Excel releases X-Men Origins: Wolverine on DVD and Blu-ray
MUMBAI: Excel Home Videos and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment have released X-Men Origins: Wolverine, starring Hugh Jackman, on Blu-ray disc and DVD.
Directed by Gavin Hood (Rendition) and starring Hugh Jackman, the film is the fourth instalment of the X-Men film franchise and serves as a prequel to the previous instalments, being primarily set roughly ten to seventeen years before the film X-Men.
This first chapter in the X-Men saga sinks its razor-sharp adamantium claws into the mysterious origins of Logan-Wolverine (Hugh Jackman): his epically violent and romantic past, his complex relationship with Victor Creed-Sabretooth (Liev Schreiber) and the ominous weapon X programme that unleashes his primal fury.
The X-Men Origins: Wolverine is presented in widescreen on a 50GB dual-layer disc authored in BD-J with AVC (MPEG 4) compression with English 5.1 DTS HD master audio and has as an added feature: Wolverine Unleashed – deleted and alternate scenes.
The DVD and Blu-ray disc is available at all leading stores for Rs 499 and Rs 1,199 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.
