Pink Villa2 days ago
The Kannada origin animated film, Mahavatar Narsimha is continuing with its glorious run at the box office in Hindi, as the 5 day total of this Hombale Films production stands at a staggering amount of Rs 17.15 crore. After opening at Rs 1.25 crore on Friday, it has been an upward journey for this mytho-saga, as it scored Rs 3.00 crore on Saturday, followed by Rs 5.50 crore on Sunday.
Interestingly, the film scored a Monday bigger than Saturday due to an increase in showcasing, with collections of Rs 3.20 crore. Due to strong word of mouth, and push from religious groups, the film has seen another spike in business on Tuesday. Benefitting from the discounted Tuesday offer, Mahavatar Narsimha has seen a 30 percent surge in collections to score Rs 4.20 crore on its fifth day of run.
With this, the movie is now looking at a first week in the vicinity of Rs 22 crore, and strong trend is expected in the second week too, as the word around the film has started to gain momentum now. Targeted marketing, strong content and controlled pricing are the three key reasons for the success of Mahavatar Narsimha. The film is the first animated hit of Hindi Cinema since Hanuman (2005), and the magnitude of success here is a lot more than the 2005 success.
Hombale Films are looking to make a universe out of the Mahavatar world, and Narsimha sets things up well for the second and third instalment, which are expected to hit the marque in 2027 and 2028 respectively.

Director Admits: Language Gap Crushed 'Sikandar' at the Box Office

Film director A.R. Murugadoss has broken his silence on the box-office misfire of 'Sikandar' starring Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna. Murugadoss candidly admitted he felt 'handicapped' on set due to lack of fluency in Hindi. He argued that making films in his native Tamil gives him creative strength and cultural connection, which he could not replicate in Hindi. Instead, scripts were translated—first into English, then into Hindi—causing disconnect with the youthful audience he was targeting. Though he previously delivered hits in Hindi, Murugadoss now underscores the emotional and linguistic hurdles that he believes undercut film's potential. Read More

This film, had two heroines, neither were first choice, became blockbuster, made on budget of Rs 35 crore, earned Rs 120 crore, movie is...

In 2009, a romantic drama emerged that would redefine contemporary love stories in Bollywood. This film, directed by master of storytelling, Imtiaz Ali, featured a narrative that oscillated between two eras, exploring complexities of modern relationships mix-matched with traditional romance. Despite its eventual success, the casting process was fraught with unexpected changes, leading to a lineup that wasn't initially envisioned. Which film is this? The film we are talking about is cult classic, Love Aaj Kal, starring Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone. Interestingly, Deepika wasn't the first choice for the role of Meera Pandit. Imtiaz Ali had initially approached Kareena Kapoor for the part, but she declined due to scheduling conflicts. Did Saif Ali Khan wanted Kareena Kapoor to play role of Meera? Saif had a desire for Kareena Kapoor Khan to star alongside him, yet Imtiaz preferred Deepika, and ultimately, they proceeded with Imtiaz's selection. In a throwback interview, Saif stated, 'I believe she (Kareena) was very eager to collaborate with Imtiaz Ali once more, and I think he assured her that she would be in his upcoming film.' How Giselli Monteiro entered Love Aaj Kal? Similarly, the role of Harleen Kaur was originally intended for actress Sushmita Sen, but after extensive auditions, Brazilian model Giselli Monteiro was cast. Giselli had come to Mumbai in 2008 and auditioned for the role of Jo, Jai's girlfriend in the second half of the film. However, on the suggestion of Imtiaz Ali's ex-wife, Preety Ali that she should be cast as Harleen, especially since he had not been able to find a suitable actress for that role despite auditioning girls from all over India. What was the storyline? Love Aaj Kal weaves two parallel love stories: one set in the present day, featuring Jai (Saif Ali Khan) and Meera (Deepika Padukone), and another from the past, showcasing the romance between Veer Singh (also Saif Ali Khan) and Harleen Kaur (Giselli Monteiro). The film delves into the evolving nature of love, commitment, and the choices individuals make in pursuit of happiness. The supporting cast includes Rishi Kapoor as the older Veer Singh, Neetu Singh in a special appearance as the older Harleen and Rahul Khanna as Vikram Joshi who essayed the role of Meera's husband in the film. How was the box office reception? Love Aaj Kal was made on budget of Rs 35 crore and was released on 31 July 2009, that turned out to be commercial success. It grossed approximately Rs 120 crore worldwide, making it one of the highest-grossing Hindi films of the year.

Saiyaara Box Office Collection Day 14: Ahaan Panday-Aneet Padda film's earnings drop on Thursday, mints THIS amount

Saiyaara Box Office Collection Day 14: Mohit Suri's latest romantic film, starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, is setting box office records and remains a strong performer after 13 days of release. The film has earned nearly ₹ 274 crore in the last 13 days. Saiyaara earned an estimated ₹ 2.56 crore India net on Thursday, July 31 at the box office, according to trade industry tracker Sacnilk, marking a significant decline since Wednesday. The Ahaan Pandey starrer film opened to ₹ 21.5 crore. On Wednesday, Day 13, the film earned ₹ 7.5 crore. The total collection of Saiyaara now stands at ₹ 276.5 crore, according to Sacnilk data. Speaking on the Saiyaara box office collection, film trade analyst Taran Adarsh wrote on X, 'continues its dream run… The film has crossed the ₹ 💯 cr mark in *Week 2* [Friday to Wednesday], reflecting its strong hold at the box-office. It is now eyeing a ₹ 285 cr [+/-] total by the end of Week 2.' In another post on X, Adarsh noted, '#Saiyaara continues its strong run on Tuesday, hitting double digits yet again… The discounted ticket pricing initiative has certainly helped drive footfalls.' However, the film's collection has been impacted by Ashwin Kumar's mythological animated film, Mahavatar Narsimha that released on July 25, 2025. Saiyaara is a romantic musical drama film directed by Mohit Suri. Produced by Yash Raj Films, it stars debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda along with Geeta Agarwal, Rajesh Kumar, and Varun Badola. The film is loosely inspired by the 2004 Korean movie A Moment To Remember. IMDb describes plot of Saiyaara as, 'Vaani (Aneet Padda) and Krish (Ahaan Pandey) will have to navigate life, their problems, their insecurities to hopefully realise that only love can be the answer to everything.'
