Ahaan Pandey, Aneet Padda's Saiyaara Becomes The Second Indian Film of 2025 To Top 500 Crore Worldwide, After Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava

Mumbai, August 6 - Yash Raj Films' romantic drama Saiyaara has officially crossed 500 crores gross collection at the worldwide box office, becoming only the second Indian film of the year to do so, after Vicky Kaushal's historical action drama Chhaava. ## Directed by Mohit Suri, the film surpassed the milestone of 500 crores gross on its 19th day, becoming one of the fastest Indian titles to do so. The movie has been a sensational blockbuster, both domestically and overseas, leaving other newcomer films and romantic dramas far behind. ## In India, the Ahaan Pandey and Aneet Padda-starrer has grossed approximately 366 crores (304.60 crores net), while overseas collection is a remarkable 134 crores. The performance of Saiyaara in the international markets is among the all-time greatest and arguably the greatest for a newcomer-led Indian title. ## Saiyaara is still earning higher collections than its opening day at the international box office, and puts it on course to finish around 160 crores or more. It is sure to become the biggest Indian overseas grosser of the year (as of now), but how far it can go remains to be seen. ## It is the 16th Bollywood film and the 26th Indian title of all-time to cross 500 crores worldwide. For Yash Raj Films, this is its 5th movie in the 500 crores club, after Dhoom 3, Tiger Zinda Hai, Sultan, and Pathaan. ## Stay tuned...

Coolie Vs War 2: Rajinikanth-starrer To Dominate Overseas Box Office Against Hrithik Roshan, Jr. NTR's Spy Actioner

Mumbai, August 6 - The stage is set for one of the biggest box office clashes of the year as superstar Rajinikanth's gangster action drama Coolie gears up to take on Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR's spy action thriller War 2 this Independence Day weekend. Both movies are scheduled to hit the big screen on August 14 in multiple languages. ## While both films are carrying tremendous buzz and fanfare, early trends suggest that the Lokesh Kanagaraj's directorial Kollywood blockbuster is poised to dominate the overseas box office, outpacing its Bollywood competitor in pre-sales and audience anticipation across major international territories. ## According to early tracking data, Coolie has taken a solid lead in North America, where advance bookings have already crossed the $1 million mark ($1.25 million with 7 days to go), with significant momentum in Gulf countries, Malaysia, Singapore, and the UK, where it has already sold over 20K tickets, as well. Overall, pre-sales of Coolie have crossed $2 million overseas. ## The film marks director Lokesh Kanagaraj’s biggest release yet and showcases Rajinikanth in a vintage mass role that seems to have struck a chord with the global Tamil diaspora and general South Indian audience abroad. Meanwhile, War 2 is also showing healthy signs in international markets, but at a comparatively slower pace. ## For the North America premiere, the pre-sales are nearing $300K, as the momentum is expected to pick up as the release nears. Other territories are also showing a decent pace. War 2's appeal is strong, especially in Hindi-speaking territories and Telugu belts, due to star power and the franchise value, but Coolie's mass appeal and the Lokesh-Rajinikanth combo seem to be translating better into overseas footfalls. ## Industry insiders believe that Coolie could emerge as one of the highest-grossing Tamil films overseas, especially if the early reviews and word-of-mouth remain positive. With a superstar, a hit director, and a solid supporting cast, Coolie has all the ingredients to lead the charge internationally, while War 2 may find its strength more dominantly in the domestic Hindi and Telugu markets. ## Stay tuned...

Hrithik Roshan, Jr. NTR’s War 2 Joins Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan and Jawan, Among Others in BookMyShow's 500K Interest Club; Becomes 7th Bollywood Film Overall

Mumbai, August 5 – The buzz around Yash Raj Films' highly anticipated spy action thriller War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR, is soaring as the film is getting nearer its release date, which is August 14. The film is directed by Ayan Mukerji, marking his debut Spy Universe film. ## Ahead of the grand worldwide release, War 2 has crossed the 500K interest mark on BookMyShow, India's leading ticketing platform. With this feat, War 2 becomes only the seventh Bollywood film to enter this elite club, joining Shah Rukh Khan's mega blockbusters like Pathaan and Jawan, among other films. ## What makes this milestone even more impressive is that War 2 has reportedly achieved the 500K mark in record time. The excitement surrounding the YRF Spy Universe's next chapter — directed by Ayan Mukerji — is bolstered by the first-time on-screen face-off between Hrithik Roshan and Telugu superstar Jr. NTR, making it a rare pan-India event film. ## This latest achievement places War 2 among a prestigious list of high-profile releases. Prabhas-fronted Adipurush continues to lead the BookMyShow chart with 1.1 million interests, the only Bollywood film to hit a million interests on the platform. Adipurush, however, is billed as a bilingual film, in Hindi and Telugu. ## SRK's Jawan is the second in the list with 732K, followed by Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 (725K), Pathaan (722K), and Singham Again (644K). War 2 now joins Tiger 3 (526K) in the 500K+ club, reaffirming the film's blockbuster potential. Although BMS interest is not a box office guarantee, it does indicate the solid hype around a film. ## Despite some reports of a slow advance booking trend in the U.S., particularly for the Hindi version, the overall anticipation remains sky-high. With its Independence Day weekend release date set for August 14, 2025, War 2 is expected to dominate both the Indian and overseas box office charts as one of the biggest releases of the year. ## Stay tuned...

The name says it all. For every update and every reveal, this is where the action begins!" He explicitly backed #HrithikvsNTR. ## Jr. NTR playfully countered: "War 2 updates and exclusives? Hrithik sir, we discussed this! There's only one name to follow. Stay tuned, because this war is just getting started!" He insisted on #NTRvsHrithik. ## Hrithik responded with a light-hearted jab: "Haha, good one @tarak9999! But the name is #HrithikvsNTR – let's not complicate this, okay?" Jr. NTR doubled down: "Admit it, Hrithik sir, my version just sounds better. Let's call it a win for me already!" ## The banter continued on the next day, when a billboard was sent under Hrithik Roshan's house, boasting about Jr. NTR's victory in his face-off with his co-star in the movie. Hrithik took pictures with it and said on X: "Okay @tarak9999, now you've taken it too far by sending an actual BILLBOARD under my house! Alright, challenge accepted. Remember, you brought this upon yourself. #9DaysToWar2". ## Okay @tarak9999, now you've taken it too far by sending an actual BILLBOARD under my house! Alright, challenge accepted.

With Hrithik returning as Kabir and Jr. NTR entering YRF’s spy universe as a formidable new character, War 2 is shaping up to be one of the most explosive cinematic clashes in Indian cinema. ## Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the movie also stars Kiara Advani as the female lead alongside Ashutosh Rana and Anil Kapoor in key roles. The film is scheduled to release on August 14 in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil. ## Stay tuned...

Ahaan Pandey, Aneet Padda's Saiyaara Hits 300 Crore India Net; Beats Salman Khan's Sultan and Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone's Padmaavat

Mumbai, August 5 - Yash Raj Films' romantic blockbuster Saiyaara, starring debutantes Ahaan Pandey and Aneet Padda, has achieved a historic milestone by crossing 300 crores net collection at the domestic box office, becoming the first Indian love story to enter the coveted club. ## Directed by Mohit Suri, the film has achieved the milestone on its 18th day (third Monday) with an approximate collection of 2.50 crores. This pushed the film's total India net to around 302.25 crores. With this feat, Saiyaara has now become the 18th Hindi-language film to cross 300 crores net in India.## Saiyaara has surpassed the lifetime India net collections of superstar Salman Khan's Sultan (300.45 crores) and Sanjay Leela Bhansali's epic Padmaavat (302.15 crores), which featured Shahid Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, and Deepika Padukone. On its 19th day, it will go past War 2 (303.34 crores), starring Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff, to become the 15th biggest Hindi net grosser of all time. ## Despite its phenomenal success, Saiyaara has seen a dip in momentum due to the release of new films and the ongoing dominance of the animated epic Mahavatar Narsimha. These factors have led to a reduction in its show count, making its entry into the 400 crore club highly unlikely. However, the film still has an outside chance of finishing with over 350 crores net in India. ## If Saiyaara does manage to touch or cross the 350 crore mark, it will solidify its place as the 11th biggest Hindi net-grosser ever — a landmark achievement for a film led by two newcomers and driven by youthful romance. The success story of Saiyaara is not only a major box office triumph for YRF but also a significant turning point for fresh talent in Bollywood. ## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, August 4 - It was another weekend of surprise blockbusters and underwhelming performances at the Indian box office.

It grossed around 30 crores (24.75 crores net) in its opening weekend. Vijay Deverakonda's Kingdom, which opened strongly on 21.25 crores gross on Thursday, the movie slowed down after that and grossed 26.50 crores (22.50 crores net) from Friday to Sunday. ## Yash Raj Films' sensational blockbuster Saiyaara was super strong in its third weekend, grossing 23 crores (19.25 crores net), pushing its total domestic collection to around 360 crores gross (~300 crores net) in 17 days. There was also Dharma Productions' romantic drama Dhadak 2, which minted approximately 13.75 crores gross (11.40 crores net). ## Here Are the Top 5 Movies in India During August 1-3 Weekend - ## 1.

Mahavatar Narsimha Second Sunday (Day 10) Early Trends: Animated Blockbuster Roars Past 100 Crore Gross In India

Mumbai, August 3 - Kaleem Productions and Hombale Films' animated epic devotional drama Mahavatar Narsimha is wreaking havoc at the box office on its second Sunday, and is eyeing 28-30+ crores gross collection in all versions, with a sensational jump of around 55%. ## The film is going from strength to strength and posting unimaginable numbers. To put this into perspective, Mahavatar Narsimha opened to a little over 2 crores gross collection, and by the 10th day, the movie rose to 15x, which is one of the rarest moments. ## With the second Sunday collection, the first movie in the ambitious Mahavatar Cinematic Universe has entered the 100 crores gross collection at the Indian box office, with the total collection expected to be around 110 crores at the end of the day. ## The movie kicked off its second weekend with 9+ crores gross, followed by a remarakble 100% growth on Saturday with 18+ crores gross. The Hindi version leads the charge with the estimated gross of around 80 crores in 10 days, followed by the Telugu with around 24-25 crores gross in as many days. ## The excellent growth over the second weekend has ensured that Mahavatar Narsimha will do very well during the weekdays. The new releases have failed to challenge the film much, which means it has almost a free run till August 14, when War 2 and Coolie will release. Whether the film can go on and touch 200 crores gross or fall short remains to be seen, but the chances are looking bright at the moment for the film to reach the milestone. ## Stay tuned...
