Tanvi The Great box office Day 1: Slow start for Anupam Kher film, earns Rs 40 lakh

India Today2 days ago
Marking his return to direction after over two decades, Anupam Kher's 'Tanvi The Great' hit theatres on Friday but saw a lukewarm response at the box office. The film, which tackles themes of autism and the Indian Army, managed to collect just Rs 40 lakh on its opening day, according to Sacnilk.With a reported 14.41 per cent occupancy in Hindi-speaking regions, the opening was subdued despite its ambitious premise and veteran ensemble cast, which includes Pallavi Joshi, Boman Irani, Jackie Shroff, and Kher himself.advertisementThough the domestic reception has been muted, 'Tanvi The Great' was previously met with critical appreciation during its international festival circuit, having screened at Cannes and the New York Indian Film Festival. Speaking about the film, Kher shared, 'Everyone who watches Tanvi The Great will walk away a little kinder, perhaps even changed.'
Watch the trailer here: The film's emotional core - rooted in its depiction of a neurodivergent protagonist and her journey through adversity - has drawn praise for its intent and performances. However, reviews have also highlighted its shortcomings. India Today noted that while the film begins with 'a spark of promise,' it ultimately falters due to 'stereotypical portrayals' and an overreliance on emotional spectacle. The critique suggests that in its effort to present Tanvi as 'special', the narrative overlooks the quiet resilience found in her flaws, struggles, and smaller triumphs.Produced by Anupam Kher Studios in association with NFDC, the film also stars Arvind Swami and features a soundtrack by Oscar-winning composer MM Keeravani, lending musical gravitas to the narrative. Global distribution is handled by Excel Entertainment and AA Films, with industry heavyweights Ritesh Sidhwani, Farhan Akhtar, and Anil Thadani backing the release.- EndsTrending Reel

Deepak Tijori: 'I narrated Baazigar to Abbas-Mustan but they made it with Shah Rukh Khan, I asked them...'

Deepak said that the directors apologised to him, saying 'please forgive us, we made a mistake.' read more Abbas-Mustan's 1993 blockbuster Baazigar made Shah Rukh Khan an overnight star, but it was Deepak Tijori who was earlier supposed to do it. He made some revelations in an interview with India Today. The actor said, 'I'm a living example of that. Abbas-Mustan were the ones who were supposed to direct it. I had actually narrated the film to them, but they deferred and went to Shah Rukh. Shah (SRK) and I were friends. There was a VHS cassette of A Kiss Before Dying at his place. I asked him about it, and he said, 'Your director came to me, left this tape, and told me not to say yes until you say no.' So he waited on me.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Deepak said that the directors apologised to him, saying 'please forgive us, we made a mistake. We'll compensate you someday', but Deepak told them that it was 'forgotten'. Shilpa Shetty has crafted an illustrious career in Bollywood, and she has delivered several iconic films throughout her journey. Among many, one of her classic films is 'Baazigar'. In recent times, the film's climax scene - featuring Shah Rukh Khan pushing Shilpa Shetty from a building - has received a lot of attention among the youth on social media. Recently, the actress graced a renowned film festival, and spilled the deets about shooting the climax of 'Baazigar'. 'I had no knowledge about films at that time, and I didn't know how to approach it. I was like a student on set. I used to be very nervous back then. Because I came from a South Indian background, I never spoke in Hindi on the sets. When I did 'Aag', I asked Kader Bhai to teach me Urdu, and that's when I learned from scratch. I used to feel very nervous about dialogue deliveries. But all of it is okay because I am able to convey. People understand what I am trying to say,' she shared.

Saiyaara Box Office Collection Day 3: Ahaan Panday beats Aamir Khan, Sunny Deol, breaks 30 records in...

Ahaan Panday and Aneeta Padda are making waves as their film has made a thunderous entry into Bollywood. Their debut film, Saiyaara, a romantic-emotional drama, was released on 18 July, and within just three days, it has shattered multiple records. Directed by Mohit Suri, the film is winning over both hearts and headlines. Saiyaara has already collected over Rs 87 crore at the Indian box office, well beyond anyone's expectations and not only fans but Bollywood actors are also gushing over the film and the actors. Here's how much Saiyaara has earned so far Day 1 (Friday): Rs 21 crore Day 2 (Saturday): Rs 25 crore Day 3 (Sunday until 10 pm): Rs 37 crore Total Opening Weekend: Rs 87 crore The film crossed the Rs 50 crore mark in just three days and is now being hailed as one of 2025's biggest surprise successes. 30 Bollywood films beaten by Saiyaara in the opening weekend collection In its opening weekend alone, Saiyaara outperformed the opening collections of 30 Bollywood releases, including some heavy-hitters like: Nikita Roy – Rs 0.46 crore Malik – Rs 15.02 crore Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyaan – Rs 1.26 crore Superman – Rs 26.61 crore Metro In Dino – Rs 18.65 crore Jurassic World Rebirth – Rs 40.03 crore F1 – Rs 20.57 crore Maa – Rs 18.43 crore Sitare Zameen Par – Rs 57.30 crore Bhool Chook Maaf – Rs 28.71 crore Kesari Veer – Rs 0.88 crore Kampkapi – Rs 0.92 crore Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning – Rs 35.50 crore The Bhootni (4 days) – Rs 4.72 crore Phule – Rs 1.05 crore Ground Zero – Rs 5.20 crore Kesari Chapter 2 – Rs 29.62 crore Jaat (4 days) – Rs 40.62 crore The Diplomat – Rs 13.45 crore Crazy – Rs 4.25 crore Superboys of Malegaon – Rs 1.82 crore Mere Husband Ki Biwi – Rs 5.28 crore Sanam Teri Kasam (Re-release) – Rs 16 crore Badass Ravi Kumar – Rs 9.72 crore Lavyapa – Rs 4.75 crore Deva – Rs 19.43 crore Emergency – Rs 12.26 crore Azaad – Rs 4.75 crore Fateh – Rs 10.71 crore Game Changer (Hindi) – Rs 26.59 crore It even surpassed the weekend figures of Akshay Kumar, Aamir Khan, and Sunny Deol's latest outings. Hit or just hyped? The film's budget is Rs 60 crore, and in just three days, it's recovered that entirely. But is it a hit yet? Well, not quite. In industry terms, a film is declared a 'hit' only when it earns double its budget. That means Saiyaara needs to touch Rs 120 crore to be officially in the hit club. However, looking at the momentum, it may not be far off. From debutante to box office phenomenon, Ahaan Panday's Saiyaara is riding high. With glowing reviews and mass appeal, all eyes are now on how far it'll go in Week 2.

Well, we have seen several films with big budgets failing at the Box Office, but what if a failed launch turns into India's proudest moment in space history? An inspiring story that had to be told, and Mission Mangal did just that. The film, which is 2 hours and 10 minutes long, has left a mark on viewers with its emotional depth, scientific precision, and real-life inspiration. Fans went all crazy over it for all the right reasons. What makes Mission Mangal special? The film not only tells us the Mars Orbiter Mission, but also the lives and grit of the scientists behind it. It shows what happens when a mission crashes, emotionally and professionally, and how a determined team rewrites its fate. It's not just about rockets; it's about resilience. Mission Mangal: Star cast The Jagan Shakti's directorial is led by Akshay Kumar as Rakesh Dhawan (inspired by ISRO scientist Mylswamy Annadurai), alongside Vidya Balan, Taapsee Pannu, Sonakshi Sinha, Kirti Kulhari, and Sharman Joshi. Mission Mangal: Box Office Collection With just a budget of Rs 40 crore, Mission Mangal rocketed to a global box office collection of Rs 90.59 crore. It not only emerged as one of the biggest hits of the year, but even outperformed Akshay's mega sci-fi venture 2.0 , quite the mission accomplished. Why are people still talking about it? Because Mission Mangal isn't just a film, it's a reminder of what ambition, teamwork, and belief can achieve. It celebrates the quiet heroes behind India's space dreams, especially the women scientists who finally got their screen space.
