When Raj Babbar Recalled Wife’s Reaction To His Relationship With Smita Patil(Photo Credit –Facebook/Instagram)

Raj Babbar was a part of many critically acclaimed and commercially successful films between the 1980s and 1990s. However, his personal life made more noise, thanks to his controversial relationship and subsequent marriage with the late Smita Patil. Their union was one of a fiasco because Babbar was already married to Nadira Zaheer when he had fallen in love with Patil.

How Did Raj Babbar Fall In Love With Smita Patil?

The Fashion actor was impressed with Patil at the first sight while working with her in the 1982 film, Bheegi Palkein. They also had an endearing clash which only laid the foundation of a relationship. According to Bollywood Shaadi, he revealed in a throwback interview with a publication, “I met her for the first time in Rourkela in Orissa, where we had gone...

Sikandar Ott Verdict (Week 2)(Photo Credit – Instagram)

Salman Khan’s action-packed movie Sikandar had an underwhelming run at the box office but has finally arrived on Netflix. It has been in Netflix’s global top 10 list for two consecutive weeks but dropped to the bottom in week 2. Keep scrolling for more.

The movie was directed by Ar Murugadoss and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. Salman and Sajid have collaborated for over a decade since 2014’s Kick. The film’s cast comprised Rashmika Mandanna, Kajal Aggarwal, Sharman Joshi, Sathyaraj, Jatin Sarna, Sanjay Kapoor, Prateik Babbar, and Kishore.

Sikandar Ott Verdict Week 2

Sikandar registered the third-best debut of the year on the streaming platform Netflix, behind Jewel Thief and Pushpa 2. Salman Khan’s film generated 5.1 million views in its debut week, securing the #3 spot. However, it fell flat in week 2 in Netflix‘s weekly global top 10 chart. For the week of June 2-...

When Hit: The Third Case (or Hit 3) opens with Nani’s (The Natural actor) Sp Arjun Sarkaar behind bars, calmly narrating his story to a fellow inmate, we sense something is off — not just with the man, but with the system he once served. What follows is a brooding and blood-soaked descent into one of the darkest chapters of the Hit universe, where justice doesn’t always wear a uniform and truth often hides behind layers of pain. Directed by Sailesh Kolanu, this third installment in the Homicide Intervention Team series trades clean police procedure for psychological chaos, exploring how far a cop can go before he becomes indistinguishable from the criminals he hunts.

Now that the dust has settled and the final blood has dried, it’s time to unravel what really happened — who Arjun killed and why, who the shadowy Ctk cult truly is, what Acp Dhanya Mohan...

Written and directed by Sailesh Kolanu, Hit: 3 works tirelessly to make sure that Nani, the protagonist, is portrayed as the deadliest super cop, but in the process they forget that without a good script and execution, nothing could save their cause. I felt the creators had an idea about what they wanted to do, but they were not able to execute it properly. Also, they dealt with the main plot on such a superficial level that I was never really able to connect with the characters. The idea of a religious cult running an organ trafficking syndicate had some potential, but the creators wasted the opportunity. I have always believed a protagonist is only as good as his nemesis. Prateik Babbar’s character was reduced to being so gimmicky that it made the entire narrative look quite frivolous. That said, let’s find out what happened in the film and...

Hit 3 Box Office Collection Day 23 ( Photo Credit – YouTube )

Hit: The Third Case, aka Hit 3, managed to emerge as a clean success at the Indian box office but couldn’t cover a longer distance. The film had immense potential, but it will soon wrap up its theatrical run as just a decent success story. Though it’s another significant addition to his filmography for Nani, he clearly missed a shot at the 100 crore club this time. Keep reading for a detailed collection report of day 23!

Backed by the brand value of the Hit Universe and Nani’s rising stardom, the film had good pre-release buzz. Due to this, it managed to register a smashing start. However, afterward, it failed to maintain the momentum. After the opening week, the biggie saw much bigger drops than expected, thus facing limitations in its journey to earn big.

Hit 3 Worldwide Box Office Day 15: Just A Few Crores Away From Becoming Nani’s No.1 Grosser(Photo Credit –Instagram)

Hit: The Third Case, aka Hit 3, has performed well so far at the worldwide box office. After a strong start, the film failed to maintain the required momentum, but it has still done enough to become a success. For Nani, the action thriller has already become his second highest-grossing film by surpassing Eega’s 100.85 crores, and now, it needs just a few crores to grab the top spot.

In India, the Hit threequel had a solid opening week. Released amid mixed reviews, it clocked 63.50 crores during the 8-day extended opening week. However, during the second week, the film suffered a significant blow. It failed to maintain the stronghold, and new releases, particularly Single,...

Decoding The Cameos In Hit 3 (Photo Credit – Instagram)

The Nani starrer crime-thriller flick, Hit 3 was released on May 1, 2025. While the movie has been garnering fairly positive reviews from the critics and masses alike, it has also been making waves for some exciting cameos which have left fans wanting for more. With a heads-up of the spoilers that lie ahead, here’s decoding the cameo appearances in the film.

One of the cameos that has been leaving fans in a frenzy since the release of the film is that of Adivi Sesh as Sp Krishna Dev (Kd) from Hit Hyderabad. For the unversed, Kd was the protagonist in Hit 2, which had also received a positive response from the fans. His cameo appearance comes at a crucial point in the film after Nani’s Arjun Sarkaar is surrounded by the members of the serial killing cult Ctk headed by Alpha...

Hit 3 Ending Explained(Photo Credit –Instagram)

Nani’s crime flick Hit 3 was released into the theatres yesterday (May 1). The movie is the third installment of the Hit franchise, which has been helmed by Sailesh Kolanu. Here is a major spoiler alert for you as we decode the ending of the film and what to look forward to in the fourth part.

Hit 3 Ending Explained

The ending of Hit 3 involves Nani’s Arjun Sarkaar locking horns with a serial killer cult that uses the medium of dark web to flaunt their actions to the world. The cult is led by a psychopathic Alpha (Prateik Babbar). Not only does the cult Ctk take pride in killing innocent souls but they are also involved in an organ trading racket with a powerful pharma company.

We see Arjun enter the cult’s meeting place at an old Burmese Palace in Arunachal Pradesh,...

What’s Good: Nani’s striking performance, action sequences, background score, cinematography, gripping narrative

What’s Bad: The antagonist lacks the needed intensity, the serial killing cult storyline falters in the second half, the supporting star cast fail to create a very strong impact.

Loo Break: The film is too gripping to take one during the course of the movie so let that be during the interval.

Subhash K Jha takes a look back at 2011’s Dum Maaro Dum, directed by Rohan Sippy and starring Abhishek Bachchan, Bipasha Basu, Rana Daggubati, Prateik Babbar, and Aditya Pancho in a new installment of This Day That Year. He also shares how the makers of the action film shocked, angered, and hurt Dev Anand.

Welcome to the Other Goa. The one that we don’t see in Hindi cinema. Unless we look really hard and come up with Pankaj Parasher’s Jalwa 24 years ago, there, too, Goa became the scene of a watchable drug-busting drama. In Rohan Sippy’s Dum Maaro Dum(Dmd), the characters in Goa are constantly up to something self-destructive. You really can’t afford to take your eyes off the screen as the lives of three unlikely ‘heroes’ — one a redemptive cop, the other a student who sells his soul for a scholarship, and the third...

Sikandar Box Office Collection Day 22 ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Salman Khan’s arrival on Eid 2025 was expected to be one of the biggest box office affairs in Bollywood. Unfortunately, our hopes came crashing down as Sikandar remained underwhelming from the word go. It is still adding footfalls on the lower end. But there’s good news, as it has surpassed the lifetime of Stree. Scroll below for day 22 collections!

Minimal growth in the third weekend

There isn’t much hope left for Ar Murugadoss‘ directorial at the box office. In fact, whatever minimum is being added is only a bonus. On day 22, Sikandar showed growth due to the weekend boost. It added 13 lakhs to the kitty, witnessing a jump of 44% compared to 9 lakhs earned on the previous day.

It earned an estimated total of 28 lakhs on the third weekend, which is simply disappointing for a Salman Khan film. However, the overall box office collections,...

In the Indian film industry, replete with larger-than-life action entertainers, laugh-out-loud comedy films, and of course, the charming rom-coms, movies which belong to the more serious courtroom-drama genre are surprisingly very few. Despite the fact that some of the most engaging sequences and nail-biting thrillers have been filmed within a courtroom setup. Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh starring Akshay Kumar and R. Madhavan, which was released in theatres yesterday, has received rave reviews from critics and viewers alike.

Box Office: John Abraham’s The Diplomat Scores Higher Than Salman Khan’s Sikandar On Good Friday (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Yesterday, on the occasion of Good Friday, only one noteworthy film from Bollywood was released in theatres. Akshay Kumar, R Madhavan, and Ananya Panday’s Kesari Chapter 2 arrived in theatres. Sunny Deol’s Jaat entered its second week, and there are some leftovers in the form of Salman Khan’s Sikandar and John Abraham’s The Diplomat. Let’s find out how the latter two fared at the Indian box office on Good Friday holiday!

Good Friday has never been a big occasion for Bollywood, but since it’s a holiday, strong footfall was expected in theatres. Unfortunately, none of the Bollywood releases that are running in theatres made full use of this auspicious occasion. Among the leftovers, there was minimal movement at ticket windows, but an interesting thing happened.

Smita Patil is still celebrated as one of the most accomplished actresses of Indian cinema. Such was her professionalism that she had once shot for a grueling dance sequence despite being pregnant. Yes, you heard that right! While shooting for the 1987 dance film, Dance Dance opposite Mithun Chakraborty, Smita had informed the cast and crew about her pregnancy.

Smita Patil’s Exemplary Dedication Towards Her Work

According to Bollywood Shaadi, Smita Patil was so committed to her craft, that she refused to take a maternity leave since that would affect the scheduling of the film. Not only this but the Namak Halal actress also shot for a dance track despite her condition. An industry veteran who witnessed the same had shared about the same with an entertainment portal.

Sikandar Worldwide Box Office Day 5 Update! (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Salman Khan starrer Sikandar may have opened to mixed reviews, but the star power is showing its magic. It has entered the 100 crore club in both the domestic and international regions. Just not that, Bhaijaan will soon surpass the lifetime collections of his last Eid release, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. Scroll below for the worldwide update on day 5.

Hits a century in India

The Eid holidays are over, and the box office collections are gradually dipping. But Sikandar has managed to enter the 100 crore club in 5 days of its domestic run. It stands at 105.20 crores net, which is around 124.13 crores in gross earnings.

Half-century incoming at the overseas box office

In the international circuit, Sikandar is slow but steady. In 5 days, it has minted 45.65 crores gross. It is the second highest-grossing Bollywood grosser of 2025 overseas. The action thriller previously...

Salman Khan’s new film, Sikandar, has been in the spotlight for its box office results. After a solid opening weekend, the movie experienced a notable decline on its fourth day.

Reports indicate that Sikandar has earned Rs 138 crore globally in its first four days. It kicked off with a strong Rs 49 crore on its opening day, followed by Rs 43 crore on Day 2 and Rs 32 crore on Day 3.

However, the film took a significant hit on Day 4, bringing in just Rs 14 crore. This brings the total worldwide gross for Sikandar to Rs 138 crore, with Rs 96 crore from domestic markets and Rs 42 crore from international audiences.

Directed by Ar Murugadoss, Sikandar features a cast that includes Rashmika Mandanna, Sathyaraj, Prateik Babbar, and Sharman Joshi. While the film is on track to reach the Rs 150 crore milestone soon, it remains uncertain whether it will hit the Rs 200 crore mark globally.

Here’s...

Sikandar Worldwide Box Office Day 4: Soon To Beat Akshay Kumar’s Sky Force (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Sikandar, starring Salman Khan, Rashmika Mandanna, and others, has undoubtedly underperformed a big time in India and overseas. Still, it has amassed a decent total at the worldwide box office by crossing the 150 crore mark in just 4 days. Now, it is just inches away from beating Akshay Kumar’s Sky Force and becoming the second highest-grossing Bollywood film in 2025. Keep reading for a detailed global collection report!

Sikandar pulls off a decent total!

Before the release, expectations were sky-high, but when actuals came in, everyone was shocked. On the opening day, the Bollywood magnum opus earned 54.72 crore gross globally. Since reviews and word-of-mouth were not in favor, the film was expected to crash badly, but that didn’t happen.

Due to the Eid holiday, Sikandar earned 51.17 crore gross on the second day. On Tuesday,...

Salman Khan’s new film, Sikandar, has made over Rs 40 crore in international markets within its opening three days. Directed by Ar Murugadoss, this action drama has had a solid start at the box office.

Reports indicate that Sikandar debuted with Rs 20 crore (Usd 2.35 million) on its first day, including preview screenings. It then earned Rs 11.50 crore (Usd 1.35 million) on Day 2 and Rs 6.35 crore (Usd 0.75 million) on Day 3, bringing its three-day total to Rs 37.80 crore (Usd 4.45 million).

The film is on track to reach the Usd 5 million milestone by the end of its opening week. However, given the lukewarm response, it seems likely that Sikandar will finish its international run below Rs 60 crore (Usd 7 million), which would be disappointing for a Salman Khan film.

In total, the movie has grossed around Rs 124 crore globally in just three days, with Rs 86.50 crore coming from domestic markets alone. It is expected to...

Eid 2025 has brought a delightful surprise for Salman Khan fans, as the beloved star makes his return to theaters with his new film, Sikandar. Directed by A R Murugadoss, this romantic action thriller has captured the attention of audiences around the globe, bolstered by a talented cast that includes Prateik Babbar, Sathyaraj, Kajal Aggarwal, and Sharman Joshi.

After a year and a half away from the silver screen, Salman Khan’s comeback in Sikandar has generated a lot of excitement. His first-time collaboration with Rashmika Mandanna has particularly intrigued viewers, creating a buzz about their on-screen chemistry. Leading up to the release, the film’s trailers and music had already ignited enthusiasm among fans, and the extensive promotional efforts showcasing the fresh pairing of Salman and Rashmika heightened anticipation.

Although the film had a grand opening, its box office performance has been a bit slower than anticipated. It kicked off...

Bollywood films usually don’t have their premieres in the overseas market, and very few have gone through this practice.

For Salman Khan, it is his second film to have premiere shows at the North American box office after Tiger 3. Unlike Tiger 3, the magnum opus posted low numbers. Keep reading for a detailed report!

Salman enjoys a good fan base in the overseas market, with North America (USA and Canada) being one of his strong territories.

Sikandar Box Office Review: Pre-Release Buzz & Expectations

The post-pandemic phase has been tough for all Salmaniacs to deal with, and the reason is known to everyone. One after another, Salman Khan delivered flops, and the superstar, once known as the box office emperor, is struggling to find his form. Out of all the failures, films like Radhe and Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan hurt fans the most due to their poor reputation. Unfortunately, Sikandar, too, is ready to join the list. But things were never like this when the film was announced.

Remember the first look of Salman Khan from Sikandar’s sets breaking the internet? Seeing him alongside Ar Murugadoss raised high hopes among everyone,...

Sikandar (Salman Khan) goes by many names, starting from Sanjay, Rajasaab, Bhaijaan, Radhe, Yuvraj Vijay Singh, and all the character names that you can immediately think of from his previous films. He plays the same old hunky action hero with a swag without much intervention in terms of his acting or dancing skills or the demands of the plot. He repeats himself to the point that it becomes a defining quirk of his character, registering an obsessive nature over his style against any narrative logic. Here too, his iconic bracelet makes an appearance, in a fist-fight that is situated inside a private airplane. The punches do land, and the wrongdoer is immediately brought to his knees.

It goes without saying that Salman Khan’s kicks are as impactful as ever. But in “Sikandar” (2025), the action sequences seem to be directly in competition with the songs in a Bollywood movie—they...

What’s Good: Background score, the core message of the film, some of the action sequences.

What’s Bad: The film falls flat enormously in the second half owing to loopholes in the plot and a shoddy screenplay, Salman Khan’s screen presence is fiery but his performance appears to be monotone, performances of the supporting star cast are not strong, and illogical sub-plots, the final showdown is not engaging enough.

Loo Break: Can opt for one in the songs or in the second half, it might not result in a great loss.

Watch or Not?: Salman Khan fans can give this one a try but it might be a missed opportunity even for them.

Sikandar Early Reviews: Salman Khan’s Film May Suffer Due To Bad Reviews! ( Photo Credit – YouTube )

Salman Khan and Ar Murugadoss have delivered their labor of love, Sikandar today. The Eid 2025 release witnessed good pre-release hype, but the early reviews are not positive. Netizens on X/Twitter are calling the Rashmika Mandanna co-starrer a lackluster. Scroll below for the latest updates!

Salman Khan arriving on Eid is a grand festival in itself for his massive fan base. The action thriller was expected to break all his previous records and surpass Tiger 3 (44.50 crores) to score the biggest opening of his lifetime. Unfortunately, the advance booking was not upto the mark, and now the early reviews are also worrisome.

Read our first half review of the Salman Khan starrer Sikandar ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

We are done with the first half of the Salman Khan starrer Sikandar and the first half is an emotionally high octane ride. The entertainment quotient remains high with a fine balance of romance, action and emotions. Salman manages to shine especially in the emotional scenes showcasing a more vulnerable side to his performance.

The plot revolves around Sanjay Rajkot aka Sikandar (Salman Khan), the king of the Rajkot dynasty who is happily married to Saisri Rajkot (Rashmika Mandanna). However, despite their happy marriage, Sanjay is often unable to give her time due to his other commitments. On the other hand, he earns the ire of a politician Pradhan (Sathyaraj) after beating up his son Arjun (Prateik Babbar) inside a plane. When a tragedy turns his life upside down, Sanjay tries to redeem himself for not...

Sikandar, starring Salman Khan is getting ready to storm the box-office on March 30th. The, probably needless to say but highly anticipated action drama, directed by Ar Murugadoss, also features Rashmika Mandanna, Sharman Joshi, Kajal Aggarwal, Suniel Shetty, Sathyaraj, and Prateik Babbar, among others.

Besides being a man bent on righting wrongs, Sikandar is also at its core a love story. Talking about the essence of Salman and Rashmika’s prem kahaani in Sikandar, the director said, “Here, there’s an element of love that will move the audience. Sikandar has that surprise element—an intense, husband-wife story at its heart.”

Adding, “It explores how families function today, how couples treat each other, and what we might be missing in our relationships. That will be the highlight of the film. Though it is a commercial film, it has a beautiful message.”

Showcasing that love story is newly released song ‘Hum Aapke Bina’. Composed by Pritam,...

But where could it possibly stand among the highest day 1 collection of 2025 in Indian cinema? Scroll below for a detailed analysis!

Sikandar Box Office Day 1 Potential

As far as advance booking is concerned, Ar Murugadoss’ directorial is underperforming so far. It has only sold tickets worth 6 crores gross (excluding blocked seats). But the makers are now selling tickets at discounted prices, which is expected to boost the sales.

Sikandar had the potential to cross 50 crores on its opening day and record the biggest Eid release for Salman Khan. Given the current pace, it looks like it will be challenging to cross the 40 crore mark unless there’s...

Subhash K Jha gives his thoughts on the trailer that was just released today.

The trailer of S S Murugadoss is exactly what we expect it to be. Noisy and pointless. But why is Rashmika Mandanna not speaking in her voice? Could it be on account of her Southern twang not being appreciated in Chhaava?

In all fairness, I hope some of her blockbuster status rubs off on Sikandar. It is evident from the trailer that it needs all the luck in the world. There is nothing here that we haven’t seen before….or would like to see in our movie entertainment. Salman Khan wants to cleanse our society of corruption. This time,...

We also got glimpses of the supporting cast. Rashmika Mandanna is a breath of fresh air, making us smile wide every moment she’s on the screen as Saisri.

As far as the mainstream cinema is concerned, she made her first big break with the help of Salman Khan in Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya?

Rumored Trailer Release Date

As per multiple online reports, the trailer of Salman Khan’s Sikandarbe released either on March 23 or 24. This means the makers will be unveiling the final promo around a week before the big release. It is indeed a huge risk as the reception will majorly determine the advance booking trends.

As per the ongoing trends, Sikandar could become the biggest Eid opener for Salman Khan by surpassing Bharat’s 42.30 crores. If the pre-release buzz is high, it could very well hit the double century and go beyond that!
