Dhadak 2 box office collection Day 4: Janhvi Kapoor's debut made three times as much as Tripti Dimri-Siddhant Chaturvedi's sequel in the same time frame
Dhadak 2 box office collection Day 4: Despite receiving good reviews from critics, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri's new film, Dhadak 2, is failing to maintain momentum at the box office. After an underwhelming opening on Friday, the film saw a minor increase in collections over the weekend. However, it failed to pass the Monday litmus test, dropping by over 66 percent. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the film minted Rs 3.5 crore on Friday and witnessed a 7% and 10% increase on Saturday and Sunday, respectively — earning Rs 3.75 crore and Rs 4.15 crore. On Monday, the film saw a steep fall of 66%, earning only Rs 1.4 crore. This brings Dhadak 2's total domestic collection to Rs 12.8 crore. On Monday, the film registered a very low 14.26% Hindi occupancy. Major cities like Mumbai, Bengaluru, and the NCR — which also have the maximum number of screens — recorded low occupancy of around 15%. Dhadak 2 was released in theatres alongside Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur's Son of Sardaar 2. Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, the film has managed to perform decently and has earned Rs 27.25 crore within four days of release — more than double the Rs 12.8 crore earned by Dhadak 2 in the same time frame. Co-produced by Karan Johar, Dhadak 2 is the spiritual sequel to the 2018 film Dhadak, which marked the Bollywood debut of Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter. The Siddhant and Triptii-starrer has lagged behind its predecessor. Within four days of its release, Dhadak had managed to mint Rs 39.19 crore — three times the amount Dhadak 2 has earned in the same duration. Mohit Suri's surprise blockbuster Saiyaara, now in its third weekend, is still managing to give stiff competition to new releases. On its third Monday, Saiyaara earned Rs 2.5 crore — higher than Dhadak 2's Monday figure of Rs 1.4 crore. Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap recently took to Instagram to hail the film. He compared it to the cinema created by stalwarts like Raj Kapoor, Guru Dutt, Yash Chopra, and others, calling it 'a punch in the gut.' A part of his post read, 'The film captures the conversation that we avoid on a day to day basis. This is what mainstream cinema was meant to be, and this is what great filmmakers like Raj Kapoor, Bimal Roy, Guru Dutt, K A Abbas, B R Chopra, Yash Chopra and so many used to do. We forgot to make mainstream films of social relevance. They got relegated to independent art house cinema.'

Netflix cancels Arnold Schwarzenegger's Fubar after just 2 seasons; real reason revealed
Screen icon Arnold Schwarzenegger's return to the small screen with the action-comedy series Fubar has fizzled out, it seems. Streaming platform Netflix has cancelled the show after just two seasons. Arnold Schwarzenegger's comedy-action series Fubar has been cancelled after just two seasons. Fubar cancelled by Netflix The Nick Santora show premiered on Netflix in 2023 and generated great viewership numbers in season 1. However, the series apparently did not get the expected momentum during its second season, which premiered on June 12 this year. Its viewership data revealed that the show had a successful start after the premiere, but the numbers fell off soon after. An analysis from What's on Netflix revealed that Fubar's viewership fell off by 76% in season 2. The show had 31 million cumulative views by end of its third week in season 1. In season 2, it dropped to just 7.3 million. The drop was considered surprising given the popularity of season 1 and Arnold Schwarzenegger's global popularity. In addition, cast member Monica Barbaro became an Oscar nominee in between the two seasons, which was further expected to boost the show. However, that did not pan out. All about Fubar Apart from Arnold and Monica, Fubar starred Milan Carter, Fortune Feimster, Travis Van Winkle, Fabiana Udenio, Aparna Brielle, Guy Burnet, Andy Buckley, Carrie-Anne Moss, Jay Baruchel, Barbara Eve Harris and Scott Thompson. The logline of the series reads, 'Luke Brunner is a veteran CIA operative who, up until recently, was on the verge of retirement. After his last mission in saving another operative, who just so happened to be his daughter, he's back and face-to-face with new villains. This one is an old flame from Luke's past who threatens to destroy the she doesn't destroy his life first.' Arnold's next work Arnold will be next seen in the action film King Fury 2. Directed by David Sandberg, the movie is a sequel to King Fury released in 2015. Sandberg will be playing the lead role in the film.
