Weak releases help English Vinglish
Mumbai: Aiyyaa, with its poor content, fared poorly at the box office. The film managed to collect Rs 45 million for its opening weekend.
Bhoot Returns 3-D did not find much of audience to scare. The horror story, then, is all about its collection figures which for the first weekend were Rs 34 million.
Makkhi found appreciation but not the necessary patronage and covered Rs 22 million in its opening weekend.
Other releases of the week, Chittagong, Prem Mayee, Login and In The Name Of…Tai added to the also ran list.
English Vinglish, which opened weak on Friday (5 October), gathered momentum on Saturday and Sunday that followed and went on to do steady business through the week to end it with figures of Rs 210 million.
KLPD Kismet Love Paisa Dhokha showed poor figures of Rs 39 million for its first week run.
OMG Oh My God! Performed like a star cast film holding rock steady in its second week with Rs 221 million (Excl: Eastern Circuits) which takes its total tally to Rs 559 million.

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.
