Drishyam The Conclusion has taken the Drishyam franchise into a new box office league. With the third instalment now standing at Rs. 212 crore nett in India, the three-film franchise has collectively crossed the Rs. 500 crore mark, with its combined India nett collection reaching approximately Rs. 519.67 crore. The achievement is a striking reflection of how the franchise has grown with every instalment. The original Drishyam, released in 2015, ended its theatrical run at Rs. 67.13 crore. Seven years later, Drishyam 2 delivered a huge jump, finishing at Rs. 240.54 crore. The first two films had therefore accumulated Rs. 307.67 crore between them. Drishyam The Conclusion has now added another Rs. 212 crore to that total, taking the franchise to Rs. 519.67 crore. In other words, the third film alone has contributed more than two-thirds of the combined business generated by the first two films. The speed of this transformation is what makes the milestone particularly impressive. Before t...

The Delhi High Court has sought a response from Salman Khan in connection with an application filed by filmmaker Amit Jani, who has sought a stay on proceedings in the actor’s civil suit concerning the proposed film Kala Hiran: The Battle for Legacy. The matter was heard before Justice Anup Jairam Bhambhani, with Jani’s counsel arguing that the reliefs sought by Khan in the present proceedings substantially overlap with those in an earlier suit that is already pending adjudication before the High Court. During the hearing, Jani’s legal team contended that Khan has effectively initiated parallel litigation concerning the same subject matter. On that basis, counsel argued that proceedings in the subsequent suit should remain stayed until the earlier matter is finally decided. Representing Salman Khan, Senior Advocate Ravi Prakash undertook to place the actor’s formal counter-affidavit on record in response to the application. The court also sought clarity on the precise basis of the rel...

Kriti Sanon has revisited the controversy surrounding her GIVA jewellery advertisement, recalling how the campaign’s fashion choices became the subject of intense television debates. During her appearance on Season 6 of Kareena Kapoor Khan’s What Women Want, the actress reflected on the scrutiny female celebrities often face over their clothing and admitted that she was surprised by the scale of the discussion around her outfit. The conversation touched upon moral policing and the disproportionate attention often directed towards women in the public eye. Recalling the aftermath of the GIVA campaign, Sanon said, “I couldn’t believe… when my choli had become like a six-person panel discussion on prime-time news.” Kareena immediately acknowledged her sentiment, responding, “I know.” The controversy dates back to GIVA’s Raksha Bandhan campaign featuring Sanon. The actress was seen in a contemporary Indo-western ensemble comprising a white bralette-style choli, a sheer cape and an embroide...

The phenomenal performance of Drishyam The Conclusion has taken the Drishyam franchise to the top of a significant box office chart for Ajay Devgn.

The Drishyam franchise has collectively amassed Rs. 519.67 crore at the India box office, putting it ahead of the Singham franchise, which stands at Rs. 509.27 crore. The gap between the two franchises is currently Rs. 10.40 crore, underlining just how closely the two properties have competed on the theatrical front. The change at the top has largely been driven by the exceptional response to Drishyam The Conclusion. The original Drishyam had collected Rs. 67.13 crore during its theatrical run, before Drishyam 2 delivered a massive jump with Rs. 240.54 crore. The third instalment has now added Rs. 212 crore nett to the franchise tally, taking the comb...

Producer Prakash Mahobiya has opened up about the theatrical performance of Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha, alleging that the mythological drama faced negative marketing and online campaigns that affected its reach. In an interview with India Today, Mahobiya claimed that the film did not get an adequate opportunity to reach audiences and suggested that an upcoming big-budget film based on the same epic may have influenced the online narrative. However, he stopped short of naming any project or filmmaker and said he could not confirm the information. Speaking about the film’s reception, Mahobiya said, “It was negative marketing throughout. We never got a chance to reach our audience. The ones who watched our film really enjoyed it. But if they never got to see it, how will they even have an opinion?” The producer further claimed that he had been told about efforts involving digital creators to discourage audiences from watching the film. He said, “From what we have been told, there are o...
