Hyderabad, May 8 - The advance booking storm for superstar Ram Charan starrer Peddi has officially begun in North America, and the response has been nothing short of phenomenal. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, the highly-anticipated sports action drama crossed the $100K mark in premiere pre-sales within no time of bookings opening, setting the stage for what could become one of the biggest sales for a Telugu. The film's pre-sales momentum has already surpassed the early booking record of almost every Indian film in North America, with the fastest $100K booking in just 4 hours. Trade circles are now closely tracking Peddi's pace as the buzz continues to grow rapidly among overseas audiences, especially in the USA, where Ram Charan enjoys huge popularity following the global success of RRR.

Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge reaching its 50th day is more than just a box office milestone; it represents a fundamental shift in the landscape of Indian cinema. In an era where most big-budget films struggle to stay relevant beyond their third week, this sequel has managed to maintain its grip on the audience through sheer narrative scale and technical excellence. The impact it has left is profound, as it restored the big-screen event experience that had become a rarity. By blending uncompromising action with a gritty, deep-rooted story, director Aditya Dhar created a film that did not just follow trends but set entirely new benchmarks for what an Indian blockbuster can achieve. The scale of this production was a gamble that paid off in ways the industry is still trying to digest. Choosing an A-rating and a runtime that exceeded typical commercial standards usually limits a film potential, but here, it actually helped the movie find its core audience. It brought back a sense of life to the theaters, especially in the Hindi belt, where the demand for high-quality, high-stakes cinema was at an all-time high. The success of the Dhurandhar franchise has now set a gold standard for sequels, proving that if the vision is bold enough, the audience will stay committed for months, not just days. It has set a high bar of expectations that every upcoming project will now find difficult to match. As we look at the numbers on day 50, the film is still going strong with 721 shows across India. According to the live tracking for today, it has already netted 0.36 crore, which pushes the total India net collection to a staggering 1,140.53 crore. The domestic gross has now reached 1,365.03 crore. These figures are not just records; they are a testament to the film durability. By day 46, it achieved the historic feat of surpassing the worldwide gross of the legendary Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, which stood at 1,788.06 crore. With this, it has officially claimed the second spot on the list of highest-grossing Indian films of all time globally, trailing only behind Dangal. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Beyond the total collection figures, the movie has rewritten the rulebook of Indian cinema by setting several unprecedented benchmarks. It is not just about the final tally but how quickly and consistently the film dominated various territories. Take a look at some of the industry firsts and records that Dhurandhar 2 has established during its historic 50-day run: The 1000 Crore Pioneer: It is the first-ever Hindi film to cross the ₹1,000 crore net mark in India. Sustained Momentum: It set a new industry benchmark by maintaining Hindi net collections of ₹40+ crore for 11 consecutive days. Fastest Milestones: It became the fastest Hindi film to reach ₹500 crore in 6 days and ₹1,000 crore worldwide in just 7 days. Unmatched Single Days: It remains the only movie to score over ₹100 crore net in Hindi in a single day twice. The Non-China/Gulf King: It is the highest-grossing Indian film worldwide excluding the China and Gulf markets. Australia and UK Leader: It emerged as the No. 1 Indian film of all time in Australia with over A$8M and the highest-grossing Hindi film ever in the United Kingdom with over £4.39M. First ₹3100 Crore Franchise: The Dhurandhar duology is the first Indian film series to cross ₹3,100 crore worldwide gross.

Mumbai, May 7 - Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has already created history at the global box office with 1800 crores gross collection, and now the focus has shifted towards its much-awaited OTT release. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the action spectacle turned into a worldwide phenomenon during its theatrical run and emerged as the second-highest-grossing Indian film ever made. After dominating cinemas for weeks, audiences are now eagerly waiting to watch the blockbuster from the comfort of their homes. Dhurandhar 2 OTT Release Date and Streaming Partner (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Although the makers are yet to officially announce the streaming premiere date, the film is expected to arrive on the platform sometime this month (May 2026), most probably in the third week of May. It has increasingly become a norm that Bollywood films arrive on digital platforms after 8 weeks of theatrical run. The film will complete an 8-week window on May 13, and it may arrive anytime soon after that. JioHotstar has the streaming rights of the movie, a change in strategy after the first Dhurandhar debuted on Netflix after a theatrical run. What To Expect From Streaming Release (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Dhurandhar, which was released in theatres in December last year, was a massive success for Netflix despite most of the target audience watching it in theatres. The film pulled off massive box office numbers as one of the highest-grossing Indian films ever, with 1300+ crores worldwide, but what led to a huge response on Netflix was also the curiosity around Dhurandhar 2, which released in theatres on March 19. It clocked nearly 32 million views, making it one of the most-watched Indian films on streaming. While the makers are expecting similar numbers for Dhurandhar 2 on JioHotstar, that might not be possible due to various reasons. The film doesn't have the advantage of curiosity, unlike the first film, for which the anticipation for part two led to big numbers. Secondly, a higher number of people than Dhurandhar has already watched the sequel in theatres, so that may also reduce the digital views for the film. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The OTT release of Dhurandhar 2 is still expected to become a major event in itself, considering the unprecedented box office run, but it might not be able to pull off similar numbers to the first film. Even though the expectations are high, scoring such big numbers again is unlikely to happen. Dhurandhar Franchise Reaches New Heights The film's historic box office success has firmly established the Dhurandhar franchise among the biggest cinematic brands in Indian cinema today. With unfiltered action, patriotic themes, stylish storytelling, and a strong emotional core, the sequel managed to connect with audiences across languages and regions. It is the highest-grossing Indian film series with 3100 crores worldwide collection across both films.

Kara has wrapped up its opening week on a relatively low note, failing to maintain the momentum it showed during its initial two days. On its seventh day, the film collected 1.58 crore net across India, which is a 21 percent decline from Tuesday's 2.00 crore. This brings the first-week total net collection to 28.73 crore, with the domestic gross standing at 33.14 crore. For a film that started with over 6 crore on its opening day, finishing the week under the 30 crore mark indicates a lukewarm response from the general audience. The film's trajectory shows a clear struggle to sustain interest after the first Friday. While it peaked on its second day with 6.95 crore, the collections began to slide even on Saturday and Sunday, followed by a steep crash on Monday where it fell to 1.80 crore. Wednesday's performance confirms this downward trend. Language-wise, the Tamil version remains the only notable contributor with 1.11 crore from 2,217 shows on day 7, while the Telugu version added a minor 0.47 crore. Despite the wide release across Southern markets, the movie has found it difficult to generate significant footfalls beyond the opening weekend. In terms of the overall language performance, the Tamil version has predictably led the way as the film's primary market. During the first week, it netted 23.26 crore while seeing an average occupancy of 24.6 percent, showing that the home audience provided the most consistent support. The Telugu version further supplemented the collections by contributing 5.47 crore net, with its average occupancy standing at 18.6 percent.

Kochi, May 7 - Malayalam cinema has produced several successful films over the last few years, but the industry's ambitious big-budget ventures continue to face major hurdles at the box office. Director Mahesh Narayanan's spy action thriller Patriot, headlined by legendary stars Mammootty and Mohanlal, was initially expected to emerge as a landmark global blockbuster for Mollywood, but it is now witnessing a sharp downward trend after a promising start. Released amid massive expectations and strong pre-release buzz, Patriot opened to an impressive worldwide gross of around 28 crores on its opening day. The film collected more than 60 crores globally during its first three-day weekend, giving hope for a long theatrical run. However, the weekend trend itself indicated that sustaining momentum during weekdays could become difficult, and the collections have now dropped heavily since Monday. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The spy thriller is currently struggling to even touch the 100 crore milestone worldwide. The film's first-week total is expected to finish in the range of 75 crores gross globally. Mixed word of mouth and the film's niche subject appear to have impacted its performance beyond the initial weekend rush. In six days so far, Patriot has grossed around 30.25 crores in India, while the overseas market has contributed an estimated 42 crores, taking the worldwide cumulative total to approximately 72 crores gross. Reportedly mounted on a massive budget of nearly 125 crores, Patriot ranks among the most expensive Malayalam films ever made. Unfortunately, this is not the first time a high-budget Mollywood film has failed to meet expectations at the box office. Back in 2024, Mohanlal's Malaikottai Vaaliban also ended up as a commercial disappointment. Despite strong hype before release, the film failed to gross even 30 crores worldwide against a reported budget of over 60 crores and was eventually declared a disaster. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Mohanlal's Empuraan, the sequel to his blockbuster Lucifer (2019), also failed to meet its full potential despite being the second-highest-grossing Malayalam film of all time with around 267 crores gross worldwide.

Mumbai, May 7 - Riteish Deshmukh's historical action drama Raja Shivaji is rewriting box office history for Marathi cinema with record-breaking collection.

No major release this Friday, the Jio Studios and Mumbai Film Company's blockbuster is expected to remain the first choice of moviegoers this weekend, with a big jump expected in the Maharashtra region.

The Hollywood film Mortal Kombat II is also hitting theatres, but neither film is expected to challenge Raja Shivaji in terms of numbers. The low-key competition leaves Raja Shivaji as the only major title to perform in the coming days, even though there is Akshay Kumar's Bhooth Bangla running successfully, but it will already be in its 4th week. While Riteish Deshmukh's directorial and starring will lose some screens to the new releases, it will be looking to score around 20 crores gross in its second weekend, which will put it within touching distance of the 100 crores mark.

Mumbai, May 6 - Jio Studios and Mumbai Film Company's historical action drama Raja Shivaji continues its strong run at the domestic box office, and has now crossed the 50 crores gross mark in just five days to become the fastest Marathi film of all-time to do so. A Historic Milestone For Raja Shivaji (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Backed by strong word-of-mouth and a solid opening driven by record-breaking advance bookings, Raja Shivaji has managed to sustain momentum at the box office.

Directed by and starring Riteish Deshmukh, Raja Shivaji grossed around 5.75 crores on its first Tuesday (5th day), which took its total gross collection to around 52.70 crores (44.40 crores net). With this, it has become only the fourth Marathi film of all-time to cross this milestone. Crossing the 50 crore mark is a significant milestone for any Marathi film, given the relatively limited market compared to mainstream Hindi cinema. This achievement underlines the film's wide acceptance and the increasing appetite for high-quality regional content. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Marathi Cinema’s Box Office Giants The success of Raja Shivaji places it among an elite list of Marathi blockbusters.

Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is proving to be a rare case of a blockbuster that simply refuses to exit the charts, even as it nears the end of its seventh week. On its 48th day, the film collected a net of 55 lakh across India. What is interesting about this number is that it represents a clear growth from Monday's collection of 50 lakh. Seeing a spike in collections during the seventh week is quite uncommon for big-budget films, but it shows that the audience interest is still active during the mid-week screenings. This growth in collection was supported by a significant jump in both the show count and the occupancy levels. On Tuesday, the number of shows increased to 833, up from 753 shows on Monday. Even more impressive was the jump in occupancy, which climbed to 29.6 percent, nearly doubling from the 16.9 percent recorded on the previous day. While a 5 lakh increase might seem small for a film of this scale, seeing any growth on a Tuesday during the seventh week is a rare occurrence in the box office cycle. This sudden surge suggests that the film is still capturing the attention of Spy Universe Freeks and repeat audiences who are taking advantage of the wider show availability. The upward trend is also reflected in the online ticket sales on BookMyShow. For its seventh Tuesday, the film sold 14.92k tickets on the platform, which is a healthy increase from the 12.84k tickets sold on Monday. This steady rise in daily ticket sales confirms that the increase in net revenue was a direct result of higher footfalls across the country. It is a testament to the film's strong word-of-mouth that people are still actively booking tickets seven weeks into the theatrical run. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In the premium national cinema chains including PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, the film continues to find a place on the daily charts, remarkably sitting in the Top 5 even on its 48th day. On Tuesday, these chains combined for a total of 11,375 tickets for Dhurandhar 2. PVR led the way with approximately 5,745 tickets, followed by INOX with 3,790 tickets, and Cinepolis with 1,840 tickets. These sales were spread across 488 shows in 302 venues, resulting in a solid occupancy of 14 percent. For a film this late in its run, maintaining such occupancy in urban centers is a massive achievement, especially when you consider it is outperforming several much newer releases. For instance, it sold significantly more tickets than Patriot with its 6,400 tickets and Lee Cronin's The Mummy which moved 5,250 tickets. It is also well ahead of other active titles like Ek Din and Project Hail Mary, showing that the legacy of this sequel is still stronger than many fresh options on the marquee. Looking at the bigger picture, the total India net collection has now reached a staggering 1,139.67 crore. A major part of this success comes from the Hindi version, which has earned 1,071.41 crore net so far with a consistent occupancy of 33.2 percent over its lifetime. The regional markets have also provided strong support, with the Telugu version contributing 42.95 crore and the Tamil version adding 19.69 crore. The Kannada and Malayalam versions have also added their shares, with 3.85 crore and 1.77 crore net respectively. This balanced multi-language performance has been the backbone of the film's total domestic gross, which now stands at 1,364.02 crore. On the international front, the film's run is just as noteworthy, with the total overseas gross reaching 426.15 crore. According to data shared by Venky Box Office, the film earned 6k dollars on Monday in the North American market, taking its total there to 28.56 million dollars. This global interest, combined with the massive domestic performance across 5.14 lakh shows in India, has pushed the overall worldwide gross for Dhurandhar 2 to a total of 1,790.17 crore. As the film approaches its 50th day in theaters, the focus remains on how much more it can add to its historic tally before finishing its theatrical run.

Patriot recorded a net collection of 1.70 crore on its first Monday in India. For a film featuring two major legends, this number is relatively low and suggests that the star power is not translating into a strong weekday hold. This takes the total India net collection to 23.35 crore, while the domestic gross stands at 27.09 crore after the first four days of release. The film operated with an average occupancy of 19 percent on Monday across a total of 1,781 shows. While this occupancy percentage might seem decent, the low daily collection reveals that the film is mostly playing in smaller centers or lower-priced screens. Across its entire run so far, the movie has been played across 9,020 shows, but the inability to cross the 2 crore mark on a Monday for a project of this scale is a point of concern. Ticket sales on BookMyShow also show a significant cooling period. The film sold 41.18K tickets on Monday, which is a sharp drop from its pre-sales and opening day figures. Since its release, the platform has recorded over 8.46 lakh tickets in total. The steady decline from a strong 250K on Friday to just 41K on Monday indicates that the initial curiosity has settled quite quickly.

Across PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, the movie managed to sell roughly 6,490 tickets on Monday from 628 shows, resulting in a gross of around 14.25 lakh. PVR was the biggest contributor with nearly 3,930 tickets from 280 shows. INOX and Cinepolis followed with approximately 1,340 tickets from 159 shows and 1,220 tickets from 189 shows, respectively. With an average occupancy of just 5.41 percent in these national chains, the film is essentially playing to very few people in high-end multiplexes, which is a disappointing trend for a big-budget release. On the international front, the film is finding better support. It added 2 crore from overseas markets on Monday, taking its total international gross to 40.50 crore. According to data from Venky Box Office, the North America market has contributed a total of approximately 2.80 crore ($334K) so far, with Saturday alone bringing in around 1.20 crore ($144K). This international revenue has been crucial in pushing the worldwide gross collection to 67.59 crore. While the global numbers look more respectable, the film needs a much stronger performance in the domestic market if it wants to improve its final standing. Looking ahead, Patriot will need to maintain a steady run over the rest of the week. With a total India net of 23.35 crore, it is clear that the movie is facing stiff competition and is not quite reaching the heights expected from its legendary cast. The coming days will show if it can hold its current levels or if the collections will continue to slide as it faces more competition in the coming weeks.
