Not so ‘Happy Ending’ at the BO
MUMBAI: Happy Ending is a reasonably funny film but opens weak as the film’s star cast lacks the draw at the box office and depends only on its public reports to sustain. During the weekend, the public reports were fair and so were the reviews, but the collections remained below par at Rs 13.5 crore for its opening weekend.
The other release of the week, Titoo MBA remained very poor.
Kill/Dil maintained well through the week, albeit on the lower side as appreciation was missing. Not a film befitting YRF repertoire. The film has collected Rs 30.82 crore for its first week and adding another Rs 1.54 for the second weekend.
Chaar Sahibzaad (Animation) has made a record jump in its second week thanks to its Punjabi version. This should emerge as the biggest Punjabi hit on religious theme since the 1969 Punjabi film, Nanak Naam Jahaj Hai, produced by the Maheshwaris (Kalpanalok) who have a memorable Hindi hit around the same time in Kaajal, a Raajkumar starrer.
The Shaukeens has added Rs 2.1 crore in its second week to take its two week total to Rs 20.6 crore. Rang Rasiya has collected Rs 75 lakh in its second week to take its two week total to Rs 4.7 crore.
Super Nani has collected Rs 25 lakh in its third week to take its three week total to Rs 29.1 crore. Happy New Year has collected Rs 1.4 crore in its fourth week taking its four week tally to Rs 171.2 crore.

Dhurandhar the revenge storms past Rs 1,000 crore in a week, rewrites box office records
Aditya Dhar’s spy thriller sets fastest run to Rs 1,000 crore with record-breaking weekday hold
MUMBAI: The box office has a new juggernaut—and it is moving at breakneck speed. Dhurandhar the revenge has smashed past the Rs 1,000 crore mark worldwide in just a week, clocking a staggering Rs 1,088 crore and resetting the rules of the blockbuster game.
Backed by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, and directed by Aditya Dhar, the spy action sequel opened to the biggest weekend ever for an Indian film globally—and then refused to slow down. Unlike typical tentpole releases that taper off after Sunday, this one powered through the weekdays with rare muscle, posting Rs 64 crore on Monday, Rs 58 crore on Tuesday, Rs 49 crore on Wednesday and Rs 53 crore on Thursday.
The numbers stack up to a formidable first-week haul. India collections stand at Rs 690 crore nett and Rs 814 crore gross, while overseas markets have chipped in Rs 274 crore, taking the worldwide total to Rs 1,088 crore in just eight days.
The film’s opening weekend alone delivered Rs 466 crore, laying the foundation for what is now being billed as the fastest climb to the Rs 1,000 crore club in Indian cinema. Every single day of its first week has set fresh benchmarks, from the highest opening weekend to the strongest weekday hold—metrics that typically separate hits from phenomena.
A sequel to the earlier hit Dhurandhar, the film has not just built on its predecessor’s momentum but obliterated previous records, emerging as the biggest global blockbuster run by an Indian film to date.
At this pace, the film is not merely riding a wave—it is creating one.
