MUMBAI: Eros International Media Ltd, a leading global company in the Indian film entertainment industry, has announced a very successful performance of its Marathi release Boyz 2 which has collected Rs. 13 crores within 10 days of its release on 5th October.
Distributed by Eros International across 375 screens, the sequel to director Vishal Devrukhkar's super hit Boyz, Boyz 2, presented by Everest Entertainment and Eros International in association with Avadhoot Gupte and Supreme Motion Pictures Production had a hugely successful first week of Rs. 10 crores and collected Rs. 3 crores in its second weekend. The film continues to run successfully across cinemas.
Eros’ other October releases including the critically acclaimed horror fantasy Tumbbad and Sriram Raghavan’s engaging crime thriller Andhadhun starring Ayushyamann Khurrana and Tabu that Eros released in the international markets have also fared well to rave response.
Speaking on the success of its recent releases, Sunil Lulla, Managing Director, Eros International Media Ltd said, “It’s been an interesting mix of genres that we have presented to audiences this month, from comedy to horror and crime thriller, each of which has met with a very encouraging response. We want to continue remaining focused on contributing good cinema across languages that caters to all audience taste”.
MUMBAI: Mumbai is about to witness something it has never seen before. The Global Youth Festival arrives on 6-7 December at Jio World Garden with 15,000 attendees and 60-plus experiences sprawled across six sprawling arenas. On its sixth edition, this is no ordinary jamboree—it is a carefully orchestrated collision of wellness, adventure, arts, music, yoga and social change.
Chief Minister of Maharashtra Devendra Fadnavis will throw open the proceedings with a landmark ceremony, signalling the state’s backing for a movement that has already mobilised youth across 20-plus countries and 170-plus cities. The sheer scale is staggering: 500-plus volunteers powering the machine, 600,000-plus volunteer hours logged across previous editions, and millions of lives touched annually.
The speaker roster is formidable. Diipa Büller-Khosla and Dipali Goenka, chief executive of Welspun India, will share the stage with Malaika Arora in conversations spanning leadership, creativity and culture. Union Minister for Sports and Youth Affairs Mansukhbhai Mandaviya will also attend, reinforcing GYF’s reach into the corridors of power.
But this is not mere talk. The Solaris Mainstage promises concerts from renowned Indian artists. Innerverse delivers a 360-degree LED spectacle of art, technology and sound. The Love and Care Arena houses hands-on projects spanning women’s empowerment, child education, rural upliftment and animal welfare. India’s largest outdoor sound-healing experience awaits. An inflatable obstacle course, neon drifter karts and open-sky bouldering cater to thrill-seekers.
Some have branded GYF the “Coachella of Consciousness.” Others call it “India’s Largest Sober Festival.” Spiritual visionary Pujya Gurudevshri Rakeshji, who inspired the festival, will deliver the Wisdom Masterclass. Every rupee goes to charity.
After Mumbai comes Kolkata on 14 December. New York looms next year. For one weekend in December, Mumbai becomes the epicentre of youth-driven change—and nothing will be quite the same after.
