Box Office: Housefull 3 does well amidst other disastrous releases
MUMBAI: Te3n opens to a poor response only to do a little well over the weekend to drop again as the new week begins. The film, which opened weak, improved marginally on Saturday and Sunday to end its opening weekend withRs 10.7 crore. The Monday drop being inevitable, the prospects are not bright.
*Do Lafzon Ki Kahani is poor and fails to draw the audience. While Randeep Hooda is accepted in certain characters, accepting him playing a romantic hero is rather asking for too much. To add to that, he and Kajal Agarwal make no chemistry. This love story spells disaster. The film collected a poor Rs 2.2 crore for its opening weekend.
*Houseful 3 did very well to end its first week with an impressive Rs 80.4 crore. The film has also been maintaining well during its second weekend and promises to emerge a safe project.
*Waiting collects Rs 50 lakh in its second week to take its two week tally to Rs 2.4 crore.
*Phobia collects Rs 10 lakh in its second week to take its two week total to Rs 3.05 crore.
*Sarbjit adds Rs 90 lakh in its third week to take its three week total to Rs 26.95 crore.
*Project Marathwada, Veerappan and Fredrick prove total loss adventures.

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.
