‘Humpty…’ & ‘Hate Story 2’ lead at BO
MUMBAI: Pizza 3-D has proved to be a poor performer with few takers turning up at the cinema halls. The film collected Rs 2.5 crore for its opening weekend.
Virr Das is another example of a media made star who don’t work on screen. His Amit Sahni Ki List stays poor in its opening weekend with barely Rs 1.75 crore to show for three days.
Riyasat, Rajesh Khanna’s last screen appearance goes unnoticed and might as well as this was not quite the film the legendary super star deserved to be remembered by.
The only film to draw some audience this week is Hate Story 2, thanks partly to its brand equity and to some extent to the exposure its promotion promised. The film has managed to collect Rs 14.5 crore during its first three days.
Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania is a rare tribute to an all-time classic, Dilwale Dulhania le Jayenge in this case that has worked; usually such tributes or imitations in the name of a tribute backfire. After a sturdy first weekend at the box office, the film remained steady and finished its first week with figures of Rs 51.9 crore. The film is reported to have done steady business in its second weekend too.
Bobby Jasoos managed to put together Rs 1.15 crore in its second week to take its two week total to Rs 10.05 crore.
Ek Villain, almost coming to the end of its run, has collected Rs 3.1 crore in its third week to take its three week tally to Rs 102.5 crore.
Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty collects Rs 30 lakh in its sixth week to take its six week tally to Rs 111.07 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.
