Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Day 15 Box Office Strong Hold as Romantic Saga Nears ₹90 Cr Worldwide

Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat continues its love-soaked run at the box office, maintaining steady footfalls even into its third week. The romantic drama, which opened to promising numbers and gradually built momentum through positive word-of-mouth, has now reached Day 15 — and early estimates indicate another steady hold. The film is expected to earn around ₹2 Cr on Day 15 (Friday), keeping its run stable after a consistent second week. With this, the film’s India gross is estimated at approximately ₹81 Cr, while its worldwide total currently stands at an impressive ₹92 Cr approx. The trajectory remains encouraging for the genre, especially with sustained audience interest and limited competition in the romantic-drama space. Day wise Box Office Collection of Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Day India Nett Day 1 ₹9 crore Day 2 ₹7.75 crore Day 3 ₹6 crore Day 4 ₹5.5 crore Day 5 ₹6.25 crore Day 6 ₹7 crore Day 7 ₹3.5 crore Day 8 ₹4.5 crore Day 9 ₹3 crore Day 10 ₹2.65 crore Day 11 ₹2.35 crore Day 12 ₹3.15 crore Day 13 ₹3.75 crore Day 14 ₹1.65 crore Day 15 ₹2 crore While not a mass-action giant or franchise film, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat has carved its own lane with emotional storytelling, soulful music, and a nostalgic romantic tone. This has helped the film stay steady across multiplex pockets and Tier-2 cities, especially among youth and families. The film’s momentum is being driven by a strong hold through its second and third week, backed by growing chatter on social media around the lead pair’s chemistry and its soulful music. With limited competition currently in the romantic-drama space, the film is making the most of its theatrical window. As the next weekend rolls in, it is well-placed to keep adding steady numbers, and if this pace continues, a ₹90–95 crore worldwide finish looks comfortably within reach before the run starts slowing down.

Supreme Court Warns Multiplexes Over Exorbitant Prices

New Delhi, November 4 - The Supreme Court of India has raised serious concerns over the exorbitant prices charged by multiplexes for food and beverages. Over the last many years, theatres have struggled to bring the audiences, and the unaffordable prices are one of the major reasons for it. On Monday, a bench of the apex court, comprising Justice Vikram Nath and Justice Sandeep Mehta, in an oral observation, said that exorbitant rates for tickets and food items at multiplexes could drive moviegoers away. They observed that the rates should be appropriately fixed so that people will come. According to Live Law, the apex court's observations came while hearing petitions by Multiplex Association of India against a recent Karnataka HC order to cap multiplex ticket prices at 200. The SC bench stayed the HC order, while issuing a notice on the petitions. Recently, the Karnataka Government passed an order that movie ticket prices in multiplexes shouldn't be more than Rs. 200. To challenge the order, the makers of Kantara Chapter 1 moved the high court, which stayed the order till further notice. The Karnataka HC had directed the multiplexes to keep auditable records of every ticket sold, both online and offline, so that refunds can be made if the multiplexes lose the case. The HC also ordered to maintain audit reports verified by a CA regularly, among other things. Stay tuned...

Emraan Hashmi Yami Gautam starrer Haq clears censor boards worldwide ahead of release

Junglee Pictures’ upcoming drama Haq, headlined by Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam Dhar, has smoothly crossed one of the biggest pre-release checkpoints — global censor clearances. The film, inspired by the historic Shah Bano legal case, is set for release on 7 November 2025 and arrives with strong attention on its sensitive legal-drama theme.. As noted by trade analyst Taran Adarsh, these are the certification milestones. India – Certified UA (13+) by the CBFC on 28 October 2025 UAE – Cleared with no cuts, rated 15+ Also cleared in the UK, Australia and New Zealand 'HAQ' CLEARED IN INDIA, UAE, UK, AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND... #JungleePictures' #Haq – starring #EmraanHashmi and #YamiGautamDhar – has received censor clearance in #India, #UAE, #UK, #Australia, and #NewZealand.⭐️ #India: Certified UA 13+ by CBFC on 28 Oct 2025.⭐️ #UAE:… pic.twitter.com/CaVeom53DY— taran adarsh (@taran_adarsh) November 4, 2025 The UAE clearance — without any edits — has drawn attention, especially given the film’s social and religious sensitivity. Yami Gautam recently highlighted that passing scrutiny in the UAE signals the film’s balanced, non-provocative approach to its subject.“If there are no problems there, it means this film isn’t here to antagonise any faith,” Yami noted in a recent interaction. Haq revisits the Shah Bano landmark case, one of India’s most pivotal legal battles around women’s rights and religious law. With themes rooted in justice, faith, and societal reform, the film walks a fine line — and its clean international clearances suggest a respectful treatment of the narrative. Director Suparn Varma reportedly focuses on courtroom intensity, personal trauma, and ethical debate rather than sensationalism — a choice that seems to have helped the film earn regulatory approvals smoothly. While the film has been cleared, controversy hasn’t stayed far. Shah Bano’s daughter reportedly issued a legal notice objecting to the use of her mother’s story without consent. As of now, the film’s release schedule remains unaffected. With a UA in India — allowing teenagers to watch with guidance — and 15+ in UAE, the film is positioned for a wide audience.Haq now walks into release week with the credibility of global approvals, a quietly confident cast, and a topic that continues to resonate decades later. If early signals are anything to go by, this courtroom drama may well spark conversations not just in theatres, but beyond them.

100 Days of Mahavatar Narsimha: The Game-Changer That Could Redefine the Future of Indian Animation

Mumbai, November 1 — Kaleem Productions and Hombale Films' Mahavatar Narsimha, the animation phenomenon that took the box office by storm, has completed 100 glorious days in theatres, marking a defining moment for Indian animation cinema. The film has defied expectations by grossing a massive around 327 crores worldwide, including almost 300 crores from India alone. With its remarkable run nearing completion, the Ashwin Kumar's directorial has proven that animation can command the same scale and respect as live-action blockbusters, even at the Indian box office, which hasn't seen much from the Indian cinema when it comes to animation. Released amid moderate expectations, Mahavatar Narsimha found attention through strong word of mouth, and once it got that, the film was unstoppable. It reimagined the story of Lord Narsimha — the half-man, half-lion incarnation of Lord Vishnu — through state-of-the-art animation and cinematic storytelling. What set the film apart was its grand visual language and emotional depth, resonating with audiences across generations and faiths. For many, it was not just a film but an immersive experience brought to life on the big screen. The film's success also highlights the growing appetite for Indian devotional-driven content when told with technical finesse and universal appeal. Mahavatar Narsimha was praised for its animation quality, action choreography, and background score, which received widespread acclaim, making it a benchmark for what Indian animation studios can achieve when ambition meets innovation. It has been that kind of film. Beyond its box office numbers, Mahavatar Narsimha might have paved the way for Indian filmmakers to think in this way. For years, the Indian film industry has struggled to establish itself in the animation sector, with a sole focus on live-action cinema. This film's success has opened the door for large-scale animated features rooted in Indian stories, encouraging both filmmakers and investors to view the medium as commercially viable. Its impact is already being felt, with several animation films reportedly exploring divotional and fantasy-based projects. There will be at least seven films in the Mahavatar Cinematic Universe, with a few more already in production. The biggest animation project is likely to come in 2027, as maverick director SS Rajamouli has confirmed Baahubali: The Eternal War, which will be the continuation of the Baahubali franchise in animated format. The first part will hit the big screen in 2027. As Mahavatar Narsimha celebrates 100 days of dominance, it stands as more than just a blockbuster film — it's a milestone that could redefine the trajectory of Indian animation. By combining powerful storytelling with world-class visuals, it has shown that animated cinema can evoke the same awe, emotion, and patriotism as any live-action epic. The film's legacy will likely inspire a new generation of creators to dream bigger and take Indian animation to the global stage. Stay tuned...

Siddharth Anand Counters Sandeep Reddy Vanga's India's Biggest Superstar Tag For Prabhas With His Shah Rukh Khan Epic King

Mumbai, November 3 — The Indian cinema has produced many superstars over the years, but the debate about who is the biggest superstar among all took a fresh turn this week after director Siddharth Anand's subtle yet powerful statement celebrating Shah Rukh Khan. The Pathaan filmmaker appeared to counter director Sandeep Reddy Vanga's recent declaration that Prabhas is "India's biggest superstar," made during the announcement of his upcoming film Spirit. Vanga's remark instantly ignited a discussion among fans and industry watchers on social media. While Prabhas' supporters saw it as a moment of chest thumping, many considered the claim provocative. There is no doubt that Prabhas has emerged as one of the biggest crowd pullers in recent times and has the right to be called one of the biggest stars in the country, but stardom often transcends mere box office numbers. When stars go beyond being “just a superstar” they are called 👑 Happy Birthday INDIA’s KING pic.twitter.com/NZmChE3OIy— Siddharth Anand (@justSidAnand) November 2, 2025 Shah Rukh Khan's fans, in particular, expressed disappointment over Vanga's claim, arguing that SRK's unmatched global reach and cultural influence make him the truest embodiment of Indian superstardom. As the conversation gained traction on social media, Siddharth Anand — who has once again joined hands with SRK for the much-awaited action thriller King — appeared to weigh in on the matter. Posting a photo with Shah Rukh Khan on the actor's birthday, Anand wrote, "When stars go beyond being just a superstar, they are called KING." The statement, though nonprovocative, was seen as a confident reaffirmation of Khan's enduring dominance in the cinematic landscape. With King now officially announced through a powerful first-look glimpse, Siddharth Anand and Shah Rukh Khan seem poised to redefine the limits of Indian stardom once again — reminding audiences that some legends don't just hold titles, they become them. The movie will release in 2026. Stay tuned...

Alpha Release Pushed YRFs Female-Led Spy Thriller Locks April 17 2026

Yash Raj Films has officially shifted Alpha, the first female-led film in the YRF Spy Universe, to April 17, 2026. Headlined by Alia Bhatt and Sharvari, the high-octane action drama was earlier expected in 2025, but the makers have opted for more time in post-production — mainly to refine heavy-duty VFX work and maintain the franchise’s signature scale. Alpha is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious films in the spy universe. From large-scale action blocks to high-end digital effects, the scale seems massive, and the studio doesn’t want to rush it. Given the benchmark set by titles like Tiger Zinda Hai, War, and Pathaan, the call makes strategic sense — polish over pressure.

Mumbai, September 14 – Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday's much-awaited romantic comedy drama Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri has undergone another release date shift after movie up from the New Year's Eve release. The movie was originally scheduled for its February 13, 2026, debut.

It also marks Kartik's reunion with director Sameer Vidwans after Satyeprem Ki Katha. With its new release date locked, Tu Meri Main Tera now becomes one of the most anticipated Bollywood films. Fans of Kartik and Ananya can look forward to celebrating Christmas and New Year with a fresh dose of romance on the big screen. Stay tuned...

Prabhas vs Ranbir Kapoor: Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love and War Officially Postponed; To Lock Horns With Fauji/Fauzi On Independence Day 2026

Mumbai, October 31 - Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali's highly-awaited period romantic action drama film Love & War, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal, has officially been postponed from Eid 2026 release, averting a clash with Yash-fronted Toxic, which is slated to hit the big screens on March 20. According to the report by Variety, Love and War will be released on the big screen on one of India's most coveted national public holiday frames, Independence Day 2026. It will debut on August 14, possibly setting up with a big box office clash with the Pan India biggie Fauzi, starring Prabhas. Though not yet official, Fauzi, directed by Sita Ramam fame Hanu Raghavapudi, is eyeing the same holiday frame for worldwide release. If true, it will be one of the biggest box office clashes as Fauzi will release in multiple languages, including Hindi. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Fauzi (@fauzithemovie) Independence Day has historically been one of the most lucrative holiday slots for Hindi cinema, which has yielded massive results at the box office. Shraddha Kapoor's Stree 2 and Sunny Deol's Gadar 2 were released during this period in 2024 and 2023, respectively, and turned into massive box office juggernauts. Love and War marks the first film for the lead trio together, and first for Vicky Kaushal with Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Most of the shooting of the film has been completed, but a major chunk of the filming is left, which is one of the main reasons it has been postponed. Touted as an epic saga of passion, pride, and conflict, Love & War marks Sanjay Leel Bhansali's first-ever Indian Independence Day release. It promises the filmmaker's signature blend of scale and emotion, combining opulent visuals with deeply felt storytelling. Stay tuned...

Thamma Box Office day 9 Ayushmann & Rashmika’s Horror-Comedy Crossed ₹100 Crore with Smart Strategy

Thamma arrived in theatres not just as another Diwali release, but as the next chapter in a universe that has quietly grown into one of Bollywood’s most reliable crowd-pleasers. After the success of films like Stree and Bhediya, audiences walked into Thamma already familiar with the quirky world of the Maddock Horror-Comedy Universe — where spooky spirits meet sharp humour and heartfelt storytelling. This time, Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna step into the supernatural playground, joined by Paresh Rawal and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, bringing together a cast designed to spark curiosity and laughter in equal measure. Riding on festive mood and strong franchise recall, Thamma floated into cinemas with confidence — and early numbers showed clear audience interest. The film opened strong and paced ahead in its early theatrical run, marking a solid commercial chapter for Ayushmann Khurrana in the genre-driven entertainer space. However, the franchise comparison tells an interesting story. Stree 2 opened at a massive ~₹55.4 crore on Day 1 and ~₹35.3 crore on Day 2, proving its powerful franchise advantage. In contrast, Thamma leveraged Diwali buzz and familiarity to register ~₹24 crore on Day 1, followed by ~₹18.6 crore on Day 2, ₹13 crore on Day 3, and ₹10 crore on Day 4 — showing a dip after the initial festive rush. In other words, while the predecessor sprinted ahead early, Thamma followed a slower, festival-weighted curve. What turned the tide was the film’s mid-run strategy. With a ₹99 ticket offer rolled out around Day 7/8, footfalls surged again, pushing the Day-8 figure to ~₹4.6 crore and helping the film cross the ₹100-crore India net mark. This smart pricing intervention allowed Thamma to climb back after its decline — proving that today’s box office doesn’t reward just big openings, but sustained momentum and recovery. The film also faced early piracy leaks online even as it crossed the ₹100-crore mark domestically. Despite that, Thamma continued trending across social platforms and retained strong audience chatter, reflecting the pull of supernatural comedy blended with emotional beats and Maddock’s expanding horror-comedy universe. Box-Office Snapshot India Net (Day 1): ₹24 crore India Net (Day 2): ₹18.6 crore India Net (Day 3): ₹13 crore India Net (Day 4): ₹10 crore India Net (Day 5): ₹13.1 crore India Net (Day 6): ₹12.6 crore India Net (Day 7): ₹ 4.3 crore India Net (Day 8): ₹ 5.75 crore India Net (Day 9): ₹ 3.65 crore India Gross (till Day 9): ₹ 125.75 crore Overseas: ₹18 crore Worldwide Total: ₹143.75 crore(approx) The film found steady support from family audiences and franchise followers. While it didn’t match the opening pace of Stree 2, Thamma showed how hybrid strategies — festival timing, franchise recall, and flexible pricing — can help theatrical films sustain in a changing box-office environment.In the end, the combination of Diwali turnout, brand value, and the discounted-ticket move pushed the movie to achieve the ₹100 crore mark..
