Maa Box Office Collection Day 5: Horror film becomes Kajol's 10th highest earning film of all time; sees minimal growth on Tuesday
Kajol
's supernatural thriller Maa is holding steady at the box office. On Day 5 (Tuesday), the film saw a modest rise in collections, earning an estimated Rs 2.85 crore, according to data from Sacnilk.
This brings its five-day India net total to approximately Rs 23 crore.
Directed by Vishal Furia, Maa had opened to encouraging numbers on Friday with Rs 4.65 crore, followed by a solid Saturday (Rs 6 crore) and Sunday (Rs 7 crore), pushing its weekend total to Rs 17.65 crore. However, the film saw a sharp 64% drop on Monday, earning Rs 2.5 crore. Tuesday's slight upward trend suggests the film may continue its slow and steady pace through the week.
Maa follows the story of a mother, played by Kajol, who transforms into Goddess Kali to break a horrific curse rooted in fear, blood, and betrayal. With its blend of horror, mythology, and maternal strength, the film has struck a chord with audiences, especially fans of the genre. The film also stars Indraneil Sengupta, Kherin Sharma, and Ronit Roy, and is written by Saiwyn Quadras.
With its five-day total, Maa has now officially entered the list of Kajol's top 10 highest-grossing films of all time.

Currently at the 10th spot, the film is only a few crores shy of overtaking her 1997 hit Ishq, which earned Rs 24.8 crore in its lifetime run. Next on the benchmark list is the Salman Khan–Shah Rukh Khan starrer Karan Arjun, with an estimated Rs 25.75 crore.
Whether Maa can surpass fan favourites like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai which earned an estimated Rs 46.88 crore, remains to be seen, but the film's performance so far signals a solid comeback for Kajol in her first major theatrical release since Salaam Venky (2022).
With steady word-of-mouth and limited genre competition, Maa is now poised to cross the Rs 25 crore mark in the coming days.

It's time people knew I can sing more than party songs: Aastha Gill
Singer Aastha Gill is one of the artistes who represent India's swelling presence on the global stage, whether it is a Cannes Film Festival or being live on stage. Aastha, who made her Cannes red carpet debut this year, views the invitation to Indian singers (Diljit Dosanjh also debuted at Cannes this year), apart from actors at global events, to the boom of Indian music. 'What's happening right now is just crazy — in the best way possible,' says Aastha, about the rise of Indian musicians. 'There was a time when just a couple of Indian names popped up internationally every year. Now, we have a whole spectrum of actors, singers, influencers , and even independent artists representing India on the global stage.' But beyond the glam and fame of red carpets and flashbulbs at live events, Aastha is excited about the cultural shift towards Indian music and the pull Indian singers have started exerting on international collaborators . 'All the big global artists are reaching out to Indian singers for collabs whether it's Ed Sheeran, Sia, or Akon, Nick Jonas. They want to feature with Indian musicians. They're not asking us to tone down the desi flavour. They want the Indian melodies, the rhythmic textures, and the soul of Indian's music culture.' She says her tracks like Naagin and Papi too got her global attention, with international DJs and artists reaching out to her in DMs. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Descubra aparelhos auditivos de alta qualidade sem gastar um único cêntimo Aparelhos Auditivo PT Undo 'Streaming platforms have made this access so fluid. Earlier, this kind of reach was unimaginable. Now, your song can drop at midnight and be vibed to in Brazil by morning.' In between her singles, Aastha is also prepping for the release of an EP. Ask her if it will be a treat for party animals, and she laughs, 'A lot of people think I'm just about party music. But this EP will prove I am way more and beyond party tracks too. It's deeply personal, not about the crowd but about the craft and for the audience who appreciate that kind of music. Every song has its own audience, I think. I'm enjoying doing the non-film music.

Good Game to launch global gaming reality show from India with $50 million investment Cinema exhibitor PVR INOX plans to add around 200 screens in two years at an investment of up to Rs 400 crore, its Executive Director Sanjeev Kumar Bijli said on company's expansion plans will majorly focus on South India, followed by smaller cities and towns in the next two years, Bijli told PTI in an interview."This financial year, 2025-26, we have about 100 screen openings planned, and out of which we have opened about 20 already in the first quarter, and we have another 82 to go. So, basically, we are on track to open about 100 screens this year," he said when asked about the company's expansion of the 100 screens, 40 screens are in South India, including Hyderabad, Bangalore and Hubli. At the same time, some cinemas will come up in Mumbai, Delhi, and Gurugram, and some smaller towns like Siliguri, Jabalpur, Leh and Gangtok."It is a bit of a mixed bag, but 40 per cent of this (expansion) still remains in South India, and about 20 per cent in smaller towns," Bijli going forward, he said, "We have quite a few cinemas (lined up) for 2026-27 as well. We have 80 screens opening (planned), but we can easily get it stretched to about visibility (as of now) is of 80 screens and out of that also about 40 per cent is again in South India".When asked about the investment for the expansion, he said, "Roughly, if you look at this year, if we're opening about 100 screens, then an average screen costs about Rs 3.5 crore per screen. So, that comes to about Rs 350 crore. If we assume that 50 per cent of that is coming from a combination of FOCO (franchise owned company operated) and asset light, then our contribution would be half at about Rs 175 to 200 crore".For 200 screens that the company has planned, its investment will be around Rs 350-400 said that after adding 200 screens in the next two years, PVR INOX will have "close to 2,000 screens" in part of the company's expansion in South India, PVR INOX will open a four-screen property later this week in Hyderabad, which will take its total screen count in Telangana to 110.
