Dhadak 2 Day 5 India Box Office: Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri's movie fails to entice audiences; Adds Rs 1.50 crore on Discount Tuesday
Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri-led Dhadak 2, couldn't gain much traction despite discounted ticket fares on Tuesday. The romantic drama revolving around caste discrimination is heading for a disastrous end. Dhadak 2 adds Rs 1.50 crore on Day 5, cume approaches Rs 14 crore Opened with Rs 3.50 crore on Day 1, Dhadak 2 saw some growth on its second day where it collected Rs 3.75 crore. Further, it witnessed a nominal jump and collected Rs 4 crore on Sunday, wrapping the opening weekend at Rs 11 crore. However, the movie fell flat on the weekdays. It collected just Rs 1.25 crore on its first Monday, dropping by 64% over the opening day. The Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri movie couldn't even see the much-needed jump on Tuesday despite the blockbuster pricing. As per estimates, Dhadak 2 has netted another Rs 1.50 crore on Day 5, taking the total cume to Rs 14 crore net at the Indian box office. Day-wise box office collections of Dhadak 2 are as follows: Directed by Shazia Iqbal, the romantic drama met with majorly positive reception- however it didn't translate into the footfalls. One of the key reasons behind its low box office performance is dull marketing and promotional strategy. The remake factor had also worked against the movie. Moreover, the movie faced tough completions from Mahavatar Narsimha, Saiyaara, and Son Of Sardaar 2. A better marketing strategy and strong promotional assets would have benefitted the movie in true sense. Dhadak 2 in cinemas Dhadak 2 is playing in cinemas. You can book your tickets from the online ticket-booking websites or grab them from the counter itself. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

Meet actress who spent nights on road, faced casting couch at 16, was once under huge debt, her name is...
From being a household name on TV to battling silent storms offscreen, Rashami Desai recently revealed a painful chapter of her life on Paras Chhabra's podcast. With tears in her voice, she recalled a time when she had no roof over her head and had to sleep in her Audi A6. 'I had bought a house and was under a Rs 2.5 crore loan. In total, my debt was around Rs 3.25–3.5 crore,' she shared. 'Things felt stable, but suddenly my show was pulled off the air.' What happened during those dark four days? Rashami moved out of her home, kept her luggage at her manager's house, and chose not to involve her family. For four days, she lived out of her car—alone and struggling. 'I would eat like rickshaw drivers, food worth Rs 20,' she confessed. She added, 'I realised in those days that I had never made myself a priority. I always put work, people, and expectations first.' Did she face danger early in her career? Yes. Rashami also revisited a shocking incident from her teenage years. 'When I was 16, I had gone for an audition. They tried to make me unconscious there. I ran from that place,' she told Bollywood Bubble in 2024. She began her acting journey with B-grade films, but TV gave her the identity she longed for. From working with Sidharth Shukla to Sreejita De, she became a familiar face in Indian households. How did she bounce back? 'I did many shows, cleared my debts,' she said. But it came at a cost. 'I didn't sleep. I was full of stress inside, but I didn't let it show. I used to think, What kind of life is this? It would be better to just die.' Today, she's standing tall—but her story is a reminder: not every celebrity success is glossy behind the scenes.

Ahaan Panday Pulls Down Mask, Greets Paps As Saiyaara Crosses Rs 500 Cr Globally
Ahaan Panday smiles, removes mask for paps, clicks selfie with fan as Saiyaara earns over Rs 500 crore worldwide, becoming the year's second-biggest hit. Ahaan Panday was all smiles as he greeted the paparazzi on Tuesday night following the roaring box office success of his debut film Saiyaara. The young actor, dressed in a blue hoodie and denim, was initially seen wearing a white mask. However, at the paparazzi's repeated requests, Ahaan sweetly pulled it down, flashing a warm smile and acknowledging the congratulatory wishes coming his way. He even clicked a selfie with a fan waiting outside and graciously thanked everyone for the love the film has been receiving. The grand gesture of gratitude comes after Saiyaara, directed by Mohit Suri and produced by YRF, officially crossed the Rs 500 crore mark worldwide within just three weeks of release. According to the trade website Sacnilk, the romantic musical collected Rs 302.10 crore net and Rs 362.50 crore gross in India. With an overseas collection of Rs 130 crore, the worldwide total stands at Rs 492.50 crore. However, a press release from the film's team stated even higher numbers — Rs 308 crore net and Rs 376 crore gross domestically, and Rs 131 crore from overseas — taking the global total to Rs 507 crore. Celebrating the milestone, YRF shared on Instagram, '#Saiyaara found a home in your hearts – and we couldn't be more thankful." The Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda-starrer is now officially the second-highest-grossing Indian film of the year after Chhaava, which raked in Rs 807.91 crore worldwide. Saiyaara has also surpassed the lifetime collections of big-budget titles like War (Rs 471 crore) and Dunki (Rs 454 crore), solidifying Ahaan's arrival in the industry. Saiyaara narrates the story of Krish Kapur (Ahaan), a passionate and short-tempered musician searching for a breakthrough. He meets Vaani (Aneet), a heartbroken journalist whose poetry inspires his music career. As their bond deepens, love blooms but fate intervenes. First Published:
