Pinkvilla Predicts: Forecast update for Pati Patni Aur Woh Do and Chand Mera Dil

Pinkvilla Predicts: Forecast update for Pati Patni Aur Woh Do and Chand Mera Dil

Published by Parlour News

Both new releases, Ek Din and Raja Shivaji (Hindi), opened as forecasted. No new entry to Pinkvilla Predicts this week, in fact, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai is postponed by two weeks, leading to it dropping from tracking. There is a trailer update for Pati Patni aur Woh Do and a forecast update for Chand Mera Dil.  Other Updates – Pati Patni Aur Woh Do got a trailer last week. The initial response was mixed, with the trailer said to be not clear and the humour not hitting the mark. As a result, there is no bump in the forecast, which was hoped for from the trailer. The high-end forecast remains unchanged, but the low-end is lowered to Rs. 3.50 crore from Rs. 4 crore. – With the postponement of Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, Chand Mera Dil is now a solo release, which offers it some upside. The music so far has been good, but it isn’t buzzing hot yet, and that is key. The film in this zone gave some surprise openings last …

Pinkvilla Predicts: First day box office forecast for Pati Patni Aur Woh Do, Chand Mera Dil, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, final update on Raja Shivaji

Published by Parlour News

Entering the Pinkvilla Predicts tracking this week are three releases: Pati Patni Aur Woh Do, Chand Mera Dil and Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai. It is also the final forecast for Ek Din and Raja Shivaji (Hindi). The Hindi film industry had a good last couple of weeks with the historic success of Dhurandhar: The Revenge and a highly encouraging win with Bhooth Bangla. The month of May has these titles, which aren’t big films on paper, but they are the bread and butter for the industry, as they are what is supposed to keep the box office ticking on a weekly basis. Pati Patni Aur Woh Do (15/05/2026)First day box office forecast: Rs. 4-6 crore Sequel to the 2019 HIT film, Pati Patni Aur Woh, with a different cast. The 2019 film opened to Rs. 8 crore nett. Had a follow-up with the same cast arrived in 2020 (well, without a pandemic looming), with Ayushmann Khurrana at his peak, it would have opened very well. However, the time has changed for the worse …

EXCLUSIVE: Parvathy Thiruvothu hopes films are stopped called ‘women-oriented’; Talks about her frustration with ‘love’ roles

Published by Parlour News

Parvathy Thiruvothu is next set to headline the crime thriller series Storm, bankrolled by Hrithik Roshan under the banner of HRX Films. Speaking about the show, the actress underlined how she wishes the term “women-oriented” would stop being used in films and series. Parvathy Thiruvothu on stopping the use of term ‘women-oriented’ Speaking with Pinkvilla, Parvathy Thiruvothu said, “Storm is, simply put, we leave a lot of bureaucracy, but somehow we might get the wrong end of the stick. It is Ajitpal’s directorial, so there is a lot of you can trust but this time he has chosen five women to portray what happens in the society. It has been my dream that we start making films and not say things like, ‘women-oriented,’ it is a process to get to that point.” Here’s the interview The actress added, “I remember about 9 years ago, at a panel discussion, where I was in a debate with a fellow feminist colleague of mine, who advocated that the term ‘women-oriented’ is important. I said, yeah but eventually, I …

EXCLUSIVE: Rajpal Yadav drops updates on Akshay Kumar’s Hera Pheri 3 and Welcome to the Jungle Speaking with Pinkvilla, Rajpal Yadav said, “Abhi aap pehle, Bhooth Bangla enjoy kariye. Uske baad aapko, Hera Pheri se pehle, aapko Welcome To The Jungle, ek aisi mad…mad…mad film dekhe. Mujhe woh saubhagya mila woh karne ka jisme 27 actors ka jama bhaada dekhoge.

Pinkvilla Predicts: First day box office forecast for Aakhiri Sawal, final update on Akshay Kumar’s Bhooth Bangla

Pinkvilla Predicts: First day box office forecast for Aakhiri Sawal, final update on Akshay Kumar’s Bhooth Bangla

Published by Parlour News

There is no major new entry in Pinkvilla Predicts this week, except Aakhiri Sawal, which is expected to be a non-opener. Additionally, this serves as the final update for Bhooth Bangla. Aakhiri Sawal (08/05/2026) First Day Box Office Forecast: Rs. 0-50 lakh Sanjay Dutt‘s Aakhiri Sawal is gearing up for release in the second week of May 2026. The political drama movie, directed by Abhijeet Mohan Warang, looks like a non-opener. Its success will depend heavily on word-of-mouth among the audience. As for now, the movie is looking for an opening under the Rs. 50 lakh at the box office.  The movie stars Sanjay Dutt, Namashi Chakraborty, Tridha Chaudhary, Amit Sadh, Sameera Reddy, and others.  Other Updates Heading into the final week, Bhooth Bangla is expected to avoid slipping into single digits on Friday. The previews starting from 9 PM on Thursday (April 16) are probably a bit too late to make a material impact on its opening day business. There isn’t much increase on upside from the previous forecast of opening day inclusive of previews i.e. …

Pinkvilla Predicts: First day box office forecast for Raja Shivaji (Hindi) and Ek Din, trailer update for Akshay Kumar’s Bhooth Bangla

Pinkvilla Predicts: First day box office forecast for Raja Shivaji (Hindi) and Ek Din, trailer update for Akshay Kumar’s Bhooth Bangla

Published by Parlour News

After a brief hiatus of two weeks, Pinkvilla Predicts returns. Entering the tracking this week are two new releases, Ek Din and Raja Shivaji (Hindi). Additionally, there is a trailer update for Bhooth Bangla. Raja Shivaji (Hindi) (01/05/2026)First Day Box Office Forecast: Rs. 2-4 crore The 2020s have already seen two major blockbusters based on Maratha warriors, Tanhaji and Chhaava. On paper, Raja Shivaji is expected to be bigger than them, although the response to the trailer is not to their level. Both Tanhaji and Chhaava opened strongly in Maharashtra, while the rest of India was relatively slow initially, before picking up momentum due to positive word of mouth. In Maharashtra, the original Marathi version is likely to be the first choice for audiences, which limits the potential of the Hindi dubbed version. The Hindi markets outside Maharashtra, which were slow starters for the earlier films, are not expected to perform better in this case either. That said, the holiday factor should lend some support to the opening day numbers. Ek Din (01/05/2025)First Day Box …

Pinkvilla Predicts: First day box office forecast for Bhooth Bangla, Dhurandhar The Revenge gears up for century opening day

Pinkvilla Predicts: First day box office forecast for Bhooth Bangla, Dhurandhar The Revenge gears up for century opening day

Published by Parlour News

Entering the “Pinkvilla Predicts” tracking this week is Akshay Kumar starrer Bhooth Bangla. This is also the final update for Dhurandhar: The Revenge, which has previews tomorrow and officially releases on Wednesday. Bhooth Bangla (10/04/2026)First Day Box Office Forecast: Rs. 10-15 crore Bhooth Bangla reunites the superhit actor-director duo of Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan, a pair that has delivered some of Hindi cinema’s most iconic comedy entertainers. Not only were their films box office successes upon release, but they have also enjoyed exceptional recall value over the years. From its title, casting, and teaser, Bhooth Bangla appears to carry tonal and thematic similarities to Bhool Bhulaiyaa, another film from the same actor-director duo. While there is no official IP connection, this familiarity could work in the film’s favour. The recent Bhool Bhulaiyaa sequels, despite featuring a different lead cast, have performed strongly at the box office. That said, the trailer will be a key determinant. If the trailer is well-received, there is definitely potential for an upside, and the opening day could be revised upwards. …

Pinkvilla Predicts: Dhurandhar The Revenge eyes Rs. 100 Cr opening day including previews in India

Pinkvilla Predicts: Dhurandhar The Revenge eyes Rs. 100 Cr opening day including previews in India

Published by Parlour News

No film is currently scheduled to release on April 3rd, 2026, in spite of the day being a national holiday for Good Friday. As a result, there is no new entry in Pinkvilla Predicts, with Dhurandhar: The Revenge continuing to remain the sole film under tracking. Other Updates Dhurandhar: The Revenge will now have paid previews on Wednesday, a day ahead of its official release. Bookings for these previews have already opened and have grossed over Rs. 10 crore nett so far. The previews are expected to collect over Rs. 25 crore nett, with the final figure likely landing around Rs. 30 crore nett. While that’s a great number, it will take away from the opening day, burning some of the initial demand. Although the official reporting will likely club the preview with the opening day total, probably anticipating the Rs. 100 crore nett opening day figure, the industry norm has traditionally been to report them separately. Additionally, March 19 was earlier believed to be a national holiday for Eid, but Eid is now expected to fall …

Pinkvilla Predicts: Dhurandhar The Revenge set to tear apart records with solo release as forecast climbs higher

Pinkvilla Predicts: Dhurandhar The Revenge set to tear apart records with solo release as forecast climbs higher

Published by Parlour News

The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond opened to Rs. 5 crore nett approx on its opening day, including previews on Friday. However, this was not a normal opening day, being Saturday instead of Friday. The real value of the day was probably around Rs. 3.50-4 crore nett approx, which was in line with the forecast. No major release is slated for 26th March, so there is no new entry in Pinkvilla Predicts this week. In fact, with the postponement of Toxic (Hindi), the only release currently in the tracking remains Dhurandhar: The Revenge. Other Updates With Toxic (Hindi) moving out of the way, Dhurandhar: The Revenge now has a completely open field for how high its opening day can go. The film was already forecasted for a record-breaking Rs. 67-77 crore nett despite the clash, and with that competition gone, it has sky for aim. The question now is the kind of capacity the film will be able to build.  Although it is a solo release, the nearly four-hour runtime will limit showcasing. Most screens will …

Published by Parlour News

Both new releases this week, Do Deewane Seher Mein and Assi, opened as forecasted. Entering the Pinkvilla Predicts tracking this week is the highly anticipated Dhurandhar: The Revenge. This also marks the final update for The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond. Dhurandhar: The Revenge (19/03/2026)First Day Box Office Forecast: Rs. 67-77 crore Dhurandhar: The Revenge or Dhurandhar 2 is the most anticipated Bollywood film in recent times, probably since Dhoom 3. The original Dhurandhar, released in December 2025, was a box office dhurandhar, which had a glorious run and went on to become the biggest Hindi film of all time. It has continued its record-breaking journey beyond theatrically as well, amassing record views for an Indian film on Netflix. The film has no fresh marketing material out yet, but it doesn’t even really matter, as the first part itself was a trailer for it. It could practically release tomorrow and will still open to historic numbers. The record for the highest opening day for a Hindi film is held by Jawan at Rs. 64 crore …
