The Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise has managed something rare in Hindi cinema: a perfect 100 percent hit record across three films. Following the success of the recent installments, Bollywood Hungama reports that producer Bhushan Kumar is now moving forward with plans for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 4. The focus is currently on developing the right core idea to ensure this remains one of the most successful horror-comedy series in the country. The core team that delivered the recent blockbusters is set to return. Reports suggest that Kartik Aaryan is already involved in the creative process to crack the perfect plot for the fourth installment. Furthermore, the legendary comedy filmmaker Anees Bazmee is in talks to return to the director's chair. While Bazmee is currently busy with a project starring Akshay Kumar, he is expected to dive into the development of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 4 right after. The makers are currently eyeing the second half of 2027 to take the film on floors, ensuring they have enough time to match the massive expectations set by the previous chapters. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The journey started in 2007 with Akshay Kumar, where the first film earned a solid 49.11 crore net in India and a worldwide total of 82.35 crore, earning a Superhit verdict. Fast forward to 2022, and Kartik Aaryan took over as Rooh Baba in the second part. That film was a major turning point, collecting 184.32 crore net in India and 265.50 crore worldwide. It was a massive Blockbuster that proved the franchise could thrive even with a change in lead actors. The trend continued upward with the third part in 2024, which skyrocketed to a 260.11 crore net collection in India and reached the 400 crore milestone worldwide. Logically, the jump from an 82 crore worldwide total to over 400 crore shows that the brand value of Bhool Bhulaiyaa has expanded exponentially. Much of this credit goes to the Rooh Baba era. Kartik Aaryan's portrayal of the quirky ghost-hunter completely redefined his career trajectory, making him a household name for families and children alike. The third installment also played a masterstroke by bringing back the original 2007 Manjulika, Vidya Balan, and pairing her with Madhuri Dixit for a dual-Manjulika twist that generated massive pre-release buzz. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) While the star power remains the face of the film, the franchise's secret weapon is its permanent comic backbone. The recurring presence of Rajpal Yadav as Chhote Pandit, along with Sanjay Mishra and Ashwini Kalsekar, provides a sense of continuity that fans have grown to love. With Triptii Dimri adding significant commercial romantic value in the recent threequel, the blueprint for the fourth film seems clear: high-octane horror, family-friendly humor, and a plot that pays homage to the original roots while pushing the box office boundaries. If the 2027 timeline holds, the industry might be looking at its next 500-crore contender.

The Dhamaal franchise has been a staple of Hindi comedy for years, known for its slapstick humor and an ensemble cast that usually brings chaos to the screen. As Indra Kumar prepares to release the fourth installment, Dhamaal 4, tomorrow on July 10, there is already significant news regarding the future of the series. According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, the makers are so confident in the latest film that they have ended it with a direct hint of a sequel. A source mentioned that a specific sequence at the end of the movie indicates that Dhamaal 5 is already in the offing, promising another madcap entertainer for the fans.

The film is produced by a large team including Ajay Devgn and Bhushan Kumar, and the industry is keeping a close eye on how this ensemble will perform at the box office. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Looking at the advance booking numbers, the film is showing a decent buildup for its opening day.

A total of 44,659 tickets have been sold across 7,626 shows for the first day. Most of the sales are coming from the standard 2D format, which has contributed nearly the entire gross amount, while premium formats like 4DX are just beginning to see some movement.

More recent tracking shows that between 11 am and 12 pm today, another 2,100 tickets were sold, bringing the total since 9 am this morning to 5,220 tickets. This hourly acceleration is a good sign for the film's spot bookings tomorrow. Regionally, the National Capital Region and Mumbai are the primary drivers for the advance bookings.

Mumbai follows with 19.47 lakh from 744 shows, reaching 41.32 lakh with block seats. While real occupancy in these major hubs currently stands at 2 percent, both cities have already seen one almost full show and several filling fast statuses. Hyderabad is performing slightly better in terms of engagement with a 5 percent occupancy across 230 shows, earning 6.18 lakh.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In other markets, Ahmedabad has grossed 4.26 lakh across 438 shows, while Jaipur and Bengaluru have collected 3.85 lakh and 3.33 lakh respectively. Other cities like Pune, Kolkata, and Surat are currently seeing more modest movement, with gross totals ranging from 1.50 lakh to 2.90 lakh. Although overall occupancy levels are mostly around 1 percent right now, the presence of filling fast shows across multiple regions indicates that demand is starting to pick up. With the news of a fifth installment already being teased, the makers of Dhamaal 4 seem to be leveraging the strong franchise recall across these major urban centers.

This week is turning out to be a treat for Bollywood fans with back-to-back grand trailer launches. While the industry is currently buzzing with the jungle-themed launch of Welcome To The Jungle, the makers of Dhamaal 4 are ready to take things to a whole new level of adventure. In an exclusive report by Bollywood Hungama, it has been revealed that the trailer for Dhamaal 4 will be unveiled tomorrow, June 12, at the popular Imagicaa amusement park near Mumbai. The Dhamaal franchise has always been about madness and over-the-top comedy, and the team wants the trailer launch to reflect that exact energy. According to sources, the event is designed to be much more than a traditional press conference. Media persons attending the event will be treated to an immersive, adventure-led experience that mirrors the treasure-hunt narrative of the upcoming film. It is clear that director Indra Kumar and the producers want to create a massive talking point right from the start. The biggest highlight of this grand event will be the poster reveal. The makers have planned to unveil a massive 60-ft poster that will cascade down a grand waterfall at the park. This spectacular reveal will happen in the presence of the entire star cast, making it a visually stunning moment. By choosing an amusement park as the venue, the makers are signaling that Dhamaal 4 is going to be a pure family entertainer filled with thrills and spills. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Dhamaal 4 brings back the iconic core cast that fans have loved for years. The film features Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, Sanjay Mishra, and Jaaved Jaaferi. This group has a unique comic timing that has made the previous installments major hits at the box office. Adding more flavor to the mix, the ensemble also includes Esha Gupta, Sanjeeda Shaikh, Anjali Anand, Upendra Limaye, Vijay Patkar, and Ravi Kishan. With such a diverse cast, the madness is expected to be multifold. The franchise has a strong track record, with the previous film, Total Dhamaal, being a huge success in 2019. Fans have been waiting to see the original gang back on a treasure hunt, and the buzz for the fourth part is already sky-high. Dhamaal 4 is presented by Gulshan Kumar and T-Series in association with Devgn Films.

Dhamaal 4 has a new release date, with the film now scheduled to arrive in theaters on July 17, 2026. As per an exclusive report by Bollywood Hungama, the sequel has moved from its initial July 3 slot to avoid a potential box office overlap with Welcome to the Jungle, which is currently slated for June 26. This adjustment provides both big-budget comedies with a better opportunity to find their audience without competing for the same screens immediately upon release. What makes this move particularly noteworthy is the reported gentleman's agreement between superstars Ajay Devgn and Akshay Kumar. According to trade sources, the two actors had a direct conversation and agreed that releasing two large-scale comedies just a week apart would likely cannibalize each other's business. By shifting the dates, they have ensured that both projects have enough breathing space to maximize their box office potential in a very busy summer market. Welcome to the Jungle, directed by Ahmed Khan, remains the first big comedy event of the season. It features a sprawling cast including Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Raveena Tandon, and Paresh Rawal, among many others. By moving Dhamaal 4 to July 17, the industry ensures a nearly three-week gap between these two tentpole releases. This window is considered ideal in today's theatrical environment, as it allows the first film to exhaust its primary run before the next major release arrives to claim screens and audience attention. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Dhamaal 4 marks the return of the popular franchise under director Indra Kumar. The film brings back the beloved core cast of Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh, Sanjay Mishra, and Jaaved Jaaferi, while adding new faces like Ravi Kishan, Esha Gupta, and Sanjeeda Shaikh. Interestingly, Arshad Warsi is part of both ensembles, making the staggered release even more logical for the trade and for the actors involved, ensuring their work doesn't compete with itself. From a trade perspective, this reshuffle could turn the summer of 2026 into one of the biggest seasons for the comedy genre in recent history. Instead of fighting for the same screens, both films are now positioned as standalone theatrical events. This rare example of collaboration over competition reflects a maturing industry where stars and producers are increasingly prioritizing long-term profitability and word-of-mouth over high-profile clashes at the ticket window. The production of Dhamaal 4 involves a massive collaboration between T-Series, Devgn Films, and Maruti International. With Indra Kumar at the helm and a production team including Bhushan Kumar and Kumar Mangat Pathak, the film is poised for a wide release. The revised plan allows for a cleaner run to bring in the moolah, ensuring that the franchise has every opportunity to succeed when it hits theaters on July 17, 2026.

Mumbai, May 15 - Mounting a big-budget war film is among the toughest challenges in filmmaking. From military research to realistic combat design and large-scale outdoor shoots to VFX, sound design, and emotionally charged music, every detail demands precision and massive investment. But trade experts say a great spectacle alone no longer guarantees box office success. Today's audiences want authenticity, emotion, and characters they can connect with beyond the battlefield. Over the span of six months, there were some major war films that were released in theatres. The audience verdict, though, was evident with Border 2 emerging as a big blockbuster and eventually becoming the most successful war film of recent times with 450 crores worldwide gross collection. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Industry chatter suggests that the film's emotional storytelling and patriotic core struck a chord with viewers across generations, proving that the appetite for war dramas coupled with a strong emotional core is still very much alive. Many within the trade are now crediting the Duttas for once again redefining the genre they mastered decades ago. With Border and now Border 2, producer and co-writer Nidhi Dutta has shown that the secret to a successful war film lies not just in scale, but in soul. The blockbuster success of Border 2 has reignited interest in the genre. Produced by Nidhi Dutta under JP Films, and Bhushan Kumar of T-Series, Border 2 stars Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahaan Shetty, and was released on 23rd January 2026.

Fans of Prabhas have been following various reports regarding his upcoming project with director Sandeep Reddy Vanga. Recently, several rumors were circulating that Spirit might be postponed to December 2027. However, the makers have now officially clarified that the film is progressing exactly as planned. The high-octane action drama is set to arrive in cinemas worldwide on 5 March 2027, putting an end to all postponement speculation and confirming that there is absolutely no delay. This clarification is particularly significant because of how it impacts the box office calendar for 2027. When reports of a possible postponement first surfaced, many believed it would clear the path for Salman Khan's upcoming film with Nayanthara, which is scheduled for an Eid release that same year. Salman Khan has long been considered the king of Eid releases, and a shift for Spirit would have potentially given him a solo window to dominate the box office as he usually does. With the official confirmation that Spirit is staying on its March date, the industry is now looking at a very busy and competitive year for major superstars. Spirit marks a notable departure for director Sandeep Reddy Vanga in terms of characterization. While his previous leads in Arjun Reddy and Animal were depicted as coming from wealthy backgrounds, the protagonist in this film comes from a middle-class setting. Prabhas will be playing the role of a disgraced former police officer who takes a ruthless, no-nonsense approach to dismantle an international crime syndicate. This is the first time in his career that Prabhas will be portraying a police officer, which has added a lot of curiosity regarding his look and performance in the film. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The project also features a strong ensemble cast designed for pan-Indian and international appeal. Triptii Dimri is set to play the female lead, reportedly portraying a doctor who becomes romantically involved with the character played by Prabhas. Vivek Oberoi is rumored to be the primary antagonist, while Prakash Raj will take on the role of a jail superintendent who has intense confrontations with the protagonist. The inclusion of veteran actress Kanchana in a pivotal supporting role further strengthens the lineup, making it a very interesting mix of talent. One of the most discussed aspects of the casting is the potential involvement of South Korean action star Don Lee, also known as Ma Dong-seok. There is strong speculation and ongoing talks for the Train to Busan star to join as a key international antagonist, which would give the film a massive global edge. Produced by Bhushan Kumar and T-Series, Spirit remains one of the most anticipated films in Indian cinema. With the release date now firmly set for March 2027, fans and trade analysts are eagerly waiting to see how this intense, character-driven saga unfolds on the big screen.

The anticipation surrounding Pati Patni Aur Woh Do has become strong following the response to its teaser released on April 20. Capitalizing on this momentum and the specific setting of the comic caper, the makers have planned an unconventional marketing move. T-Series, in collaboration with B R Studios, is set to host a first-of-its-kind trailer launch event at Mumbai's Sanjay Gandhi National Park on Saturday, May 2. According to an exclusive report by Bollywood Hungama, this marks the first time the National Park has been utilized for a major film event, blending cinema with nature for an immersive experience. The event is designed to be visually striking and immersive, featuring the principal star cast and the director. To make the launch memorable for the media and attendees, the organizers have curated specific activities, including a ride on the famous Van Rani Toy Train and boating sessions alongside the film’s talent. This jungle-themed concept aims to mirror the vibrant and chaotic energy of the film, providing a unique backdrop for the unveiling of the trailer. With preparations currently in full swing, the industry is looking at this as a significant step in the evolution of film promotional events in Mumbai. Directed by Mudassar Aziz, the film is a spiritual successor to the 2019 hit that grossed over 100 crore in India. Aziz, who is considered the architect of the modern franchise, is expected to bring his signature blend of situational comedy and sharp relationship drama back to the big screen. The sequel expands the conflict by featuring three female leads instead of two, creating what fans are calling a more chaotic Pativerse. For Ayushmann Khurrana, this project is a crucial addition to his comedy-drama portfolio as he looks to maintain his streak of theatrical successes. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film boasts a fresh and buzzy ensemble cast including Sara Ali Khan, Rakul Preet Singh, and Wamiqa Gabbi. The pairing of Ayushmann and Sara is a major talking point, as they have also collaborated on the spy-comedy Udta Teer, scheduled for later this year. Additionally, the film marks a reunion for Ayushmann with Rakul Preet after their 2022 project Doctor G, and brings back his popular dynamic with Wamiqa Gabbi. This combination of fresh chemistry and proven on-screen partnerships is expected to be a major draw for the family audience when the film arrives in theaters. From a box office perspective, Pati Patni Aur Woh Do comes at a time when Ayushmann Khurrana has reclaimed his commercial mojo. After the success of Dream Girl 2, which netted over 100 crore, the actor delivered another winner in late 2025 with the supernatural horror-comedy Thamma. By officially joining the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe, Ayushmann has built significant momentum heading into 2026. Pati Patni Aur Woh Do is scheduled for a theatrical release on May 15, 2026. Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishnan Kumar, and Renu Ravi Chopra, the film is being positioned as a premier summer entertainer. With a unique trailer launch on the horizon and a cast that balances established stardom with rising talent, the production is leaving no stone unturned to ensure the film grabs maximum eyeballs. Following the trailer reveal on May 2, the team is expected to embark on a multi-city promotional tour ahead of the mid-May release.

Mumbai, March 26 - In a major development for Bollywood, filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri has joined forces with producer Bhushan Kumar for a new film based on Operation Sindoor. The project is already generating significant buzz as it marks the coming together of a filmmaker known for politically charged narratives and one of the industry's biggest production houses, T-Series.

The anticipation surrounding Sandeep Reddy Vanga's next directorial venture, Spirit, has reached a new peak with the official unveiling of Vivek Oberoi's first look today, February 27, 2026. This major update comes as a thrill for fans who have been eagerly awaiting news on the high-octane actioner headlined by Rebel Star Prabhas. Vivek Oberoi, known for his intense screen presence, appears in a gritty, high-fashion avatar in the first-look poster, complete with a cigar and tinted shades. His inclusion suggests a powerful, perhaps antagonistic role that mirrors the raw intensity Vanga is known for extracting from his performers, much like the cultural impact of Bobby Deol in Animal. Adding to the intrigue, the makers also officially introduced Aishwarya Desai, who is set to play a significant role in the film. While her character details are being kept strictly under wraps, her casting alongside a seasoned actor like Vivek Oberoi indicates that Vanga is once again curating a diverse and impactful ensemble. Spirit marks the director's third major collaboration with producer Bhushan Kumar of T-Series, following the massive global success of Kabir Singh and Animal. The film also features Triptii Dimri as the female lead, marking her second consecutive project with the director, further solidifying her status as a pan-India star.

The film has been making headlines with the trending tagline #OneBadHabit, sparking endless fan theories regarding the character arc of Prabhas, who is set to portray a fierce, uncompromising police officer. This character flaw narrative has become a staple of Vanga's storytelling, and trade analysts suggest that this gritty approach, combined with Prabhas's unmatched stardom, will create a lethal combination at the box office. The makers have officially locked March 5, 2027, for the worldwide theatrical release of Spirit. Given that Prabhas is currently coming off a string of massive hits, including Kalki 2898 AD and Sandeep Reddy Vanga is arguably the most bankable director for edgy, high-grossing dramas, the trade expectations are monumental. As a true pan-India project releasing in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada, Spirit is expected to challenge the highest opening day records in Indian cinema history. With a full year of post-production and marketing still ahead, the film is already positioned as the most anticipated cinematic event of 2027.
