Box Office: Baaghi and The Jungle Book – great run
Sarbjit, with its choice of subject and casting, was not expected to carry much appeal and it did not. With its lacklustre treatment, length and lack of soul, it failed to touch the audience. The film had a poor opening day with a marginal increase on Saturday and Sunday. It ended its opening weekend with collections of Rs 12.1 crore. The film has dropped further from today.
Azhar, a biopic on Indian cricketer Azharuddin, which claims to be based on the cricketer’s life, took the help of a disclaimer at the very start of the movie to twist and turn the events that happened during this cricketer’s tenure as a player as well as captain of the Indian team, to make a victim out of him. Not expected to strike a chord with the audience, it failed badly. The film managed to put together just Rs 28.95 crore for its first week.
Dear Dad had a poor run in its first week.
Buddha In Traffic Jam made a symbolic presence at the box office by collecting about Rs 30 lakh for its first week.
1920 London has collected Rs 2.1 crore in its second week to take its two week tally to Rs 4.2 crore.
Traffic added Rs 30 lakh in its second week taking its two week tally to 3.5 crore.
Baaghi has had a great run at the box office as it collected Rs 3.1 crore in its third week taking its three eek total to Rs 77.6 crore.
The Jungle Book has had an excellent run at the box office even during its sixth week as the film went on to collect Rs 4.3 crore to take its six week total to Rs 179.45 crore.

Zee5 and Applause Entertainment team up for whodunnit ‘Everybody Loves Sohrab Handa’
Rajat Kapoor directs star-studded murder mystery streaming from 10 April.
MUMBAI: Zee5 is serving up another killer collaboration and this time, the murder mystery comes with a generous side of dark humour and family dysfunction. The streaming platform has partnered with Applause Entertainment and Mithya Talkies to bring Everybody Loves Sohrab Handa, a fresh, twisted whodunnit written and directed by acclaimed filmmaker and actor Rajat Kapoor. The film will stream exclusively on Hindi Zee5 from 10 April.
The movie reimagines the classic murder mystery genre with a contemporary, darkly comic edge. It revolves around a group of friends and family who smile, drink, and celebrate together until the silence snaps and long-buried secrets spill out. The stellar ensemble cast includes Vinay Pathak, Ranvir Shorey, Waluscha De Sousa, Saurabh Shukla, Chandrachoor Rai, Neil Bhoopalam, Koel Purie, Palomi Ghosh, and Rajat Kapoor himself.
This latest offering continues the successful partnership between Zee5 and Applause Entertainment, which has previously delivered diverse hits such as Mithya, Bloody Brothers, and Jab Khuli Kitaab.
&TV Business Head of hindi Zee5 and chief channel officer Kaveri Das said, “Our collaboration with Applause Entertainment has consistently delivered distinct, high-impact storytelling. Everybody Loves Sohrab Handa is a natural progression, reinforcing our focus on genre-led content with a compelling whodunnit premise and a strong ensemble cast.”
Applause Entertainment business head for movies Sunil Chainani added, “This film adds yet another compelling layer to our slate with Rajat Kapoor’s unmistakable voice.”
Rajat Kapoor shared, “What interested me was not just the mechanics of a whodunnit, but the emotional violence that precedes physical violence. These are people who smile at each other, but there’s so much that is not said.”
The film promises razor-sharp writing, layered performances, and simmering tension, inviting viewers not just to solve the crime but to unravel the complex relationships at its heart.
If you love a good murder mystery served with wit and emotional depth, Everybody Loves Sohrab Handa looks set to be your next addictive watch. Mark your calendars, the whodunnit drops on Hindi Zee5 from 10 April.
