According to reports, the makers of Parasakthi have preponed the film's theatrical release to January 10, 2026 (Saturday). The Sivakarthikeyan starrer was originally slated for a January 14 release, but it is now reported to arrive just a day after Thalapathy Vijay's Jana Nayagan. This strategic move sets up one of the biggest box office battles in recent history, as the film will now land just 24 hours after Thalapathy Vijay's final film, Jana Nayagan, which is scheduled for January 9. According to the latest reports from overseas and domestic distributors, Parasakthi is all set for a grand worldwide release with equal showcasing alongside Jana Nayagan. This ensures that despite the heavy competition, Sivakarthikeyan's milestone 25th film will have a significant screen count across all major territories. The production team is reportedly ecstatic after a private screening of the film. Insiders describe the project as a SURESHOT theatrical winner. To keep the narrative tight and engaging, the film has been locked with a crisp runtime of 2 hours and 35 minutes (155 minutes), a duration considered ideal for a high octane political drama. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In a bid to capture the massive Telugu market, the Telugu version of Parasakthi is also planned to release first, strategically arriving ahead of the heavy slew of local Sankranti releases. By moving to January 10, the film aims to capitalize on the extended festive weekend and the massive footfalls expected during the Pongal/Sankranti holidays. With Jana Nayagan carrying the Final Film emotional weight for Vijay fans and Parasakthi representing a career best effort for Sivakarthikeyan under Sudha Kongara's direction, the January weekend is poised to be historic.

Mumbai, December 19 - Ranveer Singh-fronted spy actioner has kicked off its third weekend with an exceptional hold, scoring in the range of the second Thursday collection. The film is in the territory of insanity, where it is shattering records for fun on day wise basis. According to early estimates, the Aditya Dhar's directorial is heading to score 22-23 crores net collection on its third Friday (Day 15). Needless to say, it is the biggest third Friday ever in Hindi, beating Chhaava's 13 crores net by a massive margin of around 70%. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Dhurandhar practically had no major competition in the second week, but it was welcomed by James Cameron's Avatar: Fire & Ash, the third instalment of the Avatar franchise, which has had a strong box office history in India. However, even Cameron failed to stop Dhurandhar's juggernaut, and is likely to remain the number 1 movie this weekend as well. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The total collection of the film stands at around 482 crores net in 15 days, set to enter the 500 crores net club by tomorrow to become only the 9th film of all-time to hit the mark in Hindi.

As reported earlier, Dhurandhar is almost locked for 700+ crores net, especially given the long holiday period ahead. It needs to be seen if it can go on to beat Pushpa 2: The Rule's 800+ crores net and become the biggest Hindi net grosser, once this holiday period is over. Stay tuned...

Aanand L. Rai's romantic drama Tere Ishk Mein, starring Dhanush, has successfully completed its three-week run at the box office. Despite facing massive competition from the Dhurandhar wave and the arrival of Hollywood biggies, the film has managed to maintain a steady, albeit lower, trajectory. After a strong opening fortnight, the film has now consolidated its position, crossing the ₹115 crore India Net mark. The third week saw a predictable drop of 73.36% compared to the previous week, primarily due to a reduction in screen count. However, the film continues to find an audience in its core markets. Tere Ishk Mein Week 3 Daily Breakdown (India Net): Day 15 (3rd Friday): ₹1.05 Cr Day 16 (3rd Saturday): ₹1.65 Cr Day 17 (3rd Sunday): ₹1.85 Cr Day 18 (3rd Monday): ₹0.55 Cr Day 19 (3rd Tuesday): ₹0.60 Cr Day 20 (3rd Wednesday): ₹0.50 Cr Day 21 (3rd Thursday): ₹0.50 Cr Week 3 Total: ₹6.70 Cr As of Day 21, the film's total performance across India and overseas stands at a respectable level for a romantic drama. The film has officially entered the Hit category, especially considering its strong performance in the North Indian belt. India Net Collection: ₹115.5 Cr India Gross Collection: ₹137.5 Cr Overseas Collection: ₹23.0 Cr Worldwide Total: ₹160.5 Cr Tere Ishk Mein marks the third collaboration between Dhanush and Aanand L. Rai after the iconic Raanjhanaa and Atrangi Re. The film benefited significantly from the Raanjhanaa world brand value, which helped it breach the ₹100 crore club within its second week. However, the third week was a challenge. With the release of Dhurandhar dominating over 60% of the market share and the international release of Avatar: Fire and Ash taking up IMAX and premium screens, Tere Ishk Mein saw its footprint shrink. Despite this, the weekend jumps (57% on Saturday) indicate that the film still has legs among the family audience. With the Christmas vacation period beginning, the film is expected to keep some screens for a final push toward the ₹125 crore India Net mark. While the bulk of the business has been concluded, the overseas collection of ₹23 crore has been a bonus, proving Dhanush's growing bankability as a pan India star.

Ranveer Singh's latest action spectacle, Dhurandhar, is rewriting history at the Indian box office. After a phenomenal opening week, the film has maintained a sensational grip in its second week, emerging as the highest-grossing Hindi film in Week 2, comfortably overtaking the previous records held by biggies like Pushpa 2 (Hindi). As the film enters its third week today, all eyes are on the massive ₹500 crore India Net milestone, which is expected to be breached by the end of the day. Dhurandhar has shown unprecedented stability during the weekdays. On its 14th day (second Thursday), the film collected an estimated ₹23.00 crore net in India, taking its two-week total to a humongous level.

India Net: ₹460.25 Cr India Gross: ₹552.5 Cr Overseas: ₹ 158 Cr Worldwide Gross: ₹710.5 Cr Starting today (Day 15), Dhurandhar faces competition from the Hollywood giant Avatar, which is expected to take up a significant chunk of premium screens (IMAX/4DX). However, trade analysts suggest that the Dhurandhar Wave is too strong to be derailed. With the Christmas vacation period beginning this weekend, the film is expected to see a massive jump on December 24 (Christmas Eve) and December 25 (Christmas Day). The trend indicates that reaching the ₹600 crore India Net milestone will be a cakewalk for the film before the New Year begins. By overtaking the second-week collections of Pushpa 2, Dhurandhar has proved its long-term theatrical legs. If the film maintains this momentum, Ranveer Singh will soon become the third Indian actor (after Shah Rukh Khan and Prabhas) to have a ₹1000 crore worldwide grosser to his name.

Mumbai, December 19 - Veteran filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has heaped high praise for director Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar, calling the Ranveer Singh–led film nothing less than a "quantum leap in Indian cinema." In a long post, RGV stated that Dhurandhar is not merely a film, but a transformative cinematic event that has the power to change the future of Indian cinema across both the North and South industries. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to Varma, Aditya Dhar has "completely and single-handedly" altered the cinematic landscape with Dhurandhar. He emphasised that the film's achievement goes far beyond scale, delivering a vision that is experienced not only visually, but psychologically. In his words, Dhar does not simply direct scenes - he engineers states of mind, immersing both characters and audiences into the film's world. The Satya director noted that Dhurandhar does not request the audience's attention, but commands it. From its very first shot, the film establishes an irreversible momentum, transforming viewers from passive spectators into accomplices to the unfolding events on screen. He described the film as unapologetically aggressive, refusing to be polite or comforting in its storytelling. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Praising the writing and staging, RGV said the screenplay cuts with precision, while the film's silences are as lethal as its thunderous sound design. He highlighted Dhar's mastery over narrative pressure, explaining that the power of Dhurandhar lies not in loudness, but in the gradual compression of tension - like a coiled spring that snaps with operatic brutality. On performances, Varma pointed out that the characters are not designed to be liked, but to linger long after the audience leaves the theatre. He applauded the film's confidence in trusting viewers to read emotional scars without spoon-feeding backstories, calling this belief in the audience's intelligence the highest respect a filmmaker can show - and a defining trait that separates Dhurandhar from conventional mainstream cinema. DHURANDHAR is not a film , it is a QUANTUM LEAP in INDIAN CINEMA I believe that @AdityaDharFilms has completely and single handedly changed the future of Indian cinema , be it north or south ..That’s because Duradhar is not just a film.. it is a quantum leap What Dhurandhar…— Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) December 19, 2025 Starring Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, Sara Arjun, and Rakesh Bedi, Dhurandhar has been a word-of-mouth sensation at the box office. Grossing over 700 crores worldwide in just two weeks, the spy action thriller has already established itself as one of the biggest Indian blockbusters of all-time. Stay tuned...

If 2025 felt a little quieter at the box office, it wasn’t just you. The year saw a rare phenomenon where the biggest pillars of Bollywood—Shah Rukh Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Deepika Padukone, and Kareena Kapoor Khan—all took a collective step back from the silver screen. But make no mistake: this wasn't a hiatus; it was a strategy. While the theaters missed their magic this year, these superstars were busy mounting some of the most ambitious projects Indian cinema has ever seen. Here is the verified report on how these 5 A-listers are gearing up to reclaim the throne in 2026. 1. Shah Rukh Khan Movie: King (2026 Release) Director: Siddharth Anand Cast: Shah Rukh Khan, Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Deepika Padukone. After shattering every record in the book with his 2023 hat-trick (Pathaan, Jawan, Dunki) which generated a cumulative gross of over ₹2,500 Crores, King Khan decided to take a well-deserved pause in 2025. He returns to the action-thriller genre in 2026 with King. This film is monumental as it marks the big-screen theatrical debut of his daughter, Suhana Khan, with Abhishek Bachchan reportedly playing the stylish antagonist. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 2. Ranbir Kapoor Movie 1: Ramayana: Part 1 (Diwali 2026) Director: Nitesh Tiwari Cast: Sai Pallavi, Yash, Sunny Deol. Movie 2: Love & War (Christmas 2026) Director: Sanjay Leela Bhansali Cast: Alia Bhatt, Vicky Kaushal. Following the polarizing yet colossal blockbuster success of Animal (₹917.82 Cr Worldwide), Ranbir Kapoor vanished from the big screen in 2025 to prep for a historic double whammy. He steps into the divine shoes of Lord Ram for the Diwali 2026 release of Ramayana, and later reunites with his mentor Sanjay Leela Bhansali for the epic saga Love and War, marking his return to intense drama. 3. Alia Bhatt Movie 1: Alpha (2026) Director: Shiv Rawail Cast: Sharvari Wagh, Bobby Deol. Movie 2: Love & War (Christmas 2026) Director: Sanjay Leela Bhansali Cast: Ranbir Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal. The powerhouse performer, who ruled the box office with Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani and Gangubai Kathiawadi , took 2025 off to physically transform for her biggest action role yet. She headlines Alpha, the YRF Spy Universe's first female-led solo film, and will also feature in a lead role in the love triangle Love and War alongside her husband Ranbir Kapoor. 4. Deepika Padukone Movie: King Role: Pivotal / Extended Appearance Cast: Shah Rukh Khan, Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan. 2025 was a personal milestone for Deepika as she embraced motherhood, but she has silently locked her return. She officially rejoins her lucky charm Shah Rukh Khan for King. This marks their 6th collaboration after massive blockbusters like Pathaan and Jawan. Her last release, Kalki 2898 AD, entered the exclusive ₹1,000 Crore Club, keeping her box office dominance intact. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 5. Kareena Kapoor Khan Movie: Daayra Director: Meghna Gulzar (Raazi fame) Cast: Prithviraj Sukumaran. Bebo continues to reinvent herself. After receiving critical acclaim for The Buckingham Murders, she skipped a theatrical release in 2025 to focus on a gritty, content-driven thriller. Produced by Junglee Pictures, Daayra pairs her with Malayalam superstar Prithviraj Sukumaran, promising a raw and intense performance similar to the director's previous hit, Raazi.
