally lower, collecting around 1 crore net on its opening day. While the film received attention for its subject-driven narrative, the serious tone and muted promotions appeared to restrict its reach among mass audiences on the first day. Overall, the poor opening day performance of both films points to a slow Friday at the Hindi box office. The initial word of mouth seems to be ok, particularly for Assi, with the limited awareness among the audience and the subject of the film is a big disadvantage. A big weekend growth will be crucial if Do Deewane Seher Mein and Assi hope to recover in the coming days, as their opening numbers have left little room for error going forward. Stay tuned...

Director Sanjay Gupta has confirmed that the screenplay for the sequel to the 2017 hit Kaabil is officially complete. In an exclusive conversation with Variety India, the filmmaker revealed that the project is now pending a green signal from Hrithik Roshan and producer Rakesh Roshan under their banner, FilmKraft Productions. Gupta, known for gritty action dramas like Shootout at Wadala, emphasized that the sequel aims to surpass the intensity of the original. He noted that the new script is significantly deadlier, adhering to the philosophy that a sequel must offer a superior experience to justify its existence. The director stated that as a writer and filmmaker, he is fully prepared to move into production the moment the Roshans determine the timing is right for the franchise's return. The original Kaabil remains a significant milestone in Hrithik Roshan's filmography. Despite a high-profile box office clash with the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Raees in January 2017, the film demonstrated strong legs at the ticket window, comfortably entering the ₹100 crore club. Hrithik's portrayal of Rohan Bhatnagar, a blind voice-over artist who turns into a calculated vigilante to avenge his wife, received widespread critical acclaim for its emotional depth and physical nuance. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) While the sequel's specific plot remains under wraps, it is expected to build on the vigilante-thriller foundation established by the first installment, which featured Yami Gautam, Ronit Roy, and Rohit Roy in pivotal roles. The first film was also noted for its soul-stirring music by Rajesh Roshan and a taut screenplay by Vijay Kumar Mishra, elements that fans expect to see replicated or elevated in the second chapter. Kaabil 2 will depend on Hrithik Roshan's current high-stakes slate.The actor is currently deep in the pre-production phase for the ambitious Krrish 4, which is expected to reach theaters in 2027. In a significant development for the franchise, Krrish 4 is slated to begin principal photography in mid-2026, with reports suggesting that Hrithik Roshan may take the director's chair himself. The superhero sequel is also reportedly moving toward a co-production model with Yash Raj Films (YRF), a move necessitated after extensive budget negotiations to ensure the project meets global visual standards. With Krrish 4 serving as the primary focus for mid-2026, Kaabil 2 is being viewed as a potent, high-intensity action project that could bolster FilmKraft's lineup during the 2026-2027 production cycle once the deadlier script receives the final go-ahead.

The behind-the-scenes intensity of Aditya Dhar's blockbuster Dhurandhar continues to surface as co-star R Madhavan revealed a poignant moment that left seasoned actors Akshaye Khanna and Arjun Rampal emotionally shattered. Speaking in a recent interview with Sonia Shenoy, Madhavan detailed the heavy atmosphere on set during the filming of the sequence recreating the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks. The scene in question required Akshaye Khanna, portraying the antagonist Rehman Dakait, and Arjun Rampal, playing Major Iqbal, to enact a scripted celebration of the tragic events.According to Madhavan, the professional facade dissolved the moment the director called cut. Both actors reportedly broke down and cried uncontrollably, overwhelmed by the sensitive nature of the subject matter and the collective memory of living through the real-life tragedy in 2008. It wasn't just acting for them. They have lived through those times and seen real incidents like that, Madhavan stated, noting that the incident underscored the extreme seriousness with which the production handled the recreation.The actor reflected that this specific breakdown convinced him that the film was destined to be a very special project, transcending typical action-thriller tropes to tap into deep-seated national sentiment. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Dhurandhar, which released on December 5, 2025, has already etched its name in history as a massive box-office phenomenon, crossing the ₹1,300 crore mark globally. The film, led by Ranveer Singh, earned praise for its realistic staging and gritty narrative involving an Indian intelligence operative embedded in Karachi's underworld. The focus now shifts to the high-stakes sequel, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, which is locked for a worldwide theatrical release on March 19, 2026.The sequel is expected to conclude the espionage saga across five languages: Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. With the first installment still fresh in the public consciousness and holding a strong emotional connection, trade expectations for the sequel are sky-high as it prepares for a major box-office clash with Yash's Toxic during the Eid and Ugadi festive window.

The promotional engine for one of 2026's most anticipated sequels has officially shifted into high gear. According to an exclusive report by Pinkvilla, the makers of the Ranveer Singh-led action spectacle Dhurandhar 2 are slated to unveil the first official trailer in the first week of March, with internal sources pointing toward a March 5 launch date. This strategic timing serves as the primary buildup for the film's grand theatrical release during the Eid 2026 window, effectively positioning the sequel as a cornerstone event for the global box office this spring. Industry insiders who have been granted early previews of the trailer report a significant escalation in scale, world-building, and emotional intensity compared to the first installment. The sequel reportedly expands the narrative into unexplored territories, yet the focal point of the footage remains Ranveer Singh's radical transformation into the King of Lyari. Early internal reactions emphasize Singh's commanding screen presence and the physical gravitas he brings to this evolved version of his character, which trade experts suggest will be a major catalyst in driving mass ticket sales upon release. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The immense anticipation for the sequel is anchored by the record-breaking commercial performance of its predecessor, which redefined box office benchmarks. Dhurandhar concluded its theatrical run as a certified global juggernaut, amassing a lifetime India net collection of ₹838.5 crore. The film made history by crossing the prestigious ₹1000 crore milestone in domestic gross alone (₹1005.85 crore), bolstered by a robust overseas contribution of ₹299.5 crore. Even in its late stages, the film displayed exceptional longevity, collecting ₹0.72 crore in its tenth week and ₹0.18 crore in its eleventh, ultimately pushing its cumulative worldwide total to a staggering ₹1305.35 crore. This unprecedented success has established a formidable commercial threshold, fueling expectations for the sequel to perform as a top-tier global earner. The decision to launch the trailer in early March aligns with a massive marketing blitz designed to dominate the lucrative festive holiday period starting March 20. While the original Dhurandhar established the gritty foundations of this action universe, the sequel aims to surpass those benchmarks through high-octane sequences and a more complex narrative arc. This release sets the stage for a significant box-office showdown, as Dhurandhar 2 is currently scheduled to clash with Yash's period gangster epic Toxic, making the March 2026 frame one of the most competitive windows for Indian cinema in recent years.

Director Bejoy Nambiar's survival thriller Tu Yaa Main has concluded its first week at the box office with a quiet performance, impacted by limited star pull and heavy competition for screen space with the concurrent release O'Romeo. Since its debut on February 13, 2026, the film has netted ₹4.45 crore domestically over its initial seven-day run. The survival drama faced significant challenges in securing prime showtimes as a substantial portion of theatrical capacity was shared with O'Romeo, leaving Tu Yaa Main with a restricted footprint in major circuits.

After debuting with a quiet ₹0.6 crore on Friday, Tu Yaa Main witnessed a staggering 141.67% jump to collect ₹1.45 crore on Day 2. While Sunday saw a typical stabilization at ₹0.8 crore, the movie managed to maintain a consistent run during the weekdays, adding roughly ₹1.6 crore between Monday and Thursday.
