Yash's next cinematic outing, Toxic, is already starting to dominate the global trade conversation well ahead of its summer release. According to an exclusive report by Variety India, the production team took a massive leap in its promotional strategy by showcasing a staggering nine-minute preview at the recently concluded CinemaCon 2026. Unveiling nearly ten minutes of footage to a room full of international exhibitors and distributors is a bold move that screams confidence. It indicates that director Geetu Mohandas isn't just making a standard actioner; she’s crafting an immersive world that the team believes can stand toe-to-toe with any global theatrical spectacle. Those who were lucky enough to be in the room during the showcase are describing it as an immersive deep dive into a world we haven't seen in Indian cinema before. The preview reportedly expands far beyond the cryptic glimpses we've seen so far, giving the trade a richer sense of the themes and the sheer scale of the production. What's interesting is how the footage is being described as a balance between edgy, stylized action and layered character beats. It seems Yash isn't just coming back with another mass entertainer, but a film that wants to stay with you long after you leave the theater. The buzz in the room after the screening was reportedly electric, with many calling it a potential game-changer for the action-drama genre. The most intriguing takeaway from the CinemaCon event is the setting and the tone. The film is reportedly set between the 1940s and the 1970s, a sprawling period backdrop that offers a lot of room for grit and style. However, the makers are describing it as a fairy tale for grown-ups. That’s a fascinating way to position a Yash starrer. It suggests a mythical, almost legendary quality to the storytelling, moving away from the standard gangster tropes. This unique fairy tale space is what reportedly stayed with the attendees, leaving them both excited and intrigued about how Geetu Mohandas has blended period aesthetics with high-stakes action. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The cast is another massive talking point. Headlined by Yash, Toxic features an incredible ensemble including Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria, Rukmini Vasanth, and Huma Qureshi. In a film positioned as a large-scale action drama, having such a powerhouse of female talent suggests that the characters are going to be just as toxic and impactful as the title suggests. With Ravi Basrur handling the music, we can expect the auditory experience to match the visual scale. The project is backed by a major production setup, including KVN Productions and Yash’s own Monster Mind Creations, ensuring that the big-screen appeal is maximized for a global audience. With the theatrical release locked for June 4, 2026, the countdown has officially begun for what is expected to be a massive box office disruption. The CinemaCon showcase was a calculated move to establish Toxic as a premium big-screen experience on the international stage before the domestic promotions even hit full throttle. The trade is now buzzing with anticipation, as Yash looks set to return to the ticket windows with a project that balances raw mass appeal with layered storytelling. If the reports regarding this nine-minute preview are a sign of things to come, the month of June is going to witness some serious record-shattering numbers across the globe.

Dacoit has completed its first week at the box office, and the numbers once again prove the remarkable consistency of Adivi Sesh. The film has concluded its opening week with a total India net collection of ₹28.45 Cr. While the movie started on a very strong note over the weekend, the real story lies in its ability to outperform Sesh's previous career-best figures. By the end of its seventh day, the actioner has already surpassed the lifetime India net of HIT: The Second Case, which stood at ₹25.92 Cr. This early lead confirms that the Sesh brand of thrillers continues to find a loyal audience, even when the weekday trending shows signs of a struggle. Analyzing the weekday trend, the film faced a sharp reality check after a rock-solid opening weekend. After netting over ₹6 Cr consistently from Friday to Sunday, it witnessed a steep 57 per cent drop on its first Monday (Day 4), collecting ₹2.70 Cr. Since then, the momentum has stabilized into a low but steady crawl, currently averaging around ₹1.25 Cr per day. On Day 7, the film added ₹1.40 Cr across 3,608 shows. The occupancy for the Telugu version remained respectable at 18 per cent, while the Hindi version struggled to take off, recording just 8 per cent occupancy in limited shows. It is clear that while the North markets are yet to fully embrace the film, the home territory is doing the heavy lifting. Speaking of home territories, the regional strongholds have been the backbone of this Week 1 performance. The Andhra Pradesh and Telangana (AP/TG) belt alone accounts for over ₹20 Cr of the total gross, followed by a decent contribution of ₹3.59 Cr from Karnataka. Domestically, the total India gross has reached ₹33.10 Cr. The ticket sales on BookMyShow also reflect this steady interest, with the film selling over 6.69 lakh tickets in its first week. The weekend saw a peak of 1.50 lakh tickets on Friday, and although the numbers dipped significantly on Wednesday and Thursday, the cumulative volume has been enough to keep the distributors in the safe zone. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The most significant highlight of Dacoit theatrical run, however, comes from the international markets. Adivi Sesh has achieved a rare hat-trick in the USA, with Dacoit becoming his third consecutive film to cross the $1 Million mark, following the massive success of Major and HIT 2. Even more impressively, it is the fastest film in his career to reach this milestone, thanks to strong premiere pre-sales of over $100,000. As of Wednesday, the North America total stood at $1.07M. The total overseas gross currently stands at ₹12.40 Cr, pushing the worldwide gross collection to an impressive ₹45.70 Cr in just seven days. The film is now nearing the breakeven mark in the USA, a feat that cements Sesh credibility as a bankable star in the overseas circuit.

With the worldwide total already ahead of the final lifetime numbers of HIT 2 (₹41.85 Cr), the focus now shifts to how much higher it can go before the next set of big releases arrive.

Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has occupied the fourth spot among the highest-grossing Day 29 movies in Bollywood history, further solidifying its legendary status. While its predecessor continues to lead the pack with a staggering ₹8.75 crore on this specific day, the sequel's journey has been vastly different and far more explosive. The first film was a classic slow-burner that relied on a long, steady word-of-mouth trend to build its massive total. In contrast, this Ranveer Singh starrer benefited from massive anticipation and the immense power of the brand, leading to a front-loaded performance that saw it surpassing the first part's lifetime collections well before even reaching this one-month milestone. Despite having already done the heavy lifting early on, the movie still collected ₹3.40 crore on its 29th day across India, registering a very healthy hold with just a 16 per cent drop from the previous day's ₹4.05 crore net. The ground-level demand is best reflected in the ticket sales on BookMyShow, where the film has reached a monumental milestone. By the end of its fourth week, Dhurandhar 2 has sold approximately 1.74 crore tickets on the platform. To put this in perspective, it has significantly surpassed the lifetime BMS ticket sales of Dhurandhar part 1, which stood at 12.62 million. While it still trails the massive 19.72 million mark set by Pushpa 2, the current momentum suggests it has comfortably outperformed other giants like Kalki 2898 AD and Kantara Chapter 1 in terms of digital ticket volume. The fourth week alone saw a steady trickle, starting with over 166k tickets on Friday and maintaining a consistent rhythm through the weekdays. Here is the breakdown of total tickets sold on BookMyShow for the top Indian movies at the end of their fourth week: • Pushpa 2: The Rule: 19.72 million • Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge: 17.45 million • Kantara Chapter 1: 13.68 million • Kalki 2898 AD: 12.68 million • Dhurandhar: 12.62 million (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Looking closely at the Day 29 activity, the film saw nearly 48,000 tickets sold on BMS between 8 am and 10 pm. This is almost identical to the previous day, indicating that the film has hit a plateau where the core audience in metro centers is still turning up consistently. The hourly trends remained stable, with the 10-11 pm window recording 2,710 tickets compared to 2,260 the night before. This kind of minor uptick in late-night show bookings is usually a sign of positive word-of-mouth still circulating among the urban audience, which has been the primary driver for this Aditya Dhar directorial. As we move into the fifth Friday, the early morning trends are looking very promising. Between 9 am and 10 am today, the film sold 2,520 tickets on BMS, which is slightly better than the 2,500 tickets sold during the same window yesterday. The total sales from 8 am to 10 am today stand at 3,970 tickets, which is just a fraction below yesterday's 4,090. This minimal drop signals a flat or even a potential growth trend for the 5th weekend. Typically, films of this scale see a slight boost on Friday evenings, and with the morning numbers staying at par with Thursday, we could be looking at a ₹4 Cr plus day, which would be a phenomenal start to the fifth week. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The total collections landscape remains historic. With an all-India net that has already breached the ₹1,100 Cr mark and a worldwide gross standing at ₹1,737.74 Cr, every single crore added from here on is simply padding the record. The film has already proven its mettle by maintaining a rock-solid show count of 8,654 even on its 29th day. As the film enters its second month, the focus will be on its marathon run. Given the current BMS trends and the steady hold in the Hindi belts, Dhurandhar 2 is well on its way to setting a lifetime benchmark that will be incredibly tough for future releases to challenge.

Mumbai, April 17 - In a major update that has grabbed attention across the industry, Kangana Ranaut has confirmed that Queen 2 is officially in the works. During a podcast with Samita Prakash of ANI, the actress confirmed that she is reuniting with Vikas Bahl for the much-awaited sequel. Queen 2 Finally Confirmed (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The news about Queen 2 had already been out in the media with reliable reports confirming that the movie had been in the making. During a recent interaction, Kangana revealed that she is returning to acting and will collaborate once again with director Vikas Bahl on the sequel to Queen. The film, which has been in discussion for years, is now moving forward, bringing back one of Bollywood's most loved characters, Rani. The original Queen (2014) followed the journey of a simple Delhi girl who discovers herself during a solo trip to Europe. The film became a cultural milestone and earned Kangana widespread acclaim, including a National Award. It was a box office hit, grossing close to 100 crores worldwide, as one of the highest-grossing films in Kangana's career. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Kangana Calls Dhurandhar A Game Changer Apart from confirming her upcoming project, Kangana also spoke highly of Dhurandhar, crediting it for bringing momentum back to Bollywood. The film, which has performed exceptionally well at the box office, is being seen as a turning point for the industry. Kangana emphasised that films like Dhurandhar are a cultural moment in Bollywood, and that it will shift the narrative within the industry. She said that the audience was moving away from Bollywood because of its non-relatable content, but Dhurandhar (both parts) has brought the confidence back and is proving to be a revival of the industry. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) A Positive Phase For Bollywood Kangana's comments reflect a growing sentiment in the industry that Bollywood is gradually bouncing back after a challenging phase. With big-ticket films performing well and content-driven cinema finding its audience again, there is renewed optimism among filmmakers and actors alike. The confirmation of Queen 2, combined with the success of films like Dhurandhar, signals a promising time ahead for Hindi cinema.

Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has officially wrapped up its fourth week, and the momentum remains quite impressive for a film in its second month. On Day 29, which was its fifth Thursday, the movie collected a net of ₹3.40 Cr across India. What is even more remarkable is the show count; despite several weeks in theaters, it is still playing across 8,654 shows. This kind of screen retention is a testament to the film's incredible legs and the fact that the audience is still turning up in decent numbers for the evening and night shows. The fourth-week performance of Dhurandhar 2 has been a study in stability. The Hindi version alone netted ₹52.65 Cr over the last seven days, which is a phenomenal result. As we saw with the first installment, these films tend to have a long tail at the box office. While the sequel faced a bit more competition, it has managed to stay ahead of most historical blockbusters in their fourth-week runs. The total India net collection has now climbed to ₹1,103.12 Cr, and as we previously noted, this makes it the first Bollywood film in history to breach the ₹1,100 crore net mark. It is a historic milestone that puts the Ranveer Singh-Aditya Dhar combination in a league of its own. Analyzing the fourth-week trending, the Hindi version netted ₹52.65 Cr, placing it at the number three spot in the all-time list for the highest fourth-week collections. It sits just behind its prequel and Pushpa 2: The Rule. Interestingly, if we look at the comparison with Pushpa 2, we've often reiterated how that film saw a massive lion's share coming from its Hindi-dubbed market—collecting over ₹812 Cr in Hindi compared to its ₹341 Cr net in its home Telugu market. Dhurandhar 2, being a Hindi original, doesn't have that massive disparity, but it has successfully mirrored that pan-India appeal by drawing significant numbers from the South circuits as well, which is a rarity for Bollywood films.

The overseas collections on Day 29 were approximately ₹0.50 Cr. While the total overseas gross of ₹417.25 Cr is massive, the daily trend has started to dip more significantly now. This signal of exhaustion is expected, especially with new competitors arriving in the global markets and the film having already tapped out most of its primary audience abroad. The worldwide gross currently stands at a towering ₹1,737.74 Cr, and while it will continue to crawl forward, the heavy lifting from the overseas territories is largely done. Domestically, the story is slightly different. The film is still finding takers in the metro circuits. The India gross has reached ₹1,320.49 Cr, with the Hindi version contributing the lion's share. Looking at the language-wise breakdown for the fourth week, the dubbed versions are naturally on their last legs. The Telugu version brought in ₹1.04 Cr net, while Tamil and Kannada contributed ₹0.64 Cr and ₹0.34 Cr respectively. These markets have almost completely exhausted their potential, but they played a crucial role in pushing the overall India net to that record-breaking ₹1,103.12 Cr figure. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) As we head into the fifth weekend, the focus shifts to how much more this juggernaut can add to its ₹1,036.44 Cr Hindi net total. For a film of this scale, the fourth week is often just the midway point in terms of theatrical presence, as historical blockbusters like this typically enjoy a full 8-week run in the cinemas. While the daily collections will naturally be lower from here on, the sheer longevity of the run is what defines such massive hits. The film has already shattered major records in the Mumbai and Delhi-UP circuits, and with another month of theatrical life still ahead of it, it will continue to slowly pad its final lifetime figures. It might not match the freakish late-run trending of the first Dhurandhar, but it has already secured its place as an All-Time Blockbuster, and the journey over the next few weeks will decide exactly where that final record-breaking ceiling will sit.

Mumbai, April 16 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar-fronted much-awaited horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla has kicked off its box office journey on a promising note. The film recorded an impressive performance in its paid preview shows, surpassing early expectations and setting a positive tone ahead of its full-fledged release. Bhooth Bangla Opens To 3.50 Crore Net In Paid Previews (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to early estimates, Priyadarshan's directorial has collected approximately 3.50-3.75 crore net from its paid previews across India. The trade was anticipating 2.50-3 crore net in previews, but the film has clearly surpassed the expectations due to positive reception buzz and early critics' reactions. This figure is considered good for a non-holiday release, especially in the horror-comedy genre, which typically relies heavily on word-of-mouth and audience reception. The film's advance momentum was visible in key urban centres, with solid response in spot bookings which normally don't happen in previews. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The good start at the box office shows that the movie has been able to make a positive impact, and that should help it going forward. The combination of horror elements with comedy, something Akshay Kumar has successfully explored in past ventures, appears to have intrigued audiences, contributing to the encouraging initial turnout. Solid Opening Day On The Cards The response to paid previews suggests that Bhooth Bangla will be going into the full-fledged opening day with a lot more buzz and awareness. Initially, it looked like the movie would open in Jolly LLB 3's opening range (12.50 crores), but now, a 15+ crore net opening day, including previews, is well within reach, which is a healthy sign. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Depending on the spot, bookings remain good, and the opening of Bhooth Bangla may go further, which needs to be seen. If the general audience reception aligns with the critics' reviews, Bhooth Bangla could be in for a very good run at the box office.

Mumbai, April 16 - One of the most iconic actor-director combos of Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan reunite after 16 years for the horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla, which begins its theatrical rollout with paid previews on April 16 from 9 PM, before the full-fledged release on April 17. The duo of Akshay and Priyadarshan has delivered some of the cult comedies, and the expectations are high for Bhooth Bangla. Trade is positive about the film's box office outcome, while being cautious about not overestimating the film's box office potential. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The advance booking of Bhooth Bangla opened 4 days before the release. While there was no initial rush in booking tickets, the pre-sales for the film are seeing some momentum going into the last day before the full-fledged release. As of 3 PM on April 16, the film has grossed 5.50+ crores (with block seats) for the opening day, including around 2 crores from the premiere alone. The pre-sales trend of Bhooth Bangla, although it is not strong to the level of expectations, is decent enough to keep the film on track for a double-digit start. As per trade estimates and booking trends, the film is heading towards opening in the range of Akshay's last film, Jolly LLB 3. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The courtroom comedy, which was released last year, opened to 12.50 crores net from 6+ crore gross pre-sales. Bhooth Bangla will be finishing with 7+ crore gross in advance sales, including the premiere. Plus, the horror-comedy genre is an advantage for Priyadarshan's directorial, which is expected to take the opening of 12-15 crores net, including paid previews. Initially, trade was anticipating 20 crore net start, but the mixed reception to its trailer and songs affected the pre-release buzz. However, on a positive side, the opening of 12-15 crores net will be a decent result compared to what it might have been had it been released a week earlier, as initially planned. The makers took a wise decision to move the release by a week to keep enough gap with Dhurandhar 2, which has been dominating the box office since its release on March 19.

The Indian box office narrative in the North American territory is being completely rewritten by the unstoppable juggernaut, Dhurandhar: The Revenge. After shattering a decade-long hierarchy, the film is now on the home stretch to achieve a feat that was once considered impossible for Indian cinema: the $28 million mark. As the film concludes its fourth Tuesday, the data suggests that it is not just surviving but thriving, with its theatrical legs proving to be as strong as its record-breaking opening week. According to tracking data provided by Venky Box Office, Dhurandhar 2 has shown exceptional resilience during this current stretch. The film saw a healthy Friday at $179K, which jumped significantly on Saturday to record $288K. While Sunday naturally eased to $208K, the most impressive trend emerged during the transition into the workweek. After a Monday total of $52K, the film witnessed a phenomenal 92 percent surge on Tuesday, raking in $100K. This massive mid-week spike has pushed the cumulative total to a staggering $27.73 million as of Tuesday night. The film is now moving toward the $28 million target, which it is expected to reach by this Friday. The pace at which this sequel has operated is nothing short of legendary. To put things into perspective, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge surpassed Baahubali 2: The Conclusion as the highest-grossing Indian film in North America within just 9 days of its release. By March 29, 2026, it had already crossed the $20.80 million mark, shattering a nine-year-old record that many thought would never be broken. By that 9th day, the films total North America collection was already standing at $25 million plus, highlighting the unprecedented scale and demand for this franchise. As we enter the fifth weekend, the film is navigating a crucial phase. Much like other major blockbusters, Dhurandhar 2 will face a reduction in show counts as new releases arrive in theaters. However, the average ticket price has been adjusted to make it highly affordable for repeat audiences. This strategy is expected to attract moviegoers who want to experience the spectacle again, even as show counts naturally dip from their peak levels. The ability to pull in $100K on a Tuesday in its fourth week proves that the word-of-mouth remains potent and the film is still the first choice for the diaspora audience in the USA and Canada. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) While PART 1 Dhurandhar was a massive success with a $20.65 million lifetime gross, this sequel has catapulted the brand into a different stratosphere. The film now sits comfortably at the throne of North American grossers. Below is a look at the highest-grossing Indian films in the North American market: Highest Grossing Indian Movies In North America MOVIE NAME NORTH AMERICA COLLECTION Dhurandhar: The Revenge $27.73 Million (Heading towards $28M+) Baahubali 2: The Conclusion $20.80 Million Dhurandhar $20.65 Million Kalki 2898 AD $18.60 Million Pathaan $17.49 Million Beyond the massive success in North America, the film has also emerged as a dominant force across other international territories. Dhurandhar: The Revenge has already topped benchmarks and set new milestones in Australia, Germany, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, cementing its status as a global blockbuster. What makes this worldwide collection even more remarkable is the fact that the film did not have a release in the Gulf market, which is traditionally a major revenue generator for Indian cinema. Even without that contribution, the sequel has managed to rewrite history books across the globe and prove its universal appeal among the diaspora.

Mumbai, April 16 - Rumours have been circulating that superstar Salman Khan's much-anticipated film Maatrubhumi, which was originally titled Battle of Galwan, might opt for a direct OTT release. The speculation gained traction after reports of delays and production-related hurdles began surfacing online, raising concerns about the film's theatrical prospects. However, the latest developments suggest that these reports are largely unfounded. According to Bollywood Hungama, Maatrubhumi is still intended for a theatrical release, and there are currently no plans to premiere the film directly on any digital platform. The makers, along with Salman Khan, are said to be keen on bringing the film to the big screen, despite the challenges. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The rumours initially picked up pace due to multiple delays in the film's schedule. Reports indicate that Maatrubhumi has undergone reshoots and faced certain clearance-related challenges, which slowed down its progress. Given the scale of the project and its sensitive theme, these delays were interpreted by some as a sign of a possible shift to OTT. Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, Maatrubhumi is a war drama inspired by real-life events, making it a film designed for a grand cinematic experience. This is one of the key reasons why the makers are not considering bypassing theatres altogether. As of now, the film's release date remains uncertain, with an official announcement expected once production formalities are fully completed. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Despite the ongoing speculation, Maatrubhumi is being positioned as a big-screen spectacle rather than a direct-to-digital release. While the OTT rumours created a buzz among fans, they don't reflect the current plan. Salman Khan's Maatrubhumi is still on track for a theatrical release, and audiences may have to wait a bit longer to witness it on the big screen.
