Bollywood Hungama had reported last week about the screen-sharing issues faced during the release of Batwara 1947 and Awarapan 2. The issue has cropped up in the second week of these films as well. A trade source told Bollywood Hungama, “PVR Inox Pictures, the distributors of Batwara 1947, have asked several single-screen cinemas to play one show of their film from tomorrow, August 21. However, the single-screen exhibitors are bewildered by this demand. Batwara 1947 has underperformed, more so at single screens. Moreover, Awarapan 2 continues to do huge business. The single screens wish to play all shows of Awarapan 2 to meet the demand. However, they won’t be able to cater to that demand fully due to the directive to allot shows to Batwara 1947.” The source also said, “On the other hand, Awarapan 2’s distributor has put forth two conditions. One is that they want all shows in single screens. The theatres have no problem with this demand. However, they have also asked for all shows of...

Sonu Nigam has opened up about his legal battle with Bihar-based criminal lawyer Sonu Nigam Singh, whose social media account was allegedly mistaken for that of the singer. The dispute, which involved alleged misuse of the singer’s identity and personality rights, has now been settled following an amicable agreement between the two parties. The Bombay High Court recently disposed of the commercial intellectual property suit after the singer and the lawyer reached a settlement. However, Sonu Nigam has said that he is not completely satisfied with the outcome and believes that cases involving digital impersonation and identity rights require stricter legal action. Speaking about the issue, the singer said, “I quit X in 2017 but this person kept impersonating me. If I met President Droupadi Murmu, he would post a photo as if I am posting it. It is cruel to put someone’s name, reputation and life at risk.” Nigam further claimed that the alleged impersonation had consequences for him and h...

Isha Koppikar recently addressed the label of ‘andhbhakt’ while speaking about her love for India and her belief in contributing towards the country’s progress. The actress made it clear that her devotion is not towards any political party but towards her nation. Her remarks have now received support from actress turned politician Kangana Ranaut, who responded to Isha’s video on social media. Isha shared the video on her Instagram handle on Tuesday, explaining why she does not shy away from calling herself a ‘bhakt’ or an ‘andhbhakt’ when it comes to her country. Kangana reacted to the post and highlighted instances from her own life where she says she stood up against injustice and violence. “Wow well explained for me as- in high school protested against a teacher who used to hit children in head with stick during assembly, protested against 26/11 violence. Protested against Nirbhaya brutality. Never blamed parents for any limitation that may have come my way. Instead uplifted whole ...

Awarapan 2 has continued its strong run at the box office after its opening weekend, with the Emraan Hashmi starrer recording Rs. 8.89 crore on its first Monday. The film has consequently emerged as the fourth-highest first Monday grosser of 2026, putting it ahead of several major Hindi releases of the year. The Monday hold is particularly encouraging because it indicates that the film's strong weekend business has translated into weekday footfalls. Awarapan 2 has collected Rs. 8.89 crore, edging past Welcome To The Jungle, which recorded Rs. 8.24 crore, and Dhamaal 4, which earned Rs. 8.18 crore on their respective first Mondays. The Emraan Hashmi starrer is therefore ahead of the two films by 7.9% and 8.7%, respectively. At the top of the chart, Border 2 remains the year's biggest first Monday grosser with a massive Rs. 63.59 crore, followed by Dhurandhar: The Revenge at Rs. 59 crore. Spider-Man: Brand New Day occupies the third spot with Rs. 23.30 crore, meaning Awarapan 2 ...
