Hanuman Ansh has found an unexpected late surge at the box office. The film, which released on August 7, has collected Rs. 9.05 crore at the India box office in 19 days, with a significant chunk of its business coming in the last three days. What makes the recent trend particularly striking is the pace at which Hanuman Ansh has picked up. After collecting Rs. 1.57 crore by the end of its second week, the film added Rs. 6.38 crore between August 23 and August 25, accounting for a substantial portion of its overall theatrical earnings. The film collected Rs. 2.58 crore on Day 17, August 23, followed by Rs. 1.26 crore on Day 18, August 24. It then delivered another strong number on Day 19, collecting Rs. 2.54 crore on August 25. Together, the three days contributed Rs. 6.38 crore to the film's total. The turnaround is a sharp contrast to Hanuman Ansh's initial run. The film opened with Rs. 0.10 crore and collected Rs. 0.64 crore over its opening weekend. Its first week closed at ...

The Geethu Mohandas directed Toxic starring Yash, Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria, and Huma Qureshi, has set the box office on fire in Hindi, surpassing all pre-release expectations. According to early estimates, the action-packed thriller has collected in the range of Rs. 48 crore to Rs. 52 crore on Wednesday, thereby emerging the biggest opening of all time for a non-franchise South dubbed feature film. The film has established Rocking Star Yash as one of the biggest crowd pullers in the Hindi markets, capitalising on the historic success of the KGF franchise. The pre-release expectations were in the range of Rs. 30 crore, but Toxic has decimated all estimates to emerge and join the prestigious Rs. 50 crore-plus box office club. The film has collected around Rs. 20 crore in the top 3 national chains - which has contributed around 40 per cent to the total business. The reports are not positive, and the cracks are already visible in the advance booking trends for the second day...

Kriti Sanon has found support from her sister Nupur Sanon after a recent GIVA jewellery advertisement featuring the actor sparked a debate on social media over traditional dressing and the idea of an ‘appropriate’ outfit for family occasions. The campaign, which features Kriti in a bralette-style blouse paired with a cape and a draped skirt, has drawn mixed reactions from netizens, particularly in the context of Rakshabandhan celebrations. Now, Nupur has joined the conversation, extending her support to Kriti. Taking to her Instagram Stories, she questioned why another woman’s clothing choice should become a matter of concern for others. “Imagine being this bothered by what another woman chooses to wear. Respectfully EVOLVE!” Nupur wrote. She further added, “I'm the one she ties the rakhi to, and if I don't have a problem, why do you?” Responding to the criticism, Kriti previously shared her perspective on the festival and the importance of its emotions and traditions over clo...

For 40 days, The Odyssey had a historic performance at the 34 IMAX cinemas of India. The film performed strongly even in the normal theatres but in IMAX, the earnings were rock-solid even after the film entered its sixth week. Sadly, this unbelievable run will now come to a halt, thanks to the release of Toxic, starring Yash, on August 26. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Toxic is carrying tremendous buzz and moreover, it is an IMAX release. Hence, its distributors asked for all the IMAX shows. However, the performance of The Odyssey is at another level. Even after so many days and weeks, several shows across the country are going house-full. In fact, on Tuesday, August 25, the last day of the film in IMAX, the shows were running with huge occupancy. Of course, the discounted rates played a part. But when viewers are turning up in such large numbers on the 40th day, it is a feat.” The source continued, “This proves that there’s a lot of gas left in the tank. Warner Bros, which distri...
