Bollywood’s Legendary Directors Missing From Screens — Here’s Who We Want Back ( Photo Credit – Wikimedia; Instagram )

Over the years, Bollywood has given us notable directors who brought unforgettable stories to life. Some gave us cult classics, while others delivered massive blockbusters. But for one reason or another, they stepped away from the big screen. It’s been far too long since we’ve seen their magic in theaters, and we can’t help but wonder what their next project might be. We’d love to see ten Bollywood directors make a glorious comeback.

1. Mansoor Khan

The Iit and MIT alumnus made a strong directorial debut with the iconic 1988 romantic drama, Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, starring Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla. He followed it up with the beloved sports drama Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander and the heartfelt marital drama, Akele Hum Akele Tum.

His last directorial venture was the Shah Rukh Khan...

High expectations were shouldered on Son Of Sardaar 2. The original 2012 film was a hit at the Indian box office. However, the streak of success could not be continued because Ajay Devgn’s sequel is dwindling at the ticket windows. It faced a drop despite the second Sunday boost, leaving little hope. Scroll below for the detailed day 10 report!

Son Of Sardaar 2 Box Office Collection Day 10

According to estimates, Son Of Sardaar 2 earned 3.38 crores on day 10. It was a Sunday, and the box office collection should have ideally been upward. However, Vinay Kumar Arora’s directorial saw a 15% fall compared to 4 crore accumulated on the second Saturday.

The net box office collection in India concludes at around 41.67 crores in 10 days. Including taxes, the gross total comes to 49.17 crores.

The motion poster of Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi’s Jolly Llb 3 has been dropped, and the official teaser of the comedy film will arrive on August 12. The first look of this poster hints that Akshay and Arshad are entering into an epic battle, and neither of them will back off!

Earlier, a hilarious rant session featuring the brilliant Saurabh Shukla reprising his role as Judge Tripathi was dropped by the makers, where he comically rants about the chaos caused by the two Jollys, Akshay Kumar’s Jolly Mishra and Arshad Warsi’s Jolly Tyagi, and pleads with the audience not to judge him for having to deal with them. The video has already established the core conflict for this double dose of courtroom fun.

Now, the motion poster sets the tone of Jolly Llb 3 further.

The young artist is elated to be a part of the music tour, calling it a dream come true to share the stage with one of India’s greatest musical legends.

This collaboration takes place nearly 30 years after her grandmother, Asha Bhosle, teamed with Rahman on the iconic Rangeela (1995) album. Zanai’s confidence is boosted by both legendary singers of the Indian music industry. She was left speechless when the opportunity came her way, yet she felt the weight of carrying Asha Bhosle’s remarkable legacy.

Son Of Sardaar 2 Box Office Collection Day 9(Photo Credit –Facebook)

Son Of Sardaar 2, starring Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur, entered the second week on an average note. Since the film isn’t enjoying good word-of-mouth, it was expected to show minimal growth over the second weekend. Surprisingly, it picked up really well on the second Saturday, day 9, and clocked a decent number at the Indian box office. But will this bounce-back save the film from an embarrassment? Let’s discuss it below!

The Bollywood comedy sequel was released amid high expectations, but it failed to make any impact. Since its predecessor scored over 100 crore net back in 2012, this one was expected to perform much better, and crossing the 100 crore mark was a minimum expectation. Unfortunately, it’s getting nowhere close to the century mark and trying its best to earn as much as possible before War 2 arrives.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu, starring Pawan Kalyan, Bobby Deol, and others, is on the verge of ending its theatrical run and will see the final push this weekend. This Thursday (August 14), War 2 and Coolie are arriving in theatres, and both these biggies will take away almost all screens in Telugu states, thus making things difficult for all other films running alongside. Even before they come, Pawan’s biggie isn’t showing any promising signs at the Indian box office. Keep reading for a detailed collection report of day 16!

Son Of Sardaar 2, starring Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur in the lead roles, entered its second week at the Indian box office on a dismal note. In the opening week, the film had a chance to score big and carve its path to success, but it failed to do so. In the first seven days, it amassed a disappointing total of just above 30 crores, and now, in the second week, it looks for a tragic finish. Keep reading for a detailed collection report of day 8!

Expectations were high because it was a sequel to a successful comedy film. Also, considering that Ajay was coming fresh from Raid 2‘s success, his latest release was expected to do well with audiences, but the content was panned by almost everyone. Both among critics and audiences, it received poor feedback.

The net collection in India is 315 crores, which is approximately 371.7 crores. Things will get further challenging for Saiyaara with the arrival of War 2 on August 14, 2025. But before that, Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda‘s romantic...

Ajay Devgn’s big sequel, Son Of Sardaar 2, saw an outright rejection from the audience during the opening week, resulting in a shockingly low number. Right from day 1, the numbers were underwhelming, and now, by the end of the week, the collection didn’t even cross 35 crore net at the Indian box office. Such numbers aren’t even suitable for the opening weekend, considering the momentum Ajay has been enjoying with sequels in the post-covid era. Keep reading for a detailed day 7 collection report!

It was expected to perform better during the opening weekend, but it fetched an underwhelming total. It’s hard to believe that the biggie earned less than 25 crores during the first weekend. Considering such a trend, there were low expectations on the first Monday, and that’s exactly what happened as the film faced a brutal drop of over 60%. Keep reading for a detailed collection report of day 4!

Fails to impress critics and audiences

Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora, the Bollywood comedy entertainer was released on August 1. It opened to mostly mixed to negative reviews from critics. Even among the ticket-buying audience, it has poor word-of-mouth.

The much-anticipated box office clash between Ajay Devgn’s action-packed sequel Son of Sardaar 2 and the romantic drama Dhadak 2 has taken a surprising turn. Contrary to expectations, it is the youthful love story that is drawing more audiences to the theatres.

Son of Sardaar 2 Crashes on First Monday

After a lukewarm weekend, Son of Sardaar 2 witnessed a steep decline in its Monday collections. Despite Ajay Devgn’s star power, the film managed to collect only ₹2.85 crore on its first Monday, taking its total to just over ₹17 crore in four days. Trade analysts are calling the numbers disappointing, especially for a franchise film with a known face like Devgn.

The film failed to excite audiences or generate strong word-of-mouth. Many viewers cited a weak storyline and outdated humour as major drawbacks. The action-comedy genre, which once worked for Devgn, seems to be losing its charm in this era of evolving audience taste.

Scroll below for the detailed day 3 report!

The only saving grace is the upward graph throughout the first weekend. According to estimates, Son Of Sardaar 2 earned 9.25 crores on day 3. However, it witnessed only 12% growth in the last 24 hours, as 8.25 crores were garnered on the previous day.

A film starring Ajay Devgn in the lead, and coming with the sequel benefit, should have at least touched double-digit numbers once in its opening weekend. Unfortunately, that is not the case here. The net collection in India has concluded at 24.75 crores after 3 days.

Son Of Sardaar 2 was expected to finally score a hit for Ajay Devgn in 2025.

Son Of Sardaar 2 Domestic Box Office Collection

The official figures have not been released. As per the estimates, Son Of Sardar 2 earned 7.50 crores on the opening day, followed by 8.50 crores on Saturday. This takes the overall net collection to 16 crores, which is approximately 18.88 crores in gross earnings!

Some movies entertain, and then some films confront. Shazia Iqbal’s Dhadak 2 belongs unapologetically to the latter. It unflinchingly presents the dark side of society and is relentless in its storytelling. No matter how advanced we become, the caste system is not just a social construct but a lived, violent reality. Keep scrolling to find out how Dhadak 2 speaks about and showcases the brutality of the caste divide like no other movie.

It is a stand-alone or spiritual sequel of Dhadak, which dealt with a similar story. The previous film had softened the caste angle, but the makers did not hold back this time. In an industry often driven by commerce and box office success, this sequel starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri is a punch in the gut. It does not beg for applause.

Keep reading for a detailed collection report of day 2!

Ajay Devgn’s film suffers due to mixed word-of-mouth

Released amid underwhelming buzz, the Son Of Sardaar sequel opened with disappointing numbers. It clocked an estimated 7.5 crores. After such a start, it was expected to see some turnaround on the first Saturday, but that didn’t happen since word-of-mouth has been mixed so far. With an average occupancy of 26% throughout the day, the film couldn’t do much.

After delivering a spine-tingling experience with Shaitaan, the makers are back with its sequel — and this time, the darkness runs deeper. Ajay Devgn, who starred in the first part alongside R Madhavan and Jyotika, is all set to return in Shaitaan 2, and early details suggest the story will take a shocking and unexpected turn.

Shaitaan 2 is being touted as the spiritual sequel to Shaitaan and continues its connection with the Gujarati film Vash, which inspired the first installment.
