Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge Euphoria To Hit Bhooth Bangla as Jio Studios' Demands 6 Weeks of Exclusive Release In Single Screens?

Mumbai, March 11 - The buzz around Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge continues to grow stronger with every passing day, and the film is already creating waves in the exhibition sector ahead of its grand release on March 19. The sequel remains the hottest film at the moment in Indian cinema due to its massive box office potential. According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, producer Jio Studios has reportedly demanded an exclusive six-week run in single-screen theatres for the action sequel starring Ranveer Singh. It is said that the studio has asked single-screen exhibitors to dedicate all shows to Dhurandhar 2 for six weeks without sharing screens with any other film. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Such a demand is considered highly unusual in the theatrical business, where distributors typically ask for exclusive showcasing for one to three weeks. Additionally, Jio Studios has also asked exhibitors to provide two additional weeks of exclusive showcasing for its upcoming historical film, Raja Shivaji, which releases 6 weeks after Dhurandhar: The Revenge. If implemented, this move could significantly limit screen availability for other releases scheduled during the same period. One of the films that could be impacted is Bhooth Bangla, the much-anticipated horror-comedy starring Akshay Kumar and directed by Priyadarshan. The film is slated to hit theatres on April 10, three weeks after Dhurandhar 2. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Exhibitors fear they may struggle to allot shows if the six-week exclusivity clause is accepted across single-screen circuits. With Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge already generating massive hype and Bhooth Bangla being another big film, the coming weeks could see intense negotiations between distributors and exhibitors. Whether theatres agree to the six-week exclusivity or push back against the demand remains to be seen. Stay tuned...

Rani Mukerji's crime thriller Mardaani 3 has successfully completed its third week at the box office, establishing a new global benchmark for the franchise. Live tracking for Day 21 (Thursday) shows the film adding ₹0.24 crore to its domestic total, bringing the cumulative India net collection to ₹46.09 crore. Despite the influx of new releases, the film has maintained a steady trajectory, leveraging the brand loyalty established by its predecessors to secure consistent footfalls in urban centers. The third installment has officially emerged as the highest worldwide grosser in the Mardaani series. With a current global total of ₹68 crore, the film has surpassed the lifetime worldwide collections of the original Mardaani (₹59.30 crore) and its 2019 sequel, Mardaani 2 (₹67 crore). This milestone reflects a significant expansion in the franchise's international footprint, as evidenced by its overseas collection currently standing at ₹13.85 crore. On the domestic front, Mardaani 3 is now within striking distance of the lifetime India net total of Mardaani 2, which concluded its run at ₹47.35 crore. Having reached ₹46.09 crore by the end of its third week, the film requires less than ₹1.30 crore to become the top-performing domestic entry in the series as well. The India gross collection currently stands at ₹54.15 crore, mirroring the profitable trend seen in previous chapters. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   As the film enters its fourth week, the focus shifts to whether it can maintain enough momentum to clear the ₹50 crore net mark domestically. Given the moderate production costs associated with the franchise and its established status as a consistent performer, the current numbers indicate another commercially successful outing for the series. The film's ability to outperform the global totals of both previous installments underscores the enduring relevance of the Shivani Shivaji Roy character in the competitive police-procedural genre.

Mardaani 3 Week 2 Box Office Collection: Rani Mukerji Starrer Surpasses Mardaani Lifetime Worldwide Total

Rani Mukerji's gritty cop franchise, Mardaani 3, has officially completed its two-week theatrical run, showing consistent holding power at the domestic box office. The film, which features the return of the formidable Shivani Shivaji Roy, has achieved a significant milestone by surpassing the lifetime worldwide collection of the original 2014 film. Despite the arrival of new competition, the film's steady footfalls in urban centers have ensured a healthy trend throughout its second week. The second-week performance of Mardaani 3 has proven to be superior to the franchise's first installment. While Mardaani 2 collected ₹12.15 Crore in its second week, the third part has managed to mint approximately ₹14.6 Crore during the same period. This was aided by a stable Thursday (Day 14) collection of ₹1.1 Crore, bringing the total 14-day India Net collection to an estimated ₹40.9 Crore. The film's steady theatrical hold is further reflected in its digital ticket sales. On the major ticketing platform BookMyShow, Mardaani 3 continues to see consistent traction, selling over 17,020 tickets in the last 24 hours alone. This takes the film's total ticket sales on the platform to an impressive 7.86 Lakh (786.12K). Maintaining such a high daily booking rate as it concludes its second week indicates a strong word-of-mouth factor, particularly with family and female audiences who are driving the film's urban occupancy. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   In terms of global reach, Mardaani 3 has now overtaken its predecessor's lifetime footprint. The first Mardaani concluded its global run with a gross of ₹59.30 Crore. As of Day 14, Mardaani 3 has reached a worldwide gross total of ₹61.2 Crore (comprising ₹48.2 Cr India Gross and ₹13 Cr Overseas). With this, the film has officially emerged as a bigger global success than the first film in the series. The focus now shifts to whether the film can challenge the lifetime records set by Mardaani 2 (2019), which remains the highest-grossing entry in the franchise with a worldwide total of ₹67 Crore. However, with the arrival of new releases like O Romeo and Tu Yaa Main this weekend, Mardaani 3 will now have to navigate significant screen sharing across the country. It remains a wait and watch situation to see if the Rani Mukerji-starrer can maintain its steady momentum and bridge the gap to become the new franchise leader amidst this fresh competition.

Mardaani 3 Box Office Collection Day 10: Rani Mukerji Starrer Shows Massive 89% Jump on Second Saturday

Rani Mukerji's gritty crime thriller Mardaani 3 has shown remarkable resilience at the box office, witnessing a significant surge in collections during its second weekend. After a steady opening week, the film benefited from strong word-of-mouth and the established popularity of the franchise to post impressive numbers on its second Saturday and Sunday. The film concluded its first week with a collection of ₹26.3 Cr India net. Entering its second week, the film saw a typical Friday dip, earning ₹1.85 Cr on Day 8. However, the momentum shifted dramatically on Day 9 (second Saturday) as the film recorded a massive growth of 89.19%, bringing in ₹3.5 Cr. The upward trend continued into Day 10 (second Sunday), with the film collecting an estimated ₹4.25 Cr, a further jump of 21.43% from Saturday. This strong weekend performance indicates that the audience is embracing Rani Mukerji's return as the fierce Shivani Shivaji Roy, particularly in urban centers and multiplexes. As of the end of its second weekend, the 10-day India net total for Mardaani 3 stands at an estimated ₹35.9 Cr. With no major competition in its genre, the film is expected to maintain a steady hold over the coming weekdays, trending toward a successful lifetime run. This second weekend performance highlights a significant growth in the franchise's box office pull compared to its predecessor. While Mardaani 2 collected ₹1.15 Cr on its eighth day (second Friday) and ₹1.95 Cr on its ninth day (second Saturday), Mardaani 3 has operated at a much higher level. By earning ₹1.85 Cr and ₹3.5 Cr on the corresponding days, the third installment has not only outpaced the previous film's daily totals but also recorded a much larger jump, nearly doubling the second Saturday figures of the 2019 sequel. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   With its current trajectory, all eyes are now on whether Mardaani 3 can eventually overtake the lifetime benchmarks set by its predecessor. Mardaani 2 ended its theatrical run as a certified Hit, finishing with a lifetime India net of ₹47.35 Cr, a domestic gross of ₹57 Cr, and a global total of ₹67 Cr (including ₹10 Cr from overseas). Given that the third installment has already reached an estimated ₹35.9 Cr India net within just 10 days—and is showing superior weekend growth compared to the previous film—it is well-positioned to challenge, and potentially surpass, the lifetime collections of the 2019 sequel.
