Second Whistling Woods institute to be in Hyderabad
MUMBAI: The second Whistling Woods International Institute in India will come up in Hyderabad. The Government of Andhra Pradesh has allotted over 20 acres of land near Jubilee Hills for the same.
Soon after YSR‘s nod, the Government machinery sprung into action and allotted 20 acres of land to WWI. The possession of the land was received on 15 October.
Thanking the Andhra Pradesh government, founder-promoter Subhash Ghai said, “Whistling Woods International and Mukta Arts are grateful to the Government and the people of Andhra Pradesh to help us set up a world-class institute – Whistling Woods International – in Hyderabad. We promise to stand committed.”
Whistling Woods International that already has its branch in Spain with the help of the Government of Spain is all set to replicate WWI‘s education model in various states of India and abroad like UK and Singapore.

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.
