The makers of Ramayana, one of the most eagerly awaited films of 2026, have achieved another major promotional milestone ahead of its grand theatrical launch. A new promotional asset titled Rama — a fresh cinematic glimpse from the epic retelling — has secured a U certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), clearing it for audiences of all ages. According to the CBFC certification, the Rama asset has a runtime of 158 seconds, or 2 minutes and 38 seconds, offering a glimpse of the characters and visual tone of the film ahead of its official release. The certification was granted on March 30, 2026, and the makers have scheduled the official unveiling of the asset on Thursday, April 2, to coincide with Hanuman Jayanti, a culturally significant occasion associated with the epic's narrative. In a recent international promotional move, Ranbir Kapoor, director Nitesh Tiwari, and producer Namit Malhotra were spotted at a special IMAX screening event in Los Angeles, California, where they showcased early visuals from Ramayana to a select audience ahead of the global release of the teaser. The screening generated enthusiastic reactions and offered glimpses of the film's scale and immersive presentation well before the official April 2 launch. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The Rama glimpse is expected to introduce key characters of the film, including Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, and Ravi Dubey as Lakshman. Sources close to the project suggest that the asset emphasizes character presence and emotional depth rather than large-scale action sequences. Ramayana, directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra, has been building anticipation since the release of its introductory video on July 3, 2025, more than a year before the film's scheduled release. The music is composed by A.R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer. The film is a two-part adaptation of the ancient Indian epic, with the first part set to release on Diwali 2026 and the second part on Diwali 2027, marking it as one of the most ambitious ventures in contemporary Bollywood cinema. Releasing the Rama asset on Hanuman Jayanti adds cultural resonance to the marketing strategy, linking the teaser to themes of devotion and heroism. With audiences already highly engaged with the film's promotional content, the April 2 release of the glimpse is expected to generate significant buzz across social media and fan communities, further amplifying anticipation for Ramayana's theatrical journey.

Mumbai, March 30 - The Indian box office has witnessed a massive milestone in recent years with films crossing the coveted 1000 crore mark. Now, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has entered this elite club, cementing its place among the biggest blockbusters in Indian cinema history. The Ranveer Singh-starrer, which has been on a record-breaking spree since its release, has shown phenomenal consistency across domestic and international markets. With strong word-of-mouth and repeat value, Dhurandhar 2 has comfortably crossed the 1000 crore gross mark in just 11 days, becoming the joint fastest film to achieve this feat. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) This feat places Dhurandhar 2 alongside a very select group of films that have achieved this milestone purely at the Indian box office. The elite list includes Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, KGF: Chapter 2, Pushpa 2: The Rule, and the first Dhurandhar, which was released just 4 months ago. Dhurandhar is the only Indian film series to have two films with 1000+ crores gross each, both in India and worldwide. Director SS Rajamouli's Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, released in 2017, was the first film to redefine domestic box office potential, setting an unprecedented benchmark. Years later, KGF: Chapter 2 and Pushpa 2: The Rule continued the trend, proving that large-scale action entertainers with strong storytelling can dominate the Indian market like never before.

Mumbai, March 23 - If day 3 was a tsunami, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge brought mayhem on day 4 with another record-breaking collection. The spy action thriller hit the ball out of the park to deliver back-to-back 100 crore net in Hindi. It was like, the first time was nice, so I had to do it twice, kind of thing, as the movie is now in the league of its own. In comparison to the biggest grossers after 4 days, Dhurandhar 2 is the second, only to Pushpa 2, which benefited from the massive Pan India release. However, in the long run, Aditya Dhar's directed film is expected to beat Pushpa 2 and become the number 1 film at the Indian box office.

The Aditya Dhar-directed spy actioner had a monumental day 3 at the Indian box office, which saw the Hindi version topping 100+ crore net for the first time. It is now only behind Pushpa 2, which had a wider pan-India release, after the first three days at the domestic box office.

From Baahubali: The Beginning to Dhurandhar 2, filmmakers have successfully expanded their cinematic universes, often turning second instalments into historic box office juggernauts. Here's a look at how Part 2 of some of the biggest Indian blockbusters - Dhurandhar, Pushpa, KGF, and Baahubali - compare with their first parts. Baahubali: The Franchise That Started It All Baahubali: The Beginning was a massive success, but it was Baahubali 2: The Conclusion that rewrote Indian box office history. At a time when ticket prices were comparatively lower than today, Baahubali 2 was a phenomenon beyond boundaries. While it is difficult for most of the movies to generate 10 million admissions in their lifetime runs, Baahubali 2 scored 1+ crore admissions in India on day 1 alone, which still seems out of the world in a country where theatre screens are still insufficient when compared to the large cinema-going audience. While the first film laid the foundation with its grand storytelling and visual spectacle, the sequel capitalised on the iconic question, "Why did Kattappa kill Baahubali?" The result was unprecedented hype, leading to a record-breaking theatrical run that far surpassed the original in every market. It remains the biggest Indian blockbuster of the 21st century with over 100 million tickets sold here. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Baahubali Films India Gross (Lifetime) S.

Mumbai, March 5 - Bollywood superstar Ranbir Kapoor has reportedly resumed shooting for Ramayana: Part 2 after the filming schedule of Love & War was postponed. The schedule reshuffle has allowed Kapoor to return to the sets of the ambitious epic directed by Nitesh Tiwari.

The makers of Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups have officially moved the film's release from March 19 to June 4, 2026. The decision to vacate the lucrative Eid weekend window is primarily driven by the ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East—a territory that has evolved into a cornerstone for the commercial success of Pan-India superstars, particularly Yash. The postponement highlights the immense weight the Gulf region carries for high-budget South Indian productions. With an Indian diaspora of approximately 10 million residing in the Gulf nations, the territory is no longer just an additional market but a primary revenue generator. For Yash, the stakes are exceptionally high; his previous blockbuster, KGF: Chapter 2, delivered extraordinary numbers in the Middle East, setting a benchmark that the makers of Toxic are determined to protect. Trade analysts suggest that the decision was based on direct feedback from international distributors. In the current climate of conflict, movie-going is often de-prioritized, and even upon the cessation of hostilities, theatrical footfalls typically require weeks to stabilize. For a film of Toxic's scale, which relies heavily on premium formats like Dolby Cinema, releasing during a period of instability would mean risking a significant percentage of its overseas recovery. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   Industry experts point out that while Bollywood-centric films like Dhurandhar 2 might proceed with their March schedules due to different market dependencies, South Indian biggies are more vulnerable to Gulf disruptions. This postponement is expected to create a domino effect in the industry. The move to June 4 presents a logistical challenge for the production house, KVN Productions. Postponing a global release involving simultaneous prints in Kannada, English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam involves massive coordination. Furthermore, exhibitors are likely to feel the immediate impact, losing out on the high-occupancy Eid weekend and the high-margin revenues associated with premium large-format screenings. Directed by Geetu Mohandas, Toxic is being positioned as a global product, shot simultaneously in Kannada and English. By shifting to June, the makers are banking on a more stable international environment to ensure that the massive KGF fanbase in the Middle East can contribute to what is expected to be a record-breaking opening.

The theatrical calendar for June 2026 has been finalised with the official rescheduling of Yash's Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups to June 4. This update places the film in a back-to-back release schedule with Varun Dhawan's Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, which is currently set to arrive in cinemas on June 5. A report by Bollywood Hungama said that Varun Dhawan's team was jolted and caught unawares by the announcement. KVN Productions has stepped forward to clarify the timeline of events. Amidst reports of a potential communication breakdown, a spokesperson for KVN Productions stated that the decision was handled with professional transparency. The studio confirmed that when the owner of KVN, Mr Venkat, realised the dates were overlapping, he personally reached out to the maker of Varun's film, Mr Ramesh Taurani, to avoid any unnecessary friction. Distributor Anil Thadani reportedly facilitated the conversation, as the Toxic makers were clear that they did not want the other project to face the kind of uncertainty their own film had earlier encountered when Dhurandhar: The Revenge announced a release on their original March 19 slot. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   According to the official clarification, these discussions took place well before the public announcement of the new release date. This ensured that both production teams were fully aware that a box-office clash was on the horizon for the first weekend of June. The spokesperson emphasised that the entire process was handled transparently and cordially, refuting claims that the Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai team was blindsided. The shift to June 4 was strategically suggested by Anil Thadani to capitalise on the post-IPL window and a period where global market conditions are expected to be more stable. With the communication cleared between both camps, the focus now moves to the theatrical distribution and screen-sharing arrangements for that weekend. As it stands, June 4 and June 5 will mark a major head-to-head battle between two high-profile projects, but with both production houses now officially on the same page.
