Sidharth Malhotra's Top 5 Opening Weekend Grossers: Param Sundari At No. 4 Behind Student of The Year

Mumbai, September 1 - Bollywood actor Sidharth Malhotra returns to the big screen with the romantic-comedy Param Sundari, which is off to a good start at the box office. The movie carried a decent buzz, which also translated into footfalls on the expected lines. Param Sundari scored the opening weekend collection of around 27 crores net, which is among the biggest of his career, but the biggest opening weekend still belongs to Brothers, which released in 2015 and also starred Akshay Kumar. The action drama opened to good numbers and collected around 52 crore in its first three days. Close behind Brothers is romantic action thriller Ek Villain (2014), which turned out to be a game-changer for Sidharth. With its strong music and gripping storyline, the film earned over 50 crores net in its opening weekend and cemented the actor's standing among the bankable young stars of that time. Sidharth's debut film, Student of the Year (2012), backed by Karan Johar, continues to hold a special place. Despite being a launchpad for three newcomers, Sidharth, Varun Dhawan, and Alia Bhatt, the film impressed at the ticket windows with a 30 crore weekend. More than a decade later, it still outshines some of his recent work, including Param Sundari, when it comes to the opening performance. Just behind Param Sundari, which is the 4th biggest opening weekend grosser of the actor, is Kapoor & Sons (2016), which managed 26 crore despite not being promoted as a mass entertainer. Another notable film is Marjaavaan (2019), which collected over 24 crore but couldn't break into the top five weekend grossers of Sidharth. With Param Sundari placing fourth in his career's biggest opening weekends, it's evident that Sidharth's strongest box office impact so far has come from action-packed or ensemble films. As he continues to explore new genres, fans and trade alike will be watching closely to see if he can surpass the benchmark set by Brothers and deliver an even bigger opening in the future.

Akshay Kumar Opens Up About Playing An Antagonist In Director Priyadarshan's Upcoming Film 'Haiwaan', Co-starring Saif Ali Khan

Mumbai, July 28 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar is on a roll with back-to-back films. He has already released three films so far, and there is one more, Jolly LLB 3, scheduled to hit the big screens this year. The actor has multiple films in the pipeline, including the talk of the town, Haiwaan, directed by Priyadarshan and co-starring Saif Ali Khan. ## Akshay will be portraying the negative role of a ruthless, cold-blooded killer against Saif Ali Khan, who plays a blind man in this crime thriller, after many years. The actor, known for his versatility across action, comedy, and socially conscious films, revealed during an interview with Hindustan Times that Haiwaan completes what he jokingly refers to as his "unintentional trilogy" after Insaan and Jaanwar. ## The upcoming film marks a long-awaited reunion between Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan after 17 years. The reunion is creating quite a buzz in the industry, especially with Priyadarshan helming the project. The director-actor trio — Akshay, Saif, and Priyadarshan — has fans anticipating a gripping blend of action and drama. While it is unconfirmed, reports say that Haiwaan is the remake of Priyadarshan's Oppam, but with a darker, high-octane twist suited to Hindi cinema audiences. ## Interestingly, Akshay Kumar's role as the antagonist is a departure from his usual image, and he seems eager to embrace this change. In the interview, he emphasised that playing a villain offers him the creative challenge he's been looking for. "It's not just about being bad for the sake of it. There's a layered complexity to this character that I'm really excited to explore," he said. His fans, too, are looking forward to seeing him step into a villain avatar — a rarity in his recent filmography. ## Akshay humorously pointed out the difference in the comedic styles of his and Sai Ali Khan, saying, “Saif’s humour is very 'SoBo' (South Bombay), while mine is more Andheri and Borivali." The camaraderie between the two actors is also expected to be one of the film’s highlights. This difference, he believes, will make their on-set dynamic both fun and engaging. ## The shoot of Haiwaan will begin on August 23 in Cochin, with a theatrical release planned for 2026. ## Stay tuned...

Saiyaara First Day Advance Booking Beats Final Advance Ticket Sales of Housefull 5 and Raid 2 At The National Chains

Mumbai, July 17 - Yash Raj Films' romantic drama Saiyaara, starring two newcomers Ahaan Pandey and Aneet Padda, continues to surprise with its advance booking trend. The movie seemingly had a low buzz on social media, but the booking trend is not resonating with that. ## The Mohit Suri's directorial is putting all the pre-release talks in the dustbin and has sold 1,20,000 tickets at the three national chains (PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis) with still 12 hours left for the first show to begin, according to Himesh Mankad of Himesh Mankad of Pinkvilla. This is a historical booking for a movie featuring unknown faces. ## As of 12 PM, the film has sold around 90,000 tickets in PVR+INOX and around 30,000 tickets in Cinepolis for the first day. The final ticket sale count in PIC is expected to be around 1.75-2 lakh, which is phenomenal to say the least. ## Saiyaara Beats Housefull 5 and Raid 2 Final Advance Ticket Count At The National Chains ## Such has been the response that Saiyaara has beaten the final ticket sale count of Akshay Kumar's Housefull 5 and Ajay Devgn's Raid 2, even before the first show begin.

With this sort of pre-sales, a 20 crore net opening is given, but the size of the release is not as big as some of the other movies with similar kinds of sales data. ## There is buzz in the industry that YRF is looking to increase the screens after seeing the excellent response in the pre-sales. According to Himesh Mankad of Pinkvilla, the film is aiming to release on 1750 screens nationwide, with the possibility to go higher as well. If this happens, then a 20 crore net opening is certain, which remains to be seen. ## Stay tuned...
