Aryan Khan's The Ba***ds of Bollywood With Shah Rukh Khan's Cameo Debuts At Number 4 On Netflix With 2.8 Million Views

Mumbai, September 4 - Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan made his directorial debut with Netflix's satirical action comedy drama series The Ba***ds of Bollywood. Aryan also created and co-wrote the series, which has been making noise on social media. Despite the huge hype and several cameos of Bollywood superstars and directors, including Shah Rukh Khan, The Ba***ds of Bollywood debuted at number 4 in the non-English category on Netflix. The series scored 2.8 million views in its opening weekend. The show has been trending at number 1 in 9 countries, including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Bahrain, Maldives, Oman, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Mauritius. The series is 5 hours and 12 minutes long, which helped the streamer score 14.8 million viewing hours. The viewership of the series is decent, but not up to the sky-high expectations, especially considering the top-tier cameos of SRK, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, SS Rajamouli, Emraan Hashmi, Karan Johar, and many others. Produced by Gauri Khan under Red Chillies Entertainment, the series stars Bobby Deol, Lakshya Lalwani, Raghav Juyal, Sahher Bambba, Anya Singh, Manoj Pahwa, Manish Chaudhari, Rajat Bedi, Meherzan Mazda, Divik Sharma, Mona Singh, Gautami Kapoor, Vijayant Kohli, Neville Bharucha, and Armaan Khera, in prominent roles. The series follows actor Aasmaan Singh from Delhi, whose successful debut under producer Freddy Sodawallah leads to a role opposite Karishma Talvar in Karan Johar's film, but he must contend with Freddy's multi-film contract, interference from Karishma's father, Ajay Talvar, emerging romance, and unforeseen complications.

Kalyani Priyadarshan's Lokah Achieves A Rare Triple At The Box Office

Kochi, September 21 - Kalyani Priyadarshan's superhero action spectacle Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra continues its record-breaking journey at the worldwide box office, and has become the highest-grossing film of all-time for Malayalam cinema, by beating Mohanlal's Empuraan in 24 days. Apart from being the biggest Mollywood blockbuster, Lokah registered a feat no Malayalam film has ever managed before. The film has emerged as the first from the industry to cross 100 crores in the home state of Kerala, 100 crores in overseas markets, and 50 crores in the rest of India, emerging as a true Pan-India blockbuster. This rare triple achievement underscores the film's widespread acceptance among audiences both at home and abroad. The Kerala market, traditionally the backbone of Malayalam cinema, has been the strongest pillar for Lokah. By racing past the 100 crore milestone in the state alone, the film has set a new benchmark for future blockbusters. It is only the second film after Thudarum to cross 100 crores in the state. Equally impressive has been its overseas performance, where it too breached the 100 crore mark, driven by strong collections in the Middle East and North America. Meanwhile, Lokah has also managed to penetrate the wider Indian market beyond Kerala, collecting over 50 crores from other states. This is a remarkable result for a Malayalam film, signalling its crossover appeal and rising pan-Indian recognition. With this triple strike, Lokah cements its place as a game-changer for the industry. After 24 days, the film's worldwide collection stands at around 271 crores, including over 156 crores in India. It needs to be seen how the movie fares in coming days, which will determine if it can go past 300 crores milestone and become the historic first for the content factory of Inndia cinema.

From Dangal To Lokah: The Highest-Grossing Films Across Six Major Indian Film Industries

Mumbai, September 20 - The Indian cinema is the most diverse in the world with its vast landscape of languages and cultures, each with its own set of superstars, styles, and record-breaking blockbusters. Over the years, the country has delivered rich results at the box office, not just with the mainstream Hindi cinema, but also with regional cinema, where films across different genres unlocked new potential. As the Indian cinema continues to evolve and come closer than ever, there have been certain films which have not only ruled their regional box office but also established themselves as benchmarks for their respective industries. Here's a look at the current all-time biggest hits from six major Indian film industries, which have set benchmarks for their other films to achieve. Hindi Cinema – Dangal (2016) Aamir Khan's sports drama Dangal (2016) remains the undisputed king of not just Bollywood, but of Indian cinema. With a staggering 2070 crore worldwide gross, the wrestling drama became a global sensation, largely due to its phenomenal run in China, which contributed over 60% to its total collection. Years later, no Indian film has managed to surpass its worldwide record. Telugu Cinema – Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017) While Dangal remains the biggest Indian blockbuster, it was director S.S. Rajamouli's magnum opus Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017) that changed the game for Indian cinema. Starring Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, and Anushka Shetty, the epic fantasy collected 1788 crore worldwide and showcased the true potential of Telugu films and also broke the language barrier to emerge as a pan-India spectacle, with a large contribution from the Hindi language. Kannada Cinema – KGF Chapter 2 (2022) Kannada cinema was largely limited to its home state before the Yash-fronted KGF franchise changed the game for it. And it was KGF Chapter 2 (2022) that proved that Kannada cinema could dominate globally. With its raw action, style, and storytelling, the film amassed an extraordinary 1230 crore worldwide, cementing itself as the industry's biggest blockbuster to date. Tamil Cinema – 2.0 (2018) The Tamil film industry has failed to match its fellow Southern industries in terms of potential, but it has seen a continuous rise over the last few years. However, despite multiple 500 crores blockbusters, it is Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar's sci-fi extravaganza 2.0 (2018), directed by Shankar, which is still the biggest Tamil grosser to date. The film, packed with cutting-edge VFX, grossed ₹691 crore worldwide. Malayalam Cinema – Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra (2025) The Malayalam cinema has been on an unreal rise for the last few years. From being limited to the regional barrier to breaking into the Pan-India market, the industry has made sure that it competes with the giants of Indian cinema. And it can't be a prouder moment for the industry that a female-led film is leading the charge. Kalyani Priyadarshan's superhero saga Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra, with a 267+ crore worldwide gross, has become the industry's highest-grossing film of all time, surpassing big names like Mohanlal's Empuraan. Punjabi Cinema – Jatt & Juliet 3 (2024) The Punjabi film industry has been struggling to deliver results at the box office due to various reasons. It has scored only two 100 crores grossers, with Diljit Dosanjh and Neeru Bajwa's romantic comedy Jatt & Juliet 3 (2024) being the biggest of them. It became the second-ever Punjabi movie, after Carry On Jatta 3 (2023), to cross the 100 crore milestone, grossing 102.60 crore worldwide. Stay tuned...

Lokah Creates History: Kalyani Priyadarshan's Superhero Saga Beats Mohanlal's Empuraan To Become Biggest Malayalam Grosser Worldwide

Kochi, September 20 - Kalyani Priyadarshan has etched her name in history as her superhero film Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra has become the Malayalam industry hit by beating superstar Mohanlal's political actioner Empuraan at the time of writing this piece. The film, which has been on a dream run ever since its release, has now overtaken Empuraan on its 24th day. Empuraan was released earlier this year and finished its box office journey with around 267 crores worldwide. Lokah is expected to be around 270 crores gross at the end of the day. Directed by Dominic Arun, Chandra has witnessed phenomenal numbers across domestic and overseas markets, powered by strong word of mouth, repeat viewings, and an engaging story that resonated with family audiences. The film's box office run is far from over, and trade analysts believe it could add many more crores before completing its theatrical journey. Though it will take more than what is left in the tank, Lokah has an outside chance of topping 300 crores worldwide, a dream Malayalam industry thought Empuraan would acheive. The achievement of the latest sensation is significant as it comes with a film led by a female. Until now, the list of top-grossing films has been dominated by male superstars, making Lokah's triumph an inspiring milestone. There is no doubt that Lokah is a watershed event for Malayalam cinema that could pave the way for more women-centric blockbusters in the industry. With this massive success, Kalyani has not only delivered the performance of her career but also rewritten the rules of box office dominance. Stay tuned...

Mohanlal's Drishyam 3 Release Date Revealed, As Director Jeetu Joseph Warns Fans

Kochi, September 16 - Malayalam superstar Mohanlal is all set to return as Georgekutty in Drishyam 3, the highly anticipated conclusion to director Jeethu Joseph's cult thriller franchise. The movie was recently announced officially, with the shooting scheduled to take place this month. While fans are eagerly awaiting another gripping and twist-laden thriller, Jeethu Joseph has issued a word of caution. Whenever the audience hears about Drishyam, they start thinking about the twists and turns in the plot, which leave them speechless. But they might have to lower their expectations this time. Addressing speculation about the tone of the new film, Jeethu Joseph revealed (as per India Today) that audiences should not expect Drishyam 3 to be a heavy, mind-bending film like its predecessors. Instead, the narrative will focus more on the evolution of Georgekutty's character after the dramatic events of Drishyam 2. Jeethu explained that this instalment is designed to explore Georgekutty's transformation as a person, his moral dilemmas, and how the weight of past secrets continues to shape his future. Unlike the intricately layered plotting of the first two parts, the third film promises a more emotional and character-driven journey, highlighting the human side of its protagonist. The filmmaker revealed that he has already completed the script. The team is reportedly planning simultaneous production for Malayalam and Telugu versions, continuing the pan-Indian appeal of the franchise. Meanwhile, according to the latest Malayalam media reports, the makers have locked the Eid 2026 release date for Drishyam 3. There have been reports that the makers were looking to release the movie on Christmas 2025, as the shoot is expected to be wrapped quickly. While that option is still available, March 19, 2026, is looking more probable, given the limited time the makers have. If the March 19, 2026 release date holds, Drishyam 3 will arrive nearly five years after Drishyam 2, which released directly on OTT in 2021 due to the pandemic. Meanwhile, the Hindi version of Drishyam 3 is also in development and is expected to start rolling in the first week of October 2025. The Ajay Devgn-fronted film has locked an October 2, 2026, release date for the same. Stay tuned...

Kochi, September 15 – Kalyani Priyadarshan's Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra still has to run few more steps to become the biggest Malayalam grosser, but that historic milestone, it has emerged as the number 1 Mollywood film of all-time on the online ticketing platform BookMyShow. The superhero movie continues to set new milestones at the box office, and topping BMS sales is one of them.

With Lokah still running successfully in cinemas, it is expected to widen the gap at the top in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, Lokah has crossed 250 crores running total at the worldwide box office, and is currently the second biggest Malayalam grosser of all-time.
