After a string of underwhelming films at the box office, Dileep appears to be regaining his footing with the comedy entertainer 'Prince and Family'. The film has managed to collect Rs 8 crore worldwide within six days of its theatrical run, hinting at a modest comeback for the actor.
Day-wise earnings cross Rs 7 cr in India
According to data from the Sacnilk website, 'Prince and Family' has earned Rs 7.09 crore India net, while the gross collection in India also stands at Rs 8 crore, with no overseas earnings reported yet. The Malayalam film saw a gradual increase in collections over its first few days:
Day 1 (Friday): Rs 90 lakhs
Day 2 (Saturday): Rs 1.05 Cr
Day 3 (Sunday): Rs 1.72 Cr
Day 4 (Monday): Rs 1.25 Cr
Day 5 (Tuesday): Rs 1.15 Cr
Day 6 (Wednesday): Rs 1.02 Cr
Despite a slow start, the consistent weekday numbers suggest decent word-of-mouth and family audience support.

Prince And Family - Official Trailer
Debut director delivers a lighthearted family drama
'Prince and Family' is directed by debutant Binto Stephen and written by Sharis Mohammed. The film features Dileep alongside Raniya Raanaa, Dhyan Sreenivasan, Siddique, Bindu Panicker, Johny Antony, Manju Pillai, and Josekutty Jacob. The story follows a mix of family chaos and comedy, set in a feel-good narrative aimed at the festive audience.
Can the film hold through the week?
With no major Malayalam releases clashing this week, 'Prince and Family' has the potential to maintain its run and inch toward a break-even point. While the film hasn't broken records, it has certainly brought a smile back to Dileep's fan base.
We gave the film a rating of 3 stars out of 5, and ETimes' official review reads, 'The most standout thing about Dileep is Sameera Saneesh's costumes. Otherwise, he plays that typical good guy, responsible husband, caught in 'humorous' situations. Also, the actor is a less energetic version of his old self. And, there is the mandatory allusion to his real-life situation, where Johny Antony's character, who plays Prince's friend, says something about how everyone will believe what they hear on social media.'

Netizens REACT to Dulquer Salmaan's exit from Kamal Haasan's Thug Life, call it ‘greatest' decision

Kamal Haasan and Silambarasan TR starrer Thug Life hit the big screens on June 5, 2025. As the Mani Ratnam directorial has been received with mixed-to-negative reviews, netizens have complimented Dulquer Salmaan's exit from the film. Taking to the internet, many users complimented the actor's departure from the project with one saying, 'Turning down the role in Thug Life was one of the GREATEST decisions Dulquer Salmaan ever made!' Another user said, 'After the trailer everyone trolled him from his decision now after watching the movie everyone is celebrating his decision.' Moreover, one netizen lauded the actor for his script selection over the years and said, 'Dulquer Salmaan, The Man of intellectual and fortunate. Great escape from #ThugLife. Thank you Bro.' For those unaware, Thug Life had previously announced that Dulquer Salmaan will portray a key role as one of the core cast members. The makers officially announced his inclusion along with actors like Ravi Mohan and Gautham Karthik. However, all three of them later opted out of the project due to the production delays. While it is not confirmed which role DQ was supposed to play, it is believed that he was later replaced by Silambarasan TR. Talking about the movie, Thug Life is a gangster actioner featuring the tale of Rangaraaya Sakthivel. A feared mafia kingpin, he once engages in a shootout with his rival, which causes an innocent man to lose his life. As Sakthivel adopts the late person's son, Amaran, he raises him as his own and makes him a mafia member. After several conflicts, the once beloved foster son turns into his biggest enemy, prompting a showdown that would lead to their deaths. With Haasan and STR in lead roles, the film has Trisha Krishnan, Abhirami, Nassar, Joju George, Ashok Selvan, and many more in key roles. On the other hand, Dulquer Salmaan is currently involved in the shoot of his next Malayalam movie, I'm Game. With Aakasam Lo Oka Tara and Kaantha in his lineup, the actor is expected to make a cameo appearance in Kalyani Priyadarshan and Naslen starrer, produced by DQ himself.

Housefull 5 Day 1 Box Office: Akshay Kumar Film Is Franchise's Biggest Opener At Rs 22 Cr

Last Updated: Housefull 5 Day 1 Box Office: Housefull 5 opens to a massive Rs 22 crore, beating all previous installments to become the franchise's top Day 1 grosser. Housefull 5 Day 1 Box Office Collection: Akshay Kumar's return to comedy with Housefull 5 has turned out to be a major box office success. Released with an intriguing double climax – Housefull 5A and Housefull 5B – the film opened to strong numbers, collecting Rs 22 crore on its first day in India, as per early estimates by (as of 9 PM Friday). With this, Housefull 5 has emerged as the highest opening film in the franchise. The fifth installment surpassed all its predecessors, including Housefull 4 (Rs 19.08 crore), Housefull 3 (Rs 15.25 crore), Housefull 2 (Rs 12.1 crore) and the original Housefull (Rs 9.3 crore). The film registered an overall Hindi occupancy of 23.29% on Friday, indicating solid footfalls for a comedy entertainer. Produced under Sajid Nadiadwala's Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment banner, Housefull 5 features an ensemble cast including Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Fardeen Khan, Nana Patekar, Jackie Shroff, Ranjeet, Johny Lever, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Chunky Panday, Dino Morea, Sonam Bajwa, and Soundarya Sharma. Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, the film revolves around a whodunit set on a cruise ship. The story follows the murder of a billionaire (played by Ranjeet), who is killed shortly after declaring that his fortune will go to his heir, Jolly. The catch? There are three Jollys aboard — played by Akshay, Riteish, and Abhishek – and all of them, along with their girlfriends, become suspects in the crime. Despite its strong opening, the film has received mixed reviews. News18 wrote, 'It will be an understatement to say that overacting is the norm throughout the film… Overall, it is just a one-time watch for those who want to go to the theatres just to relax and unwind." Nonetheless, the curiosity around its dual-ending format and Akshay's comic timing has piqued audience interest. Whether it maintains momentum over the weekend remains to be seen, but Housefull 5 has certainly begun on a promising note. First Published:

When Raj Kapoor predicted that Dilip Kumar would pursue acting: ‘You should go into films, we both will go into films'

The camaraderie between actors Dilip Kumar and Raj Kapoor dates back to their early years, long before they became titans of Indian cinema. Not only did the two work in the same industry and support each other throughout their careers, but their connection began in childhood, rooted in a shared heritage and deep mutual respect. In an old interview with Lehren Retro, Dilip reminisced about their childhood in Peshawar and how Raj Kapoor was instrumental in encouraging him to pursue acting. In the interview, Dilip Kumar said, 'We come from the same town. I was born in Peshawar, he was born in Peshawar. Our families knew each other. And he was the one who always used to say, when we used to play the game of soccer, he was good goalkeeper and a very good referee, particularly when we used to play against British army teams he used to assert himself… all as a little boy. So he used to tell me you go into films, we both will go into films. But I said no, because that was not the thing in those times you would aspire to do. So I used tell him that you go, your father also does the same, so you should follow his footsteps.' Also Read | Dilip Kumar, Raj Kapoor asked Jawaharlal Nehru about his relationship with Lady Mountbatten; he 'blushed' and said, 'I love all these stories about me' Years later, when Dilip Kumar visited a film set for the first time, it was Raj Kapoor who recognized him immediately, reaffirming a moment he had seemingly foreseen. Recalling that meeting in the same interview, Dilip said, 'He said I told you you will be here,' describing Raj's reaction with evident fondness. Reflecting further on their bond, the actor added, 'We had a lovely relationship.' Despite being close, it may come as a surprise to many that the two legends only acted together in one film: Andaz. Released in 1949, the movie was both a critical and commercial success, becoming a milestone in Hindi cinema.
