Box Office: Dhadak 2 opens at Rs 3.75 crore; Siddhant Chaturvedi & Triptii Dimri starrer aims at Saturday growth
The Day Wise India Net Collections Of Dhadak 2 Are As Under
Dhadak 2 Targets A Rs 16 Crore Net Opening Weekend In India
Being a film that targets the multiplexes, Dhadak 2 is bound to grow over the weekend. The percentage of growth will determine the film's acceptance. Early trends suggest a Rs 14.50 crore net weekend. If the film holds up over the weekdays, it has a fair chance to end up with around Rs 30 crore net in its full run. If the target audience does not turn up to the theatres and instead prefers waiting for the movie to drop on digital, it won't be surprising if the gritty drama, ends up with a lifetime net of around Rs 25 crore net.
Dhadak 2's Actual Competition Is Holdover Releases Saiyaara And Mahavatar Narsimha
While Son Of Sardaar 2 is Dhadak 2's release rival, the actual competition that the movie is facing is from Saiyaara and Mahavatar Narsimha. Both the holdover releases are still getting audiences. It won't be surprising if the latter two films end up as the top two picks of this weekend.
Clearly, the audiences are visiting theatres every weekend, for the film they think they will like. Coolie and War 2 are expected to keep this momentum going, and then there of course is Param Sundari towards the end of August.

This film changed Sanjay Dutt's life, was made for Rs 5 crore, it earned Rs..., Anil Kapoor even begged for a role, the movie is...'
Sanjay Dutt has been one of the finest actors in Bollywood. For the last 4 decades, the actor has been a part of the industry. Though Sanjay was born into a family of actors, with his father and mother — Sunil Dutt and Nargis Dutt — being the top names in Bollywood, Sanjay carved his own path. Dutt made his debut with the film Rocky in 1981, but his breakthrough came with Naam in 1986. Today, we will discuss a film that turned out to be a game-changer. Sanjay Dutt's Film That Changed His Career This movie, which is in discussion, was made for Rs 5 crore and went on to earn Rs 21 crore in 1993. If you are wondering which movie we are talking about, then it is none other than Khalnayak. When Sanjay Dutt Became a Star Due to This Film In 1993, Khalnayak changed the direction of Sanjay Dutt's career. The actor played a grey-shaded character, and for some reason, the audience really liked the role — it turned out to be a game-changer for Sanjay. Apart from Dutt, the movie also starred Jackie Shroff and Madhuri Dixit. Anil Kapoor Begged for This Role? Interestingly, Anil Kapoor was also in the queue for this iconic role. During an interview, Khalnayak's director Subhash Ghai revealed that Anil Kapoor had expressed his desire to play the villain several times. Anil Kapoor was even ready to go bald for this role, but he felt that Sanjay was perfect for it — and indeed, the performance given by Sanju Baba is memorable even today.

Janeita Singh wins 'Oxford Bookstore Art Book Prize' 2025 for 'F.N. Souza: The Archetypal Artist'
New Delhi: Academician and art critic Janeita Singh has won the third edition of the Oxford Bookstore Art Book Prize for "F.N. Souza: The Archetypal Artist", published by Niyogi Books. The winner, chosen out of the five shortlisted titles, was presented with a trophy, certificate and cash prize of Rs 1 lakh. The ceremony was hosted at the Embassy of Norway on Wednesday. "To be loved is to be seen and known. The critical study on Souza's life and art was a dance with provocation, heresy, and beauty. Now that 'F.N. Souza: The Archetypal Artist' lounges on hallowed shelves -- how delicious, then, to be crowned by the Oxford Bookstore Art Book Prize in the homeland. That the book resonates with readers and institutions alike is a reward beyond the prize." Singh said on winning the award. The jury, led by art critic and chairperson Alka Pande, included May-Elin Stener, Ambassador of Norway to India, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, and the Maldives; Priti Paul, director of Apeejay Surrendra Group; Apurva Kackar, director of institutional affairs and outreach at the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art (KNMA); and Swagat Sengupta, CEO of Apeejay Oxford Bookstores. "As art increasingly becomes a collectible, the need to document it thoughtfully through high-quality production is more essential than ever. The prize plays a vital role in encouraging artists, galleries, cultural institutions, and publishers to publish more art books. These publications serve as important records that preserve and disseminate artistic and cultural ideas', said Pande while announcing the winner. Alongside the winning title, the jury also commended two more books of the shortlisted titles: "Raza, the other modern" by Gayatri Sinha, Yashodhara Dalmia and Geeti Sen, and published by Mapin Publishing and The Raza Foundation, and Progressive Art Gallery's "A Thousand Shadows", authored and published by Navin Sakhuja.

Saiyaara PR team went overboard with theatre clips, says Varun Badola: 'Chudiyaan tod rahe hain, chhaati peet rahe hain'
The romantic drama, Saiyaara, has broken several box office records and made Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda overnight sensations. In a recent interview with Screen, actor Varun Badola called out the film's PR team for going overboard in creating a euphoria around the film on social media. Varun Badola calls out Saiyaara's PR team of going over the board. Varun explained how, while working on the film, no one thought it would get so big. However, when the film broke records at the box office on the third day, it was then that everyone realised it had become that big. He further revealed that he hadn't watched Saiyaara yet. Varun Badola says Saiyaara's PR team went overboard Varun called out the promotional team of the film for going over the board and said, 'By the third or fourth day, the film was being talked about. I saw the euphoria on Instagram. Log jo chudiyaan tod rahe hain, chhaatiyaan peet rahe hai (People were breaking their bangles, beating their chest). I think the promotions team went a little overboard there, where people are going to see the film, putting IV drips.' He added, "Those people must have been told to give content in some way; thank god, people didn't get their legs broken and went crawling to see the film. It's okay. We understand promoting the film, but it's good only up to a certain level. However, the film cannot earn so much money just based on Instagram promotions. People have gone and seen the film, and they have loved it." What Mohit Suri said on 'paid theatre videos' Varun essayed the role of Ahaan's father in the film. After the first weekend, videos of viewers crying their eyes out, shouting, and fainting in theatres during the film's screening surfaced on the internet, and many accused it of being paid PR. However, speaking to Zoom, Mohit Suri clarified that the reactions were authentic and organic and said, 'We have tried to be honest all through this film. People think the viral theatre videos were created, but we have not done that." About Saiyaara Helmed by Mohit Suri, Saiyaara tells the story of a struggling and troubled musician, Krissh Kapoor, who meets an aspiring journalist and a poet, Vaani Batra (played by Aneet Padda). He finds poems in her diary and turns those words into songs. As they work on songs together, with Vaani writing lyrics for him, they fall in love with each other. However, fate puts their relationship to the test and separates them. The rest of the tale shows whether they unite at the end or not. Backed by Aditya Chopra's YRF, the film marked Ahaan Panday's Bollywood debut and made both Ahaan and Aneet overnight sensations. The film, which also stars Rajesh Kumar, Geeta Aggarwal (Vaani's parents), Alam Khan (Krissh's friend) and Shann Groverr (Vaani's ex-fiancé), has grossed ₹304 crore at the Indian box office and over ₹500 crore worldwide — thus emerging as the biggest romantic drama ever in Indian cinema and the second-highest-grossing Indian film of 2025 after Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava ( ₹807.91 crore worldwide).
