OUATIMD fails to cash in on Independence Day release
MUMBAI: Once Upon A Time In Mumbai Dobaara starring Akshay Kumar, Imran Khan and Sonakshi Sinha could reap only limited benefit of its release on 15th August holiday as the screens available to it were limited. Thereafter, as the reports were unfavourable, the film could not grow over the weekend. The film ended its four-day weekend with Rs 34.6 crore.
Chennai Express starring Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone has become the biggest weekend grosser as well as setting a fantastic record for the biggest first week collections. With paid previews included the film has set a new benchmark of Rs 142 crore for week one. With the week’s new release not enjoying favourable reports, the film will stand to gain in its second week run.
B A Pass has been able to sustain through its second week. The film collected Rs 1.25 crore in second week to take its two week total to Rs 6.6 crore.
Ramaiya Vastavaiya has added a symbolic Rs 12 lakh in its fourth week taking its four week total to Rs 25.97 crore.
D-Day has finally remained much below its merits, managed a meagre Rs 10 lakh in its fourth week taking its four week total to Rs 19.6 crore.
Bhaag Milkha Bhaag the biopic on the great Indian athlete Milkha Singh also called “the flying sikh” starring Farhan Akhtar and Sonam Kapoor has collected Rs 2.5 crore in its fifth week to take its five week tally to Rs 105.25 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.
