Bhooth Bangla has managed to stretch its theatrical run to an impressive 55 days, aided significantly by a lack of heavy competition in recent weeks. When the film arrived on April 17, the massive Dhurandhar 2 had already been in theaters for nearly a month since its March 19 release, giving the horror-comedy a clear window to attract audiences. On its eighth Wednesday, the film brought in a net collection of 0.08 Cr, holding steady with a minor 20% drop from Tuesday earnings of 0.10 Cr. Even with a limited count of 219 shows, the film is still finding takers as it moves toward its final stretch. If we look at the regional performance for the day, the National Capital Region (NCR) continues to be a strong pillar for the film even in its eighth week. With 35 shows, it saw an overall occupancy of 21%, with evening shows performing the best at 28%. In contrast, Ahmedabad had a quieter day with about 6.7% occupancy across 28 shows. These pockets of steady audience interest have helped the film maintain its presence on the big screen for nearly two months. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In the major national multiplex chains, which include PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, the film collected a combined gross of approximately ₹1.7 Lakhs on Wednesday. To break it down, PVR contributed ₹77,000, while INOX added around ₹68,000, and Cinepolis brought in about ₹27,000. While these amounts might seem small in isolation, they reflect the loyal urban audience that is still stepping out to catch this horror-comedy on the big screen. The overall financial picture of the film is quite impressive. The total India net collection has now reached ₹181.93 Cr, with the domestic gross standing at ₹215.47 Cr. When we add the overseas gross of ₹53.75 Cr, the worldwide gross collection hits a noteworthy ₹269.22 Cr. This consistent performance across 55 days shows that the movie has successfully connected with both domestic and international audiences over a long period. Perhaps the most significant highlight of this run is the digital footprint left on BookMyShow. The platform has officially concluded its tracking for the film, and the numbers are stellar. Bhooth Bangla has sold a total of 3.38 million tickets on the platform. This feat has pushed the movie into the elite Top 15 list of all-time highest ticket sales on BookMyShow. It has managed to edge past several other major blockbusters to secure its place in history. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Here is the official ranking of the top movies based on their BookMyShow ticket sales: Dhurandhar 2 - 18.37M Dhurandhar - 14.19M Chhaava - 12.59M Jawan - 12.40M Stree 2 - 11.16M Animal - 9.91M Gadar 2 - 9.18M Saiyaara - 7.09M Border 2 - 5.41M Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 - 4.67M Dunki - 4.08M Tiger 3 - 4.00M Singham Again / War 2 - 3.77M Fighter - 3.68M Bhooth Bangla - 3.38M As Bhooth Bangla prepares for its OTT release on June 12, the film concludes a profitable theatrical run. Against a reported budget of 120 Cr, the domestic net collection of 181.93 Cr and a worldwide gross approaching 270 Cr represent solid financial returns. Managing to stay in theaters for 55 days is a big win. With the digital premiere just around the corner, the movie effectively transitions from a box office success to a streaming favorite.

According to the latest reports, the much-discussed cameo in Rajinikanth's highly anticipated action entertainer Jailer 2 has now been finalised, and it is not Shah Rukh Khan's or Aamir Khan's, but of Hrithik Roshan, with the actor reportedly agreeing to come on board.

Mumbai, June 11 - The Dhurandhar duology continues to dominate audiences even after its record-breaking theatrical run. Nearly a week after its highly anticipated OTT debut, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has emerged as the most-watched title on JioHotstar in India this week. The blockbuster sequel has been drawing massive viewership since its digital premiere, further cementing its status as one of the biggest Indian films of all time. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Released on JioHotstar on June 4, while it is still playing in theatres, Dhurandhar 2 quickly became the number one movie on the platform this week, and continues to rank at the top since its digital debut. The Ranveer Singh-led blockbuster had already rewritten box office history by becoming the second highest-grossing Indian film of all-time worldwide. Meanwhile, the first Dhurandhar is trending at number 4 on JioHotstar, creating a rare double among the most-watched titles. The overwhelming response has helped the sequel maintain its grip on the top spot while also driving viewers back to the original film, which has re-entered the platform's most-watched titles list. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The success of both films on streaming reflects the cultural impact of both films. While many viewers are revisiting the original Dhurandhar to relive the journey, others are experiencing the saga for the first time after hearing about the sequel's phenomenal box office run and OTT reception. The renewed interest has created a rare scenario where both instalments are trending simultaneously on one of India's largest streaming platforms. Earlier, both films scripted box office history by grossing over 1300 crores and 1800 crores worldwide, simultaneously, and also becoming the first Indian film series to gross over 3000 crores globally. With Dhurandhar 2 occupying the No. 1 position and Dhurandhar sitting at No. 4 on JioHotstar's India charts, the spy actioner has once again proven its staying power. From shattering box office records to dominating streaming rankings, Aditya Dhar and Ranveer Singh's blockbuster series continues to set new benchmarks for Hindi cinema.

Ram Charan's Peddi continues to add significant milestones to its box office journey. While the film may not have fully lived up to the sky-high expectations associated with a project of this scale, its actual performance remains impressive. The latest achievement comes from overseas, where the film has officially crossed the coveted $5 million mark in less than a week of release. Crossing $5 million overseas is no small feat for a Telugu film. Despite the expansion of international markets over the years, only a handful of Tollywood releases have managed to enter this elite club. With Peddi joining the list, Ram Charan has secured yet another notable overseas success, reinforcing his strong pull among international audiences.The timing of the milestone makes it even more noteworthy. The film achieved the feat before completing its extended opening week, a sign that demand remained strong throughout its initial run. Overseas collections currently stand at approximately ₹48.80 crore gross, with several key markets continuing to contribute steadily. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) At the domestic box office, Peddi remained stable during the weekdays. On Day 7, the film collected ₹7.55 crore net from 7,535 shows across India. While this represented a 22.2% drop from Day 6's ₹9.70 crore net, such declines are fairly common after the opening weekend, especially for major star-driven releases. The collection pushed the film's India net total to ₹187.25 crore, while the India gross reached ₹222.53 crore. Combining domestic and overseas earnings, the worldwide gross has now climbed to ₹271.33 crore. As the film enters Day 8 and completes its extended first week, attention is naturally turning toward the next set of milestones that could be achieved during the second weekend.>Beyond collections, ticket sales data also highlights the film's sustained audience interest. On its first Wednesday alone, Peddi sold around 84,600 tickets on BookMyShow, while national chains contributed another 11,820 admissions. Combined sales across the major ticketing platforms crossed 96,000 tickets for the day, an impressive figure for a film already deep into its first week. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The BookMyShow ranking offers further context. With approximately 85,000 tickets sold on its first Wednesday, Peddi secured one of the strongest midweek performances among recent Telugu releases. The film trails only a select group of major blockbusters such as Pushpa 2, Kalki 2898 AD, Devara, Salaar, HanuMan, and OG. It has already outperformed several other high-profile releases in the same metric, suggesting that audience engagement remains healthy. Baahubali: The Beginning | Kicked off the modern era of Telugu cinema's overseas dominance. Baahubali 2: The Conclusion | Remains the benchmark for Tollywood's global box office success. Bharat Ane Nenu | One of the early post-Baahubali films to establish a strong overseas footprint. Rangasthalam | Crossed $5.14M overseas, proving content-driven rural dramas could travel globally. Saaho | Benefited from a massive multi-language international release. Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo | Set a new benchmark for family entertainers in overseas markets. RRR | Became a worldwide phenomenon, especially in North America and Japan. Adipurush | Crossed $5.5M overseas despite mixed reception. Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire | Reinforced Prabhas' massive overseas market. HanuMan | The surprise blockbuster that finished with nearly $6.8M overseas. Kalki 2898 AD | Emerged as one of the biggest overseas grossers in Telugu cinema history. Devara: Part 1 | Demonstrated Jr. NTR's standalone overseas pulling power. Pushpa 2: The Rule | Shattered multiple international box office records. They Call Him OG | Crossed $5M in North America alone and finished above $7M overseas. Peddi | Entered the prestigious $5M overseas club before completing its extended opening week. With the extended opening week coming to an end today, the film has already established a strong foundation. Whether it can convert this momentum into a powerful second weekend remains to be seen, but crossing $5 million overseas and ₹271 crore worldwide within the first week ensures that Peddi remains firmly among the year's biggest box office performers.

Peddi generated strong pre-release buzz thanks to Ram Charan's star power . Since its release, the actor's performance has received widespread appreciation and remains one of the key talking points among audiences. Although the film is not living up to the massive expectations that accompanied a project of this scale, it is still reaching significant milestones and setting new benchmarks in several areas. On its seventh day, which was a Wednesday, the film managed to earn a net collection of 7.55 Cr across India. This represents a 22.2% drop compared to Tuesday’s net of 9.70 Cr. While mid-week dips are a standard occurrence, the film is maintaining a steady presence with 7,535 shows currently running across the country. This brings the total India net collection to a respectable 187.25 Cr so far. On Day 7, Peddi recorded an India gross of 8.89 Cr. If we look at the state-wise breakdown, the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana markets remain the heart of the movie's success, contributing 6.50 Cr gross for the day. Karnataka followed with 0.60 Cr, while Tamil Nadu and Kerala added 0.25 Cr and 0.05 Cr respectively. The Rest of India markets contributed another 1.49 Cr, pushing the total India gross to 222.53 Cr. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The language-wise performance shows that the Telugu version is doing most of the heavy lifting, bringing in 6.10 Cr net on Wednesday with an overall occupancy of 24.0%. Interestingly, Vizag-Visakhapatnam recorded a very high occupancy of nearly 40%, while Hyderabad remained steady at 20.5% across 640 shows. The Hindi version also showed some grit by adding 1.25 Cr net, while the Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam versions saw smaller contributions during the mid-week period. In the national theater chains, the film saw a consistent turnout for a working Wednesday. Looking at the figures for PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, these chains collectively grossed 33 Lakhs. To be more specific, PVR brought in 15 Lakhs, INOX added 12 Lakhs, and Cinepolis contributed 6 Lakhs. It is clear that while the mass-market single screens are driving the volume, the urban multiplex audience is still providing a reliable secondary stream of revenue. Digital booking trends are another indicator of the movie's reach. On BookMyShow, Peddi recorded 84.86K ticket sales on Wednesday alone, which is a very healthy number for a seventh day. This has helped the film cross a massive milestone on the platform, with total tickets sold now exceeding 31 Lakhs since its release. On the global front, the film added 0.80 Cr (Early estimates) from overseas markets on Day 7, taking its international gross to 48.80 Cr. When you combine the domestic and international numbers, Peddi has hit a worldwide gross total of 271.33 Cr. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) As the extended first week draws to a close, it is fascinating to see where Peddi stands among the all-time greats of Telugu cinema. While it has some way to climb to reach the very top, it has already secured its place among the notable global earners of Tollywood.

If it maintains this momentum, the ₹300 Cr mark is well within reach, and the current trend suggests it could continue climbing higher on the list.

Mumbai, June 11 - The Hindi film industry is entering what could be its most important theatrical phase of 2026. In less than 30 days, Bollywood will see the release of five major films with significant commercial expectations. Beginning with Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata on June 12 and concluding with Dhamaal 4 on July 10, the industry will be hoping for a sustained run of box-office successes to strengthen the theatrical business during the summer season. The crucial release window kicks off with Kangana Ranaut's patriotic drama Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata on June 12, which is based on the true events of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, focusing on the staff at Cama Hospital who risked their lives to save over 400 patients.

The industry has often relied on a cluster of successful releases to create positive momentum at the box office. With a patriotic drama, a romantic sequel, franchise-based comedy spectacles, and a spy action thriller arriving in consecutive weeks, the next month could play a defining role in shaping the narrative of Bollywood's theatrical business for the remainder of 2026.

The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has been under a lot of pressure lately, with social media and the film industry criticizing its recent decisions. If you have been following the news, the heavy cuts imposed on films like Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai and Bandar caused quite a stir. The situation reached a boiling point when certain crucial scenes in the blockbuster Obsession were ordered to be edited, leading to an intense uproar that lasted for days. However, in a development first reported as an exclusive by Bollywood Hungama, the board seems to have taken a surprisingly lenient turn this week by clearing three significant releases with zero cuts. The first major film to benefit from this shift is Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata, starring Kangana Ranaut. The movie, which is a thriller based on the tragic 26/11 terror attacks, was granted a U/A 16+ rating by the Examining Committee. Usually, films dealing with such sensitive and violent subject matter face several audio or visual objections, but the CBFC found no reason to ask for any deletions here. According to the censor certificate issued on May 29, the film has a total runtime of approximately 127 minutes, or about 2 hours and 7 minutes. Following this, Vikram Bhatt is making a return to the 3D horror genre with Haunted – Echoes Of The Past. Starring Mimoh Chakraborty, the film has been awarded an ‘A’ rating. Historically, horror films with an adult rating are often subjected to scissor cuts due to intense horrifying sequences or intimate scenes. Surprisingly, this film has passed without a single visual or audio cut. The certificate, issued on June 9, confirms the film's length at nearly 139 minutes, which translates to a runtime of 2 hours and 19 minutes. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The third film to receive a clean chit is the Hollywood sci-fi psychological horror flick, Backrooms. Much like the recent sleeper hit Obsession, there is significant curiosity surrounding this title. The CBFC granted it an ‘A’ rating on June 8 without proposing any cuts. The film is relatively concise, with a runtime of 1 hour and 51 minutes. While the zero-cut status is a win for purists, trade analysts suggest a bit of caution. There is a possibility that the studio might have voluntarily blurred or removed certain disturbing shots before the submission to avoid a confrontation with the board, a practice that is becoming increasingly common with international horror releases. This move by the CBFC is being seen as a tactical shift to ease the ongoing tension with filmmakers and audiences alike. By allowing these high-stakes thrillers and horror movies to retain their original vision, the board might be trying to signal a more balanced approach toward adult-oriented content. For now, moviegoers can look forward to watching these titles exactly as the directors intended, provided the studios haven't played it too safe themselves.

Georgekutty’s third outing in Drishyam 3 is now moving into its final phase at the box office. While the franchise carries a massive legacy, the weekday momentum is clearly settling down as the film completes 20 days in theaters. On Tuesday, the movie earned an India net of ₹0.40 Cr, which is a 20% drop from Monday's ₹0.50 Cr. This brings the total India net collection to ₹107.33 Cr and the total domestic gross to ₹124.51 Cr so far. The film has performed decently, but the pace has slowed down significantly compared to its blockbuster opening week. Looking at the home ground, the Kerala gross currently stands at ₹86.93 Cr. With the current daily numbers, it looks like Drishyam 3 might find it difficult to cross the ₹100 Cr gross mark in Kerala, a record currently held by Mohanlal's own Thudarum. Here is the day-wise breakdown of the Kerala gross collection for Drishyam 3: Day 1: ₹11.05 Cr Day 2: ₹8.85 Cr Day 3: ₹9.25 Cr Day 4: ₹9.60 Cr Day 5: ₹6.55 Cr Day 6: ₹5.70 Cr Day 7: ₹6.10 Cr Day 8: ₹5.70 Cr Day 9: ₹4.25 Cr Day 10: ₹4.40 Cr Day 11: ₹4.85 Cr Day 12: ₹2.15 Cr Day 13: ₹1.40 Cr Day 14: ₹1.20 Cr Day 15: ₹0.95 Cr Day 16: ₹0.85 Cr Day 17: ₹1.35 Cr Day 18: ₹1.75 Cr Day 19: ₹0.55 Cr Day 20: ₹0.43 Cr (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The performance in Kerala is particularly interesting to analyze. Currently, the film has amassed a gross of ₹86.93 Cr from its home state. Despite the massive anticipation surrounding the third installment, it appears that Drishyam 3 will likely miss out on the elite ₹100 Crore gross mark in Kerala. This remains a rare feat, and the record continues to be held by Mohanlal's own crime thriller Thudarum, which made history as the first film to cross that milestone in the state. For Drishyam 3 to bridge the remaining ₹13 Cr gap at this current pace would be a very steep climb. Looking at the tracked data from national cinema chains for Tuesday, the collections were modest. PVR led the way with a gross of approximately ₹78,000, while Cinepolis contributed ₹37,000 and INOX added around ₹11,000. These figures, gathered from 91 tracked shows, result in a combined gross of roughly ₹1.26 Lakhs from these specific chains. Overall, the film maintained a footprint of 698 shows across the country on its 20th day, bringing the total show count since release to 57,420. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The international market has been a huge savior for this project. On Tuesday, the film added roughly ₹0.05 Cr from overseas, taking its total international gross to ₹111.60 Cr. This strong performance abroad has pushed the total worldwide gross collection to ₹236.11 Cr. Ticket sales on BookMyShow also reflect the cooling trend. On the third Tuesday, the film sold 7.29K tickets on the platform. This brings the cumulative ticket sales on BookMyShow to a very impressive 38,71,480. While the film is slowing down, its ability to pull in over 3.8 million tickets through just one platform shows the sheer brand power of the franchise. As the film enters its fourth week, the focus will be on its final lifetime total before it eventually makes its way to OTT platforms.
