Diljit Dosanjh's 'Sardaar Ji 3' Dominates Overseas Box Office, Nears 50 Crore

Mumbai, July 8 - Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh's horror-comedy Sardaar Ji 3 continues to be a force at the overseas box office, after skipping its India release due to controversy. The film is now inching close to the ₹50 crore mark in international markets alone. ## Directed by Amar Hundal, the film collected approximately ₹9 crore during its second weekend, reflecting a solid hold with just a 40% drop from its first frame. Notably, this total excludes Pakistan, where the film had grossed ₹7 crore in its first week but saw no collections over the weekend due to cinema closures for Muharram. ## With a 10-day overseas gross of ₹42.60 crore (~$5 million), Sardaar Ji 3 now stands as the highest-grossing Punjabi film of 2025, surpassing "Saunkan Saunkanay 2", which had earned around an estimated ₹35 crore globally after its release on May 30th. ## Top Performing Territories ## North America is the biggest market for the film with approximately ₹18.75 crores ($2.2 million), followed by Pakistan with 7 crores ($830K), and the United Kingdom with ₹6.25 crores ($725K). Sardaar Ji 3 is the third biggest Punjabi grosser at the overseas box office, after "Carry On Jatta 3" (₹46 crores) and "Jatt & Juliet 3" (₹57.50 crores). The latest blockbuster has a chance to become the biggest Punjabi grosser in international markets. ## Missed Potential in India ## Sardaar Ji 3 could have emerged as the biggest Punjabi movie at the worldwide box office had it been released in India. But the makers had to let go of its release in the domestic market due to the casting of Pakistani actress Hania Aamir, which caused backlash for the makers in the country. ## Stay tuned...

Vijay Deverakonda's 'Kingdom' Announces A New Release Date; Film To Skip Hindi Release

Hyderabad, July 8 - Telugu heartthrob Vijay Deverakonda's much-awaited action thriller Kingdom, directed by "Jersey" fame Gowtam Tinnanuri, has been confirmed to hit the big screens on July 31st, after getting postponed on multiple occasions. ## The release date announcement of "Kingdom" has ended the wait for the fans, but the announcement comes with a twist. The movie was originally announced to be released in Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi (as "Saamraajya"), but in the latest release date announcement, there is no mention of the Hindi version. ## While the clear reason for not releasing the movie in Hindi is not known yet, the reports say that it will be released directly on a streaming platform. Netflix is the streaming partner of the movie, and there was a different deal in place originally. ## However, the multiple delays led to a situation where Netflix asked the makers to release the movie in theatres as soon as possible. It is worth noting that to release a movie in a multiplex in Hindi, the film requires, at least, an 8-week theatrical window, and this seems not to be the case with Kingdom. ## To avoid these challenges, the makers have reportedly skipped theatrical release in Hindi. The film, produced by Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas, will release only in Telugu along with the dubbed version of Tamil on July 31st. Bhagyashri Borse features as the female lead alongside Satyadev in the movie, which has music by Anirudh Ravichander. ## ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: 'F1 Movie' Nears $300 Million Worldwide; Races Past 50 Crore In India

Los Angeles, July 7 - Brad Pitt's high-octane racing sports drama F1: The Movie is continuing to impress at the global box office, and has proved to be a sleeper hit for Apple Studios. Directed by Joseph Kosinski, the movie is nearing the $300 million milestone, marking a major win for original Hollywood content in 2025. ## Domestic, overseas, and worldwide collection ## In 10 days so far, F1 has generated $293.5 million worldwide, including $109.5 million at the domestic (North America) box office and $184 million overseas over 71 markets. The movie was reportedly made on a budget of around $200 million. ## Biggest hit for Apple, and the biggest racing original film ## F1 has become the highest-grossing worldwide grosser for Apple, beating Ridley Scott's "Napoleon" ($221 million worldwide). It is, however, worth noting that Apple's theatrical slate isn't as vast as other studios, as it has only released five so far, also including "Killers of the Flower Moon" ($158 million), "Fly Me to the Moon" ($42 million) and "Argylle" ($96 million). ## F1, meanwhile, has outgrossed the entire worldwide theatrical box office run of Twentieth Century Fox Studios' "Ford v Ferrari" ($225.50 million worldwide) to become the biggest racing original film. "Ford v Ferrari", however, is currently ahead of "F1" in the domestic market after 10 days. ## What is India collection of F1 movie ## In India, where the love for Formula 1 is steadily rising, the film has managed to cross ₹50 crore gross, a remarkable feat for a non-franchise international release. With strong word of mouth and continued interest from metro audiences, F1 put up a solid performance in the second weekend to gross around 18 crores, dropping just 30% from the opening frame. ## The film has not just sustained its momentum but accelerated over the weekdays — a rare occurrence in the current box office landscape. Released on June 28, F1 enjoyed a powerful opening weekend of ₹25.50 crore gross in India, and it has maintained a steady hold across its second week. After 10 days, it has managed to gross around 60.50 crores ($7+ million) in the country, making it a solid success for the involved parties. ## About the movie ## The film stars Brad Pitt as a retired driver making a sensational comeback, and features real F1 circuits, actual race footage, and cameos from top drivers, all of which have thrilled motorsport fans. The combination of Hollywood star power, top-tier direction, and authentic F1 appeal is fueling the movie’s strong theatrical run. ## As it edges closer to the $300M benchmark, F1 is not only a commercial victory but also a potential awards-season contender in the technical categories, especially for sound design, editing, and cinematography, based on the reception from critics. ## Stay tuned...

Ranbir Kapoor’s Ramayana Budget Soars to ₹1600 Crore: Inside the Costliest Indian Film Franchise

A Cinematic Epic Redefining Indian Cinema ## Mumbai, July 5, 2025 – Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama and Yash as Ravana, has set social media ablaze with its jaw-dropping first-look teaser. Dubbed the greatest Indian epic of all time, this two-part cinematic masterpiece, set for release on Diwali 2026 and Diwali 2027, promises an unparalleled visual spectacle. But what does it take to bring this mythological saga to life? A staggering ₹1600 crore budget, making Ramayana the most expensive Indian film franchise ever. Here’s an in-depth look at the budget, production, and why this film is poised to dominate the box office. ## The Teaser That Took the Internet by Storm The 3-minute intro teaser of Ramayana has left audiences speechless, showcasing: World-Class VFX: Crafted by DNEG, an 8-time Oscar-winning studio, the visuals rival Hollywood blockbusters like Avatar. Electrifying Score: A collaboration between legendary composers Hans Zimmer and AR Rahman, blending Indian and global musical sensibilities. Star Power: Glimpses of Ranbir Kapoor’s serene Lord Rama and Yash’s menacing Ravana, setting the stage for an epic face-off. Fans on X can’t stop raving about the teaser’s grandeur, with posts like “#RamayanaTeaser is a game-changer for Indian cinema!” trending worldwide. Check out the buzz on X and join the conversation! ## Breaking Down the ₹1600 Crore Budget According to Bollywood Hungama, sources close to producer Namit Malhotra confirm that Ramayana’s two parts are being crafted with a combined budget of ₹1600 crore, excluding print and publicity costs. Here’s the breakdown: Part 1 (Diwali 2026): ₹900 crore, covering elaborate sets, character designs, and digital assets for Ayodhya, Lanka, and beyond. Part 2 (Diwali 2027): ₹700 crore, leveraging existing sets and assets from Part 1 to optimize costs. Why the cost difference? Most of the intricate sets, costumes, and VFX assets for Ramayana Part 1 will be reused in Part 2, significantly reducing production expenses. Namit Malhotra, CEO of Prime Focus Studios, views the ₹1600 crore as a unified investment in the Ramayana franchise, not split by parts.## Comparison with Other Indian Blockbusters To put this in perspective: Adipurush (2023): ₹500 crore budget, criticized for VFX quality. Baahubali 2 (2017): ₹250 crore, a benchmark for Indian epics. RRR (2022): ₹550 crore, a global hit. Ramayana’s budget dwarfs these films, reflecting its ambition to redefine Indian cinema on a global stage. ## The Vision Behind the Budget Produced by Namit Malhotra’s Prime Focus Studios and Yash’s Monster Mind Creations, Ramayana is a passion project. Malhotra, whose DNEG studio has worked on films like Dune and Interstellar, is leveraging cutting-edge technology to create a mythical world that feels authentic yet larger-than-life. The budget covers: VFX and CGI: DNEG’s expertise ensures hyper-realistic depictions of Ayodhya, Lanka, and Hanuman’s aerial feats. Global Talent: Hans Zimmer’s involvement elevates the film’s appeal to international audiences. Massive Sets: Replicas of ancient Indian architecture, built across multiple studios. Star-Studded Cast: Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, Sai Pallavi (Sita), Ravi Dubey (Lakshman), and Sunny Deol (Hanuman) command significant fees. ## Will Ramayana Break Box Office Records? The makers are confident that Ramayana will not only recover its colossal budget but also deliver massive profits. Here’s why: Global Appeal: With Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, the film targets Bollywood and South Indian audiences, while Zimmer’s score and DNEG’s VFX attract international viewers. Festive Release: Diwali 2026 and 2027 releases ensure high footfall in India and the diaspora. Advance Booking Potential: Sacnilk’s data on films like Sikandar (3.38 lakh tickets sold) suggests Ramayana could shatter pre-sale records. Industry insiders predict Ramayana could gross over ₹2000 crore worldwide, surpassing Baahubali 2’s ₹1788 crore record. Stay tuned to Sacnilk for real-time box office updates when the film releases! ## Meet the Stellar Cast of Ramayana The film’s ensemble cast is a major draw: Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama: Known for Brahmastra, Ranbir brings depth to the virtuous hero. Yash as Ravana: The KGF star’s intense portrayal promises a formidable antagonist. Sai Pallavi as Sita: Her emotional range elevates the divine feminine. Ravi Dubey as Lakshman: A TV star turned film actor, adding loyalty and grit. Sunny Deol as Hanuman: The Gadar icon embodies strength and devotion. ## Why Ramayana Is a Game-Changer Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana isn’t just a film—it’s a cultural milestone. By blending Indian mythology with Hollywood-grade production, it aims to put Indian cinema on the global map. The ₹1600 crore budget reflects a bold bet on quality, scale, and storytelling.
