Raayan Becomes Dhanush’s Highest-Earning Film
The action-drama Raayan, directed by and starring Dhanush alongside Sundeep Kishan, was produced on a budget of approximately ₹90 crore. After 11 days in cinemas, it has already become Dhanush’s highest-earning film within 10 days of its release. The movie was released in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu languages, with Hindi collections totaling around ₹2 crore due to fewer screens. However, its earnings from Tamil and Telugu languages have been described as spectacular across both Indian and worldwide markets.
Raayan’s 11-Day Worldwide Collections
Raayan recorded an India net collection of ₹74 crore 84 lakh within its first nine days. On its 10th day, the film added ₹6 crore 65 lakh to its India net collection. Its 11th-day estimated All India net collection is approximately ₹3 crore. This brings Raayan’s cumulative 11-day India net collection to ₹84 crore 49 lakh, with an India gross collection of ₹100 crore 54 lakh, surpassing the ₹100 crore gross mark in India.

Auron Mein Kahan Dam Tha: A Box Office Disaster
The Bollywood romantic drama Auron Mein Kahan Dam Tha, directed by Neeraj Pandey and starring Ajay Devgn and Tabu, was made with a budget of ₹110 crore. The film has been deemed a complete disaster at the box office, marking it as one of the worst flops for a Bollywood film in the last 10-12 years. It suffered from a poor opening, failed to make significant earnings over the weekend, and completely collapsed during the weekdays.
Auron Mein Kahan Dam Tha’s Dismal Four-Day Collections
Over its opening three-day weekend (Friday, Saturday, Sunday), Auron Mein Kahan Dam Tha accumulated an India net collection of only ₹7 crore 5 lakh. On its fourth day, a Monday, the film’s occupancy was a mere 3-4%, with many morning shows canceled. It is estimated to have collected only ₹70 lakh in net collection on its fourth day. Consequently, its four-day total India net collection stands at ₹7 crore 75 lakh, with an India gross collection of ₹9 crore 22 lakh. The overseas market fared even worse, with total collections of only ₹2 crore 28 lakh. The film’s four-day worldwide box office collection is ₹11 crore 50 lakh, having earned just ₹11.5 crore globally. It is projected to achieve a final India net collection of only ₹15 crore and a total worldwide gross collection of possibly ₹20 crore, cementing its status as a disaster.
Double Smart Shankar Gears Up for Release Amidst Competition
The pan-India film Double Smart Shankar, directed by Puri Jagannadh and starring Ram Pothineni and Sanjay Dutt, is scheduled for release on August 15th. The film’s trailer has been released, promising a mass entertaining experience with strong comedy, action, and chemistry between the lead actors. Double Smart Shankar is expected to perform well in Telugu and other South Indian languages. The film faces significant competition in the Hindi market on August 15th, with several other Hindi films like Akshay Kumar’s Khel Khel Mein, Stree 2, Vedaa, and the South Indian movie Thangala also releasing. This competition may impact its screen count and potential earnings in the Hindi market. However, it is anticipated to achieve the highest opening day collections of Ram Pothineni’s career in South Indian languages.
Kalki Continues Strong Run After 40 Days
Superstar Prabhas’ film Kalki, which also features Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Kamal Haasan, and Disha Patani, has completed 40 days in cinemas.

Its screen count has increased again this week following the disaster performance of Ajay Devgn’s Auron Mein Kahan Dam Tha and Janhvi Kapoor’s Uljh. It is expected to make strong earnings in the Hindi market this week. Kalki has already become a blockbuster with record-breaking collections worldwide within its first 40 days.
Kalki’s Record-Breaking 40-Day Worldwide Collections
In 40 days, Kalki has amassed an estimated Hindi net collection of ₹295 crore, leading to a Hindi gross collection of ₹351 crore 50 lakh.
