Mumbai, February 25 - It has been a quiet February for Bollywood in terms of box office, as most of the films released this month have failed to make any impact and attract audiences in cinemas. Things aren't looking any better till March 19, when Dhurandhar 2 and Toxic will arrive, but something might happen in between that no one is betting on. Coming this Friday (February 27), there is the release of the controversial film The Kerala Story 2, which has been a subject of heated debate across social media platforms and in television discussions. The sequel to 2023's blockbuster film is releasing amid zero expectations, but it might spring a surprise no one is expecting, just like its predecessor. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The Kerala Story 2 has generated massive attention due to its subject matter. Unlike a typical big-ticket film, it does not rely on star power or marketing. The pre-release traction for the film is fuelled by curiosity and strong opinions on both sides, where a section of the audience views the film as an extension of a hard-hitting narrative, while others have criticised it heavily, calling it provocative and divisive. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The original film, released amid the massive controvery and zero expectations two years back, was a big blockbuster after taking the opening of eight crore plus net. Normally, sequels of successful films do well at the box office, but the same can't be said for a film like Kerala Story, whose primary audience is not the one who watches cinema on a regular basis; hence, it is hard to predict what the opening could be. Such films, however, do carry the surprise element, as we have seen with the first film. Advance buzz indicates that curiosity-driven viewers may turn up in good numbers on Day 1, despite the backlash. Trade is largely mute on The Kerala Story 2, but suggests that the film could see a decent opening in the range of five crores net or more. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The future of the film's box office, again, depends on how much the audience can connect to it. Sustaining momentum beyond the opening day will largely depend on audience feedback and word of mouth, which could swing either way sharply. Going into its release, The Kerala Story 2 stands as one of the most unpredictable box office contenders of the year, because it is that kind of film where if it works, it's a lottery, and if it doesn't, that's fine.

Rani Mukerji's powerhouse performance in Mardaani 3 continues to resonate with the audience as the film enters the final leg of its fourth week. On its 26th day (4th Tuesday), the film maintained a rock-steady hold at the box office, earning an estimated ₹ 0.25 Crore net in India. This performance is particularly impressive as it showed a 0% fluctuation compared to its 4th Monday, indicating that the film has reached a point of stability where it is drawing a consistent niche audience despite the arrival of newer titles. With this latest collection, Mardaani 3 has achieved a monumental milestone by officially becoming the highest-grossing film in the entire Mardaani franchise. The film's total India net collection now stands at ₹ 48.2 Crore, comfortably surpassing the lifetime earnings of both the original Mardaani and its 2019 sequel, Mardaani 2. This achievement solidifies the series as one of the most successful and consistent female-led action franchises in Indian cinema, with each installment showing growth in its box office potential. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   The success of Mardaani 3 also marks a significant career high for Rani Mukerji. The film has now emerged as her second-highest-grossing film of all time in a leading role, trailing only behind the 2012 psychological thriller Talaash, which netted ₹ 93 Crore. By outperforming her other major hits, this film reaffirms Rani's status as a box office draw who can carry gritty, social-commentary-driven thrillers to commercial success on her own shoulders. On the global front, the film has crossed several key benchmarks. The worldwide collection of Mardaani 3 has reached ₹ 71.6 Crore, supported by a healthy contribution from international markets. While the India gross collection stands at ₹ 57.1 Crore, the overseas market has contributed a steady ₹ 14.5 Crore. The film's ability to find takers in the international circuit has played a crucial role in pushing its total earnings well beyond the ₹ 70 Crore mark globally. As the film concludes its 26th day, the focus now shifts to whether it can cross the ₹ 50 Crore net mark in the Indian market. Given its current trajectory and the steady hold on weekdays, the film is expected to continue its slow but sure crawl toward this milestone. For Yash Raj Films, Mardaani 3 stands as a major victory, proving that strong characters and compelling storytelling continue to be a winning formula at the box office.

Mumbai, February 25 - Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar: The Revenge is being widely discussed in trade circles as a potential history-maker at the box office. There are genuine chances that Part 2 of the spy actioner might become the first Bollywood film to open with 100 crore gross domestically, a feat no Hindi film has achieved so far. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The buzz around the film is on the all time high, driven by the massive success of the first part, which was released just a couple of months back and is still playing in theatres. According to early trade projections, the Hindi version of Dhurandhar 2 is expected to open in the range of 80 crore gross (+/-70 crore net) or more. What makes Dhurandhar 2's box-office potential even stronger is the fact that, unlike the first film, it will also be released in multiple dubbed languages. The anticipation in non-Hindi markets is notably high, and trade believes the dubbed versions could play a crucial role in pushing the opening-day numbers to record levels. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) While it remains to be seen how big the overall impact will be, the film is expected to perform very well in dubbed versions. Even though the opening day numbers of Dhurandhar 2 will still be super high, its chances of 100 crores opening will depend on how it performs in Telugu states, where it is locked in for a box-office clash with Ustaad Bhagat Singh, headlined by Pawan Kalyan. Had Dhurandhar 2 arrived as a solo release (mostly a solo release except in Telugu states), it is believed that a 100 crore gross opening would have been a cakewalk, but now, it might have to push a little harder as UBS will be the first choice in the Telugu belt. All eyes are now on March 19 as Dhurandhar 2 eyes a historic feat no other Bollywood film could achieve before. Stay tuned...

Anurag Singh's Border 2 remains a force to be reckoned with at the Indian box office. Entering its 33rd day, the film has shown remarkable hold. According to rough early estimates, the movie collected ₹ 0.34 Crore on its fifth Tuesday. This takes the total India net collection to approximately ₹ 326.88 Crore, further solidifying its status as a blockbuster in the war-drama genre. The film's financial journey is particularly impressive given its massive scale. Produced on a significant budget of ₹ 275 Crore, Border 2 faced the challenge of high recovery. However, the film successfully crossed its break-even point within the first three weeks and earned a return on investment (ROI) of over ₹ 80 Crore within just 28 days. The steady performance during the weekdays of the fourth and fifth weeks has ensured a healthy profit margin for the makers and distributors. Historically, Border 2 has become a landmark film for its actors. It now stands as the second-highest-grossing film for Sunny Deol, positioned right behind the historic Gadar 2. For Varun Dhawan and Ahan Shetty, the movie has rewritten their career records, emerging as the highest-grossing film for both actors. The film's worldwide gross has now surged past the ₹ 445 Crore mark, driven by strong performance in the domestic market and a decent contribution from overseas territories. Border 2 Box Office Collection Summary CATEGORY COLLECTION (ESTIMATED) India Net Collection ₹ 326.88 Cr India Gross Collection ₹ 389.10 Cr Overseas Collection ₹ 57.25 Cr Worldwide Total ₹ 446.69 Cr (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   In a fascinating comparison with Sunny Deol's previous historic blockbuster, Gadar 2, which collected ₹ 0.6 Cr on its 40th day (6th Tuesday), Border 2 is showing a similar steady trajectory. While Border 2 earned ₹ 0.34 Cr on its 33rd day, its ability to maintain such figures deep into its fifth week proves that the film still has strong legs at the box office, mirroring the legendary long-run trend of the Gadar sequel. Border 2 Recent Day-wise Collection (India Net) DAY NUMBER COLLECTION (NET) WEEK/DAY Day 29 ₹ 0.30 Cr 5th Friday Day 30 ₹ 0.55 Cr 5th Saturday Day 31 ₹ 0.70 Cr 5th Sunday Day 32 ₹ 0.30 Cr 5th Monday Day 33 ₹ 0.34 Cr* 5th Tuesday (Rough Data) Directed by Anurag Singh and produced by Bhushan Kumar and Nidhi Dutta, Border 2 serves as the long-awaited sequel to the 1997 classic. The film portrays the valor of the Indian Armed Forces and features an ensemble cast including Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Ahan Shetty, and Diljit Dosanjh. Its success is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Border brand combined with modern-day high-octane action choreography.

Mumbai, February 21 - There was no respite for the Hindi box office this Friday as Do Deewane Seher Mein and Assi have both registered a low start at the domestic box office, with opening day collections falling short of even low trade expectations. Despite featuring known actors, neither film managed to draw strong footfalls on its first Friday. Starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Mrunal Thakur, Do Deewane Seher Mein opened slightly ahead in the clash, earning around 1.25 crore net on Day 1. However, the romantic drama struggled with low occupancy across major urban centres, indicating limited audience pull beyond select multiplex pockets. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) On the other hand, Taapsee Pannu's courtroom drama Assi fared marginally lower, collecting around 1 crore net on its opening day. While the film received attention for its subject-driven narrative, the serious tone and muted promotions appeared to restrict its reach among mass audiences on the first day. Overall, the poor opening day performance of both films points to a slow Friday at the Hindi box office. The initial word of mouth seems to be ok, particularly for Assi, with the limited awareness among the audience and the subject of the film is a big disadvantage. A big weekend growth will be crucial if Do Deewane Seher Mein and Assi hope to recover in the coming days, as their opening numbers have left little room for error going forward. Stay tuned...

The promotional engine for one of 2026's most anticipated sequels has officially shifted into high gear. According to an exclusive report by Pinkvilla, the makers of the Ranveer Singh-led action spectacle Dhurandhar 2 are slated to unveil the first official trailer in the first week of March, with internal sources pointing toward a March 5 launch date. This strategic timing serves as the primary buildup for the film's grand theatrical release during the Eid 2026 window, effectively positioning the sequel as a cornerstone event for the global box office this spring. Industry insiders who have been granted early previews of the trailer report a significant escalation in scale, world-building, and emotional intensity compared to the first installment. The sequel reportedly expands the narrative into unexplored territories, yet the focal point of the footage remains Ranveer Singh's radical transformation into the King of Lyari. Early internal reactions emphasize Singh's commanding screen presence and the physical gravitas he brings to this evolved version of his character, which trade experts suggest will be a major catalyst in driving mass ticket sales upon release. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   The immense anticipation for the sequel is anchored by the record-breaking commercial performance of its predecessor, which redefined box office benchmarks. Dhurandhar concluded its theatrical run as a certified global juggernaut, amassing a lifetime India net collection of ₹838.5 crore. The film made history by crossing the prestigious ₹1000 crore milestone in domestic gross alone (₹1005.85 crore), bolstered by a robust overseas contribution of ₹299.5 crore. Even in its late stages, the film displayed exceptional longevity, collecting ₹0.72 crore in its tenth week and ₹0.18 crore in its eleventh, ultimately pushing its cumulative worldwide total to a staggering ₹1305.35 crore. This unprecedented success has established a formidable commercial threshold, fueling expectations for the sequel to perform as a top-tier global earner. The decision to launch the trailer in early March aligns with a massive marketing blitz designed to dominate the lucrative festive holiday period starting March 20. While the original Dhurandhar established the gritty foundations of this action universe, the sequel aims to surpass those benchmarks through high-octane sequences and a more complex narrative arc. This release sets the stage for a significant box-office showdown, as Dhurandhar 2 is currently scheduled to clash with Yash's period gangster epic Toxic, making the March 2026 frame one of the most competitive windows for Indian cinema in recent years.

Mumbai, February 20 - The inevitability of a box office clash between Dhurandhar: The Revenge and Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups has sparked intense debate within trade circles and on social media. While clashes often generate short-term buzz, in this case, the risk is far bigger than the hype as both blockbusters are ready to lock horns on March 19. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Dhurandhar 2 arrives after the historic success of the first part that rewrote box office records and established itself as one of the highest-grossing Indian films of all time. The film doesn't just carry hype; it carries legacy and enormous trade expectations to deliver even bigger numbers. While the box office has always been uncertain, Dhurandhar 2 almost carries the assurance of delivering the big numbers. On the other hand, Toxic comes at a crucial phase in pan-India cinema. The film is expected to be darker, showcasing a more intense narrative, while consolidating Yash's position as a national superstar. With its period setting, stylised violence, and grand vision, Toxic is being developed as an event film that demands scale, space, and uninterrupted audience attention. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Here's why releasing these two mega projects together would be a strategic misstep. Event Films Are Meant to Arrive Solo, Not in a Clash Event films are designed to be cultural moments, not just weekend releases. When a film is positioned as an event, it demands exclusivity of screens, attention, and audience time. Releasing two event films together defeats the very purpose of event cinema. Same Core Audience, Divided Footfalls Both films are large-scale action spectacles, primarily targeting mass audiences across pan-India. A simultaneous release would split the same audience base, forcing viewers to choose one film over the other. Instead of amplifying collections, this division would lead to avoidable revenue loss, especially during the crucial opening weekend when big films generate the bulk of their earnings. Pan-India Scale Needs Undivided Screens Dhurandhar 2 arrives with a clear advantage of a historic predecessor, while Toxic is being positioned as a full-fledged pan-India event. In such a scenario, screens, be they premium or single, become a battlefield. A clash would mean reduced show counts and compromised screen allocation for both films, directly impacting box office potential. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Clash Helps Neither Producers Nor Exhibitors From a trade perspective, clashes of this magnitude rarely benefit anyone. Exhibitors struggle with show distribution, distributors face inconsistent collections, and producers risk delayed break-even, especially given the massive cost involved. History has shown that when two giants collide, both end up underperforming relative to their true potential. Separate Releases Can Create a Box Office Wave If spaced even by a couple of weeks, Dhurandhar 2 and Toxic could generate back-to-back box office storms, sustaining audience interest and footfalls over a longer period. Rather than one overcrowded weekend, the industry could enjoy an extended golden run, benefiting theatres, trade, and audiences alike. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) A clash between Dhurandhar 2 and Toxic would be a lose-lose situation, especially for distributors and exhibitors. Both films are built as event cinema, deserving exclusive attention, uninterrupted screens, and clear breathing space. Avoiding a clash isn't just smart, it's essential to unlocking the full box office potential of two of the most anticipated Indian films in recent years. Stay tuned...

Director Bejoy Nambiar's survival thriller Tu Yaa Main has concluded its first week at the box office with a quiet performance, impacted by limited star pull and heavy competition for screen space with the concurrent release O'Romeo. Since its debut on February 13, 2026, the film has netted ₹4.45 crore domestically over its initial seven-day run. The survival drama faced significant challenges in securing prime showtimes as a substantial portion of theatrical capacity was shared with O'Romeo, leaving Tu Yaa Main with a restricted footprint in major circuits. The film's box office trajectory was largely defined by a massive surge on its first Saturday. After debuting with a quiet ₹0.6 crore on Friday, Tu Yaa Main witnessed a staggering 141.67% jump to collect ₹1.45 crore on Day 2. While Sunday saw a typical stabilization at ₹0.8 crore, the movie managed to maintain a consistent run during the weekdays, adding roughly ₹1.6 crore between Monday and Thursday. By the end of its first week, the film recorded total footfalls of approximately 229,118, translating to a worldwide gross collection of ₹5.25 crore. Starring Adarsh Gourav as Maruti Kadam (aka Aala Flowpara) and Shanaya Kapoor as Avani Shah (aka Miss Vanity), the movie adapts the 2018 Thai horror-thriller The Pool.The plot explores the high-stakes world of social media influencers who find themselves trapped in an abandoned swimming pool with a rogue crocodile.Critics have praised the lead duo for their authentic performances, particularly the chemistry between Gourav's gritty rapper persona and Kapoor's stylized influencer character.
