Karthi’sSardar 2 advances have crossed the ₹2 Cr mark across India for tomorrow’s opening day. The Telugu version is driving strong momentum in the Telugu States, but the Tamil version hasn’t picked up the expected pace ahead of release.
Telugu States Lead Over Tamil Nadu
Soori’sMandaadi, also releasing tomorrow, currently leads advance bookings in Tamil Nadu markets. Meanwhile, Sardar 2 holds a clear advantage in the Telugu States, though the final advance sales could still shift before opening day shows begin.

Two highly anticipated Prabhas films, Fauzi and Spirit, are reportedly facing postponements from their announced release dates. Industry buzz over the past few days suggests both projects will now arrive in 2027, with production delays pushing the timelines for these eagerly awaited Prabhas films directed by Hanu Raghavapudi and Sandeep Reddy Vanga.
Fauzi Postponed from December 3rd
Fauzi was set to release on December 3rd, but the film still has a huge chunk of shooting days left to complete. The production schedule makes it difficult to meet the December deadline, leading to reports of the film now targeting the first half of 2027.
The period action drama, directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, has generated significant anticipation since its announcement. The teaser released on Prabhas' birthday added to the excitement among fans and trade circles.
Spirit Also Pushed to 2027
Spirit, featuring Prabhas under Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s direction, has also been postponed from its scheduled release date. The film is now reportedly targeting the second half of 2027, according to industry sources.
The Sandeep Reddy Vanga directorial has secured a massive Netflix deal, underlining the tremendous confidence in this collaboration. Given Vanga’s blockbuster success with Animal, expectations for Spirit are exceptionally high.
2027 to Feature Two Prabhas Films
With both Prabhas films now scheduled for 2027, the year promises to be significant for the pan-Indian superstar. Fauzi in the first half and Spirit in the second half could both potentially gross ₹1000 Cr, given Prabhas’ massive fan base and the star power of directors Hanu Raghavapudi and Sandeep Reddy Vanga.
The postponements mean 2026 has been a disappointing year for Prabhas, with The Raja Saabfailing to meet expectations despite the pre-release hype.
Dulquer Salmaan’s fantasy action thriller I'm Game emerges as a disappointing theatrical outing, crashing completely on weekdays after a mixed opening weekend. The film, directed by Nahas Hidhayath and produced by Dulquer Salmaan himself under Wayfarer Films, received mixed reviews and failed to sustain momentum at the box office.
Weekday Collections Show Sharp Decline
The I’m Game disappointing run continues with a dramatic drop on weekdays following an average first weekend. The 6-day All India tracked gross stands at ₹22.74 Cr, with actuals estimated closer to ₹26 Cr. Including overseas collections, the worldwide gross reaches around ₹43 Cr in six days.

Kerala Reception Turns Negative
In Kerala, I’m Game received an average opening and went downhill from the second day. While audiences appreciated the film’s first half, the second half received unanimously negative reactions from viewers. The fantasy thriller starring Antony Varghese, Mysskin, and Kayadu Lohar alongside Dulquer Salmaan couldn’t overcome the poor word-of-mouth.
Onam Release Could Have Helped
Overall, I’m Game registers as a disappointing box office result for Dulquer Salmaan. Several fans believe the film would have performed better had it arrived during the Onam festival window, which traditionally delivers stronger footfalls for Malayalam cinema. The weekday crash indicates the film failed to connect with the wider audience despite the star power.
Nani and Srikanth Odela’s The Paradise has delivered a phenomenal opening at the USA box office, crossing the $100K mark in premiere bookings within just 4 hours—despite advances opening only through the Cinemark chain.
Record-Breaking Start for Tier-2 Film
The tracked gross currently stands at $92K+ with occupancy levels exceeding 10%. This sensational pace in just hours of bookings going live has exceeded all expectations.
So far, no Tier-2 star film has managed $1M+ premieres in North America. The Paradise USA premieres look set to break that barrier comfortably and could even push towards $1.5M, which would be remarkable for a Tier-2 star—even major star films like Peddi finished at $1.56M.
Can It Touch $2M?
Everyone is now curious to see whether The Paradise can reach the $2M range. With more theater chains yet to open bookings, the film is on course for a super sensational start at the box office.
The Paradise is set for a huge premiere opening among Telugu films in North America. Premieres are scheduled for September 23rd.
Mirzapur: The Movie continues its impressive box office run, maintaining strong momentum in its first week of release. The crime action drama is proving its mettle with consistently solid collections across India.
Tuesday Collections Show Strong Hold
On Tuesday (Day 5), the film demonstrated excellent stability, showing a solid hold of over 90% of Monday’s collections. This is particularly noteworthy performance for the first weekday after the opening weekend, indicating strong audience interest and positive word-of-mouth.
The use of Tuesday’s discounted ticket rates in North multiplexes worked exceptionally well for the film, helping maintain occupancy levels during the crucial first week.
Mirzapur Run Crosses Major Milestones
The 5 Days All India Tracked Gross stands at ₹148.10 Cr, marking a strong trajectory for the film. With this momentum, Mirzapur: The Movie is all set to enter the prestigious 200 Cr gross club within the next few days.
The film had earlier crossed the 100 Crore milestone during its opening weekend, establishing itself as a massive commercial success. The consistent collections through the weekdays confirm its blockbuster status.
About The Film
Mirzapur: The Movie brings the popular web series to the big screen, directed by Gurmeet Singh and written by Puneet Krishna. The film features a stellar ensemble cast led by Ali Fazal, Pankaj Tripathi, Divyendu Sharma, Jitendra Kumar, and Ravi Kishan.
Produced by Excel Entertainment, the film released on September 4, 2026, and has been drawing audiences with its gripping crime drama narrative that continues the Mirzapur franchise story.
Fan Response and Second Weekend Ahead
Fans are actively sharing their favorite clips and scenes from the film across social media platforms, showcasing the loyal and solid fanbase that the Mirzapur web series has built over the years. This organic buzz is contributing to sustained interest in the theatrical release.
The real test now lies ahead with the second weekend performance. If the film can maintain similar holds, it will comfortably sail past the 200 Cr mark and establish itself as one of the major blockbusters of 2026.
