Dhamaal 4 Box Office: Scores a SOLID first week, all set to GROW in the second weekend

It was a strong first week for Dhamaal 4 as the movie did very well all throughout the week.It started off nicely, and the real increase happened on Saturday when the movie rose by more than 50%, which was impressive.Even if Sunday had only slightly increased, that would have been good, but the momentum kept going and led to more growth, which made the weekend very successful.

The weekdays also went well, with both Monday and Tuesday being very solid, though there was a slight drop on Wednesday and Thursday was similar, which was expected.

Overall, the first week saw consistent footfall and also gave one of the best collections for a Bollywood film in 2026, after Dhurandhar The Revenge and Border 2, which is quite impressive.In fact, if the film had also had paid previews, the total collection could have gone up by about Rs.2-3 crores.

Right now, the film has earned Rs.

94.45 crores and is expected to cross the Rs.100 crores mark today.The first week is actually better than the previous instalment, Total Dhamaal, which had collected Rs.94.55 crores.While the lifetime collection of Total Dhamaal was Rs.154.23 crores, that is the first target that Dhamaal 4 is aiming for in the coming weeks.There isn’t a major Hindi film for the next few weeks, though The Odyssey may compete at larger multiplexes.Still, there is expected to be good growth again tomorrow and the next day with family audiences coming in, which should help the film become a hit overall.

Paresh Rawal calls Akshay Kumar’s Rs 25 crores legal notice over exit from Hera Pheri 3 “an emotional reaction”: “How could he say no to me?”

Months after the controversy around his leaving Hera Pheri 3, experienced actor Paresh Rawal talked about why he stepped back from the project.In a recent interview with Vickey Lalwani, he explained that his decision was not related to Akshay Kumar and instead had to do with contract issues involving the rights of the franchise.

Last year, Paresh's exit from the film became a topic of discussion after Akshay Kumar's production company, Cape of Good Films, sent him a legal notice asking for Rs 25 crores in damages.

They claimed he broke the contract and caused financial loss.However, the situation was settled when Paresh agreed to come back for the film.

"I needed Firoz Nadiadwala's approval," Paresh said, explaining the situation.

"There was never any problem with working with Akshay Kumar.It wasn't about feeling uncomfortable.It was about a contract.If I wanted to do the film, I needed Firoz's approval because he owns the Hera Pheri franchise and other films like Awara Paagal Deewana and Welcome.Without his approval, I couldn't commit."

He also mentioned that the legal issues made him decide to walk away: "When the legal notice came, I thought, 'Why am I getting involved in this?

Am I here to enjoy making the film or get stuck in legal problems?' I told myself I didn't want to be part of it anymore."

Paresh also shared his thoughts on the Rs 25 crores legal notice sent by Akshay's production house.

Instead of seeing it as a personal attack, he thought it was more of an emotional reaction: "I really believe the legal notice was more of an emotional response.He might have felt upset or confused when I said no."

He added that even though there was a disagreement, he and Akshay didn't need to talk about it for long: "We didn't sit down and discuss everything, but we worked together afterwards.

Sometimes, you don't even need to say the words.That's just the polite way to handle things."

Paresh's exit from Hera Pheri 3 last year caused a lot of talk among fans of the franchise.

Shortly after his announcement, Cape of Good Films claimed Rs 25 crores in damages, accusing him of breaking the contract and sabotaging the film.

Awarapan’s first part to re-release in cinemas on July 31; to CLASH with Spider-Man: Brand New Day

The buzz around Awarapan 2 is really big, and people in the movie business think it will start strong when it comes out.Taking advantage of this excitement, it has been announced that the first part of Awarapan (2007) will be shown again in theaters two weeks before the launch of Awarapan 2.

A source told , "Awarapan will be shown again on July 31.

The first part still has a lot of appeal because of the cast, the story, the emotions, and the big moments.Plus, the music is still popular and timeless.That’s why it was decided to show it again before the release of Awarapan 2."

The same source added, "It will be shown at the same time as the big Hollywood movie Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which comes out in India on July 30.

Spider-Man is expected to be a huge hit, and it’s not surprising if Awarapan’s re-release also gets a lot of people coming to the theaters."

An industry insider explained, "Even though Awarapan didn’t do well when it first came out, it became a cult favorite through TV, video, and streaming.

There are also many people who were too young or not even born when it first came out.They would love to watch it on the big screen.Many fans also wish they had seen it in theaters at first.This feeling of missing out has made people more interested in seeing it again.Similar movies like Tumbbad, Sanam Teri Kasam, and Laila Majnu did badly at first but became big hits with re-releases for the same reason.Awarapan is expected to follow the same path when it comes back to theaters on July 31."

Awarapan was made by Mohit Suri and had Emraan Hashmi, Shriya Saran, Ashutosh Rana, Ashish Vidyarthi, Shaad Randhawa, Purab Kohli, Mrinalini Sharma, and others.

Awarapan 2, on the other hand, stars Emraan Hashmi, Disha Patani, and Shabana Azmi, and is directed by Nitin Kakkar.It will be released in theaters on August 14.

4-minute-15-second-long trailer of Ramayana passed by CBFC with a ‘U’ certificate

A few days are left until the Ramayana trailer is released, and people are really excited.Today, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) gave the green light to the trailer.

The Ramayana trailer got a 'U' certificate from the CBFC and is approved for release. The 4-minute-15-second promo has been cleared by the board.

 

The CBFC approved the Ramayana trailer today, July 15, with a 'U' certificate. Since the film is more than three months away from its release, many people expected it to be a short promo, maybe less than 2.5 minutes or 3 minutes. But that's not true. The trailer actually runs for 4 minutes and 15 seconds.

The CBFC website shows two entries for the Ramayana trailer. One is called 'Trailer - Ramayana 3D', and the other is called 'Theatrical Trailer - Ramayana 3D'.The first one is 4 minutes and 15 seconds long, and the second one is 4 minutes.It's still unclear which one will be released online first.

This will be the third piece of content that the makers of Ramayana have released. The first one was unveiled last year on July 3.Earlier this year, on April 2, the makers introduced a teaser called 'Rama' on the occasion of Hanuman Jayanti, focusing on the lead character, Lord Rama, played by Ranbir Kapoor.The 'Rama' teaser was 2 minutes and 38 seconds long and also received a 'U' certificate.

Ramayana stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman, and Ravie Dubey as Lakshman.

The film is directed by Nitesh Tiwari, known for Dangal (2016), and produced by Namit Malhotra.The music is composed by A R Rahman and Hans Zimmer.It is a two-part saga, with the first part releasing on Diwali 2026, and the second part coming out on Diwali 2027.
