EXCLUSIVE: Ajay Devgn's Drishyam 3 won't mirror Malayalam version; Ravi Basrur joins Ajay Devgn's October 2 release
June 5, 2026 at 03:00PM

By Banglore Film City
A few days ago, news came in that the shoot of the Hindi version of Drishyam 3 was completed, and now the team of the film is gearing up for its October 2 release. The original Malayalam version was released last month, on May 21, and many are wondering whether the Hindi version will be similar to it. A trade source told Bollywood Hungama, “Drishyam (2015) and Drishyam 2 (2022) in Hindi were quite similar to the original films. But the Hindi Drishyam 3 will be an exception. The makers have drastically altered the plot and twists. At the same time, they have made sure that it does justice to the world of Drishyam.” The source also said, “The makers are also excited with the new additions. It is said that Jaideep Ahlawat and Prakash Raj have put up great acts. At the same time, Ajay Devgn, Tabu, Shriya Saran and others have once again delivered fine performances.” In a recent exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, director Abhishek Pathak had revealed that while both versions of Dr...

EXCLUSIVE: Amid screen-sharing battle, Bandar team puts showcasing on hold in national chains
June 4, 2026 at 03:48PM

By Banglore Film City
Yesterday, Bollywood Hungama reported that Scary Movie, scheduled for a release on June 5, has been delayed, while Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, Peddi (Hindi version) and He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe are facing screen-sharing issues. We have now exclusively learned that the Bobby Deol-starrer Bandar is also facing problems securing the desired number of shows. As a result, Zee Studios has put its showcasing on hold in national chains. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “The makers of Bandar planned for an audience-oriented release, requesting only 4 shows in 5-screen multiplexes and 3 shows in 4-screen plexes post 1 pm, which seems a fair and doable ask. But since PVR Inox and Cinepolis are distributing Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai and PVR is partly distributing Peddi for Jio Studios, the national chains have allotted unfair shows to Bandar.” The source further said, “The Bandar team has taken a firm stance and asked the national chains to put the programming of its film on ho...

EXCLUSIVE: 'B**** c***' replaced with 'banjo' in Bandar; CBFC replaces extreme cuss words with 'c*****e', 'g***u', 'f****r'
June 4, 2026 at 02:21PM

By Banglore Film City
The dark drama, Bandar, will release tomorrow, June 5, and has caught attention due to its subject, Bobby Deol’s association with director Anurag Kashyap for the first time and the smart use of the song ‘Come On Baby’. The censor process was completed last week, and in this article, Bollywood Hungama will exclusively focus on the cuts given to the film. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) passed the film with an 'A' certificate. The good news is that despite the theme, the CBFC's Examining Committee (EC) hasn't asked for any visual cuts. However, too many changes were made to the dialogues, mostly involving abusive language used throughout the film. The word 'b**** c***' was replaced with 'banjo'. Moreover, several other, presumably extreme cuss words, were replaced with 'saale', 'c*****e', 'haramkhor', 'g***u', 'pagal', 'f****r', 'bloody', 'hooking up', 'moron', 'g**...

Chaos at the box office: Scary Movie postponed; Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, Peddi, He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe face screen-sharing issues
June 3, 2026 at 02:34PM

By Banglore Film City
The first Friday of June will see several films releasing in cinemas like Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, Bandar and Ram Charan-starrer Peddi. Two Hollywood films were also scheduled for release – He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe and Scary Movie. Bollywood Hungama has learned that the latter won’t be able to make it to cinemas this Friday, June 5. An exhibitor told Bollywood Hungama, “We don’t know what the reason is for the delay. It may be due to too many films this week. Last week’s Obsession is also going strong and it’ll take up some shows. Or it could be due to censorship issues. It now remains to be seen whether Scary Movie arrives next Friday, June 12.” Meanwhile, as expected, the screen-sharing issues have cropped up between Peddi in the Hindi-speaking markets and Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai. The former, which also stars Janhvi Kapoor, releases in cinemas on June 4. A trade source told us, “The non-national multiplexes have thrown open the bookings of Peddi. The issue ha...

Trade predicts Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai can open at Rs. 7-8 cr; experts open up on David Dhawan's possible retirement: "What a career he has had…"
June 3, 2026 at 01:34PM

By Banglore Film City
As Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai is all set to release this Friday, June 5, Bollywood Hungama spoke to trade experts to understand the buzz for the film. Trade veteran Taran Adarsh said, “David Dhawan is returning after quite a gap, that too, with his son again. I want to watch this film for him. I just hope that he doesn’t churn out something that has been repeated and over-repeated. This is because the audience today has seen all his films. He is a director with a great filmography who has made the most-watched films. At the same time, he’s not going to direct films after Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai. What a career he has had! That calls for celebration and I hope it matches upto those expectations.” Trade analyst Atul Mohan added, “The buzz is there and it looks like a light, entertaining film. There hasn’t been a solo Varun Dhawan film in a long time. Also, its music has become popular. Moreover, David Dhawan is associated with the film. So, we hope it’ll be a fun comic caper.” Gir...
