Pati Patni Aur Woh Do Postponed; Ayushmann Khurrana Starrer Vacates March 4 Release Slot

BY SACNILK

In a major development for the upcoming spring film calendar, the highly anticipated sequel Pati Patni Aur Woh Do has been officially moved from its original release date of March 4, 2026. According to an exclusive report by Bollywood Hungama, the makers have decided to push the release to ensure the final product meets the high expectations set by the franchise. According to trade sources, the decision to postpone was driven by a commitment to quality. The film is currently in the final stages of post-production, with one song sequence still left to be filmed. The producers, including Bhushan Kumar and Juno Chopra, are reportedly keen on avoiding a rushed release, opting instead to devote more time to perfecting the VFX and technical aspects of the quirky comedy. The vacation of the March 4 slot creates an interesting scenario for the industry. While the date offers a massive five-day extended weekend due to Holi falling on a Wednesday, it also faces significant competition. The first week of March coincides with the high-stakes semi-finals and finals of the 2026 Men's T20 World Cup (March 4–8), which traditionally impacts theatrical footfalls. Furthermore, the industry is preparing for a massive clash on March 19, with the release of Dhurandhar: The Revenge and Toxic. By moving out of March 4, Pati Patni Aur Woh Do avoids these headwinds but loses the holiday advantage for its opening. Pati Patni Aur Woh Do: Key Film Details Lead Cast: Ayushmann Khurrana, Sara Ali Khan, Wamiqa Gabbi, Rakul Preet Singh Director: Mudassar Aziz Producers: Bhushan Kumar (T-Series), Renu Ravi Chopra, Krishan Kumar New Release Date: To be announced (Expected Mid-2026) (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   Expectations for the sequel are high given the Hit status of the 2019 original. Directed by Mudassar Aziz and starring Kartik Aaryan, the first installment was praised for its writing and commercial appeal. As Pati Patni Aur Woh Do introduces a new cast led by Ayushmann Khurrana, all eyes are on whether the sequel can replicate the box office momentum of its predecessor.

De De Pyaar De 2 Collection: Ajay Devgn, Rakul Preet Singh's Rom-Com Tops 100 Crore Worldwide

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, November 25 - Ajay Devgn and Rakul Preet Singh-fronted romantic comedy De De Pyaar De 2 has topped the 100 crore worldwide mark, a decent milestone at the global box office. Directed by Anshul Sharma, DDPD2 took 12 days to go past the century mark worldwide. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) While entering the 100-crore club is always noteworthy for a rom-com, the overall performance of the sequel is being viewed as satisfactory rather than impressive, especially considering the expectations attached to the brand value of the first film. The film opened on a modest note, and though it picked up over the weekend, the growth wasn't strong enough to signal a major blockbuster run. Gradual progress over the weekdays and a steady second weekend helped the film push its worldwide gross to over 100 crore, allowing it to just about cross the benchmark. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) At the domestic box office, DDPD2 has grossed approximately 77.50 crores in 12 days, which also reflects the mixed trend — not a failure, but far from the commanding numbers expected from a franchise-driven urban entertainer. Overseas, the film has posted around 22.50 crores so far to take its global tally past 100 crores. Despite this, De De Pyaar De 2 remains a fairly acceptable box-office outing, buoyed by family audiences. Overall, the film's entry into the 100 crore worldwide club is a decent achievement, but the verdict remains clear — the result is not extraordinary, merely satisfactory, and certainly below what trade circles had anticipated before release.

Thamma Box Office day 9 Ayushmann & Rashmika’s Horror-Comedy Crossed ₹100 Crore with Smart Strategy

BY SACNILK

Thamma arrived in theatres not just as another Diwali release, but as the next chapter in a universe that has quietly grown into one of Bollywood’s most reliable crowd-pleasers. After the success of films like Stree and Bhediya, audiences walked into Thamma already familiar with the quirky world of the Maddock Horror-Comedy Universe — where spooky spirits meet sharp humour and heartfelt storytelling. This time, Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna step into the supernatural playground, joined by Paresh Rawal and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, bringing together a cast designed to spark curiosity and laughter in equal measure. Riding on festive mood and strong franchise recall, Thamma floated into cinemas with confidence — and early numbers showed clear audience interest. The film opened strong and paced ahead in its early theatrical run, marking a solid commercial chapter for Ayushmann Khurrana in the genre-driven entertainer space. However, the franchise comparison tells an interesting story. Stree 2 opened at a massive ~₹55.4 crore on Day 1 and ~₹35.3 crore on Day 2, proving its powerful franchise advantage. In contrast, Thamma leveraged Diwali buzz and familiarity to register ~₹24 crore on Day 1, followed by ~₹18.6 crore on Day 2, ₹13 crore on Day 3, and ₹10 crore on Day 4 — showing a dip after the initial festive rush. In other words, while the predecessor sprinted ahead early, Thamma followed a slower, festival-weighted curve. What turned the tide was the film’s mid-run strategy. With a ₹99 ticket offer rolled out around Day 7/8, footfalls surged again, pushing the Day-8 figure to ~₹4.6 crore and helping the film cross the ₹100-crore India net mark. This smart pricing intervention allowed Thamma to climb back after its decline — proving that today’s box office doesn’t reward just big openings, but sustained momentum and recovery. The film also faced early piracy leaks online even as it crossed the ₹100-crore mark domestically. Despite that, Thamma continued trending across social platforms and retained strong audience chatter, reflecting the pull of supernatural comedy blended with emotional beats and Maddock’s expanding horror-comedy universe. Box-Office Snapshot India Net (Day 1): ₹24 crore India Net (Day 2): ₹18.6 crore India Net (Day 3): ₹13 crore India Net (Day 4): ₹10 crore India Net (Day 5): ₹13.1 crore India Net (Day 6): ₹12.6 crore India Net (Day 7): ₹ 4.3 crore India Net (Day 8): ₹ 5.75 crore India Net (Day 9): ₹ 3.65 crore India Gross (till Day 9): ₹ 125.75 crore Overseas: ₹18 crore Worldwide Total: ₹143.75 crore(approx) The film found steady support from family audiences and franchise followers. While it didn’t match the opening pace of Stree 2, Thamma showed how hybrid strategies — festival timing, franchise recall, and flexible pricing — can help theatrical films sustain in a changing box-office environment.In the end, the combination of Diwali turnout, brand value, and the discounted-ticket move pushed the movie to achieve the ₹100 crore mark..

Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna's Thamma Nears 100 Cr Net As Harshvardhan Rane's Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Scores Unexpected Success

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, October 27 - Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna's Thamma had a good 6-day extended opening weekend at the box office. The vampire comedy has struck a chord with its targeted audiences for its connection with Maddock Horror Comedy Universe and the chemistry between the lead pair. With positive word of mouth, the film has held its ground well despite competition during the Diwali festive period. The film's extended first weekend collections have been good, recording around 91 crores net in six days and 125 crores gross worldwide. The film is expected to enter the 100 crores club in 8 days. While the weekend trajectory was good, it wasn't exceptional, making the upcoming weekdays crucial in determining its final box office outcome. The lack of new Bollywood releases this coming week is expected to help Thamma have a sustained run. Meanwhile, Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa's romantic drama Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat has turned out to be a dark horse at the box office. Despite limited buzz and underwhelming critics' reviews, the film has managed to find its audience, especially among young people and in smaller towns. The film has already crossed 50 crores worldwide within six days, including 49 crores gross (41.50 crores net) from India, signalling a strong acceptance. The film has become Rane's biggest grosser with today's collection. Together, Thamma and Deewaniyat have infused fresh energy into the box office, proving that content variety and genuine audience engagement still hold the key to success. While Thamma is now aiming for a steady run, Deewaniyat has earned its spot as one of the year's most surprising success stories. Stay tuned...

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, October 23: Rishab Shetty's mega blockbuster Kantara Chapter 1 is set to enter the 200 crores net club at the Hindi box office in the coming days as it continues its glorious march, showing remarkable resilience. Despite new competition from Bollywood Diwali releases, the period action drama has managed to hold its ground strongly across the northern circuits. After two weeks of consistent performance, Kantara Chapter 1 faced competition from Thamma and Deewaniyat during the Diwali festive week. Yet, the Hindi-dubbed version of the film remained strong, scoring approximately 26 crores net from the third Friday to Wednesday. In 21 days so far, the film has scored approximately 189 crore net in Hindi and is inching towards the coveted 200 crore milestone. The film's positive word-of-mouth and devotional storytelling have contributed to its sustained success across regions. In multiplexes and single screens alike, Kantara Chapter 1 continues to draw crowds, with minimal drops even during weekdays. The film's blend of spirituality, folklore, and raw action has struck a universal chord with audiences across languages.

The film has already surpassed the lifetime Hindi collections of several major pan-India titles, including 2.0, which minted around 188 crores net. Meanwhile, the blockbuster prequel is heading towards the 800 crores milestone at the worldwide box office and has become the biggest Indian grosser of the year. It has grossed over 770 crores after 21 days, and will become the biggest grosser of 2025 during the 4th weekend. Stay tuned...

The Maddock Films release has managed to hold well on its second day, continuing to benefit from the Diwali festive period. According to early estimates, Thamma collected 17.50-18.50 crores net on Day 2, showing a decent hold after its impressive 24 crores net opening.

Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, Thamma continues to enjoy the Diwali post-holiday advantage, with strong family turnout across major circuits and good word-of-mouth driving footfalls. The drop from Day 1 is reasonable, especially given that the second day is a working day in several parts of the country. With holiday fever still in the air, the 5th film in the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe (MHCU) is expected to maintain its momentum through the extended festive week. The film has been praised for its quirky humour, visual style, and unique blend of horror and comedy — a formula that continues to resonate well with audiences. Stay tuned...
