Mumbai, August 14 - The highly-anticipated horror-comedy Stree 2, starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao in the leading roles, is all set to explode at the box office this Independence Day weekend, thanks to the extraordinary pre-sales for the weekend.## The movie is a part of producer Dinesh Vijan's Maddock Supernatural Universe and is the sequel to 2018's film Stree. Apart from the well-received teaser/trailer and songs, being a sequel to the blockbuster movie is proving to be a massive advantage for Stree 2 and the same is being reflected in the advance sales.## The advance booking of Stree 2 for the opening day is already the highest of 2024 in Hindi by a long margin and is looking to score one of the biggest pre-sales for a non-superstar title. As of 2 PM on August 14, the film has sold approximately 450K tickets worth 13 crores gross for the opening day (August 15).## The pace of Stree 2 pre-sales has been excellent since the day it opened and is expected to beat Shah Rukh Khan's Dunki (15.40 crores gross) to score the biggest booking in Hindi since Ranbir Kapoor's Animal in December 2023. The movie is looking to beat Dunki's opening (29 crores net approx.) but considering Stree 2 has more commercial value and huge anticipation, it is expected to score in the mid-3Os.## The film is releasing on Independence Day which will boost walk-ins so there is a good chance of Stree 2 going beyond the 35 crores net mark and an outside chance of touching 40 crores net (optimistic), depending on word of mouth. The movie is clashing with Akshay Kumar's Khel Khel Mein and John Abraham's Vedaa, however, Stree 2 is behaving like a frontloaded solo release as the pre-sales are miles ahead of the rest of the two movies.## Directed by Amar Kaushik, Stree 2 will easily become the biggest opener for Shraddha Kapoor as well as Rajkummar Rao, director Kaushik and also for Maddock Films. Meanwhile, the movie has paid previews today (August 14) and booking for the same is excellent.## Stay tuned...

According to T2BLive, the sequel's worldwide theatrical business has been valued at 48 crores and it will need to score around 80 crores gross to emerge as a box office hit.## In Telugu states (Andhra Pradesh and Telangana), the theatrical rights of Double iSmart have been locked at 39 crores, including 15.50 crores for the Nizam area, 6 crores for Ceeded and 17.50 crores for Andhra regions. Outside Telugu states, the film's business is 6 crore while overseas business is 3 crore. ## Double iSmart is the sequel to iSmart Shankar which was a big box office blockbuster. Given the long holiday period, it should be a cakewalk for the sequel to repeat the first film's success if it manages to score positive word of mouth which is a must as business is high for a tier-2 hero film.## Produced by Puri Connects, in the movie, Big Bull, a notorious assassin, wants to achieve immortality and decides to transfer his memories to "iSmart" Shankar, who already has another person's memories transferred to him, thus setting the stage for the intense confrontation between Shankar and Big Bull.## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, August 13 - The re-release box office collection of romantic drama Laila Majnu has outgrossed its original run in the flat 5 days, scoring a big achievement amid the new release duds over the last couple of weeks. ## The Triptii Dimri and Avinash Tiwary-starrer heartbreaking tale of romance has scored an estimated 75+ lakh on its 5th day (Tuesday) which takes its total re-release collection to over 3.60 crores gross in 5 days. The movie had grossed an estimated 3.20 crores in its lifetime original run. ## The day 5 collection of Laila Majnu's re-release is bigger than day 4 (Monday) and day 2 (Saturday) which is excellent. At first, it looked like the movie would run out of time to beat its original run due to the arrival of new releases on August 15 but it did unthinkable to achieve the feat.## The movie is trending much better than anticipated as it went almost unnoticed during its original run back in 2018. Its performance so far indicates a long run at the box office, however, a lot will depend on how much it gets affected by new releases. ## At this point, Laila Majnu is trending better than Ranbir Kapoor-fronted's recently re-released Rockstar and if it manages to stand strong amid the new releases, the movie can surely go past the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer which grossed over 10 crores in India. ## Day-Wise Gross Collection of Laila Majnu (re-release) - Updated -## 1st Day (Friday) - 30 lakh approx.## 2nd Day (Saturday) - 75 lakh approx.## 3rd Day (Sunday) - 1.15 crore approx.## 4th Day (Monday) - 70 lakh approx.## 5th Day (Tuesday) - 85 lakh approx.## Stay tuned...

Hyderabad, August 13 - Telugu director Nag Ashwin teamed up with Pan India superstar Prabhas on Kalki 2898 AD which stormed the box office and has become one of the biggest Indian grossers of all time by topping 1000 crores worldwide. ## Kalki 2898 AD is the first installment in the planned Kalki universe but it seems the second film will take some time to get on the floors. The blockbuster filmmaker has announced his next film, tentatively titled Project S and has teamed up with the iconic production house AVM Productions for the same.## The details about the project are not revealed yet but the makers announced on social media that they are looking for associate directors based in Hyderabad for Project S. Interestingly, Kalki 2898 AD's working title was Project K and with his next being called Project S, the fans are drawing similarities. ## However, both the movies are unrelated as Prabhas-starrer was produced by Vyjayanthi Movies, another iconic production studio. It was believed that the pre-production of Kalki 2 was already underway but all seem to be just rumours. ## AVM Studios x Nag AshwinLooking for Associate Directors based in Hyderabad for a new project.

Mumbai, August 12 - Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan delivered the biggest blockbuster of his career in the form of Jawan which was released last year. The movie was directed by Tamil filmmaker Atlee and has other cast and crew from Tamil cinema.## Jawan was lauded by critics and audiences alike for having the South Indian flavour in terms of providing big-scale action entertainment and no wonder, King Khan has lauded South Indian cinema, calling it fantastic in terms of cinematically and technically. ## During an interaction at the Locarno Film Festival where the Pathaan star was honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award, Shah Rukh Khan spoke about the diversity of Indian cinema, and especially heaped high praise on Southern Indian film industries. ## "For years, the idea of regionalizing Indian cinema seemed wrong to me. Our country is so vast, and we don't just have different dialects but we have entirely different languages. There's Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi, Bengali, and so many more. It's all Indian cinema and some of the greatest storytelling in India comes from the South", said SRK.## He further added that "Cinematically and technically, South cinema is really fantastic. With recent hits like Jawan, RRR, and Baahubali, the world is finally starting to notice what we've always known in India".## Shah Rukh Khan previously worked with Tamil director Mani Ratnam's Dil Se.. in 1998 and it was a big box office success worldwide. The actor revealed that he had the desire to work in the South after Dil Se.. and it finally happened with Jawan which he calls a great experience. ## "South cinema has a specific style, with larger-than-life heroes and lots of music. I really enjoyed that. Jawan was a great experience for me. It was one of the first true fusions of Hindi and South Indian cinema that transcended boundaries and was loved across the nation", he added.## Meanwhile, SRK will soon start director Sujoy Ghosh's King which will be released in 2025. The actor has also been confirmed to reprise his voice role in the dubbed Hindi version of Disney's Mufasa: The Lion King which is scheduled to be released on December 20, 2024.## Stay tuned...
