Captivating Promo Highlights

The recently released promo has already sparked excitement, especially with the much-anticipated episode featuring Salman Khan and Aamir Khan sharing the couch. A playful moment shines in the promo as Twinkle lightheartedly teases Salman about his “stuck expression.”

Without missing a beat, Salman cleverly quipped, “I am only surviving on the three expressions still in date.” This self-deprecating humour had Kajol, Twinkle, and Aamir in fits of laughter, setting the stage for what promises to be an unmissable episode.

An Unfiltered Conversation

Kajol and Twinkle Khanna are renowned for their quirky and engaging personas. Their show aims to deliver a blend of fun, nostalgia, and a dash of chaos.

Viewers can expect a mix of candid confessions, insider stories, and plenty of laughter. Both Kajol and Twinkle have a knack for keeping things real, raw, and humorous through their social media interactions and public appearances.

A Breezy Bollywood Experience

With “Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle,” they aim to take the audience on a breezy, no-holds-barred journey into the lives of Bollywood’s biggest stars. During the show’s promo launch, Kajol shared her excitement about working with Govinda, noting, “I have to say that he (Govinda) was so super entertaining. I mean not to say that everybody was not nice or good, but Govinda is Govinda! Hands down, nobody can argue with that! He is a trend; he is an icon, all of it. I mean, everybody has their go-to Govinda dance song, and we can instantly think about it right now!”

This talk show promises to be a delightful escape, showcasing the lighter side of Bollywood through the lens of two beloved actresses.

With Navratri 2025 just around the corner, the excitement is palpable.

One track that is already capturing attention is “Julmi Sawariya.” This vibrant song features actor Divyenndu, widely recognized for his impactful performance in Mirzapur. Discussing his involvement in the song, Divyenndu, a Gujarati himself, expressed, “This song came as a pleasant surprise to me. When I heard it for the first time, I felt that this is something that should definitely be done.”

He continued, “Amit Trivedi has composed this song beautifully, and Bhoomi Trivedi has lent her vocals for the female parts. When I heard the song, it struck me that this is a song around Garba, and the Garba vibes are making it extremely exciting! I just felt that I should definitely do it. It is something new that I haven’t done before, and I knew it would be fun. Garba is celebrated with full pomp in Mumbai, and in Gujarat, the grandeur is beyond imagination.”

On the visual aspects, Divyenndu remarked, “It’s beautifully picturised; it looks like a film song. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The thing that excites me the most is experimenting with new things.” He emphasized the song’s universal appeal, highlighting the mischief and romance typical of Garba dances. “So, I am sure it will appeal to many people.”

Sharing the screen with Divyenndu is Charmee Zaveri, one of Bollywood’s rising stars who recently won hearts with her viral hit “Mashooqa.”

“Julmi Sawariya” is produced by Vibha Films and Hitendra Kapopara, co-produced by Piyush Jain, and released under the Saregama label. Directed and choreographed by Vijay Ganguly, the song features the captivating chemistry between Divyenndu and Charmee Zaveri, along with 100 dancers, and is penned by lyricist Kumaar.

Akshay Kumar’s comedy franchise Housefull 5 experienced a significant decline on its second day at the box office. After a solid opening day performance, the film saw a dramatic drop in collections on Saturday, raising concerns about its weekend trajectory. The unique dual-ending concept with Housefull 5A and Housefull 5B versions hasn’t been enough to sustain momentum.

Day-by-Day Collection Breakdown

Day	Collection (India Net)	Change
Day 1 (Friday)	₹24.00 crore	–
Day 2 (Saturday)	₹3.39 crore*	-85.9%
Total	₹27.39 crore	–

Note: Day 2 figures are live estimates from Sacnilk and may change

Strong Start Followed by Steep Decline

Housefull 5 had opened impressively on Friday, June 6, 2025, collecting ₹24 crore India net, making it the biggest opener in the franchise. The film surpassed Housefull 4’s opening day collection of ₹19.08 crore and also outperformed Akshay Kumar’s recent release Sky Force (₹11.50 crore) and Hrithik Roshan’s Fighter (₹22.50 crore).

However, Saturday brought disappointing news as early estimates suggest the film earned only ₹3.39 crore, representing a massive 85.9% drop from its opening day. This sharp decline indicates poor word-of-mouth and audience reception despite the film’s unique dual-ending gimmick.

Occupancy Trends Tell the Story

The occupancy rates reflect the film’s struggle:

Day 1 Occupancy:

• Morning Shows: 13.86%
• Afternoon Shows: 28.00%
• Evening Shows: 28.01%
• Night Shows: 45.65%
• Overall: 28.88%

Day 2 Occupancy:

• Morning Shows: 15.40%
• Overall: Significantly lower than Day 1

Dual Version Strategy Backfires

The film’s unique selling point of releasing two versions simultaneously – Housefull 5A and Housefull 5B with different endings – appears to have confused rather than attracted audiences. Housefull 5B recorded even lower occupancy rates at 8.29% on Saturday morning compared to the main version’s 15.40%.

Competition and Market Response

Despite being the biggest franchise opener, Housefull 5 is facing stiff competition from other releases. The film’s dramatic second-day drop suggests that audiences haven’t embraced the latest installment as warmly as previous entries in the series.

Weekend Outlook

With such a steep decline on Saturday, Housefull 5 will need exceptional performance on Sunday to salvage its opening weekend. The film, directed by Tarun Mansukhani and featuring an ensemble cast including Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, and Jacqueline Fernandez, may struggle to reach the ₹50 crore mark in its opening weekend if current trends continue.

The comedy franchise, known for its slapstick humor and star-studded cast, appears to have failed to strike a chord with audiences this time, despite the novelty of dual endings.

Ahmedabad: Popular singer Pawandeep Rajan, the winner of Indian Idol Season 12, was involved in a serious car accident in Ahmedabad in the early hours of Monday, May 5, 2025. According to reports, the crash occurred around 3:40 AM, leaving the singer critically injured.

Heartbreaking visuals of Pawandeep receiving medical treatment in a hospital have surfaced online and quickly gone viral. The video shows the singer visibly in distress and pain, with doctors attending to apparent injuries on his left foot and right arm. The exact circumstances surrounding the accident and Pawandeep’s current medical condition are still awaited, as neither the singer nor his family has released an official statement yet.

The news comes as a shock, especially as Pawandeep had just celebrated his birthday on April 27. Fans across the country have expressed deep concern and flooded social media platforms with prayers and well-wishes for his speedy recovery. Hashtags like #PrayForPawandeep are trending as supporters rally around the beloved musician.

Pawandeep Rajan became a household name after winning Indian Idol 12 in 2021, captivating audiences with his soulful voice and musical versatility. He defeated tough finalists including Arunita Kanjilal, Mohd Danish, Sayli Kamble, Nihal Tauro, and Shanmukha Priya to clinch the title, along with a car and a ₹25 lakh cash prize.

Hailing from Champawat district in Uttarakhand, Pawandeep comes from a family deeply rooted in music; his parents and sister are renowned Kumaoni folk artists. His musical journey began much earlier, winning The Voice India in 2015 as part of singer Shaan’s team, which included a ₹50 lakh prize and a car. He was even recognized as the ‘Youngest Tabla Player’ at just two years old. In 2021, he was appointed Uttarakhand’s Art, Tourism, and Culture Brand Ambassador.

As fans and the music industry await official updates, the focus remains on Pawandeep Rajan’s recovery from this tragic incident.

Ajay Devgn’s latest action-thriller Raid 2 experienced a significant slowdown at the box office on its third day (Saturday). After a strong opening day, the film saw a dip on Friday, and the early trends for Saturday indicate a further sharp decline in collections. The weekend performance will now be critical in determining the film’s overall success.

Raid 2 Day-by-Day Collection Breakdown

• Day 1 (Thursday): Raid 2 started strong, benefiting from high anticipation and possibly holiday factors, earning an impressive ₹19.25 crore India net. This strong opening surpassed initial collections of Ajay Devgn’s previous hits like Drishyam 2 and Shaitaan, and also outperformed competitors like Jaat.
• Day 2 (Friday): The film witnessed a predictable post-opening day drop, collecting ₹12.00 crore India net, marking a decrease of about 37.66% from Day 1. The total collection after two days stood at ₹31.25 crore.
• Day 3 (Saturday): Early estimates based on live data from Sacnilk suggest a sharp drop on the third day. As of their latest update, the film had earned around ₹1.06 crore India net for the day. Note: Sacnilk clearly states this is live data and not the final estimate for the day.

Raid 2 Total Collection So Far

Based on the daily collections, including the early estimates for Day 3, Raid 2‘s total India net collection after approximately three days stands at ₹32.31 crore.

Raid 2 Occupancy Trends

The box office trend is mirrored in the theatre occupancy rates. After a strong overall Hindi occupancy of 34.36% on Thursday, it fell to 19.23% on Friday. Saturday morning shows opened even lower at 12.04% Hindi occupancy, indicating reduced footfall.

Raid 2 Weekend Outlook

Despite the Day 3 dip, the film crossed the ₹30 crore mark within its first three days. Industry experts remain hopeful that collections will pick up over the remainder of the weekend (Saturday evening/night shows and Sunday). Reaching the ₹50 crore milestone by the end of its first weekend is seen as achievable if footfalls improve. The film’s performance over Saturday and Sunday will be crucial for its long-term sustainability at the box office.

Directed by Raj Kumar Gupta, Raid 2 also stars Vaani Kapoor, Riteish Deshmukh, and Saurabh Shukla in key roles

Emraan Hashmi’s action thriller Ground Zero has made a disappointing start at the box office on its opening day. According to early reports from Sacnilk, the film has earned approximately ₹0.29 crore India net on its first day. This figure represents a disastrous beginning for the Excel Entertainment production.

Opening Day Performance

The film’s poor performance was somewhat anticipated, as pre-release buzz remained minimal despite its compelling real-life story. Morning trends indicated that Ground Zero would struggle to cross the ₹1 crore mark on day one. The movie sold just over 4,000 tickets in the top three national chains (PVR Inox and Cinepolis) in final advance bookings.

Film business expert Rohit Jaiswal had predicted that the movie would collect between ₹70-90 lakhs on its opening day. However, the actual numbers appear to be even lower than these modest expectations.

Factors Affecting Performance

Several factors have contributed to Ground Zero’s underwhelming start:

1. The film faces stiff competition from holdover releases like Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh starring Akshay Kumar and Jaat featuring Sunny Deol.
2. It has also clashed with the re-release of the 1994 cult classic Andaz Apna Apna, which has returned to theaters after 31 years.
3. The release timing is unfortunate, coming just days after a shocking terror attack in Kashmir’s Pahalgam that reportedly claimed 26 civilian lives.

About the Film

Ground Zero is based on the true story of BSF officer Narendra Nath Dhar Dubey (portrayed by Emraan Hashmi), who led a crucial operation resulting in the elimination of terrorist Rana Tahir Nadeem, known as Ghazi Baba, in 2003. The film was made with a reported budget of ₹20-25 crore.

Directed by Tejas Prabha Vijay Deoskar and produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani, the film also stars Sai Tamhankar and Zoya Hussain in significant roles.

Future Prospects

With such a poor opening, Ground Zero will need exceptional word-of-mouth and strong holds over the weekend to recover. The film’s performance on Saturday and Sunday will be crucial in determining its overall box office fate. As things stand, it’s likely to become Emraan Hashmi’s second lowest opener in the post-COVID era after Chehre.
