Mumbai, January 12 - Yash Raj Films has unveiled the trailer of Rani Mukerji-fronted Mardaani 3, and it looks like another winner from the successful franchise. The actress, who completes 30 years in cinema, returns to play the character of a daredevil cop Shivani Shivaji Roy in this dark, deadly and brutal tale. Mardaani 3 presents a bloody and violent face-off between good and evil, as Shivani embarks on an extraordinary race against time to rescue missing girls across the country. The trailer is intense and once again promises an uncompromising take on the issue, where 93 girls go missing in 3 months, as Shivani faces off against Amma, played by Mallika Prasad. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Directed by Abhiraj Minawala and produced by Aditya Chopra, Mardaani 3 is scheduled to release on January 30, 2026, after it was preponed from February 27. The movie also stars Janki Bodiwala in a key role alongside the lead cast. Mardaani is the biggest solo female-led franchise in Hindi cinema that has garnered love and acclaim for over 10 years now. While Mardaani (first film) tackled the grim realities of human trafficking, Mardaani 2 explored the chilling mind of a psychotic serial rapist who dared to challenge the system. Stay tuned...

Dhurandhar Box Office: Ranveer Singh-Starrer Outnumbers RRR and KGF 2 To Become 4th Highest-Grossing Indian Film Worldwide

Mumbai, January 10 - Director Aditya Dhar's spy action thriller Dhurandhar continues its historic box office run, rewriting the all-time Indian cinema record books globally. The movie has been shattering records after records, and the latest films to become its victim are SS Rajamouli's RRR and Prashanth Neel's KGF: Chapter 2. The Ranveer Singh-fronted blockbuster has become the 4th highest-grossing Indian film of all-time at the worldwide box office, after outgrossing RRR (1230 crore) and KGF: Chapter 2 (1215 crores) over the last couple of days. In 36 days so far, Dhuradhar has grossed around 1240 crores worldwide, including over 950 crores gross in India alone. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film's success is particularly significant as it marks a rare instance of a single-language Indian film surpassing massive multi-language and pan-India spectacles in worldwide earnings. Its long theatrical legs, repeat audience turnout, and strong word-of-mouth are the reasons for its unprecedented performance weeks after release. With this milestone, Dhurandhar now finds itself just behind the top three highest-grossing Indian films of all time. Even though it is still performing very well, Dhurandhar will finish its box office run between 1300-1350 crores gross at the 4th highest-grossing Indian title, behind Pushpa 2's 1740+ crores worldwide cume.

Mardaani 3 Release Date: Rani Mukerji's Cop Actioner Sets Early Release

Mumbai, January 10 - Yash Raj Films' much-awaited cop action thriller Mardaani 3 release date has been moved up by nearly a month. The Rani Mukerji-led film, the third instalment of the successful cop franchise, will now hit the big screens on January 30, 2026, instead of its originally scheduled late-February release. Rani Mukerji returns once again as the fearless and uncompromising Shivani Shivaji Roy, a character that has become one of the most iconic female cops in Indian cinema. The makers recently unveiled the first look, as well as the latest poster, hinting at a darker and more intense chapter in the Mardaani universe. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to YRF, Mardaani 3 will present a bloody and violent face-off between good and evil, as Shivani embarks on an extraordinary race against time to rescue missing girls across the country. The newly released poster underscores this urgency, visually hinting at a high-stakes hunt where every second counts and the consequences of failure are devastating. The decision to advance the release date is surprising, given that a week before, there was Border 2 scheduled on January 23. The Mardaani franchise, however, has consistently performed well at the box office, and the makers are hoping the upcoming film continues the winning streak. Backed by Yash Raj Films, Mardaani 3 is directed by Abhiraj Minawala, and the film promises high-octane action, emotional depth, and a gripping narrative, staying true to the tone that made the first two films critical and commercial successes.

Such a massive fifth-week total underlines the film's extraordinary hold at the ticket windows. With this sensational run, the Aditya Dhar directorial has now crossed the 790 crore net mark at the Indian box office. Despite entering its sixth week, the film has shown no signs of slowing down, driven by strong word of mouth, repeat audiences, and consistent footfalls across multiplexes and mass belts alike. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Dhurandhar will breach the 800 crore net milestone by the sixth Saturday, a feat achieved by only Pushpa 2: The Rule, starring Allu Arjun.

Akshay Kumar's Bhooth Bangla Officially Postponed; Makers Confirm New Release Date

Mumbai, January 7 - Akshay Kumar's much-anticipated horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla has been officially postponed, with the makers now locking a new theatrical release date of May 15, 2026. The movie was earlier scheduled to hit the big screens on April 2nd. While the reason behind the postponement is not revealed officially, it is said that in anticipation of the Dhurandhar 2 wave, the makers have decided to push the release date back to avoid coming in the way of Ranveer Singh-starrer, which is slated to release on March 19. Also, there are reports that Bhooth Bangla needs more time for post-production work, especially VFX. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Directed by Priyadarshan, Bhooth Bangla marks his reunion with Akshay Kumar after several years, raising expectations among fans of their earlier collaborations. The poster showcases Akshay in a traditional avatar, holding a lantern inside a haunted mansion setup, strongly hinting at a blend of desi horror elements and slapstick comedy, a genre Priyadarshan is known to excel in. The film is produced by Balaji Telefilms Ltd in association with Cape of Good Films, with Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R. Kapoor, and Akshay Kumar backing the project. The scale and visual tone suggest a big-budget entertainer aimed at family audiences.

The Raja Saab Box Office Preview (Hindi): Prabhas-Starrer Heads For A Slow Start

Mumbai, January 7 - Ever since the release of Baahubali: The Beginning (2015), Pan-India superstar Prabhas has enjoyed back-to-back multiple successes in Hindi, barring romantic drama Radhe Shyam (2022), which couldn't ignite fire due to various challenges at the time of its release. Upon the goodwill created by Baahubali, Prabhas has consistently (apart from Radhe Shyam) delivered double-digit openings, starting with Baahubali: The Conclusion (2017). The actor's popularity continues to soar outside his core Telugu fanbase, which has made him one of the most bankable stars in the country. While the expectations from his movies always remain high, things might not be the same as before regarding his upcoming film The Raja Saab, which releases on January 9. The romantic horror comedy, which started as a small film between the actor's big-budget tentpoles, has significantly increased in terms of scale and budget, and despite that, it has failed to generate hype in the Hindi market. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The horror comedy genre has its audience, but the makers have been reluctant when it comes to promoting the film in the Hindi market. There is, of course, some buzz on social media, but due to the lack of promotional material, the ground-level hype among the general audience seems to be missing. While the clear idea regarding the buzz will be known once the bookings start, the current prospects aren't that bright and hint at a single-digit start in Hindi. The trade, at the moment, is projecting 5-7 crores net opening, which may vary depending on the booking sales and word of mouth. Also, the holdover film, Dhurandhar, will pose a big challenge for The Raja Saab, as the Ranveer Singh-starrer continues to draw footfalls despite being a month-old title. There will, however, be a Sankranthi holiday advantage for The Raja Saab. Depending on word of mouth, the Maruthi directorial will have the opportunity to make up if the opening remains on the slower side. However, if the movie manages to score better than current projections, it will surely enjoy a good run, as there is no new big Hindi release till Border 2, on January 23. Stay tuned...

Tiger Shroff Confirms His Rambo Is Back On Track After Years Of Uncertainty

Mumbai, January 6 - Months after Rambo was reportedly shelved, Tiger Shroff has finally put an end to speculation surrounding his much-anticipated action project. The actor has confirmed that the film is now back on track after years of uncertainty and being reworked on a much bigger scale. The Hindi adaptation of Rambo was officially announced in 2018, with Tiger Shroff headlining the film. It was pitched as a high-octane action spectacle inspired by the iconic Hollywood franchise led by Sylvester Stallone. Given Tiger's reputation for intense action, combat skills, and physical transformation, the announcement generated massive buzz at the time. Back then, the makers promised a gritty, large-scale action film that would present Tiger in one of his most physically demanding roles. However, after the initial announcement and early pre-production talks, updates on the project slowly began to dry up. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Over the years, Rambo quietly slipped into limbo. Industry reports suggested that the film faced multiple roadblocks, including creative restructuring, budget concerns, and changing market dynamics. To proceed with the project became difficult as many of Tiger Shroff's big-budget action films failed at the box office, leading producers to rethink. By 2023–2024, reports emerged claiming that Rambo had been shelved, with some reports suggesting the makers were unsure about reviving the project in its original form due to Tiger Shroff's declining box office pull in action space. The absence of official updates further fueled speculation that the film had been dropped altogether. Putting all rumours to rest, Tiger Shroff has now confirmed to an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that Rambo is very much alive. The actor revealed that the project had been stuck for nearly six years due to various reasons, but has finally found its way back into active development. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The actor reveals that this time, Rambo will not be a straightforward remake. Instead, the film is being reinvented, with a fresh approach that reflects his growth as an actor and action performer. He also hinted at a completely new look and a more evolved version of the character, suggesting that audiences can expect something significantly different from what was initially planned. However, the actors didn't reveal if it would be produced by Siddharth Anand and director Rohit Dhawan. More details are expected once Tiger completes his current assingments. Stay tuned...

Dhurandhar Box Office: Ranveer Singh-starrer Smashes More Records In 5th Weekend

Mumbai, January 5 - Ranveer Singh's spy action thriller Dhurandhar is showing no sign of slowing down as it continues its historic box office run, smashing yet another major record in its fifth weekend and inching closer to rewriting the all-time Hindi cinema record books. The Aditya Dhar's directorial collected a phenomenal 33.25 crore net in its 5th weekend, making it not just the biggest 5th-weekend grosser in the history of Hindi cinema but also the biggest 5th week, after it crossed the entire 5th week total of Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava, which minted 30 crores net earlier last year. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) No Hindi film before Dhurandhar has managed to pull such massive numbers so deep into its theatrical run. With this, Dhurandhar's total net collection has surged past 772 crore in just 31 days. The Ranveer Singh-led blockbuster is now only around 40 crore away from Pushpa 2, which currently holds the record for being the biggest Hindi net grosser of all time. What makes this achievement even more remarkable is the consistency of the film's run. Even in its fifth week, Dhurandhar is registering numbers that many big releases struggle to achieve during their opening weekends. Strong word of mouth, repeat audiences, and sustained footfalls across multiplexes and single screens have ensured minimal drop on weekdays and explosive growth over weekends. With no major Hindi releases posing a serious threat in the immediate days ahead, Dhurandhar is well-positioned to overtake Pushpa 2 and claim the all-time Hindi net box office crown in the coming weeks. As it stands, Dhurandhar is not just a blockbuster but a once-in-a-generation box office phenomenon, redefining longevity and setting new benchmarks. Stay tuned...

Bhooth Bangla Release Date: Akshay Kumar's Horror Comedy To Be Postponed?

Mumbai, January 3 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar's much-awaited horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla is reportedly heading for a possible release date change. The film, which marks the actor's reunion with veteran director Priyadarshan, was earlier announced to hit theatres on April 2, 2026. However, fresh industry buzz suggests that the makers might be reconsidering this date. According to the reports, Bhooth Bangla is likely to be postponed to avoid a major box office clash. The film's current release window places it dangerously close to Dhurandhar 2, a sequel that is expected to dominate screens and audience attention during the same period. Given the scale and hype surrounding Dhurandhar 2, the makers of Bhooth Bangla said to have decided to postpone the release. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Reports indicate that the postponement, if it happens, could be by a month or two, allowing Bhooth Bangla to enjoy a clearer run at the box office. The decision is reportedly driven purely by business strategy, as the producers want to maximise theatrical footfalls and avoid getting overshadowed by a big-ticket release. The official announcement regarding the postponment is yet be made. As of now, Bhooth Bangla is still officially scheduled for an April 2, 2026, release, but the postponement is imminent, and the announcement is expected to be made soon. Bhooth Bangla has already generated strong curiosity among fans, especially due to Akshay Kumar's return to the horror-comedy genre under Priyadarshan's direction. Stay tuned...
