No teaser, no motion poster! Sanjay Leela Bhansali plans immersive Love & War launch

Sanjay Leela Bhansali has always liked to do things differently, and it seems he’s doing it again with his new movie Love & War.

Bollywood Hungama has learned that this film, which stars Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal, won’t start its promotion with a regular teaser or motion poster.

  

According to an industry insider, Bhansali is personally working on a special promotional material that will be the first look for the film.

The team is planning to release it in August, which will be the start of their promotional campaign.

“The makers are going against the usual way of launching a film.

Instead of a standard teaser or poster, they are making a special promotional item that will be the first time people see the film.It is meant to be an immersive experience, created by Bhansali with his trusted team,” the source said.

This choice matches Bhansali’s style, where every visual detail is carefully designed to make viewers feel connected to the story.

Instead of revealing character posters or a regular teaser, Bhansali is creating an experience that shows the scale, mood, and emotion of Love & War long before the full marketing begins.

Insiders say the special asset is almost ready, with Bhansali involved in every part of its creation.

If everything goes according to plan, audiences can expect to see the first official glimpse of the film in August, giving fans a taste of Bhansali’s big vision.

While the exact format of the asset is still a secret, insiders say it will be more than a simple video.

The goal is to create an event-like reveal that immediately immerses people in Bhansali’s world, setting the stage for what is expected to be one of the biggest Hindi films of the year.

Love & War is the first time Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal are working together on a film directed by Bhansali, making it one of the most talked-about projects recently.

The film has been getting a lot of attention since its announcement, with fans eagerly waiting for any news from the director’s team.

If everything goes as planned, the first look of Love & War could be a big deal, showing Bhansali’s belief that the story starts long before the movie even begins.

Ramayana trailer FINALLY out: Sunny Deol missing but Yash AMAZES as Ravana; Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi IMPRESS in the grand 3D spectacle

In recent times, very few movies have created as much buzz as Ramayana.The marketing started almost a year and a half before the film's release, in July 2025.Since then, the team has been organizing events around the globe, with more planned.Finally, the much-anticipated trailer was released online on the morning of July 30.Bollywood Hungama got an early look at the trailer 10 days before its public release at a cinema in Mumbai, and it was clear that watching it on a big screen in 3D was a special experience.

The earlier promotional material focused on Lord Rama, played by Ranbir Kapoor, while the trailer introduces several other characters.

However, the character that stands out the most is Ravana, played by Yash.The trailer opens with him, and the way he is presented is sure to impress viewers.His fierce appearance and action scenes are especially eye-catching.Many actors have played Ravana before, but Yash's portrayal is unique and distinct, without a doubt.

Meanwhile, Lord Rama, known as Maryada Purushottam, also gets a lot of attention.

Ranbir Kapoor’s performance looks graceful and divine, creating a perfect contrast with Ravana’s arrogant personality.

Besides Yash, Sai Pallavi also makes a strong impression as Sita.

She looks poised and convincing.Other actors like Lara Dutta, Rakul Preet Singh, Ravie Dubey, Arun Govil, and Vivek Oberoi also appear in the trailer.Unfortunately, Sunny Deol, who plays Lord Hanuman, does not feature in the four-minute-plus trailer.But there are no complaints, as the trailer does a great job of building excitement for Ramayana.

Ramayana trailer FINALLY out: Sunny Deol missing but Yash AMAZES as Ravana; Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi IMPRESS in the grand 3D spectacle

The scale of the film is impressive, and the 3D effects are also very good.

A particular sequence featuring Airavata, the divine white elephant, is especially beautiful.However, there are a few small issues.The grandeur is similar to that of Baahubali and may not surpass it.While this might not be a big problem, with reports suggesting more than Rs.1,000 crores has been spent on the film, one would expect the visuals and scale to be even better.Fortunately, this is just a minor issue and is unlikely to impact the overall excitement around the film.

The trailer is certain to draw a huge audience, and moviegoers will get the chance to watch it in all its glory on the big screen alongside Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

The superhero movie is expected to have the biggest opening ever for a Hollywood film in India.As a result, the Ramayana trailer will get wide exposure in cinemas, which is exactly how a film of this scale should be experienced.The trailer does its job well, and it’s clear the film is set to make a huge impact during the Festival of Lights.

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

It 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 on Diwali 2027.

Karan Johar shares heartfelt Guru Purnima note for Shah Rukh Khan and Aditya Chopra: “You both are the only reason I can tell stories today”

On Guru Purnima, which fell on July 29, filmmaker Karan Johar paid a warm tribute to Shah Rukh Khan and Aditya Chopra, thanking them for helping shape his journey in the film industry.He shared an emotional message on social media, along with old pictures, and talked about two important conversations that changed his life and inspired him to become a filmmaker.

Karan remembered the time before the making of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995).

He had planned to leave Mumbai for more studies, but Aditya Chopra called him at around 1 a.m.and asked him to help on the film.During that call, Aditya encouraged him to go into filmmaking.

Karan said, “I was dramatic and had a lot of film dreams, and I just needed a break because I was always working hard (not the kind of treadmill you find in gyms).

He told me I would make a big mistake if I didn’t pursue this path.I couldn’t sleep that night and, in my dramatic way, went to my father the next morning and asked for a year on a film set.He looked at my tired eyes (they looked like tears, but were really just from lack of sleep and a developing stye) and asked, ‘Son, will you know what to do on a set?’”

Karan admitted he had no experience on a film set but promised his father, the late producer Yash Johar, that he would work hard and follow every instruction.

He added, “He said, ‘That will make you a producer.To be a director, you need only passion.’ I was passionate, but I wasn’t sure if anyone would believe me at that time.Only Adi did.Only him.”

He also recalled another important moment with Shah Rukh Khan during a trip to Switzerland before Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.

He said, “My next conversation was with Bhai @iamsrk on a hilltop in Switzerland.I was looking at the mountains, pretending to be homesick and looking for sympathy.He came to me and said, ‘You will become a director, and I will star in your first film.’ I thought to myself, ‘He might be low on oxygen and not fully aware of what he’s saying.’”

According to Karan, Shah Rukh kept his promise after returning to India and continued to support him, eventually helping launch his directorial career with Kuch Kuch Hota Hai in 1998.

Expressing his thanks, Karan said, “I love you Adi and Bhai.I am here with my strengths and flaws, my ups and downs, my wins and my losses—all because of both of you.You both are the only reason I can tell stories today.#happygurupurnima.”

Karan Johar was last involved as the producer of Chand Mera Dil.

Aditya Chopra recently supported the film Alpha.Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan is preparing for his upcoming release, King, directed by Siddharth Anand, which also stars Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Arshad Warsi, along with special appearances by Rani Mukerji and Deepika Padukone.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day set to defeat Avengers: Endgame in India; tops Rs. 35 crore in advance booking

Spider-Man: Brand New Day, starring Tom Holland, is making a big impact at the box office in India.The superhero movie is aiming to break records for a Hollywood film in the country.Based on current early bookings, it has a good chance of beating Avengers: Endgame to become the biggest opening for a Hollywood film in India.

So far, the movie has already sold Rs.

35 crores worth of tickets just for the first day, and there are still about 36 hours left before the film officially releases.The final advance bookings could reach up to Rs.50 crores, which would make it a huge success right from the start.

For those who may not know, Avengers: Endgame made Rs.

53.50 crores on its opening day.Spider-Man is hoping to beat that and start with around Rs.55 to 60 crores.However, walk-ins might be low because most of the tickets in big cities are already sold out.

The film has already sold around 3.75 lakh tickets in the top three cinema chains – PVRInox and Cinepolis – and is expected to sell up to 5 lakh tickets on opening day alone.

The pre-sales are also doing really well in smaller chains and single-screen theaters, which means the exhibitors are expecting a very busy week.

Spider-Man is on track to make history, as the movie is still selling a lot of tickets during the extended opening weekend.

The total earnings for the four-day period could reach as high as Rs.225 crores in India.

He explained that success depends on staying connected with people, no matter what job you have.

Dhamaal 4 Box Office Prediction: Film heads towards a lifetime collection of Rs. 165 crores

Dhamaal 4 has been doing well at the Indian box office and has now made Rs.148.43 crores in 18 days.If it keeps going at this pace, it is likely to end up with total collections of around Rs.165 crores.

Dhamaal 4 started strong, making Rs.

13.72 crores on its first day.It did even better over the weekend, collecting Rs.22.48 crores on Saturday and Rs.28.15 crores on Sunday.That means it made a total of Rs.64.35 crores for the opening weekend.The film stayed popular during the weekdays and ended its first week with Rs.94.45 crores.It crossed the Rs.100-crore mark during its second weekend and made Rs.39.75 crores in its second week, totaling Rs.134.20 crores.

Dhamaal 4 continued to draw crowds during its third weekend.

It made Rs.2.32 crores on Friday, Rs.4.45 crores on Saturday, and Rs.5.83 crores on Sunday, bringing the total for that weekend to Rs.12.60 crores.It then made another Rs.1.63 crores on Monday, taking the total to Rs.148.43 crores.It is expected to pass the Rs.150-crore mark soon.

Though new movies will come out soon, which may affect the collections, Dhamaal 4 is still likely to continue earning money for a few more weeks, especially in places where comedy and family films do well over time.

Based on the current trend, the film may earn another Rs.

15 to 18 crores during its remaining time in theaters.That would take its total collection to somewhere between Rs.163 crores and Rs.167 crores.A total of around Rs.165 crores seems to be the most realistic outcome right now.
