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.

Shah Rukh Khan wins first National Award: 3 books that chronicle his journey and capture his superstardom
Shah Rukh Khan has won his first National Film Award for Best Actor, three decades after his debut in Hindi cinema and nearly as long since the release of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995), one of Bollywood's most iconic romances. The award, shared with actor Vikrant Massey (12th Fail), was given for Khan's role in Jawan (2023), an action-drama with a social message. His legion fans, at home and abroad, are celebrating the win, with many noting the delay in official recognition despite the actor's longstanding popularity, global fan base, and numerous commercial and critical successes. As the conversation around Khan's career and cultural relevance resurfaces, here are three books that offer a closer look at the actor's life, influence, and legacy. This book uses Shah Rukh Khan not as a subject, but as a symbol of desire, decency, and a rare kind of emotional connection. Economist and writer Shrayana Bhattacharya interviews women from vastly different economic backgrounds over a decade to explore their lives, loves, and limitations in modern India. What connects them all is a shared fandom of SRK, whom they see as a fantasy of kinder masculinity. Rich with data, wit, and emotional insight, the book offers a compelling look at what it means to be a woman in contemporary India, and why Shah Rukh Khan has become such a meaningful escape and ideal. It is as much about the lives of women as it is about the mythology of the man they adore. A 500-page, 4.1 kg coffee-table biography, Still Reading Khan is a visually rich and emotionally layered look into the life of Shah Rukh Khan. It charts his childhood in Delhi to his rise as one of the most recognisable faces in global cinema. Written by close friend and screenwriter Mushtaq Shiekh, the book draws on over a decade of personal access to the actor, combining anecdotes, rare photographs, and dramatic design choices that mirror the highs and lows of Khan's life. Among the more intimate revelations are stories of personal loss: the early deaths of Khan's parents, his struggle with grief, and the obsessive early love story with Gauri Khan, complete with dramatic moments like him searching for her across Mumbai and predicting, 'One day I will rule this city.' While the book is glossy, and has drawn criticism for its hagiographic tone, it remains one of the most detailed portraits of SRK, covering not just the stardom but also the heartbreaks, ambition, and reinvention. In this medley of biography and cultural commentary, film journalist Anupama Chopra charts Shah Rukh Khan's journey from a Delhi boy with a passion for performance to one of the most recognised film stars in the world. While documenting SRK's career, including his early roles, international stardom, and business ventures, it also contextualises his rise within the transformation of Bollywood and post-liberalisation India. Chopra's vivid storytelling and industry insights make this an informative and entertaining read. Even for those unfamiliar with Indian cinema, the book paints a clear picture of why Shah Rukh Khan's stardom transcends borders and generations.

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.
