Bookings for Saawariya open at Inox, Cinemax
MUMBAI: In a meeting that took place on 2 November between Sony Pictures India and the multiplexes, Sony has agreed to release Saawariya in Mumbai‘s multiplexes for 50 per cent of the revenue in the first week, 40 per cent in the second and 30 in the third. The same for other smaller territories is 50:50, 42?:57?, 35:65.
On the other hand, Eros is yet to arrive at a decision with the multiplexes except for Inox, which is the distributor of Om Shanti Om in Kolkata. Hence Inox will start advance bookings of both movies from tomorrow and will play both movies on 9 November in its Kolkata properties.
Om Shanti Om advance bookings open only at INOX multiplexes across the country from Sunday, 4th November 2007. This will give cine buffs the opportunity to book their OSO tickets only at INOX multiplexes, much before the rest of the country does.
As for Adlabs, the stalemate continues said the spokesperson. “As until yesterday there was no progress with the negotiations,” said Adlabs spokesperson Anjali Malhotra. “And if there has been any progress today we have no news and hence am unable to make any statement.”
Its status-quo for PVR and the spokesperson Karan said that the meeting for the same is scheduled for Monday only after which a statement could be made.
For Cinemax the deal is half-clinched as Saawariya will be playing at all their screens and the booking had also begun as of today. This was confirmed by VP, marketing, Devang Sampat. ” But as for OSO the negotiations are still on. We will be able to comment only by Monday,” he said.
Amita Naidu of Eros said that as talks between the respective parties are still underway she would provide an update only early next week.

Dhurandhar returns to theatres worldwide on March 13 ahead of Dhurandhar The Revenge release
Jio Studios re-releases blockbuster across 500 screens globally before sequel
MUMBAI: The spy saga of Dhurandhar is gearing up for a big-screen encore before its next chapter arrives.
Ahead of the release of Dhurandhar The Revenge on March 19, Jio Studios and B62 Studios are bringing the original Dhurandhar back to cinemas worldwide in a rare international theatrical re-release.
The global blockbuster is returning across nearly 500 screens, including around 250 in India from March 12 and another 250 overseas beginning March 13.
For fans of the franchise, the move offers a chance to revisit the film that ignited the high-octane spy-action universe just days before the sequel lands in theatres. It also sets up a rare back-to-back big-screen experience, allowing audiences to relive the original before diving straight into the next chapter.
While re-releases of popular films are occasionally seen in India, international re-runs of Hindi films remain uncommon. The scale of the rollout reflects the growing global appetite for the franchise.
In North America alone, Dhurandhar will return to theatres across nearly 185 screens, highlighting the strong anticipation surrounding the upcoming sequel.
The excitement is set to build further with special Wednesday premiere shows of Dhurandhar The Revenge scheduled across the US and Canada on March 18, a day ahead of its global release. Many of these premieres will be hosted on premium large format screens, featuring wall-to-wall displays, immersive sound systems such as Dolby Atmos, enhanced projection and luxury seating.
These formats are typically reserved for major Hollywood event films, and early bookings suggest strong demand with several shows already sold out.
The recently released trailer of Dhurandhar The Revenge has also sparked buzz among exhibitors and trade circles, with expectations running high for the film’s international performance.
Dhurandhar The Revenge is written, directed and produced by Aditya Dhar. The film is produced by Jyoti Deshpande and Lokesh Dhar.
Jio Studios presents a B62 Studios production, an Aditya Dhar film.
The spy-action thriller will release worldwide on March 19, 2026, in five languages including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.
The film arrives in theatres globally on the occasion of Gudi Padwa and Ugadi, just ahead of Eid, setting the stage for a festive box office run.
