Mumbai, March 14 - The excitement surrounding Dhurandhar 2 continues to grow as the makers have officially opened full-fledged advance bookings across the country, having already grossed over 25 crores for paid premieres on March 18. The highly anticipated sequel, starring Ranveer Singh, is already generating tremendous buzz ahead of its release, with ticket sales continuing with solid momentum in India and overseas markets. Meanwhile, the first part of Dhurandhar, which was released in the first week of December last year and has been playing in theatres on limited screens, was expanded to over 1000+ screens this week ahead of the release of Dhurandhar: The Revenge. The film is still holding its ground at the box office even after a long theatrical run. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) On its 99th day, the film managed to collect around 20 lakh, showcasing its remarkable staying power and sustained audience interest. Such late-run collections are rare for mainstream Indian films in today's time. With this, the total collection of the film now reached around 1006.50 crores gross in India and 1306 crores gross worldwide. The strong performance of the original film is further boosting the momentum for the sequel, which can already be seen in premiere sales. With bookings now fully underway, Dhurandhar 2 is expected to record massive pre-sales in the coming days, especially given the strong hype generated by its trailers, promotional campaigns, and the success of the first film. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) If the early trends continue, Dhurandhar 2 could be looking at one of the biggest openings for an Indian film ever. It is scheduled to release on March 19 in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada. Stay tuned...

Vishal Bhardwaj's latest directorial venture, O Romeo, which hit theaters on February 13, 2024, has concluded its initial theatrical run with a performance that highlights the growing disconnect between critical ambition and commercial reality. Despite the high-profile reunion of the filmmaker with Shahid Kapoor—a duo responsible for cult classics like Haider and Kaminey—the film struggled to translate its star power into a box office victory. Marketed as a gritty, modern-day romantic thriller featuring an ensemble cast including Triptii Dimri, Disha Patani, and Nana Patekar, the project was one of the most anticipated releases of the season, yet it faced an uphill battle in a volatile theatrical environment. In terms of financial performance, the latest trade data suggests that while O Romeo continues its theatrical run, it is currently trending toward being a commercial underperformer relative to its high production stakes. The film managed an India Net collection of ₹71.30 Cr, with its India Gross standing at ₹83.50 Cr. When supplemented by an overseas contribution of ₹24.75 Cr, the movie's worldwide total reached ₹108.25 Cr. Given the reported production and marketing budget estimated between ₹100 Cr and ₹130 Cr, the film fell significantly short of the recovery required to be classified as a hit. While the Valentine's Day opening provided a temporary boost, the lack of sustained momentum in the following weeks suggests that the niche treatment of the subject failed to capture the mass audience. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   This underwhelming box office response has prompted a candid reflection from Vishal Bhardwaj himself. In a recent interaction with PTI, the filmmaker voiced his concerns about the current state of Indian cinema, describing it as a very strange and difficult stage of filmmaking. He highlighted a frustrating new demarcation in the industry where producers often label content-driven scripts as OTT subjects, while streaming platforms conversely refuse to acquire them unless they have a prior theatrical release to establish brand value. Bhardwaj lamented that good films are getting beaten in the process of this tug-of-war, making it nearly impossible for cinema of the heart to survive the current distribution model. Beyond the lead pair of Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri, the film featured a powerhouse supporting cast including Avinash Tiwary, Tamannaah Bhatia, and Nana Patekar, which added significant weight to the narrative. While critics generally praised the technical finesse and Bhardwaj's signature atmospheric storytelling, the commercial struggle of O Romeo serves as a stark reminder of the challenges facing medium-to-high budget dramas in an era dominated by event spectacles.With its digital release expected soon, industry experts suggest the film may find better engagement on streaming platforms, which often cater more effectively to specialized, story-driven content.

Mumbai, March 13 - Even before hitting the big screens, Ranveer Singh-fronted Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has begun its record-breaking journey at the box office. Aditya Dhar's directorial has created the record for the biggest paid premiere day at the Indian box office, beating Pawan Kalyan's They Call Him OG. Released in September last year, OG had its domestic premiere on September 24, on which the film scored a huge 25+ crores gross. The record no longer belongs to the Telugu biggie as Dhurandhar has beaten it with five days still left for the premiere shows to begin, which will kick off on March 18 from 5 PM. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The spy action thriller has topped 25+ crores advance sales (29+ crores with block seats) for the premiere, which effectively makes it the record premiere grosser in India. As per trade projections, the sequel is heading towards 35+ crores gross premiere in India, a record which is expected to remain unshakable for some time. The demand from Dhurandhar 2 is hitting the roof, not just in India but in overseas markets also. In North America, the film has already scored nearly $2 million in pre-sales for the opening day. The overall advance sales of the movie are nearly 50 crores worldwide for day 1, despite the sales not opening in India beyond the premieres. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Produced by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, Dhurandhar: The Revenge is the second part of Dhurandhar, which was released in December last year and went to become a box office juggernaut with over 1300 crores gross worldwide collection. Trade is expecting the sequel to beat its predecessor's lifetime numbers within two weeks, which is unprecedented and remains to be seen. Stay tuned...

Mumbai, March 18 - Ranveer Singh's highly anticipated action spectacle Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is shaping up to deliver one of the biggest openings in the history of Indian cinema. Based on the current booking trends and trade estimates, the film is now targeting a 200 crore worldwide opening day, including paid premieres. Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar 2's worldwide advance sales for the opening day have already crossed 100 crore gross, and this includes 42 crore gross (without block seats) for the domestic premiere alone. The strong pre-sales momentum indicates massive demand both in India and overseas markets ahead of its release. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to current trends, the film could record 45+ crore gross from paid premieres in India alone. Combined with the already strong international advances, the total worldwide collections from premieres alone could reach around 65+ crore even before the full opening day begins. On the first full day (March 19), Dhurandhar 2 is expected to target 100+ crore gross in India. The overall domestic opening day might climb to around 150 crore gross, which would be unprecedented for a Hindi film. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Meanwhile, overseas markets are also expected to contribute heavily. The film could earn around 50 crore or more from international territories on opening day, led by strong pre-sales in North America. If these projections materialise, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge could deliver a historic 200 crore worldwide opening day, becoming the first Bollywood film ever to reach that milestone on Day 1 and setting a new benchmark for Hindi cinema at the global box office. Seeing the current trend in pre-sales, a 200 crore opening looks well within sight. Practically, there is no major competition for the movie, except in Telugu states, where Pawan Kalyan's Ustaad Bhagat Singh will be dominating the screens. However, a capacity issue might restrict the film from scoring a double century, which needs to be seen. Stay tuned...

Despite emerging as the highest-grossing Bollywood film of all time, the Ranveer Singh-starrer Dhurandhar could have achieved a significantly higher commercial peak had it targeted the South Indian markets with a localized release strategy. In a recent interaction with Variety India, actor Allu Sirish, who is now actively involved in his father Allu Aravind’s production house, highlighted the missed revenue potential caused by the lack of a Telugu-dubbed version for the first installment. Reflecting on the theatrical run of Dhurandhar and Chhaava, Sirish noted that while both films were well-received, they lacked the proactive pan-India approach seen with Ranbir Kapoor's Animal. He explained that while the Hindi audience has consistently endorsed Telugu cinema, the South Indian audience is equally receptive to Hindi content, provided it is made accessible. Sirish pointed out that for Chhaava, a Telugu release was only initiated a month after its original debut following a conversation between his father and the producers, by which time the film had already lost its initial momentum. The actor emphasized that Hindi studios should look toward the playbook established by films like Jawan and Animal to maximize their box office footprint. According to trade data cited by Sirish, South India's contribution to an all-India net collection typically ranges between 15% and 18%. However, for a film like Jawan, which was aggressively marketed and dubbed in regional languages, that contribution surged to between 28% and 31%. He argued that the absence of a Telugu dub for Dhurandhar was a significant oversight in terms of both reaching new eyeballs and increasing the film's overall business. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   Sirish further dismissed the idea of regional bias, characterizing it as internet noise and stating that modern audiences are primarily concerned with the quality of content rather than its language of origin. He urged Hindi filmmakers to treat regional releases as a core strategy rather than a secondary activity, noting that the success of the Telugu version of Animal proved there is a sizable market ready for Hindi content when delivered appropriately. Correcting the strategy for the upcoming sequel, the makers of Dhurandhar: The Revenge have reportedly confirmed a full-scale pan-India release. Unlike the first part, the sequel will debut in multiple dubbed languages, including Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, and Malayalam. This shift in distribution is expected to significantly bolster the film's opening weekend figures in the Southern territories when it hits screens on March 19, 2026.

Mumbai, March 12 - Ranveer Singh-fronted spy action thriller Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has crossed a massive 50 crore in worldwide advance bookings for its opening weekend, before 7 days of its theatrical release, signalling one of the biggest openings for a Bollywood film in recent times. Aditya Dhar's directed sequel has generated extraordinary hype ahead of its March 19 release, with paid preview shows scheduled a day earlier on March 18. The film sold over four lakh tickets in India for premiere shows, reflecting strong audience demand across multiplexes and single screens. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) As of now, Dhurandhar 2 has grossed around 21.50 crore in India for its March 18 premiere, while overseas markets, especially North America, have contributed heavily to the advance sales. The overseas pre-sales for the entire opening weekend are around 35 crores, including around 27 crores from North America alone. The combined worldwide pre-sales of the film are already around 56+ crore. The advance sales abroad have already surpassed the opening weekend numbers of the first Dhurandhar, indicating much bigger global anticipation for the sequel. The film is not in a position to comfortably cross 100 crore pre-sales globally, with some projections even suggesting it could finish above 150 crore, as full-fledged booking in India is yet to open.

Pixar Animation Studios has achieved a significant milestone with its latest original feature, Hoppers. The film launched globally with an impressive $88 million opening weekend, comfortably surpassing previous industry projections. This performance is a major breakthrough for the studio, as it marks the biggest opening weekend for an original animated film since the 2017 hit Coco. In a theatrical landscape recently dominated by franchises and sequels, Hoppers has proven that original concepts still carry significant drawing power. The global launch was led by a solid performance in the domestic market (North America), where the film collected $46 million. International territories contributed another $42 million to the opening tally, bringing the total worldwide gross to $88 million. In India, the film saw a steady start, recording a rough gross collection of approximately ₹3.50 crore over its first four days days. While modest compared to established IPs, the steady footfall suggests a positive reception among urban family audiences in the country. The success of Hoppers comes at a critical juncture for Pixar. Following the pandemic-era decision to release Soul, Luca, and Turning Red directly to Disney+, the studio faced a period of brand dilution and mixed theatrical results with titles like Lightyear and Elio. However, after Inside Out 2 became the studio's highest-grossing film of all time in 2024, Pixar CCO Pete Docter announced a shift toward clear mass appeal storytelling. Hoppers appears to be the first major beneficiary of this pivot, balancing high-concept technology with the broad, accessible humor that defines modern animation. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   Directed by Daniel Chong—the creator of the hit series We Bare Bears—and produced by Nicole Paradis Grindle, the film centers on a young animal lover named Mabel. Using a groundbreaking mind-transfer technology, Mabel hops her consciousness into a realistic robotic beaver to infiltrate the animal kingdom and save them from a local threat. The voice cast features Piper Curda as Mabel, Bobby Moynihan as George the robotic beaver, and Jon Hamm as an ambitious Mayor who serves as the story's antagonist. As Pixar continues to navigate an identity crisis in a post-Spider-Verse world, the commercial success of Hoppers offers a ray of hope for the studio's future original slate. With positive audience word-of-mouth and a strong debut, the film is expected to maintain steady legs throughout the spring. Sustaining this momentum will be crucial in establishing a balance between the studio's autobiographical roots and its current focus on broad commercial viability.
