Inside Box Office

Akshay Kumar has been on a streak of box office underperformers, and his latest film Bhooth Bangla has been expected to be the superstar’s comeback to delivering successes due to his reunion with director Priyadarshan. In the past, the two have delivered countless comedy classics in the form of Hera Pheri, Garam Masala, Bhagam Bhag, De Dana Dan, Bhool Bhulaiyaa, etc. While there were huge expectations from the movie, the Bhooth Bangla horror-comedy film review defines the film as an average experience and not deserving of so many expectations.

The Pre-Release Hype of Bhooth Bangla

Before Bhooth Bangla and its promotional assets were revealed, the film carried a good hype. This hype for the movie was dented by the film’s teaser and, further, by the trailer, as revealed in the Bhooth Bangla trailer review critics across India and the audience. Additionally, its songs, composed by Pritam, did not gain any considerable appreciation either.

The few factors that sustained the hype for this horror-comedy included the reunion of Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan. Another factor was the presence of signature cast members from Priyadarshan’s old cult classics, such as Rajpal Yadav, Paresh Rawal, the late Asrani, and Manoj Joshi, in the Bhooth Bangla cast.

How is the Bhooth Bangla Box Office Collection?

Bhooth Bangla performed well during advance booking, selling 40,000 tickets for its paid previews and 40,000 for Day 1 across Indian national chains (PVR INOX and Cinepolis), bringing its opening-day ticket sales to 80,000. Additionally, it had sold over 2,50,000 solely at PVR INOX screens across India.

The opening-day collection (Paid Previews and Day 1 combined) of Bhooth Bangla was strong. In the paid previews that started from 9 PM onwards on April 16, this Akshay Kumar film collected Rs 3.25 crore nett, while on Day 1, the movie collected Rs 11.50 crore nett at the Indian box office. 

This shows a good start for the Bhooth Bangla day wise collection. Whether the film can continue this momentum or not will be decided by the public's word-of-mouth for the movie.

Imtiaz Ali’s last directorial, Amar Singh Chamkila, was a musical biopic starring Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra, released on Netflix and garnering huge critical acclaim, just like many of his past movies, such as Rockstar, Tamasha, Love Aaj Kal, and Jab We Met. After Chamkila, Imtiaz Ali next film 2026, shows the director reuniting with Diljit Dosanjh for a period romantic drama set in the partition era.

Imtiaz Ali Next Film Release Date

The Imtiaz Ali next film release date is June 12, 2026, as announced by the makers. This is also an official postponement of this movie, as this untitled romantic drama was earlier expected to release theatrically in April 2026.

Imtiaz Ali’s New Film With Diljit Dosanjh Cast and Crew

Imtiaz Ali’s new film with Diljit Dosanjh boasts an amazing cast that has never featured in any of his directorial projects, aside from Diljit. The cast of this Imtiaz Ali movie includes Diljit Dosanjh, Vedang Raina, Naseeruddin Shah, and Sharvari in the lead roles. Additionally, it is produced by Applause Entertainment, Window Seat Films, and Mohit Choudhary.

This romantic drama would also mark the director’s reunion with music composer A.R. Rahman and lyricist Irshad Kamil, giving the audience another chance to witness the work of the celebrated trio, which has given chartbuster music albums like Rockstar, Tamasha, and Amar Singh Chamkila.

Diljit Dosanjh Upcoming Film

As for Diljit Dosanjh upcoming film, there are currently three movies standing in the pipeline for the actor after his last war drama, Border 2. These three movies consist of the Imtiaz Ali directorial and a Punjabi rom-com drama titled Ranna Ch Dhanna.

We already know the new film release date of the Imtiaz Ali directorial and the cast. However, the release date of the Ranna Ch Dhanna, one of Diljit Dosanjh new films, is not known yet. The film was officially announced with a poster release and release date confirmation of October 2, 2024, but has not been released to date.

The film is supposed to star Sonam Bajwa and Shehnaz Gill alongside Diljit Dosanjh and is directed by Amarjit Saron.

Besides these two, one of Diljit Dosanjh’s upcoming movies is Panjab’ 95, the biopic of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra, directed by Honey Trehan and co-starring Arjun Rampal. The release date of the film is unknown, as it is ready for release but has not received CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification) clearance, which has put the film in a major controversy. 

Several posters with Diljit Dosanjh’s look from the film were officially released, and it was submitted for certification to CBFC in December 2022, after which the body suggested 127 cuts in the movie. A teaser of the film was also released in January 2025.

Sunny Deol’s Border 2 (2026) Official Teaser and Hype: What to Expect

Sunny Deol has a good number of movies lined up in his filmography, all of them currently in different stages of production. Among the many of them, his next film is Border 2, the sequel to his own cult classic war drama, Border. Like the prequel, it is a multistarrer featuring a great number of male as well as female leads and will most probably be driven by Sunny Deol’s screen presence and dialogue delivery. Read our Border 2 teaser review and also what to expect from the movie.

Border 2 Teaser Review

The first glimpse of the world of Sunny Deol’s Border 2 has been way lower than expectations, even though the film was already expected to be a forced sequel made to cash in on Deol’s rise after Gadar 2. Besides Sunny Deol himself and the BGM, there seems to be nothing that could benefit the movie. Ahan Shetty looks very poor, Varun Dhawan is average, while Diljit Dosanjh is expected to perform well enough. However, none of them can match Sunny Deol’s presence for sure.

Additionally, the film seems mostly shot in studios, which is highlighted by its poor CGI. However, none of these aspects of the Border 2 teaser out can repel its target audience that would get attracted just by the franchise value and Sunny Deol’s name.

About Border 2 (2026) Upcoming Movie

Sunny Deol’s Border 2 is set to release in theaters worldwide on 23 January 2026, giving the Indian audience a chance to enjoy it in theaters on the coming Republic Day rather than its prequel on television.

Among the Border 2 upcoming (film) songs, the album will feature remixes of Sandese Aate Hai and Hindustan, both composed by Mithoon. As for the former remix, it would be sung by Sonu Nigam, Arijit Singh, Diljit Dosanjh, and Vishal Dadlani.

Even after the negative reception of the Border 2 (2026) teaser, the Sunny Deol starrer remains one of the most awaited movies of 2026 solely due to the box office potential it carries. This is because the audience that disliked the teaser of Border 2 is the same audience that downplayed Gadar 2, which later went on to be an all-time blockbuster.

While not much can be expected on the quality or content front right now, Border 2 is sure to be a big grosser right in the starting month of the year. This gross would be boosted by its Republic Day weekend release. In case the film gets positive reviews, then the probability of it being a blockbuster would rise further.

After Pushpa 2 The Rule Advance booking started in the overseas markets, Inside Box Office has constantly provided all major updates through its website and social media handles. Pushpa 2: The Rule breaks US records but most importantly is targeting records in other regions too.  We will do detailed stories on Pushpa 2: The Rule box office record(s) which will cover all the records it has broken in India and overseas. Talking about Pushpa 2: The Rule Budget and Expectations, the budget is massive as Icon Star Allu Arjun’s fee itself is huge and the expectations are also very high to due popularity of the character Pushpa and its dialogues and music. You’ll see KGF Chapter 2 vs Pushpa 2 everywhere because in terms of hype, this is one of the most hyped sequels since KGF 2. Is Pushpa 2 The Rule Hype more than KGF 2 hype? We will find that out. At Inside Box Office, all analysis is made on the basis of data.

There has been a change in hype as Pushpa 2 release date earlier was 15th August but later got changed to 6th December and then finally 5th December. Later, 15th August was blocked by Bollywood Movies: Stree 2, Vedaa and Khel Khel Mein. While Stree 2 became an All Time Grosser, the other two flopped badly despite having John Abraham and Akshay Kumar. Pushpa 2 ticket price(s) are also expected to be high as the film is also releasing in IMAX and 3D. But, the ticket prices in B and C centres are going to be moderate, confirms a credible source from the Inside Box Office team. Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 Movie Pre-Booking Sale started off well and with 10 days to go for release it has started setting new benchmarks at the ticket counters.

Pushpa 2 Release date in USA is 4th December where Pushpa 2 The Rule is targeting the biggest premiere for an Indian Movie in America which is now held by Prabhas and Deepika Padukone starrer Kalki 2898 AD. Pushpa 2 movie budget is high but so are the recoveries and because it is an expensive affair it needs to win appreciation and score really big numbers in circuits.
