Box Office: Maalik takes a low start; Rajkummar Rao starrer opens at Rs 3.25 crore
The film has collected Rs 1.80 crore in the top 3 national chains – PVRInox and Cinepolis – which have contributed 55 percent to the total business. The initial reports are not so encouraging, so it would need a miraculous turn of events for Maalik to record a trend of sorts in the long run. Rajkummar Rao films have generally opened in the range of Rs 3.00 crore to Rs 5.00 crore, and Maalik has rightfully fallen in that zone.
With this start, if the content is good, films could go the Srikanth route to emerge a success with a lifetime of Rs 50 crore, and a not-so-good content could wrap the run around the Rs 30 crore mark. The trajectory over the next two days will give an idea of the audiences on-ground reports from the mass belts. The film has seen a wide release with 8000-plus shows, and this leaves a lot of ground open to gain over the weekend.
Maalik also has competition from Superman and holdover releases like Metro In Dino, Jurassic World, and F1, but they all cater to a different section of the cinema-going audience. From this start, the first weekend of Maalik could fall around the Rs 14 crore mark, which is a low result for an action film with higher costs.

This Bollywood actor left Rs 45 crore property for his dogs, each with their own private room, his name is...
The entire nation is in uproar ever since the Supreme Court ordered Delhi and NCR authorities to leash stray dogs and never let them back into spaces, in order to ensure the safety of kids playing outdoors. However, the order did not go well with the people of NCR, and a massive protest unfolded on social media with people demanding a stay on the order. As the topic remains in the headlines, do you know that there is a Bollywood actor who left his Rs 45 crore property for his dogs! Yes, you read that right! Scroll down to read about him. Actor Who Left Rs 45 Crore Property For His Dogs You will be left amazed by the fact that this actor has 116 dogs, and his love for his pets is so much that he decided to leave his whopping Rs 45 crore property for them. Not just that, every dog has its own private room. Yes, this generous actor is none other than Mithun Chakraborty. Mithun Da and His 116 Dogs Clearly, Mithun is a dog person and loves his furry friends to the core. He has built a big farmhouse of 1.5 acres on Mud Island near Mumbai for these dogs. Many servants work here who take care of these dogs. Mithun Chakraborty buys dogs of all breeds from wherever he goes. Not only this, when he goes on holidays, he also takes those dogs with him. Mithun's Dogs Have Their Own Private Room Mithun's dogs live a luxurious life. As per media reports, every dog has been given its own room in the farmhouse. Also, all the facilities for these dogs have been provided. From play areas to medical facilities, these dogs enjoy a lavish life. Where, on one side, the Supreme Court order — which has now been commented on — regarding stray dogs comes as a shocker to people in the NCR, Mithun stands as a tall inspiration to many for his utter love and care for dogs.

Coolie Movie Review Live Updates: Early reactions call Aamir Khan cameo underwhelming in Rajinikanth-starrer; Day 1 collections hit ₹11.63 Cr by 9 AM
Coolie, starring Rajinikanth, is proving to be India's hottest talking film right now. Not only has the film been reporting impressive numbers at the box office, it has been also minting new records, even though its collections are still under the wraps. According to the industry tracker Sacnilk, by Wednesday evening Coolie box office collection was Rs 41 crore worth of tickets in India on its opening day. This has heightened the anticipation among fans. There are no spoilers from the makers just yet. The trailer was released last week to a mixed response. But that hasn't dampened the film's buzz. The fans are excited to see what Lokesh did for Rajinikanth after his critically and financially successful Vikram, with Kamal Haasan. Rajinikanth's forthcoming 'A' certified Rajinikanth Coolie is said to be a part of Lokesh's Cinematic Universe. However the filmmakers have denied it. The speculation is still generating a lot of buzz, particularly because Lokesh's previous films Kaithi, Master Vikram and Leo are connected through characters such as Suriya's 'Rolex' and Karthi's 'Dilli'. Although nothing has been confirmed, fans continue to hope that an Aamir Khan cameo will be made. A grand press conference was held in Tamil Nadu with all the stars in attendance. Producer and film industry veteran Girish Johar believes exhibitors will be the gainer. 'So much is riding on these two. Cinema halls are going to be firing on all cylinders. There's room for two or three movies during a major festival window,' he added. It was the first time in Aamir's career that a character he'd noway read the script of or known anything about, urged him to accept the part.

War 2 Review LIVE: Analyst Calls Hrithik Roshan's Latest Spy Thriller a Disappointment
Although dance numbers and the climax in the film are well-received, many have described the film's story as 'predictable.' War 2 by Ayan Mukerji will be released in theatres today. After a long wait, the highly anticipated Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR starrer opened today. Hrithik Roshan War 2, which is releasing in cinemas, has a direct competitor in Rajinikanth's Coolie. While the former has Rs 20.57 crore pre-booking mints, the latter has Rs 37.2 crore advance bookings in Day 1 collections. War 2 audience reaction, however, have also come as a mixed bag. While some are calling it the biggest actioner ever made, others are labelling it 'under-whelming' and 'predictable.' Fans were out in the streets to welcome the release of War 2, which happens to be Jr NTR's debut in a Hindi film. Bollywood action movie review and Release LIVE Updates: Follow Here War 2 is the sixth entry into YRF's Spy Universe. The film is a sequel to Siddharth Anand's War (2019), which was a massive worldwide box office success with a collection of Rs 471 crore and a record opening day collection of Rs 53.35 crore at the time. War 2 now has not only fan expectations but also from the studio which produced it. The film's plot is being kept tight- lipped. Director Ayan Mukerji, during the film's grandpre-release event in Hyderabad, stated that it was a conscious creative decision to keep the story under wraps. He added that there has been a conscious trouble to keep the story under wraps in the teaser and trailer. Stars Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR joined them at the event where they had an emotional time with each other and the audience. The actor shared a note of thanks stating, '75 days of work together, it has been a wonderful learning experience for me and I really can't wait to share screen space with you again.' He then thanked his co-star for the warmth, friendship, and for making him feel a part of family, 'thank you sir @Rajamouli for bringing South and North closer together' he added.
