Hyderabad, January 8 - Pan India superstar Prabhas-fronted The Raja Saab has excellent pre-sales at the worldwide box office for the opening day, despite a late start and without a key territory, Telangana. The romantic horror-comedy has crossed 50 crore in worldwide pre-sales, which is superb. Advance bookings of the film, especially in Andhra Pradesh, are superb, driven by premiere sales which are 10+ crore. Overseas markets too have seen good momentum on the last day and clocked nearly 22 crores in sales for day 1+premieres. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The achievement becomes even more remarkable as Telangana remains excluded due to ticket pricing and regulatory issues. The pre-sales, however, are not that good in the Hindi belt, which has deliverd consistant good results for past Prabhas-starrers. Directed by Maruthi, The Raja Saab marks Prabhas' return to a fun, mass-friendly genre blending romance, horror, and comedy. With bookings closing on a strong note, expectations are high for a huge opening day worldwide, as the film heads into release backed by solid momentum and strong audience anticipation.

The Indian Motion Picture Producers’ Association (IMPPA) has officially reached out to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, seeking his immediate intervention to lift the ban on the blockbuster spy thriller Dhurandhar across six Gulf nations. In a formal letter dated January 7, 2026, the producers' body termed the ban a suppression of the freedom of expression, especially since the film has already been cleared by India’s Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and has emerged as a historic success. The appeal follows reports that authorities in the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, and Saudi Arabia have restricted the film's release.The ban is reportedly due to the film's sensitive geopolitical plot, which follows Indian covert intelligence operations set against the backdrop of real-life terror events such as the 26/11 Mumbai attacks and the IC-814 hijacking. Despite its massive global popularity, Gulf censors have allegedly flagged the content as having anti-Pakistan messaging, a claim the filmmakers and IMPPA have moved to challenge through diplomatic channels. Massive Financial Setback: ₹90 Crore Lost. Directed by Uri fame Aditya Dhar and starring Ranveer Singh, Dhurandhar has emerged as an All Time Blockbuster, recently entering the elite ₹1,200 crore club worldwide. While it is currently nearing the all-time Hindi net record set by Pushpa 2: The Rule, the film has already cemented its place as one of the biggest Indian grossers in history. As per the latest reports, the film has amassed a Worldwide gross of ₹1228 Cr, with an India Net of ₹786 Cr, India Gross of ₹943 Cr, and Overseas collections reaching ₹285 Cr. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   However, despite these historic numbers, the lack of a Middle Eastern release—a traditional stronghold for Indian action films—has caused a significant financial dent.Overseas distributor Pranab Kapadia estimated that the ban across six Gulf countries has resulted in a loss of nearly $10 million (approx. ₹90 crore) from that market alone. IMPPA President Abhay Sinha emphasized in the letter to the Prime Minister that these are India-friendly countries with whom India shares robust economic and cultural ties, making the unilateral ban even more unexpected. The letter, which was also copied to Minister of External Affairs S. Jaishankar and I&B Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, urges the Government of India to engage with the respective authorities to ensure that artistic freedom is respected. Dhurandhar features an ensemble cast including Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal, portraying a high-octane operation set in Karachi's Lyari area. As the film continues its record-breaking run in North America and India, the industry remains hopeful that government-level dialogue will allow the millions of Indian expats in the Middle East to finally watch the film on the big screen.

Mumbai, January 8 - The year 2025 was a landmark for IMAX, which officially delivered the best year in its history, setting a new record at the global box office in 2025. The premium large-format exhibitor earned a massive $1.28 billion worldwide, marking a 40% jump over 2024 and underlining the growing audience demand for immersive, event-scale theatrical experiences. The milestone year was powered by a strong and diverse slate of blockbuster releases, spanning Hollywood tentpoles, animation, anime, and international hits. From high-octane action spectacles to visually rich fantasy films, IMAX continued to position itself as the go-to format for must-see cinema. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Leading the record-breaking year for IMAX was China's Ne Zha 2, which emerged as the year's highest-grossing IMAX title with $167 million. James Cameron's Avatar: Fire and Ash reaffirmed the franchise's dominance on the premium screens with $112 million, while F1: The Movie, Mission: Impossible, and Demon Slayer delivered strong results with nearly $100 million each. IMAX continues to expand its market, and the 40% year-over-year growth highlights its expanding global footprint and the increasing willingness of audiences to pay for premium theatrical experiences. With filmmakers continuing to design movies specifically for IMAX and audiences prioritising big-screen immersion, 2025 stands as a landmark year for the brand. Stay tuned...

Hyderabad, January 8 - Pan India superstar Prabhas' much-anticipated film The Raja Saab is showing encouraging signs at the overseas box office as advance bookings gain momentum just ahead of its grand premiere. After a slow start, the film has witnessed a noticeable spike in ticket sales across key international markets, signalling growing audience interest as the release date draws closer. According to the latest update, The Raja Saab has crossed the $1.70+ million mark and should close in at $2 million in overseas bookings for its opening day and premiere shows. The surge has been driven largely by good last-minute traction in North America, where pre-sales have crossed $1 million. The USA and Canada together account for a major chunk of the pre-sales, with premieres alone contributing a substantial share of the total. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Apart from North America, the pre-sales have also started moving well in markets such as the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and the Gulf. The film's genre, a blend of horror and comedy, appears to be striking a chord with the diaspora audience, especially as promotional content and on-ground buzz intensify ahead of release. The postponement of Thalapathy Vijay's Jana Nayagan, which scored excellent pre-sales before dropping out, is proving to be beneficial for The Raja Saab, as more prime shows are now being allotted to it, especially in North America. The upward trend suggests that the film could see a strong walk-up response if early word of mouth turns positive. Directed by Maruthi as a mass entertainer with a horror twist, The Raja Saab is set to hit screens worldwide with premiere shows beginning on January 8, followed by a full-fledged theatrical release on January 9, 2026. With bookings picking up pace at the right time, all eyes are now on how the film performs once audiences step into theatres. Stay tuned...

Actress Yami Gautam Dhar is on a roll. Fresh off the critical acclaim of her recent courtroom drama, actress Yami Gautam has now been locked to lead a new project that marks a significant shift in genre. According to an exclusive report by Mid-day, Gautam is set to headline a horror-comedy titled Nayi Naveli, produced by Aanand L Rai's Colour Yellow Productions.The film is reportedly inspired by Indian folklore and is scheduled to go on floors in February 2026. Yami Gautam has carved a niche for herself as a bankable performer who balances content-driven cinema with commercial viability. Her most recent theatrical outing, the courtroom drama Haq (released in November 2025), saw her deliver a powerhouse performance that earned widespread praise.The film, which dealt with complex legal and social issues, managed to gross approximately ₹29 crore worldwide during its theatrical run before becoming a massive hit on OTT platforms earlier this month.This follows her 2024 film Article 370, which was a certified hit at the box office, collecting over ₹100 crore globally, further cementing her status as a leading lady who can carry a film on her shoulders. The announcement of Nayi Naveli comes at a time when Aanand L Rai is riding high on the success of Tere Ishk Mein (2025).The film, which saw the filmmaker reunite with superstar Dhanush, was a certified hit at the box office, grossing over ₹161 crore worldwide.However, trade analysts believe the film's lifetime potential was significantly curtailed by the release of the action-blockbuster Dhurandhar, which arrived just a week later. The massive wave generated by Dhurandhar led to a substantial loss of screens and a 35% dip in collections for Tere Ishk Mein; without this crushing competition, the romantic drama was on track to hit much higher benchmarks. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   Following this resilient performance, the formidable actor-director duo is now reportedly gearing up for their fourth collaboration.Industry buzz suggests that this next project will be a large-scale period action romance, marking a significant departure for the pair as they explore an entirely new territory of historical storytelling and grand production scale. By roping in Yami Gautam for Nayi Naveli, Rai is looking to blend rooted Indian storytelling with the fantasy-folklore elements that are currently dominating the Indian silver screen. The choice of genre for Nayi Naveli is no surprise given the current climate of the Indian box office. Horror-comedy has emerged as the most lucrative genre in Bollywood over the last two years. Following the historic success of the Stree franchise and the surprising box office performance of films like Munjya and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, producers are increasingly looking toward rooted horror that combines local myths with humor. From a box office perspective, this genre has shown the highest Return on Investment (ROI) in recent times, often drawing massive footfalls in both urban centers and Tier-2/Tier-3 markets. With Yami Gautam's proven track record and Aanand L Rai's knack for capturing the pulse of small-town India, Nayi Naveli is already being touted as a project to watch out for in the 2026 release calendar.

Yash Raj Films has acknowledged the historic box office run of Dhurandhar, as the Ranveer Singh-starrer continues its sensational march in theatres. The Aditya Dhar directorial has not only shattered multiple records in its extended run but has now firmly positioned itself as the biggest blockbuster in Hindi cinema history. After completing over a month at the box office, Dhurandhar recently scripted another milestone by delivering the biggest 5th weekend ever for a Hindi film, collecting an impressive ₹33.25 crore net. With this, the film's total net collection has surged past 781 crore in just 33 days, putting it within striking distance of Pushpa 2's all-time Hindi net record. It will cross Pushpa 2's 812 crore net record over its 6th weekend to become the biggest Hindi grosser. Dhurandhar has set a new gold standard for solo-language releases. While other ₹1000-crore club entrants relied on pan-India, multi-language releases to increase their numbers, Ranveer Singh's espionage drama has achieved this gargantuan feat through its Hindi version only, making it a unique record holder in the history of the Indian box office. Director Aditya Dhar has once again proven his mettle in the action-thriller genre. After the massive success of Uri: The Surgical Strike, Dhar has scaled even greater heights with Dhurandhar. Below is a look at his top-performing directorial ventures: Dhurandhar (2025): ₹781.75 Cr+ (India Net - Ongoing) Uri: The Surgical Strike (2019): ₹244.14 Cr (India Net) With just two major releases, Aditya Dhar has become one of the most bankable directors in the country. His ability to blend realistic military/intelligence operations with high-octane commercial cinema has resonated deeply with the Naya Bharat audience. The frenzy surrounding the film isn't stopping anytime soon. The makers have already confirmed Dhurandhar: Part 2 (officially titled Dhurandhar 2: Revenge), which is slated for a grand release on March 19, 2026. However, the path to the box office won't be easy this time. Dhurandhar 2 is set for a massive box office collision with Yash's highly anticipated Pan-India film, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   While Dhurandhar currently rules the charts, one cannot underestimate the box office might of Yash, who essentially redefined the Pan-India phenomenon. Yash's KGF: Chapter 2 (2022) holds the distinction of being the Highest Grossing Indian Film of the Year (HGOTY) for 2022, with a staggering Indian net collection of approximately ₹859.7 Crore and a worldwide gross of ₹ 1,215 crore. Even before the sequel, KGF: Chapter 1 had already set a benchmark as the first Kannada film to cross the ₹250 crore mark worldwide. Yash remains one of the few actors whose films have consistently challenged the dominance of the biggest Bollywood and Tollywood stars, making his upcoming return with Toxic a genuine threat to any record currently standing. Dhurandhar has received praise not just for its box office numbers but for its technical brilliance. Featuring an ensemble cast of Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal, the film gripped audiences despite its massive 214-minute (3 hours and 34 minutes) runtime. As the film continues its legendary run, it currently stands as the 4th highest domestic grosser of all time, sitting just behind Pushpa 2: The Rule, Baahubali 2, and KGF Chapter 2. With the sequel arriving in just a few months, the Dhurandhar mania is only expected to intensify.

Mumbai, January 7 - Ever since the release of Baahubali: The Beginning (2015), Pan-India superstar Prabhas has enjoyed back-to-back multiple successes in Hindi, barring romantic drama Radhe Shyam (2022), which couldn't ignite fire due to various challenges at the time of its release. Upon the goodwill created by Baahubali, Prabhas has consistently (apart from Radhe Shyam) delivered double-digit openings, starting with Baahubali: The Conclusion (2017). The actor's popularity continues to soar outside his core Telugu fanbase, which has made him one of the most bankable stars in the country. While the expectations from his movies always remain high, things might not be the same as before regarding his upcoming film The Raja Saab, which releases on January 9. The romantic horror comedy, which started as a small film between the actor's big-budget tentpoles, has significantly increased in terms of scale and budget, and despite that, it has failed to generate hype in the Hindi market. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The horror comedy genre has its audience, but the makers have been reluctant when it comes to promoting the film in the Hindi market. There is, of course, some buzz on social media, but due to the lack of promotional material, the ground-level hype among the general audience seems to be missing. While the clear idea regarding the buzz will be known once the bookings start, the current prospects aren't that bright and hint at a single-digit start in Hindi. The trade, at the moment, is projecting 5-7 crores net opening, which may vary depending on the booking sales and word of mouth. Also, the holdover film, Dhurandhar, will pose a big challenge for The Raja Saab, as the Ranveer Singh-starrer continues to draw footfalls despite being a month-old title. There will, however, be a Sankranthi holiday advantage for The Raja Saab. Depending on word of mouth, the Maruthi directorial will have the opportunity to make up if the opening remains on the slower side. However, if the movie manages to score better than current projections, it will surely enjoy a good run, as there is no new big Hindi release till Border 2, on January 23. Stay tuned...

The global Indian film industry is bracing for the arrival of Rebel Star Prabhas's latest outing, The Raja Saab. Known for his unprecedented box office pull, Prabhas looks to add another feather to his cap with this horror-romantic comedy. However, as the release date approaches, the film is facing intense competition and scrutiny regarding its marketing strategy and advance booking pace. In the international market, the buzz for The Raja Saab appears to be trailing significantly behind the latest sensation, Jana Nayagan. According to the latest pre-sale figures, Jana Nayagan has amassed a staggering 3.90million(approx.₹35crores)in overseas advance bookings. In contrast, The Raja Saab has collected 1.22 million (approx. ₹11 crores) thus far. While $1.22M is a strong number for most actors, for a Prabhas-starrer, the gap between it and Jana Nayagan has become a point of discussion The Raja Saab has been cleared by the CBFC with a U/A certificate. In a recent development, the makers of The Raja Saab and Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu have approached the Telangana High Court. The petition seeks permission to implement ticket price hikes across the state, citing the massive production budget involved in bringing these spectacles to life. While official advance bookings in India have not yet opened, fans have expressed concerns over the timing of these legal moves and the overall promotional rollout. Despite being under production for three years and requiring the highest number of call sheets from Prabhas in recent times, the promotional campaign has faced criticism. Social media buzz indicates that fans are disappointed with the last minute nature of the marketing. Key complaints include the delayed release of the Nachenache song (originally expected in late December) and the highly anticipated interview between Prabhas and director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, which many felt should have been released earlier to maximize momentum. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   While the current overseas pre-sales for The Raja Saab ($1.22M / ₹11 Cr) face stiff competition from Jana Nayagan, Prabhas's historical box office dominance remains unmatched. He stands as a gargantuan force in Indian cinema with a track record that includes two 1000+ crore movies, four 500+ crore movies, and a total of seven 100+ crore movies, headlined by the monumental ₹1,788 Cr collection of Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. Furthermore, he is the only Indian actor with five films in the elite ₹300Cr+ India Net club ,showcasing an immense pan-India pull that suggests his Box Office King status remains unchallenged despite current market trends.

Chennai, January 6 - Thalapathy Vijay's swan song is heading for a massive start at the worldwide box office, and it seems to be winning the opening day battle against Prabhas' The Raja Saab, which is scheduled to hit the big screens on the same day, on January 9 in multiple languages. With just three days to go before release, the overseas box office battle between Vijay's Jana Nayagan and Prabhas' The Raja Saab is already turning one-sided. The advance booking trends clearly indicate that the Tamil political action drama has taken a commanding lead, setting the stage for a dominant opening overseas. According to the latest trade estimates, Jana Nayagan has crossed $3.5 million (32+ crores) in overseas pre-sales for the opening day alone, including premieres. The Vijay starrer is witnessing exceptional momentum across key international markets, including North America, the UK, and Malaysia. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Jana Nayagan is Vijay's last film before his full-time political entry, and that sentiment seems to be playing a big role in pre-sales. The actor's last few films have done well in pre-sales, but some of the markets are performing much better than on previous occasions. With bookings going strong and three full days remaining, the opening-day overseas figure is expected to climb even higher. On the other hand, The Raja Saab, starring Prabhas and positioned as a romantic horror-comedy entertainer, has so far recorded around $1 million (9 crores) in overseas advance sales for day 1+premieres. While the numbers are decent and show steady growth, they fall significantly short when compared to Jana Nayagan's blistering pace. With $3.5+ million vs $1 million in opening-day pre-sales, Jana Nayagan currently enjoys a lead of more than $2.5 million overseas, a gap that is considered substantial at this stage of the booking window. The Raja Saab will find it difficult, or it can be said that it is almost out of reach for the movie to close this margin before release day. Both films are gearing up for a massive festive release, and final results will ultimately depend on word of mouth, audience reception, and weekend walk-ins. However, going by current trends, Jana Nayagan is firmly placed for a record-breaking overseas opening, while The Raja Saab is expected to rely more on post-release growth. Stay tuned...

Thalapathy Vijay's highly anticipated action thriller, Jana Nayagan, is creating a massive storm at the global box office even before its theatrical debut. With three days still remaining for the grand release, the film has officially surpassed the ₹50 Crore gross mark in worldwide pre-sales, signaling one of the biggest openings for a Tamil film in recent history. The film's performance in Malaysia has been nothing short of historic. Showing unprecedented momentum, Jana Nayagan reportedly eclipsed the pace of Rajinikanth's Coolie within just the first 1 hour and 30 minutes of bookings opening. Currently, after the first 24 hours, the film has sold 90,000+ tickets (grossing RM 2.1M+). While this already makes it the 3rd highest single-day sales of all time in Malaysia, it is now on the verge of overtaking Coolie (95K tickets) to claim the second spot, with Leo (108K tickets) holding the top record. Given the current trajectory, trade analysts expect the film to challenge the #1 position before its premiere.The Film Censorship Board of Malaysia has officially granted the film a '16' certification (suitable for ages 16 and above). In India, the advance booking is off to a flying start, particularly in the Southern states. In Kerala, the film has already amassed ₹2.36 Crore in pre-sales, cementing Vijay's status as a top-tier star in the neighboring state. According to early tracking data, the All-India 1st Day Advance Booking Gross (excluding blocked seats) stands at ₹5.86 Crore, with 202,784 tickets sold across 2,071 shows. When including blocked seats, the figure jumps significantly to ₹8.73 Crore. The average ticket price (ATP) is currently trending at ₹217.

The Madras High Court has taken up a matter regarding the film's censor certificate. The hearing was adjourned today and is set to continue tomorrow.

Jana Nayagan is described as a high-octane political action drama centered on an upright and fearless police inspector. The narrative follows his quest to dismantle a vast and dangerous conspiracy involving an extremist group and a powerful politician—a plot that threatens the very core of Indian democracy.

Hyderabad, January 8 - Pan India superstar Prabhas' romantic horror comedy The Raja Saab is gearing up to hit the big screens on January 9, and there is tremendous excitement among fans and trade alike. Directed by Maruthi, the film has reportedly been made on a massive budget of over 300 crores, which is higher than what was initially planned. The Raja Saab is carrying solid buzz in the trade, and the pre-release business is testament to that. While the overall area wise business details are not known yet, the movie will once again need to score big numbers at the box office to emerge as a box office hit. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to the trade estimates, the film will need to gross over 400 crores worldwide to become a box office hit. In Telugu states, the movie will require a gross of over 225 to break even. As has been the case with Prabhas-starrers, a lot will depend on the Hindi version for overall recovery. Prabhas' films have performed very well in the Hindi market, and the same is expected from The Raja Saab. Over the last decade, Prabhas' films have consistently delivered big results at the box office, irrespective of critics' reviews. While the stakes for the actor's films have increased multifold, he is somewhat of a box office guarantee, which makes his films a safe bet for producers. Stay tuned...
