Dhurandhar 2 box office prediction: After 27 days, the film looks set for a Rs. 1140 crore lifetime finish in India

There's no longer any doubt that Dhurandhar 2 is a blockbuster. That question has been settled for a long time. Now the talk is about where the film will end up. After a big start and a strong run in theaters, the latest trends suggest that Dhurandhar 2 is likely to finish its India box office journey around Rs. 1140 crore.

The film currently has a total of Rs. 1053.50 crore after 27 days, including paid previews.

 During the fourth weekend, it earned Rs. 6.50 crore on Friday, went up to Rs. 12.50 crore on Saturday, and then added Rs. 14 crore on Sunday. This increase showed that the film still has a strong audience and that there's still enough interest to cause big weekend jumps. However, the Monday after that brought in Rs. 5 crore, followed by Rs. 6.50 crore on Day 27. These are still good numbers for a film that has already crossed the Rs. 1000 crore mark, but they also show that the run is now in a more stable phase.

In simple terms, Dhurandhar 2 is still earning money, but it's not in the phase where big daily surprises are expected.

 The film is now adding collections in a more steady way.

With more than Rs. 1053 crore already collected, there's enough room for it to earn another Rs. 80-90 crore from here.

 In fact, a total of around Rs. 1140 crore would still be a huge achievement. It would show just how strong the film was during its opening phase and how well it kept the audience interested over several weeks. The only difference now is that the final part of the run is more about maintaining the current level rather than increasing quickly.

As things stand today, Rs. 1140 crore seems like the most reasonable and well-supported estimate for the total collection of Dhurandhar 2 in India.

Kartik Aaryan starrer Naagzilla to release during Valentine’s Day weekend 2027

The highly anticipated fantasy comedy film Naagzilla, produced by Dharma Productions and Mahaveer Jain Films, has been delayed from its original release date. The movie, starring Kartik Aaryan, was set to premiere on August 14, 2026, which was the Independence Day weekend — a popular time for big Bollywood movies.

Now, the release has been moved to the Valentine’s Day weekend on February 12, 2027.

Naagzilla, directed by Mrighdeep Singh Lamba, is a visually rich film with lots of special effects.

 Kartik Aaryan plays a snake that can change its shape.

This film brings together Kartik Aaryan and filmmaker-producer Karan Johar, along with producer Mahaveer Jain.

 It has already attracted a lot of attention for its unique idea and big scale.

With the new release date during the Valentine’s Day weekend, the film is expected to appeal to a different group of people, using its mix of fantasy, comedy, and romance to draw crowds to theaters.

The delay also means Naagzilla won’t be competing with Sunny Deol’s Lahore 1947, which is set to come out on August 13.

 Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, the movie is produced by Aamir Khan Productions.

Naagzilla is directed by Mrighdeep Singh Lamba, who is known for directing the three films in the popular Fukrey series.

 The film also features Preity Mukhundhan alongside Kartik.

Varun Dhawan in talks for Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri’s Operation Sindoor

Varun Dhawan made an impact in nationalist cinema with his heartfelt performance in *Border 2*. Since then, he has received many offers for war and army-themed movies, but he is being careful about which projects he chooses. With offers coming from different studios like Dharma Productions, Maddock, Sajid Nadiadwala, and Tips, it has been confirmed that Varun is in talks with Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri and Bhushan Kumar for *Operation Sindoor*.

A trusted source shared with source, "Varun has been offered *Operation Sindoor*, and he is interested in taking the lead role.

 Vivek and Bhushan approached him with the main character, and Varun has already shown interest in the story. He is expected to hear the full script soon and then decide on the project."

The source added that Varun recently took a short break from acting to spend time with his daughter, Lara, and is now back in shape to sign new projects and get back into filming. "

He is preparing for the release of *Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai* on May 22, and plans to start a new film by July. He is meeting with writers and directors now and is likely to finalise his next project soon."

Varun has been in discussions with producer Bhushan Kumar for several projects since *Border 2*, and one of them is *Operation Sindoor*.

 Bhushan and Varun are considering a multi-film collaboration, and more updates are expected in the coming months.

No direct-to-OTT release for Maatrubhumi; Salman Khan determined to bring his film to cinemas

On Saturday, April 11, source reported that, based on instructions from the Ministry of Defence, China will not be named in the Salman Khan film Maatrubhumi. The news spread quickly and became a hot topic in Bollywood as well as on the national stage. At the same time, rumors started floating around that the movie might not be shown in theaters and that the team was thinking of releasing it directly on an OTT platform. However, Bollywood Hungama has now confirmed that these rumors are not true.

A source told, "Salman continues to be a big star and he has made Maatrubhumi on a grand scale.

 It's a film meant for the big screen, so he and director Apoorva Lakhia are determined to show it in theaters once the issues with the film are sorted out."

An industry insider said, "Some people wrongly believe that there's no censorship on OTT platforms.

 Because of that, they think Salman Khan can just skip the theatrical release and put the movie on OTT without any trouble. But that's not correct. Every film that comes directly to streaming services also has to go through a certification process, just like any movie shown in theaters. So even for a direct-to-OTT launch, the government must approve the film before it's shown to the public."

On April 11, source quoted a source who said, "Earlier, the film was based on a real event.

 But based on the request from the Ministry of Defence, Salman Khan and director Apoorva Lakhia reshooted parts of the movie by adding a fictional twist. Because of this, around 40% of the film was reshot as they added some romantic scenes and backstory. The makers submitted the new version, hoping to get the necessary approval. However, the Ministry is still cautious."

The source added, "One of the requests to Salman Khan was that the film should not mention China.

 This was communicated to the makers beforehand. The version of Maatrubhumi that was submitted earlier this month does not mention China at all." The source also said that only the core team of Maatrubhumi knows how the neighboring country is depicted or mentioned without actually naming it.

Akshay Kumar reveals son Aarav was scared of Vidya Balan for six years after watching Bhool Bhulaiyaa: “He had developed a problem with her”

Actor Akshay Kumar recently shared a personal story about how his son Aarav was affected after watching the movie Bhool Bhulaiyaa for the first time. He said the film left such a strong impression on him that he was scared of Vidya Balan for several years. Akshay spoke about this while promoting his new movie Bhoot Bangla, directed by Priyadarshan, during an event in Delhi.

He explained that the two movies are very different in style and theme.

 Bhool Bhulaiyaa is a psychological thriller where the story starts with someone being possessed, but later it turns out to be a mental issue. Bhoot Bangla, on the other hand, is a horror fantasy with a more clear explanation about the characters and their actions. He also mentioned that Bhoot Bangla is made for a younger audience.

Akshay also shared how his son was scared of Vidya Balan for six years after watching Bhool Bhulaiyaa.

 He said his son thought she was the character Manjulika from the movie. Whenever she came home, the boy refused to look at her or meet her. He even believed she was still Manjulika. Akshay had to explain to his son that she was just Vidya, a real person who was kind. But it took a long time for his son to believe that. For six years, he kept seeing Manjulika in her.

The movie Bhool Bhulaiyaa, released in 2007, is one of Vidya Balan's most memorable roles.

 Her portrayal of Manjulika left a lasting impact on audiences, and many people still associate her with the character.

Ahaan Panday to play gangster in Ali Abbas Zafar’s next, Jimmy Sheirgill joins cast: Report

After the success of Saiyaara, actor Ahaan Panday is preparing for a completely different kind of role in his second movie. According to a report by Variety India, he will play a gangster in a new action-romance film directed by Ali Abbas Zafar.

This role is quite a change from his first film, where he played a troubled musician dealing with past issues.

 For this new project, Ahaan is said to have trained hard, including learning how to fight and use weapons, to match the character's intense and aggressive presence on screen.

The report also mentions that Jimmy Shergill has joined the cast in an important role.

 This film is his comeback to work with Yash Raj Films after more than 20 years. One of his most famous roles with the company was in Mohabbatein, where he acted with Shah Rukh Khan.

So far, there is no official information about the story or other cast members.

 However, the film is being described as a fast-paced action-romance that tells a love story against a backdrop of violence. Filming started in Mumbai on April 3 and will continue there through the month. The next part of the shoot is expected to take place in London in May. The makers plan to finish filming by July and have a theatrical release planned for early 2027.
