The teaser of Eetha, which was attached with Cocktail 2, has got a rocking response and it has significantly enhanced the hype for the Shraddha Kapoor-starrer. The film was scheduled for a release on August 28 but it seems like the much-awaited period flick might not arrive that day, Bollywood Hungama has learned. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “The producers – Maddock Films – are wondering whether to prepone the release or postpone. However, it is clear that they don’t plan to bring the film on the original release date – August 28. In a few days, they are expected to make an official announcement on the change of release date.” Until last week, as many as 4 films were scheduled to release in the last week of August.

July 14, 2026 at 04:22PM

By Banglore Film City
Dhamaal 4 is literally creating a dhamaal at the box office. After an opening of Rs. 13.72 crores, the film jumped to Rs. 22.48 crores on Saturday followed by Rs. 28.15 crores on Sunday. On Monday, the film collected Rs. 8.18 crores, which made it clear that the film is set for a long run. Looking at the huge response, Dhamaal 4 makers have decided to not opt for the Tuesday offer. By doing so, the film has joined the elite list of films like Dhurandhar (2025) and Dhurandhar The Revenge (2026). A trade source told Bollywood Hungama, “Usually, when films are doing exceptionally well, it is an indication that there’s a tremendous urgency to watch it. In such cases, producers and distributors avoid selling tickets for discounted rates on Tuesdays.” The source added, “In the past, the Aamir Khan-starrer Sitaare Zameen Par (2025) and Raid 2 (2025), starring Ajay Devgn, also didn’t offer discounted ticket prices on Tuesday during their first week.” If one feels that Dhamaal 4’s footfalls on...

Veteran Bollywood star Govinda is all set to return to the big screen with a brand-new project.
