Adipurush Sells Over 1 Million Tickets In Advance For The Opening Day
Mumbai, June 15 - One of the most anticipated Indian films of the year, Adipurush is finally hitting big screens tomorrow in multiple languages. The movie, based on the epic Ramayana, is directed by Om Raut and stars Prabhas as Lord Rama, Kriti Sanon as Sita, and Saif Ali Khan as Raavan, among others in key roles.



"Adipurush" is the major attempt to adapt Ramayana and it seems that the Indians are eager to experience this epic on the big screen which is clearly visible in the pre-booking. The advance booking of the movie was opened on Sunday (June 11) and since then, the response to pre-sales has been exceptional.





The movie has sold over 1 million tickets in advance for all versions, and becomes the second Indian movie of the year to score this much sales after "Pathaan". The advance tickets sold are around 1.2 million (not counting block seats), which is the highest this year.





The Hindi version of the movie has sold around 500K, which is short of "Brahmastra: Part 1" (600K tickets). The Telugu version has sold around 700K advance tickets and the other versions have seen low advance booking.





"Adipurush" is expected to score 100-110 crores gross domestic opening in all versions which will be the highest this year and third biggest post the covid-19 pandemic for an India title. If the movie gets favorable reviews, then it has a chance to compete with all-time biggest grossers.

Unexpected Challenge For Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna's Thamma From Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat

Mumbai, October 16 - Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna's horror comedy Thamma was expected to be the clear Diwali showstopper, being the only major Bollywood release with bankable stars during the festive weekend. However, the landscape seems to be shifting unexpectedly. Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa's romantic drama Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, which initially appeared to be a smaller contender, is steadily gaining momentum. The film's buzz has reportedly grown stronger in recent days, surprising trade analysts and exhibitors alike. According to reports, the makers of Deewaniyat have now demanded equal showcasing in national multiplex chains, challenging Thamma's presumed dominance. This development marks an unforeseen twist in what was shaping up to be a solo Bollywood Diwali release. While Thamma was poised to secure the lion's share of shows across major circuits, as many believed it would get for being a potential blockbuster due to its connection with Maddock Horror Comedy Universe (MHCU), the confidence of Deewane Ki Deewaniyat's producers indicates they believe the film's current buzz and audience curiosity could put it on par with the Ayushmann"“Rashmika starrer. "PVRInox is the distributor of Thamma, and one of the top management employees of PVRInox is now a part of Team Thama, heading distribution. The Deewaniyat team has asked all the national chains to go by the demand among the audience, rather than the foul play of leveraging equations for better showcasing", Bollywood Hungama reports. On the other hand, the Thamma producer Dinesh Vijan of Maddock Films and the senior former PVRInox executive have demanded 75 per cent shows, leaving only 25 per cent for Deewaniyat. If both parties don't come to a solution soon, the advance booking of both films, which are scheduled to open on October 17 ahead of their October 21 release, might be delayed. It remains to be seen how exhibitors balance screens between the two films, but one thing is clear "” Diwali 2025 just got a lot more interesting for Bollywood fans and the box office alike.

Kantara Reigns Supreme in 2025: How This Blockbuster Achieved Unprecedented Success While Other Big Releases Struggled to Leave a Mark

The year 2025 witnessed a remarkable surge of South Indian films reaching Hindi-speaking audiences, but among them, Kantara stood out as the true phenomenon. Earning ₹656 crore worldwide(As of Now), with ₹155.35 crore (As of Now)coming from its Hindi release alone, driven by strong word-of-mouth, the essence of the story infused every small cultural nuances that connected the audience irrespective of language. Its compelling narrative and relatable characters turned it into a pan-India experience, setting benchmarks for Hindi-dubbed releases. While Kantara dominated, other releases like Coolie, Game Changer, and Mirai achieved only moderate results in Hindi markets. Coolie collected ₹37.23 crore in Hindi, supported by pre-release hype, a high-profile cast, and action-packed promotions. Game Changer earned ₹32.93 crore, contributing about 17.7% to its worldwide total of ₹186.28 crore, thanks to star power, fan anticipation, and premiere shows. Similarly, Mirai, with a pan-India cast and mythological-fantasy storyline, garnered ₹16.85 crore in Hindi from its ₹144.02 crore worldwide total. While these films had niche appeal, repeat viewings, and targeted promotions that helped them sustain for a few weeks, they could not replicate the kind of Hindi market success Kantara enjoyed. Films like Lokah Chapter 1 (₹3.74 crore) and They Call Him OG (₹3.32 crore) performed modestly, maintaining presence in select multiplexes. While films such as Coolie, Game Changer, and Mirai managed moderate collections, none could match the impact of Kantara across the northern and central belt audiences. Despite having pan-India casts, high-octane action, and visually impressive sequences, these films fell short of truly resonating with viewers. Their performance highlights that star power or production scale alone is not enough to guarantee widespread success. To achieve blockbuster status beyond the South, a film must combine compelling storytelling with cultural relatability, emotional depth, and narratives that transcend linguistic boundaries. Strong promotions, word-of-mouth momentum, and strategic release planning are important, but the core of a hit lies in connecting with audiences on an emotional and experiential level"”something Kantara accomplished with remarkable finesse. Future filmmakers aiming for pan-India success must focus on stories that engage viewers beyond spectacle, creating immersion, relatability, and lasting impact.
