Indian cinema is no longer just about standalone blockbusters. Filmmakers are building a big universe where different characters and films are interconnected. From superheroes to spies and cops to supernatural beings, here are six cinematic universes that are showcasing Indian cinema right now.

Prasanth Varma & Mahavatar Universes

The Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe (Pvcu) began with HanuMan in 2024. The film was a massive success and gave India its first large, mythology-inspired superhero universe. It is followed by Jai Hanuman, and there are expected to be more characters to come in the future.

Son Of Sardaar 2 Box Office Day 1: To Achieve An Undesirable Feat For Ajay Devgn? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

After the success of Raid 2, Ajay Devgn quickly gears up for his next big release of the year, Son Of Sardaar 2. Being a sequel, expectations are high for the film, but unfortunately, things are not looking bright now. In the current scenario, the film is heading for an underwhelming day 1 collection at the Indian box office. But will it be able to save Ajay from an embarrassment? Let’s discuss it below!

The upcoming entertainer, which also stars Mrunal Thakur, Ravi Kishan, and Sanjay Mishra in key roles, is a sequel to Son Of Sardaar (2012). Back in the day, the film opened with mixed reviews from critics, but it did well despite a clash with Shah Rukh Khan’s Jab Tak Hai Jaan and raked in above 100 crore net.

Once again, during the weekend, Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par picked up the pace, thus maintaining its winning momentum. On Friday (July 4), two major releases arrived in theatres: Metro In Dino and Jurassic World Rebirth. Surprisingly, they aren’t causing much harm to Aamir’s comedy-drama. In fact, on the third Saturday, it witnessed a solid jump of over 100% at the Indian box office. Keep reading for a detailed collection report of day 16!

After Laal Singh Chaddha‘s debacle, Aamir has made a strong comeback with his latest light-hearted entertainer. Riding high on positive word-of-mouth, it is doing well with family audiences. It has helped the film to chase the 150 crore milestone after crossing the 100 crore mark like a cakewalk in India.

Son Of Sardaar 2 Box Office Day 1: Will It Enter Ajay Devgn’s Top 5 Openers?(Photo Credit –Facebook)

After the success of Raid 2, Ajay Devgn is looking forward to keeping the winning momentum intact with Son Of Sardaar 2. The upcoming comedy entertainer is scheduled to release on 25 July. It is expected to do well at the Indian box office on day 1, and it looks like the film will easily enter the actor’s top 5 openers of all time by pushing Total Dhamaal out of the list. But can it go further and be among his top 3 openers? Let’s discuss it below!

Advantage of being a sequel

The Son Of Sardaar sequel is an upcoming Hindi comedy film with a dose of action. Its predecessor clashed with Shah Rukh Khan’s Jab Tak Hai Jaan in 2012, but it still turned out to be a commercial winner, earning over 100 crore net.

Raid 2, starring Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh, and Vaani Kapoor, continues its victory march at the worldwide box office.

Misses the 3 crore streak

There is no visible competition until the arrival of Housefull 5 on June 6, 2025. However, there are two big Hollywood releases (Final Destination Bloodlines and Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning) and the impact is to be seen. With a freeway so far, Raj Kumar Gupta’s directorial has maintained a good momentum at the Indian box office. On day 15, Raid 2 earned 2.98 crore, as per the official figures. It witnessed a drop of 10% compared to 3.32 crore earned on Wednesday.

Raid 2, starring Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh, and Vaani Kapoor in key roles, continues to perform well at the Indian box office. Last Wednesday, the collection significantly dropped amid the India-Pakistan conflict, but thankfully, it witnessed an upward trend thereafter. Yesterday, on day 10, the film saw a much bigger jump than expected, thus creating a positive atmosphere in the industry. Keep reading for a detailed collection report!

Raid 2, starring Ajay Devgn and Riteish Deshmukh in the lead roles, is back on track after facing a significant drop on Wednesday.

Saif Kareena Religion Talk (Photo Credit – Instagram)

The Nawab of Bollywood, Saif Ali Khan, once said that he would “never want Bebo to change her religion.” Read on to know more!

Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan are the royal couple in the industry. The duo have been married for over 13 years and are proud parents to Taimur Ali Khan and Jehangir Ali Khan. But did you know that during his dating period with his then girlfriend, Kareena Kapoor, he revealed his thoughts on the issue of religious conversion?

In an interview with Mail Today, Saif shared, “I would never want her (Kareena) to change her religion. That is the trouble with religion really.. it expects conversion. I don’t buy or believe that. I think it’s good that the government, too, has, unless I’m misinformed about the law amended to include it in the Special Marriage Act.

Drishyam 3 Box Office: How Much Does It Need To Earn To Beat Singham Franchise? ( Photo Credit – YouTube )

Ajay Devgn was recently put in a fix when Mohanlal’s Drishyam 3 was announced. For the unversed, Devgn’s popular franchise also starring Tabu and Akshaye Khanna in two parts are a remake of the two instalment Malayalam franchise by the same name led by Mohanlal. Meanwhile, the Maidaan superstar is currently booked with projects.

But reports now confirm that Devgn might skip everything and start shooting for the threequel of his crime thriller since it needs to arrive as soon as the Malayalam version arrives to avoid any box office loss, owing to the popularity of South Indian films and their subtitled arrivals on Ott!

So Ajay Devgn has decided to jump on Drishyam 3 as soon as he wraps his current commitments so that the film does not get impacted...

In this special feature, Subhash K Jha takes a look at the Iifa nominations and shares his thoughts on who was snubbed and who should take home the prize.

Was Ravi Kishan really a supporting actor in Laapata Ladies? And were Sparsh Shrivastav and Nitanshi Goel the lead actor and actresses in Kiran Rao’s gem on ditzy spousal swaps?

Laapata Ladies would have worked just as well with any two new eager beavers.

Not nominating Vidya Balan and Pratik Gandhi for Sirsha Guha Thakurta’s wonderful Do Aur Do Pyar, or for that matter not nominating Applause Entertainment’s Do Aur Do Pyar for any of the major categories reminds me of the time when the music and songs of Kamal Amrohi’s Pakeezah composed by Ghulam Mohammed, lost the Filmfare award to Shankar-Jaikishan’s Beimaan in 1972. Errrr, does anyone remember a single song from Beimaaan today?

Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor has found new creative territory as antagonist Danger Lanka in Rohit Shetty’s “Singham Again,” marking a calculated departure from his traditional leading man roles.

The pic marks the fifth entry in Shetty’s popular cop universe. The franchise – initially based on Hari’s 2010 Tamil-language “Singam,” starring Suriya – kicked off with “Singham” (2011) and “Singham Returns” (2014), both centering on Bajirao Singham (Ajay Devgn), a straight-arrow Deputy Commissioner of Police (Dcp) from the Goa-Maharashtra border town of Shivgarh. “Simmba” (2018) shifted focus to Sangram “Simmba” Bhalerao (Ranveer Singh), a corrupt inspector from Singham’s hometown. The series expanded further with “Sooryavanshi” (2021), introducing Akshay Kumar as Dcp Veer Sooryavanshi.

“Singham Again” boasts an A-list ensemble including Devgn, Singh, Kumar, Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Jackie Shroff, Tiger Shroff and Kapoor.

Kapoor began his film industry journey behind the scenes, assisting in productions like “Kal Ho Naa Ho” (2003) and “Salaam-e-Ishq” (2007). He...

Singham Again Worldwide Box Office (Final Update) (Photo Credit – Facebook)

Singham Again has officially wrapped up its theatrical run. There were humongous expectations shouldered on the Avengers of Cop Universe. However, Rohit Shetty & Ajay Devgn’s film has concluded its box office journey on a losing note. Scroll below for the final breakdown!

Domestic Box Office Collection

After the first week, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 had started leading the race against Singham Again. As most know, both films arrived in a box office clash on Diwali 2024 (November 1). In approximately 48 days, Ajay Devgn & Kareena Kapoor Khan starrer has made domestic earnings of 274.61 crores net.

Singham Again has wrapped its box office run in India behind Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, which has minted 281.53 crores in its lifetime. It has been declared a losing affair, given its humungous budget of 340 crores. However, it has achieved many records, including becoming Ajay Devgn’s second highest-grossing film...

Rohit Shetty has unlocked another massive milestone at the worldwide box office. After Chennai Express, he has added another 400 crore grosser to his kitty. That’s not it; Ajay Devgn has also found its first film in the coveted club. Scroll below for the exciting update!

Domestic Box Office Collection

In 27 days, Ajay Devgn and Kareena Kapoor Khan’s cop drama has accumulated net earnings of 268.85 crores. The gross collections now stand at 317.24 crores. The daily figures have down below the one crore mark. With Pushpa 2 storm arriving in less than a week, Singham Again will conclude its theatrical run around the 275 crore mark in India.

Worldwide Box Office Collection

An update on the overseas earnings is yet awaited. Combining the 82.96 crores gross (as per the last update), the worldwide box office collection of Singham Again has surged to 400.20 crores gross.

Ajay Devgn’s Singham Again has entered the last leg of its lifetime run at the box office, and while the film is stretching itself towards a respectable number every day, the inflated budget is not helping to achieve the goal already. After 25 days, it stands at 267.65 crore.

Singham Again Box Office Collection Day 25

On the 25th day, Monday, November 25, the film earned 0.65 crore. This was a huge from the previous day, which happened to be a Sunday, and earned 1.95 crore.

Interestingly, it is the highest-grossing Cop Universe film and the highest-grossing film of Rohit Shetty’s career, surpassing his previous best – Simmba’s 240 crore. Meanwhile, Ajay Devgn has yet to beat the highest-grossing film of his career, Tanhaji – The Unsung Warrior!

The stakes are high as Singham Again is made on a reported budget of over 300 crores. Ajay Devgn and Rohit Shetty’s cop drama is dwindling at the box office amid strong competition from Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. It has shown some growth on the third Sunday. But unfortunately, it is not enough. Stay tuned for the early trends of day 17.

The Avengers of the cop universe is the fifth installment after Singham, Singham Returns, Simmba, and Sooryavanshi. It enjoyed decent pre-release hype, and the trailer was well-received. Even the spot bookings were tremendous during the Diwali holidays. However, the mixed word-of-mouth gradually impacted the footfalls, and its competitor, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, took the lead in daily earnings.

Rohit Shetty is called the ‘hit machine’ of Bollywood. His movies are visual treats, whether in the comedy or action genre. He has collaborated with Ajay Devgn for their 11th film, Singham Again. The duo has clocked in 1000 crore in box office collection together. Scroll below as we decode the number game!

Rohit and Ajay united for the first time in the 2003 film Zameen. Unfortunately, the film did not click with the audience. However, they did not lose hope and worked together again in Golmaal (2006). It began their streak of successes except Sunday (2008).

Ajay Devgn & Rohit Shetty Collaborations

The most successful collaboration of Ajay Devgn & Rohit Shetty for the longest time was Golmaal Again (2017). The fourth installment of the Golmaal franchise earned a whopping 205.72 crores at the Indian box office. It was only their one and only film to have entered the 200 crore club.

Scale is everything in Singham Again. The Hindi-language action film has eight stars, six screenwriters and three additional scribes who worked on dialogue, including director Rohit Shetty. The hardware on display is similarly expansive — there are battleships, helicopters, dozens of cars that get blown up and smashed. And weapons both large and small — missiles, guns, machetes.

At one point, Tiger Shroff brandishes the Urumi, an Indian sword with a whip-like blade which originated in modern-day Kerala. There is so much to fit in every frame that wide shots are the default mode, with Ravi Basrur’s score filling and underlining every beat. The ambition seems to be sensory overload.

Then there’s the story. Shetty’s Cop Universe, of which Singham Again is the fifth installment, is built on the idea of the police officer as superhero. His men — Singham (Ajay Devgn), Simmba (Ranveer Singh) and Sooryavanshi (Akshay Kumar) — are upright sons of the soil.

Singham Again Box Office Collection Day 8 (Photo Credit – YouTube)

Ajay Devgn-led Singham Again has entered its second week on a solid note, pulling off strong numbers even on its second Friday. The drop was minimal and on the expected lines, but the trend has made it clear that on Saturday, it’s going to show a huge jump today. In the latest development, the film has surpassed Sooryavanshi’s domestic lifetime collection, thus becoming the second highest-grossing film in the Cop Universe. Keep reading for a detailed box office report for day 8!

After the success of Singham and Singham Returns, Rohit Shetty officially announced the concept of Cop Universe, connecting all his cop films. The buzz went high as Simmba and Sooryavanshi enjoyed huge success among the masses. Now, with the Singham threequel, Shetty is all set to deliver the biggest film of his cinematic universe.

Released amid a huge buzz,...

So pleased is Rohit Shetty with Tiger Shroff’s Lakshman act in Singham Again, with Ajay Devgan, that the director is said to be building an entire film around Tiger’s character.

Says Tiger, “I happen to be privileged to be in the new edition so really enjoying all the love and appreciation coming my way as well the film. I think in all humility I think there might be one however I don’t know when and again it all depends on Rohit Sir’s lineup and when he feels like doing that and when he feels it’s the right time to start work on that. Truly an honor to be a part of the Cop universe. Very grateful to Rohit sir to present me the way he did. and you know, give me an opportunity to make an impact amongst so many huge stars. So very grateful...

Singham Again Box Office Collection Day 5 Update! (Photo Credit – Prime Video/Youtube)

Diwali has been a highly successful affair at the Indian box office. Rohit Shetty’s directorial Singham Again made a smashing debut. It is competing with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, which has also achieved great heights. After a successful Monday, there was a routine dip in collections on day 5. Scroll below for a detailed analysis.

Starring Ajay Devgn and Kareena Kapoor Khan, the cop drama was released in theatres worldwide on November 1, 2024. It opened to mixed reviews and lower advance booking than Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, but the spot bookings very well compensated to ensure a Diwali dhamaka. The opening weekend clocked the 125 crore mark, and the film is now inching closer to the 150 crore milestone.

Box Office Collection Day 5

Singham Again is maintaining its strong run at the Indian box office. On the first Tuesday, Ajay Devgn’s film made a collection of 16.50 crores.

Singham Again may not have received unanimously positive reviews but that did not stop it from shining bright at the box office. After a fantastic opening weekend, the cop drama passed the Monday test very well. Rohit Shetty has also climbed a step ahead and is invincible now! Scroll below for Koimoi Directors’ Ranking.

What is Koimoi Directors’ Ranking?

Ajay Devgn’s Singham Again, on the fifth day, has refused to slow down and taken the total to cross the 150 crore mark. The threequel from the Cop Universe is currently standing at approximately 153+ crore in five days and might comfortably reach the 200 crore mark by the end of the week.

Singham Sequel Vs Threequel

Amid a huge buzz, Singham Again marked its grand arrival yesterday, and needless to say, it set the cash registers ringing. Ajay Devgn and Rohit Shetty’s pair is unbeatable when it comes to delivering big-money spinners. Even in a changed post-covid scenario, the duo has smashed it out of the park and managed to bring in over 40 crore net at the Indian box office. Keep reading for a detailed day 1 collection report!

In today’s scenario, when franchises have immense potential, expectations from the Singham threequel were sky-high. But things were spoiled when it was learned that it was going to lock horns with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. A clash with any standalone film won’t have caused much harm, but a battle with a well-established franchise has caused a major dent. Nonetheless, the final result is really good.

On the Eve of the release of Singham Again we revisit the first Singham movie in 2011!

This is a praise-Vardi effort even now! When Rohit Shetty directed Singham in 2011, he had no idea what he was getting into. The first Singham film was meant to be a one-off project. A remake of a Tamil film of the same name, Singham, is still a load of fun.

Devgan, with or without the gun, takes his job as a lawfully dreaded crusader very seriously. And we take him seriously: Devgan is an actor with customized inbuilt gravitas. Now, if Akshay Kumar were to play Singham, an element of humour would have crept in willy nilly, as it did when Akshay entered Shetty’s cop universe with Sooryavansham.

Devgan always means business. Even if he cracks a joke, he doesn’t find it funny himself. In Singham, Devgn plays the one-man army. He...

Singham Again stars Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Ranveer Singh, Akshay Kumar,...

Fans of high-octane action and gripping storytelling are eagerly awaiting the release of Singham Again, the latest instalment in Rohit Shetty’s celebrated Singham series. This new film not only marks the return of the iconic Bajirao Singham but also further expands the much-loved Cop Universe. This epic series redefined the action genre in India.

The Singham series debuted in 2011 with the release of Singham, starring Ajay Devgn in the titular role of Bajirao Singham, a fearless and upright police officer. Directed by Rohit Shetty, the film became an instant hit, lauded for its high-voltage action sequences, powerful dialogues, and Devgn’s strong performance as a no-nonsense cop battling corruption. The success of Singham laid the foundation for one of Bollywood’s most successful franchises.

In 2014, Singham Returns hit the screens, once again with Ajay Devgn reprising his role as Singham. The sequel was bigger, bolder, and more action-packed, diving...

Anees Bazmee is undeterred by all the combative talks pitching his much-awaited Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 with Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again. He actually is appalled by stories of One-upmanship between Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again.

Taking time off from his frantic post-production work, Anees told this writer, “I don’t understand this competitive argument, nor do I appreciate it. Why can’t two films be successful on the same Friday? It has happened in the past. I would want both Bhool Bhulaiyaa2 and Singham Returns to do well.”

Anees gets slightly emotional as he speaks of the Singham team. “Ajay Devgan and I go back a long way. He was the leading man of my non-comedy films Deewaangee and Pyar Toh Hona Hi Tha. Akshay and I have collaborated on a number of hit films. And Singham director Rohit Shetty is a friend. We are all part of the same entertainment industry.

Phars Film (Phf) has locked down the overseas theatrical distribution rights for “Singham Again,” the upcoming tentpole from Jio Studios, the content arm of billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries Limited. The action thriller, helmed by hitmaker Rohit Shetty, is poised to be one of Bollywood’s marquee releases for 2024.

The pic marks the fifth entry in Shetty’s popular cop universe. The franchise – initially based on Hari’s 2010 Tamil-language “Singam,” starring Suriya – kicked off with “Singham” (2011) and “Singham Returns” (2014), both centering on Bajirao Singham (Ajay Devgn), a straight-arrow Deputy Commissioner of Police (Dcp) from the Goa-Maharashtra border town of Shivgarh. “Simmba” (2018) shifted focus to Sangram “Simmba” Bhalerao (Ranveer Singh), a corrupt inspector from Singham’s hometown. The series expanded further with “Sooryavanshi” (2021), introducing Akshay Kumar as Dcp Veer Sooryavanshi.

“Singham Again” boasts an A-list ensemble including Devgn, Singh, Kumar, Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Jackie Shroff, Tiger Shroff and Arjun Kapoor.

Hot rumours masquerading as authentic news, insist that Salman Khan will reprise his role as the mischievous cop Chulbul Pandey from the Dabangg series in Rohit Shetty’s Singham Returns.

But a very close friend of Salman completely debunks the rumours. “Where did that come from? Salman Khan as Chulbul Pandey in Singham Returns , sounds like someone’s idea of clickbaiting. There is Absolutely no truth to it. Singham is far removed from Dabangg. For now, Salman is done with Chulbul Pandey and Dabangg. He is not doing the fourth part of Dabangg unless he finds the right script and director. Prabhu Deva who directed Dabangg 3 refused the offer to carry the Franchise forward. So where and why would Salman play Chulbul Pandey in someone else’s franchise? This is one of the funniest rumours in recent times.”

Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh’s visit to the Siddhivinayak temple. Deepika’s choice of a green silk saree with golden thread work, paired with minimal jewelry, highlights her elegant and traditional style. Her graceful manner of concealing her baby bump with the saree’s pallu reflects both her modesty and the joy of their upcoming new chapter.

Ranveer’s off-white kurta set complemented Deepika’s attire, and his supportive and caring presence as he guided her and greeted people adds to the warm and loving image of the couple. Their visit to the temple with their families and the videos shared online capture a special moment of their journey as they prepare to welcome their first child.

Impact Of Maidaan Trailer At Box Office: Beats Mammootty’s Bheeshma Parvam To Become 5th Highest-Grossing Malayalam Film Of All Time!

The 2-minute and 43-second trailer presents Ajay Devgn as an earnest football coach avatar. The production design and VFX work are good, taking you to the era of the 1950s and 1960s. While the plot might come off as similar compared to a couple of Bollywood sports dramas, the presence of actors like Ajay and Gajraj Rao keeps us engaged.
