Kartik Aaryan is not only ruling the silver screen but also making smart real estate investments. The actor has recently purchased a plush office in Andheri West, Mumbai, worth ₹13 crore. This comes just weeks after he invested in a plot in Alibaug worth ₹2 crore, strengthening his presence in the luxury property market.

Reports further suggest that the actor paid ₹7.8 million in stamp duty and ₹30,000 as registration fees. Andheri West, known for its high-end commercial and residential spaces, has become one of the most sought-after hubs for Bollywood stars and top businesses. Earlier, Kartik Aaryan grabbed headlines for purchasing land in The House of Abhinandan Lodha’s premium “Chateau de Alibag” project.

The actor reportedly bought a plot worth ₹2 crore in the star-favorite coastal town. In recent years, Alibaug has turned into a celebrity hotspot, with stars like Amitabh Bachchan investing in a 10,000 sq. ft. plot worth ₹10 crore and Kriti Sanon also acquiring land there. Kartik already owns a luxury flat in Juhu’s Siddhi Vinayak Building at the Presidency Co-operative Housing Society. Purchased in 2023, this 1,912 sq. ft. apartment is valued at ₹17.5 crore. The actor later leased the property in 2024 for ₹4.5 lakh per month, making it a high-value rental home in one of Mumbai’s most prestigious neighborhoods. On the work front, Kartik continues to enjoy back-to-back successes after “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2” and “SatyaPrem Ki Katha.” His upcoming film, “Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri,” featuring Ananya Panday, is slated for release on December 31, 2025.

PVR’s Aamer Bijli says animated films are working at box office as they are no longer considered ‘kids’ cartoons’

It has been a great year for animation in India. Animated features have broken the glass ceiling when it comes to box office collections in the country. International studios and franchises are tailoring their films to the country in some cases. This boom has largely been the result of a shift in how audiences perceive animated storytelling, believes PVR’s Aamer Bijli.

PVR’s Aamer Bijli talks about the state of animation in India ahead of the release of Shin Chan: Spicy Kasukabe Dancers.

In conversation with Hindustan Times, Aamer touches upon the success of some animated films at the box office, and also how the upcoming Shin Chan film can take it forward.

Why animation is suddenly working in India

Aamer Bijli, Lead Specialist – Innovation, Film Marketing, and Digital Programming at PVR INOX, has been an anime fan for years now. Hence, he is quick to praise the box office success of Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle. The anime has minted ₹65 crore in India. The previous record for an anime in the country was ₹9 crore.

Bijli says, “I think animation has been synonymous in India, especially with cartoons, for a very long time, which has really aided in limiting its acceptance, unfortunately. I was a massive fan of Pokémon, Beyblade, and Dragon Ball growing up. What I have realised is that the initial nostalgia really helps now. There are a lot of parents who are doubling down on that nostalgia by making their children watch all of these things for the first time. I think it’s only creating a newer and larger audience.”

But it’s not just anime that has succeeded in India recently. Mythological epic Mahavatar Narsimha exceeded all expectations by grossing over ₹300 crore worldwide, 10 times as much as any Indian animated film had made prior to that. Talking about its success, Bijli adds, “Mahavatar Narima relied on our roots. It embedded mythology with philosophical insights, and it also resonated with the collective identity of a story that we’re already familiar with. All of this drew the audiences to the cinemas.”

The Shin Chan movie’s India setting

In this climate, the Japanese animated film, Shin Chan: Spicy Kasukabe Dancers, is releasing in India. Shin Chan already enjoys a sizable fan base in India. And on top of that, this film sees the beloved character travel to India. Is the Indian setting a nod to the country’s growing popularity as a market for animation? “I’ve been asked that question a lot,” says Bijli, adding, “I feel that would be an honour if they thought to set something in India consciously. It sure seems like it from the trailer that it is a show specifically done for India. I think it also makes sense considering Shin Chan is one of India’s most-watched international animated IPs, and has an extreme nostalgia-driven loyalty amongst millennials and young adults. So I wouldn’t be surprised.”

You know the different markets I think different horses for different courses right there are a lot of films that do extremely well in the US that don’t translate as well in India and and you know we face it all the time in our distribution business where we bet on films certain you know that that we believe will perform really really well uh in the Indian market due to the trickle down effect from Hollywood but unfortunately that’s not always the case. So I just think that the consumer base is so different sometimes uh that um it doesn’t always translate directly.

Shin Chan: Spicy Kasukabe Dancers is being presented in India by PVR INOX Pictures in association with Japan’s TV Asahi. The film releases in India this Friday, September 26.

Kanye West ’In Whose Name?' Documentary Opens to Solid Box Office

Kanye West ’In Whose Name?’ Documentary Opens to Solid Box Office

by jummy84
written by jummy84

The box office numbers have arrived for the documentary In Whose Name? from filmmaker Nico Ballesteros, who was granted unvarnished access to Kanye West — now known as just Ye — in the six tumultuous years following his public embrace of conservative politics. The film opened to a limited release, screening at around 494 theaters nationwide. In its opening weekend, the film grossed $776,000, a strong domestic box office performance for a documentary without significant marketing behind it.

For comparison, the Oscar-winning doc No Other Land logged a cumulative $420,000 a month after opening in January, on its way to earning $2.4 million to date. It’s Never Over, the doc about Jeff Buckley, also saw opening numbers in the $420,000 range. Becoming Led Zeppelin, released in February, is 2025’s top-earning doc opening to over $2 million, though it screened internationally.

Clips from In Whose Name?, including one in which Ye explosively lashes out at Kris Jenner, have been circulating around social media for several days, as the film’s unfettered level of access presents a view of Ye that many fans have never seen. The film offers a behind-the-scenes view of some of his most controversial moments in recent years, most notably the aftermath of his White Lives Matter T-shirt and subsequent antisemitic Twitter tirade.

While In Whose Name? comes short of offering any explanations as to how Ye went from a beloved musical icon to effectively a social pariah, it does provide a clear view into the world of celebrity in our highly digitized and politicized age. The team behind the film hopes to screen it in more theaters in the coming months, as well as make the movie available on streaming platforms. Its strong first-week performance suggests there is, in fact, an audience hoping to decipher the mind of Ye all these years later.

The doc was executive produced by Patrick Hughes, Nick Jarjour, Amy Ann Singh, and Justin Staple. Attorney Simran Singh, who executive produced Selena: The Series, is also credited as a producer.

Editor’s note: A previous version of this article misstated the number of screens that carried the film.

Demon Slayer Sets Box Office Record as Him, Big Bold Beautiful Journey Flop Overseas

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Two new Hollywood releases, Universal’s sports thriller “Him” and Sony’s romantic drama “A Big Bold Beautiful Journey,” were outright rejected by overseas audiences.

“A Big Bold Beautiful Journey,” starring Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell as strangers whose meet-cute takes them on the journey of a lifetime, flopped at the international box office with $4.5 million from 45 markets. Meanwhile the Jordan Peele-produced “Him,” a disturbing mind-bender about a football player with aspirations to be the greatest of all time, fumbled even harder with $400,000 from 25 territories. Both films were saddled with terrible reviews and disappointing audience scores.

“Him” at least started stronger at the domestic box office with $13.5 million, boosting the film’s global tally to $13.86 million. It carries a modest $27 million production budget. Justin Tipping directed “Him,” which stars Marlon Wayans as an aging quarterback who trains a young up-and coming football player (Tyriq Withers) to chilling consequences.

“Sports themes do not travel well overseas, and the sport in this film — American football — is uniquely American in its popularity,” says analyst David A. Gross of Franchise Entertainment Research. “But the picture cost a reasonable $27 million to make, so it can cover its costs on domestic business alone.”

“A Big Bold Beautiful Journey,” however, crumbled in its North America debut as well with $3.5 million for a worldwide haul of $8 million. The film has yet to release in major markets like France, Italy and South Korea.

“The film should do better in foreign markets, but the production cost was high — that’s a big number to recoup,” Gross adds of “A Big Bold Beautiful Journey.”

Luckily Sony is riding high with “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle,” which just became the highest-grossing anime film ever with $555 million globally. The film is backed by Sony-owned Crunchyroll in North America, the United Kingdom and Brazil, as well as Toho and Aniplex in Japan and other Asian markets. “Demon Slayer” topped overseas charts again with $36 million from markets where Sony’s Crunchyroll is handling the rollout. So far the film has earned a total of $451 million internationally and $104 million domestically. “Infinity Castle” is the first in planned three-film series about a boy who becomes a demon slayer to avenge his family and find a cure for his sister who was turned into a demon.

Universal, meanwhile, had slightly better luck overseas with “Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale,” which added $8.3 million from 35 markets in its second weekend of release. The film, a continuation of the popular TV show, has generated $27.9 million overseas and $31.6 million domestically to date, bringing its global total to $59.5 million. The studio says those ticket sales are above 2022’s “Downton Abbey: A New Era” at the same point in its predecessor’s theatrical run. Neither film could reach the box office heights of the first cinematic feature, 2019’s “Downton Abbey,” which became a huge hit to the tune of $194.6 million globally.

Mirai has a massive weekend at the box office

As per the latest update on Sacnilk, Mirai collected ₹17.33 crore on its third day of release. This is higher than the previous day’s collection, proving that the film has managed to show good growth on Sunday. Mirai collected ₹13 crore on Friday and went on to have a good Saturday with ₹15 crore. The total box office collection of the film now stands at ₹45.33 crore.

Mirai had an overall 31.38% Hindi Occupancy on Sunday. The film is already performing better than Teja’s 2023 hit HanuMan, which also collected ₹ 16 crore on its third day.

About Mirai

Mirai tells the story of a young man named Vedha (Teja) who is destined to become a super Yodha (warrior) and fight off evil. Mahabir Lama, aka the Black Sword (Manoj), is looking for the nine grandhas (texts) left behind by Emperor Ashoka to gain power. Vedha goes on a journey to find a weapon used by Lord Ram called Mirai to defeat Mahabir and protect the grandhas before it’s too late. The film ends up setting up the story for a sequel.

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma hailed the film in his X account on Sunday, and congratulated the cast and crew on its success. He said, “After seeing #Mirai , I don’t remember the last time VFX felt so grand, even in the so called + 400 cr films. Hey @HeroManoj1 I thought you were miscast as the villain, and I slapped myself after seeing your terrific portrayal. Hey @tejasajja123 I thought you might look too young to carry such large scale action and I was double wrong.”

Kaantha Release Pushed As Lokah Continues Its Box Office Rampage

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Fans of Dulquer Salmaan will have to wait a little longer to catch him in Kaantha. The film, which was initially marked for a September 12 theatrical debut, has officially been postponed. The decision, according to the makers, comes in light of the phenomenal response to Lokah: Chapter 1 – Chandra, which has been packing theatres since its release.

In a statement, the team thanked audiences for the overwhelming love showered on the teaser of Kaantha. They admitted the encouragement drives them to deliver a cinematic experience worth the wait. For now, however, they prefer to let Lokah continue its triumphant run at the box office before unveiling their next big story. A revised release date is expected to be announced soon.

Inside the World of Kaantha

Directed by Selvamani Selvaraj, Kaantha transports viewers to 1950s Madras. At its heart lies a turbulent relationship between a filmmaker and his lead actor, promising a narrative that blends personal conflict with period detail. The film is said to carry shades of both psychological drama and slow-burn suspense, setting it apart from standard commercial fare.



Cast and Crew

Alongside Dulquer, who also serves as co-producer with Rana Daggubati, the film stars Samuthirakani and Bhagyashri Borse in prominent roles. The project also brings together an impressive technical team: Jhanu Chanthar on music, Dani Sanchez-Lopez as cinematographer, and Llewellyn Anthony Gonsalvez in charge of editing. With such names on board, expectations are high for a film that balances aesthetic finesse with emotional heft.

What the Postponement Means

For audiences, the delay is a double-edged sword. While anticipation is bound to stretch further, it also signals the makers’ confidence in Kaantha as a premium product deserving its own spotlight. Strategically, postponing the release allows Dulquer’s production outfit to avoid competing with itself, ensuring that Lokah continues to thrive while keeping Kaantha fresh in the conversation.

The teaser has already sparked curiosity with its textured visuals and intriguing premise. And with Dulquer at the centre of both the performance and production fronts, Kaantha now carries an even greater sense of build-up. The only question that remains is when audiences will finally get to experience its vintage Madras world on the big screen.
