MUMBAI: Bhootnath Returns, the sequel to the Amitabh Bachchan starrer Bhootnath (2008), opened to a weak response on Friday but consolidated a bit on Saturday and very well on Sunday to collect Rs 18.2 crore for its opening weekend. The film should sustain today as well because of Ambedkar Jayanti holiday and, in parts for Baisakhi as well.
Main Tera Hero starring Varun Dhawan and Ileana D’Cruz is fair in its first week. The film has managed to collect Rs 36.2 crore.
Youngistan has added Rs 72 lakh in its second week to take its two tally to Rs 5.97 crore. The figure just goes onto show that it is a very poor performer.
Jal has collected about Rs50 lakh in its first week.
Ragini MMS2 has added Rs 1.1 crore in its third week taking its three week total to Rs 46.85 crore.
Queen continues its excellent run at the box office. The film has collected Rs 2.35 crore in its fifth week taking its five week total to Rs 56.45 crore.

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.
