Karuppu occupancy

The evening and night shows clearly made the difference on Saturday. Occupancy levels improved significantly, especially in Tamil Nadu, where night screenings crossed the 80% mark in many centres. The Tamil version continues to dominate, raking in 19.75 crore on Day 2 with an average occupancy of around 64%. The Telugu version added a decent 3.65 crore.

State-wise, Tamil Nadu remained the clear winner with 16.25 crore on Saturday. Karnataka contributed 3.60 crore, Kerala brought in 2.15 crore, while Andhra Pradesh and Telangana together added 50 lakhs. The rest of India pitched in with 61 lakhs.

With encouraging reviews and solid footfalls in key markets, Karuppu is showing all the signs of a successful weekend run. The Suriya starrer has benefited hugely from positive buzz, and if this momentum continues into Sunday and the coming weekdays, it could turn out to be one of the bigger hits of the year for Tamil cinema. The film is clearly connecting with the masses, particularly in its home territory.

Dhurandhar 2: Ranveer Singh-Rakesh Bedi starrer wins BIG in Pakistan? THIS proves fans turned film into viral sensation

Dhurandhar 2 has been creating history at the box office with its incredible run in theatres. The film saw packed shows for months. Amid massive fan celebrations, the film was successful in smashing several records across several regions. Viewers have also been lauding the film for its flawless direction, performances, music, action among many other things. Social media platforms too have been flooded with reactions, and fans theories. Amid strong international buzz, Dhurandhar 2 has become a blockbuster in Pakistan as well.

Even though Dhurandhar 2 was banned in the Middle East and several other countries due to its anti-Pakistan plot, it managed to create several box office records. Following its much-anticipated release on Netflix for international viewers, it became a hit in Pakistan. Even as critics call it a propaganda film, a Pakistani content creator has claimed that the streaming platform's servers crashed as soon as the film was released. Reason? Massive viewership.

Who is Maviya Umer Farooqui?

Maviya Umer Farooqui is Pakistani content creator who runs the Instagram page @kaam_wali_baat. He had put out a video showing Netflix allegedly crashing soon after Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar 2 was shown in Pakistan. In the viral video, he says, "Dhurandhar released in Pakistan today itself, and the server crashed almost immediately. Pakistanis had been eagerly waiting for Netflix to drop the film at midnight so everyone could click and watch it together. That's the level of craze Dhurandhar has generated here. Whether the film shows the truth or not is a different matter, but people in Pakistan are curious to see how the movie has been made. Everyone already has an idea about Ranveer Singh's character. Whether such incidents actually happened in Lyari or not is a separate debate."

Dhurandhar 2 leaked in Pakistan after its release

As soon as the film had hit theatres on March 19, its pirated version was made available in Pakistan. This was mentioned by a few accounts on X too. Even though the film was banned in Pakistan due to its 'anti-Pakistan' stance, it was clear that the viewers couldn't miss the opportunity to watch it. A journalist, Khalid Mehmood Khalid, took to X and said, "Watching Dhurandhar 2 in Lahore."

For the unversed, ahead of the release of the sequel, Dhurandhar had become the most downloaded film across the border. According to IANS, Dhurandhar had successfully recorded at least 2 million illegal downloads within just two weeks since its ban. With this, it managed to surpass the piracy numbers of Shah Rukh Khan's Raees and Rajinikanth's 2.0.

Pati Patni Aur Woh Do Box Office collection day 1: Ayushmann Khurrana’s rom-com opens DECENTLY, receives mixed reviews

Pati Patni Aur Woh Do Box Office Collection Day 1: Pati Patni Aur Woh Do, starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Sara Ali Khan, Wamiqa Gabbi, and Rakul Preet Singh, has hit the screens this week and is getting a mixed bag of responses from both critics and regular audiences. While some are enjoying the laughs and situational comedy, others feel it doesn't quite live up to expectations. Still, it has managed a decent opening at the box office, and it'll be interesting to see whether it picks up steam over the weekend with positive word-of-mouth.

Pati Patni Aur Woh Do box office collection day 1

According to early Sacnilk reports, the Mudassar Aziz-directed film collected a net of 3.85 crore on its first day from 6,822 shows across India. The gross collection in the domestic market stood at 4.62 crore. Adding to that, the movie earned another 1 crore from overseas markets, taking its total worldwide gross to 5.62 crore on Day 1. The overall occupancy was recorded at a modest 11.94%, which shows that footfalls were fairly low for a new release.

It's worth noting that the film hasn't come close to the opening numbers of its 2019 predecessor, Pati Patni Aur Woh. That original, starring Kartik Aaryan, Bhumi Pednekar, and Ananya Panday, had raked in a solid 9.10 crore on its first day. This new chapter clearly has a tougher road ahead.

About Pati Patni Aur Woh Do

Pati Patni Aur Woh Do is being called a spiritual sequel to the earlier hit. Once again helmed by Mudassar Aziz, the film also features a talented supporting cast including Vijay Raaz, Tigmanshu Dhulia, and others like Ayesha Raza Mishra and Deepika Amin. The movie runs for two hours and two minutes and has been given a U/A certificate by the CBFC.

The story revolves around a seemingly perfect marriage in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. Everything is going smoothly until one impulsive decision throws the couple's life into complete chaos, leading to a series of hilarious misunderstandings, suspicion, and unexpected twists.

With a big star cast and a relatable premise, the film had decent buzz, but the opening suggests audiences are being a bit selective right now. The coming days will be crucial. If families and youngsters start enjoying it and spread the word, it could still find its feet during the weekend. For now, it's a slow but steady start.

Raja Shivaji Box Office collection day 14: Riteish Deshmukh's epic becomes second highest-grossing Marathi film, BEATS Baipan Bhari Deva

Raja Shivaji box office collection day 14: Riteish Deshmukh's ambitious historical drama Raja Shivaji has been doing steady business at the box office since its release on May 1. The film, which he wrote, directed, and also stars in, has crossed the 75 crore mark in India within just two weeks a solid achievement for a bilingual Marathi-Hindi project.

Raja Shivaji box office collection day 14

According to Sacnilk, the movie collected 1.39 crore net on its second Thursday (Day 14), taking its total domestic net collection to 76.44 crore. After a strong first week of 52.65 crore, the film saw the expected slowdown but still showed some life over the second weekend. It earned 3.20 crore on Friday, followed by 5.60 crore on Saturday and 6.80 crore on Sunday. The weekdays were more modest- 2.40 crore on Monday, 2.50 crore on Tuesday, and 1.90 crore on Wednesday.

As expected, Raja Shivaji is performing much better in Marathi circuits than in Hindi. In fact, it has now become the second highest-grossing Marathi film ever, comfortably crossing Baipan Bhari Deva ( 76.28 crore) but still short of the all-time record holder Sairat ( 80.98 crore).

About Raja Shivaji

The film is produced by Genelia D'Souza and Jyoti Deshpande under Mumbai Film Company and Jio Studios. Apart from Riteish and Genelia, it features a strong supporting cast including Sanjay Dutt, Abhishek Bachchan, Mahesh Manjrekar, Sachin Khedekar, Bhagyashree, Fardeen Khan, Jitendra Joshi, and Amole Gupte. It tells the story of the legendary Maratha warrior Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.

In a conversation with PTI, Riteish spoke warmly about the iconic king, calling him his childhood superhero whose inspiring legacy has been passed down through generations in his family. The film's respectful treatment of the subject and strong Marathi connect seem to be working well with audiences.

Bhooth Bsngla Box Office collection day 27: Akshay Kumar's horror-comedy maintains IMPRESSIVE hold in 4th week

Bhooth Bangla Box Office Collection Day 27: Who would have imagined that Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan teaming up again after so many years would create such a storm at the box office? Their horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla has been running successfully for 27 days now and is still refusing to fade away even after nearly a month in theatres.

The film has turned out to be a solid hit, and surprisingly, it has already faced tough competition from as many as seven different releases since hitting screens. Yet, the "ghost" of Bhooth Bangla continues to linger in people's minds. Audiences are genuinely enjoying the fun mix of scares and laughs, which has kept the film alive for this long.

Bhooth Bangla box office collection

However, like most movies, it has started feeling the pressure during weekdays. On Wednesday, the film collected 1.92 crore, which dropped further to 1.46 crore on Thursday. The numbers show clear changes throughout the week. The movie faces difficulties in attracting viewers and increasing ticket sales because Raja Shivaji and Dhurandhar 2 present intense competition.

The film has grossed 246.60 crore worldwide so far, with 193.35 crore coming from India and 53.25 crore from overseas markets. Its India net collection stands at approximately 163.05 crore. Interestingly, around 200,604 shows of the film were screened just yesterday.

For a horror-comedy in its fourth week, these figures are quite respectable. While the daily collections have slowed down, the film has already done enough to be called a commercial success and has brought back the old Akshay-Priyadarshan magic that fans clearly missed.
