Drishyam 2 Box Office: Film is extraordinary on third Saturday; collects Rs. 8.45 cr on Day 16

It was an extraordinary Saturday for Drishyam 2 as the collections almost jumped double from Friday to Saturday. This was the case for Bhediya also, though on lower levels, and here Drishyam 2 is doing that by playing on much higher numbers and that too in the third week. The film is trending like no other Hindi film has in 2022 (battling The Kashmir Files) and with an open week ahead of it, this could go anywhere.

While on Friday the film had collected Rs. 4.45 crores, Saturday numbers were really huge at Rs. 8.45 crores. Leave aside absolute or relative numbers, pre-pandemic or post-pandemic, competition or no competition, mass or class belt, or first or third week, such kind of collections would be truly admirable anytime and that’s what making Drishyam 2 the blockbuster that it is. The film is clearly the first choice of audiences all over and that’s reflecting in the way the box office has been exceeding expectations from the very first day of release.

So far, the film has collected Rs. 176.38 crores and while Rs. 185 crores would be comfortably surpassed today, it could well find itself in Rs. 187-188 crores range as well. Now, an entry into the Rs. 200 Crore Club before close of third week would be a cakewalk for the Abhishek Pathak directed suspense drama.

BLOCKBUSTER.

Note: All collections as per production and distribution sources

B-town celebrities like offering their fans yfashion ideas. Celebrities make sure to provide a variety of styles, from flashing the ideal breakfast dress to making a huge entrance at a wedding. However, sometimes their combinations may backfire, and this week was no exception. While some outfit was enchanted, others proved to be less so. Check out our picks for this week’s finest and worst dressed celebs.

SONAM KAPOOR
Nobody can match Sonam Kapoor’s personality and flair since she is a true diva. She frequently astounds us with her show-stopping attire. Sonam donned a gorgeous ice blue kaftan dress by prominent international designer Taller Marmo to a weekend event. She chose a light and cosy dress with a free-flowing design and turtle neck details. The fact that the kaftan had fringes at the edges stood out, though. She wore strong red lips and defined eyes to complement the ensemble. She also wore white heels with strappy tops. She had her hair up in a sloppy bun with a centre part. Along with it, Sonam was toting a gorgeous handbag.

RAKUL PREET SINGH
Rakul Preet Singh is an absolute fashionista. With tidbits from her Instagram fashion diary, the actress continues to squash fashion goals like a pro. Rakul Preet has a keen eye for style and can look great in anything from dresses to casual outfits to ethnic wear. Rakul played muse to fashion designer Amit Aggarwal and chose a pink dress ideal for cocktail events. Rakul Preet looked stunning in a dark pink gown with dramatic short sleeves and a skirt design with pink, black, and silver stripes. The striking dress has a complex skirt design. She adorned herself with a nude lip colour, nude eyeshadow, black eyeliner, mascara-coated eyelashes, drawn eyebrows, and contoured cheekbones.

KATRINA KAIF
Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif recently travelled to Jodhpur, a well-known Indian vacation spot, to attend a wedding. The actress dressed in a refined colour scheme with just a tinge of sparkle for the occasion. Of course, she chose Manish Malhotra as her go-to designer since he met all of her requirements. Manish Malhotra’s icy blue calcite chiffon saree, which was bordered with matching pastel pink glitter and adorned with sequin grids, was worn by Katrina. It was exquisitely designed and looked stunning with Manish Malhotra’s iconic velvet Taban blouse, which had a plunging neckline, a cutaway strap back, and beaded accents all over. handcrafted Russian emerald polki earrings by Manish Malhotra jewellery were one among Katrina’s accessories. The outfit’s soft colour scheme was chosen with care, and the addition of cuffs and earrings made sure that the accessory issue stayed under control. While maintaining her rosy toned, luminous, and beautiful as ever makeup, Katrina’s flowing locks were done in easy waves.

ANANYA PANDAY
We were all watching Ananya Panday as she posed in a gorgeous chocolate brown pantsuit. Ananya Panday is making the classic and trendiest style of the year—pantsuits—look even better on this side. Ananya had a fierce appearance with puffed shoulders and a fitted silhouette. She completed the image by wearing a stylish top with a plunging neckline inside straight-fit pants. The nicest additions to her entire look were her very neat hairdo, gold-toned stud earrings, and light makeup.

MISSES

RASHMIKA MANDANNA

Rashmika has always had a bookmark-worthy casual aesthetic, and this time she enhanced it with a black and white striped midi dress with a turtleneck style. With a fuchsia overcoat, she gave this plain silhouette a splash of colour. This time, the outfit was a failure since Rashmika’s quirky appearance was ruined by the lengthy, striped dress and long coat. Additionally, her accoutrements lacked aesthetic appeal.

EXCLUSIVE: Sharman Joshi reveals the impact 3 Idiots had on his life; says “People started knowing me by my name only after this film”

Rajkumar Hirani’s 3 Idiots is easily the film that stands out from Sharman Joshi’s career. But the film that became his claim-to-fame was N Chandra’s Style in 2001. This is what he revealed in an exclusive video chat with Bollywood Hungama. “People started knowing me as Bantu (his character name in Style). They didn’t know me by name though,” he said.

But he achieved actual fame only after he did his first and only Hirani movie. “They started knowing me by my name only after 3 Idiots,” said Sharman proudly. Sharing an interesting anecdote, the actor said he still remembers the shoot of Style when he and his co-star Sahil Khan had dressed up as women. “The first day I dressed up (as a woman) and walked onto the sets and started delivering my lines, Chandra ji was laughing like anything.”

Sharman added that this actually was an appreciation of his performance. “He (N Chandra) was absolutely delighted by the way I was playing it out,” he recalled. “Of course, he had seen me during rehearsals but then he saw me in the whole costume. Everyone was loving it. And Sahil and me were wondering since we had done that daily during the rehearsals and not many people were praising it then.”
