Do you believe that #ThalapathyVijay leaked the movie, as it was not getting released? Before the election, at least someone will watch the movie as it’s related to his career? #JananayaganLink #Jananayagan #Vijay #Thalapathy

I don’t know why they would name him “Eeswaran” to a rapist, serial killer!? Cannot name any other godly name of other religions! trying to create a controversy for publicity, they very well know it will create gossips and views and people will know the film better in the northern belt. @HindutvaWatchIn @HPhobiaWatch

'MIRZAPUR THE MOVIE' EXPLODES AT THE BOXOFFICE – A ZABARDAST, DHAMAKEDAAR WEEKEND... #MirzapurTheMovie will go down in HISTORY as the FIRST web series-to-film franchise to deliver such HUMONGOUS numbers in its opening weekend.

The film has secured the 4TH SPOT among the TOP 5 opening weekends of 2026 – behind #Dhurandhar2, #Border2, and #Toxic #Hindi – and ahead of #Awarapan2.

#MirzapurTheMovie was a big gamble for Excel Entertainment and Amazon MGM Studios... It could have easily misfired... But the gamble has paid off big time... The phenomenal response has transformed a risky bet into a massive boxoffice triumph.

The film has done FANTASTIC business across the board... Urban centres have performed very well, while Tier 2, Tier 3 and, in particular, the mass pockets have been nothing short of SPECTACULAR.

With an EXTRAORDINARY weekend behind it, #MirzapurTheMovie now enters the all-important weekdays... All eyes on Monday.

⭐ #MirzapurTheMovie [Week 1] Fri 27.85 cr, Sat 32.50 cr, Sun 36.50 cr. Total: ₹ 96.85 cr.
Note: #Hindi version.
Official Nett BOC | #India biz | #Boxoffice

⭐ #MirzapurTheMovie [Week 1] Fri 26 lacs, Sat 28 lacs, Sun 30 lacs. Total: ₹ 84 lacs.
Note: #Telugu version [limited release].

Theatre mein kalesh, screen pe Mirzapur. Same genre, different ticket price.

[Byomkesh @byomkesbakshy]

More action in the theatre than in the entire Mirzapur movie. 🤣

[Writers Desk @Ripewriterrr]

First film to flop twice in one week. That’s not a release plan. That’s a multilingual autopsy.

[Aavishkar @aavishhkar]

#TOXIC CREATES HISTORY! Becomes the first film to flop twice within a week. First the Hindi and other Indian-language versions flopped. And this week the English version was released and opened to disastrous collections.

[Writers Desk @Ripewriterrr]

450 tickets isn’t a soft launch. It’s market research with popcorn.

[BollyHungama @Bollyhungama]

🚨 TOXIC’s English release is turning into a box-office disaster!

Despite the hype around @TheNameIsYash , the English version has managed to sell just 450 tickets across India, collecting a shocking ₹1.40 LAKH on Day 1.
Was releasing Toxic in English a mistake? 👀

#OneWordReview...
#MirzapurTheMovie: WINNER.
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐
PEAK MASS ENTERTAINER... The iconic web series gets a big-screen upgrade – and the result is a roaring, ruthless, razor-sharp entertainer that works big time... SURE-SHOT HIT. #MirzapurTheMovieReview

This is IMPORTANT... #MirzapurTheMovie doesn't feel like a stretched-out episode of the series... IT FEELS LIKE A FILM – larger, louder, and far more cinematic, while retaining the raw flavour, attitude, and spirit that made the web series a phenomenon.

The biggest strength is the writing [Puneet Krishna] – sharp, crisp, and loaded with punchlines... Power struggles, revenge, betrayal, and emotions are woven together smartly, ensuring the narrative never loses its grip.

Every confrontation crackles with tension, every exchange carries attitude, and several dialogues are certain to find their way into conversations outside the cinema hall.

Director Gurmmeet Singh handles the material with confidence, striking the right balance between drama, action, humour, and emotion without diluting the core DNA of #Mirzapur.

Action has always been integral to the #Mirzapur universe and the action here is raw, brutal, and massy... The big-screen treatment adds scale, intensity, and impact, with several whistle-worthy moments.

There's not much scope for music here, and the few songs – including #SansonKiMala – are seamlessly woven into the narrative... The background score, however, is BEYOND OUTSTANDING – it not only elevates the impact of key moments, but takes the overall cinematic experience several notches higher.

Negatives? Yes, the film dips towards the beginning of the second half... But, thankfully, the entire pre-climax-to-climax stretch, shot against the breathtaking sand dunes of #Jaisalmer, leaves you completely awestruck.

The second half also feels slightly stretched and could've certainly benefitted from some trimming... That said, the ending between #GudduPandit [#AliFazal] and #MunnaTripathi [#Divyenndu] is hilarious – while also dropping a clear hint that the next chapter in the #Mirzapur universe is already on the cards.

The actors bring the swagger, menace, vulnerability and intensity that the #Mirzapur universe demands.

The film boasts a massive ensemble cast, and every performer leaves you thoroughly impressed with their impeccable work... #PankajTripathi [exceptional], #RaviKishan [outstanding], #AliFazal [fantastic], #Divyenndu [excellent], #JitendraKumar [superb], #AbhishekBanerjee [too good], #MohitMalik [first-rate], #RajeshTailang [wonderful], #PramodPathak [super], and #SushantSingh [flawless] – every actor gets his moments and leaves a lasting impression.

#RasikaDugal has an interesting part – and there's a twist – and she shines... #SonalChauhan does well, #SheebaChaddha is pitch-perfect as always, while #ShriyaPilgaonkar is competent.

Final word? Razor-sharp writing, killer dialogues, superb performances, high-voltage drama, and explosive action make this a treat for #Mirzapur fans – and a thoroughly engaging, crowd-pleasing ride even for those who haven't watched the series.

"Superhero fatigue" had better PR than half the movies it killed.

A guy in spandex is about to unseat Star Wars for the biggest domestic movie ever.

Which is it: peak cinema, peak nostalgia, or peak "I have kids and a credit card"?

#SpiderMan #BrandNewDay

[Luiz Fernando @Luiz_Fernando_J]

It’s DONE ✅
HISTORIC Brand New Day at US #BoxOffice, as #SpiderManBrandNewDay OFFICIALLY became in just 36 days fastest film - and only 2nd film EVER - to cross 900M mark, after #BrandNewDay grossed STRONG 3.9M on 6th FRI, just a -30.1% drop from last FRI (vs #Endgame’s 2.1M, -51.5%, #DeadpoolAndWolverine’s 3.7M, -25.2%), despite having lost -158 theatres yesterday!

It hits a 903.7M cume domestically, now over 93M ahead of Endgame at same point, despite having started just 3M ahead!

Eyeing a 16M-18M 6th 3-day weekend in the U.S!

‘SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY’ has spent a full month at #1 in the domestic box office.

The first film to do that since ‘TITANIC’.

[Writers Desk @Ripewriterrr]

Five months. Mutual statement. Please don't speculate.

That's the shortest script in the industry. They announced the ending before the story had a second act.

Hirani's still writing 3 Idiots 2. Same cast. Mid-life crisis, 20 years later.

A sequel that waits that long only works if the people aged, not the IP.

#3Idiots #Bollywood

[ANI @ANI]

#WATCH | Mumbai, Maharashtra: On the sequel to the film '3 Idiots', Director Rajkumar Hirani says, "We are working on it... Once it reaches the right stage, we will talk about it. The casting will be the same. Even when I made the sequel to 'Munna Bhai MBBS'—'Lage Raho Munna Bhai'—I had not originally intended to make one. If you recall, at that time, sequels had not really worked before that... I made it because the story fit the characters of the film... I never set out to write it specifically as a sequel. We were just writing the story when it struck me that it fit these characters perfectly—it was not about the sequel itself, but about the story... We will only proceed if the writing comes together properly..."

Saif ali khan cannot convince us that he is blind - Mohanlal did it with an ease. Saif acting as blind will decide the verdict of the box of office collection because that is where the emotion is, audience will not connect otherwise.

Nolan just did $1.55B with a 3-hour Homer movie. If your studio still thinks original stories don't sell, you're not in the movie business. You're in the sequel business.
