Mumbai, August 11 - Ram Gopal Varma is gearing up to return to the gritty crime genre with Police Company, an action crime drama headlined by Harshvardhan Rane. The filmmaker has reunited with several actors associated with his iconic 1998 film Satya, while also bringing together a fresh ensemble for the upcoming project. Rane will portray Mumbai's celebrated encounter specialist Daya Nayak, a role that marks an interesting addition to his filmography. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, Fardeen Khan has joined the cast and will portray one of Rane's colleagues and a key member of the specialised police squad at the centre of the story. Soundarya Sharma will play the female lead opposite Rane. Adding further nostalgia and weight to the cast, Varma has brought back Satya actors Paresh Rawal, Saurabh Shukla and Makarand Deshpande in pivotal supporting roles. Police Company is set against the backdrop of the late 1990s and early 2000s, when Mumbai's underworld was expanding its influence. The film draws inspiration from the real-life period between 1997 and 2004, when a specialised police squad was formed to counter the growing threat of organised crime. The squad is believed to have eliminated nearly 300 gangsters during this period, with Daya Nayak emerging as one of its most prominent and celebrated members. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film is produced by Bhushan Kumar's T-Series and Ram Gopal Varma's RGV Company Production. Police Company is scheduled to go on floors on August 17 in Mumbai, with the makers planning to complete the shoot by December. The film is currently targeting a theatrical release in 2027, making it one of Varma’s most notable upcoming projects as he returns to the hard-hitting crime storytelling that has been central to his filmmaking legacy. With Harshvardhan Rane leading the film, Fardeen Khan playing a key police officer and Varma reuniting with Paresh Rawal, Saurabh Shukla and Makarand Deshpande, Police Company brings together a combination of fresh faces and familiar collaborators. The project is expected to blend Varma's trademark realism with action, atmospheric tension and the moral complexities surrounding the police-versus-underworld conflict.

Mumbai, May 17 - Jio Studios and Mumbai Film Company's historical action drama Raja Shivaji has officially crossed the coveted 100 crore gross mark at the domestic box office, emerging as one of the biggest blockbusters in the history of Marathi cinema. Directed by and starring Riteish Deshmukh, Raja Shivaji, based on the life of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, has been rewriting records since its release on May 1. The film opened to a record-breaking first weekend of 40.35 crore gross, the biggest opening weekend ever for a Marathi film. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The momentum continued through the weekdays as the film ended its first week with a phenomenal 62.40 crore gross collection, setting another all-time Marathi cinema record. Despite the expected drop in the second week, Raja Shivaji remained strong and collected 28.70 crore gross. The film continued its solid theatrical run in the third weekend as well, despite the new releases fueling the competition, adding another 9 crore gross collection and taking the total past the historic 100 crore milestone, becoming only the second Marathi film to do so. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The movie has enjoyed phenomenal support in Maharashtra while also posting solid numbers in the Hindi version. Strong word-of-mouth, repeat audience footfalls, and the grand scale presentation have helped the film sustain superbly over multiple weeks. The movie features an ensemble cast including Sanjay Dutt, Genelia Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Vidya Balan, Fardeen Khan, and a cameo of Salman Khan. Riteish Deshmukh's portrayal of Shivaji Maharaj has received widespread appreciation from audiences and critics alike.

Riteish Deshmukh's much-anticipated historical epic Raja Shivaji is generating significant momentum ahead of its May 1 release. The film has recorded a healthy response in its advance booking phase, crossing the 1.1 crore mark in all-India gross collections without block seats. When including block seats, the total first-day advance booking stands at 1.55 crore. With over 42,700 tickets already sold across 1,105 shows, the film is poised for a strong start, particularly in its home territory of Maharashtra. Beyond the booking numbers, an interesting development regarding the film's runtime has surfaced. As exclusively reported by Bollywood Hungama, Raja Shivaji will be released with two different runtimes for its Marathi and Hindi versions. While it is standard practice for multi-language releases to maintain the same length, this film serves as an exception. The Marathi version has a runtime of 195.05 minutes, which translates to 3 hours 15 minutes and 5 seconds. In contrast, the Hindi version is shorter by exactly 8 minutes, clocking in at 187.05 minutes or 3 hours 7 minutes and 5 seconds.This strategic difference in pacing was also reflected in the film's promotional material; while the Marathi trailer runs for 3 minutes and 5 seconds, the Hindi trailer was kept slightly shorter at 2 minutes and 59 seconds. The Hindi version of the film was cleared by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) with a U/A 16+ certificate on April 28. While no major cuts were requested, the CBFC's only suggestion was that the names of chapters, dates, events, and locations be specifically mentioned in Hindi for that version.This runtime experiment is reportedly a strategic move by Riteish Deshmukh. According to industry insiders, the director wanted to keep the narrative crisper for the national audience, while retaining a more detailed and local flavor for the Marathi audience who are naturally more connected to the historical context. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The language-wise breakdown of the advance booking reflects the film's strong regional pull, though the Hindi version is also carving out its space. Here is a look at the current 1st-day advance booking status: Marathi (2D): 1.05 Cr Gross | 40,070 Tickets Sold | 992 Shows Hindi (2D): 4.50 Lakh Gross | 2,667 Tickets Sold | 113 Shows All India Total (Gross): 1.10 Cr (1.55 Cr with block seats) Total Tickets Sold: 42,737 Marathi (2D): ATP 226 Hindi (2D): ATP 182 The trend was also visible in the promotional material, as the Marathi trailer was slightly longer than the Hindi one. The film features a massive ensemble cast including Genelia Deshmukh, Sanjay Dutt, Abhishek Bachchan, Vidya Balan, and Fardeen Khan. Produced by Mumbai Film Company and Jio Studios, Raja Shivaji is one of the most ambitious Marathi productions to date. This star power, combined with the historical significance of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, has led to a surge in demand across key cities. Pune has emerged as the strongest performing center, leading the bookings with several theaters introducing 7:00 AM shows to accommodate the audience. Mumbai is also seeing steady growth in ticket sales. Among the national multiplex chains, the performance has been encouraging with PVR Inox leading the Marathi version sales at 10,000 tickets. Miraj Cinemas has followed with 4,500 tickets, while Cinepolis and MovieMax have sold 3,000 and 2,500 tickets respectively. With a total of 1,105 shows scheduled across India, Raja Shivaji is looking to set new benchmarks for Marathi cinema at the box office.

Mumbai, June 30 - Superstar Akshay Kumar's comedy-thriller Housefull 5 is losing momentum at the domestic box office amid growing competition, as the film collected approximately 1.50 crore net collection in its fourth weekend.## Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, the fifth instalment in the popular franchise has amassed around 182 crore net (217 crore gross) in India over 24 days. Despite the slowdown, the film remains the second-highest-grossing Bollywood release of 2025, trailing only Vicky Kaushal's "Chhaava". ## Globally, Housefull 5 has earned an estimated 287 crore gross, including about ₹70 crore from overseas markets. With this, it is on course to finish just below "Sooryavanshi" (₹293 crore gross) as Akshay Kumar's second-biggest worldwide hit post-COVID. ## Within the franchise, Housefull 5 stands as the second-highest grosser, behind Housefull 4 (296 crore worldwide, 2019). In Akshay Kumar's overall filmography, it is projected to be his sixth biggest grosser, following, "2.0" (744 crore), "Toilet: Ek Prem Katha" (316.50 crore), "Good Newwz" (316 crore), "Housefull 4" (296 crore), and "Sooryavanshi" (293 crore). ## Despite being mounted on an estimated budget of 250 crore, Housefull 5 has managed to turn in a decent performance, although the expectations were much higher given the massive scale, ensemble cast, and brand value. However, mixed word-of-mouth has impacted its long-term legs at the box office. ## Produced by Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, the film features an ensemble star cast that includes, Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Sanjay Dutt, Fardeen Khan, Nana Patekar, Jackie Shroff, Shreyas Talpade, Dino Morea, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Chitrangada Singh, Sonam Bajwa, Soundarya Sharma, Chunky Pandey, Nikitin Dheer, and Johnny Lever. ## As it heads into the final stretch of its theatrical run, Housefull 5 is likely to settle as a commercially successful, albeit underwhelming, chapter in the long-running franchise. ## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, June 6 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar-led comedy entertainer Housefull 5 hits the big screen today, June 6, amid huge anticipation. Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, it is the costliest film of the franchise, and the expectations are huge from this at the box office. ## Housefull 5 scored one of the biggest advances of the year for a Bollywood title, with approximately 2.50 lakh tickets sold worth approximately 8 crore gross collection (without block seat) for the opening day. The pre-sales, however, are not as big as it was expected given the franchise value and huge star cast. ## Despite pre-sales falling short of expectations, Housefull 5 is eying the record opening in the franchise. In comparison to one of the recent films, Sikandar, the advance booking of HF5 is slightly behind, but it needs to be noted that the Salman Khan-starrer had a Sunday release. ## It has also been observed that the Housefull franchise is not usually an advance-heavy franchise and has relied on spot bookings, and this seems to be the case with the latest instalment. The urgency in booking tickets is much higher on the release day than on the previous days, which shows the strong response in spot booking. ## At this point, Housefull 5 is looking to score the biggest opening of the franchise, beating Housefull 4, which scored around 19 crore net. The pre-sales response suggests the opening in the range of 23-25 crores net, however, it might vary depending on how the day progresses in terms of walk-ins. ## Housefull 5 is produced by Sajid Nadiadwala under the banner Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment. It features a huge cast, also including Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Fardeen Khan, Shreyas Talpade, Nana Patekar, Jackie Shroff, Dino Morea, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Chitrangada Singh, Sonam Bajwa, Soundarya Sharma, Chunky Pandey, Nikitin Dheer, and Johnny Lever. ## Stay tuned...
