Dileep's much-anticipated return to the silver screen with 'Prince and Family' has opened to a modest start at the box office.
According to data from the Sacnilk website, the film collected Rs 1.01 crore in India net on its opening day, with the worldwide gross touching Rs 1.14 crore. While the verdict is still awaited, the film has managed to draw decent initial footfall for a regional release — signalling the lingering pull of Dileep's star power despite changing audience tastes.

'Prince and Family' marks Dileep's return after a long hiatus, and it leans heavily on the actor's trademark comic flair and vintage screen presence.

Prince And Family | Song - Maayunnallo
Directed by debutant Binto Stephen, the film is a social comedy that revolves around a traditional hero in a not-so-traditional world. Dileep plays 'Prince,' a small-town boutique owner who is the eldest of three brothers. Despite being admired in his community, his overly specific expectations for a life partner keep him from getting married, unlike his younger siblings who are already raising families.
On Day 1, the Malayalam version alone raked in ₹1.01 crore in net collections. With no overseas figures reported yet, the film's initial traction is largely domestic. This opening signals a lukewarm but stable start for a Dileep film, which typically relies on strong family audience turnout over the weekend.
Old-School Charm vs. Topical Issues
While the film attempts to retain Dileep's 'vintage charm,' critics and early viewers have pointed out that the storytelling may feel outdated, especially considering the topical themes it tries to address. The central narrative follows a familiar trope — the 'good guy marries bad girl' — which may not resonate as strongly with today's audiences. Despite its attempt at social relevance, the writing feels stuck in an earlier era.
An Odd Casting Choice
ETimes gave the movie a rating of 3 stars out of 5 and our review reads, 'Maybe it is time for Dileep to move to more contemporary characterisations, particularly when the issue discussed is very topical. And it is definitely not a Dileep-Dhyan Sreenivasan movie; why the latter actor makes an appearance in the bit part is puzzling. It is a typical good guy marries 'bad girl' story. Dileep is the titular Prince, a small-town, but very popular boutique owner and the oldest of three brothers. The bane of his life is that he, with his various conditions for what his wife must be like, remains unmarried, while his brothers are married and start families.'

Dakota Johnson Steps Out In A Sheer Black Dress After Breakup With Chris Martin
Last Updated: Following her breakup with Coldplay's Chris Martin, Dakota Johnson stepped out in New York City in a sheer body-hugging dress. Fans call it her 'revenge dressing era.' Actor Dakota Johnson has been making headlines following her split with Coldplay's Chris Martin after dating for eight years. The actor was recently spotted at the NBC Studios at Rockefeller Plaza in New York where she appeared on the latest episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers to promote her film – Materialists. For her appearance on the talk show, the actor opted for a black body-hugging sheer ensemble. Known for her effortlessly chic and confident style, Dakota Johnson pulled off this risque outfit like a pro. The actor paired the black sheer ensemble with minimal accessories to let the outfit do all the talking. In what can be termed as Dakota's revenge dressing era, she stepped out with panache. DAKOTA MAYI JOHNSON TODAY OH MY GOODNESS — ju 🕸 (@dakotasrare) June 5, 2025 Wearing a sheer, figure-hugging bodysuit by London-based designer Nensi Dojaka, Dakota Johnson wore the long-sleeved Renee bodysuit (£530, approximately Rs 61,499) that featured Dojaka's signature anatomical cut-outs and precise paneling. With its sheer detail, the bodysuit was more mesmerizing than flashy, the look drew you in without screaming for attention. Dakota paired it with the matching Mila tulle midi skirt (£700, approximately Rs 81,225), which moved behind her like a soft breeze, adding a hint of romance to the otherwise sultry ensemble. A strapless black bodysuit worn underneath subtly toned things down, striking the perfect balance between bold and refined. As the newly appointed global ambassador for luxury jeweller Roberto Coin, Dakota kept her accessories refreshingly minimal, just dainty earrings and a sleek pair of pointed Saint Laurent Raven sling backs in black. Her glam stayed true to her signature: pin-straight hair, a classic fringe grazing her brows, and an effortless air that's unmistakably Dakota. Dakota and Chris have been romantically linked since 2017. The couple chose to keep their relationship mostly out of the spotlight. Still, they made occasional headlines with rare public outings, like Dakota accompanying Chris on his Coldplay Music of the Spheres tour stop in India earlier this year, or the pair being spotted leaving a Malibu yoga class together in May this year. Despite periodic breakup rumours over the years, insiders have consistently reassured fans that things remained strong between the two. However, a recent exclusive source report from PEOPLE mentions that this might be their 'final' breakup. tags : dakota johnson fashion lifestyle Location : Delhi, India, India First Published: June 07, 2025, 09:08 IST News lifestyle Dakota Johnson Steps Out In A Sheer Black Dress After Breakup With Chris Martin

Housefull 5 Box Office Collection Day 1: Akshay Kumar's Film Gets A Flying Start, Mints Rs 23 Crore
New Delhi: Akshay Kumar is back on the big screen with Housefull 5, the latest installment in the popular comedy franchise. After a rather difficult 2024, which saw multiple underperformers like Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Khel Khel Mein, Sarfira and Singham Again, the actor's 2025 also started on a disappointing note with Sky Force failing to draw crowds. While Kesari 2 saw some success, it didn't match Akshay's previous box office highs. What Housefull 5, directed by Tarun Mansukhani and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, marks Akshay's return to the comedy genre. The film released on June 6 and minted Rs 23 crore nett at the domestic box office. This made it his fourth-biggest opening, after Mission Mangal (Rs 29.16 crore), Sooryavanshi (Rs 26.29 crore) and Gold (Rs 25.25 crore). The film's first-day earnings surpassed the opening day collection of Akshay Kumar's previous release, Kesari Chapter 2, which made Rs 7.75 crore. Housefull 5 was released in two versions: Housefull 5A and Housefull 5B. On Friday, Housefull 5A recorded an overall Hindi occupancy of 28.88%, with the night shows seeing the highest occupancy at 45.65%. Housefull 5B had an overall occupancy of 16%, with its night shows peaking at 27.18%. The film's box office performance is expected to grow over the weekend. Background Compared to Akshay's recent releases, the expectations are significantly higher. Kesari 2 opened with Rs 7.75 crore and wrapped its run at Rs 92 crore, while Khel Khel Mein, which clashed with Vedaa and Stree 2, opened with just Rs 5 crore. If early predictions hold, Housefull 5 will outperform both. The film is being screened widely, with over 5,000 screens globally. Major multiplex chains are reportedly running up to 18-20 shows per day, and some theatres are showing it 21 times daily. Morning occupancy was mixed, ranging between 5.5% and 9%, but it is expected to rise during evening shows. With a reported budget of Rs 225 crore, distributors estimate the film will need to earn around ₹450 crore to break even. Housefull 5 has not been released in multiple languages but has two versions, possibly for technical reasons or edits. The ensemble cast includes Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Jackie Shroff, Nana Patekar, Fardeen Khan, Sanjay Dutt, Shreyas Talpade, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri and others. The story revolves around the chaos following the death of a billionaire aboard a luxury cruise ship. Tarun Mansukhani, who previously directed Dostana in 2008, returns to direction after over a decade. In A Nutshell Housefull 5, starring Akshay Kumar and Riteish Deshmukh, had a strong start at the domestic box office, earning Rs 23 crore on its opening day. With multiple underperformers behind him, Housefull 5 can be a potential turning point for Akshay Kumar's box office journey.

Despite personal transitions, Zoe's professional star has only risen, with her influence still felt on red carpets and in fashion circles. What to Expect With Rachel Zoe's signature style, candid personality, and deep Hollywood connections, fans can expect a season brimming with couture, wit, and perhaps a little 'bananas' drama. As Bravo teases more cast announcements, one thing is certain: RHOBH's 15th season is shaping up to be its most fashionable yet.
