Reports confirm that Akshay Kumar is in advanced talks to collaborate with director Sajid Khan for a brand-new feature film. This development marks a significant moment as it brings back the hit machine duo responsible for massive commercial successes like Heyy Babyy, Housefull, and Housefull 2. The project is reportedly being designed as a complete family entertainer that will mark Sajid Khan's return to mainstream direction after a long hiatus. Adding massive weight to the project is the involvement of television and film mogul Ekta Kapoor. Sources reveal that Ekta Kapoor will be producing this untitled film, ensuring it is mounted on a grand scale. The collaboration between Akshay Kumar's star power, Sajid Khan's mass appeal, and Ekta Kapoor's production expertise is expected to result in a high-budget spectacle.

With Akshay Kumar"™s diary packed with back-to-back commitments, the makers have strategically planned the production timeline. The film is scheduled to go on floors in July 2026. This distant date allows the Khiladi of Bollywood to complete his current slate, Akshay is now gearing up for the release of the horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla in April 2026 and the highly anticipated Welcome To The Jungle, which is eyeing a mid-2026 release.

As the countdown begins for one of the biggest releases of the year, the excitement surrounding Aditya Dhar"™s espionage thriller Dhurandhar has hit a fever pitch. Starring Ranveer Singh in a never-seen-before avatar alongside a heavy-duty ensemble, the film is already making headlines for its runtime and "˜A"™ certification. But if verified reports are to be believed, the real surprise lies after the movie ends.According to exclusive insider information, Dhurandhar features a staggering 4-minute post-credits scene, a rarity in Indian cinema, which is set to officially launch the Dhurandhar Cinematic Universe. Sources close to the development have confirmed that the makers have attached a special 4-minute sequence at the end of the theatrical cut.This isn't just a blooper reel or a small tease; it is a full-fledged narrative segment designed to introduce the audience to the world of Dhurandhar 2. The post-credits scene is a film in itself, revealed a source. It bridges the gap between the first part and the sequel, which is reportedly scheduled for a Summer 2026 release.Aditya Dhar has designed this sequence to leave the audience with a massive cliffhanger, ensuring the buzz for the franchise continues long after the credits roll. From its very inception, Dhurandhar was envisioned not merely as a standalone film but as an ambitious two-part saga. Scheduled to hit cinemas on December 5, 2025, this high-octane spy action drama immerses the audience in a gritty world of geopolitical conflicts and covert RAW operations. However, the storytelling reportedly doesn't end when the screen fades to black. The much-talked-about post-credits scene is designed to be a game-changer, unveiling a menacing new villain or a major narrative twist that dramatically expands the scope from a single mission into a larger Cinematic Universe.This segment effectively acts as a direct and gripping teaser for Dhurandhar 2, confirming that the intensity is only just beginning and that the stakes are set to get significantly higher in the sequel. The substantial 4-minute addition plays a significant role in the film's colossal duration. Officially locked at a runtime of 3 hours, 34 minutes, and 1 second (214 minutes), Dhurandhar holds the distinction of being the longest Bollywood release in over 15 years, a record previously held by the historical epic Jodhaa Akbar. Adding to the intrigue is the film's certification; the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has awarded the movie an 'A' certificate, citing its gritty action sequences and intense violence. Notably, this marks a career-first for Ranveer Singh, who has ventured into the territory of adult-rated cinema for the first time with this intense espionage thriller. Powering this ambitious cinematic universe is a stellar ensemble cast that brings together some of the industry's most formidable talents. At the helm is director Aditya Dhar, marking his return to the high-stakes action genre following the historic success of Uri: The Surgical Strike. Leading the charge is the dynamic Ranveer Singh, who headlines this gritty espionage drama. He is supported by a heavyweight lineup including Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, and Arjun Rampal, alongside rising star Sara Arjun, ensuring that the film is packed with powerhouse performances to match its massive scale. Dhurandhar is set to release on December 5, 2025, enjoying a solo run before the Christmas clash heats up with Kartik Aaryan's Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri.By planting the seeds of a sequel immediately, the makers are clearly confident in the brand they are building.

In the world of cinema, some directors create scenes, while others orchestrate missions. Aditya Dhar belongs firmly to the latter category. As we stand on the brink of his massive December 5, 2025 release, Dhurandhar, it is fascinating to step into Aditya Dhar's War Room to understand how a filmmaker who started with a precision strike has now evolved to command an all-out cinematic war. From the patriotic roar of Uri: The Surgical Strike to the gritty, sprawling universe of Dhurandhar, here is how Dhar has redefined the Indian action genre. Back in 2019, Aditya Dhar entered the battlefield with Uri: The Surgical Strike, a film that was less of a movie and more of a national emotion. Starring a then-rising Vicky Kaushal, the film was a textbook example of tactical filmmaking. Produced on a budget of ₹42 Crore, it defied every trade prediction to emerge as an All Time Blockbuster. The film obliterated records, minting an India Net Collection of ₹244.14 Cr (India Gross: ₹293.75 Cr) and an Overseas Collection of ₹48.00 Cr, taking its Worldwide total to a staggering ₹341.75 Cr. Not only did it stand as the highest-grossing Hindi film of 2019, but it also cemented its legacy as the 10th highest-grossing Hindi film of all time. The famous dialogue How's the Josh? transitioned from a script line to a cultural greeting, proving that you don't need a massive budget to win the war"”just conviction, technical finesse, and a pulse on the nation's sentiment. Fast forward to 2025, and the strategy in Dhar's war room has shifted from efficiency to colossal scale. If Uri was a covert operation, Dhurandhar is a declaration of war. Marking his return to the director's chair after six years, Dhar has assembled what can only be described as the Avengers of Spy Dramas. The film stars Ranveer Singh in his first-ever intense espionage avatar, backed by industry heavyweights Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, and Arjun Rampal. The sheer assembly of this cast suggests that Dhar is no longer the tactical strategist; he is now the commander of a massive cinematic fleet. The most significant evolution in Dhar's filmmaking is visible in the creative risks he is taking with Dhurandhar. Unlike the U/A-rated patriotism of Uri, Dhurandhar dives deep into the dark, bloody world of international espionage. The film has been certified A (Adults Only) due to its intense violence and realistic action, a brave move for a commercial potboiler. Furthermore, Dhar has refused to compromise on his vision, locking the runtime at 3 hours, 34 minutes, and 1 second, making it the longest Bollywood film in over 15 years. This isn't just a movie; it's an immersive experience designed to test the endurance and excitement of the audience. Aditya Dhar's journey from 2019 to 2025 highlights a filmmaker who refuses to play it safe. With Uri, he proved he could make a profitable, critically acclaimed film on a tight budget. With Dhurandhar, he is testing the limits of star power and storytelling duration. As the film gears up for its release this Friday, one thing is certain: the War Room is active, the plans are drawn, and Aditya Dhar is ready to launch his biggest mission yet.

As the much-anticipated Dhanush starrer, directed by Aanand L. Rai with music by AR Rahman, hit screens today, the box office narrative is being defined by two contrasting stories. While the film has secured a healthy opening in the Hindi belt, industry observers are noting that the strategy for the South"”specifically Tamil Nadu"”may have left a significant golden window unexploited. The film closed its pre-sales with numbers that suggest a solid start, accumulating a total All-India gross of approximately ₹5.65 Crore through ticket sales alone. When factoring in block seats, the total pre-release business stands at an impressive ₹9.26 Crore. However, a closer look at the breakdown reveals a sharp divide in audience interest. The Hindi version is doing the heavy lifting, contributing roughly ₹5.30 Crore to the gross with over 2.1 lakh tickets sold across more than 12,500 shows. In stark contrast, the Tamil version has seen a much quieter response, grossing approximately ₹34.4 Lakhs with roughly 26,000 tickets sold across 1,000 shows. Despite featuring a powerhouse Tamil star like Dhanush and the musical backing of AR Rahman, trade analysts feel the film has underperformed in generating release-day buzz within Tamil Nadu. The current theatrical climate in the state offered a rare opportunity: there have been no major Tamil releases over the past few weeks, and the slate remains relatively empty for the coming fortnight. Had the makers executed a localized promotional plan, the film could have capitalized on this vacuum to secure a dominant theatrical run. Instead, reports from the ground indicate that awareness of the release remains surprisingly low, with many potential viewers unaware the film is now playing. With the pre-release hype muted in the South, the film"™s trajectory in Tamil Nadu now depends entirely on Word of Mouth (WOM) from today's early shows. Since the "opening day craze" was not capitalized on via marketing, the movie needs exceptional reports to gain momentum. If the content strikes a chord"”fueled by the lead performance and ARR"™s score"”the Tamil version could see a turnaround in occupancy by the evening shows and over the weekend. However, without that initial push, the film faces a challenging climb to convert the Tamil audience compared to its comfortable start in the North.

The Indian film industry is bracing for one of the most colossal box office showdowns in recent history. After a prolonged silence following the historic success of the KGF franchise, Rocking Star Yash is finally ready to unveil the world of his next massive project, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups. According to the latest trade reports and social media updates, the makers are set to release a teaser on New Year 2026, officially kicking off the promotional campaign for a theatrical release on March 19, 2026. The road to this announcement has been paved with intense speculation and industry rumors. For months, reports of production delays, budget inflations, and creative differences have plagued the film. There was significant chatter in trade circles suggesting that Yash had taken over creative control, with some rumors even pointing toward him ghost-directing the project to ensure it meets the sky-high expectations set by KGF Chapter 2. However, the announcement of a concrete teaser drop and release date serves as a strategic move by the production team to silence the noise and shift the focus back to the film's scale and vision. What makes this release date particularly explosive is the direct competition it faces. Toxic is now slated to clash head-on with Salman Khan's highly anticipated war drama, Battle of Galwan. Produced by Salman Khan Films and directed by Apoorva lakhia, who previously delivered the hit crime thriller Shootout at Lokhandwala, The March 19 date, which coincides with the festive window of Ugadi and Gudi Padwa, is a lucrative period that both production houses are eager to capitalize on. The stakes could not be higher for both superstars. For Yash, Toxic represents his first outing without director Prashanth Neel, and the industry is watching closely to see if he can replicate his Pan-India dominance with director Geetu Mohandas, known for her indie sensibilities. For Salman Khan, Battle of Galwan offers a chance to return to the grounded, high-emotion action genre that resonates deeply with domestic audiences. This clash draws parallels to previous industry battles, such as the face-off between Dunki and Salaar, proving that the trend of massive films colliding on festive dates is here to stay. As the New Year approaches, all eyes will be on the Toxic teaser. If the promotional material manages to capture the dark, stylish aesthetic promised by the title, the Battle of Galwan team will have a formidable adversary to contend with. With two distinct genres"”a stylized gangster drama versus a patriotic war film"”audiences will likely be the ultimate winners in this box office duel of 2026.

According to verified trade sources, the total cost of Dhurandhar, including marketing, stands at ₹220 Crores. The makers have smartly mitigated risk by recovering a significant chunk of this investment through non-theatrical revenues (Satellite, Digital, and Music rights), amounting to ₹110 Crores. This leaves the remaining recovery to the box office. Trade analysts estimate that the film needs to collect approximately ₹250 Crores gross worldwide to break even. While this is a steep target, it is certainly achievable for a film of this scale provided it maintains momentum over the weekend. The initial audience verdict is out, and it paints a picture of a film that delivers on spectacle but demands patience. On the positive side, the film manages to grab viewers right from the first frame, boasting high production values that justify its massive budget. Ranveer Singh is widely reported to be the soul of the movie, delivering an intense, grounded performance that effectively holds the narrative together. The action sequences are a standout, being hailed by many as world-class, with the interval block specifically described as a high point that leaves the audience on an exciting note. Furthermore, fans of Aditya Dhar's directorial style are appreciating the raw intensity and emotional depth he brings to the characters. However, the film faces some criticism regarding its duration. With a runtime of over 3.5 hours and the first half alone clocking in at nearly two hours, some viewers felt the screenplay suffered from pacing issues. Critics have pointed out that unwanted romantic portions and stretched scenes tend to dilute the tautness expected of a spy thriller. While the story has high points, the screenplay reportedly fluctuates, feeling flat in certain drama sequences which drags down the overall pace. Dhurandhar has started its journey on a firm footing with ₹9 Crore+ in advance bookings. However, with a break-even target of ₹250 Crores and a polarized reaction to its extensive runtime, the film's destiny now hangs on the Word of Mouth from the general public. If the mass audience embraces the action and emotion over the length, Ranveer Singh could well steer this massive ship to safety in the coming days.

Mumbai, December 5 - After the weeks-long speculations, Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar has been confirmed to be a two-part saga, with the second part coming on March 2026. The development was confirmed with post post-credit scene of the film, which got released today. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the spy action thriller is getting a solid reception from the audience despite being one of the longest Indian films ever made, with 3 hours and 34 minutes. It is said that the lead to part 2 is solid and enough suspenseful to excite the audience. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The news about Dhurandhar 2 has been making rounds in the media for the last couple of weeks. It was reported that director Dhar shot over 7 hours of footage, with each shot being important in the context of the story, and it led the makers to come up with 2 parts indeed to release the film in a single part.

The film follows India's Intelligence Bureau Chief Ajay Sanyal, who crafts a daring and indomitable mission to infiltrate and dismantle a powerful terrorist network operating out of Pakistan. To execute this high-risk operation, Sanyal recruits an unlikely asset, a 20-year-old boy from Punjab, held captive for committing a revenge-driven crime.

It was a moment of immense pride and nostalgia for Indian cinema in the heart of London today. To commemorate the 30th anniversary of the historic blockbuster Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ), superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol reunited to unveil a magnificent bronze statue of their iconic characters, Raj and Simran, at London"™s bustling Leicester Square. Braving the characteristic London rain, the duo graced the event, bringing the magic of 1995 back to life for the thousands of fans gathered at the venue. This unveiling marks a significant milestone, as Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge has become the first ever Indian film to be honored with a statue in Leicester Square. The bronze installation joins the illustrious Scenes in the Square trail, placing Raj and Simran alongside Hollywood legends and cultural icons like Harry Potter, Batman, and Mary Poppins. The statue captures the timeless chemistry of the lead pair, immortalizing the romance that redefined Bollywood for generations. For those new to the phenomenon, the statue isn't just celebrating a movie; it is honoring a financial miracle that redefined the economics of Indian cinema. Released on October 20, 1995, the Aditya Chopra directorial was produced on a modest budget of just ₹4 Crore. Yet, it went on to wreak havoc at the ticket windows, delivering an India Net Collection of ₹53.32 Crore. Even more impressive was its global appeal; DDLJ was one of the first films to crack the international market wide open, earning ₹13.50 Crore overseas at a time when Bollywood's global footprint was minimal. In an era where the 100 Crore Club is a standard benchmark, DDLJ achieved the unthinkable three decades ago. With an India Gross of ₹89.00 Crore, the film's Worldwide Gross Collection stood at a staggering ₹102.50 Crore"”a figure that was astronomical for 1995. With a Return on Investment (ROI) that remains enviable today, trade analysts officially declared it an ALL TIME BLOCKBUSTER, a verdict that stands unchallenged. Visibly moved by the honor, Shah Rukh Khan, looking dapper in a black ensemble, and Kajol, stunning in an elegant pastel saree, posed alongside their bronze counterparts. The event celebrates three decades of Aditya Chopra"™s directorial debut, which not only shattered box office records upon its release in 1995 but continues to hold the record for the longest-running film in Indian cinema history. For the Indian diaspora in the UK, DDLJ has always held a special sentiment, given that a significant portion of the movie was set in London, making this tribute even more poetic. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Beyond the cold hard numbers, the film's cultural impact is immeasurable. While the bronze statue now stands permanently in London, the film itself continues to breathe in Mumbai. DDLJ holds the world record for the longest-running film in cinema history, having played continuously at the Maratha Mandir theatre for over 30 years. As Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol posed with their bronze likenesses today, they didn't just celebrate a film; they celebrated a legacy that turned a ₹4 Crore investment into a timeless emotional asset for millions.

The excitement for Aditya Dhar's espionage thriller Dhurandhar has been at an all-time high. With a massive star cast led by Ranveer Singh and a gripping storyline based on Indian intelligence operations, fans and critics alike have been counting down the hours. However, just before the film hits the big screens, reports coming in from the capital have left many disappointed. According to the latest buzz, the highly anticipated press show of Dhurandhar in Delhi had to be cancelled at the very last minute, leaving critics and the media waiting. As per a verified update shared by trade analyst Joginder Tuteja, the stage was set for the press screening in Delhi, with critics and media personnel already present at the venue. Unfortunately, a sudden technical glitch halted the proceedings before the movie could even begin. While technical issues are not uncommon, the situation was complicated by the film's massive scale. Dhurandhar has a verified runtime of approximately 3 hours and 34 minutes. Because of this extensive duration, it was impossible for the organizers to fix the glitch and restart the show within a reasonable timeframe. As Tuteja noted, There was a limit to the time when the show could have begun, forcing the makers to regrettably call off the screening. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The cancellation comes as a blow to the makers, including director Aditya Dhar and producers Jio Studios, who were eagerly awaiting early feedback for their biggest project to date. Tuteja described the incident as unfortunate and disheartening, urging people to empathize with the team rather than resorting to unwarranted trolling. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Despite the pre-release hiccup at the press screening, the hype for the movie remains untouched as it hits theatres today, December 5, 2025. The film boasts a dream cast that has cinephiles buzzing, featuring a powerhouse ensemble led by Ranveer Singh, who plays an intense undercover agent. He is supported by industry heavyweights Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal, making for one of the most star-studded lineups of the year. Helmed by Aditya Dhar, the director celebrated for Uri: The Surgical Strike, Dhurandhar is billed as a high-octane spy thriller inspired by real-life covert operations of Indian intelligence. The narrative reportedly centers on a daring, high-stakes mission executed by RAW agents to dismantle a crime syndicate operating out of Pakistan, promising edge-of-the-seat suspense. The scale of the project is equally ambitious, setting it apart from standard releases. With an 'A' certificate and a confirmed runtime spanning over 3.5 hours, Dhurandhar stands as one of the longest and most expensive Indian films in recent memory. This extensive duration suggests an uncompromising vision, offering audiences an uncut, gritty cinematic experience that refuses to rush its storytelling. As the old saying goes, The show must go on. While the press show faced a hurdle, the film has officially arrived in cinemas this morning. Audiences across the country can now witness Ranveer Singh's intense avatar on the big screen, technical glitches notwithstanding!

Mumbai, December 4 - Actress Yami Gautam has taken a bold stand by calling out what she describes as a dangerous and growing trend of paid PR manipulation within the film industry. In a strongly worded statement, she revealed that certain groups demand money under the garb of "marketing," promising hype in return, and threatening continuous negativity if not paid. Calling it nothing short of extortion, Yami said this practice has become a plague that could seriously damage the future of Indian cinema. The actress warned that this new "normal" is far from harmless and could eventually "bite everyone." She highlighted how fabricated hype and planted negative press have distorted perceptions of success over the past few years, hinting that many uncomfortable truths remain buried. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Yami contrasted this with the South Indian film industries, where, she said, such unethical practices are not tolerated because the industry stands united on many fronts. Expressing her concern as both an industry member and the wife of director Aditya Dhar, Yami defended Dhurandhar, stressing that Dhar and his team have poured honesty, vision, and relentless hard work into the film. She emphasised that no film should be forced into toxic PR games and that the audience should be allowed to decide the film's fate without manipulation. Her appeal reflects not just personal frustration but a broader plea for integrity within the industry. Yami urged producers, directors, and actors across Bollywood to unite and stop this "termite of a culture" before it grows further. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Yami's statement has sparked a wave of conversations online, with many applauding her courage. Hrithik Roshan, while commenting under the actress's post on X, amplified her concerns by highlighting how this trend harms not just filmmakers but journalism itself. He wrote that the biggest loss is the "journalist's true voice," which gets drowned out by paid agendas. He stressed that genuine opinions are essential for filmmakers to grow, adding that without freedom of expression and honest feedback, "what job satisfaction can they or any of us hope for?" There is something iv been wanting to express since really long, I feel today is that day & I must . This so called trend of giving money, in the disguise of marketing a film, to ensure good "˜hype"™ for a film is created or else "˜they"™ will continuously write negative things"¦— Yami Gautam Dhar (@yamigautam) December 4, 2025 Stay tuned...

Mumbai, December 3 - Director Anand L Rai's Tere Ishk Mein has turned into a big winner at the box office. Starring Dhanush and Kriti Sanon, the romantic drama has lived up to its pre-release buzz and topped 100 crores gross collection worldwide within its first week.

With Aditya Dhar preparing to take us on another covert mission in his upcoming film Dhurandhar, curiosity is naturally building around what the filmmaker has in store for us next. We all appreciate a solid espionage drama where the stakes are high and the patriots are fearless. But while we wait for that cinematic experience to hit the screens, it is the perfect time to revisit the best spy thrillers Bollywood has offered us so far. We have dug into the archives to bring you the ultimate watchlist, decoding the box office numbers of India"™s most notable covert operations"”from the gritty realism of Raazi to the high-octane action of War. We start our list with the film that proved you don't need heavy artillery to make a Blockbuster; sometimes, you just need a brilliant script and Alia Bhatt. Released on May 11, 2018, Raazi was a massive return on investment. Made on a controlled Budget of ₹ 37.00 Cr, the film worked purely on emotion and thrill, earning a Verdict of BLOCKBUSTER. It went on to collect an impressive India Net Collection of ₹ 123.74 Cr and a Worldwide Gross Collection of ₹ 195.00 Cr. With an Overseas Collection of ₹ 37.00 Cr, this film showed that a female-led spy drama could rule the box office. Next on the watchlist is the Neeraj Pandey directorial that redefined the cool factor of Indian intelligence. Released on January 23, 2015, Baby was a no-nonsense, song-less thriller that kept us on the edge of our seats. The film secured a HIT Verdict, raking in a Total Net Collection of ₹ 95.57 Cr domestically. Against a Budget of ₹ 59 Cr, the film managed an India Gross Collection of ₹ 129.02 Cr and a Worldwide Gross of ₹ 142.98 Cr. It remains a cult favorite for its realistic take on counter-terrorism. Turning up the heat, we have Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif's Christmas gift from 2017 -Tiger Zinda Hai. This wasn't just a movie; it was a box office hunt. With a massive Budget of ₹ 210 Cr, the film roared loud with an India Net Collection of ₹ 339.16 Cr and a staggering Worldwide Collection of ₹ 558.00 Cr. The film was declared a BLOCKBUSTER, largely thanks to its massive mass appeal and a huge Overseas Collection of ₹ 124.23 Cr. When Tiger is on the prowl, records are meant to be broken. Then came the King. Shah Rukh Khan returned to the big screen and rewrote history with Pathaan. This film is the biggest money-spinner on our list, earning the verdict of ALL TIME BLOCKBUSTER. With a lavish Budget of ₹ 250 Cr, the film decimated records with an India Net Collection of ₹ 543.09 Cr and an India Gross Collection of ₹ 657.5 Cr. The scale was truly global, evident from its Overseas Collection of ₹ 397.5 Cr, pushing the Worldwide Collection to a colossal ₹ 1055 Cr. It was the comeback of the decade. Taking a detour from the massy entertainers, we land on the gritty and intelligent Madras Cafe. Starring John Abraham, this film was ahead of its time. Made on a distinct Budget of ₹ 34.00 Cr, it earned a Total Net Collection of ₹ 42.47 Cr and an India Gross of ₹ 57.33 Cr. While the trade gave it an AVERAGE Verdict due to its niche appeal, the Worldwide Gross of ₹ 66.71 Cr and its critical acclaim make it a must-watch for true cinema lovers who enjoy geopolitical drama over flying cars. Before Pathaan, there was War. This stylish face-off between Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff set the benchmark for action aesthetics in Bollywood. The film was a visual spectacle with a Budget of ₹ 150.00 Cr, and the audience loved it, crowning it a BLOCKBUSTER. It collected a massive India Net Collection of ₹ 318.01 Cr and an India Gross Collection of ₹ 375.00 Cr. The film also performed exceptionally well internationally, with an Overseas Collection of ₹ 96.00 Cr, bringing its Worldwide Collection to ₹ 471.00 Cr. To complete our Top 7, we have to tip our hat to the one that started the spy universe craze. While we focused on the sequels and spin-offs above, the original Ek Tha Tiger deserves the final spot. It laid the foundation for the Blockbusters that followed (Tiger Zinda Hai, War, Pathaan). It established the formula of romance mixed with high-stakes espionage, making it the perfect movie to binge-watch to see where it all began! So, there you have it! From the gritty realism of Madras Cafe to the high-flying stunts of Pathaan, Bollywood has given us a spy thriller for every mood. With such a strong legacy behind the genre, Aditya Dhar certainly has a high bar to match with Dhurandhar. .video-container { position: relative; width: 100%; padding-bottom: 56.25%; /* 16:9 aspect ratio */ height: 0; overflow: hidden; } .video-container iframe { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }

As the countdown begins for Christmas 2025, the industry is placing its bets on Kartik Aaryan's upcoming romantic comedy, Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri (TMMTMTTM). The film promises to be a festive treat, marking a significant reunion for Kartik with director Sameer Vidwans (following Satyaprem Ki Katha) and co-star Ananya Panday, bringing back the chemistry that sparked interest in Pati Patni Aur Woh. To understand the magnitude of this release, we must look at Kartik's track record. Here are the Top 5 biggest hits of his career , cementing his status as a bankable superstar. The crown jewel of his career is undoubtedly the recent blockbuster Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 (2024). Released during the competitive Diwali window, this horror-comedy saw Kartik return as Rooh Baba to face off against Vidya Balan and Madhuri Dixit, with Triptii Dimri as the romantic lead. Directed by the comedy veteran Anees Bazmee, the film shattered records with an India Net Collection of ₹260.11 Cr and a Worldwide gross of over ₹400 Cr. With a budget of approximately ₹150"“195 Cr, it earned a Super Hit verdict, proving that Kartik can anchor a massive franchise tentpole. Holding the second spot is the film that arguably saved the Hindi box office post-pandemic: Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (2022). Stepping into a franchise previously led by Akshay Kumar was a daunting task, but Kartik made it his own. Directed by Anees Bazmee and produced by T-Series, the film starred Kiara Advani and Tabu in pivotal roles. Made on a budget of roughly ₹ 80 Cr, it defied all odds to collect ₹ 184.32 Cr (India Net) and ₹ 265.5 Cr (Worldwide). The film was declared a Blockbuster, establishing the Kartik-Anees Bazmee actor-director combo as a goldmine for the industry. The movie that officially catapulted Kartik into the A-league is Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (2018). This film marked the peak of his collaboration with mentor and director Luv Ranjan, who had given him his break in Pyaar Ka Punchnama. Co-starring Nushrratt Bharuccha and Sunny Singh, this bromance vs. romance comedy connected instantly with the youth. Made on a modest budget of approx. ₹30 Cr, it surprised everyone by entering the 100-Crore club, minting ₹ 108.95 Cr(India Net) and ₹ 156.46 Cr (Worldwide). It was a massive Blockbuster that proved Kartik could carry a commercial film purely on his comic timing and monologue fame. Ranked fourth is the small-town rom-com Luka Chuppi (2019), which showcased Kartik's ability to shine in family entertainers. Directed by Laxman Utekar, the film paired him with Kriti Sanon and featured stellar support from Pankaj Tripathi. The film dealt with the subject of live-in relationships in a conservative setting. It was a highly profitable venture; made on a budget of just ₹25 Cr, it collected ₹94.75 Cr (India Net) and ₹128 Cr (Worldwide). The verdict was Super Hit, solidifying his appeal in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities. Rounding out his top 5 hits is Pati Patni Aur Woh (2019), a film particularly relevant today as it featured his TMMTMTTM co-star, Ananya Panday. Directed by Mudassar Aziz, this modern remake of the classic comedy also starred Bhumi Pednekar. The movie was praised for its humor and the chemistry between the leads. Produced on a budget of approx. ₹40 Cr, it collected ₹ 84.56 Cr (India Net) and ₹ 109 Cr (Worldwide), earning a Hit verdict. The successful pairing of Kartik and Ananya in this film is a major reason why trade analysts are bullish on their reunion in Tu Meri Main Tera.... Kartik Aaryan's box office history shows a clear pattern: he excels in comedies and romantic entertainers that appeal to families and youth alike. With TMMTMTTM bringing him back to the romantic-comedy genre with a tested director (Sameer Vidwans) and a familiar co-star (Ananya Panday), the stage is set for potentially his next big entry into this elite list.

As the countdown begins for the Christmas release of Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri on December 25, 2025, excitement is at an all-time high. For Kartik Aaryan, this film is not just another addition to his filmography; it represents a full-circle moment in a career defined by the romance genre. However, a closer look at his past hits reveals that his character Ray in this upcoming Dharma Productions entertainer might be the most drastic shift he has taken since his debut. To understand the pressure on this new release, we need to look at the numbers that defined his journey. Kartik Aaryan exploded onto the scene with Pyaar Ka Punchnama (2011) and solidified his stardom with the blockbuster Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (2018). In these films, he was the poster boy for the frustrated Indian male. His characters were defined by their resistance to romance, breathless monologues, and prioritizing bromance over love. While his debut gave him fame, it was Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety that changed the game financially, proving that the Anti-Love formula was a massive money-spinner. Movie: Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety Release Date: Feb 23, 2018 Budget: ₹ 40.00 Cr India Net Collection: ₹ 108.95 Cr Worldwide Gross Collection: ₹ 156.46 Cr Verdict: BLOCKBUSTER Tu Meri Main Tera... appears to be the complete antithesis of this ;changing from the guy who complains about relationships to the romantic hero who sings for love. Following his bromance phase, Kartik successfully pivoted to the massy, small-town hero. These films proved he could carry a family entertainer without the crutch of a hate-love story. During this phase, he became a highly profitable star for producers, delivering high returns on investment (ROI) with hits like Luka Chuppi and Pati Patni Aur Woh. Movie: Luka Chuppi Release Date: Mar 1, 2019 Budget: ₹ 20.00 Cr India Net Collection: ₹ 94.09 Cr Worldwide Gross Collection: ₹ 128.00 Cr Verdict: SUPER HIT The upcoming Christmas release serves as a direct reunion with his Pati Patni Aur Woh co-star, Ananya Panday. However, the dynamic has shifted. In 2019, their chemistry was built on the illicit thrill of an extra-marital affair plot. In 2025, with characters named Ray and Rumi, the duo is presenting a Green Flag romance where Ananya's character explicitly demands an old-school 90s love story, forcing Kartik to evolve from a Mama's Boy into a true romantic hero. While Kartik has mastered comedy, his attempts at deep, intense romance have been his biggest risks. Both Akaash Vani and Love Aaj Kal showcased his ability to handle heartbreak and complex emotions, yet the box office numbers show that audiences struggled to accept him in serious roles compared to his lighter films. Movie: Love Aaj Kal Release Date: 31 July 2009 Budget: ₹ 50.00 Cr India Net Collection: ₹ 34.99 Cr Worldwide Gross Collection: ₹ 52.00 Cr Verdict: FLOP Tu Meri Main Tera... seems to tread a fine line. With the gloss of a Karan Johar production and direction by Sameer Vidwans, the film aims to balance the emotional depth of Akaash Vani with the commercial viability of Luka Chuppi. If successful, it could finally redeem his serious lover avatar that audiences were hesitant to embrace in 2020. When Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri hits theaters this Christmas, it faces the weight of expectation. It isn't just about beating the competition; it is about surpassing his own benchmarks. To be considered a true success, the film likely needs to chase the ₹ 156 Crore worldwide record set by Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety. With this role, Aaryan appears to be pivoting away from his signature angst to deliver a more mature and grounded portrayal of a romantic lead
