As Raja Shivaji is all set to FINALLY break Sairat’s 10-year record, experts congratulate Riteish Deshmukh: “Whenever he does a Marathi movie, he SHAKES up the box office”

The popular historical film Raja Shivaji, made by Jio Studios and Mumbai Film Company, has made Rs. 84.70 crores in just two weeks. Directed by Riteish Deshmukh and starring him in the main role, the film is doing well, and people in the trade and industry are excited to see if it will reach the Rs. 100 crore mark. Soon, it will cross the Rs. 90 crore mark, which means it will beat the ten-year-old record of Sairat (2016), and become the highest-grossing Marathi film ever.

Source talked to experts to know what Raja Shivaji's success means and how Marathi cinema can become more popular.

 Adinath Kothare, a famous actor and producer, said, "This is a big milestone. I want to congratulate Riteish Deshmukh for taking this big and brave step."

Taran Adarsh, a trade veteran, added, "Raja Shivaji is a big achievement for Riteish, especially for making a film like this.

 Topics like this can cause problems, but there have been no issues. People love the film, and that's shown in the box office numbers. Only Riteish could have made this happen!"

He also said, "We have started to accept Telugu cinema more because they have been dubbed in Hindi.

 Similarly, we need to accept stories from other regions. Raja Shivaji is a good example of that. Sairat was a great film by Nagraj Manjule. Riteish has already proven himself in Marathi cinema with Ved."

Shariq Patel, former CEO of Zee Studios and supporter of many Marathi films, said, "Such numbers help the whole industry.

 It gives people the courage to aim higher. Marathi cinema is known for quality and awards. So, this kind of success is excellent, especially if it breaks Sairat's record."

Ganesh Matkari, an author and film critic, shared, "This is a big box office milestone.

 Earlier films about Chhatrapati Shivaji only covered specific parts of his life. This film, Raja Shivaji, covers many events, which is new. I haven't seen the film, but I hear it shows Chhatrapati Shivaji in a different way than other films."

Industry people are hopeful for the future.

 Shariq Patel said, "After Ved's success, I talked to Riteish and asked us to invest more and make big hits in Marathi cinema. He is a superstar in Marathi, and I'm happy he made this iconic film. He doesn't do many Marathi films, but whenever he does, it makes a big difference. Hopefully, Marathi cinema will start seeing big numbers now."

Taran Adarsh said, "This is a very good sign for Marathi filmmakers who want to think big and go pan-India.

"

Adinath Kothare said, "The success of Raja Shivaji will open many new doors for Marathi cinema.

 This film shows that we can dream big in Marathi cinema as well."

Anupria Goenka to make her Cannes debut with Bombay Stories; reveals, “Proud of War and Tiger Zinda Hai; thoroughly enjoyed shooting for them…Dhurandhar was a fabulous film”

May is an important month for Anupria Goenka. Her movie, IIZ: Indian Institute Of Zombies, was released on May 15, which is her first time appearing in a movie theater after four years. She will end the month in a happy way as she celebrates her birthday on May 29. That's not the only reason to be excited. She also has another special event this month—she will make her first appearance at the Cannes Film Festival this year.

Anupria Goenka told source exclusively, "I am going to Cannes for the premiere of the film called Bombay Stories.

 It's being shown in the market section; it's not part of the official festival lineup. Still, this will be my first time visiting Cannes."

She added, "After that, I plan to travel around.

 I haven't visited much of Europe; I've only been to the UK. So, for my birthday this year, I want to do something different and visit other countries (smiles)."

She also shared, "I will leave for Cannes on May 18, after IIZ: Indian Institute Of Zombies releases on May 15.

 Wish me luck (smiles)!"

Anupria on YRF Spy Universe

Anupria Goenka has been part of two successful films from the YRF Spy Universe—Tiger Zinda Hai (2017) and War (2019).

 The franchise has come under scrutiny after the release of another spy film, Dhurandhar (2025) and its sequel, Dhurandhar The Revenge (2026).

When asked about the criticism towards the YRF Spy Universe, Anupria said, "I don't know much about it.

 The way I live and work, I don't really find out what's happening. I am very proud of both War and Tiger Zinda Hai and I really enjoyed shooting for them. I also liked watching Pathaan (2023). For me, War and Tiger Zinda Hai were beautiful, fun movies. Dhurandhar, on the other hand, is a different kind of entertaining film. There should be space for everything. Everyone has their own taste in movies. I really enjoyed Dhurandhar and felt it was a great film. I'm happy that such work is being done in India. At the same time, I have a lot of respect for War and Tiger Zinda Hai, not just because I was part of them, but also because I loved them as a viewer."

Regarding Tumbbad 3, the film will start production right after the release of Tumbbad 2, and Alia's inclusion has made the trilogy even more exciting.

Dhamaal 4 moves to July 17; Ajay Devgn and Akshay Kumar’s gentleman’s agreement avoids major box office clash

In a big change for Bollywood's movie schedule in 2026, the film Dhamaal 4 has moved its release date from July 3 to July 17, 2026. This change was made to avoid conflicting with Akshay Kumar's big comedy film Welcome to the Jungle.

According to people who know about the movie industry, this decision came from a direct talk between Ajay Devgn and Akshay Kumar.

 Both actors agreed that having two big comedy movies come out just a week apart might hurt each other's success at the box office. Instead of letting them compete directly, they decided to space them out so both can do well at the theaters.

Welcome to the Jungle, directed by Ahmed Khan, will come out on June 26, 2026.

 It has a big group of actors including Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Jackie Shroff, Raveena Tandon, Disha Patani, Jacqueline Fernandez, Arshad Warsi, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Johnny Lever, Lara Dutta, Shreyas Talpade, Tusshar Kapoor, and more.

Dhamaal 4 brings back the main stars of the series like Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, Sanjay Mishra, and Jaaved Jaaferi.

 It also adds new actors such as Esha Gupta, Sanjeeda Shaikh, Anjali Anand, Upendra Limaye, and Ravi Kishan.

With this new plan, both movies now have a three-week time frame, which is seen as perfect for today's movie market to build word of mouth and make more money during weekends.

Industry experts think this change could make Summer 2026 the biggest comedy season in a long time for Bollywood, with both films as separate events rather than competing against each other.

What's most impressive is how the situation was handled.

 Instead of letting a big box office battle get out of control, Ajay Devgn and Akshay Kumar chose to work together, which many in the industry are calling a sign of maturity and good thinking.

DHAMAAL 4 is produced by Gulshan Kumar and T-Series, with Devgn Films, T-Series Films, Maruti International, and Panorama Studios.

 The film is directed by Indra Kumar and produced by Ajay Devgn, Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Ashok Thakeria, Indra Kumar, Anand Pandit, and Kumar Mangat Pathak. The movie is ready to make people laugh in theaters from July 17, 2026.

 However, the spokesperson for Rohit Shetty Picturez has now clarified that all these reports are false and not true.

 Any figures or financial details that are being reported now are just rumors and not true. We are making this film with a lot of love for all of you. We just ask for your support along the way."

Golmaal 5 is one of the most awaited films from director Rohit Shetty, with fans eagerly waiting for news about the next part of the popular comedy series.

 In addition to Akshay Kumar, the film also stars Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade, Sharman Joshi, and Kunal Kemmu, among others.
