Shemaroo releases Pangaa Gang on home video
MUMBAI: Within weeks of its theatrical release, Shemaroo Entertainment has released its latest 3D CGI animation film Pangaa Gang on home video.
Directed by Pankaj Sharma, the film deals with deforestation that is one of the contributing factors to the global environmental concern.
Pangaa Gang is set in modern times, in a beautiful place called Shantivan. The story follows the adventures of four kids with extraordinary powers, as they set out to defend their homeland, from unwelcome intruders.
Pangaa Gang exhibits friendship, action, emotions and is a fun filled ride with top of the line 3D CGI animation. Says director Sharma, “The film is one with a message.
“Through regular interactions between children and animals we have tried to tackle issues of ‘deforestation‘ that is a topical subject. Most importantly, through this animation film we have taken a dig at people who cut woods without knowing what harm this would bring in to the people at large.”
On being quizzed as to why the film is being brought on home video just few weeks of its theatrical release, Sharma avers, “This is because of the multiplex strike last year.
“In fact Bal Ganesh 2 was to release after this, but since it released earlier and there was question of the film going beyond its stipulated period, we had to withdraw the film. Otherwise, the film got good a response.”
While the DVDs of the film are inclusive of board games and stickers, the VCDs come along with stickers.
The DVDs and VCDs of Pangaa Gang are priced at Rs 199 and Rs 99 respectively.

Dhurandhar the revenge storms past Rs 1,000 crore in a week, rewrites box office records
Aditya Dhar’s spy thriller sets fastest run to Rs 1,000 crore with record-breaking weekday hold
MUMBAI: The box office has a new juggernaut—and it is moving at breakneck speed. Dhurandhar the revenge has smashed past the Rs 1,000 crore mark worldwide in just a week, clocking a staggering Rs 1,088 crore and resetting the rules of the blockbuster game.
Backed by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, and directed by Aditya Dhar, the spy action sequel opened to the biggest weekend ever for an Indian film globally—and then refused to slow down. Unlike typical tentpole releases that taper off after Sunday, this one powered through the weekdays with rare muscle, posting Rs 64 crore on Monday, Rs 58 crore on Tuesday, Rs 49 crore on Wednesday and Rs 53 crore on Thursday.
The numbers stack up to a formidable first-week haul. India collections stand at Rs 690 crore nett and Rs 814 crore gross, while overseas markets have chipped in Rs 274 crore, taking the worldwide total to Rs 1,088 crore in just eight days.
The film’s opening weekend alone delivered Rs 466 crore, laying the foundation for what is now being billed as the fastest climb to the Rs 1,000 crore club in Indian cinema. Every single day of its first week has set fresh benchmarks, from the highest opening weekend to the strongest weekday hold—metrics that typically separate hits from phenomena.
A sequel to the earlier hit Dhurandhar, the film has not just built on its predecessor’s momentum but obliterated previous records, emerging as the biggest global blockbuster run by an Indian film to date.
At this pace, the film is not merely riding a wave—it is creating one.
