UFO defends in reply to IMPPA’s notice
MUMBAI: : In its reply to the showcause notice sent by IMPPA, UFO Moviez India Ltd has said that it has designed fool-proof systems which obviate any possibility or attempt to commit offences such as piracy.
The IMPPA had sent a showcause notice to UFO soon after it came to light that a UFO employee had been apprehended by the anti-piracy cell of the Mumbai Police. Soon after, the company terminated the services of Rajesh Chawdhary.
It further states that piracy generally takes place when the raw data of the film is made available on hard-disks and ferried from one production house to another at the time of release.
The company has, thus, suggested that the producers should create digital master of their films only at the laboratory where the digital intermediate work is undertaken and a direct input of the digital master be given into their system and an encrypted file of the same be created.
By this, two major things could be achieved. First, the unencrypted content will continue to remain in the final post-production house instead of being carried around all over India and secondly, the producer could control the entire process.

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.
