With this, the total collection of the film in two days has reached Rs 65 crore. These figures clearly show that the film is getting strong support from the audience, and its earnings are expected to increase further in the coming days.

 

Border 2 day 2 theatre occupancy

 

On the second day, the film's Hindi occupancy total was 41.58%. While the morning show saw 15.51 per cent viewership, the afternoon show saw 39.97 per cent viewership.

Despite this, Border 2 has become the biggest release of the year 2026 so far. However, the film could not break the record of the biggest opening on Republic Day. This record is still in the name of Shah Rukh Khan's film Pathaan, which opened Rs 55 crore on Republic Day. However, Border 2 is expected to cross the Rs 100 crore mark by the end of the opening weekend.

What really happened during Smriti Mandhana’s wedding? Palaash Muchhal was caught in bed with…, was dragged and assaulted by…; cricketer’s close friend REVEALS…

Indian women's cricketer Smriti Mandhana and music composer Palaash Muchhal's wedding, scheduled for November 2025, was abruptly cancelled. This news was widely circulated in the media and on social media. The real reason for the cancellation of the wedding was not revealed then, due to which many rumors began to spread. Some reports said that Palaash cheated on Smriti, while some claimed that Smriti's father's health suddenly deteriorated, due to which the wedding had to be postponed.

 

Palaash Muchhal caught in bed with another woman

 

Now, a new and shocking claim has emerged in this case. According to a report in Hindustan Times, Smriti Mandhana's friend and producer Vidhyan Mane has levelled serious allegations against Palaash Muchhal. Vidnyan said he was present at the wedding when Palaash was allegedly caught in a compromising position with another woman. According to her, the incident took place on November 23, 2025, and the atmosphere had become quite tense. He also claimed that Palaash was beaten up by some Indian women cricketers present there. In her words, "I was at the wedding celebrations (November, 23, 2025) when he was caught red-handed with another woman in bed. Bhayanak scene tha, he was beaten up by the Indian female cricketers. The entire family is chindi chor. I thought he'd get married and settle in Sangli, but it has completely backfired on me."

 

Palaash Muchhal in legal controversy

 

Vidnyan Mane further revealed that he is Smriti's childhood friend and was introduced to Palaash through the Mandhana family. He alleged that Palaash took around Rs 40 lakh from him in the name of investment in a film project, but later cheated him. The film hasn't released yet. Vidnyan says that he has also filed a complaint against Palaash in Sangli regarding this matter and he has all the necessary evidence.

 

Not only this, but Vidnyan also accused Palaash's family of blackmailing. He said that when he refused to put in more money, the family started threatening him. According to Vidnyan, Palaash's mother, Amita Muchhal, told him that the budget of the film has increased, and if they do not invest Rs 10 lakh more, they won't get their money back. Due to this pressure and threats, he was forced to file a complaint with the police. He said, "When I met his mother (Amita Muchhal) last month, she said the budget to release the movie has now increased to Rs. 1.5 crore. They asked me to invest another Rs. 10 lakh or I wouldn't get any money back. They started blackmailing me and threatened to throw me out of the film, thus I was forced to file a complaint. I have saved all proofs including my chats and phone conversations that I'm willing to share with the police and the media."

 

All about Palaash Muchhal and Smriti Mandhana's wedding

 

Palaash Muchhal and Smriti Mandhana were supposed to get married on November 23, 2025, but the wedding was called off on the same day. Initially, it was said that this happened due to the ill health of Smriti's father. Later, Palaash was accused of cheating on social media, and a woman also shared screenshots of alleged chats with him. Eventually, Smriti herself officially announced the break-up of the marriage. After this, Palaash also issued a statement confirming the cancellation of the marriage and calling all the allegations of cheating baseless rumours.

EXCLUSIVE: Vadh 2 trailer to drop on January 27; Luv Ranjan reveals why it's not a "forced sequel": "When a small film does well, makers try to make the sequel grand…we haven't changed the grain"

Vadh 2 is all set to release on February 6 and in an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, talented and enterprising producer Luv Ranjan spoke about the Sanjay Mishra-Neena Gupta starrer, when its trailer will be out, what Luv Films stands for, his love for Gurugram’s Cyber Hub and a lot more.

When did you decide that a sequel to Vadh would be a good idea? Jaspal Singh Sandhu sir and I were discussing what to do next. We realized that there can’t be a true sequel as such to this film. The story of the two characters in the first part had come to an end. However, the concept of ‘vadh’ can be revisited by exploring another social evil and how a simple man fights it to protect someone he loves.

With Vadh’s first part, the appreciation was slow, but suddenly, it got a lot of love and also awards. That also motivated us to try for a second part. Jaspal sir cracked a story which we all loved and we felt that its worth doing.

Vadh released when the Drishyam 2 wave was going strong. Also, Bhediya had taken up screens. Avatar: The Way Of Water was released a week later. It's believed that due to the clutter, it perhaps didn’t get its due in cinemas and it became big only when it dropped on Netflix. Meanwhile, Vadh 2 releases on February 6 with minimal competition. Was that a conscious decision? I believe that when a small, sweet film arrives after a barrage of big films, it gets a better reception. There won’t be too much crowd when Vadh 2 releases. That’s important as these kinds of films need time. They can’t be released in a rush. You need a slightly more relaxed time. Once the film gets appreciation, it slowly finds its audience.

It is often said that cinemas can be ruthless in allotting shows to such films. Do you fear about not getting enough shows? I genuinely believe that unless you’re clashing with a big, event film, screen space for this kind of film is not a problem. Realistically speaking, I don’t need 8 shows or I don’t need 2 whole screens in a 4-screen multiplex. We have a huge capacity of theatres and screens right now. So, that shouldn’t be a problem.

Vadh 2 had its grand premiere at the 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) 2025, Goa... I couldn’t make but I was told that it received a great reception. It has given us confidence.

When will the trailer be out? It’ll be released on Tuesday, January 27. Hopefully, everyone will love it!

I guess they would, as part 1 has tremendous goodwill and has been loved by one and all. Also, sometimes, we feel a sequel is forced. We are not getting that feeling with Vadh 2… It’s a very honest film. At times, filmmakers make a sequel to a small film and while doing so, they try to change the grain of the original film. When a small film does well, the makers then try to make the sequel in a grand way. The soul of the film changes. However, we have stuck to the grain. Like Vadh, Vadh 2 also stars Sanjay Gupta and Neena Gupta.

Luv Films’ journey has been interesting. You have not just worked with newcomer directors but also with experienced filmmakers like Hansal Mehta, Mohit Suri etc. and made exciting films with them… We started in 2017 and our first release was in 2018. So, our company is still in its early stages and we are figuring out things. However, we are quite greedy as producers. We want to do all kinds of films. I do want to work with veterans and with those filmmakers whose work I admired and loved. They can do something that I can’t do. They have their own style and signature. But at the same time, I built my career working with newcomers – actors, technicians etc. So, that greed is always there to give a break to new people and explore fresher ideas. At some point in time, somebody supported my career and journey. That is how I became a director. Now, if we are in a position to let somebody find his or her voice, we want to keep doing it.

Many among the moviegoers feel, and I believe in it as well, that there exists a ‘Luv Ranjan genre’ in Bollywood. The recent release, Shashank Khaitan’s Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari (2025), had characters doing things that were straight out of a Luv Ranjan-directorial. Even the title gave a déjà vu of Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (2018). What were your thoughts when you saw Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari? Shashank and my journey coincided. Uska aur mera sur kayi baar similar hota hai. Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari is a Shashank Khaitan title, in my opinion. It is right in the alley of his film, Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania (2014). So, I can’t own that (smiles). This happens. A lot of times, we are discussing ideas with fellow filmmakers. That’s when you realize that he or she is also thinking on the same lines. It’s very interesting that at times, someone shares their idea and you tell them that even you have a similar kind of subject. Aur ideas pe toh kisi ka copyright ho nahin sakta. And tonalities aas paas ki mil jaati hi hai. So, when I saw Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, I thought it had trademark Shashank Khaitan stamp and same goes for Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania and Badrinath Ki Dulhania (2017).

Speaking of your directorial ventures, one location common in your films is Cyber Hub, Gurugram. Thanks to your films, it’s become a must for me to go there or think about it whenever I am in Delhi-NCR… (Laughs) Same happened with me. We grew up in that area. It’s a fun, interesting place. It’s a matter of habit, more than anything else. It’s not like I shot there first and then partied in Cyber Hub. Pehle maine wahaan party ki aur phir realize kiya ki yahaan shoot kar lete hai (laughs).

I also discovered Wenger’s in Connaught Place, Delhi, thanks to its mention in Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety. Your films act as Lonely Planet guide-of-sorts for tourists visiting the Capital! (Smiles) These are iconic places. Maybe 100 bakeries better than Wenger’s must have opened in Delhi. But there’s a nostalgia attached to these places. We have been having its cakes since we were children. Swad ki aadat pad jaati hai; isliye pastry wahin se leke aani hoti hai. It happens in Mumbai too. People travel all the way to have a meal in Sardar Pav Bhaji. When you grew up on something, it becomes a habit.

It’ll be three years in March since your last directorial, Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar (2023) was released. When can we expect an announcement of your next film? Very soon!

Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu Box Office Collection Day 12: Chiranjeevi’s film continues to BREAK records, earns 10 times more than its production budget

Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu Box Office Collection Day 12: Megastar Chiranjeevi and Nayanthara's film Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu witnessed a slight drop in terms of earnings in India on the second Friday. According to Sacnilk.com, the film has so far collected Rs 181.75 crore in India, making 2.60 crore on the 12th day. The film collected Rs 179.15 crore in the first week. On Friday, the Telugu occupancy total stood at 22.27%, with morning shows recording 13.88%, afternoon shows 19.51%, evening shows 27.44%, and night shows 28.26%.

 

What is the budget of Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu?

 

The most talked about Mana Shankara is its budget. While it was being said in the industry that the total budget of the film is around Rs 200 crore, director Anil Ravipudi recently clarified that the actual production cost of the film is just between Rs 28 and Rs 30 crore. In an interview, he revealed that the team did not even cross the Rs 30 crore mark. This huge difference also raised the question of how much the actors of the film would have charged. Anil Ravipudi is known for making his economical yet hit films, and this film has also cemented his same image.

Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu vs The Raja Saab

Despite releasing on Monday, January 12, the film became the first choice of the audience on the occasion of Sankranthi. Interestingly, Prabhas's big-budget film The Raja Saab failed to meet the expectations of the audience, while Chiranjeevi's film turned out to be the biggest hit of Sankranthi. The film opened to Rs 43 crore in India on its opening day and crossed the Rs 200 crore mark at the domestic box office in just 11 days.

Chiranjeevi thanks his fans after the film's massive success

According to the makers of the film has now earned over Rs 300 crore at the worldwide box office. After the stupendous success, Chiranjeevi took to social media to share an emotional letter for his fans. He wrote on Instagram that this success is due to his fans.

 

In his words: "Looking at the humongous success of our Film. 'Mana ShankaravaraPrasad Garu', my heart is filled with gratitude. I have always said that I am a product of your love, and today, you have proven it yet again. This success belongs to my Telugu audience, my dear beloved Mega Fans, Distributors, the movie team who worked relentlessly for this film and who have stood by me for decades. Your whistles in the theater are the energy that keeps me going. Records come and go, but the love you shower upon me stays forever. This blockbuster success is a tribute to the hard work of our HIT MACHINE, Director Anil Ravipudi, Producers Sahu and Sushmita, along with the entire team and the unwavering faith you all have in me. Let's continue the celebration. Love you all!"

Border 2 Box Office Collection Day 1: Sunny Deol-Diljit Dosanjh starrer delivers record SMASHING start, TOPS 2026 chart, earns Rs…; BEATS…

Sunny Deol's new film Border 2 has now been released in theaters. The film also stars Varun Dhawan, Ahan Shetty, and Diljit Dosanjh in pivotal roles. For the last one and a half months, only Dhurandhar dominated the box office, but now the picture seems to be changing after the entry of Border 2. After the release of Border 2, the earnings of Dhurandhar have shown a decline in the seventh week.

 

What is benefiting Border 2?

 

Border 2 has created a lot of excitement among the audience, especially because its first part is counted among the most iconic war films of Indian cinema. The advance booking for the film has also been good. Border 2 has been released in about 4500 screens worldwide. The film has come at a time when the long weekend of Republic Day is also near, and there is no big competition at the moment, which has increased the expectations.

 

Border 2 Box Office Collection Day 1

 

According to Sacnilk, advance bookings for Border 2 had indicated a strong opening at the domestic box office. The film has collected Rs 12.5 crore on the first day. Around 4,09,117 tickets were sold for 16,221 shows across the country. The Hindi 2D version was the biggest contributor, earning an advance of around Rs. 12.45 crore alone. If block seats are also added, this figure reaches Rs. 17.5 crore. On the opening day, Border 2 has earned about Rs 30 crore, according to Sacnilk.

 

Border 2 beats Dhurandhar

 

The first day box office figure of Border 2 is also special because Dhurandhar had earned Rs 28 crore on its first day. That is, Border 2 has also left Dhurandhar behind on the opening day.

Dhurandhar, directed by Aditya Dhar, saw its second-week earnings exceed those of the first. The same question with Border 2 is whether it will be able to sustain the initial enthusiasm for a long time. However, the long weekend of Republic Day can prove to be a big advantage for the film.

Border 2 actors' screentime LEAKED? Sunny Deol has the maximum runtime; Varun Dhawan and Diljit Dosanjh's screen duration is...

The Hindi box office has restored its interest in war dramas, which now focus primarily on Border 2. The film will serve as a major testing point for 2026 because it marks the first major theatrical release of that year. Anurag Singh directs the film, which establishes a new path from J. P. Dutta's 1997 classic, Border, that continues to be honoured for its patriotic themes and its ability to create emotional connections with audiences. The upcoming release of Border 2 has generated increased excitement among war-based and patriotic cinema fans. The film introduces a new story together with an entirely new cast, but it maintains its connection to the original film through the full-length performance of Sunny Deol, who reprises his role from the original movie. His presence creates a link between the 1997 classic and the upcoming new instalment of the franchise through his role as a vital character.

What Border 2 has to offer?

The film Border 2 depicts a historic moment in Indian history during the 1971 Indo-Pak War through a new emotional perspective. The film presents battle scenes together with its essential showing of unsung military efforts that demonstrate valour, dedication and responsibility. The film shows how young soldiers experience fear while forming strong friendships and making important decisions during their mission to defend their country.

Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu Box Office Collection Day 11: Chiranjeevi’s film sets new MILESTONE, crosses Rs…; will it join Rs 300 crore club?

Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu Box Office Collection Day 11: Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu is performing consistently well in the theatres. In ten days, the film has collected around Rs 175.85 crore in India. According to Sacnilk, on Thursday, that is on the 11th day of release, the film has collected around Rs 3.15 crore so far. With this, the film has collected Rs 179 crore in total. Despite the slow pace, the film has managed to pull the audience to the theatres. On its tenth day, the film, directed by Anil Ravipudi, grossed Rs 4.2 crore across India. A day before that, the film had earned Rs 5.75 crore on the ninth day, which is clear that the collection has gradually declined. However, it is considered common to happen after the festival.

 

Is Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu Chiranjeevi's biggest hit?

 

Despite this, the global performance of the film has been quite strong. The mass entertainer, starring Chiranjeevi, has crossed the Rs 200 crore mark over the weekend. Not only this, the film is on its way to become the biggest hit of the actor's career. The biggest reason behind this is the huge love and support of the audience.

 

The film also achieved a big achievement in its extended first week. In seven days, its worldwide gross had reached Rs 220 crore. A major chunk of the earnings in India came from the Telugu states, where the total gross was around Rs 155 crore. In the coming four to five days, this film can become Chiranjeevi's highest grossing film ever.

 

Will Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu be able to cross Rs 300 crore?

 

However, it is too early to say whether the film will be able to join the Rs 300 crore club or not. To reach this milestone, the film will need a very strong run for the next one week. Trade experts believe that if the momentum picks up again over the weekend, this target can also be achieved.

 

All about Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu

 

The film was released in theatres before Sankranthi on 12 January. The story revolves around a national security officer named Shankara Vara Prasad, who wants to protect his estranged wife and children and tries to reunite with them. The name of the film is taken from Chiranjeevi's real name, Shivashankar Vara Prasad. Recently, Chiranjeevi thanked the fans on X and said that this tremendous success has filled his heart with gratitude, and this victory belongs to the audience, Mega fans, distributors, and the entire team.
