HIT 3 Beats Eega, Becomes Nani's Second Biggest Box Office Hit Worldwide
Nani's HIT: The Third Case, directed by Sailesh Kolanu, has surpassed Eega's lifetime gross, becoming his second highest-grossing film globally after Dasara.
Nani's latest crime thriller HIT: The Third Case is proving to be a solid winner at the box office. Directed by Sailesh Kolanu, the film has officially surpassed the lifetime worldwide gross of Eega (2012), making it Nani's second highest-grossing film globally after Dasara. HIT 3, which released on May 1, continues the popular Homicide Intervention Team franchise and stars Nani alongside KGF actress Srinidhi Shetty. The gripping storyline and strong word-of-mouth have helped the film maintain steady collections, both domestically and overseas.
While Dasara remains Nani's biggest hit to date, on Day 9, HIT: The Third Case edged past Eega, a landmark film in his career directed by S.S. Rajamouli. It is Nani's 4th film to cross the Rs 100 crore milestone globally.
On its ninth day in theatres, HIT: The Third Case collected an estimated ₹1.77 crore in India, bringing its net domestic total to ₹65.27 crore, according to Sacnilk. With taxes included, the film's gross collection in India has reached approximately ₹77.01 crore. While the movie has seen a dip in overseas earnings, its international gross currently stands at around ₹24 crore.
HIT The Third Case also features Surya Srinivas, Rao Ramesh, Nepoleon, Komalee Prasad, and several others in pivotal roles. The HIT franchise kicked off in 2020 with HIT: The First Case, starring Vishwak Sen and Ruhani Sharma. The second installment, HIT: The Second Case, released in 2022, brought in Adivi Sesh and Meenakshi Chaudhary in the lead roles.

War 2 Day 3 India Box Office: Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani's movie starts showing worrying signs; Grosses Rs 38 crore
War 2, directed by Ayan Mukerji, and starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani dropped on day 3 at the India box office. The film was coming off a National holiday and the drop was on the cards, but it should have been holding better. The movie grossed only Rs 38 crore on day 3 when it should have been doing around Rs 50 crore, to be in contention for a favourable verdict. War 2 Adds Rs 38 Crore Gross On Day 3 In India; Starts Showing Worrying Signs The Hindi version of War 2 is doing the heavy-lifting, with Rs 26 crore net (Rs 31.50 crore gross). These, in no way, classify as good numbers. Based on the falling trend, these numbers are actually underwhelming. The Telugu version of the movie is on a freefall, with the day 3 gross expected to be around Rs 7 crore. It is over 70 percent down from the opening day. The majority of the Telugu audience has not resonated with films from the Spy Universe, and the case with War 2 is no different. The Tamil version of the movie has negligible contributions of around Rs 15-20 lakh. The final collections from this version shall be under Rs 1.50 crore. The Day Wise India Gross Collections Of War 2 Are As Under War 2 Will Barely Do Rs 200 Crore India Gross Over Its Extended Opening Weekend The 3 day gross of War 2 in India stands at Rs 164 crore, and by the end of the extended weekend, it should barely touch Rs 200 crore. Rs 200 crore India gross should have been breached in two or a maximum of three days given the star power, scale and potential but that has sadly, not happened. Coolie, which held comparitively lesser appeal, has put up higher collections. With the way the movie is doing, it should be curtains for the movie in the weekdays. If the film manages to somehow sustain over the weekdays, even then, it will never be able to do the numbers that help it classify as a success. War 2 In Theatres

Malaika Arora Hints At Second Marriage; Udaipur Files Producer Blasts Hindu Audience For Film's Failure
Last Updated: Malaika Arora spoke about her marriage plans after divorcing Arbaaz Khan. Udaipur Files producer Amit Jani slammed Hindu audiences after the film's box office failure. Malaika Arora and Arbaaz Khan got married in 1998. Arora was about 25 years old at that time. Four years into their marriage, they welcomed their son Arhaan Khan in 2002. After being married for 18 years, the couple announced their separation in 2016 and finalised their divorce in 2017. While Arbaaz Khan is now remarried to Sshura Khan, is a second marriage on the cards for Malaika as well? In a recent chat with Pinkvilla, Malaika mentioned that she is not closed off to the idea of another marriage. Udaipur Files, starring Vijay Raaz, released in theatres on August 8, 2025, but the film has failed to make an impression at the box office. According to trade portal Sacnilk, the movie has managed to collect only ₹1.54 crore so far, and is being labelled a flop. For more updates: Udaipur Files Producer SLAMS Hindu Audience For Watching Saiyaara, War 2 And Coolie: 'Jihaad Jeet Gaya' Rajesh Khanna was among the first superstars in Bollywood. While much is known about his marriage and separation from Dimple Kapadia in the late 90s, not much is known about his relationship with actress Anita Advani. Anita Advani claims that she married Rajesh Khanna in a secret ceremony and lived with him till his death in 2012. However, since Rajesh and Dimple were only separated and not divorced, the second marriage couldn't have been legal. On India's 79th Independence Day, veteran lyricist Javed Akhtar took to X (formerly Twitter) to extend his wishes. He shared a message, reminding his followers that freedom was earned through immense sacrifices by numerous freedom fighters, not simply given. A troll reacted to Javed Akhtar's message with a disgraceful comment suggesting he should celebrate Independence Day on August 14 instead. For those unaware, India celebrates its Independence Day on August 15, while Pakistan's is on August 14. Javed Akhtar shut down the troll with a powerful reminder that his ancestors laid down their lives fighting for India's freedom. A proud father, Amitabh Bachchan has showcased his pride in his son Abhishek Bachchan, who was feted with the Best Actor for 'I Want To Talk" at THE Indian Film Festival of Melbourne 2025, and said that he is the honour of their family.
