Box Office: ‘ABCD 2’ collects Rs 45.5 crore in opening weekend
MUMBAI: Youth and the growing fan following for young stars, Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor, earned a positive welcome to ABCD 2 with a Rs 14.4 crore opening day. The film maintained similar figures on Saturday, not improving but also not dropping. With figures being the best at over Rs 17 crore, the film ended its opening weekend with Rs 45.5 crore. The film will have to sustain well through the week to justify its high cost. It has the advantage of three small films as oppositions next week.
Hamari Adhuri Kahaani pays for being a depressing film with a poor script. Not designed to be an entertainer, the film does not even tug at one’s emotions. Having opened to a weak response, it stays that way to collect Rs 26.65 crore in its first week. The film dropped drastically in its second weekend.
Dil Dhadakne Do has made the most of poor opposition and has managed to have some hold at the box office to collect Rs 15.5 crore in its second week to take its two week total to Rs 69.9 crore.
On the other hand, Tanu Weds Manu Returns maintains a strong trend holding its own with collection figures of Rs 8.25 crore in its fourth week to take its three week tally to Rs 146.38 crore.
Piku collected Rs 15 lakh in its sixth week to take its six week total to Rs 79.92 crore, whereas Gabbar Is Back collected Rs 17 lakh in seventh week to take its seven week total to Rs 80.22 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.
