Bollywood had a great start to the Diwali season, with Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 posting phenomenal numbers. Singham Again, fronted by Ajay Devgn, had low advances compared to Bhool Bhulaiyaa,3, but the masala entertainer took the lead over the horror comedy flick with strong spot bookings in mass centers.

The day one estimates for Singham Again are in the range of Rs. 45 crores nett. Given the mega clash with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, this can be termed a mammoth opening. Had it been a solo release, Singham Again would have posted much bigger numbers. On the other hand, the Kartik Aaryan starrer is said to have earned in the range of Rs. 35 crores nett.

With Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, both Ajay Devgn and Kartik Aaryan registered their career biggest openings. The clash has undoubtedly caused a dent for both the Diwali releases, but they will enjoy an uninterrupted run till Pushpa 2’s release.

The early reports are decent for both films, and they would look to capitalize on this holiday season. On Monday, we will get a clearer picture of where these biggies are heading. Anees Bazmee directed Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, while Rohit Shetty wielded the megaphone for Singham Again.

With Lucky Baskhar, I aimed to push the boundaries further and create something truly unique, which led to this story.”

He went on to say, “The movie is resonating with both young audiences and families. Surprisingly, even without fight sequences, the mass audience is enjoying it. Every time the hero wins, they feel as if they’ve won too, and that’s why the response has been so strong.”

Atluri also mentioned, “I conducted research on banking and shares. My father’s friend, Mr. Kutumba Rao, has extensive knowledge in these areas, so I traveled with him for a few days, learned from him, and integrated those insights into the story.”

“I’m glad to see that the dialogues are being appreciated,” he added. “I was inspired to enter the film industry by Mani Ratnam and Trivikram Srinivas, and you can certainly see Trivikram’s influence in my dialogues.”

Discussing Dulquer Salmaan’s commitment, he noted, “Despite being a star, Dulquer didn’t hesitate to perform a scene where he had to hold someone’s feet. His dedication is what makes that scene so well-received.”

Six contestants have been nominated this week, and once again, Naini is in the danger zone. She has received the fewest votes and is likely to be ousted. There is also news that Gangavva might leave due to health concerns.

It remains uncertain who the makers will ultimately decide to oust and whether will Naini be saved again. The new wildcard entries are also not performing particularly well, which has landed some in the danger zone.

Nagarjuna is being criticized for playing it safe, so seeing how he handles this week’s episode will be interesting. Stay tuned for more updates.

Pushpa has become such a national sensation and among many reasons, Samantha doing the Oo Antava item song is definitely one of them. Ever since the Pushpa 2 shooting started the speculations had many names for the chartbusting item song in the second part.

Samantha’s name too came up for the item number in Pushpa 2: The Rule, while there were other actresses’ names like Animal fame Tripti Dimri and Disha Patani, and the latest one to join the list is Shraddha Kapoor.

Though Shraddha Kapoor was almost confirmed for the song earlier, her high remuneration and low number of available dates pushed the makers to look for other options.

With not much time in hand for the shoot, Pushpa 2 team is heard to be zeroing in on the heroine’s name within a week and reports say that it is Sree Leela who is going to shake the leg with Allu Arjun.

As a cherry on top, it is heard that the item song of Sree Leela with Allu Arjun will also have Samantha in it. It has to be seen who from Shraddha Kapoor and Sree Leela will sizzle in the most awaited special number. It looks like the song is going to shake the ground and it has to be seen what beat and lyrics Devi Sri Prasad has cooked.
