The dawn of a new era for the Marvel Cinematic Universe has arrived in India as Spider-Man: Brand New Day officially kicks off its theatrical journey. This fourth solo outing for Tom Holland’s Peter Parker carries the massive weight of expectations, acting as a soft reboot after the multiversal chaos of No Way Home. The buzz surrounding this release has been palpable, fueled by rumors of a more grounded, street-level Spider-Man and the potential introduction of Miles Morales into the live-action fold. The Indian audience has responded with unprecedented fervor, pushing the film to a historic 2 million pre-sales on BookMyShow—a figure that stands four times higher than recent blockbusters like Deadpool and Wolverine.

Mumbai, July 30 - The highly anticipated trailer for Ramayana Part 1 has received a positive response from audiences, with fans praising its stunning visuals, grand scale, and impressive casting. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the epic has generated massive excitement ahead of its release, with many calling it one of the most visually ambitious films ever produced in Indian cinema. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Among the biggest highlights of the trailer are the lead performances. Ranbir Kapoor has earned widespread appreciation for his calm and divine screen presence as Lord Rama, while Sai Pallavi's graceful portrayal of Sita has also impressed viewers. Yash's menacing avatar as Ravana has created significant buzz and left audiences eager to see more of the antagonist in the film. However, one notable omission from the trailer has disappointed a section of fans –– Sunny Deol's Hanuman. Despite being one of the film's most anticipated characters, Hanuman does not make an appearance in the trailer. Many viewers took to social media to express that even a brief glimpse of Sunny Deol in the iconic role could have elevated the trailer to an even greater level. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) That said, the makers may have deliberately chosen to keep Hanuman's look under wraps. According to reports, Sunny Deol will have a limited role in Ramayana Part 1, reportedly appearing only during the film's climactic portions, while Ramayana Part 2 will feature the full-length role of one of the Chiranjeevis. By withholding his first look, makers may be preserving one of the franchise's biggest reveals for the theatrical experience and building anticipation for the sequel. Overall, the trailer has achieved exactly what it set out to do –– ignite excitement for Ramayana with its breathtaking visuals, faithful casting, and epic storytelling. While fans may have hoped for a glimpse of Sunny Deol's Hanuman, the decision to keep the character a surprise could ultimately make his on-screen debut even more impactful when the film arrives in cinemas. Part 1 is scheduled to release on Diwali this year. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})

The global box office is currently witnessing a rare cinematic phenomenon with The Odyssey, which has officially transitioned from a big-budget spectacle into one of the legliest earners in modern history. As it concludes its 13th day, the film has achieved a staggering worldwide gross of 6,900 crore rupees, driven by a North American rampage that is currently outperforming some of the biggest blockbusters of the last decade.

In North America, according to Venky Box Office, the film is operating on a different level of audience retention. On its second Tuesday, the film recorded a gross of 16.36 million dollars. To give you some context on how massive this is, it comfortably beat the second Tuesday collections of Barbie (15.3 million dollars), Top Gun: Maverick (13.8 million dollars), and even the mighty Avengers: Endgame (12.5 million dollars). With a domestic total of 320.5 million dollars after just 12 days, it has already surpassed the final lifetime runs of Christopher Nolan classics like Inception, Dunkirk, and Interstellar.

On its second Wednesday (Day 13), the film collected a net of 4.25 crore rupees.

The cumulative India net collection now stands at 132.50 crore rupees, with the total India gross reaching 158.20 crore rupees across more than 91,800 shows to date. The language-wise breakdown reveals that the English version continues to be the primary engine in India, contributing 3.75 crore rupees to the daily net. The Hindi version added 40 lakh rupees, while the Tamil and Telugu versions contributed 5 lakh rupees each. In terms of occupancy, the English 2D version saw an overall percentage of 19.11 percent on Wednesday. Regionally, Bengaluru remains a major stronghold with 22.8 percent occupancy across 208 shows, followed by Hyderabad at 17.5 percent. Interestingly, while Mumbai and the National Capital Region (NCR) have the highest show counts, their occupancies settled at 11 percent and 8.8 percent respectively, suggesting that the South Indian metros are providing the strongest per-screen support for the film. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Logically, the global trend indicates that the film is not just relying on a big opening but is sustaining through powerful word-of-mouth. With an overseas gross of 3,800 crore rupees and a domestic North American total that is tracking alongside all-time greats, the 7,000 crore global milestone is now just a few hours away.
