BY SUNIT JANGIR

Mumbai, July 16 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar-led comedy thriller Housefull 5 has completed its box office run with a collection below 300 crores gross, finishing as the second highest-grossing Bollywood movie of the year at the time it ended its theatrical journey. ## Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, Housefull 5 was released on June 6 amid a good hype. It was the movie that was perceived as one of Bollywood's biggest hits of the year, but the mixed reviews and audience reception drastically reduced its box office prospects. ## The movie was reportedly made on a budget of around 250 crores, making it the most expensive Indian comedy movie. Despite earning close to 300 crores gross, Housefull 5 ended as an average affair, and the budget is the major reason for this verdict. ## Housefull 5 India Net/Gross Box Office Collection ## The Sajid Nadiadwala's production scored an estimated 183.50 crores net collection (218.50 crores gross), making it the second biggest Bollywood net-grosser of the year. Overall, Housefull 5 finished as the 45th biggest Bollywood and 51st Hindi net-grosser of all time. For Akshay Kumar, it is his 6th biggest domestic grosser. ## Housefull 5 Overseas Box Office Collection ## At the international box office, the film grossed an estimated 70 crores gross collection, which is the second biggest for a Bollywood title of 2025. For Akshay Kumar, Housefull 5 is the 4th biggest overseas grosser, after 2.0, Good Newwz, and Toilet Ek Prem Katha. ## Housefull 5 Worldwide Box Office Collection ## The film has grossed an estimated 289 crores at the worldwide box office, emerging as the second biggest Bollywood grosser of the year, behind Chhaava. It is Akshay Kumar's biggest grosser since Sooryavanshi (293 crores), and his second biggest grosser in the post-COVID-19 pandemic. Overall, Housefull 5 is the actor's 7th biggest grosser globally. ## Housefull 5 India Footfalls/Admissions and Verdict ## In India, the film has sold approximately 10 million or 1 crore tickets.

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Mumbai, July 16 - Aamir Khan and Genelia Deshmukh's comedy drama Sitaare Zameen Par continues its steady run at the box office, with the film showing resilience in its fourth week. The film had a good 4th weekend in which it showed solid growth. The movie saw an expected dip on Monday (Day 25), but benefited from a discounted offer to score a slight jump on Tuesday. ## Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office Collection Day 26 ## Sitaare Zameen Par earned an estimated 75-80 lakh net collection on Tuesday, aided by the popular discounted ticket pricing implemented across various cinema chains. The film's total India net collection after 26 days stands at around 162 crore, a commendable feat considering the increasing competition. With family-friendly content and positive word of mouth, it has been able to attract weekday footfalls even weeks after its release. ## The fourth week began with a dip, scoring 55-60 lakh on Monday (Day 25). However, the Tuesday offer drew more audiences back into theatres, providing a modest mid-week boost. Cities like Jaipur recorded notably higher occupancy levels, clocking over 30%, while the national average occupancy was around 20%. In 5 days of the 4th week so far, the film has minted around 7.65 crores net as the full week is heading for 8.50 crores net. ## The film, which deals with themes of childhood trauma, education, and sports mentorship, has found a strong emotional connection with the audience. Its consistent weekend jumps and stable weekday figures have positioned it as a surprise success story in 2025. The movie is eyeing to finish its run with 165-170 crores net. ## Sitaare Zameen Par Worldwide Box Office Collection ## SZP has crossed 250 crores gross collection at the worldwide box office. After 26 days of run, the movie's India gross collection stands at around 193.50 crores (162 crores net), while overseas collection is around 65 crores, for the worldwide total of around 258.50 crores.

Ramayana's Rs. 4000 Crore Budget Shocks Netizens – Sets New Benchmark for Indian Cinema

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Mumbai, July 15 - Director Nitesh Tiwari's big screen adaptation of Ramayana is officially the costliest Indian film by a long margin, after producer Namit Malhotra revealed that the budget for this 2-part epic will be in the range of Rs. 4000 crores. ## In a recent podcast, Malhotra said that they have been working on this mega project for the past 6-7 years and by the time they are done with both parts, the budget will be around $500 million, which equals roughly Rs. 4000 crores. ## "We are making the largest film in the world for the greatest story and greatest epic that the world should see. I think it's still cheaper than some of the Hollywood films' budgets. I think we are making a bigger film at a lower cost. For me, it's not a money-driven thing", Malhotra said. ## Ramayana Budget Shocks Netizens ## While the budget of Ramayana is undoubtedly the highest ever for any Indian production, netizens are still not able to digest the fact that this project is costing Rs. 4000 crore, even though everyone is aware that some of the world's finest technicians with the best technology are working on it. ## Netizens are sharing their thoughts on social media and asking if Ramayana has that global pull to recover this budget. One can't blame the audience for their reactions, as no one could have imagined in their wildest dreams that an Indian production could have $500 million. To recover this cost, both parts of Ramayana will need to gross over $1 billion globally, which is a tough ask. ## Makers Are Super Confident On Ramayana's Global Appeal ## It is no secret that to recover the cost, Ramayana has to perform strongly outside India. According to Namit Malhotra, they are making a film that the global audience has never experienced before, and he is super confident that this historical epic will resonate with the worldwide audience, not only to Indians. ## Ramayana Cast, and Release Timeline ## Produced by Namit Malhotra and Yash, Ramayana stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama and Sai Pallavi as Goddess Sita, joined by Ravie Dubey as Lakshman, Yash as the fearsome Raavan, and Sunny Deol in the powerful role of Hanuman. The first part of the movie is scheduled to hit the big screen on Diwali 2026, followed by the second part on Diwali 2027. ##

War 2 vs Coolie: Which Star-Studded Film Could Emerge Victorious at the Box Office?

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Mumbai, July 14 - The stage is set for two of Indian cinema's most awaited blockbusters, YRF's War 2 and Lokesh Kanagaraj's Coolie, which hit the big screens in one month, during the Independence Day weekend. The films are gearing up to battle it in a direct clash at the box office on August 14 in multiple languages. ## Both films are headlined by massive stars, backed by successful franchises or filmmakers, and are positioned to make massive dents in the box office charts. But the question remains: which film has the edge? Even though both movies are from different industries, they carry enough power to dent each other's box office potential in some regions. ## Star Power ## War 2: The 6th film in YRF's Spy Universe brings together Hrithik Roshan, reprising his role as Kabir from the first movie, and Jr. NTR, who's making his Bollywood debut with this. The north-south combination is a major highlight of Ayan Mukerji's directorial, with fan bases across India. ## Coolie: The action drama film features Rajinikanth in a massy, larger-than-life avatar, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, whose last two directorial works were huge blockbusters in the form of Leo and Vikram. Plus, the presence of Aamir Khan, even if it is a cameo role, could make an impact in North India. ## Edge: War 2 has an edge due to its pan-India appeal with the presence of Hrithik and Jr. NTR in the leading role, but Coolie can make inroads purely because of star aura and cult following, especially in Tamil and Telugu states. ## Franchise Factor ## War 2: The film is a part of the hugely popular franchise, Spy Universe, and also serves as a sequel to the blockbuster film, War (2019). The potential crossover between the actors of other films in the universe makes it further appealing. Coolie: Despite the rumours, the makers have confirmed that Coolie is not a part of Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU), and serves as a standalone film. ## Edge: War 2 benefits from being part of a shared cinematic universe with established audience expectations. ## Box Office Potential ## War 2: The blockbuster sequel is expected to dominate in North India and overseas, especially due to YRF's strong distribution and Jr. NTR's debut in the Hindi belt. The latter's presence also makes the film a priority in Telugu states. Coolie: South India is expected to go berserk for Coolie. Despite Jr. NTR's War 2, the Rajinikanth-starrer is likely to take a good opening in Telugu states as hype is already there. It is unlikely to challenge War 2 in the Hindi belt, but could find some success if marketing is spot-on with Aamir Khan. ## Edge: War 2 might take the lead globally and in multiplex circuits. Coolie could dominate in the South and single screens. ## Who Could Emerge on Top? ## If War 2 manages to stay true to its franchise's strength by nailing its action, hitting emotional beats, and leveraging the Spy Universe well, it could become one of Bollywood's biggest blockbusters. Coolie, on the other hand, if it delivers the "Rajinikanth x Lokesh" experience fans are dreaming of, it could become a phenomenon in the South and surprise everyone in the North too. ## Conclusion ## War 2 looks winner at the moment (if both films score positive reception) as it has the broader pan-India commercial appeal due to various reasons (Spy Universe, sequel, and star power), but Coolie carries the weight of a mass revival moment for Rajinikanth, backed by a director who understands the pulse of today's audience. It can be said that the film that best balances content and hype will emerge victorious in the star-studded showdown. ## Stay tuned...

Wimbledon Celebrates Jannik Sinner's Title Triumph With Thalapathy Vijay's 'Jana Nayagan'

BY SUNIT JANGIR

London, July 14 - In an interesting crossover between cinema and sports, the official Instagram handle of Wimbledon, a tennis tournament organised by the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in collaboration with the Lawn Tennis Association, has celebrated Thalapathy Vijay's Jana Nayagan after Jannik Sinner's title triumph. ## On Sunday (July 13), the sensational young Tennis superstar from Italy outsmarted Spain's Carlos Alcaraz in the 4-set final to win his maiden Wimbledon title. To celebrate Sinner's biggest victory to date, Wimbledon posted a picture of him on Instagram, calling him "Wimbledon Nayagan" (Wimbledon's hero), resembling the first look poster of Vijay's farewell film. ## A Marketing Strategy By The Jana Nayagan Makers? ## The Wimbledon Championship is a popular sports event with a huge fan following in India. The latest "Wimbledon Nayagan" might be an organic thought and a smart marketing strategy by the makers to promote the film in the international market, especially in the Indian diaspora. Whatever the reason is, the poster has gone viral and is getting a lot of traction. ## About Jana Nayagana / Thalapathy 69 Movie ## Directed by H. Vinoth, Jana Nayagan is Vijay's 69th film, and potentially his last before his full-time entry into politics. The movie, produced by KVN Productions in its Tamil debut, is a political action thriller which also stars Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, Mamitha Baiju, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Prakash Raj, Narain, and Priyamani in prominent roles. ## The movie is scheduled to release on January 9, 2026, in multiple Indian languages, in theatres worldwide. ## View this post on Instagram A post shared by Wimbledon (@wimbledon) ## Stay tuned...
