Sunil Subramani’s ‘Fuddu’ slated for release later this year
NEW DELHI: The Hindi film Fuddu, which became controversial late last year for its title but received accolades from foreign delegates at the Film Bazaar of the International Film Festival of India (IFFI), is expected to release later this year.
Speaking to Indiantelevision.com, the film’s director Sunil Subramani said that the film had been liked by international delegates who had come to the IFFI in November last year.
Fuddu was also screened at the Jagran Film Festival this year to a packed house, Subramani said.
A comedy produced under the banner of Mahima Productions, the film revolves around the character Mohan played by Shubham who comes from Benares and is disturbed to see how people live in cramped houses in Mumbai city. His entire world tilts upside down when his wife leaves him for reasons, which are untrue. His family too discards him and disrespects him.
Fuddu is an emotional film with a pinch of humour about how a man tackles such a situation. The film is directed by Sunil Subramani, who was an associate of Anurag Basu for 17 years.
The film stars Shubham, Swati Kapoor who is a known face in Punjabi cinema, Dilip Merala, Pradeep Gupta, Paritosh Sand and Pawan Kumar Sharma who has also written the script of the film, among others. The film has been produced by Pradeep Gupta and has music by Rana Majumdar.

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.
