The Mummy Shows Strong Hold In India With Surprising South India Boost

The Hollywood horror film The Mummy directed by Lee Cronin is continuing its run in India with steady box office numbers. On its second Friday, the film earned around Rs 1.75 crore. This is only a 12 percent drop compared to its opening day, showing that the film is holding its audience fairly well.

After 8 days in theatres, the total collection of the film in India stands at about Rs 18.75 crore, which is close to USD 2 million. The second weekend is expected to add around Rs 8 crore more. If this happens, the total collection could reach around Rs 25 crore by Sunday. Based on its current trend, the film may finish its full run in the range of Rs 35 to Rs 40 crore, which would be considered a strong performance for a small budget horror film.

A major part of the film’s earnings is coming from South India. In particular, Tamil Nadu is performing very strongly. On the second Friday, the state contributed more than 40 percent of the total collections. During the first weekend, its share was between 20 and 25 percent, but this has steadily increased during the weekdays.

Usually, Tamil Nadu contributes only about 10 percent to Hollywood film collections in India. Markets like Mumbai, Delhi UP, and Mysore generally lead. However, in this case, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh are leading the performance. The Tamil and Telugu dubbed versions of the film in these two states are earning more than the English and Hindi versions across the country. This shows that horror films can attract a wide audience, especially in regional markets.

The title The Mummy is familiar to Indian audiences because of the earlier popular film series. The 1999 film earned around Rs 20 crore in India. Its sequels, The Mummy Returns and The Mummy Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, collected about Rs 27 crore and Rs 48 crore respectively. When adjusted for today’s value, these figures are close to Rs 200 crore.

Even though the new film is not directly connected to that earlier series, the well known title may have helped attract attention. Based on its current performance, the film has a chance to become a successful release in India and could be one of the notable Hollywood performers of the year.

Avinash Tiwary Questions Bollywood Obsession With Abs And Box Office Numbers

0

Actor Avinash Tiwary is currently in the news for his film Ginny Weds Sunny 2. In a recent interview, he spoke about what he feels are key issues in the film industry. He pointed out that there is often a gap between what audiences say they appreciate and what they actually support in theatres.

Avinash mentioned actors like Manoj Bajpayee, Vikrant Massey, and Pratik Gandhi. He said these performers are often called “underrated,” but this praise does not always lead to strong box office collections for their films. He also added that in industries like South cinema and Hollywood, performances based on talent are more consistently supported by audiences.

During his conversation with Siddharth Kanan, Avinash raised questions about the focus on physical appearance in Bollywood. He said, “Aapko kahin pe bhi, kisi industry mein… I know I might get flak for this, par kahin pe bhi 60 saal ke log 6-pack, 8-pack bana ke ghoom rahe hain? (Anywhere, in any industry… I know I might get flak for this, but where else do you see 60-year-olds walking around with six-pack or eight-pack abs?) Even in Hollywood, Arnold Schwarzenegger is not doing that, Sylvester Stallone… there is no need to. There is no vanity or desirability that needs to be sold off. Not even in the South, why is it only in the Hindi film industry? That is a question we all need to answer.”

He further spoke about how much importance is given to box office numbers. He said, “There’s no value for the skill, craft. Audience baithke box office numbers dekh rahi hai. Kahan hota hai yeh sab? Main 20 saal se acting kar raha hoon (Audience is looking at box office numbers. Where else does this happen? I have been acting for 20 years), and there are various projects that I have done, and we can always debate what is good and bad.”

Avinash also explained that he was talking about actors who are respected for their work but may not get enough support from audiences. According to him, a lot of attention goes to surface level things, such as a shirtless photo creating buzz, while strong performances are sometimes ignored. He added that if looks are the main focus, then films might as well feature models instead of trained actors.

Although he did not mention any specific names, fans of Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Akshay Kumar reacted strongly. The interview clip has been widely shared on social media, where it has received both criticism and discussion from viewers.

Bhooth Bangla Becomes A Hit As Akshay Kumar Makes Strong Comeback

The Hindi film Bhooth Bangla, starring Akshay Kumar, has started its second week at the box office on a steady note. On its second Friday, the film collected around Rs 5.75 crore. This is about 10 percent higher than what it earned the previous day, showing a slight increase in audience turnout.

After 8 days in theatres, the total collection of the film has reached around Rs 86 crore net. The film saw a drop of just over 50 percent compared to its first week, which is considered a stable performance. Based on its current trend, the film has now been classified as a successful or hit release.

This makes Bhooth Bangla one of the notable Hindi film successes of the year, along with Border 2 and Dhurandhar 2. For Akshay Kumar, this is his first hit film since OMG 2. It is also his first non franchise hit since Good Newwz.

In recent years, especially after the pandemic, Akshay Kumar has faced a difficult time at the box office, with several films not performing as expected. Last year showed some improvement, as his films managed average results instead of failing completely. Now, with Bhooth Bangla, he has a clear hit film again.

The actor is known for releasing multiple films regularly, which plays an important role in keeping the box office active. Unlike some actors who take a long time between projects, Akshay Kumar and actors like Ajay Devgn have maintained a steady flow of releases. This consistency helps the industry, as regular film releases are important for theatre business.

Looking ahead, Bhooth Bangla is expected to perform well over its second weekend. It may collect around Rs 25 crore more, which could take its total beyond Rs 105 crore by Sunday. If the trend continues, the film is likely to finish its full run at around Rs 140 crore to Rs 150 crore net.

Overall, the film’s performance shows steady growth and strong audience support, especially in its second week, which is usually a crucial period for any film’s box office journey.

Deven Bhojani Reveals Truth About Shah Rukh Khan

0

Deven Bhojani recently shared his experience of working with Shah Rukh Khan and spoke about how his opinion about the superstar changed over time. He admitted that before meeting Shah Rukh, he had heard many rumours about him being arrogant and difficult to work with, which made him hesitant.

In an interview, Deven spoke about his early days in the film industry and his first interaction with Shah Rukh. The two had worked together earlier on a film titled Jaadu, which was later released as Yeh Lamhe Judaai Ke. They also shared screen space in Dunki.

Talking about his first meeting, Deven said he was unsure whether he should approach Shah Rukh because of what he had heard. “Years ago, I did another film with Shah Rukh Khan. After Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, I did 20-25 films where I played the hero’s friend. There was one such film where I played Shah Rukh’s friend. I don’t know if that film was released or if it got delayed. Back then, I had heard Shah Rukh is very arrogant, threw tantrums, speaks very rudely. It was my first day on set…

“Since I was new, I introduced myself to everyone. But I kept wondering if I should go and speak to SRK or not. I hesitated thinking what if he insults me. I was learning my lines in a corner, and someone tapped me from behind. It was him, he introduced himself and praised my work in Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, that’s when all the rumours about him were busted. Shah Rukh was so down to earth, he told me that he had seen Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar just a few days back with Mansoor, and he loved my work so much that he took my details from Mansoor,” he added.

Deven also spoke about working with Shah Rukh again in Dunki. He said the actor was very warm and made everyone feel comfortable on set. He recalled a moment during a church scene when Shah Rukh started calling him “sir.” When Deven asked why, Shah Rukh said that since others were addressing him that way, he felt he should do the same.

Shah Rukh Khan was last seen in Pathaan, Jawan, and Dunki, along with a cameo in Tiger 3. He is currently working on King, directed by Siddharth Anand, which also features Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Rani Mukerji and Deepika Padukone.

Charlize Theron Climbs Rock Wall In Times Square For Apex Promotion

0

Actor Charlize Theron made a public appearance in Times Square on April 24 to promote her upcoming film Apex. Instead of a usual press event, she chose a different approach by climbing a rock wall set up in the busy area.

Wearing a simple white tank top and matching pants, Theron performed the activity in front of a large crowd. Many people gathered around to watch and record the moment, which quickly gained attention. The stunt stood out because it was not a typical promotional activity and added a visual element to the film’s marketing.

Theron is known for taking on physically demanding roles in her films, and this appearance reflected that image. Her performance in Times Square gave a preview of the kind of action and intensity that the film is expected to show.

In Apex, Theron plays the role of a woman dealing with personal loss. Her character travels to a remote area in the Australian wilderness. During this journey, she becomes involved in a dangerous situation where she is targeted by a killer. The role of the antagonist is played by Taron Egerton.

The film is directed by Baltasar Kormakur, who is known for making action and survival based films. The storyline focuses on tension, survival, and psychological conflict between the main characters.

The public stunt in Times Square served as an early look at the tone of the film. It also helped create awareness about the release in a way that stood out from regular interviews or press conferences.

Apex was released on April 24 and is available for streaming on Netflix. The promotional event, along with the film’s theme, suggests a focus on action and suspense, which are central to its story.

Zoe Kravitz And Harry Styles Engagement Rumours Take Over Internet

Recent photos of Zoe Kravitz wearing a ring have led to speculation that she is engaged to singer Harry Styles. According to a source, the two may have taken their relationship to the next level, although there has been no official confirmation from either of them.

An insider said that Styles is very serious about Kravitz, stating, “He is completely smitten,” and added, “He would jump off a cliff for her.” The same source mentioned that Kravitz is also very happy, saying she “is on cloud nine.” The source further shared, “No one in their circle is surprised,” suggesting that people close to them were already aware of how strong their relationship had become.

The engagement rumours started when Kravitz was seen wearing a noticeable ring while sharing a kiss with Styles in public. These images quickly spread online and led to widespread discussion among fans and media.

The two were first linked in August 2025, when they were seen spending time together in Rome. They were later spotted in London as well, showing affection openly. Early reports suggested that their relationship was moving quickly. One source had said, “I feel like they’ve gone from 0 to 60.” Another added, “It’s so hard to date as a celebrity … Harry wouldn’t have gone public with Zoë if it wasn’t anything.”

By January 2026, reports indicated that the relationship had become more serious. It was said that Kravitz had described Styles as “her soulmate” to people close to her. Despite this, the couple has mostly stayed private and has not shared many details publicly. They have occasionally been seen together in places like Brooklyn.

The pair was also recently photographed holding hands while arriving at an after party for Saturday Night Live, where Styles had appeared as a host.

Both have had past relationships. Kravitz was married to Karl Glusman from June 2019 to December 2020. She later dated Channing Tatum, and they were engaged in 2023 before separating a year later.

Styles has also been linked to several well known names, including Olivia Wilde, Kendall Jenner, Taylor Swift, and Taylor Russell.

At this point, neither Kravitz nor Styles has officially confirmed the engagement rumours.

Josh Kloss Speaks Out Again On Allegations Against Katy Perry

0

Actor and model Josh Kloss has once again spoken about allegations he made earlier against singer Katy Perry. He said he has been dealing with what he described as “silent trauma” since an alleged incident that he claims happened nearly 14 years ago.

In an interview, Kloss said, “It’s hard to bring up something that seems irrelevant to a lot of people.” He had first shared these claims publicly in August 2019 through social media. According to him, he decided to speak again after actress Ruby Rose made separate allegations against Perry. Kloss said it felt “important” for him to be “brave” and share his experience again, adding, “The world can judge me, you know?”

Kloss had worked with Perry in the music video for her song Teenage Dream, which was filmed in 2010. He said they got along well during the shoot. A couple of years later, he claimed he attended a birthday party for Johnny Wujek, who has worked as Perry’s costume designer.

According to Kloss, when he arrived at the party with a friend, Perry greeted him outside the venue. He alleged that during this moment, she pulled down his pants and underwear in front of others. He said this left him feeling shocked and embarrassed. He had earlier written, “Can you imagine how pathetic and embarrassed I felt?”

In the recent interview, Kloss said he “freaked out” at the time and claimed Perry laughed. He also clarified that he did not see the incident as a joke or prank. He explained that even such actions can be humiliating, especially when they happen in public.

At the time when he first made the claims, Johnny Wujek denied them and said, “This is such bulls–t. Katy would never do something like that.” Jewelry designer Marsha Molinari also reacted, calling Kloss an “obsessed” fan.

Kloss admitted that he may have had a crush on Perry earlier, which made the situation confusing for him. He said that over time, he understood the incident differently after thinking about it more deeply.

Perry has not directly responded to Kloss’ claims. However, in a past interview, she spoke generally about similar allegations and said, “I think we live in a world where anyone can say anything.” She added that she prefers not to comment on every claim made about her.

Recently, Ruby Rose also made allegations against Perry, which the singer’s representatives have strongly denied, calling them false. Authorities in Australia are currently looking into those claims.

Global singer and businesswoman Rihanna recently attended an event in Mumbai to launch her cosmetic brand Fenty Beauty. Videos and photos from the event quickly spread on social media, especially one moment where she interacted with fans in Hindi.

In a viral clip, Rihanna stepped out briefly and asked people around her, “How do you say thank you in Hindi?” After someone helped her, she came back and said, “Shukriya!” This simple gesture received a strong and positive reaction from fans present at the event.

During her interaction with fans, Rihanna wore a bold monochrome outfit in a chartreuse shade. The look included a flowing, high neck, full sleeve top paired with a matching flared leather skirt. The outfit was from the Mugler Fall 2026 collection and stood out because of its bright color and structured design.

For the after party, Rihanna changed into a black fit and flare jersey dress by Alaia. The dress featured a high neck, full sleeves and V shaped crocodile leather cut outs, giving it a modern and sharp look. She styled the outfit with multiple diamond rings and statement ear cuffs. She also wore a diamond hathphool designed by Manish Malhotra, adding a traditional Indian touch to her overall appearance.

Another video from the event showed Rihanna smiling and posing with a photographer on the red carpet. Her full appearance at the launch, including the pop up event, after party and fan interaction, gained a lot of attention online.

Earlier, Rihanna had spoken about bringing Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin to India. A press statement read, “Bringing Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin to over 50 stores across 16 cities in India means so much to me. It has always been about making sure everyone, everywhere, feels seen, celebrated and confident in their skin. Now, we are making it easier for people to experience our products, and we are just getting started.”

Rihanna started her beauty brand in 2017 with a focus on inclusivity and a wide range of shades. She had also visited India earlier in 2024, when she attended the pre wedding celebrations of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant.

Michael Jackson Biopic Opens Strong Globally But India Response Remains Mixed

The biopic based on Michael Jackson, titled Michael, has been released in theatres and its opening day performance is getting attention. Early box office numbers show that while there is interest among audiences, the response is not very strong in all regions.

The film was released on Friday, with some paid previews held the evening before. In India, it had a steady but modest start. According to Sacnilk, the film earned Rs 3.8 crore net on its first day. The paid previews added another Rs 1.7 crore, taking the total India net collection to Rs 5.5 crore. The gross collection stands at Rs 6.6 crore.

The film was shown in 3,029 shows across the country. Overall occupancy on the first day was 21.86 percent. There was a gradual increase in audience turnout during the day. Morning shows recorded 16.78 percent occupancy, which increased to 20.11 percent in the afternoon. Evening shows reached 23.11 percent, and night shows saw the highest occupancy at 27.44 percent.

Looking at city wise performance, Delhi NCR had the highest number of shows at 295, but the occupancy was low at 8 percent. On the other hand, Hyderabad showed better interest, with 240 shows and an occupancy of 26 percent.

In international markets, the film performed much better. Reports suggest that it earned between $35 million and $40 million on Friday in the United States, including $12.6 million from paid previews. These numbers are higher than the opening figures of Bohemian Rhapsody, which had collected $18.8 million from previews and its first day.

The preview earnings of Michael also did better than films like John Wick Chapter 4 with $8.9 million, A Minecraft Movie with $10.55 million, and Oppenheimer with $10.5 million.

The film is directed by Antoine Fuqua. In India, its performance is slightly better than some recent Hollywood releases like Project Hail Mary, which earned Rs 2.25 crore on its opening day.

However, competition from local films is affecting its run. Bhooth Bangla continues to perform steadily and collected Rs 5.75 crore on its eighth day. At the same time, Dhurandhar The Revenge, starring Ranveer Singh, added Rs 1.6 crore on day 38.

Despite a strong start globally, the film is still behind some of the biggest Hollywood openings in India, such as Avatar The Way of Water with Rs 40.3 crore, Spider Man No Way Home with Rs 32.67 crore, and Oppenheimer with Rs 14.5 crore.
