<title>Border 2 Box Office Collections: Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh and Ahan Shetty film tops 250cr in India after 2nd weekend</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Border 2 collected Rs. 20 crore nett on its second Sunday. With that, Sunny Deol headlined war film closed its second weekend at Rs. 46 crore nett approx. That marks a 60 per cent drop from its first weekend, which is a good hold. There was competition from a new release, Mardaani 3, but that was hardly a competition, other than some screen reduction, but at this point in the run and level of business, it doesn&#039;t really need those. 

The film crossed Rs. 250 crore nett yesterday, with its total box office collections standing at Rs. 253 crore nett approx.

Border 2 opened well last week and then showcased an extraordinary trend over the weekend. That made it look like it could go on to collect Rs. 500 crore nett or more. However, the business came down on weekdays, especially on Wednesday, which effectively ruled that out. There were minor concerns that the film may fall further down, but it stabilised on Friday. It then further made gains over the weekend, with Sunday being 2x of Frid ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The highly talented singer, Arijit Singh’s songs have long been the soundtrack to love and heartbreak for millions, but behind the soulful voice lies a deeply personal journey marked by quiet resilience. Recently, Arijit is back in the news due to announcing his retirement from singing, interest has also turned toward the singer’s guarded personal life, one he has deliberately kept away from constant public scrutiny.

Early fame and relationship

Arijit’s first brush with national attention came in 2005 through the reality show Fame Gurukul. During this phase, the multiple award-winning artist reportedly formed a close bond with fellow contestant Ruprekha Banerjee. Years later, the two are believed to have married privately. However, the relationship was short-lived and ended in divorce within a year. Neither spoke publicly about the separation, but the period is often described as emotionally turbulent, occurring before Arijit had fully found stability in his career.

<title>Border 2 Worldwide Box Office Collections 2nd Weekend: Sunny Deol&amp;apos;s war drama storms over Rs 352 crore globally in 10 days</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Border 2, starring Sunny Deol in the lead role, is fairing well at the box office. The movie collected USD 1.20 million during its second weekend in the overseas markets. That marks a 56 per cent drop from its opening weekend. With that, the total overseas box office collection for the film has topped the USD 5 million mark, for USD 5.30 million (Rs. 49 crore) approx.

Combined with Rs. 303 crore gross box office from the domestic markets, the worldwide cume for the Sunny Deol film crossed the Rs. 350 crore mark and is now standing at Rs. 352 crore approx. by the end of its second weekend. 

The overseas performance for the film can be termed better than in India, with respect to expectations. As an Indo–Pak war film, it naturally does not receive patronage from sections of the Pakistani and Bangladeshi diaspora. Historically, this genre of Indian nationalist cinema had a relatively limited overseas market, as the Pakistani diaspora once formed a significant share of overseas audiences ]]></description>

<title>Mardaani 3 Box Office Collections: Rani Mukerji film holds decently well on Monday, Nets 19cr in 4 days</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Mardaani 3 collected Rs. 2.25 crore nett approx on its fourth day at the Indian box office. The hold is decent for Monday, though it would have been preferable if it were around Rs. 2.50 crore nett. Still, if the film could stay stable throughout weekdays, that will do the job. If Thursday could be around Rs. 2 crore nett, it will see the film go through and emerge a success.

The four-day total box office collections for the Rani Mukerji starrer stand at Rs. 19 crore nett approx. There should be a growth in business today for discount day, and then the aim will be for Wednesday to not show much drop from Monday. The first week should reach around Rs. 25 crore nett, which, although it will be lower than Rs. 28 crore nett of Mardaani 2, since this film faces lesser competition in the second and third weeks compared to that film, it could catch up and potentially go ahead in the final number.

One thing that has been going wrong with films lately is that the costs have increased a lot. A ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Border 2 collected Rs. 5 crore nett approx on its 2nd Monday. The drop from 2nd Friday is 50 per cent, and 76 per cent from 2nd Sunday. The business has once again dropped a bit much on a weekday. This is unlike films like this, which tend to do better on weekdays relative to urban multiplex films, which are more concentrated on weekends.

The film has collected Rs. 52 crore nett approx in four days of the second week, for the total box office collections of Rs. 259 crore nett approx. The week is headed for Rs. 65-66 crore nett, which will take it around Rs. 275 crore nett by Thursday. 

Border 2 opened well last week and then showcased an extraordinary trend over the weekend. That made it look like it could go on to collect Rs. 500 crore nett or more. However, the business came down on weekdays, especially on Wednesday, which effectively ruled that out. Had the film dropped further on 2nd weekend, that would have put reaching Rs. 300 crore in jeopardy, but the biz stabilised on Friday ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Mardaani 3 is holding decently at the box office. Released on January 30, the Rani Mukerji starrer netted around Rs. 19 crore in 4 days. It is expected to witness a jump today on Tuesday and close its opening week around Rs. 25 crore nett at the Indian box office. If it performs on the expected lines, the movie will break even in 7 days flat. Here&#039;s a look at its expenses and revenues so far. 

Backed by Yash Raj Films, the cop action drama is expected to fetch around a share of Rs. 11.25 crore from the domestic markets by the end of its first week. The overseas share is expected to be around Rs. 3.75 crore. Allied to its non-theatrical revenues of an impressive Rs. 37 crore, the total revenues of Mardaani 3 is likely to reach Rs. 52 crore in its 7 days of theatrical run, which is exactly its cost of production including PnA. For the record, Mardaani 3 is mounted on a budget of Rs. 42 crore. The print and publicity expenses of the film are pegged at around Rs. 10 crore, for a total cos ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Telugu film Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu is showing good legs in the later stages of its run. The film grossed Rs. 6 crore approx in its third weekend, with another Rs. 1 crore plus coming yesterday on Monday. While this is the third week for the film, it is more like the fourth, as it was released on a Monday and yesterday was the twenty-second day of its run.

The total box office collection for the film stands at Rs. 237 crore approx. Out of that, Rs. 209 crore approx has come from the Telugu states. Last week, that seemed like the potential closing number for it, but now it has achieved that already and will likely be reaching around Rs. 215 crore. It ranks seventh highest-grossing film in the Telugu states, which is going to be its final position as it will get close to Salaar and Devara at the fifth and sixth place, but is unlikely to catch them.

MSVPG has overperformed in Andhra Pradesh, particularly in the Coastal Andhra districts, where it is currently the fifth biggest gro ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal starrer Dhurandhar has emerged as one of the biggest films of 2025, delivering a powerful box office performance. The Aditya Dhar-directed film comfortably crossed Rs 1000 crore in collections, a major box office milestone. Now, Pinkvilla has exclusively learned that Yami Gautam will be seen in a special cameo in Dhurandhar: The Revenge. 

According to our sources, “Yami’s role is action-packed and extremely crucial to the narrative. She has already shot for nearly 5 days, and though it’s a cameo, it’s an important part that will leave the audience amazed.”

Yami Gautam has played some outstanding, strong roles. Kaabil saw her portray a blind woman fighting for justice, and she played an intelligence officer in Uri: The Surgical Strike. In Bala, she handled social themes with warmth, but her intense roles in thrillers like A Thursday, Dasvi, Article 370, and HAQ left everyone amazed.

<description><![CDATA[ Drishyam 3, starring Mohanlal in the lead role, is slated to release on April 2, 2026. Amid speculation about whether the film will conclude the franchise or leave room for more sequels, director Jeethu Joseph has now revealed his thoughts on the future of the series.

Is Jeethu Joseph planning to make Drishyam 4 with Mohanlal?

In a recent online interview with Silly Monk Malayalam, Jeethu Joseph revealed that he has no intention of making another sequel to the franchise. The director said, “I have not even thought of it in my dreams. I am trying to end this because even people are asking me to stop it. That’s why I am thinking this way.”

Earlier, there was speculation about whether the franchise would conclude with Drishyam 3 or continue with further installments. Now, it appears that the film will mark the end of the series, with no additional sequels planned.

Outside its state, Karnataka contributed around Rs. 5.25 crore while the movie fetched Rs. 75 lakh collectively from Tamil Nadu and Kerala.

<description><![CDATA[ R Madhavan is on a roll with his recent role in Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar, which has been grabbing considerable attention. The actor has now opened up about how he had to take a break from acting earlier in his career and recalibrate his choice of roles.

R Madhavan on his 4-year acting hiatus

Speaking to Unfiltered Entertainment, R Madhavan said, “Before Saala Khadoos, I had to take a break because I was very disillusioned with the kind of work I was doing. I was shooting in Switzerland, wearing orange pants and a green shirt for a Tamil song. I was standing in the middle of the road when I saw a Swiss farmer sitting there, looking at us with complete disdain, sipping a cup of tea, and wondering what we were doing. I looked at him and thought, ‘You come to Chennai, and I’ll show you who I am.’”

He continued, “I was really offended, but then it suddenly struck me that I was literally dancing to other people’s tunes. I am a public speaker, I know how to handle a gun, fly remote plane ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Taylor Swift was famously absent from the 2026 Grammy Awards, held at the Crypto.com Arena located in Downtown Los Angeles on Sunday, February 1, 2026.

<description><![CDATA[ Naslen and Mamitha Baiju starrer Premalu was released in theatres in 2024 and went on to become a massive box-office hit. While a sequel titled Premalu 2 was announced earlier, it now appears that the project has been shelved by the makers.

Is Naslen and Mamitha Baiju starrer Premalu 2 shelved?

According to a report by the online portal Kerala Box Office, Premalu 2 has been shelved by the makers. The sequel was announced during the success event of the first installment and was reportedly planned on a much larger scale than Premalu.

However, it now seems that the sequel will not move forward. While this remains unconfirmed, early speculation suggested that the final screenplay failed to impress Naslen, leading the actor to step away from the project.

Although these claims are currently based on rumours, an official confirmation from the makers is still awaited.

<description><![CDATA[ Border 2, directed by Anurag Singh, is holding well at the box office. The movie registered a jump of 10 percent on its second discounted Tuesday, adding Rs. 5.50 crore to the tally. The spike was registered because of subsidized ticket prices, otherwise it would have either stayed flat or slipped a bit down. This brings its total cume closer to Rs. 265 crore nett mark at the Indian box office. 

The movie is expected to witness a drop on Wednesday when the ticket prices will be back to normal rates. The Sunny Deol starrer military action drama is expected to wind its second week, making around Rs. 65 crore or so, which will take its entire cume to Rs. 275 crore nett mark and then the movie will march towards the Rs. 300 crore club. 

Border 2 started off on a good note and then it recorded a superb trend over the weekend. That made it look like it could go on to collect Rs. 500 crore nett or more. However, the movie slowed down significantly on the weekdays, especially on Wednesday, w ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Mardaani 3 recorded a good jump of 20 per cent on its first Tuesday. The cop action drama collected around Rs. 2.50 crore, taking the 5-day cume to Rs. 21.35 crore nett at the Indian box office. The Rani Mukerji starrer needs to hold very strongly on Wednesday now. Furthermore, it should aim not to drop below the Rs. 2 crore mark tomorrow. If it manages to perform on the projected lines, the movie will have a good base before entering the second weekend. 

The Rani Mukerji starrer recorded a jump on Tuesday due to discounted ticket fares. Interestingly, the movie recorded higher admissions on Tuesday than its opening day and around 80 per cent of what the movie had on Saturday. This goes on to show how audiences are there for films at the right price and then there are some in trade which keep blabbering nonsense about Discount Tuesdays which is the best thing to come out of exhibition in recent years. 

Based on the current trends, the movie is expected to wrap its opening week in the ]]></description>

In a chat with Screen Rant, the director shared how he feared her being unable to fit right in on the Indian playground.

Priyanka Chopra’s return to Indian cinema was worrisome forthe  Varanasi director, here’s why
SS Rajamouli had valid reasons for worrying about the fit of his female lead on the Varanasi sets. “It’s been a while since she did an Indian film. I think the last one she did was eight years ago.

The makers of Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur’s Dacoit have officially postponed the film’s theatrical release, shifting it from March 19 to April 10. The decision was taken to avoid a major box-office clash with Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar: The Revenge and Yash’s Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups, both of which are slated to arrive in cinemas on March 19.

<description><![CDATA[ The Brooklyn Beckham-Nicola Peltz and David Beckham-Victoria Beckham feud is getting bigger by the day. One party that has stayed silent so far is the billionaire Peltz family, who seems not to want to involve themselves in the Beckhams’ business. The actress’s father, Nelson Peltz, was recently asked to comment on the ongoing public row, and he reacted with a mostly similar take about wanting to keep his personal life private. However, he also expressed his support to his daughter and son-in-law, showing just whose side he is on. 

Nelson Peltz reacts to Brooklyn Beckham’s rant against his mum and dad, accusing them of ‘controlling’ his life

As reported by TMZ, the 83-year-old was chatting with the media at a Q&amp;A session at the WSJ Invest Live event in West Palm Beach, Florida, when he was asked about his daughter’s in-laws.

If you’re planning to watch the movie on OTT this week, here’s the Pinkvilla review for you to check out.

The Plot

Nari Nari Naduma Murari follows the story of Gautham, a young architect who falls in love with Nithya during a trip to Kerala. As they develop feelings for each other, the couple decides to get married, but their relationship is opposed by Nithya’s father, Ramalingaiah, who believes their love is not genuine.

At Nithya’s insistence, Ramalingaiah eventually agrees to the marriage but demands that it be a court marriage. This initially makes Gautham hesitant, but he ultimately agrees.

Soon after, Gautham reveals to his father, Karthik, that he had previously entered into a court marriage with his college sweetheart, Dia, which is still legally valid. This revelation makes him fear that the tr ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Dhurandhar has more or less exhausted its box office run. The Ranveer Singh starrer has collected Rs. 786.50 crore nett approx in India and USD 30.10 million (Rs. 271 crore) from overseas markets. That gives it a worldwide box office gross of Rs. 1215 crore approx. It will probably add another crore or two to its tally. Dhurandhar is the highest-grossing Bollywood/Hindi film of all time, excluding China. 

On the recovery front, the film has generated nearly Rs. 600 crore, placing it among the highest recoveries ever for a Bollywood film. Only Jawan and Pathaan are ahead, both of which had higher recoveries from non-theatrical rights and overseas share. The film will be netting around Rs. 300 crore in profits, which is one of the highest ever in industry history. 

Dhurandhar, now a duology, was originally a very expensive single film, costing around Rs. 400 crore. The decision was taken to split the film into two, just days/weeks before the release and what a decision that has turned  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Director Anil Ravipudi is currently basking in the success of the Chiranjeevi-starrer Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu. As the filmmaker is expected to return to the big screen for Sankranti next year, it appears that he has locked in the main cast for his next film.

Are Venkatesh Daggubati and Fahadh Faasil set to share the screen?

According to a report by Gulte, Venkatesh Daggubati is set to collaborate with Anil Ravipudi once again. It has now been reported that Fahadh Faasil may appear as the second lead in the film.

Speculation also suggests that Pooja Hegde might play the female lead. However, these remain rumours for now, as the makers have yet to make an official announcement.

The upcoming film is reportedly similar in tone to Anil Ravipudi’s previous comedy entertainers, such as F2 and F3. With the film expected to arrive during Sankranti 2027, the music and background score will reportedly be composed by Bheems Ceciroleo.
