Hanuman Ansh continues its remarkable theatrical run even after spending more than six weeks in cinemas. The film collected Rs. 3.43 crore on Wednesday, Day 48, taking its India total to approximately Rs. 279.33 crore.

The latest numbers come after the film had earned Rs. 4.64 crore on its seventh Tuesday. Wednesday therefore saw a 26.08% decline from the previous day. Despite the correction, the film remains on an unusually strong footing this deep into its theatrical run.

Bollywood Hungama had earlier reported that Hanuman Ansh collected Rs. 3.84 crore on its seventh Monday before witnessing a 20.83% jump to Rs. 4.64 crore on Tuesday. The film had also recorded an impressive seventh weekend, with Friday bringing in Rs. 4.66 crore, followed by Rs. 8.66 crore on Saturday and Rs. 12.03 crore on Sunday.

The film's sustained performance has been one of the major box-office stories of the year. We had previously reported that Hanuman Ansh became the No. 1 film at the India box office across all languages on September 1, despite being on Day 26 of its theatrical run.

With the latest Wednesday collection taking the film to roughly Rs. 279.33 crore, Hanuman Ansh is now only around Rs. 20.67 crore away from the Rs. 300 crore milestone. After 48 days in theatres, the film continues to add meaningful numbers to its tally.

Resident Evil continued its theatrical run with a noticeable recovery on Tuesday, with the horror film collecting Rs. 1.64 crore on Day 5. The latest business represents a 15.49% increase over its Rs. 1.42 crore collection on Monday and takes the film’s total India collection to Rs. 11.84 crore.

The film had opened its theatrical run on Friday with Rs. 2.18 crore. It then witnessed a strong 44.04% jump on Saturday, collecting Rs. 3.14 crore. Sunday saw a marginal 2.23% decline, with the film adding Rs. 3.07 crore. This took its opening weekend total to Rs. 8.78 crore.

The transition to the weekdays brought the expected slowdown. Monday saw the film’s collections fall by 53.75% to Rs. 1.42 crore. However, Tuesday brought a welcome reversal in the trend as business climbed back to Rs. 1.64 crore. The film also recorded 3,649 shows across 1,677 venues on Tuesday, with overall occupancy standing at 14.85%, according to Bollywood Hungama's box office data.

The Tuesday performance is significant because the film managed to improve its business despite being in the middle of its opening week. After the sharp Monday correction, a further decline could have put greater pressure on the film's weekday run. Instead, the increase has allowed Resident Evil to inch closer to the Rs. 12 crore mark.

With Rs. 11.84 crore already accumulated, the film is now just Rs. 0.16 crore away from crossing Rs. 12 crore. The focus will now shift to how steadily it can hold its collections through the remainder of the week and whether the Tuesday recovery can translate into sustained business.

Daayra continued its theatrical run with Rs. 0.45 crore on Tuesday, taking its total India collection to Rs. 4.69 crore. The Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran starrer saw a relatively small 4.26% decline from Monday's Rs. 0.47 crore, indicating that the film managed to maintain a similar level of business on its second weekday.

The film began its theatrical journey with Rs. 0.94 crore on Friday. Business then improved substantially on Saturday, when collections jumped 50% to Rs. 1.41 crore. Sunday remained largely stable, with the film collecting Rs. 1.39 crore, a marginal 1.42% decline from Saturday. The opening weekend consequently stood at Rs. 3.74 crore.

The transition to the weekdays, however, resulted in a sharp correction. Daayra collected Rs. 0.47 crore on Monday, marking a 66.19% decline from Sunday. The Monday figure also fell below the Rs. 50 lakh mark, bringing the four-day total to Rs. 4.24 crore.

Tuesday's Rs. 0.45 crore collection was only Rs. 0.02 crore lower than Monday. While the business remained modest, the limited day-on-day movement is a more stable trend than the steep fall witnessed at the start of the weekdays. The film has now added Rs. 0.92 crore across Monday and Tuesday.

With five days completed, Daayra has reached Rs. 4.69 crore and is now just Rs. 0.31 crore away from crossing the Rs. 5 crore mark. The film will need to maintain its weekday business and ideally see some momentum over the coming weekend if it is to build substantially on its current total.

For now, Tuesday has kept the film's collections relatively steady after the significant Monday correction, with the remainder of the first week set to determine the pace of its theatrical run.

Hanuman Ansh continues to display remarkable staying power at the box office, with the film adding another Rs. 4.64 crore on its seventh Tuesday. The latest collection takes its total domestic business to Rs. 275.90 crore, keeping the film firmly on course towards the Rs. 300 crore milestone.

The Tuesday performance comes a day after the film collected Rs. 3.84 crore on its seventh Monday. The latest figure therefore marks a 20.83% increase over Monday, giving the film a welcome boost in its seventh week. The strong hold is particularly notable considering that Hanuman Ansh has now completed 47 days in theatres.

The film's recent run has been anything but ordinary. After collecting Rs. 4.66 crore on its seventh Friday, business jumped 85.84% to Rs. 8.66 crore on Saturday and rose another 38.91% to Rs. 12.03 crore on Sunday. Monday naturally saw a 68.08% correction to Rs. 3.84 crore, but Tuesday's recovery has once again underlined the film's sustained audience interest.

With Rs. 275.90 crore already accumulated, Hanuman Ansh is now just Rs. 24.10 crore away from the Rs. 300 crore mark. Its continued ability to post substantial numbers in the seventh week has made its extended theatrical run a key talking point at the box office.

The coming days will determine how quickly the film can close the remaining gap, but for now, Hanuman Ansh continues to add to its impressive theatrical haul well into its second month.

Daayra had a reasonably steady opening weekend at the box office, but the film witnessed a sharp slowdown on its first Monday. The Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran starrer collected Rs. 0.47 crore on Day 4, taking its total domestic collection to Rs. 4.24 crore.

The film opened its theatrical run with Rs. 0.94 crore on Friday. Business then picked up significantly on Saturday, with collections rising 50% to Rs. 1.41 crore. Daayra maintained that momentum on Sunday, collecting Rs. 1.39 crore. While this represented a marginal 1.42% decline from Saturday, the film managed to close its opening weekend with Rs. 3.74 crore.

However, the transition to the weekdays brought a much steeper fall. On Monday, Daayra collected Rs. 0.47 crore, registering a 66.19% drop compared to Sunday. The Day 4 figure is also nearly half of the film's opening-day business, indicating a significant reduction in audience turnout after the weekend.

With Rs. 4.24 crore in four days, Daayra now faces the challenge of sustaining its collections through the remainder of its first week. The film's Saturday growth had provided some momentum, but the sharp Monday correction means that the weekday trend will be crucial in determining its overall theatrical run.

For now, the film has managed to cross the Rs. 4 crore mark, but with the first Monday falling below Rs. 50 lakh, Daayra will need stronger holds in the coming days to build meaningful momentum at the box office.

The box office momentum of Vibe took a sharp hit on its first Monday, with the film witnessing a drop of over 60% in collections. After showing healthy growth over its opening weekend, the film’s business fell below the Rs. 1 crore mark on Day 4.

Vibe opened its theatrical run with Rs. 1.65 crore on Friday. The film then registered a strong 46.06% jump on Saturday, collecting Rs. 2.41 crore. The upward trend continued on Sunday, albeit marginally, as the film added Rs. 2.52 crore, reflecting a 4.56% increase over Saturday. The three-day weekend total stood at Rs. 6.58 crore.

However, the arrival of Monday brought a considerable slowdown. Vibe collected Rs. 0.90 crore on its first Monday, marking a steep 64.29% decline compared to Sunday. The Monday business was also 45.45% lower than the film’s opening-day collection, underlining the significant weekday drop.

With Rs. 0.90 crore coming in on Day 4, Vibe has now taken its total domestic collection to Rs. 7.55 crore. The film added Rs. 0.97 crore to its weekend total on Monday, but the sharp fall after the opening weekend will make the business during the remaining weekdays crucial.

The film’s trajectory so far has been marked by strong growth through the weekend followed by a pronounced Monday correction. With the first four days now in the books, Vibe will need to maintain stability over the next few days to build on its Rs. 7.55 crore total and extend its theatrical run.

Excel Entertainment’s Mirzapur The Movie has achieved a major milestone at the Indian box office. The film has crossed the Rs. 200 crore mark in India, emerging as the fourth release of 2026 to achieve the feat. Starring Ali Fazal, Pankaj Tripathi and Divyendu, the film has managed to reach the coveted milestone in 17 days of its release, making it the third-fastest film to enter the Rs. 200 crore club in 2026.

The achievement further underlines the strong theatrical pull of the Mirzapur franchise, which has successfully translated its popularity from the streaming space to the big screen. The film’s journey to Rs. 200 crore has also resulted in a significant milestone for its leading cast. Ali Fazal, Pankaj Tripathi and Divyendu make their debut in the Rs. 200 crore club for actors with Mirzapur The Movie. For the trio, the achievement adds another notable chapter to their careers, particularly given the ensemble-driven nature of the franchise and the strong recall value of their respective characters.

Mirzapur The Movie has maintained a steady run through its theatrical journey, with audiences turning up for the continuation of the much-loved world of Kaleen Bhaiya, Guddu Pandit and Munna Tripathi. The film’s Rs. 200 crore milestone also puts it among the year’s biggest theatrical performers, adding to what has been a strong 2026 box office.

With the film now firmly past the Rs. 200 crore mark, all eyes will be on its final theatrical tally and whether it can further strengthen its position among the year’s top-performing releases.

Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran starrer Daayra has recorded a modest opening weekend at the Indian box office. The film collected Rs. 3.77 crore over its first three days, with business showing an upward movement through the weekend.

The film opened at Rs. 0.94 crore on Friday, before witnessing a noticeable jump on Saturday. Daayra collected Rs. 1.41 crore on Day 2, taking its two-day total to Rs. 2.35 crore. On Sunday, the film maintained its momentum and added another Rs. 1.39 crore, bringing its opening weekend total to Rs. 3.77 crore.

The weekend trend suggests that the film benefited from increased audience turnout over the second and third days, although the overall numbers remained on the lower side. With the first weekend now behind it, the film’s performance on the weekdays will be crucial in determining how it fares during its theatrical run.

Directed by Meghna Gulzar, Daayra brings together Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran in a gritty crime drama, with the film generating interest for its subject and lead cast. The coming days will reveal whether it can sustain the momentum generated over the weekend and add substantially to its box office tally.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day has achieved a historic milestone at the Indian box office. The Hollywood biggie has crossed the coveted Rs. 500 crore mark in India during its sixth weekend, becoming the first-ever Hollywood film to breach the milestone in the country.

The film, which opened to a record-breaking response, has maintained remarkable momentum through its theatrical run. Despite entering its sixth weekend, Spider-Man: Brand New Day continued to attract audiences, collecting Rs. 43 lakh on Friday, Rs. 72 lakh on Saturday and Rs. 83 lakh on Sunday. With this, the film's Weekend 6 total stands at Rs. 1.98 crore, taking its overall India nett collection to Rs. 500.21 crore.

The film's journey to the Rs. 500 crore milestone has been particularly noteworthy. Released on Thursday, its extended first week of eight days brought in a massive Rs. 336 crore. It followed that up with Rs. 111.78 crore in Week 2, while Week 3 contributed another Rs. 31.70 crore. The film continued to hold remarkably well in the subsequent weeks, adding Rs. 12.46 crore in Week 4 and Rs. 6.29 crore in Week 5.

What makes the achievement even more significant is the film's ability to sustain its theatrical run well beyond the initial frenzy surrounding its release. The steady collections across six weekends underline the franchise's strong pull among Indian audiences.

With Rs. 500.21 crore in India nett collections across all versions, Spider-Man: Brand New Day has now firmly established itself as an all-time blockbuster in the Indian market and has set a new benchmark for Hollywood releases.

The Akshay Kumar-Saif Ali Khan starrer Haiwaan was released with a lot of expectations due to its casting, thriller genre, four-day weekend in Maharashtra and Priyadarshan’s association as director. However, the opening was underwhelming and the film never managed to pick up over the weekend, possibly due to poor word of mouth. Competition from Mirzapur The Movie and Hanuman Ansh may have also played a part.

Haiwaan collected Rs. 2.79 crores on Day 1, which was below the expected Rs. 3-4 crore range. On Saturday, the earnings dropped to Rs. 2.13 crores, which was a telling sign. The thriller fell further on Sunday, collecting a mere Rs. 1.58 crores.

After such a performance over the weekend, it was evident that Haiwaan would fall below the Rs. 1 crore mark on the weekdays. And that’s exactly what happened. Haiwaan earned Rs. 64 lakhs on Monday, Rs. 59 lakhs on Tuesday, Rs. 47 lakhs on Wednesday and Rs. 48 lakhs on Thursday.

As a result, its first-week collections stand at Rs. 8.68 crores. There was some hope that it would find an audience in its second week, allowing its lifetime collections to at least cross the Rs. 10 crore mark. Sadly, that now seems highly unlikely. On its second Friday, September 18, Haiwaan collected a shocking Rs. 66,838, sending shockwaves across the trade and industry. In other words, the film crashed by a massive 98.62% on its second Friday compared to its first Thursday.

On Friday, September 11, we were among the first to report that advance booking for Avengers Endgame: Encore had commenced in India. In no time, its tickets started selling like hot cakes. While the film was expected to have a decent opening, the advance trends now make it clear that it is all set for a huge first day.

As per data accessed by Bollywood Hungama, as of 12 noon on September 15, Avengers Endgame: Encore has sold around 45,000 tickets. More than a week is still left for its release, with the superhero saga arriving in cinemas on September 25. Going by the present momentum, ticket sales are expected to breach the 1 lakh mark soon.

What’s interesting to note is that Avengers Endgame: Encore is a re-release and yet, it is behaving like a new release. The trade and industry are now excited to see whether it can break all re-release records and emerge as the biggest re-release opener ever in India.

The re-release day 1 record is held by Baahubali: The Epic, the remastered, combined edition of both Baahubali films. It collected around Rs. 9 crores in India. This is followed by Pawan Kalyan-starrer Gabbar Singh, which collected around Rs. 5 crores. Thalapathy Vijay’s Ghilli, Mahesh Babu’s Murari and Sanam Teri Kasam collected around Rs. 4 crores each. Avengers Endgame: Encore should comfortably cross the day 1 earnings during the re-release of Ghilli, Murari and Sanam Teri Kasam, as well as Gabbar Singh. All eyes are on whether it can cross Baahubali: The Epic, or even cross the Rs. 10 crore mark.

One reason for the immense demand for Avengers Endgame: Encore is the recent blockbuster success of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which has once again boosted interest in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Moreover, Avengers Endgame: Encore will include new material along with an exclusive look at the next Marvel film, Avengers: Doomsday. Earlier this year, Disney launched Infinity Vision, a new certification for Premium Large Format (PLF) cinemas. The certification is given to auditoriums that meet certain standards related to screen size, projection quality, brightness and sound. Avengers Endgame: Encore will be one of the first films to play on Infinity Vision-certified screens, ahead of Avengers: Doomsday in December.

While the regular screens will include new footage and a unique opening, they will not feature the new post-credits scene directly linked to Avengers: Doomsday. That scene will be exclusive to IMAX and Infinity Vision-certified screens.

It's curtains down for the Saif Ali Khan and Akshay Kumar led Haiwaan, as the film has taken a disastrous opening at the box office in India. According to early estimates, the Priyadarshan directorial has collected in the range of Rs. 2.75 crore to Rs. 3.25 crore, which is much below the most pessimistic expectations and projections.

The film is almost a no show all across the board, and whatever has come in due to the face value of Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan. The trailers had the writing on the wall, but none expected such a start as it marks the reunion of Akshay with Priyadarshan after the success of Bhooth Bangla.

The national chains are looking to collect around Rs. 1.90 crore on the first day, and this is a dismal result. The start is on the lines of Selfiee and Sarfira, which is not a great list to be a part of. Surprisingly, this ranks among the lowest openers of the year, and that's despite a hefty budget and strong face value.

Haiwaan could see some growth on Saturday and Sunday, but it's curtains down with this opening.

Mirzapur: The Movie has achieved another major milestone at the worldwide box office. The Excel Entertainment production has crossed the coveted Rs. 200 crore mark globally, with its worldwide gross collection standing at Rs. 210.05 crore, as per the latest figures.

The film, which brings the hugely popular Mirzapur franchise from the streaming space to the big screen, has managed to translate its established fan base into strong theatrical footfalls. The worldwide total comprises Rs. 173.67 crore gross from India and Rs. 36.38 crore from the overseas markets.

In India, Mirzapur: The Movie has accumulated Rs. 145.88 crore in net collections, putting the film firmly among the notable theatrical performers of 2026. The difference between the domestic net and gross also takes its India gross to Rs. 173.67 crore, with the overseas contribution further taking the worldwide tally past the Rs. 200 crore milestone.

The achievement is particularly significant considering that Mirzapur originated as a streaming series and built its popularity over multiple seasons. Taking characters and a world already familiar to audiences and giving them a theatrical continuation was always a sizeable gamble, but the box office response indicates that the franchise has retained considerable pull beyond the OTT platform.

Headlined by Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal and Divyenndu, the film continues the franchise’s familiar power struggles and larger-than-life confrontations while expanding the story onto the big screen. The theatrical performance also underlines the growing appetite for established streaming properties to make the transition into cinema.

With Rs. 210.05 crore worldwide, Mirzapur: The Movie has now entered the Rs. 200 crore club, adding another strong commercial success to Excel Entertainment’s filmography. With its theatrical run still progressing, the film will now look to build further on this momentum and push its worldwide tally higher.

On September 4, the English version of Yash-starrer Toxic was released in India. Bollywood Hungama was the first one to report that the film collected just Rs. 1.40 lakhs approximately. Just 450 tickets were sold across the country. The news went viral in no time. We now bring you a report on how the English version of Toxic fared over the week.

The first day of release turned out to be the best day for the English version of Toxic. The film collected Rs. 1.38 lakhs on Friday from 11 shows across four cities – Mumbai, Bengaluru, Gurugram and Noida. On Saturday, the showcasing was reduced to seven shows in three cities – Mumbai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad – and the collections fell to Rs. 78,774. Even on Sunday, when the film continued to play in Mumbai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad, there was no weekend jump as the earnings slipped further to Rs. 70,460.

The situation worsened considerably on Monday, with Toxic crashing to just Rs. 15,034. Tuesday proved to be the film’s worst day, as the English version managed to collect a mere Rs. 3,125.

There was a marginal improvement on Wednesday, when the collections rose to Rs. 5,699, before falling again to Rs. 4,655 on Thursday. While the film was playing in Gurugram and Bengaluru on Monday, its showcasing was restricted to Bengaluru alone for the remaining weekdays, underlining the extremely poor demand for the English version.

As expected, owing to the extremely poor turnout, the English version of Toxic has been discontinued from Friday, September 11. What makes its performance all the more shocking is that Toxic was shot simultaneously in Kannada and English, while it was dubbed in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam. Despite being an original-language version, the English edition found virtually no takers, not just in India but Overseas as well. As a result, the recovery from the English version has been negligible.

The English version of Toxic has a tighter narrative. This is because its runtime is 176.52 minutes. In other words, Toxic's English version is 2 hours, 56 minutes and 52 seconds. The rest of the versions of the Yash-starrer have a run time of 194.12 minutes, that is, 3 hours, 14 minutes and 12 seconds.

The first week collections of Toxic’s English version:

Friday: Rs. 1,38,295 Saturday: Rs. 78,774 Sunday: Rs. 70,460 Monday: Rs. 15,034 Tuesday: Rs. 3,125 Wednesday: Rs. 5,699 Thursday: Rs. 4,655

TOTAL: Rs. 3,16,042

The Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan-led Haiwaan has witnessed a subdued response in advance booking so far. Going by the current pre-sales trend, the Priyadarshan-directed thriller is staring at an opening of under Rs. 5 crores, with the top national cinema chains expected to close advance sales at fewer than 10,000 tickets. The film will now need strong spot bookings and favourable word of mouth to make up for the lacklustre pre-release response.

The start is extremely poor, and the film will have to rely on the audience word of mouth, as that can help it show gains on the weekend and then clock a Monday higher than Friday.

But even for a miracle trending, it's a must for Haiwaan to open around the Rs. 5 crore mark, which at the moment looks tough. The film is a remake of a Malayalam film, and that has also dented the theatrical potential.

The producers have not put a lot of money into promoting the film, probably owing to the disastrous performance of Toxic. The eyes are now on word of mouth, which hopefully should land in favour of the film, leading to a spike in biz on Saturday and Sunday.

The Mirzapur phenomenon has officially translated into big-screen numbers. Mirzapur – The Movie has delivered a strong opening weekend at the box office, collecting Rs. 90.95 crore and emerging as the 4th highest opening weekend grosser of 2026.

The film has managed to put itself ahead of several notable theatrical releases this year, most significantly Awarapan 2. The Emraan Hashmi-led action drama had opened to Rs. 81.50 crore over its first weekend and had, until now, occupied the fifth spot on the list. Mirzapur – The Movie has now pushed it down to sixth place, underlining the strength of the franchise and the curiosity surrounding its theatrical debut.

What makes the number interesting is that Mirzapur has traditionally been identified with streaming rather than theatrical cinema. The series built an incredibly loyal following over its seasons, with Kaleen Bhaiya, Guddu Pandit and Munna Tripathi becoming pop-culture favourites. Bringing that world to theatres was therefore always going to be an experiment, but the opening weekend suggests that the fan base was more than willing to make the jump from the small screen to the big screen.

At Rs. 90.95 crore, Mirzapur – The Movie is now comfortably ahead of Awarapan 2, while still having some distance to cover before entering the top four. The list is currently headed by Dhurandhar The Revenge, which delivered a staggering Rs. 443 crore, followed by Border 2 at Rs. 129.89 crore, while Toxic occupies third position with Rs. 116.48 crore.

Below Mirzapur – The Movie and Awarapan 2 are Dhamaal 4 with Rs. 64.35 crore, Welcome To The Jungle with Rs. 63.47 crore, The Odyssey (English) with Rs. 56.85 crore, and Bhooth Bangla with Rs. 54.50 crore, Cocktail 2 with Rs. 46.76 cr and Alpha at Rs. 33.48 cr.

For Mirzapur – The Movie, however, the bigger story is not just the ranking. It is the fact that a franchise born and nurtured on streaming has now made a convincing theatrical statement. The real test begins from Monday, but for now, Guddu Pandit and company have plenty to celebrate.

Top 10 Highest Opening Weekend Grossers of 2026 Dhurandhar The Revenge - Rs. 443 cr Border 2 - Rs. 129.89 cr Toxic - Rs. 116.48 cr Mirzapur – The Movie - Rs. 90.95 cr Awarapan 2 - Rs. 81.50 cr Dhamaal 4 - Rs. 64.35 cr Welcome To The Jungle - Rs. 63.47 cr Bhooth Bangla -Rs. 54.50 cr Cocktail 2 - Rs. 46.76 cr Alpha - Rs. 33.48 cr

Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal,  Divyendu Sharma and Ravi Kishan led Mirzapur: The Movie is on a record-breaking spree at the box office in India. After collecting Rs. 55.77 crore on the first two days, the Excel Entertainment production is looking to collect in the range of Rs. 37 crore to Rs. 38 crore on Sunday, taking the opening weekend collections to Rs. 93 crore.

The film is a SUPER HIT venture, and the hold on Monday has a chance to take it to the BLOCKBUSTER level. The film has collected around Rs. 17 crore in the top 3 national chains on Sunday, which has contributed about 47 per cent to the total business. The single screens went berserk on Sunday, with most of the iconic places running to packed houses all through the day. The success of Mirzapur: The Movie is an eye-opener, as the film is among the first to transition from OTT to the big screen, paving the way for many more in the near future. The film is turning out to be the much-needed success for Excel Entertainment, which has been on a low in the post Covid times. The advances for Monday are strong, which means a double-digit day four is on the cards for the gangster drama.

The Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, Divyendu Sharma and Ravi Kishan led Mirzapur: The Movie has set the box office on fire in India. After a start of Rs. 24.47 crore, the gangster drama had a solid growth on the second day with Saturday collections of Rs. 31.3 crore. With this, the two-day total of this gangster drama stands at Rs. 55.77 crore.

The film is doing phenomenal business all across the board - be it multiplexes or the single screens. The film is showing growth despite coming off a partial holiday, and this is a great sign, talking volumes about the acceptance from cinema-going audiences. There should be another strong day on Sunday, which should take the weekend business to Rs. 90 crore plus, with a strong chance of hitting the Rs. 95 crore mark.

Mirzapur: The Movie has broken all norms, as it's the first from the digital world to take over the theatrical audience, and this should pave the way for many more in the years to come. This is the first breakout from the digital world on the big screen, and the eyes are on what comes next from here on.

Mirzapur is a hit film, and the hold on weekdays will tell us if it can emerge as a super hit or a blockbuster.

The Pankaj Tripathi, Divyendu Sharma, Ali Fazal and Ravi Kishan led Mirzapur: The Movie has embarked on a strong start at the box office in India. According to early estimates the gangster drama has opened in the range of Rs. 25 crore to Rs. 26 crore on Friday, going past the industry projections in the range of Rs.15 crore to Rs 20 crore.

The film has collected in the range of Rs. 12 crore nett in the national multiplexes chains, contributing about 50 percent to the total collections. There were reservations around this at the time of announcement as never before has a series been converted into a feature film for the big screen in India.

The film benefitted owing to Janmashtami on Friday, and the real value without holiday will be in the range of Rs. 17 crore, which is also humongous. Mirzapur will be aiming at an opening weekend in the vicinity of Rs. 80 crore, and with positive word of mouth, it will easily double up in the long run and hit Rs. 160 crore in the lifetime.

The film will end up being a super hit venture with strong ROI, as the digital value is also solid owing to the strong recall on the OTT world. There won't be much growth on second day, but if the film manages to stay at similar numbers on day 2, it will be enough to take it past the finish line.

Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal and Divyendu Sharma led Mirzapur: The Movie is set to take a flying start at the box office in India. The advances for the film opened on Monday, and the tickets have been selling like hot cakes ever since then. As of Thursday at 4.30 PM, Mirzapur: The Movie has sold 90,000 tickets in the top 3 national chains - PVRInox and Cinepolis - and is headed to close its pre-sales around the 1,30,000 tickets mark.

The advances will be higher than the Independence Day release, Awarapan 2, which sold around 1,20,000 tickets in the top 3 national chains. The film is selling better than Awarapan 2 in the non-national chains too, and with a holiday on the horizon, should record a start around the Rs 30 crore mark.

This is a fantastic start for a film, which is a derivative of a web series- first of its kind in India. The reason for such an opening is largely due to the strong IP and recall for the cult characters created by Excel Entertainment in the digital world. The film will be looking at an opening weekend of Rs. 100 crore, which is historic for a film without big stars or a hit song.

The inside reports on the film are also strong, which is a big plus, as the sky is the limit if the audience resonates with the content.

The Yash-led Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups has completed its first seven days at the India box office with collections of Rs. 124.62 crore in Hindi language. After taking a massive start of Rs. 50.31 crore on Wednesday, the Geetu Mohandas directorial witnessed a sharp erosion in collections through the extended opening weekend and is now heading towards a lifetime finish in the vicinity of Rs. 145–148 crore.

Toxic collected Rs. 21.75 crore on Thursday, followed by Rs. 17.40 crore on Friday, Rs. 13.90 crore on Saturday and Rs. 13.12 crore on Sunday. The real indication of its long-term trend, however, came on Monday when collections crashed to Rs. 4.09 crore, representing a drop of nearly 69 per cent from Sunday.

On Tuesday, the film collected another Rs. 4.05 crore. While the Monday-to-Tuesday hold might appear encouraging at first glance, the Tuesday collections were aided by offers, and hence cannot be viewed as a completely organic hold. The Wednesday number will consequently become crucial in determining how quickly Toxic begins to lose steam in its second week.

At present, the film has accumulated Rs. 124.62 crore in seven days. Going by the weekday trajectory, occupancies and expected reduction in showcasing, Toxic is likely to add only around Rs. 20–23 crore from this point onwards. A second weekend in the vicinity of Rs. 7–9 crore followed by progressively weaker weekdays could see the film reach approximately Rs. 138–141 crore by the end of its second week. Thereafter, limited business in the third and subsequent weeks should take its final collections to around Rs. 145–148 crore.

Unless the film witnesses an unexpected turnaround over its second weekend, Rs. 150 crore now appears difficult, with lifetime India box office collection projected at approximately Rs. 145–148 crores.

Hanuman Ansh continues to script one of the most extraordinary box-office stories of recent times. In a stunning turn of events, the sleeper hit has emerged as the No. 1 film at the India box office across all languages on September 1, achieving the feat for the first time since its release. What makes the achievement remarkable is that Hanuman Ansh accomplished it on Day 26 of its theatrical run.

The film collected a fantastic Rs. 8.07 crore on its 26th day, thereby going past Yash-starrer Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups, which collected Rs. 6.90 crore across all languages on Day 7. In other words, a film nearing the completion of four weeks in cinemas managed to comfortably outperform one of the biggest releases of the year while the latter was still in its opening week. The difference between the two films stood at Rs. 1.17 crore, with Hanuman Ansh collecting nearly 17% more than Toxic on Tuesday.

More importantly, September 1 marks a historic moment in the theatrical journey of Hanuman Ansh. Despite its sensational trajectory over the last couple of weeks, the film had never previously topped the daily India box-office chart. Day 26 finally changed that, with Hanuman Ansh becoming the highest-grossing film in India across all languages for the day.

The achievement becomes even more astonishing when one considers where the film started. Hanuman Ansh opened to extremely modest numbers and initially appeared destined for a limited theatrical run. However, exceptional word of mouth resulted in collections multiplying dramatically as exhibitors increased shows to cater to the rising demand.

Its performance is the exact opposite of the conventional box-office trajectory, where films usually register their biggest numbers during the opening weekend before gradually losing momentum. Hanuman Ansh, remarkably, has become stronger with each passing week.

For a 26-day-old film to beat a seven-day-old event film like Toxic is a rare box-office occurrence. And with Hanuman Ansh finally becoming the No. 1 film in India, its fairy-tale run has added yet another extraordinary chapter.

Every punt has an upside and a downside, and unfortunately, Toxic is facing the latter. After a bumper opening of Rs. 118 crore GBOC in India, it has been a journey of tragedy and depression for Toxic as the collections have come down crashing on a day-to-day basis. According to early estimates, the first Monday collections of Toxic is expected to be in the range of Rs 6.50 crore to Rs 7.00 crore.

Of this, the Hindi version will end up contributing a gross of about 4.50 crore, whereas the Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada version collectively will end up collecting another Rs 2.50 crore. The film has faced complete rejection all across the board, and there won't be any redemption of sorts in the day to come.

The 6-day total of Toxic led by Yash stands at Rs. 238 crore, and the film will be looking at a dismal finish in the range of Rs. 260 crore. One must note that this is also happening largely due to the strong number it posed on the opening day.

It has come down crashing like a pack of cards right from the first day, and that has largely happened due to the horrendous word of mouth it commanded in the cinema going audiences. The film will entail heavy losses, and its now on the producers to try and make good the losses with their next

After collecting Rs. 124 crores in its 5-day opening weekend, the Yash led Toxic has seen a huge drop in collections on the first Monday. According to very early estimates, the Geethu Mohandas directorial is looking to collect in the range of Rs. 3.25 crores to Rs. 3.75 crores on the 6th Day, taking the total collections to Rs.127.50 crores.

It's a drop of 94 percent from the opening day, which easily qualifies as one of the biggest ever Monday drops of all time. The film will struggle to even hit the Rs. 150 crore mark in Hindi and to think of it, that's crazy given the fact that it opened to a historic number of Rs. 53.50 crores.

Toxic is headed to emerge as one of the BIGGEST DISASTERS of all time as the losses are expected to be monumental.

The reports of Toxic are disastrous to say the least, and the collections are a replica of the same. There will be another drop on Tuesday, and the film is likely to be out of cinema halls from the second week due to no show in the audiences.

The Yash led Toxic is heading toward a major disaster as collections drop sharply after a strong opening day. If the present trends are anything to go by, the Geethu Mohandas directorial could end at a number as low as Rs. 150 crore in Hindi, and that's largely due to the Rs. 53 crore opening recorded by the film on Wednesday.

According to early estimates, Toxic is seeing NO GROWTH on Saturday; in fact, the collections might come down marginally, which signals a dangerous fate on Monday. Early estimates are suggesting a day in the range of Rs. 19 crore to Rs. 21 crore, taking the four-day total collections to Rs 115 crore.

Tomorrow could well be the last day of the run where Toxic stays at the double-digit levels, as the numbers will come down crashing to single digits from Monday. Toxic is turning out to be one of the worst trending films of all time, on the lines of the Aamir Khan-led Thugs of Hindostan, and that speaks volumes about the kind of word of mouth it is commanding among the cinema-going audience.

The Hindi market is still the best-performing market of the lot owing to the goodwill built by Yash post the historic success of the KGF Franchise, but the disastrous content has surely taken a dent in the standing.

The Ravi Teja-starrer Telugu flick, Irumudi, has emerged as one of the biggest box-office success stories in recent times, but its reported Rs. 104 crores worldwide gross in five days tells only a part of the story. What makes the film’s theatrical performance particularly noteworthy is the distributor share it has generated in comparison to the price at which its theatrical rights were reportedly acquired.

According to data shared by Suniel Wadhwa, co-founder and director at film production and distribution firm Karmic Films, Irumudi has generated a worldwide distributor share of around Rs. 56 crores within its first five days. The film’s worldwide theatrical rights are said to have been valued at approximately Rs. 20 crores, excluding GST. If these estimates are taken into account, the film has already generated distributor share nearly three times its overall theatrical acquisition value.

The biggest contributor has been Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The AP-TG theatrical rights were reportedly sold for around Rs. 15 crores, while the territory is estimated to have generated approximately Rs. 45 crores in distributor share in five days. In other words, the share is already 3X the acquisition price, with nearly Rs. 30 crores generated over and above the reported rights value.

Irumudi collected approximately Rs. 69.83 crore gross in India during its first five days. Of this, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana contributed around Rs. 59.07 crores, an extraordinary 84.6% of the film’s domestic gross.

As per Suniel Wadhwa, the five-day All India distributor share stand at around Rs. 49 crores and the worldwide share at Rs. 56 crores.

Suniel Wadhwa noted that the figures highlight an important distinction often overlooked in box-office conversations. While gross collections indicate the volume of ticket sales, distributor share reflects the amount flowing back theatrically. More importantly, comparing that share with the acquisition price gives a clearer indication of the returns generated for distributors.

In Irumudi’s case, the recovery question appears to have been answered within the opening weekend itself. The subsequent weekdays have only strengthened its profitability story, making the film an interesting case study of how strong demand, controlled theatrical pricing and concentrated performance can translate into exceptional returns for distributors.

Hanuman Ansh has found an unexpected late surge at the box office. The film, which released on August 7, has collected Rs. 9.05 crore at the India box office in 19 days, with a significant chunk of its business coming in the last three days.

What makes the recent trend particularly striking is the pace at which Hanuman Ansh has picked up. After collecting Rs. 1.57 crore by the end of its second week, the film added Rs. 6.38 crore between August 23 and August 25, accounting for a substantial portion of its overall theatrical earnings.

The film collected Rs. 2.58 crore on Day 17, August 23, followed by Rs. 1.26 crore on Day 18, August 24. It then delivered another strong number on Day 19, collecting Rs. 2.54 crore on August 25. Together, the three days contributed Rs. 6.38 crore to the film's total. The turnaround is a sharp contrast to Hanuman Ansh's initial run. The film opened with Rs. 0.10 crore and collected Rs. 0.64 crore over its opening weekend. Its first week closed at Rs. 1.07 crore, while the second week added only Rs. 0.50 crore. The third weekend marked the beginning of the film's remarkable late run. Hanuman Ansh collected Rs. 3.68 crore over its third weekend, a massive 1,168.97% jump over its second weekend total of Rs. 0.29 crore.

With the latest collections, Hanuman Ansh now stands at Rs. 9.05 crore at the India box office. The film's recent run has given its theatrical journey a completely different shape, with the bulk of its business arriving well after its opening weeks.

The Geethu Mohandas directed Toxic starring Yash, Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria, and Huma Qureshi, has set the box office on fire in Hindi, surpassing all pre-release expectations. According to early estimates, the action-packed thriller has collected in the range of Rs. 48 crore to Rs. 52 crore on Wednesday, thereby emerging the biggest opening of all time for a non-franchise South dubbed feature film.

The film has established Rocking Star Yash as one of the biggest crowd pullers in the Hindi markets, capitalising on the historic success of the KGF franchise. The pre-release expectations were in the range of Rs. 30 crore, but Toxic has decimated all estimates to emerge and join the prestigious Rs. 50 crore-plus box office club.

The film has collected around Rs. 20 crore in the top 3 national chains - which has contributed around 40 per cent to the total business. The reports are not positive, and the cracks are already visible in the advance booking trends for the second day. It's an expensive film, and hence a solid trend is a must in the days to come, but that looks unlikely.

Nonetheless, the opening day is historic and yet again shows that predictions are not for all to make, as every Friday gives birth to a new story and a new superhero. This Friday, it was all about Yash.

The Yash led Toxic is headed to take a strong start at the box office in Hindi as the film is selling tickets with strong momentum. As of Monday at 10.30 PM, the Yash led actioner has sold 1,40,000 tickets across the top 3 national chains - PVRInox and Cinepolis - and is headed to clock final advance in the range of 2,50,000 tickets.

This advance is indicative of a start in the range of Rs. 35 crore to Rs. 40 crore, which is one of the biggest openings of all time for a South Film dubbed in Hindi. When the bookings started on Friday, it looked like on track to sell 4,00,000 tickets in the national chains, but the pace slowed down a bit on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

The advances are solid outside the national chains - especially the single-screen centres in tier 2 and tier 3 centres. The film will have strong footfalls from the mass belts, and this is a result of a strong fan base of Yash due to the historic success of KGF and KGF 2.

The start is going to be historic, the 4th biggest of all time for a dubbed film in Hindi after Pushpa 2, Baahubali 2 and KGF 2. In-fact, it's the biggest start for a standalone non-franchise film in Hindi, and that speaks volumes about the impact of Yash in Hindi audience. If the content lands from hereon, Toxic is headed for a strong finish at the Hindi box office, as the sky is the limit.

Emraan Hashmi starrer Awarapan 2 has continued to hold its ground at the box office in its second weekend. The film collected Rs. 21.66 crore in its second weekend, making it the sixth highest second weekend grosser of 2026.

While the second weekend is naturally expected to see a drop from a film’s opening weekend, Awarapan 2 has managed to retain enough audience interest to stay firmly among the year’s better-performing films. The Rs. 21.66 crore weekend becomes another indicator of the film’s sustained theatrical run, particularly considering the number of new releases competing for screens and audience attention.

At the top of the list is Dhurandhar The Revenge, which recorded a phenomenal Rs. 164 crore in its second weekend. Spider-Man: Brand New Day follows with Rs. 83.80 crore, while Border 2 stands third with Rs. 48.50 crore. Dhamaal 4 occupies the fourth position with Rs. 27.79 crore, followed closely by Bhooth Bangla at Rs. 26.90 crore.

With Rs. 21.66 crore, Awarapan 2 takes the sixth spot, narrowly ahead of Welcome To The Jungle, which collected Rs. 20.53 crore in its second weekend. The difference between the two films is just Rs. 1.13 crore, making the comparison particularly interesting given that both films are among the notable Hindi theatrical releases of the year.

Further down the list are Project Hail Mary at Rs. 12.90 crore, Cocktail 2 at Rs. 12.37 crore and Main Vaapas Aaunga at Rs. 12.12 crore.

What makes Awarapan 2’s second weekend performance noteworthy is that the film is no longer simply benefiting from the curiosity surrounding its release. A second weekend of Rs. 21.66 crore suggests that the audience response has translated into sustained footfalls, with the film continuing to find viewers beyond its initial fan base.

The film's journey has also been interesting because Awarapan 2 was always carrying the weight of an emotionally remembered original. Instead of merely relying on nostalgia for its first weekend, the sequel has managed to keep the momentum going into its second week, giving it the legs required for a healthy theatrical run.

The second weekend figure also places the film in some good company. Only five films have managed a better second weekend in 2026 so far, and Awarapan 2 has comfortably moved ahead of several major releases on the list.

For a film that is now well into its second week, Rs. 21.66 crore over the weekend is a solid sign of audience hold. The bigger question now is how far the film can stretch its theatrical run and where it eventually lands on the year’s overall box office charts.

For now, though, Awarapan 2 has another distinction to its name: the sixth highest second weekend grosser of 2026.

Top 10 Second Weekend Grossers of 2026 Dhurandhar The Revenge - Rs. 164 cr Spider-Man: Brand New Day - Rs. 83.80 cr Border 2 - Rs. 48.50 cr Dhamaal 4 - Rs. 27.79 cr Bhooth Bangla - Rs. 26.90 cr Awarapan 2 - Rs. 21.66 cr Welcome To The Jungle - Rs. 20.53 cr Project Hail Mary - Rs. 12.90 cr Cocktail 2 - Rs. 12.37 cr Main Vaapas Aaunga - Rs. 12.12 cr

The Yash and Geethu Mohandas film, Toxic has taken an extraordinary start in advance bookings for the Hindi-dubbed version. The tickets went on sale on Friday at 8 AM, and the action thriller has sold 30,000 tickets across the top 3 national chains - PVRInox and Cinepolis - in less than 6 hours.

This is phenomenal momentum for the Yash starrer, and the early advance bookings are indicating first-day business in the range of Rs. 45 crore to Rs. 55 crore in Hindi alone. The film is priced at the super blockbuster slab, matching the rates of Dhurandhar 2 and Spiderman: Brand New Day, and the initial craze is also matching some of the biggest Hindi films of all time.

The 6-hour sales of Toxic are higher than the 6-hour sales of bumper openers like Animal, Dhurandhar, Tiger 3 and Spider-Man, among others. The advances are solid all across the board, be it multiplexes or the single screens.

Toxic is recording the second-biggest advance booking of 2026 after Dhurandhar 2, but one must note that the latter was a franchise, and this is a standalone original film, that too of Kannada origin.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day has achieved yet another major milestone at the Indian box office, with the Tom Holland-led Marvel superhero film crossing the Rs. 500 crore mark in India. The film has now accumulated Rs. 506.63 crore since its release, underlining the extraordinary staying power it has displayed through its theatrical run.

Released in India on July 30, a day ahead of its global release, Spider-Man: Brand New Day got off to a spectacular start and has maintained remarkable momentum well into its third week. The film's ability to sustain audience interest despite the arrival of newer releases has been particularly noteworthy. Bollywood Hungama's box office data records the film's India release date as July 30, 2026.

On Day 22, the film has already collected Rs. 0.97 crore through its morning, afternoon and evening shows. With night shows still to be added, the film is more than likely to finish the day by crossing the Rs. 1 crore mark once again. More significantly, the film is recording an impressive 10.8% occupancy despite being in the latter stages of its theatrical run and facing competition from films that have arrived in the subsequent weeks.

The sustained occupancy is perhaps as significant as the cumulative figure itself. For a film that has been in cinemas for more than three weeks, continuing to command double-digit occupancy indicates that Spider-Man: Brand New Day has not simply benefited from its massive opening but has managed to retain a consistent audience base. Recent reporting has similarly highlighted the film's resilience in its third week, with the film continuing to attract audiences despite competition from new Hindi releases.

The trajectory is particularly impressive when viewed against the scale of its opening. Brand New Day became a record-breaking theatrical performer in India from its first day itself, with reports putting its opening-day gross at Rs. 72.44 crore. The film has since converted that initial frenzy into sustained theatrical business, allowing it to move beyond the Rs. 500 crore milestone.

The milestone also reinforces the growing appetite for major Hollywood releases in the Indian theatrical market. Industry voices have pointed to the unprecedented screen allocation enjoyed by Spider-Man: Brand New Day at the start of its run, with multiplexes reportedly allocating around 70% of their daily showtimes to the film during its initial phase.

What makes the Rs. 506.63 crore haul particularly noteworthy is that the film is still adding meaningful numbers at a stage when most big-ticket releases experience a sharp drop in theatrical relevance. With another Rs. 1 crore-plus likely on Day 22, Spider-Man: Brand New Day continues to demonstrate that its run in India is far from over.

For Tom Holland's Spider-Man, the film's performance has once again underlined the character's extraordinary theatrical pull in India. More than three weeks after its arrival, audiences are still turning up for the web-slinger, allowing Brand New Day to add another landmark to what has become one of the most remarkable Hollywood box office runs in the country.

Emraan Hashmi’s Awarapan 2 has reached a major box-office milestone, crossing the Rs. 100 crore mark in India on its sixth day. The romantic action drama has emerged as the third fastest film of 2026 to enter the coveted Rs. 100 crore club, adding another significant achievement with what a strong theatrical run for the sequel has been.

According to the latest box-office figures, Awarapan 2 had collected Rs. 99.46 crore by the end of Day 5. The film then added Rs. 1.40 crore nett from its morning and afternoon shows on Wednesday, Day 6, taking its running total to Rs. 100.86 crore. With the milestone now crossed, the Emraan Hashmi starrer has joined the year's fastest Rs. 100 crore grossers.

Awarapan 2 now sits behind only Dhurandhar The Revenge and Spider-Man: Brand New Day on the list. Dhurandhar The Revenge, which released on March 19, remains the fastest film of 2026 to reach the milestone, entering the Rs. 100 crore club in just one day. Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which arrived in theatres on July 30, achieved the feat in two days. Awarapan 2, meanwhile, has accomplished the same in six days.

The achievement becomes even more noteworthy when compared with the other films that have crossed the Rs. 100 crore mark this year. Dhamaal 4 took nine days to reach the milestone and has gone on to collect Rs. 163.62 crore, while Welcome To The Jungle also took nine days and currently stands at Rs. 130.796 crore. In terms of speed, Awarapan 2 has therefore outpaced both films despite having a considerably different scale and pre-release positioning.

For Emraan Hashmi, the century is particularly significant. The actor has spent years building a loyal audience through films that combine romance, music, drama and darker emotional themes. Awarapan 2 has tapped into that established connection while also leveraging the nostalgia attached to the franchise. The result is a theatrical run that has transformed what could have been a straightforward franchise revival into one of the more surprising commercial successes of 2026.

The film's journey to the Rs. 100 crore mark has also been impressive for the manner in which it has sustained its momentum after the opening weekend. Awarapan 2 built a substantial cushion in its first three days and then continued to attract audiences through the weekdays. By adding Rs. 1.40 crore from Wednesday's morning and afternoon shows, the film comfortably moved past the century mark on Day 6.

The timing could also work in the film's favour. With Toxic scheduled to arrive on August 26, Awarapan 2 has several more days to capitalise on its momentum and maximise its collections before a major new release begins to put pressure on its screen count.

The conversation around the film has now shifted from whether Awarapan 2 can cross Rs. 100 crore to how far it can ultimately go. Having achieved the milestone in just six days, the film has already surpassed the expectations surrounding its theatrical prospects and established itself as one of the year's notable box-office performers.

At Rs. 100.86 crore and counting, Awarapan 2 has not only given Emraan Hashmi a major solo box-office milestone but has also emerged as the third fastest Rs. 100 crore grosser of 2026.

Fastest Rs. 100 cr Grossers of 2026 Dhurandhar The Revenge - Rs. 1108.09 - 1 Day Spider-Man: Brand New Day - Rs. 476.92 - 2 Days Awarapan 2 - Rs. 100.81 - 6 Days Dhamaal 4 - Rs. 163.62 - 9 Days Welcome To The Jungle - Rs. 130.796 - 9 Days

Emraan Hashmi’s Awarapan 2 has crossed the coveted Rs. 100 crore mark at the Indian box office. The film achieved the milestone on Wednesday, Day 6 of its theatrical run, after collecting Rs. 1.40 crore nett from morning and afternoon shows. The Emraan Hashmi starrer had ended its fifth day with a cumulative collection of Rs. 99.46 crore. With another Rs. 1.40 crore coming in from the first half of Day 6, Awarapan 2 has now taken its total to Rs. 100.86 crore nett, officially entering the Rs. 100 crore club.

The milestone is a significant one for Hashmi, as Awarapan 2 marks the actor’s first solo film to cross the Rs. 100 crore mark in India. The achievement also underlines the strong theatrical pull generated by the sequel, which has benefited from the nostalgia surrounding the Awarapan franchise as well as renewed audience interest in Hashmi.

The film had opened strongly on Friday with Rs. 23.40 crore, followed by an impressive Rs. 34.09 crore on Saturday and Rs. 26.82 crore on Sunday. The opening weekend stood at Rs. 84.31 crore, providing the film with a substantial cushion going into the weekdays. It then collected Rs. 10.06 crore on Monday and Rs. 5.09 crore on Tuesday, taking its five-day total to Rs. 99.46 crore.

With the Rs. 100 crore milestone now achieved on Day 6, Awarapan 2 has demonstrated considerable resilience beyond its opening weekend. The film’s journey from a strong weekend to the century club in less than a week indicates that the audience interest has extended beyond the initial wave of franchise nostalgia.

The film also has a few more days to maximise its theatrical run before Toxic arrives on Wednesday, August 26. With no major release competing for screens immediately, Awarapan 2 has an open window to build on its momentum and push its lifetime collections further.

For Hashmi, the Rs. 100 crore achievement is arguably the biggest commercial validation of his recent theatrical comeback. Having established a loyal following through romantic dramas, thrillers and music-driven films, the actor has once again found himself at the centre of a major box-office success. Awarapan 2 has not only revived a popular franchise but also reinforced Hashmi’s ability to draw audiences to theatres when given the right vehicle.

Having crossed Rs. 100 crore in just six days, the focus now shifts to where Awarapan 2 eventually lands. With the film already past the century mark and several days still available before the arrival of Toxic, the sequel has a clear opportunity to add substantially to its tally.

Awarapan 2 has continued its strong run at the box office after its opening weekend, with the Emraan Hashmi starrer recording Rs. 8.89 crore on its first Monday. The film has consequently emerged as the fourth-highest first Monday grosser of 2026, putting it ahead of several major Hindi releases of the year.

The Monday hold is particularly encouraging because it indicates that the film's strong weekend business has translated into weekday footfalls. Awarapan 2 has collected Rs. 8.89 crore, edging past Welcome To The Jungle, which recorded Rs. 8.24 crore, and Dhamaal 4, which earned Rs. 8.18 crore on their respective first Mondays. The Emraan Hashmi starrer is therefore ahead of the two films by 7.9% and 8.7%, respectively.

At the top of the chart, Border 2 remains the year's biggest first Monday grosser with a massive Rs. 63.59 crore, followed by Dhurandhar: The Revenge at Rs. 59 crore. Spider-Man: Brand New Day occupies the third spot with Rs. 23.30 crore, meaning Awarapan 2 is the only film in the Top 5 after these three major event releases to cross the Rs. 8 crore mark on its first Monday.

The gap with the films below Awarapan 2 is also telling. Bhooth Bangla collected Rs. 6.25 crore on its first Monday, while Cocktail 2 recorded Rs. 6.07 crore. O' Romeo and Alpha are further behind at Rs. 4.25 crore and Rs. 3.82 crore, respectively. In other words, Awarapan 2 has delivered a Monday collection nearly 42% higher than Bhooth Bangla and over 46% higher than Cocktail 2.

What makes the Monday number significant is that Awarapan 2 is not simply riding the strength of its opening weekend anymore. A first Monday of Rs. 8.89 crore suggests that the film has retained a sizeable portion of its weekend audience, giving it a solid foundation for the crucial first-week run. For a sequel built around the cult recall of the original and Emraan Hashmi's action image, the weekday response provides an important indication that the theatrical interest extends beyond the initial nostalgia factor.

The film's position is even more impressive when viewed against the scale of the 2026 box office. The top three first Monday performers — Border 2, Dhurandhar: The Revenge and Spider-Man: Brand New Day — are all large-scale event films. Awarapan 2, meanwhile, has positioned itself directly behind them, while staying ahead of several established franchises and star-driven releases.

For Emraan Hashmi, the Monday performance further strengthens what has already been a remarkable career turnaround. After emerging as his biggest opening weekend grosser, Awarapan 2 has now added another significant milestone by entering the Top 4 first Monday performers of 2026.

With Rs. 8.89 crore coming in on the first working day after the weekend, the film has given itself a healthy platform for the rest of the week. The key now will be how well it holds through Tuesday and Wednesday, but for the moment, Awarapan 2 is firmly holding its own among the year's biggest theatrical performers.

Top 10 Highest First Monday Grossers of 2026 Border 2 - Rs. 63.59 cr Dhurandhar The Revenge - Rs. 59 cr Spider-Man: Brand New Day - Rs. 23.30 cr Awarapan 2 - Rs. 8.89 cr Welcome To The Jungle - Rs. 8.24 cr Dhamaal 4 - Rs. 8.18 cr Bhooth Bangla - Rs. 6.25 cr Cocktail 2 - Rs. 6.07 cr O' Romeo- Rs. 4.25 cr Alpha - Rs. 3.82 cr

Awarapan 2 has delivered another major box office milestone for Emraan Hashmi, with the film recording the highest single-day collection of the actor's career. The sequel collected a staggering Rs. 33.77 crore on Saturday, comfortably surpassing the previous benchmark held by Baadshaho.

The scale of the jump is significant. Baadshaho, which was previously Hashmi's biggest single-day grosser among the films listed, collected Rs. 15.60 crore on its second day. Awarapan 2 has therefore more than doubled that benchmark, registering a 116% higher collection on Saturday.

The film's performance has been consistently strong across its opening weekend. After collecting Rs. 21.89 crore on Friday, Awarapan 2 surged to Rs. 33.77 crore on Saturday before adding another Rs. 25.84 crore on Sunday. This takes its three-day total to Rs. 81.50 crore, underlining the remarkable momentum the film has built since release.

The gap with Hashmi's earlier best is even more striking when the individual days are compared. Baadshaho collected Rs. 12.60 crore on Friday and Rs. 15.60 crore on Saturday, while Awarapan 2 opened at Rs. 21.89 crore before exploding on Saturday. Raaz 3 had recorded Rs. 10.47 crore on its opening day, while The Dirty Picture had collected Rs. 9.54 crore.

What stands out is that Awarapan 2 isn't merely benefiting from one exceptional day. The film has maintained a strong level of audience interest across all three days, with each of its opening weekend collections comfortably ahead of the single-day benchmarks of Hashmi's earlier major successes.

For an actor whose strongest theatrical phase came more than a decade ago, the response to Awarapan 2 is particularly telling. The film has managed to reconnect Hashmi with the mass audience in a way that goes beyond nostalgia, turning the return to his action avatar into a genuine box office event.

With a Rs. 33.77 crore single-day record now to his name, Hashmi has found a new career benchmark and Awarapan 2 is proving that the actor's box office pull still has plenty of firepower left.

Emraan Hashmi has achieved a career-defining box office milestone with Awarapan 2. Just three days after its release, the action entertainer has emerged as the highest-grossing film of Hashmi's career, surpassing the lifetime collections of The Dirty Picture.

Awarapan 2 has collected Rs. 82.09 crore in its opening weekend, taking it past The Dirty Picture, which ended its theatrical run at Rs. 80 crore. The film has therefore rewritten Hashmi's career-best benchmark within just three days, an impressive turnaround for an actor whose biggest theatrical successes came largely during the 2000s and early 2010s.

The scale of the achievement becomes more striking when viewed against Hashmi's other major performers. Baadshaho stands at Rs. 78.10 crore, followed by Raaz 3 at Rs. 70.07 crore and Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai at Rs. 55.47 crore. Murder 2 collected Rs. 47.90 crore, while Jannat 2 finished at Rs. 42.50 crore.

What makes Awarapan 2's run particularly significant is the speed at which it has reached the milestone. Unlike a film that gradually builds over several weeks, the sequel has raced past the career benchmarks of some of Hashmi's most recognised films almost immediately. Its Rs. 82.09 crore opening weekend is already Rs. 4 crore ahead of The Dirty Picture and Rs. 3.99 crore above Baadshaho.

The result also points to the strength of the Awarapan brand and the enduring connect audiences have with Hashmi in an action-oriented avatar. The sequel has managed to turn nostalgia for the original into strong theatrical demand, giving Hashmi something that has eluded him for years: a film that combines franchise recall with a genuinely massive commercial opening.

With Awarapan 2 already sitting at the top of his career chart after only three days, the question is no longer whether the film will become Hashmi's biggest hit, but how far beyond the Rs. 82 crore mark it can eventually go. For an actor whose previous career-high stood at Rs. 80 crore, the sequel has delivered a remarkably swift and emphatic box office reset.

Emraan Hashmi's Top 10 All-Time Highest Grossers Awarapan 2 - Rs. 82.09 cr The Dirty Picture - Rs. 80 cr Baadshaho - Rs. 78.1 cr Raaz 3 - Rs. 70.07 cr Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai - Rs. 55.47 cr Murder 2 - Rs. 47.90 cr Jannat 2 - Rs. 42.50 cr Hamari Adhuri Kahani - Rs. 34.43 cr Ghanchakkar - Rs. 31.60 cr Azhar - Rs. 29.70 cr

The Emraan Hashmi and Disha Patani led Awarapan 2 has taken the box office by storm, surpassing all pre-release expectations. According to early estimates, the Nitin Kakkar directorial is looking to collect in the range of Rs. 19 crore to Rs. 21 crore on a non-holiday Friday.

This is the career-best opening day for Emraan Hashmi and is headed to become his biggest grosser in the long run. The film will see a big spike in business on Saturday owing to the Independence Day holiday, and consolidate that with a strong Sunday. The first weekend of Awarapan 2 is expected to be around the Rs. 80 crore mark, which is fantastic to say the least.

From there, the film will enter the Rs. 100 crore club in less than a week, and embark on a journey to the Rs. 150 crore club. Awarapan 2 has collected around Rs. 10 crore net in the top 3 national chains, contributing about 50 per cent to the total business.

The film is a hit on arrival, and we need to see how big a hit it becomes in the days to come. It faced competition from Batwara, which has not really taken off, but took a dent in the business of Awarapan 2 due to showcasing tussle between PVR Inox and Pen Marudhar.

The Sunny Deol and Rajkumar Santoshi reunion on Batwara 1947 has not really set the ball rolling at the box office. According to early estimates, the partition drama has collected in the range of Rs. 5 crore to Rs. 6 crore on Friday, which is much below the industry projections of Rs. 9 crore.

The film has collected around Rs. 3 crore in the top 3 national chains - PVR Inox and Cinepolis- which have contributed 55 per cent to the total business. The start is slow, but the reports seem to be on the positive side, which gives the film some sort of hope to perform well over the weekend.

There is the big Independence Day holiday on Saturday, and that should help the film put up big gains at the box office. If it manages to double up, and sustain at a similar number on Sunday, there is a shot for it to do respectable business, though the success story will be determined by the trend from the weekdays.

Awarapan 2 has opened to a strong response at the box office, with the Emraan Hashmi starrer witnessing healthy audience turnout during the morning shows. The film, which carries significant franchise nostalgia and has generated strong pre-release anticipation, is showing encouraging signs of momentum on its opening day.

As of 12 noon, Awarapan 2 has collected approximately Rs. 3.5 crore at the domestic box office. The film registered an overall 21.7% occupancy during the morning shows, indicating a solid start and leaving room for growth through the afternoon, evening and night shows.

The action entertainer has also recorded impressive ticket sales. Awarapan 2 has sold over 1,40,897 tickets across 618 cities, 1,654 venues and 3,867 shows, underlining the strong demand for the Emraan Hashmi starrer. The substantial advance sales, coupled with the healthy morning occupancy, have put the film on course for a double-digit opening.

Regionally, NCR emerged as the top-performing market, recording a nett collection of Rs. 60.13 lakh from 362 shows across 121 venues, with an occupancy of 32.0% and 22,917 tickets sold. Maharashtra followed with a nett of Rs. 51.31 lakh from 618 shows across 289 venues, registering 17.0% occupancy and selling 24,664 tickets. Uttar Pradesh ranked third with a nett of Rs. 40.98 lakh from 307 shows across 144 venues, recording 28.3% occupancy and selling 19,348 tickets.

Among the top cities, Delhi led the pack with a nett of Rs. 30.70 lakh from 124 shows across 44 venues, registering 43.1% occupancy and selling 10,661 tickets. Mumbai followed with a nett of Rs. 18.19 lakh from 167 shows across 72 venues, recording 19.9% occupancy and selling 8,328 tickets, while Pune registered a nett of Rs. 11.02 lakh from 126 shows across 42 venues, with 18.2% occupancy and 5,257 tickets sold.

Among the major national cinema chains, PVR recorded the highest nett at Rs. 77.01 lakh from 453 shows across 166 venues, with an occupancy of 33.9% and 29,576 tickets sold. INOX followed with a nett of Rs. 56.19 lakh from 384 shows across 147 venues, registering 29.9% occupancy and selling 24,549 tickets. Cinepolis recorded a nett of Rs. 24.15 lakh from 179 shows across 63 venues, with 25.2% occupancy and 9,209 tickets sold.

With the afternoon and evening shows expected to witness an uptick in occupancy, Awarapan 2 is likely to see collections grow over evening and night shows on its opening day, provided the film maintains its momentum through the rest of the day.

The strong start comes as a significant boost for the film, which is attempting to capitalise on the cult recall of the original Awarapan. The sequel has also benefited from heightened interest in Emraan Hashmi's return to the action genre, with the film expected to draw audiences looking for a mass-appealing entertainer.

The film's performance through the evening shows will be crucial in determining whether Awarapan 2 can surpass the Rs. 12 crore mark and register a bigger-than-expected opening at the domestic box office.
