Breaking Buzz: Shah Rukh Khan's King and Ranbir Kapoor's Love and War To Be Split Into Two Parts?

Mumbai, January 2 - The mega success of Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar may have a lot more to say than just its box office numbers, as the latest report suggests a massive change in the industry regarding two of the most-awaited films, which are reportedly going Dhurandhar way. Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar has proved to be a game-changer with over 1100 crores worldwide (so far), and its second part, which is scheduled to release on March 19, 2026, is easily one of the most hyped films in Indian cinema. Following this monstrous success, the buzz is that Shah Rukh Khan's King, along with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love & War, might also go the same way. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to the report by Bollywood Hungama, there are very high-level discussions in Shah Rukh Khan and Sanjay Leela Bhansali's camp around the release of King and Love and War. It is said that both films are big-budget spectacles and have gone beyond what was on paper when it comes to the cost of production. The report suggests that both SRK and Bhansali are individually contemplating splitting their epics into two parts and releasing them in a gap of less than 6 months. While Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal-fronted film could arrive in August 2026 and January 2027, King is reportedly contemplating September 2026 and March 2027. While the idea is in preliminary discussions, it will only happen if both films have enough footage to be able to release in two parts, just like Dhurandhar. The final decision regarding this will be taken on the editing table, once the shoot is done. Stay tuned...

Dhurandhar Becomes All-Time Number 1 Bollywood Film On BookMyShow

Mumbai, January 2 - Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar has become the highest Bollywood ticket seller on BookMyShow, after beating Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava. The spy actioner continues to rewrite history at the box office and is breaking records with each passing day. Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar has sold 13+ million tickets so far on BMS, beating Chhaava, which sold 12.50+ million tickets on the platform, followed by Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan (12.40+ million) and Maddock's horror comedy Stree 2 (11.15+ million). (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The biggest movie on BookMyShow is Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2: The Rule, with nearly 20 million tickets, followed by Kantara Chapter and Dhurandhar. The Ranveer Singh-starrer has still enough legs left to outnumber the Rishab Shetty-starrer to emerge as the number 2 film on the platform.

Dhurandhar Box Office: Ranveer Singh-starrer Beats Jawan To Become Highest-Grossing Bollywood Movie Without China

Mumbai, January 2 - Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar has rewritten Bollywood box office history by achieving a landmark feat. The Aditya Dhar directorial has surpassed Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan to become the highest-grossing Bollywood film globally without any contribution from the Chinese market. Jawan, released in 2023, had concluded its worldwide theatrical run at around 1,160 crore, emerging as the biggest Bollywood grosser at the time. Dhurandhar has now gone past that figure at a much faster pace in just 29 days, setting a new benchmark for Hindi cinema. The spy action thriller has grossed nearly 900 crores at the domestic box office, while its overseas performance is no less than miraculous, with over 265 crores in 29 days so far. This historical achievement makes Dhurandhar the biggest Bollywood blockbuster to-date, as said, without China. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) When it comes to overall numbers, Aamir Khan's Dangal is the biggest Bollywood as well as Indian grosser to date with 2070 crores worldwide gross. However, the film made over 1300 crores gross at the Chinese box office, which is not a regular market for Indian films. Only a very small number of Indian titles have ever managed to release there, so it is not a fair comparison. Dhurandhar has achieved its massive worldwide number without China, relying entirely on audience support from India and established international territories such as North America, Australia, and Europe. In fact, Dhurandhar wasn't even released in the Middle East due to its subject, which has reportedly led to nearly 100 crores in revenue loss to the makers. As Dhurandhar continues its theatrical run, the film's total is expected to climb even higher, further strengthening its position not just in Bollywood but also in Indian cinema's all-time box office rankings, and cementing its legacy as one of its kind global phenomena.

Ikkis Box Office Day 1 Early Estimates: Maddock Films' War Biopic Takes A Good Opening

Mumbai, January 1 - The Bollywood industry might be in for a pleasant surprise to begin 2026 as Maddock Films' war biopic drama Ikkis, which happens to be legendary late Dharmendra's last film, has taken a good start at the domestic box office, exceeding expectations. New Year's Day, being a holiday, has always drawn footfalls, and Ikkis has taken the full advantage of it despite Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar continuing to dominate the box office. Starring Agastya Nanda in the title role, the film has scored an estimated 6.75-7.25 crores net on its opening day, which is better than what pre-sales suggested. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Ikkis expectedly had mid-pre-sales, which suggested 4-5 crores net start, but the holiday advantage and early positive reception have propelled the opening to much higher numbers. The opening of the film is actually better than Kartik Aaryan's Christmas release, Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, which is a very good sign. Directed by Sriram Raghavan, Ikkis was originally scheduled to release on December 25, but was postponed to give it a genuine chance to perform amid the Dhurandhar wave. The decision to postpone the film seems to have paid off, and it is now all about building on the momentum. Stay tuned...
