Dhurandhar Box Office: Ranveer Singh-Starrer Outnumbers RRR and KGF 2 To Become 4th Highest-Grossing Indian Film Worldwide

Mumbai, January 10 - Director Aditya Dhar's spy action thriller Dhurandhar continues its historic box office run, rewriting the all-time Indian cinema record books globally. The movie has been shattering records after records, and the latest films to become its victim are SS Rajamouli's RRR and Prashanth Neel's KGF: Chapter 2. The Ranveer Singh-fronted blockbuster has become the 4th highest-grossing Indian film of all-time at the worldwide box office, after outgrossing RRR (1230 crore) and KGF: Chapter 2 (1215 crores) over the last couple of days. In 36 days so far, Dhuradhar has grossed around 1240 crores worldwide, including over 950 crores gross in India alone. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film's success is particularly significant as it marks a rare instance of a single-language Indian film surpassing massive multi-language and pan-India spectacles in worldwide earnings. Its long theatrical legs, repeat audience turnout, and strong word-of-mouth are the reasons for its unprecedented performance weeks after release. With this milestone, Dhurandhar now finds itself just behind the top three highest-grossing Indian films of all time. Even though it is still performing very well, Dhurandhar will finish its box office run between 1300-1350 crores gross at the 4th highest-grossing Indian title, behind Pushpa 2's 1740+ crores worldwide cume.

Mardaani 3 Release Date: Rani Mukerji's Cop Actioner Sets Early Release

Mumbai, January 10 - Yash Raj Films' much-awaited cop action thriller Mardaani 3 release date has been moved up by nearly a month. The Rani Mukerji-led film, the third instalment of the successful cop franchise, will now hit the big screens on January 30, 2026, instead of its originally scheduled late-February release. Rani Mukerji returns once again as the fearless and uncompromising Shivani Shivaji Roy, a character that has become one of the most iconic female cops in Indian cinema. The makers recently unveiled the first look, as well as the latest poster, hinting at a darker and more intense chapter in the Mardaani universe. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to YRF, Mardaani 3 will present a bloody and violent face-off between good and evil, as Shivani embarks on an extraordinary race against time to rescue missing girls across the country. The newly released poster underscores this urgency, visually hinting at a high-stakes hunt where every second counts and the consequences of failure are devastating. The decision to advance the release date is surprising, given that a week before, there was Border 2 scheduled on January 23. The Mardaani franchise, however, has consistently performed well at the box office, and the makers are hoping the upcoming film continues the winning streak. Backed by Yash Raj Films, Mardaani 3 is directed by Abhiraj Minawala, and the film promises high-octane action, emotional depth, and a gripping narrative, staying true to the tone that made the first two films critical and commercial successes. She won’t stop, until she rescues them all! #RaniMukerji is back as the fearless cop Shivani Shivaji Roy in #Mardaani3.

Dhurandhar Box Office: Ranveer Singh-Starrer Scored Record 5th Week As The Film Nears 800 Crore Net

Mumbai, January 9 - Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar continues its historic march at the box office, delivering another record performance in its fifth week. The spy actioner raked in a staggering 51+ crore net in the fifth week, comfortably surpassing Chaava, which previously held the benchmark with around 30 crore net in the same period. Such a massive fifth-week total underlines the film's extraordinary hold at the ticket windows. With this sensational run, the Aditya Dhar directorial has now crossed the 790 crore net mark at the Indian box office. Despite entering its sixth week, the film has shown no signs of slowing down, driven by strong word of mouth, repeat audiences, and consistent footfalls across multiplexes and mass belts alike. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Dhurandhar will breach the 800 crore net milestone by the sixth Saturday, a feat achieved by only Pushpa 2: The Rule, starring Allu Arjun. The Bollywood mega blockbuster is set to beat Pushpa 2's 812 crore net India total, and going by current trends, it is expected to overtake the record within the next couple of days, positioning itself as the biggest Hindi film ever at the Indian box office. After crossing the Pushpa 2 mark, Dhurandhar will not just rewrite Hindi cinema records but also emerge as the highest-grossing single-language film in Indian cinema. As the film inches closer to history, its box office journey stands as a testament to star power, strong storytelling, and unmatched audience acceptance over an extended theatrical run.

Tiger Shroff Confirms His Rambo Is Back On Track After Years Of Uncertainty

Mumbai, January 6 - Months after Rambo was reportedly shelved, Tiger Shroff has finally put an end to speculation surrounding his much-anticipated action project. The actor has confirmed that the film is now back on track after years of uncertainty and being reworked on a much bigger scale. The Hindi adaptation of Rambo was officially announced in 2018, with Tiger Shroff headlining the film. It was pitched as a high-octane action spectacle inspired by the iconic Hollywood franchise led by Sylvester Stallone. Given Tiger's reputation for intense action, combat skills, and physical transformation, the announcement generated massive buzz at the time. Back then, the makers promised a gritty, large-scale action film that would present Tiger in one of his most physically demanding roles. However, after the initial announcement and early pre-production talks, updates on the project slowly began to dry up. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Over the years, Rambo quietly slipped into limbo. Industry reports suggested that the film faced multiple roadblocks, including creative restructuring, budget concerns, and changing market dynamics. To proceed with the project became difficult as many of Tiger Shroff's big-budget action films failed at the box office, leading producers to rethink. By 2023–2024, reports emerged claiming that Rambo had been shelved, with some reports suggesting the makers were unsure about reviving the project in its original form due to Tiger Shroff's declining box office pull in action space. The absence of official updates further fueled speculation that the film had been dropped altogether. Putting all rumours to rest, Tiger Shroff has now confirmed to an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that Rambo is very much alive. The actor revealed that the project had been stuck for nearly six years due to various reasons, but has finally found its way back into active development. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The actor reveals that this time, Rambo will not be a straightforward remake. Instead, the film is being reinvented, with a fresh approach that reflects his growth as an actor and action performer. He also hinted at a completely new look and a more evolved version of the character, suggesting that audiences can expect something significantly different from what was initially planned. However, the actors didn't reveal if it would be produced by Siddharth Anand and director Rohit Dhawan. More details are expected once Tiger completes his current assingments. Stay tuned...

Dhanush and Aanand L Rai Set To Reunite For A Grand Period Action Romance? Official Confirmation Awaited

The formidable actor-director duo of Dhanush and Aanand L Rai is reportedly gearing up for their fourth collaboration. Following the massive box office success of their recent outing, Tere Ishk Mein (2025), industry buzz suggests that the pair is now looking to explore an entirely new territory: a large-scale period action romance. While an official announcement is still under wraps, reports indicate that this project is intended to be mounted on an epic canvas, blending Rai's signature emotional depth with a grander cinematic spectacle than anything they have attempted before. The partnership between Dhanush and Aanand L Rai has established itself as a cornerstone of intense, character-driven storytelling, beginning with the 2013 cult classic Raanjhanaa.Dhanush’s Bollywood debut was a certified hit, earning ₹60.22 Cr net in India and ₹94 Cr worldwide. The duo continued their successful streak with the 2021 digital premiere Atrangi Re, which emerged as a major OTT hit. Their most recent collaboration, the 2025 release Tere Ishk Mein, further solidified their box office prowess by collecting a robust ₹116.71 Cr net in India and grossing ₹161.96 Cr globally, marking yet another hit in their decade-long joint filmography. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   The reported project is described as a significant evolution of their creative partnership.Sources suggest the intent is to create a period epic that stays true to the director's sensibility while embracing high-octane action. For Dhanush, who has been balancing experimental roles with mass-appeal cinema, this period drama could provide a fresh cinematic terrain to showcase his versatility. Fans are already speculating if this could be part of a broader Love Universe by Colour Yellow Productions, given the spiritual connection between Raanjhanaa and Tere Ishk Mein.As of now, neither Aanand L Rai nor Dhanush has formally announced the project.However, given their track record of 100% success at the box office and digital space, the trade is already keeping a close watch on this potential hat trick plus one.

Karan Johar Planning Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham Sequel For Next Directorial

Ace filmmaker Karan Johar is reportedly gearing up for his next major directorial venture. Following the critical and commercial success of his 2023 hit Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, Johar is set to return to his strongest territory: the grand Indian family drama. In a development that has generated immense excitement within the industry and among fans, reports suggest this new project could potentially be a sequel to his iconic 2001 blockbuster, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. According to industry sources, Johar has been working on a script that fits the mold of a massive, multi-starrer family narrative, a genre he practically defined for modern Bollywood. While details remain under wraps, the speculation that the film might be titled Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham 2 has become a major talking point. The original Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, affectionately known as K3G, is considered a landmark film in Indian cinema. It boasted an unparalleled ensemble cast featuring Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Hrithik Roshan, and Kareena Kapoor Khan. The film was a massive box office success and remains a pop-culture phenomenon decades later due to its lavish scale, emotional depth, and memorable music. The success of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani proved that audiences are still eager for Johar?s unique brand of opulent storytelling blended with complex family dynamics. If the upcoming project is indeed a sequel to K3G, expectations will be sky-high. Currently, there is no official confirmation regarding the title or the casting. It remains unclear if a potential sequel would revisit the original Raichand family years later or introduce a new generation under the same thematic umbrella. However, sources indicate that the scale of the upcoming project will match the grandeur expected from a Dharma Productions spectacle. An official announcement from Karan Johar and Dharma Productions is awaited. Until then, the possibility of revisiting the world of Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham stands as one of the most anticipated developments in Bollywood.

Breaking Buzz: Shah Rukh Khan's King and Ranbir Kapoor's Love and War To Be Split Into Two Parts?

Mumbai, January 2 - The mega success of Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar may have a lot more to say than just its box office numbers, as the latest report suggests a massive change in the industry regarding two of the most-awaited films, which are reportedly going Dhurandhar way. Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar has proved to be a game-changer with over 1100 crores worldwide (so far), and its second part, which is scheduled to release on March 19, 2026, is easily one of the most hyped films in Indian cinema. Following this monstrous success, the buzz is that Shah Rukh Khan's King, along with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love & War, might also go the same way. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to the report by Bollywood Hungama, there are very high-level discussions in Shah Rukh Khan and Sanjay Leela Bhansali's camp around the release of King and Love and War. It is said that both films are big-budget spectacles and have gone beyond what was on paper when it comes to the cost of production. The report suggests that both SRK and Bhansali are individually contemplating splitting their epics into two parts and releasing them in a gap of less than 6 months. While Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal-fronted film could arrive in August 2026 and January 2027, King is reportedly contemplating September 2026 and March 2027. While the idea is in preliminary discussions, it will only happen if both films have enough footage to be able to release in two parts, just like Dhurandhar. The final decision regarding this will be taken on the editing table, once the shoot is done. Stay tuned...

Siddhant Chaturvedi and Pratibha Ranta to Lead Karan Johar's Dear Comrade Hindi Remake

Six years after acquiring the rights to the Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna starrer Dear Comrade, Karan Johar's Dharma Productions is finally moving ahead with its official Hindi adaptation. According to the latest reports as of January 2026, the studio has found its lead pair in Siddhant Chaturvedi and rising star Pratibha Ranta. The project, which had been on the backburner since 2019, has been revitalized following the recent success of the leads in their respective projects. Dharma Productions is reportedly betting big on this fresh pairing. Siddhant Chaturvedi, who recently delivered a power-packed performance in Dhadak 2 (2025), is said to bring the required intensity to the role originally played by Vijay Deverakonda. Joining him is Pratibha Ranta, the breakout star of Laapataa Ladies (2024). Ranta's ability to portray deep emotional vulnerability made her the top choice for the character of Lilly, a role that earned Rashmika Mandanna significant acclaim in the original. Karan Johar famously bought the remake rights of Dear Comrade in 2019, even before the Telugu film's theatrical release, after being moved by a special screening. However, the project faced several delays. Now, in early 2026, the studio is reimagining the story to fit a Pan India sensibility. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   The official Hindi adaptation of the 2019 Telugu blockbuster Dear Comrade, originally directed by Bharat Kamma, is finally moving into production under Karan Johar's Dharma Productions.The creative vision for the film aims to preserve the raw emotional intensity and hard-hitting social commentary that defined the original, while seamlessly adapting the narrative to resonate with a contemporary audience. While the original Telugu version saw a mixed response at the box office, it eventually developed a massive cult following on digital platforms. Dharma Productions aims to replicate the slow burn success of the original but on a much larger scale in the Hindi market. With Siddhant Chaturvedi's growing popularity as a versatile leading man and Pratibha Ranta's critical acclaim, the Hindi remake of Dear Comrade is poised to be one of the most anticipated romantic dramas of 2026.

Dhurandhar Box Office Collection: First Hindi Film to Hit a Century in Week 4; Shatters All Time Records

The Ranveer Singh led espionage thriller Dhurandhar has achieved what was once considered impossible for a Hindi film. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the film has scripted history by becoming the first-ever Hindi film to cross the ₹100 crore mark in its fourth week of release. While most blockbusters exhaust their steam by the end of the third week, Dhurandhar has shown an extraordinary second wind, fueled by the New Year 2026 holidays and an unprecedented 27 day double digit streak. The film's performance in its fourth week (Day 22 to Day 28) was nothing short of a rampage. Capping off the week with a massive New Year boost, the film collected ₹ 15.75 Cr on Day 28 (4th Thursday).This surge propelled its Week 4 total to a staggering ₹ 106.5 Cr, nearly doubling the previous record held by Pushpa 2 (Hindi).

As it enters its 5th week, the movie remains the primary choice for audiences across India, proving that Dhurandhar is indeed the true Dhurandhar of Hindi Cinema.

Dhurandhar Becomes All-Time Number 1 Bollywood Film On BookMyShow

Mumbai, January 2 - Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar has become the highest Bollywood ticket seller on BookMyShow, after beating Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava. The spy actioner continues to rewrite history at the box office and is breaking records with each passing day. Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar has sold 13+ million tickets so far on BMS, beating Chhaava, which sold 12.50+ million tickets on the platform, followed by Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan (12.40+ million) and Maddock's horror comedy Stree 2 (11.15+ million). (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The biggest movie on BookMyShow is Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2: The Rule, with nearly 20 million tickets, followed by Kantara Chapter and Dhurandhar. The Ranveer Singh-starrer has still enough legs left to outnumber the Rishab Shetty-starrer to emerge as the number 2 film on the platform. Dhurandhar is racing towards beating Pushpa 2's 810+ crores net collection to become the highest-grossing movie ever in the Hindi language at the domestic box office. The film has so far scored 740 crores (885+ crores gross) in 28 days, as the second biggest grosser. Worldwide, the spy actioner is nearing 1150 crores and is likely to beat Jawan's 1160 crores gross to become the biggest Bollywood blockbuster (without China) by today or tomorrow. Interestingly, it is the only single-language film to enter the 1000 crores club, which speaks a lot about its legendary box office run. Stay tuned...

Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 Re-Release Cancelled At The Last Minute; Makers Cite Screen Allocation Issues

The re-release of the comic entertainer Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2, which was scheduled to hit theaters today, January 9, 2026, has been cancelled at the last minute. This sudden decision comes after the makers had already released a fresh trailer to build momentum for a second theatrical run. The film originally debuted on December 12, 2025, but its performance was severely hindered by a crowded holiday window. The planned re-release was intended to give the film a cleaner run in the New Year, but logistical challenges have forced the producers to withdraw the film from the current schedule. According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, the primary reason for this last-minute cancellation is a major dispute over screen allocation. The producers, Venus, and their studio partner, Star Studio 18, reportedly reached a stalemate regarding the number of screens and show timings. While the producers were promised a wider release across 500 screens, they were only able to secure approximately 200-250 screens, mostly with unfavorable morning or late-night slots. An industry source quoted by the trade portal mentioned that the makers felt the film was not being given sufficient visibility, stating that even when holdover releases have slowed down, they were not getting the showcasing they demanded, leading to the decision on the evening of January 8 to scrap the re-release entirely. Directed by Anukalp Goswami and produced by Venus Worldwide Entertainment in association with Abbas-Mustan Films, the sequel features Kapil Sharma in the lead role, portraying the character of Mohan. The supporting cast includes Manjot Singh, Warina Hussain, Tridha Choudhary, Parul Gulati, Ayesha Khan, and veteran actor Asrani. The plot is a high-energy comedy of errors where Mohan finds himself juggling multiple identities and accidentally marrying four different women, leading to a series of chaotic and humorous situations as he tries to keep his complicated personal life from collapsing. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   The prequel, Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon (2015), which marked Kapil Sharma's Bollywood debut under the direction of the duo Abbas-Mustan, was a massive commercial success. It benefited from a solo release window and strong word-of-mouth, eventually earning a Hit verdict at the box office.The 2015 film earned an India Net collection of ₹49.98 crore and a Worldwide Gross of ₹72.25 crore, setting a very high benchmark for the franchise that the sequel has struggled to reach. In contrast, the performance of Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 during its initial December 2025 run was significantly impacted by the dominance of mega-budget films like Dhurandhar and Avatar: Fire and Ash. During its time in theaters before being phased out, the sequel managed to collect approximately ₹12.33 crore India Net and around ₹16.23 crore Worldwide Gross. With a production budget estimated at ₹35 crore, the film's current status remains Below Average, as the cancellation of the re-release further limits its chances of recovering its investment through theatrical windows.

Dhurandhar Box Office: IMPPA Appeals to PM Modi to Lift Ban in 6 Gulf Countries After Film Enters ₹1200 Cr Club

The Indian Motion Picture Producers’ Association (IMPPA) has officially reached out to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, seeking his immediate intervention to lift the ban on the blockbuster spy thriller Dhurandhar across six Gulf nations. In a formal letter dated January 7, 2026, the producers' body termed the ban a suppression of the freedom of expression, especially since the film has already been cleared by India’s Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and has emerged as a historic success. The appeal follows reports that authorities in the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, and Saudi Arabia have restricted the film's release.The ban is reportedly due to the film's sensitive geopolitical plot, which follows Indian covert intelligence operations set against the backdrop of real-life terror events such as the 26/11 Mumbai attacks and the IC-814 hijacking. Despite its massive global popularity, Gulf censors have allegedly flagged the content as having anti-Pakistan messaging, a claim the filmmakers and IMPPA have moved to challenge through diplomatic channels. Massive Financial Setback: ₹90 Crore Lost. Directed by Uri fame Aditya Dhar and starring Ranveer Singh, Dhurandhar has emerged as an All Time Blockbuster, recently entering the elite ₹1,200 crore club worldwide. While it is currently nearing the all-time Hindi net record set by Pushpa 2: The Rule, the film has already cemented its place as one of the biggest Indian grossers in history. As per the latest reports, the film has amassed a Worldwide gross of ₹1228 Cr, with an India Net of ₹786 Cr, India Gross of ₹943 Cr, and Overseas collections reaching ₹285 Cr. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   However, despite these historic numbers, the lack of a Middle Eastern release—a traditional stronghold for Indian action films—has caused a significant financial dent.Overseas distributor Pranab Kapadia estimated that the ban across six Gulf countries has resulted in a loss of nearly $10 million (approx. ₹90 crore) from that market alone. IMPPA President Abhay Sinha emphasized in the letter to the Prime Minister that these are India-friendly countries with whom India shares robust economic and cultural ties, making the unilateral ban even more unexpected. The letter, which was also copied to Minister of External Affairs S. Jaishankar and I&B Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, urges the Government of India to engage with the respective authorities to ensure that artistic freedom is respected. Dhurandhar features an ensemble cast including Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal, portraying a high-octane operation set in Karachi's Lyari area. As the film continues its record-breaking run in North America and India, the industry remains hopeful that government-level dialogue will allow the millions of Indian expats in the Middle East to finally watch the film on the big screen.

Yami Gautam To Headline Aanand L Rai's Next Horror-Comedy Nayi Naveli; Details Inside!

Actress Yami Gautam Dhar is on a roll. Fresh off the critical acclaim of her recent courtroom drama, actress Yami Gautam has now been locked to lead a new project that marks a significant shift in genre. According to an exclusive report by Mid-day, Gautam is set to headline a horror-comedy titled Nayi Naveli, produced by Aanand L Rai's Colour Yellow Productions.The film is reportedly inspired by Indian folklore and is scheduled to go on floors in February 2026. Yami Gautam has carved a niche for herself as a bankable performer who balances content-driven cinema with commercial viability. Her most recent theatrical outing, the courtroom drama Haq (released in November 2025), saw her deliver a powerhouse performance that earned widespread praise.The film, which dealt with complex legal and social issues, managed to gross approximately ₹29 crore worldwide during its theatrical run before becoming a massive hit on OTT platforms earlier this month.This follows her 2024 film Article 370, which was a certified hit at the box office, collecting over ₹100 crore globally, further cementing her status as a leading lady who can carry a film on her shoulders. The announcement of Nayi Naveli comes at a time when Aanand L Rai is riding high on the success of Tere Ishk Mein (2025).The film, which saw the filmmaker reunite with superstar Dhanush, was a certified hit at the box office, grossing over ₹161 crore worldwide.However, trade analysts believe the film's lifetime potential was significantly curtailed by the release of the action-blockbuster Dhurandhar, which arrived just a week later. The massive wave generated by Dhurandhar led to a substantial loss of screens and a 35% dip in collections for Tere Ishk Mein; without this crushing competition, the romantic drama was on track to hit much higher benchmarks. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   Following this resilient performance, the formidable actor-director duo is now reportedly gearing up for their fourth collaboration.Industry buzz suggests that this next project will be a large-scale period action romance, marking a significant departure for the pair as they explore an entirely new territory of historical storytelling and grand production scale. By roping in Yami Gautam for Nayi Naveli, Rai is looking to blend rooted Indian storytelling with the fantasy-folklore elements that are currently dominating the Indian silver screen. The choice of genre for Nayi Naveli is no surprise given the current climate of the Indian box office. Horror-comedy has emerged as the most lucrative genre in Bollywood over the last two years. Following the historic success of the Stree franchise and the surprising box office performance of films like Munjya and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, producers are increasingly looking toward rooted horror that combines local myths with humor. From a box office perspective, this genre has shown the highest Return on Investment (ROI) in recent times, often drawing massive footfalls in both urban centers and Tier-2/Tier-3 markets. With Yami Gautam's proven track record and Aanand L Rai's knack for capturing the pulse of small-town India, Nayi Naveli is already being touted as a project to watch out for in the 2026 release calendar.

Border 2 Runtime Update: Sunny Deol Starrer Joins Animal and Pushpa 2 in the Elite 3-Hour Club

New details regarding the theatrical presentation of the upcoming war sequel Border 2 have emerged. According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, the film is expected to have a runtime of approximately 200 minutes (3 hours and 20 minutes). This duration officially places the production in the 3-hour plus club, a trend increasingly seen in high-budget Indian cinema. The extensive length is reportedly necessary to accommodate a multi-perspective narrative that covers the operations of the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force during the 1971 Indo-Pak War. For years, a three-hour runtime was considered a significant box office risk, but recent trends have completely shattered this long-standing myth.Border 2 is now following in the footsteps of a string of All-Time Blockbusters that dared to be lengthy and were rewarded with historic collections. Animal (2023) led the charge with a runtime of 3 hours and 21 minutes, where Ranbir Kapoor's gritty drama defied industry norms to gross over ₹915 crore worldwide. This was followed by the massive success of Pushpa 2: The Rule (2024); Allu Arjun's sequel clocked in at 3 hours and 20 minutes—with a reloaded version extending even further—and went on a record-breaking spree to amass an estimated ₹1,742 crore globally. Most recently, the spy thriller Dhurandhar (2025) entered the club with an expansive runtime of 3 hours and 34 minutes, becoming a monumental hit by crossing the ₹1,200 crore mark worldwide. These films have collectively proven that when the content is engaging and immersive, audiences are more than willing to invest their time, effectively turning long runtimes into a hallmark of grand, must-watch cinematic events. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   Directed by Anurag Singh (of Kesari fame) and produced by the legendary J.P. Dutta, Nidhi Dutta, and Bhushan Kumar (T-Series), Border 2 is being mounted as India's biggest war spectacle. The film boasts a massive ensemble cast led by Sunny Deol, reprising his iconic persona, alongside Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty.The supporting cast includes Mona Singh, Sonam Bajwa, Medha Rana, and Anya Singh, ensuring a diverse and emotional narrative. The film is not a direct remake but a spiritual successor that focuses on the untold bravery of the 1971 war. The makers have reportedly ensured that the 200-minute runtime is packed with massy patriotic moments, high-octane action, and emotional depth, similar to the 1997 classic. A major highlight is the recreated soundtrack, including the recently released Ghar Kab Aaoge, a tribute to the original's legendary Sandese Aate Hain. Border 2 is scheduled for a grand theatrical release on January 23, 2026, perfectly timed to capitalize on the Republic Day long weekend. Interestingly, January 2026 is shaping up to be a month of epic runtimes; besides Border 2, Prabhas's The Raja Saab (3h 9m) and Thalapathy Vijay's Jana Nayagan (3h 3m) are also set to dominate the big screen with their lengthy durations. As the final edit of Border 2 heads for censorship, the industry expects it to secure a U/A certificate, paving the way for a massive family audience turnout this Republic Day.

Ranveer Singh Starrer Dhurandhar Nears Pushpa 2 Record Ahead of The Second Part's Titanic Clash with Yash's Toxic

Yash Raj Films has acknowledged the historic box office run of Dhurandhar, as the Ranveer Singh-starrer continues its sensational march in theatres. The Aditya Dhar directorial has not only shattered multiple records in its extended run but has now firmly positioned itself as the biggest blockbuster in Hindi cinema history. After completing over a month at the box office, Dhurandhar recently scripted another milestone by delivering the biggest 5th weekend ever for a Hindi film, collecting an impressive ₹33.25 crore net. With this, the film's total net collection has surged past 781 crore in just 33 days, putting it within striking distance of Pushpa 2's all-time Hindi net record. It will cross Pushpa 2's 812 crore net record over its 6th weekend to become the biggest Hindi grosser. Dhurandhar has set a new gold standard for solo-language releases. While other ₹1000-crore club entrants relied on pan-India, multi-language releases to increase their numbers, Ranveer Singh's espionage drama has achieved this gargantuan feat through its Hindi version only, making it a unique record holder in the history of the Indian box office. Director Aditya Dhar has once again proven his mettle in the action-thriller genre. After the massive success of Uri: The Surgical Strike, Dhar has scaled even greater heights with Dhurandhar. Below is a look at his top-performing directorial ventures: Dhurandhar (2025): ₹781.75 Cr+ (India Net - Ongoing) Uri: The Surgical Strike (2019): ₹244.14 Cr (India Net) With just two major releases, Aditya Dhar has become one of the most bankable directors in the country. His ability to blend realistic military/intelligence operations with high-octane commercial cinema has resonated deeply with the Naya Bharat audience. The frenzy surrounding the film isn't stopping anytime soon. The makers have already confirmed Dhurandhar: Part 2 (officially titled Dhurandhar 2: Revenge), which is slated for a grand release on March 19, 2026. However, the path to the box office won't be easy this time. Dhurandhar 2 is set for a massive box office collision with Yash's highly anticipated Pan-India film, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   While Dhurandhar currently rules the charts, one cannot underestimate the box office might of Yash, who essentially redefined the Pan-India phenomenon. Yash's KGF: Chapter 2 (2022) holds the distinction of being the Highest Grossing Indian Film of the Year (HGOTY) for 2022, with a staggering Indian net collection of approximately ₹859.7 Crore and a worldwide gross of ₹ 1,215 crore. Even before the sequel, KGF: Chapter 1 had already set a benchmark as the first Kannada film to cross the ₹250 crore mark worldwide. Yash remains one of the few actors whose films have consistently challenged the dominance of the biggest Bollywood and Tollywood stars, making his upcoming return with Toxic a genuine threat to any record currently standing. Dhurandhar has received praise not just for its box office numbers but for its technical brilliance. Featuring an ensemble cast of Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal, the film gripped audiences despite its massive 214-minute (3 hours and 34 minutes) runtime. As the film continues its legendary run, it currently stands as the 4th highest domestic grosser of all time, sitting just behind Pushpa 2: The Rule, Baahubali 2, and KGF Chapter 2. With the sequel arriving in just a few months, the Dhurandhar mania is only expected to intensify.

Salman Khan in Talks with The Family Man Directors Raj & DK for Action-Comedy

In a collaboration that could bring a fresh wave of quirky action-comedy to the big screen, Megastar Salman Khan is reportedly in discussions with the acclaimed director duo Raj & DK. The news, first broken as an exclusive by Pinkvilla, suggests that the creators of hit series like The Family Man and Farzi are keen to direct Khan in their signature genre. According to the report, the discussions are currently in the preliminary stages. Salman Khan has reportedly heard the basic concept of the film and has shown significant interest. The project is being developed as a large-scale action-comedy, a genre that marries Khan's mass appeal with the unique, witty storytelling style that has made Raj & DK fan favorites. A source close to the development informed Pinkvilla, Salman Khan has heard the basic idea and has shown interest in it. It's an action-comedy, but it will also present Khan in a slightly different space. However, it was emphasized that the superstar has yet to give his final approval to the project. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   The primary challenge for this exciting project will be aligning schedules, given Salman Khan's packed movie slate. If the collaboration materializes and Khan officially comes on board, the makers are reportedly looking to begin filming by the end of 2026. This timeline seems plausible as Raj & DK are also reportedly planning their return to the big screen in the second half of 2026, after wrapping up their current OTT commitments. Salman Khan's upcoming schedule is filled with highly anticipated films. His next major release is the patriotic war drama Battle of Galwan, directed by Apoorva Lakhia, which is slated to hit theatres on April 17, 2026. Recent developments have indicated that the filming for Tiger vs Pathaan is now expected to begin in 2026, with a likely theatrical release in 2027. Other projects in his pipeline include potential sequels like Kick 2 and Dabangg 4, and the Vishnuvardhan-directed film The Bull. This potential team-up between one of India's biggest superstars and two of its most innovative directors has generated immense excitement among fans, who are eager to see Salman Khan in the fresh, contemporary cinematic universe that Raj & DK are known for creating.

Mumbai, January 5 - Ranveer Singh's spy action thriller Dhurandhar is showing no sign of slowing down as it continues its historic box office run, smashing yet another major record in its fifth weekend and inching closer to rewriting the all-time Hindi cinema record books. The Aditya Dhar's directorial collected a phenomenal 33.25 crore net in its 5th weekend, making it not just the biggest 5th-weekend grosser in the history of Hindi cinema but also the biggest 5th week, after it crossed the entire 5th week total of Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava, which minted 30 crores net earlier last year. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) No Hindi film before Dhurandhar has managed to pull such massive numbers so deep into its theatrical run. With this, Dhurandhar's total net collection has surged past 772 crore in just 31 days. The Ranveer Singh-led blockbuster is now only around 40 crore away from Pushpa 2, which currently holds the record for being the biggest Hindi net grosser of all time. What makes this achievement even more remarkable is the consistency of the film's run. Even in its fifth week, Dhurandhar is registering numbers that many big releases struggle to achieve during their opening weekends. Strong word of mouth, repeat audiences, and sustained footfalls across multiplexes and single screens have ensured minimal drop on weekdays and explosive growth over weekends. With no major Hindi releases posing a serious threat in the immediate days ahead, Dhurandhar is well-positioned to overtake Pushpa 2 and claim the all-time Hindi net box office crown in the coming weeks. As it stands, Dhurandhar is not just a blockbuster but a once-in-a-generation box office phenomenon, redefining longevity and setting new benchmarks. Stay tuned...
