With ₹ 84.25 crore in pockets, Badhaai Ho keeps soaring high at BO

Ayushmann Khurrana and Sanya Malhotra’s latest film Badhaai Ho, helmed by Amit Ravindernath Sharma, has struck gold at the box-office. Made on a shoestring budget of ₹ 22 crore, including P&A, the family drama raked in ₹ 84.25 crore by the end of its second weekend.

Badhaai Ho rocked up ₹ 3.40 crore on its second Friday, followed by ₹ 6.60 crore on Saturday, and a whopping ₹ Rs 8.15 crore on Sunday, taking its weekend total to ₹ 18.15 crore, which is commendable for a film made on tight investments. After posting a total of ₹ 84.25 crore by the end of its second weekend, the movie is now gearing up fast to enter the coveted club of ₹ 100 crore.


The film is expected to pull in ₹ 100 crore even before entering the third weekend. After clocking ₹ 100 crore, Badhaai Ho will become actor Ayushmann Khurrana’s first film in the much sought-after club. It is his fourth consecutive success after Bareilly Ki Barfi (2017), Shubh Mangal Saavdhan (2017) and Andhadhun (2018).

Badhaai Ho had released alongside the Parineeti Chopra and Arjun Kapoor starrer Namaste England on 18th October. While the former has hit the jackpot at the ticket window, the latter could not scare up any moolah at the cash counter and has been ousted from all theatres across India.

Besides Ayushmann Khurrana and Sanya Malhotra, Badhaai Ho also stars Neena Gupta, Surekha Sikri and Gajraj Rao in prominent roles.

Why is Gen-Z laughing at ‘Little Britain’? A closer look at the show’s most offensive jokes

More than two decades after Little Britain first aired, a new audience is discovering the controversial sketch show but not on BBC or Netflix. Instead, Gen-Z has resurrected it on TikTok, where short clips featuring outrageous characters and catchphrases have racked up millions of views. The twist? Many of these viral clips are the very ones that got the show pulled from streaming platforms in 2020.

Created by Matt Lucas and David Walliams, Little Britain was a defining comedy of the 2000s. It won awards, ran across multiple seasons, and even spawned a spin-off, Come Fly With Me. But as societal standards around race, sexuality, and disability evolved, the show came under fire for jokes that many now see as not just outdated but outright offensive.

Hayden Christensen confirms return as Anakin Skywalker in 'Ahsoka' season 2

After much speculation, Hayden Christensen has confirmed he’s returning as Anakin Skywalker in the second season of Ahsoka. The actor made the announcement during the Star Wars Celebration event in Tokyo, sharing his enthusiasm about revisiting a version of Anakin that fans haven’t fully explored in live-action, the Clone Wars-era Jedi, before his fall to the dark side.

Christensen said that bringing this version of Anakin to life has long been something he and Star Wars creator George Lucas had hoped to explore on screen. The new season, which starts filming next week, will give fans a deeper look at that chapter of the character's life, though details about his exact role remain under wraps.

'Kesari Chapter 2' opens to mixed reviews as Akshay Kumar takes on colonial injustice in court

Released on April 18, Kesari Chapter 2 steps into theatres with a heavy subject on its shoulders: the Jallianwala Bagh massacre and the courtroom fight that followed. Headlined by Akshay Kumar, alongside R. Madhavan and Ananya Panday, the film has drawn mixed reactions from viewers, with some calling it powerful and others labelling it sluggish.

Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi and backed by Dharma Productions, the film moves away from the battlefield narrative of its 2019 predecessor. Instead, it follows the legal efforts of C. Sankaran Nair, played by Akshay Kumar, who challenged the British Empire after the 1919 tragedy. R. Madhavan plays opposing counsel Neville McKinley, while Ananya Panday surprises many with a restrained, serious performance as Dilreet Gill.
