After a three-year absence from the big screen, superstar Shah Rukh Khan will return this year with the highly anticipated action entertainer, King. A special announcement promo unveiled in January confirmed that the film would arrive in cinemas on December 24. In recent weeks, however, speculation has been rife that King might miss its scheduled release and be pushed to 2027. Bollywood Hungama has now learnt that there are no plans to postpone the film and that King remains firmly on track to release on December 24, 2026. Significantly, King will arrive amid three major Hollywood releases. December 18 will witness the epic clash between Avengers: Doomsday and Dune: Part Three. Avengers: Doomsday is expected to take a thunderous start; in fact, the extraordinary box office performance of Spider-Man: Brand New Day has further underlined the massive demand for Marvel films among Indian moviegoers. In comparison, Dune: Part Three is likely to appeal to a relatively niche audience. Howeve...

Main Vaapas Aaunga is nearing the end of its impressive theatrical journey. The film collected Rs. 5 lakhs in its eighth weekend, taking its cumulative box office collections to Rs. 65.22 crores. The film collected Rs. 1 lakh on its eighth Friday, followed by Rs. 2 lakhs each on Saturday and Sunday. As a result, its eighth-weekend collections amounted to Rs. 5 lakhs. Eighth weekend breakdown: Friday – Rs. 0.01 cr. Saturday – Rs. 0.02 cr. Sunday – Rs. 0.02 cr. Notably, Bollywood Hungama had predicted that Main Vaapas Aaunga would conclude its theatrical run with lifetime collections in the range of Rs. 64 to Rs. 66 crores. With the film’s total now standing at Rs. 65.22 crores, the prediction has proved to be accurate. The film is unlikely to add significantly to its total from this point, given the limited number of shows and the arrival of newer releases. Nevertheless, its ability to remain in cinemas for eight weekends underlines its strong word of mouth and sustained audience appre...
