Mumbai, November 24 - Superstar Salman Khan's Battle of Galwan is shaping up to be one of the biggest Bollywood films of the next year. Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, the war action drama has been in the news since its announcement, with buzz growing each passing day. As the shoot of the film is nearing its end, the suspense over the release date continues to grow. Earlier, it was reported that Salman was planning to release it in June 2026 due to a packed schedule early in the year. However, the latest reports hint that it might be released early. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to Bollywood Hungama, the superstar is toying with the idea and considering if his war film can arrive on Eid 2026. Eid has been synonymous with Salman Khan over the years, with any of his films getting released on this festival. Earlier, the actor reportedly decided not to bring BoG during the frame as there are already a couple of big movies releasing. Currently, Yash's Toxic and Ajay Devgn's Dhamaal 4 are scheduled to hit the screens on Eid 2026. However, the postponement of Ranbir Kapoor's Love and War, which was supposed to release on this festival, might have tempted Salman to bring Battle of Galwan to his most celebrated festive slot. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) There are rumours that Toxic might also get postponed due to a delay in production, even though the makers recently reconfirmed their release plans. If it indeed gets postponed, then it might be easy for Salman Khan and team to release BoG during that time, and clash with Dhamaal 4. For that, the Sultan star is seriously considering and will take a call on the same soon. Produced by Salman Khan Films, the film is based on the events that took place between the Indian and Chinese troops at the Galwan region on June 15, 2020, when 200 Indian soldiers bravely defended their territory against a force of 1200 Chinese Liberation Army soldiers.

The holiday season is getting crowded! From Pandora’s Na'vi to Sriram Raghavan’s war zone, here is a detailed look at the 5-way battle set to explode this December. If you thought the box office was cooling down, think again. The final month of 2025 is gearing up to be a historic battlefield at the ticket windows. While the Christmas window is lucrative, it is also ruthless. This year, we aren't just looking at a double clash; we are staring at a five-way face-off involving Hollywood titans, Bollywood superstars, and Pan-India legends. With the release dates locked, here is everything you need to know about the contenders fighting for screen space this December. Avatar: Fire and Ash Release Date: December 19, 2025 Director: James Cameron Cast: Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang. Technically arriving a week early, this is the shark in the water. Avatar: Fire and Ash (Avatar 3) will introduce the "Ash People" (Fire Na'vi), adding a darker tone to the franchise.The previous installment, Avatar: The Way of Water (2022), was a monster in India, collecting approximately ₹ 391.4 Cr (India Net) and surpassing huge Bollywood blockbusters. With a head start of one week, it will likely hog the IMAX and premium format screens, making it a nightmare for the films releasing on Christmas Day. Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri Release Date: December 25, 2025 Director:Sameer Sanjay Vidwans Cast: Kartik Aaryan,Ananya Panday, Neena Gupta and Jackie Shroff his film marks a massive "homecoming" of sorts. It is Kartik Aaryan’s first major release with Dharma Productions (Karan Johar) after their highly publicized fallout years ago, making it a hot topic in the trade. Directed by Sameer Vidwans, who delivered the critical and commercial hit Satyaprem Ki Katha (2023) with Kartik, expectations are sky-high for this duo to recreate that magic The film boasts a potent "Combo Factor" that has the trade buzzing. Fans are thrilled to witness the big-screen reunion of Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday, whose sparkling chemistry was a key driver in the success of their 2019 hit Pati Patni Aur Woh, which collected approximately ₹ 84.56 Cr (India Net). Adding to the credibility is the return of the director-actor duo, Sameer Vidwans and Kartik; Vidwans is known for extracting emotional depth from the actor, a quality that was widely appreciated in their previous collaboration, Satyaprem Ki Katha. Billed as a "Gen-Z rom-com with a 90s soul," the movie promises to deliver the nostalgic charm of a classic Dharma romance, further elevated by the chart-topping tunes of returning composers Vishal-Shekhar. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Ikkis Release Date: December 25, 2025 Director:Sriram Raghavan Cast: Agastya Nanda, Dharmendra, Jaideep Ahlawat. This is the dark horse of the season. Directed by the master of thrillers, Sriram Raghavan (of Andhadhun fame), Ikkis is a biopic of Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, the youngest Param Vir Chakra recipient. For Agastya Nanda, this is his big theatrical test after his debut in The Archies (Netflix). All eyes are on director Sriram Raghavan, whose previous masterpiece Andhadhun is a case study in box office longevity. The film started slow but raced to a massive ₹ 74.32 Cr India Net purely on word-of-mouth. However, its success wasn't limited to domestic borders; the thriller exploded globally, amassing a staggering ₹ 439.64 Cr Worldwide, driven by a colossal ₹ 344.54 Cr from Overseas markets (with a historic run in China). If Ikkis delivers similar content-driven power, it could be the "Jerry Maguire" of this season—starting small but scoring big in the long run. Vrusshabha Release Date: December 25, 2025 Director:Nanda Kishore Cast: Mohanlal,Zahrah S Khan, Shanaya Kapoor,Roshan Meka Billed as an "Epical Action Entertainer," Vrusshabha is one of the most ambitious projects coming out of the Malayalam industry but shot as a proper Pan-India film.Mohanlal is a legend. The film marks the big Pan-India debut for Shanaya Kapoor and Zahrah S Khan. Adding to the lineup is the young and energetic Roshan Meka (known for Pelli SandaD), whose dynamic with Mohanlal is said to be the emotional core of the film. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Anaconda Release Date: December 25, 2025 Director:Tom Gormican Cast: Jack Black, Paul Rudd, Steve Zahn, Thandiwe Newton, Daniela Melchior, and Selton Mello This isn't your average creature feature—it is a star-studded, meta-comedic reimagining of the 1997 cult classic. Directed by Tom Gormican, who gave us the critically acclaimed The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, this version promises a fresh twist on the genre. The story reportedly follows a group of friends facing mid-life crises who head to the rainforest to remake their favorite movie, only to find themselves hunted by giant snakes for real.With Godzilla and Kong movies performing exceptionally well in India recently collecting ₹ 106.99 Cr (India Nett), a high-budget snake disaster movie has a built-in audience in the mass centers. The battle lines are drawn. With James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire and Ash arriving early to dominate premium formats, the four Christmas Day releases face a massive challenge to secure screens and footfalls. However, history has proven that multiple films can coexist if the content is strong. Will Kartik Aaryan’s charm and Sriram Raghavan’s storytelling hold the fort against the Hollywood tsunami? Or will Mohanlal’s mass appeal surprise everyone? One thing is certain: The Box Office is about to witness fireworks like never before.

Mumbai, November 24 - Indian cinema legend, Dharmendra Deol, has passed away at the age of 89, on November 24, 2025, after a prolonged illness. Fondly known as He-Man, the actor was admitted to Mumbai's Breach Candy Hospital for over 10 days earlier this month, before his health showed signs of some improvement. Dharmendra had been receiving treatment at his Juhu bungalow for the last few days, and on Monday, the legendary actor took his last breath. He is survived by his first wife, Prakash Kaur and their four children, Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, Vijeta Deol, Ajita Deol and second wife Hema Malini and their daughters, Esha Deol and Ahana Deol. The actor's demise was confirmed by filmmaker Karan Johar, who posted a long and emotional note on Instagram. Calling his death the end of an era, Johar remembered the Sholay star for being a bona fide Legend of Indian Cinema. "It is the end of an ERA... a massive mega star... the embodiment of a HERO in mainstream cinema... incredibly handsome and the most enigmatic screen presence... he is and will always be a bona fide Legend of Indian Cinema... defining and richly present in the pages of cinema history... but mostly he was the best human being... he was so loved by everyone in our industry...

The heavens are blessed today... It will always be my blessing to have worked with you... And my heart says with respect, reverence and love... Abhi Na jao chodke... Ke dil abhi bhara nahi... OM SHANTI! View this post on Instagram A post shared by Karan Johar (@karanjohar) Stay tuned...

The Shashank Khaitan directorial is all set for its digital premiere this November 27.Here’s a detailed look at its theatrical report card and how it stacks up against the stars' recent hits. After a theatrical run filled with festive cheer and family drama, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari is ready to enter living rooms.The romantic comedy, starring Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor, will premiere on Netflix on November 27. Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari marks the highly anticipated third collaboration between Varun Dhawan and director Shashank Khaitan, following the massive successes of Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania and Badrinath Ki Dulhania, leading fans to dub it the "spiritual successor" to the celebrated franchise. Staying true to their signature style, the narrative revolves around Sunny (Varun) and Tulsi (Janhvi)—two contrasting personalities forced to navigate a "fake relationship" amidst the chaos of a big fat Indian wedding, resulting in a classic comedy of errors. However, the film's theatrical run wasn't without hurdles; trade analysts noted that the collections were slightly dented by the massive buzz surrounding the pan-India release Kantara: Chapter 1, which occupied a significant chunk of single screens during the same period. Below is the final breakdown of its theatrical run: India Net Collection: ₹ 61.85 Cr India Gross Collection: ₹ 73.85 Cr Overseas Collection: ₹ 24.50 Cr Worldwide Collection: ₹ 98.35 Cr With a worldwide gross of ₹ 98.35 Cr, the film narrowly missed the double-century mark (₹ 100 Cr). The Overseas collection of ₹ 24.5 Cr is a highlight, proving that the Dhawan-Khaitan trademark humor still holds strong appeal among international desi audiences. Varun Dhawan returns to his celebrated "Dulhania" roots with Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, cementing his status as the genre's reliable star. When analyzing his recent box office trajectory, the film lands in a familiar zone. It falls slightly short of his previous family entertainer, JugJugg Jeeyo, which collected approximately ₹85 Cr (India Net)—a gap likely attributed to the current saturation within the genre.Sunny Sanskari mirrors the performance of his creature-comedy Bhediya. With Bhediya having earned around ₹ 68.99 Cr India Nett .Interestingly, while Sunny Sanskari (₹ 61.85 Cr) trails slightly behind Bhediya in domestic earnings, it has outperformed Bhediya's Worldwide Collection of ₹ 94.91 Cr by grossing ₹ 98.35 Cr, largely thanks to a much stronger overseas performance (₹ 24.5 Cr vs Bhediya's ₹ 13.5 Cr). This places the new release in the same "Average" to "Semi-Hit" bracket as his earlier experimental ventures. Janhvi Kapoor continues her ascent as a commercial force following a remarkably busy year. Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari adds another significant title to her portfolio, showcasing a clear upward trend in her box office draw. Earlier this year, her romantic entertainer Param Sundari emerged as a surprise success, grossing close to ₹75 Cr worldwide. Sunny Sanskari has comfortably outperformed that benchmark with a global total of ₹98.35 Cr, effectively cementing her bankability in the romantic-comedy space. All in all, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari wraps up its theatrical journey as a respectable semi-hit. While it couldn't replicate the franchise highs of Badrinath Ki Dulhania, it successfully weathered the storm of Kantara: Chapter 1 to post healthy global numbers.With its vibrant aesthetic and light-hearted humor, the movie is tailor-made for home viewing. As it premieres on Netflix this November 27, it is expected to find a massive second wind, catering to the family audience that prefers enjoying rom-coms from the comfort of their living rooms.

Breaking the suspense, Mahesh Babu shared the striking poster with a warm birthday wish for the Yuvasamrat. He tweeted: "Wishing you a very Happy Birthday @chay_akkineni. #VrushaKarma looks super solid… looking forward to this." Naga Chaitanya was quick to respond, expressing his gratitude: "Thanks @urstrulyMahesh Garu for this gesture! Means a lot." Wishing you a very Happy Birthday @chay_akkineni. #VrushaKarma looks super solid… looking forward to this. 🤗🤗🤗👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻@karthikdandu86 @Meenakshiioffl @BvsnP @aryasukku #SparshShrivastava #RagulDHerian @AJANEESHB @Srinagendra_Art @NavinNooli @SVCCofficial @SukumarWritings pic.twitter.com/7jAAoTMRCJ— Mahesh Babu (@urstrulyMahesh) November 23, 2025 The first look of VrushaKarma presents Naga Chaitanya in a never-before-seen mass avatar, hinting at a high-octane mythical action thriller that promises to be a visual spectacle. Chaitanya sports a rugged, dusty appearance characterized by a thick beard and intense, rage-filled eyes. Captured mid-action, he is seen wielding a heavy weapon resembling a rusted iron rod or scepter. The background further amplifies the intrigue, suggesting a period or dystopian setting featuring ancient architecture within a chaotic, war-torn environment. This project brings together a powerhouse collaboration of some of the finest talents in the South Indian film industry. The film is helmed by Karthik Dandu, who shot to fame with the mystical blockbuster Virupaksha. Adding to the massive hype, the story is penned by the creative genius Sukumar, celebrated for the Pushpa franchise. The movie is a joint production venture by BVSN Prasad and Sukumar, bankrolled under the prestigious banners of Sri Venkateswara Cine Chitra (SVCC) and Sukumar Writings. The casting and technical crew are equally impressive, adding to the film's anticipation. The gorgeous Meenakshi Chaudhary has been roped in as the female lead, while Sparsh Shrivastava, known for his breakout performance in Laapataa Ladies, plays a pivotal role, reportedly starring as the antagonist. The film’s auditory experience rests in the hands of musical sensation B. Ajaneesh Loknath (known for Kantara and Vikrant Rona), who is expected to deliver a thumping background score. The technical team is rounded out by cinematographer Ragul D. Herian, editor Navin Nooli, and art director Sri Nagendra Tangala, ensuring a top-tier cinematic experience. While the makers haven't officially decoded the title, "Vrusha" often relates to "Bull" or "Righteousness" (Dharma) in Sanskrit, and "Karma" means "Action" or "Deed." The title, combined with the intense poster, suggests a protagonist who is a force of nature—righteous yet destructive when provoked. With Karthik Dandu’s direction and Sukumar’s writing, expectations are sky-high.The film is currently in production, and this first look has successfully established VrushaKarma as one of the most exciting Telugu projects to look out for in the coming year.

The fourth installment of the popular adult-comedy franchise sees no growth on Saturday, signaling a tough road ahead. Mastiii 4, bringing back the infamous trio of Riteish Deshmukh, Vivek Oberoi, and Aftab Shivdasani, has completed its first weekend at the box office. Directed by Indra Kumar, the film relies heavily on nostalgia and slapstick humor, but the opening numbers suggest the genre is facing fatigue among the audience. The film opened on Friday with ₹ 2.25 Cr, a strictly average start. Ideally, mass comedies see a significant jump on Saturday. However, concerningly, Mastiii 4 remained completely flat on Day 2, earning the exact same figure of ₹ 2.75 Cr. This lack of growth indicates that word-of-mouth has been mixed to negative. According to early rough data, the film showed a marginal uptick on Sunday, collecting approximately ₹ 3 Cr. This brings the estimated 3-day domestic net total to roughly ₹ 8.5 Cr. The film is facing a "double whammy" at the ticket windows. It is competing for screens against the holdover hit De De Pyaar De 2 (which appeals to a similar comedy-loving audience) and the newly released war drama 120 Bahadur, which saw better growth over the weekend. While the chemistry of the lead trio remains the film's USP, critics have pointed out the repetitive nature of the humor, which seems to be reflecting in the stagnant collections. See the DayWise Collection of the Movie Mastii 4 Day India Net Collection Day 1 [1st Friday] ₹ 2.75 Cr Day 2 [1st Saturday] ₹ 2.75 Cr Day 3 [1st Sunday] ₹ 3.00 Cr (Estimates) Opening Weekend Total ₹ 8.50 Cr By the end of Saturday, the film had registered an India Net Collection of ₹ 5.5 Cr. In terms of gross receipts, the India Gross Collection stood at ₹ 6.5 Cr, while Overseas markets contributed ₹ 0.75 Cr, taking the 2-day Worldwide Collection to ₹ 7.25 Cr. With Sunday’s estimated net earnings of ₹ 3 Cr (which translates to roughly ₹ 3.50 Cr gross), the film is expected to have comfortably crossed the ₹ 10 Crore mark in worldwide gross earnings by the end of its opening weekend.

Farhan Akhtar’s war drama ‘120 Bahadur’ sees a massive 71% jump on Saturday, ending the opening weekend on a positive note.The gritty war drama starring Farhan Akhtar as Major Shaitan Singh, has completed its opening weekend at the box office. Directed by Razneesh ‘Razy’ Ghai and produced by Excel Entertainment, the film recounts the heroic stand of the 13 Kumaon regiment during the Battle of Rezang La in the 1962 Indo-China war. The film had a slow start on its opening Friday, collecting ₹ 2.25 Cr, as it faced competition from holdover releases. However, positive word-of-mouth regarding the emotional depth and action sequences triggered a massive turnaround on Saturday. The film witnessed a sharp 71.11% growth, raking in ₹ 3.85 Cr. By the end of Saturday (Day 2), the film had already clocked a Worldwide Gross of ₹ 8 Cr, with ₹ 0.7 Cr coming from overseas markets. With Sunday's numbers added, the film is expected to have crossed the ₹ 12 Crore mark globally. Day India Net Collection Day 1 [1st Friday] ₹2.25 Cr Day 2 [1st Saturday] ₹3.85 Cr Day 3 [1st Sunday] ₹ 4.00 Cr (Estimates) Opening Weekend Total ₹10.10 Cr While the opening numbers are modest for a film of this scale, the upward trend suggests the audience is connecting with the patriotic theme. The film needs to hold steady on Monday (aiming for ₹ 1.25 Cr - ₹ 1.5 Cr) to ensure a healthy lifetime run.

Kaantha, the period drama thriller starring Dulquer Salmaan and Rana Daggubati, has completed its first week at the box office. Directed by Selvamani Selvaraj, the film garnered significant buzz prior to its release due to its unique 1950s Madras setting ,though it faced a mixed reception regarding its pacing. The film opened on Friday (Nov 14) with a domestic net collection of ₹4.35 Cr, driven largely by a strong start in the Tamil market. Positive initial curiosity pushed the collections to their peak on Saturday, registering ₹5 Cr. However, mixed word-of-mouth regarding the second half affected the Sunday numbers, which dipped slightly to ₹4.5 Cr. As is the case with most content-driven films, Kaantha faced a sharp decline on its first Monday, dropping by 60% to collect ₹1.8 Cr.Despite the drop, the movie displayed stability throughout the weekdays.This consistency suggests that a niche audience is still patronizing the film. Day India Net Collection Day 1 [1st Friday] ₹4.35 Cr Day 2 [1st Saturday] ₹5 Cr Day 3 [1st Sunday] ₹4.5 Cr Day 4 [1st Monday] ₹ 1.8 Cr Day 5 [1st Tuesday] ₹1.85 Cr Day 6 [1st Wednesday] ₹1.75 Cr Day 7 [1st Thursday] ₹1.5 Cr Week 1 Collection ₹ 20.75 Cr At the end of Week 1, the domestic net collection stands at ₹ 20.75 Cr. Adding the overseas total of ₹ 8.2 Cr, the film has crossed the ₹ 32.75 Cr mark worldwide. The second Friday will be the deciding factor in whether the film can achieve a "Hit" verdict or settle for "Average."

The box office battle lines are being drawn early. Following the massive Diwali 2024 face-off, Kartik Aaryan and Ajay Devgn appear destined to lock horns again on the Gandhi Jayanti weekend of 2026. T-Series announces release date for its upcoming romantic musical drama T178, arriving in cinemas on 1 October 2026 pic.twitter.com/3LpiVOQhYM— T-Series (@TSeries) November 19, 2025 If industry whispers and recent release date blocking are to be believed, Bollywood is gearing up for an encore of the historic clash we witnessed between Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again. In a move that signals growing confidence in Kartik Aaryan’s box office pull, Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series has reportedly locked a release date that pits the young star directly against veteran superstar Ajay Devgn—again. According to industry buzz, the team behind the highly anticipated Drishyam 3—led by Ajay Devgn and Panorama Studios—has marked the October 2, 2026 (Gandhi Jayanti) holiday for the release of the third installment of the cult crime-thriller franchise. However, in a surprising strategic move, Bhushan Kumar and Kartik Aaryan have reportedly announced the release of their upcoming untitled romantic musical drama for October 1, 2026—just one day prior. This development comes hot on the heels of the Diwali 2024 clash, where Aaryan’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 went head-to-head with Rohit Shetty’s cop universe epic, Singham Again. While many predicted the clash would eat into the business of both films, the results showed that Aaryan could hold his own against a multi-starrer vehicle What creates the most intrigue around this prospective battle is the stark contrast in genres. In the veteran’s corner lies a proven goldmine: Drishyam 3. Directed by Abhishek Pathak, the return of the Salgaonkar family is expected to be a cinematic event, riding high on the cult status of its predecessors. Countering this crime-thriller legacy is Kartik Aaryan’s untitled romantic musical with T-Series, reportedly helmed by Anurag Basu. While the project was initially buzzed to be the third installment of the Aashiqui franchise, rights issues may necessitate a fresh title. Adding to Aaryan's rising stock is his current positioning within the industry. Beyond his stronghold with T-Series, the actor is now well-entrenched in Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, with two films reportedly in the pipeline. This consolidation of support from Bollywood’s two biggest production houses (T-Series and Dharma) provides the strategic backing needed to announce release dates aggressively. While the Diwali clash proved that two big films can coexist, trade analysts often argue that solo releases maximize revenue. The decision to release the Kartik Aaryan starrer on October 1—getting a one-day head start on Drishyam 3—suggests Bhushan Kumar is banking on a strong opening day to seize the narrative before the legacy franchise takes over the holiday screens. As of now, makers are keeping creative details of the romantic drama under tight wraps to build intrigue. But one thing is certain: October 2026 is already heating up to be a battle for supremacy.
