Box Office: Maa scores good results in opening weekend, Kajol starrer collects Rs 17.25 crore in 3 day
Maa, starring Kajol in the lead role, is holding up well at the box office. The mytho-horror drama, directed by Vishal Furia, has met with mixed bag reactions, but managed to impress with its folklore and horror factor. Maa clocks Rs 6.50 crore on Day 3, approaches Rs 20 crore mark Bankrolled by Devgn Films and Panorama Studios, Maa debuted with Rs 4.75 crore on its debut day. The movie further witnessed a good jump of 26% and collected Rs 6 crore on Day 2. As per estimates, the mytho-horror drama saw another jump of 10% today and added Rs 6.50 crore to the tally. The total three-day cume of Maa now stands at Rs 17.25 crore net at the Indian box office. Though this is an impressive figure for a Kajol starrer, the movie could have performed much better had it opened to superlative word-of-mouth. Moreover, one cannot ignore that the makers lured the audience with a BUY-TWO-GET-ONE-FREE offer on the tickets. The real test of Maa will begin from Monday onwards. If the movie manages to hold well and register a reasonable drop, it can see a long run at the box office. Maa faces tough competition from Sitaare Zameen Par and F1 (Formula One) Though Maa had better screens than Brad Pitt's F1 (Formula One), it still remained behind. The Kajol starrer also faced a major dent by Aamir Khan's holdover release, Sitaare Zameen Par, which witnessed a 100% growth from its second Friday to second Saturday. It will be interesting to see how Maa performs further on the weekdays. It will have a new competition from next weekend onwards as Anurag Basu's romantic drama, Metro…In Dino, is slated to hit the screens on July 4th. Box Office collection of Maa is as follows: Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more. Disclaimer: The box office figures are compiled from various sources and our research. The figures can be approximate, and Pinkvilla does not make any claims about the authenticity of the data. However, they are adequately indicative of the box-office performance of the films in question.

Sanvikaa On Her 'Unsaid Chemistry' With Jitendra; Varun Dhawan Urges Media To Respect Privacy
Last Updated: Sanvikaa spoke about her chemistry with Jitendra in Panchayat, while Varun Dhawan urged the media to handle a celebrity's final journey with dignity and sensitivity. Pooja Singh, who goes by her stage name Sanvikaa, has quietly but powerfully etched her presence in the hearts of viewers with her portrayal of Rinki in Prime Video's Panchayat. As the series continues to trend, News18 Showsha exclusively caught up with the actor for a candid conversation on her bond with co-stars Jitendra Kumar, Neena Gupta, and Raghubir Yadav, how life has changed since Panchayat happened, and her cinematic dreams. Varun Dhawan penned a strong note, urging the media to cover a celebrity's final journey with the utmost sensitivity. Though he didn't name anyone in his post, the actor's note comes right after Shefali Jariwala's death on Friday night. He also added that this isn't the way someone would want their last journey to be covered. Looks like the Hera Pheri 3 controversy has come to an end! Weeks after the news of Paresh Rawal's exit from Priyadarshan's film left everyone shocked, the veteran actor has now confirmed his return to the film, which also stars Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty. In his latest interview, Paresh Rawal said that the differences have been 'resolved', and that the film will proceed as planned. Amitabh Bachchan has never shied away from publicly expressing his pride in his son, Abhishek Bachchan. In a recent heartfelt blog post, the legendary actor once again showered praise on Abhishek, calling him his 'uttaradhikari"—a true successor—not merely by blood but by merit and dedication. Reflecting on the profound quote from his father, the late Harivansh Rai Bachchan, Big B wrote, 'Mere bete, bete hone se mere uttaradhikari nahi honge; jo mere uttaradhikari honge woh mere bete honge" — a powerful assertion that inheritors are defined not by lineage but by action and values. Bollywood superstar Deepika Padukone couldn't contain her admiration for Brad Pitt following the global release of his much-anticipated racing film F1. On Sunday, the Pathaan actor took to her Instagram Stories to share a playful tribute to Pitt, simply writing: 'Brad Pitt. That's it, that's the post. IYKYK." With that cheeky declaration, Deepika joined millions of fans around the world in swooning over the 60-year-old Hollywood icon's performance as a comeback Formula One driver.
