Deool Band 2 Day 26 BoxOffice : Film earns 68.72 crore net needing over 2 crore to beat Raja Shivaji's Marathi net

BY SACNILK

Deool Band 2 is currently in its fourth week of release and continues to show impressive longevity at the box office. On its 26th day, which fell on a Monday, the film saw a typical weekday dip, recording an India net collection of 0.50 crore. This represents a 72.2% drop from Sunday's 1.80 crore. With 879 shows running on Monday, the film has brought its total India net collection to 68.72 crore, with the total India gross reaching 80.75 crore. The film's performance is particularly noteworthy when we look at the all-time rankings in Marathi cinema. Deool Band 2 is currently chasing a major milestone: becoming the third highest-grossing Marathi film of all time in terms of net collections. It is currently just over 2 crore away from overtaking the Marathi net of Raja Shivaji, which stands at 70.98 crore. While Raja Shivaji had a much higher total across all languages and global markets due to its multi-language release, Deool Band 2 is competing purely on its Marathi strength. Surpassing Raja Shivaji's worldwide total of 117.92 crore is out of reach, but the Marathi net record is well within its grasp.

It kicked off with a massive 30.20 crore in its first week, followed by 22.40 crore in the second week, and a solid 11.15 crore in the third week. Even as it enters the later stages of its theatrical run, the film is still pulling in audiences in key regions like Mumbai and Pune.

While the weekday numbers are naturally lower, the film has shown a tendency to jump significantly over the weekends. If it manages to maintain this pace, we could see Deool Band 2 cement its place in the top three within the next week. With a worldwide gross of 80.17 crore and no signs of stopping just yet, this devotional drama has proven to be a massive success for the Marathi film industry.

Drishyam 3 Day 26 Box Office: Needs 2 Crore more to surpass Manjummel Boys and become 3rd highest grossing movie of all time globally

BY SACNILK

Drishyam 3 is now in its fourth week and is clearly showing signs of slowing down as its theatrical run nears a conclusion. On its 26th day, which was a Monday, the numbers took a dip with the film recording an India gross of 0.25 crore and a net collection of 0.22 crore. This brings the cumulative India gross to 127.29 crore and the net total to 109.75 crore. This downward trend is expected, especially since the film is set for its digital debut on June 18 via Amazon Prime Video, which naturally shifts the audience focus toward home viewing. The film has been a massive powerhouse in the international market, which has significantly boosted its global standing. The overseas gross has now reached ₹111.70 crore. When combined with the domestic earnings, Drishyam 3 stands at a worldwide gross of ₹238.99 crore. It is now inches away from a massive milestone: the film needs just about ₹2 crore more to surpass Manjummel Boys (₹241.03 crore) and become the third highest-grossing Malayalam movie of all time globally. Given the current pace, it seems very likely to achieve this feat within its fifth weekend. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In its home state, Drishyam 3 has achieved a massive milestone by becoming the fourth-highest-grossing film of all time in Kerala. Within just 26 days, the movie has amassed a staggering gross of 89.53 crore, officially overtaking the lifetime collections of the 2018 movie. It is now positioned among the elite club of Kerala's biggest hits. Here is the current standing of the top five all-time grossers in the state: 1. Vaazha II: Biopic of a Billion Bros – 127.68 cr 2. Lokah: Chapter 1 – 120.85 Cr 3. Thudarum – 118.90 Cr 4. Drishyam 3 – 89.53 Cr 5. 2018 – 88.31 Cr If it reaches the top three, it will only be trailing behind industry titans like Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra and L2: Empuraan. The journey so far has been incredibly consistent, with a huge opening week of ₹81.95 crore, followed by ₹20.68 crore in the second week and ₹5.35 crore in the third week. Even in its fourth week, the Sunday jump to ₹0.67 crore gross showed that the family audience is still turning up at the theaters.

During the fourth-week Monday, the three major chains—PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis—combined for only about 190 ticket sales, bringing in a total gross of 0.47 lakh. Looking at the individual numbers, Cinepolis contributed the most with 120 tickets and a gross of 0.30 lakh. PVR saw around 60 tickets sold with a gross of 0.15 lakh, while INOX recorded a negligible 10 tickets, adding just 0.02 lakh to the total. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film's popularity is also evident in its final ticket sales on BookMyShow for movies released from 2024 onwards.

Drishyam 3: 3.92M The state-wise gross breakdown for Day 26 shows that Kerala remains the heart of the collection, adding ₹0.30 crore to the daily total. Karnataka contributed ₹0.01 crore, while collections in other regions were minimal on the working Monday. With a total of 60,795 shows performed so far, Drishyam 3 has proven to be a global phenomenon for Mollywood. All eyes are now on the next few days to see if it can claim the third spot before its theatrical run ends.

Karuppu Day 32 Box Office: Surprising Hold After OTT Release; Needs Under 3 Crore for the 200 Crore Net Milestone

BY SACNILK

Karuppu is now in its fifth week of release, and the film is still pulling in numbers despite arriving on OTT this past Friday. While digital releases often slow down theater attendance, the movie recorded a gross of ₹0.23 crore on its 32nd day, with the net collection at ₹0.20 crore. This pushes the total India gross collection to ₹227.87 crore. The weekend performance remained steady even after the digital release. On Saturday, the movie grossed ₹0.75 crore, and on Sunday, it saw a jump to ₹0.92 crore. Maintaining a gross collection of ₹0.23 crore on a working Monday suggests that a section of the audience still prefers the big-screen experience. The film has now reached an India net total of ₹197.17 crore. With less than ₹3 crore left to hit the ₹200 crore net milestone, it seems likely that Karuppu will achieve this during its theatrical run if it maintains this pace. On the global front, the film has been a massive winner. It has gathered an overseas gross of ₹81.15 crore so far. Combined with the domestic earnings, the total worldwide gross collection now stands at ₹309.02 crore. Across its entire run, the film has been showcased in over 1,01,969 shows, cementing its status as one of the most successful releases of the year. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Looking at the performance in national cinema chains on Day 32, the numbers remained modest but consistent. In the major chains—PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis—the film sold approximately 1,100 tickets, resulting in a total gross of ₹1.12 lakh with an overall occupancy of about 10 percent. Breaking this down, PVR accounted for 660 tickets with a gross of ₹0.70 lakh. INOX followed with 360 tickets and a gross of ₹0.33 lakh, while Cinepolis contributed 80 tickets with a gross of ₹0.09 lakh. The film popularity is also reflected in its final ticket sales on BookMyShow. It has managed to secure a spot among the all-time greats in recent Tamil cinema. Here is how it ranks in terms of final ticket sales on the platform: 1. Jailer - 9.21M 2. Leo - 7.30M 3. Coolie - 6.09M 4. Amaran - 4.89M 5. The GOAT - 4.51M 6. Karuppu - 4.50M The focus now remains on the ₹200 crore net milestone in India. With the current total standing at ₹197.17 crore, the film is approximately ₹2.83 crore away from this target. Given that it is still drawing an audience to theaters even after its digital release, reaching this mark appears feasible if the current daily pace continues through the week.

BY SACNILK

Vaazha 2: Biopic of a Billion Bros has officially wrapped up its theatrical journey, leaving behind a remarkable trail of numbers. Following the success of its predecessor, this sequel featured a talented cast of young actors who effectively portrayed the camaraderie and relatable life struggles that define the billion bros theme. Directed by debutant Savin SA, the film has concluded its run as an all-time blockbuster, having played across 52,202 shows globally. In terms of its standing in Malayalam cinema history, the movie has secured its position as the 5th highest-grossing Malayalam film of all time on a global scale. It currently stands behind industry giants like Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra , L2: Empuraan, Manjummel Boys, and Drishyam 3. Reaching this milestone is a significant achievement, especially for a film that primarily focuses on the youth and family demographic. Looking at the final box office totals, the movie earned a massive worldwide gross of ₹235.26 crore. Of this total, the domestic market in India contributed ₹149.51 crore in gross collections, while the overseas market added an impressive ₹85.75 crore. On the net collection front, the film finished with a total of ₹129.42 crore within India. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The state-wise gross distribution highlights how dominant the film was in its home territory while also finding decent footing in neighboring states. Here is the final breakdown of the gross collections across different regions: Kerala: ₹127.68 Cr Tamil Nadu: ₹7.66 Cr Karnataka: ₹6.02 Cr APTG: ₹3.31 Cr Rest of India: ₹2.61 Cr Looking at the international performance, the film found a massive audience across the globe. The Middle East was the primary contributor to the overseas success, bringing in 6.75 million dollars. North America followed with 727K dollars, while the UK and Ireland region added 914K dollars. Other significant contributions came from Australia with 374K dollars and New Zealand with 72K dollars. The rest of the world combined contributed another 360K dollars. Collectively, these international territories pushed the total overseas gross to a finalized figure of ₹85.75 crore, proving that the theme of brotherhood resonated well with the global Malayali diaspora.

Vaazha 2 has sold 5.02 million tickets on the platform, making it the second most-booked Malayalam film from 2024 onwards. It is only behind Lokah, which has 5.51 million sales. This level of engagement means it has even edged past other major successes like Thudarum (4.51 million), Manjummel Boys (4.30 million), and Empuraan (3.75 million). These sales figures, combined with over 1 crore total footfalls worldwide, explain why it has reached such high gross totals. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film saw a very strong initial momentum followed by a steady hold over the weeks. It started its journey with ₹55.05 crore in the first week and maintained a solid grip in the second week with ₹41.35 crore. Even by the fourth week, it managed to pull in double-digit numbers, which helped it cross the ₹200 crore mark globally. The performance eventually slowed down toward the seventh week, with its final days of tracking ending around Day 49. Specifically, the weekly gross collection trend was as follows: Week 1: ₹55.05 Cr Week 2: ₹41.35 Cr Week 3: ₹17.45 Cr Week 4: ₹12.50 Cr Week 5: ₹2.74 Cr Week 6: ₹0.33 Cr (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The language-wise data shows that the original Malayalam version was the primary driver, accounting for ₹143.12 crore of the total India gross. The Telugu version also made a contribution, bringing in ₹6.37 crore in gross collections. This closing report confirms that Vaazha 2 has not only lived up to the expectations set by the first part but has also significantly expanded its reach, becoming one of the most successful ventures in the history of the Malayalam film industry. The success of the film also validates the creative choices made by the team. Director Savin SA and writer Vipin Das took a calculated risk by casting popular internet influencers Hashir, Alan Bin Siraj, Ajin Joy, and Vinayak V as the lead Billion Bros quartet. This gamble clearly paid off, as their performances helped turn the movie into a cultural phenomenon. Building on the massive success of crossing the 200 crore mark, Vipin Das has officially announced the next chapter, Vaazha 3: Biopic of a Billion Girls. The interest in this upcoming project is already high, especially with the franchise shifting its focus to an all-female lead cast while Das continues as the writer. It will be interesting to see how the series evolves as it moves from the stories of troublemaker boys to a fresh perspective with the billion girls theme.

BY SACNILK

Peddi has entered its second Monday with expected stability, following a strong performance over its second weekend. The film earned a gross collection of ₹4.73 crore on Day 12, marking a 55.8% drop from the previous day's gross collection of ₹10.70 crore. This is a standard trend for big-ticket films on a second Monday after a heavy weekend run. With 4,164 shows currently running across India, the film has reached a total India gross collection of ₹260.96 crore and a net collection of ₹220.10 crore.

The positive booking trend has strengthened trade expectations for the film's opening day collection. According to early projections, Cocktail 2 is expected to open in the 12 crore to 15 crore net range in India, which would comfortably place it among the better Bollywood openings of the year.

Peddi has reached a significant milestone by officially crossing the 200 crore net mark in India at the end of its eleventh day.

For a project mounted on such a massive scale, the performance is leaning toward underperforming, especially as it struggles to maintain high-level momentum outside its core territories. As of Day 11, the total India net collection stands at 216.00 crore. The films trajectory on BookMyShow offers some interesting insights into its audience engagement. Since the era of hourly trending data began on the platform, Peddi has now moved up to become the 7th best-selling Telugu movie of all time. By reaching a total of 3.59 million tickets sold over its first eleven days, it has successfully overtaken the lifetime sales of Sankranthiki Vasthunam, which stood at 3.59 million. To give you a better sense of where the film stands among the biggest heavyweights at the end of their respective second weekends, here is the breakdown: (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Top 5 Telugu Movies - BMS Ticket Sales RANKMOVIE NAMETICKETS SOLD (BMS)1Pushpa 220.21 M2Kalki 2898 AD13.14 M3Salaar7.17 M4Devara4.80 M5Hanuman4.72 M6Mana ShankaraVaraPrasad Garu3.82M6Peddi3.59M Moving into the critical Monday test, the early trends on BookMyShow give us a clear look at the current momentum.

These morning numbers are a standard reflection of the weekday transition, showing a natural dip as the working week kicks off. In conclusion, Peddi has officially emerged as the number one highest-selling South Indian film of 2026. This milestone cements its position at the top of the yearly charts, reflecting its strong appeal across the regional markets. While its journey continues to be monitored through the weekdays, it currently stands as the definitive commercial leader for Tollywood this year so far.

Peddi Box Office: Ram Charan's Sports Action Drama Beats Karuppu To Become Highest-Grossing South Indian Film of 2026

BY SACNILK

Hyderabad, June 15 - Superstar Ram Charan's sports action drama Peddi continues its decent run, and in this process, it has achieved a notable milestone at the worldwide box office by overtaking Tamil blockbuster Karuppu to emerge as the highest-grossing South Indian film of 2026. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, Peddi opened to strong numbers in the Telugu states and delivered a solid first weekend. However, the film has experienced a noticeable slowdown on weekdays, especially outside Telugu states, resulting in a decent rather than blockbuster theatrical run so far. In 11 days so far, Peddi has grossed 308 crores worldwide, and by the time of penning this piece, it has outgrossed Karuppu (308+ crore) to become the biggest South Indian grosser of the year. While the collections have remained steady enough to cross the 300 crore mark and Karuppu's running total, the film is still some distance away from achieving the larger milestones that many had initially projected. Despite the moderate trend after the opening weekend, Peddi deserves credit for becoming the year's top-grossing South Indian release and delivering much better numbers than Ram Charan's disastrous Game Changer. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Peddi benefited from Ram Charan's star power, positive audience reception in its core markets, and the lack of major competition during its first week. These factors helped it edge past Karuppu and claim the top spot among South Indian films released in 2026 (so far). The achievement is significant for Ram Charan, who adds a decent performer to his filmography after back-to-back box office duds, in the form of Game Changer and Acharya (extended role). However, Peddi's journey is far from over. With a reported break-even target considerably higher than its current worldwide total, the film will need to maintain a respectable hold in the coming days to improve its theatrical outcome. For now, Peddi can celebrate an important record. By crossing the 308 crore worldwide mark and overtaking Karuppu, the sports action entertainer has officially become the highest-grossing South Indian film of 2026, even if its overall box-office trajectory has been steadier than spectacular.

Haunted 3D: Echoes of the Past 1st Weekend Collection: Rs. 9.35 Cr Net; Misses Top 10 Spot By 7.88%

BY SACNILK

Haunted 3D: Echoes of the Past has completed its opening weekend at the box office, bringing in steady numbers that reflect a focused interest in the horror-mystery genre. As a spiritual successor to the 2011 hit Haunted 3D, this new chapter entered the theaters with a reported budget of 15 crore. After three days of play, the film has managed to secure a net collection of 9.35 crore in India. Haunted 3D: Echoes of the Past - 1st Weekend CollectionDAYINDIA NET COLLECTIONSHOW COUNTOCCUPANCYDay 1 (Friday)₹ 2.50 Cr2,90715.4%Day 2 (Saturday)₹ 3.25 Cr3,77015.0%Day 3 (Sunday)₹ 3.60 Cr4,13017.0%Total Weekend₹ 9.35 Cr10,807- (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film showed a positive upward trend over the weekend. Following a Friday opening of 2.50 crore, the collections jumped by 30 percent on Saturday to reach 3.25 crore. Sunday saw a further growth of 10.8 percent, bringing in 3.60 crore. This cumulative performance has pushed the total India gross to ₹11.03 crore, keeping the worldwide gross at the same ₹11.03 crore mark. Given the production scale, reaching nearly 10 crore net in three days is a respectable start, though it still has some ground to cover to reach the break-even point. In terms of occupancy, the 3D format has clearly been the preferred choice for the audience. In the National Capital Region (NCR), the 3D version maintained a consistent overall occupancy of 32.8 percent across both Day 1 and Day 3. The evening shows on Sunday were particularly busy in this region with 44 percent occupancy. In Mumbai, the 3D shows saw an even better response on Sunday with a 35 percent occupancy rate. On the other hand, the 2D version struggled to match these heights. For instance, in Ahmedabad, the 2D version saw 8.3 percent occupancy on Friday, which grew slightly to 10.8 percent by Sunday. These numbers suggest that the 3D gimmick continues to be the primary draw for the franchise. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) With its opening weekend total of 9.35 crore, Haunted 3D: Echoes of the Past currently sits at the 11th spot for the highest opening weekends of 2026. The film narrowly missed entering the elite Top 10 list by just 80 lakhs. Here is the list of the top 10 opening weekend performers of the year so far: Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge – ₹290.94 Cr Border 2 – ₹121.00 Cr Bhooth Bangla – ₹54.25 Cr O Romeo – ₹30.15 Cr Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai – ₹24.00 Cr Mardaani 3 – ₹17.50 Cr Pati Patni Aur Woh Do – ₹17.50 Cr Ikkis – ₹13.15 Cr Chand Mera Dil – ₹11.00 Cr The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond – ₹10.15 Cr National chains like PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis contributed significantly to the Sunday totals. On Day 3 alone, these chains sold approximately 11,300 tickets, generating a gross of 36 lakh. PVR led the pack with 16 lakh in gross from 393 shows, followed by INOX at 11 lakh and Cinepolis at 9 lakh. Across the entire weekend, over 23,660 tickets were sold through these major national chains. Ticket sales on BookMyShow also stayed healthy, with 51,450 tickets booked in the last 24 hours of the weekend, bringing the total platform sales to 174,150 tickets. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Comparing this performance to the original 2011 Haunted 3D provides an interesting perspective. The first film was a certified hit, ending its run with an India net of 25.37 crore and a worldwide gross of 34.25 crore. While Echoes of the Past has a ways to go before matching those lifetime figures, its current weekend net of 9.35 crore puts it at about 37 percent of the original film's total domestic earnings. For the sequel to replicate the hit status of its predecessor, it will need to maintain a strong grip over the weekdays and avoid a significant Monday drop. The total show count for the weekend reached 10,807 shows, indicating a wide release for a film of this size. The film stars Mimoh Chakraborty alongside Chetna Pande and is billed as a spiritual successor that leans heavily into the gothic horror elements established by Vikram Bhatt. While the niche genre usually sees front-loaded performance, the growth seen on Saturday and Sunday offers a glimmer of hope for a steady run in the coming days.
