After Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt's First Look In Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love & War Unveiled

Mumbai, September 25 - Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love & War has unveiled Alia Bhatt's first look, offering another glimpse into the visual world of the much-awaited period romantic drama. The reveal comes as the makers begin introducing the film's principal characters ahead of its worldwide theatrical release on January 21, 2027. The film stars Alia alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Alia Bhatt Gets a Grand Bhansali-Style Look Alia's poster places her at the centre of an extravagant stage drenched in deep red and golden lighting. She is seen dressed in a wine-coded, embellished performance outfit, complemented by an elaborate feathered headpiece. The theatrical setting, spotlights and lavish production design give the poster the unmistakably grand visual treatment associated with Bhansali's films. The first look is notably different in mood from the posters featuring Ranbir Kapoor that were unveiled a day earlier. Ranbir's posters presented him in a vintage setting, with a bloodied, bruised look as he drove a classic car, hinting at the film's more intense story.

The project also marks Vicky Kaushal's first film with Bhansali. The three actors have previously shared the screen in different combinations — Ranbir and Vicky appeared together in Sanju, while Alia and Vicky starred in Raazi and Ranbir and Alia featured in Brahmastra — but Love & War brings Ranbir, Alia and Vicky together in the same film for the first time. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The makers have so far kept the central plot and character details largely under wraps. Reports have described the project as a period romantic drama set against the backdrop of war, with the relationship between the three central characters expected to drive the narrative. However, many specific details reported about their characters have not yet been officially confirmed by the makers. Love & War Release Date Love & War is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on January 21, 2027, placing it just ahead of the Republic Day weekend. The film is also slated for IMAX release. With Ranbir Kapoor's look already revealed and Alia Bhatt now getting her own character poster, attention will naturally turn to Vicky Kaushal’s first look as the makers continue rolling out the promotional campaign for one of Bhansali’s biggest upcoming films.

Hanuman Ansh Week 7 Box Office: Over ₹44 Cr, Highest 7th Week in Bollywood as Film Sets Weekly Record for 4th Straight Time

Seven weeks in, Hanuman Ansh is still setting records nobody thought a film could chase this deep into its run. After a sixth week that was already the highest ever recorded by a Bollywood film at that stage, the seventh week added a further ₹44.95 Cr net across Days 43–49 — enough to make it the highest-ever 7th week collection in Bollywood history, comfortably ahead of anything the industry has seen at this point in a film's theatrical life. Across 50,627 shows in Week 7, the film crossed both the ₹250 Cr India net mark and the ₹300 Cr India gross mark — both on Day 44, the 7th Saturday. Overseas markets stayed steady through the week too, adding ₹11.00 Cr across the seven days and taking the total overseas gross to ₹36.50 Cr. As of Day 49, Hanuman Ansh stands at ₹340.55 Cr India gross and ₹288.33 Cr India net, across a cumulative 2,06,539 shows — with worldwide gross now at ₹377.05 Cr. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) A Weekend Bump, Then a Familiar Weekday Slide The week followed the now-familiar shape: a modest Friday (₹5.00 Cr), a big jump into the weekend (+95.0% to ₹9.75 Cr on Saturday, then +41.0% to ₹13.75 Cr on Sunday), and a sharp weekday correction from Monday (-69.8% to ₹4.15 Cr).

Hanuman Ansh BMS Ticket Sales: Crosses 70 Lakh, Needs Another 81,000 Tickets To Overtake Saiyaara And Enter Bollywood's Top 8 Bollywood

Hanuman Ansh BMS Ticket Sales: Crosses 70 Lakh, Needs Another 81,000 Tickets To Overtake Saiyaara And Enter Bollywood's Top 8

A film that made around ₹10 lakh on its opening day is now knocking on Saiyaara's door. Hanuman Ansh has sold 70,08,940 tickets on BookMyShow, which makes it the ninth biggest Hindi film on the platform and about 81,000 tickets short of Saiyaara's 7.09M. Border 2, a far bigger production on paper, sits below it at 5.41M. Seven weeks in, the sales haven't dried up. The film sold 1,18,170 tickets in the 24 hours to Day 47 and another 67,610 in the 24 hours to Day 48, even with Wednesday's occupancy sitting at 14.03%. At that pace, closing the gap to a Yash Raj romance reportedly made for ₹45 crore is a matter of days. Trade trackers put Hanuman Ansh's own budget at under ₹2 crore, and its first week netted just over ₹1 crore. Few people would have pencilled it in for a top-10 finish. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Where It Stands: Top 10 Bollywood Films by BMS Tickets Only eight Hindi films have sold more tickets on BookMyShow, and the two Dhurandhar films hold the top spots by a distance. Hanuman Ansh has already gone past Border 2 by about 1.6M tickets, and it has reached roughly half of what the first Dhurandhar sold and about 38% of Dhurandhar 2's total. Top 10 Bollywood BMS Ticket Sales (Millions) 18.37M 14.19M 12.59M 12.40M 11.16M 9.91M 9.18M 7.09M 7.01M 5.41M Dhurandhar 2 Dhurandhar Chhaava Jawan Stree 2 Animal Gadar 2 Saiyaara Hanuman Ansh Border 2 The Saiyaara Gap Is Small Enough to Close in Days Saiyaara's 7.09M is about 1.1% ahead of Hanuman Ansh's current count, or roughly 81,000 tickets. That is a little over a day's worth of Wednesday-level sales. Even if daily numbers keep sliding through the weekend, the overtake should come well before the run winds down. The timeline is short. If sales simply hold at Wednesday's 67,610 a day, the film would cover the gap by Friday. Even a slower 40,000 tickets a day gets it there by Saturday, and weekends usually bring a spike in bookings. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Why a Top-10 Finish Matters for a Film This Size Hanuman Ansh, a devotional drama directed by Vishal Chaturvedi, opened on 7 August with barely any noise. The trajectory since then looks like word of mouth doing the work: ₹284.68 Cr India net, ₹336.20 Cr India gross and ₹371.95 Cr worldwide, all built on a film that trackers say cost under ₹2 crore. Once it passes Saiyaara, the next name on the list is Gadar 2 at 9.18M, which is about 2.2M tickets away and out of reach at the current pace. Eighth place looks like where Hanuman Ansh will settle, and for a film with this kind of start, that is a very high place to land. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Hanuman Ansh BookMyShow FAQs 1. How many tickets has Hanuman Ansh sold on BookMyShow? Hanuman Ansh has sold 70,08,940 tickets on BookMyShow so far, which is about 7.01 million. 2. Where does Hanuman Ansh rank among Bollywood films on BookMyShow? It is currently 9th on the list of top Bollywood BMS ticket sales, ahead of Border 2 (5.41M) and behind Saiyaara (7.09M). 3. When will Hanuman Ansh overtake Saiyaara on BookMyShow? The gap is about 81,000 tickets. At Wednesday's pace of 67,610 tickets a day, the film could pass Saiyaara within a couple of days, and even a slower pace should get it there within a week. 4. How many tickets did Hanuman Ansh sell on BookMyShow in the last 24 hours? Hanuman Ansh sold 67,610 tickets in the 24 hours up to Day 48, down from 1,18,170 tickets in the 24 hours up to Day 47. 5. What is Hanuman Ansh's total box office collection till Day 48? After 48 days, Hanuman Ansh has collected ₹284.68 crore net and ₹336.20 crore gross in India, with a worldwide gross of ₹371.95 crore.

Mirzapur The Movie Box Office Day 20: Collection Falls To ₹1.75 Cr As Third-Week Earnings Cool 61% Since Saturday

The third week of Mirzapur The Movie has followed a familiar pattern: a loud weekend, then a slow fade. After ₹5.00 Cr on the third Sunday, the film has settled into a narrow ₹1.75 to ₹2.15 Cr band, and on Wednesday it landed at the bottom of that range with ₹1.75 Cr net on Day 20. That is an 18.6% fall from Tuesday's ₹2.15 Cr, and roughly 65% below the Sunday high. Exhibitors are trimming accordingly: the film ran across 4,268 shows, down from 4,419 a day earlier and from over 11,000 on Day 2. Occupancy delivered the sharper signal. Overall attendance sank to 14.98% from 22.90% on Tuesday, with every slot lower than the day before. The cumulative numbers still look healthy, though: ₹263.64 Cr India gross, ₹221.50 Cr India net and ₹322.39 Cr worldwide, after overseas added ₹0.50 Cr to reach ₹58.75 Cr.

Hanuman Ansh Box Office: Day 48 Drops 23.5% To ₹3.75 Cr, Yet Creates New Hindi Record

Wednesday was the day Hanuman Ansh finally felt the weight of a seven-week run. After Tuesday's bounce, the film slipped to ₹3.75 Cr net on Day 48, a 23.5% fall from ₹4.90 Cr, with the show count trimmed to 7,358.

The headline hides a sharper story underneath. Occupancy slid in every slot and in every region tracked, and the night shows, the film's strongest window on Tuesday at nearly 36%, fell to around 17%.

Ranbir Kapoor's First Look From Love & War Unveiled as Makers Reaffirm January 2027 Release

Mumbai, September 24 - Sanjay Leela Bhansali's much-awaited Love & War has dropped a striking new first-look poster featuring Ranbir Kapoor, offering audiences a fresh glimpse of the actor from the upcoming romantic drama, which also stars Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal in parallel lead roles. Along with unveiling the first look, the makers have also reaffirmed that the film will arrive in theatres in January 2027.

The actor is seen behind the wheel of a vintage blue convertible, sporting sunglasses and a moustache. What immediately grabs attention, however, is his bloodied and injured arm, adding an element of intrigue to the otherwise stylish visual. The combination of the vintage car, Ranbir's retro styling and the unexplained injuries hints at the dramatic side of the story.

Udta Teer Trailer Out: Ayushmann Khurrana Plays Amnesiac Pakistani Spy in Spy-Comedy with Sara Ali Khan; Releases Oct 9

The trailer of Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan's upcoming film Udta Teer has finally landed, revealing a madcap espionage comedy built around a Pakistani spy, a lost memory and one rather inconvenient change of allegiance. Written and directed by Aakash Kaushik, the film is scheduled to release in cinemas worldwide on October 9, 2026.The trailer was unveiled on September 23 and introduces Ayushmann as Bilal Ahmed, a highly trained Pakistani intelligence operative sent to India on a mission. Things go spectacularly off course after an explosion leaves Bilal with amnesia. Unable to remember who he really is, he begins believing that he is an Indian officer and finds himself working with India's Counter-Terrorism Squad. Udta Teer Trailer: Ayushmann Khurrana's Bilal Forgets Which Side He Is On The central joke of Udta Teer is established almost immediately. Pakistan sends Bilal to India as an operative, but after losing his memory, the spy retains his training while forgetting the very country he was working for. He consequently begins behaving like an Indian patriot and turns his skills against people who were originally on his own side.Sara Ali Khan plays an officer associated with the Indian Counter-Terrorism Squad and works alongside Bilal without initially knowing his real identity. The trailer uses that confusion to move between shootouts, explosions, physical comedy and Bilal's increasingly complicated attempts to make sense of who he is. Rather than approaching the India-Pakistan spy template as a conventional intelligence thriller, Aakash Kaushik appears to be using familiar espionage-film situations as the foundation for a broad comedy. The trailer even plays with some of the heightened patriotism normally associated with the genre, while keeping Bilal's identity crisis at the centre of the story. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Aakash Kaushik Makes His Directorial Debut With Udta Teer Udta Teer is particularly significant for Aakash Kaushik as it marks his feature-film directorial debut. While this is his first film as a director, Kaushik is far from a newcomer to Hindi cinema and has spent more than a decade working as a screenwriter. His writing credits include films such as Housefull 4, Thank God, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. He was associated with the story and screenplay of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and returned as a writer for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. More recently, he received a story credit on Akshay Kumar's Bhooth Bangla in 2026. That background is particularly relevant to Udta Teer. Kaushik has frequently worked in films that combine larger-than-life situations with comedy, and his first directorial venture takes that sensibility into the spy genre. Ayushmann Khurrana's Recent Box Office Track Record Ayushmann was most recently seen theatrically in Pati Patni Aur Woh Do, directed by Mudassar Aziz and co-starring Rakul Preet Singh, Sara Ali Khan and Wamiqa Gabbi. Released on May 15, 2026, the romantic comedy finished with a ₹51.38 crore India net and ₹67.96 crore worldwide. Sara has previously found notable theatrical success in the comedy-drama space as well. Her 2023 film Zara Hatke Zara Bachke, opposite Vicky Kaushal, finished its run with approximately ₹88.35 crore India net and ₹116 crore worldwide. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The official trailer gives audiences their first proper look at Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan in the film, mixing spy-film action with situational comedy, mistaken identity and political satire. What's Next For Ayushmann Khurrana After Udta Teer? Ayushmann will not have a long gap after Udta Teer. He is also headlining filmmaker Sooraj R. Barjatya's Yeh Prem Mol Liya, in which he stars opposite Sharvari. The film has Ayushmann stepping into the quintessential Prem space associated with several of Barjatya's best-known family dramas.Yeh Prem Mol Liya is currently scheduled for a theatrical release on November 27, 2026, giving Ayushmann two major releases within a span of less than two months.

Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia's upcoming folklore fantasy thriller The Vvaan - Force of the Forrest has completed its censorship formalities ahead of its theatrical release, and the film has received a rare clean passage from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, the CBFC's Examining Committee cleared The Vvaan without asking the makers to make a single cut or any audio or visual modification. The film has been granted a U/A 16+ certificate, while its final certified runtime has been locked at 136 minutes and 25 seconds, or approximately 2 hours, 16 minutes and 25 seconds. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The Vvaan CBFC Report: Zero Cuts And No Modifications What makes the certification notable is that the film has reportedly been passed completely untouched. The CBFC did not seek any cuts to scenes, dialogue mutes, or audio and visual modifications. The report further states that the board did not ask the makers to make other changes sometimes sought during the certification process, such as displaying the film's title and credits in the language of the film or adding an anti-drug ticker or advertisement. The Vvaan Runtime And Interval Breakdown The censor certificate lists the film's exact duration at 136.25 minutes. In conventional runtime terms, the final certified version runs for 2 hours, 16 minutes and 25 seconds. The two halves are not evenly divided.

Its central story follows a rational, city-bred man whose beliefs are challenged after he enters a forbidden forest connected to his ancestral village and disturbs an ancient divine force. What begins with his rejection of local beliefs places him in the middle of a much larger conflict, forcing him to confront forces beyond logic and emerge as a protector of his people. The film's setting and mythology are closely tied to Bihar, while the story also incorporates the celebration of Chhath Puja. The Vvaan Cast And Crew The film brings Sidharth Malhotra returns to cinemas after a gap of more than a year with Tamannaah Bhatia together on screen for the first time. The supporting cast includes Sunil Grover, Shweta Tiwari, Anup Soni, Maniesh Paul, Avtar Gill, Milind Gunaji and Sulabha Arya, among others.

Will There Be Drishyam 4? Abhishek Pathak Gives a Definitive Answer on Ajay Devgn-Led Franchise

Mumbai, September 23 - Ajay Devgn's journey as Vijay Salgaonkar is set to end with Drishyam: The Conclusion. Director Abhishek Pathak has confirmed that the upcoming third instalment will serve as the final chapter of the Hindi franchise, ruling out the possibility of Drishyam 4. The decision is also reflected in the film's title, with the makers opting for The Conclusion instead of simply calling it Drishyam 3. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Abhishek Pathak Says There's No Possibility of Drishyam 4 Speaking to Variety India about whether the Hindi franchise could return for another chapter, Pathak made it clear that the story is being brought to a definitive close. He said there is "no possibility" of revisiting the Hindi franchise for a fourth film, explaining that the team wanted to give Vijay Salgaonkar's journey proper closure rather than continue stretching the series. Ajay Devgn reprises his role as Vijay Salgaonkar in Drishyam 3: The Conclusion, with Tabu, Shriya Saran, Rajat Kapoor, and Ishita Dutta, among others, also returning to the final chapter. The third film will additionally feature Jaideep Ahlawat and Prakash Raj, bringing new characters into Vijay's increasingly complicated battle to protect his family. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Hindi and Malayalam Drishyam Franchises Take Different Routes The development is particularly significant because the Hindi and Malayalam Drishyam franchises are no longer following the same story and screenplay. While Mohanlal's Malayalam series could potentially continue beyond its third instalment, Pathak said that would not mean another Hindi adaptation. He explained that the two versions have now taken separate creative paths, with the Malayalam film leaning more towards an emotional family drama and the Hindi version being developed as a family thriller. With Drishyam: The Conclusion, Pathak intends to provide a definitive ending to a Hindi franchise that began with Drishyam in 2015 and continued with the successful Drishyam 2 in 2022. The third and final Hindi instalment is scheduled to arrive in theatres on October 2, 2026, marking the end of Ajay Devgn’s journey as Vijay Salgaonkar. The Malayalam version of the movie was released earlier this year and went on to become one of the biggest Mollywood grossers with over 200 crores worldwide.

India's OTT Audience Grows Just 11%, But Connected TV Explodes 60% to 206.9 Million — Here's What Changed in 2026 Bollywood

India's OTT Audience Grows Just 11%, But Connected TV Explodes 60% to 206.9 Million — Here's What Changed in 2026

India just quietly crossed a number worth pausing on: 664.9 million people — nearly two out of every five Indians — now watch some form of online video at least once a month. That's the headline finding from the sixth edition of The Ormax OTT Audience Report: 2026, released this month, and it's built on interviews with 15,000 respondents across urban and rural India, conducted in June and July 2026. It's widely regarded as the country's largest independent study of who's actually watching what on streaming — and this year's edition has a few numbers that genuinely stand out. The single biggest jump isn't in the overall OTT number, though that's up a healthy 11% year-on-year. It's in Connected TV. India's CTV audience — people watching streaming content on a smart TV or a TV connected to a streaming stick — has grown from 129.2 million in 2025 to 206.9 million in 2026, a 60% jump in a single year. Ormax founder and CEO Shailesh Kapoor put it simply: the rise of CTV is turning India from a phone-first streaming market into a genuine two-screen country. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 2025 vs 2026: What Actually Changed Laid side by side, the year-on-year shift makes the story clear — this wasn't a flat year for streaming in India. Every core metric moved up, and CTV moved up dramatically. METRIC 2025 2026 Total OTT Audience 601.2M ✓ 664.9M (+11%) Connected TV (CTV) Users 129.2M ✓ 206.9M (+60%) Active Paid Subscriptions 148.2M ✓ 172.6M (+16%) Share of Population Watching Online Video 41% ✓ 45% Source: The Ormax OTT Audience Report: 2026. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Beyond the Headline Numbers Scroll past the top-line figures and the report paints a picture of a country watching more, in more places, and in more formats than it was even a year ago. #1 44 Cities Now Have a Million-Plus OTT Audience Streaming in India is no longer a metro-only story — 44 cities across the country now have at least 1 million monthly OTT viewers each, a sign of how deep the audience has spread beyond the usual Tier-1 markets. #2 14.9 Hours a Week, on Average That's the average time an Indian OTT audience member spends watching video weekly, counting streaming apps, social media, micro-dramas and FAST channels. Add it up nationally and you get roughly 517 billion hours of video watched in India this year. #3 227.3 Million Audio Streamers India's monthly audio-streaming base now stands at 227.3 million people, though only a small slice of that — 15 million — actually pays for it, underlining how ad-supported free tiers still dominate audio in India. #4 FAST Channels Are Finding Their Footing Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV — the channel-style, no-subscription-needed format — is a new addition to this year's report, and it's already pulled in an estimated 35.2 million viewers in India. The Fastest-Growing Content Formats Perhaps the most telling part of this year's report isn't about screens at all — it's about what people are choosing to watch on them. Three relatively niche formats have exploded in audience size over the past year, and none of them are traditional long-form web series. +50% Micro-Dramas +48% K-Dramas +32% Anime Year-on-year audience growth by content format, per The Ormax OTT Audience Report: 2026. Micro-dramas — the short, vertical-video, mobile-first format popularised out of China — leads the pack at 50% growth, ahead of even K-dramas, which have been steadily building an Indian fanbase through platforms like Netflix and JioHotstar for years. Anime rounds out the top three, a category that's gone from a niche fandom to a genuine growth story on Indian streaming. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Why This Report Matters Now in its sixth year, The Ormax OTT Audience Report has become one of the few independent, primary-research-driven attempts to size India's streaming market, rather than relying on internet-penetration proxies or platform-reported numbers. Shailesh Kapoor, Ormax's founder and CEO, said the report has become a definitive and credible source of independent audience data for India's streaming ecosystem, adding that the CTV boom is reshaping India from a predominantly smartphone-led digital video market into a two-screen ecosystem. This edition also widens its scope meaningfully. Keerat Grewal, who heads business development for streaming, TV and brands at Ormax, noted that the 2026 report is the company's most comprehensive OTT audience report yet, adding fresh sections tracking FAST channel consumption and e-commerce behaviour across 12 app categories and nine shopping sub-categories — a sign that Ormax is now trying to connect audience behaviour directly to business and monetisation outcomes, not just content preferences. FAQs Q1. What is The Ormax OTT Audience Report? It's an annual study by Ormax Media, first published in 2021, that sizes and profiles India's online video (OTT) audience using primary survey research rather than proxy data like internet or smartphone penetration. The 2026 edition is its sixth. Q2. How big is India's OTT audience in 2026? 664.9 million people, or about 45% of India's population, up 11% from 601.2 million in 2025. An OTT audience member is defined as anyone who watched at least one online video, free or paid, in the past month. Q3. Why has Connected TV (CTV) grown so fast? The report doesn't break down the exact drivers, but the 60% jump — from 129.2 million to 206.9 million users — reflects the wider rollout of affordable smart TVs and streaming devices in India, pushing the country from a phone-first to a two-screen streaming market. Q4. How many people in India pay for OTT subscriptions? 172.6 million active paid subscriptions, including those bundled through telecom plans and OTT aggregators — up 16% from 148.2 million in 2025. Q5. Which content formats are growing the fastest? Micro-dramas are the fastest-growing content format, with audience growth of 50% year-on-year, followed by K-dramas at 48% and anime at 32%.

Shraddha Kapoor's Eetha Gets Solo December 4 Release as Akshay Kumar-Vidya Balan Comedy and Ajay Devgn's Ranger Move Out Bollywood

Shraddha Kapoor's Eetha Gets Solo December 4 Release as Akshay Kumar-Vidya Balan Comedy and Ajay Devgn's Ranger Move Out

The first Friday of December is turning out to be one of the more dramatic release-date sagas of the year. What was shaping up to be a three-way pile-up on December 4 has quietly resolved itself over the last few days, and as per Bollywood Hungama, the final domino has now fallen — clearing the runway for Shraddha Kapoor's Eetha to have the date entirely to itself. Akshay's Comic Caper Steps Aside A few days ago, Ajay Devgn's jungle-adventure Ranger, co-starring Sanjay Dutt and Tamannaah Bhatia, had already been pushed out of its original December 4 slot and moved to 2027, reportedly eyeing a post-Eid window in March that's a better fit for a family-friendly jungle adventure. That still left the first Friday of December set up for a clash between the untitled Akshay Kumar-Vidya Balan-Raashii Khanna comedy, directed by Anees Bazmee, and Shraddha Kapoor's Eetha. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Now, Bollywood Hungama has learned that the Bazmee comedy has also decided to vacate the date. A source told the portal, The makers of Akshay Kumar's next have decided not to arrive on December 4. The film will take time to get ready and hence, the makers as well as Akshay Kumar and director Anees Bazmee felt that it would be wise to bring the film later. The film is shaping up well and the stakeholders are confident that whenever it releases, it'll strike a chord with the audience. With that, Eetha now has December 4 entirely to itself. A Repeat Clash, Averted There's a neat bit of history behind this near-miss. Shraddha Kapoor's last theatrical outing was the blockbuster Stree 2, which had gone head-to-head with Akshay Kumar's Khel Khel Mein on Independence Day 2024 — a clash Stree 2 comfortably won on its way to becoming one of the year's biggest hits. With both stars circling the same December 4 date again, a second round looked all but set. That rematch has now been called off, and Eetha gets a clean, uncontested opening instead. What Eetha Brings to the Table Eetha casts Shraddha Kapoor as Vithabai Narayangaonkar, the legendary Marathi Tamasha and Lavani artist whose five-decade career made her a cultural icon in Maharashtra. Directed by Laxman Utekar — fresh off the success of Chhaava — and produced by Dinesh Vijan's Maddock Films, the film also features Randeep Hooda and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, with music by Ajay-Atul. It's a significant film for Shraddha too: her third collaboration with Maddock after both instalments of Stree. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film's journey to December 4 hasn't been entirely smooth. Eetha was originally dated for August 28, 2026, before the makers shifted it to avoid clashing with Yash's Toxic over the same Raksha Bandhan weekend. Its teaser, released back in June, went viral for a striking sequence showing Vithabai performing while heavily pregnant and giving birth backstage — a moment drawn from her real-life legend that drew widespread praise for Shraddha's transformation into the role. Where Does That Leave Akshay and Vidya Balan? The untitled Akshay Kumar-Vidya Balan comedy marks the duo's fourth film together after Heyy Babyy, Bhool Bhulaiyaa and Mission Mangal, and reunites Akshay with director Anees Bazmee after a 15-year gap — their last collaboration being Thank You in 2011, following earlier hits like Welcome and Singh Is Kinng. Backed by Sri Venkateswara Creations and also starring Raashii Khanna, Vijay Raaz and Sudesh Lehri, the film had wrapped a major Kerala schedule earlier this year. No new date has been announced yet, but with the makers themselves citing the need for more time to get the film ready, a 2027 release now looks the likelier landing spot. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) And Fauzi? The other name hovering around this date is Prabhas's period action drama Fauzi, directed by Hanu Raghavapudi and produced by Mythri Movie Makers, which had been eyeing December 3. As Bollywood Hungama noted in its earlier report, trade sources now suggest that release is unlikely to hold either — and that, like Ranger and the Akshay Kumar-Bazmee film, Fauzi too may end up moving to 2027, though nothing official has been confirmed yet.

Ajay Devgn's Horror Thriller With Rohit Jugraj Gets a Title: Suryasparsh Bollywood

Ajay Devgn's Horror Thriller With Rohit Jugraj Gets a Title: Suryasparsh

Mumbai, September 22 - Ajay Devgn is returning to the supernatural space with his upcoming horror thriller directed by Rohit Jugraj. The film, which was earlier being referred to by the working title Griha Pravesh, has now reportedly been titled Suryasparsh. The high-concept horror thriller is said to draw inspiration from Veda Vyasa's Garuda Puran, giving the story a mythological and philosophical layer. More interestingly, Devgn will reportedly play a supernatural and morally ambiguous character — a notable change from Shaitaan, where he played a father fighting against the sinister forces unleashed by R Madhavan's character. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Suryasparsh Begins Filming, Eyes 2027 Release The project has already moved into production, with filming reportedly beginning on September 2, 2026 and expected to continue through November. The makers are currently looking at a theatrical release in the second half of 2027, although an exact date is yet to be announced. Suryasparsh is being produced by Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak's Panorama Studios in association with Devgn Films. Abhishek Pathak has indicated that the film's horror will be driven by the questions its story raises and the unease it gradually creates, suggesting that the makers are aiming for an atmospheric supernatural thriller rather than relying only on conventional jump scares. Why Suryasparsh Is One to Watch A lot about Suryasparsh is still being kept under wraps, including its wider cast and exactly how the Garuda Puran will influence the narrative. What is known, however, already separates it from Devgn’s previous supernatural outings. Instead of simply battling an evil force, the actor himself is reportedly playing a supernatural character with shades of grey. Add Rohit Jugraj’s old Bhoot connection, the Garuda Puran-inspired premise and Devgn’s established partnership with Panorama Studios, and Suryasparsh has the ingredients for a very different addition to the actor’s growing slate of thrillers when it arrives in cinemas in 2027. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Ajay Devgn and Rohit Jugraj's Connection Goes Back to Bhoot While Suryasparsh marks Rohit Jugraj directing Ajay Devgn, there is an interesting connection between the two that dates back more than two decades. Jugraj worked as an assistant on Ram Gopal Varma's Bhoot (2003), which starred Devgn alongside Urmila Matondkar and remains one of the notable supernatural horror films of that period. Jugraj later went on to direct films including the Sardaarji franchise and worked on streaming titles such as Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein and Chamak. That makes Suryasparsh something of a full-circle moment: after working behind the scenes on an Ajay Devgn horror film, Jugraj is now directing the actor in one himself.

Mirzapur: The Movie Day 18 Box Office: ₹1.90 Cr After 62% Monday Drop as Third-Week Run Slows Down

Three weeks in, and the Purvanchal gang war is genuinely slowing down — the numbers on Day 18 make that plain. Mirzapur: The Movie hit its second Monday of the run and added just ₹1.90 Cr net across 4,456 shows, a 62.0% fall from Sunday's ₹5.00 Cr, as the crowd that turned up over the weekend went back to work. But a slowdown three weeks into a run isn't the same as an underperformance. Made on an estimated budget of ₹80–90 crore, Kaleen Bhaiya, Guddu and Munna Bhaiya's big-screen outing has already collected an India net of over ₹217 Cr — more than double what it cost to make — putting it well into profit territory for the trade. Day 18's dip is simply what a third week looks like for a film that's already done its job at the box office. With Day 18 added in, Mirzapur: The Movie now stands at ₹259.09 Cr in India gross, ₹217.60 Cr in India net, and a worldwide gross of ₹315.34 Cr — overseas alone contributing ₹56.25 Cr after adding ₹0.50 Cr on the day. The Hindi version continues to do the heavy lifting, having added ₹216.55 Cr of the overall net so far, while the Telugu version — the film released in Hindi and Telugu simultaneously — has chipped in ₹1.05 Cr. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Occupancy Comes Back Down to Earth Sunday's 32.80% overall occupancy didn't survive the weekday reset. Day 18 fell to 14.19% overall — Morning at 9.54%, Afternoon at 14.23%, Evening at 14.08%, and only Night holding up slightly better at 16.62%. It's the usual Monday pattern for a three-week-old release: the weekend crowd shows up, and the weekday stretch is where the real test begins.

Hanuman Ansh Day 46 Box Office: ₹4.15 Cr Despite 69.8% Drop — Beats Stree 2 to Set Highest-Ever Day 46 Record!

Hanuman Ansh just met its first Monday of Week 7, and Mondays don't forgive long-runners the way weekends do. Day 46 brought in ₹4.15 Cr net across 7,629 shows — a sharp 69.8% fall from Sunday's ₹13.75 Cr — as the multiplex crowds that packed houses over the weekend went back to their desks. And yet, even on its toughest single day in weeks, the film did something no Bollywood film has managed on a Day 46 before: it posted the highest-ever Day 46 collection for a Hindi film. Weekend 7 threw two fresh releases, Daayra and Vibe, into the marketplace — Hanuman Ansh shrugged off both and stayed exactly where it has been for over a month and a half: No. 1. With Day 46 folded in, Hanuman Ansh now stands at ₹325.95 Cr in India gross, ₹276.03 Cr in India net, and a worldwide gross of ₹352.45 Cr — overseas alone adding ₹0.50 Cr on the day to hold at ₹26.50 Cr. Cumulative show count has now crossed 1,84,750 domestically, and BookMyShow logged 1,05,960 tickets in the last 24 hours, pushing the platform's running total past 68.23 lakh tickets sold for the film to date.

Karan Johar's Dharma Productions Announces Film on R&AW Founder Rameshwar Nath Kao; Sets August 2028 Release

Mumbai, September 21 - Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, in association with Leo Media Collective, is bringing the story of legendary Indian spymaster Rameshwar Nath Kao, the founding chief of the Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW), to the screen. The project is based on journalist and national security analyst Nitin A. Gokhale's book R.N. Kao: Gentleman Spymaster, which chronicles the life and career of one of the most influential figures in India's intelligence history. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The Man Who Built R&AW Rameshwar Nath Kao became the first chief of RAW when India's external intelligence agency was established in 1968. Known for maintaining an exceptionally low public profile, Kao played an important role in developing India's foreign intelligence capabilities during a crucial period in South Asian history. His discreet working style and reputation within intelligence circles earned him the description of a "gentleman spymaster." The film will draw from Gokhale's R.N. Kao: Gentleman Spymaster, which explores Kao's career and the formative years of R&AW. His tenure coincided with major geopolitical developments, including the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War and the India-Pakistan conflict, giving the filmmakers substantial material for a historical espionage drama rooted in real events. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Dharma Revives the Long-Awaited Project Karan Johar first announced plans to adapt Gokhale's book in January 2020, but the project remained largely out of the spotlight due to various reasons. Its latest development signals that Dharma Productions is moving forward with the ambitious spy drama, and the release date is also locked for August 11, 2028, during Independence Day weekend. While the role is not known yet, former journalist Himesh Mankad has also joined the project. Further details regarding the film's director, lead actor and supporting cast are expected to shed more light on how the makers plan to bring Kao's closely guarded world to the screen. Unlike the larger-than-life fictional agents commonly seen in Bollywood spy films, Kao was known for operating quietly behind the scenes. His story could therefore offer audiences a more grounded look at intelligence gathering, strategy and the origins of India’s external intelligence agency. With Gentleman Spymaster providing the source material and a release plan now in place, Dharma’s Rameshwar Nath Kao project is finally taking a significant step towards the screen. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) He built the invisible…but history remembers his impact. Today marks 58 years of R&AW and we're thrilled to announce our film on the story of R.N.

Hanuman Ansh Vs Toxic: How a ₹2 Cr Film Surpasses Yash Starrer By Over ₹5 Cr Worldwide With 170X+ Recovery Bollywood

Hanuman Ansh Vs Toxic: How a ₹2 Cr Film Surpasses Yash Starrer By Over ₹5 Cr Worldwide With 170X+ Recovery

Box office stories rarely get more contrasting than this one. On one side: Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, a Yash-led, reportedly ₹500-crore pan-India spectacle that opened to a thunderous ₹101 Cr net on Day 1 — one of the biggest openers of the year — before fading fast. On the other: Hanuman Ansh, a devotional drama made on a shoestring budget of under ₹2 crore, with an unknown cast and no marketing muscle, that opened to just ₹10 lakh and quietly built its way into a genuine phenomenon. Forty-five days on, Hanuman Ansh has done what looked improbable at release — it has pulled past Toxic's worldwide total, and it's still climbing. Worldwide gross can't be directly weighed against a film's budget to arrive at a loss figure. Gross collections are split between exhibitors, distributors and producers before anyone sees a return, and revenue from satellite, digital, music and other rights adds further to the picture — which is exactly why reported loss estimates for Toxic vary from outlet to outlet. Even accounting for that, most trade reports converge on a shortfall in the region of ₹300 crore — a number that, if accurate, would place Toxic among the biggest financial disasters in Indian cinema history. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Cumulative Numbers, Side By Side It's worth noting the two films aren't at the same point in their run — Hanuman Ansh is 45 days in, Toxic effectively wound down by Day 26 with only token shows since. Even so, laid out together, the gap in trajectory tells its own story. METRIC HANUMAN ANSH TOXIC India Net₹271.88 Cr₹249.91 Cr India Gross₹321.05 Cr₹298.24 Cr Overseas Gross₹26.00 Cr₹43.75 Cr Worldwide Gross₹347.05 Cr₹341.99 Cr Total Shows1,77,1211,62,873 Days In Run (as of comparison)4526 Reported Budget*~₹2 Cr~₹500 Cr *Budget figures are unofficial trade estimates report. Two Completely Opposite Opening Stories This is really where the two films' fates were written. Toxic opened across a massive 24,579 shows on Day 1 and collected ₹101.10 Cr net — a number most films never touch across their entire run. Hanuman Ansh, on the same kind of Day 1, opened on barely 25 screens and made roughly ₹10 lakh. Its entire first week added up to just ₹1.08 Cr — less than what Toxic made in its first twenty minutes of trade, by some estimates. But that's precisely where the stories inverted: Toxic's opening was also its peak, while Hanuman Ansh's opening was just the starting line. Week-Wise Net Collection Comparison (₹ Cr) 1.08 239.30 0.40 8.94 10.40 1.39 61.00 — 90.25 — 80.25 — 28.50* — Wk 1 Wk 2 Wk 3 Wk 4 Wk 5 Wk 6 Wk 7* Hanuman Ansh Toxic (no Week 7 data — run effectively ended by Week 4) *Hanuman Ansh's Week 7 figure is a partial 3-day count (Days 43–45), not a full week.

But the more telling number isn't the ₹5 Cr gap in their worldwide totals; it's what each film had to spend to get there. Toxic leaned on star power and scale to front-load its earnings, and when the writing and reviews didn't hold up its end, there was no word-of-mouth cushion to fall back on. Hanuman Ansh had no scale to lean on at all — just a story that resonated enough for audiences to carry it, week after week, on their own recommendation. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Frequently Asked Questions Has Hanuman Ansh surpassed Toxic at the box office? Yes. Hanuman Ansh has reached ₹347.05 Cr worldwide, ahead of Toxic's ₹341.99 Cr worldwide gross. How much did Hanuman Ansh collect worldwide? Hanuman Ansh has grossed ₹347.05 Cr worldwide, including ₹321.05 Cr from India and ₹26 Cr from overseas. How much did Toxic collect worldwide? Toxic has collected ₹341.99 Cr worldwide, including ₹298.24 Cr from India and ₹43.75 Cr from overseas. What is the budget of Hanuman Ansh? Hanuman Ansh was reportedly made on a budget of around ₹2 Cr, making its ₹347.05 Cr worldwide gross a significant multiple of its reported production cost. What is the budget of Toxic? Toxic was reportedly made on a budget of around ₹500 Cr, according to trade estimates cited in reports. The film collected ₹341.99 Cr worldwide.

Daayra vs Vibe Box Office Opening Weekend: Kunal Kemmu's Comedy Outpaces Kareena-Prithviraj's Thriller

Mumbai, September 21 — In a closely contested box office clash of contrasting genres, Bollywood's two major September 18 releases — director Meghna Gulzar's investigative procedural Daayra and Kunal Kemmu's action-comedy Vibe — have concluded their opening weekend runs. As per the estimates, Kunal Kemmu's Vibe held the commercial edge over Daayra amid the low-key three-day weekend. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Vibe Leads Mass Circuits Powered by the comedic chemistry between Kunal Kemmu and Sparsh Shrivastava alongside Preity Zinta's comeback charm, Vibe opened at 1.70 Crore on Friday, leapt by 61.8% on Saturday to 2.75 Crore, and added 3.00 Crore on Sunday, taking its 3-day India net collection to around 7.50 Crore (9 crore gross). The movie had competition not just from Daayra but also with the strong holdovers, Mirzapur The Movie and Hanuman Ansh, which continued to remain the top choice. Daayra Targets Urban Audiences Mounting an intricate, dialogue-driven courtroom mystery, Meghna Gulzar's Daayra had a modest start of 1.00 Crore on Friday. The opening was poor considering the scale and star cast, and even though it witnessed a strong jump of 75% on Saturday, the overall collection remained on the lower side, which continued on Sunday as well. The genre had its limitations; plus, it couldn't withstand strong competition at the Hindi box office. Both mid-budget titles now head into the crucial Monday test. While Vibe holds the advantage among the two films, it will be interesting to see if both movies can hold good enough to sustain through the week, as both the holdover movies are expected to remain the top choices due to strong public reception.

Hanuman Ansh 7th Weekend Box Office Surges 175% From Friday To Sunday And Scores Biggest 7th Weekend Beating Dhurandhar By Over 3X

It's rare for a film to still be finding new gears seven weeks into its theatrical run, but Hanuman Ansh keeps rewriting that rulebook. This is a film that opened to barely a whisper — under a crore in its first weekend — then somehow built, week after week, into one of the most talked-about theatrical stories of the year. That same pattern of quietly gathering steam showed up again this weekend: Friday looked like an ordinary hold, and then Saturday and Sunday exploded, pushing the film to its strongest three-day run since its record-breaking fifth week. By the close of Day 45, the film's India net stands at ₹271.88 Cr, India gross at ₹321.05 Cr, and the worldwide gross has pushed past ₹347.05 Cr — all this after 177,121 shows and counting. What's remarkable is how it got here: a slow-burn opening that would've spelled doom for most films instead turned into a seven-week climb that's still finding fresh legs on a Sunday. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) From ₹5 Crore To ₹13.75 Crore In 48 Hours Day 43 (Friday) opened on a fairly ordinary note, with the film adding ₹5.00 Cr net — a 20% dip from the previous Thursday. That's usually where a seventh-weekend story would flatten out. Instead, Saturday flipped the script entirely: collections jumped a massive 95% to ₹9.75 Cr, and Sunday kept the party going with a further 41% rise to ₹13.75 Cr. Put together, that's a Friday-to-Sunday jump of nearly 175% — a surge almost unheard of for a film sitting in its seventh week of release.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Weekend-by-Weekend: How The Film Built To This Point What makes this 7th weekend even more striking is the shape of the journey behind it. Hanuman Ansh opened to a near-invisible ₹0.60 Cr in its first weekend and barely moved in its second, at ₹0.20 Cr. The turnaround began in week three. Against that backdrop, the ₹28.50 Cr collected this weekend isn't a decline so much as a natural cooling after two back-to-back blockbuster weekends.

Even so, the film added ₹4.25 Cr overseas over Days 43–45, taking its total overseas gross to ₹26.00 Cr. Ticket Sales: BookMyShow Still Leads, But The Multiplex Chains Are Catching Up On BookMyShow alone, the film sold roughly 1.37 lakh tickets on Friday, 2.49 lakh on Saturday, and 2.39 lakh on Sunday — a weekend haul of close to 6.26 lakh tickets on that platform, taking its cumulative BookMyShow sales past 67.17 lakh tickets since release. The national chains weren't far behind either: PVR, INOX and Cinepolis together sold close to 4.96 lakh tickets over the weekend for a combined gross of roughly over ₹15 Cr, led by PVR (₹7.60 Cr), followed by INOX (₹5.50 Cr) and Cinepolis (₹2.67 Cr) — a sign that a good chunk of the demand this weekend came from multiplex-heavy urban centres rather than single screens. 7th Weekend Ticket Sales — BookMyShow vs PVR + INOX + Cinepolis 6.26L 4.96L BookMyShow PVR+INOX+Cinepolis FAQs Q1.
