Ridhi Dogra recalls Shahrukh Khan’s words in The 50 A candid moment during a lively episode of The 50 turned into a thoughtful reflection on perspective and grace, thanks to Ridhi Dogra’s response to a playful comparison. Contestant Kiku Sharda humorously likened Ridhi’s experience of sharing screen space with Lovekesh Kataria on the show to her collaboration with superstar Shahrukh Khan in the film Jawan. The comparison, intended as a compliment, highlighted Ridhi’s adaptability and ease in working with diverse co-stars across platforms. While Kiku’s tone kept the moment light, it subtly acknowledged Ridhi’s transition from television to big-screen projects like Jawan. Ridhi responded with composure, elevating the moment by quoting Shahrukh Khan’s words: “Life mein kuch bada ya chota nahi hota, tum bade ya chote hote ho” (In life, nothing is big or small—it’s about how you perceive yourself). Rather than focusing on the stature of her co-stars, she emphasized that an individual’s mindset and self-perception define their worth. This exchange underscored what sets Ridhi apart in The 50: her grounded approach to success, choosing not to measure her experiences by the fame of those around her. The 50: Ridhi Dogra’s clarity of purpose Ridhi’s strength lies in her unwavering clarity of purpose, which shone through when she was questioned about her alliances while in the danger zone. She responded with conviction: “My alliance has been my fans, I represent them. I did this show…” Her answer resonated with viewers, reinforcing her commitment to her audience over strategic partnerships. In the latest episode, Ridhi’s leadership shone brightest during a high-pressure X and 0 challenge. Tasked with guiding her blindfolded teammates, she demonstrated calm, clarity, and control, steering her team to victory.#the_50 #ridhi_dogra #jawan #kiku_sharda #shahrukh_khan
8 top Indian movies with the highest global box office openings ahead of Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar The Revenge Indian cinema has set several records for global box office openings in recent years, and now attention is focused on Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, set to release on March 19. With advance bookings already underway, industry experts are closely monitoring whether the film can match or exceed the massive opening numbers achieved by previous blockbusters like Pushpa 2, RRR, and Jawan. The film, directed by Aditya Dhar and starring Ranveer Singh, Sara Arjun, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, and Rakesh Bedi, is expected to draw significant global interest. Ahead of its release, here is a look at the top Indian films with the highest global opening day collections. Pushpa 2: The Rule – Rs 257 crore The sequel to the blockbuster Pushpa holds the record for the highest opening day gross for an Indian film. Starring Allu Arjun, the film collected approximately Rs 257 crore worldwide on its first day, according to box office tracking data. It broke multiple records, including the biggest opening for an Indian film and the highest for an Allu Arjun starrer. RRR – Rs 223 crore Directed by S. S. Rajamouli, RRR made history with its global debut, earning an estimated Rs 223 crore worldwide on opening day. The epic action drama starring Ram Charan and N. T. Rama Rao Jr. surpassed the box office success of Rajamouli’s earlier hit Baahubali 2, highlighting the growing international appeal of Indian cinema. Jawan – Rs 129 crore Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan delivered a strong opening, collecting around Rs 129 crore globally on its first day. The high-energy action film performed exceptionally well both domestically and overseas, even topping the Australian box office at one point.#aditya_dhar #ranveer_singh #rrr #pushpa_2 #jawan
Dhurandhar: The Revenge Surpasses Previous Bollywood Records in Overseas Markets The Bollywood film Dhurandhar: The Revenge, starring Ranveer Singh, has generated significant international interest, with strong pre-sale figures indicating a promising debut. The United States has emerged as the strongest market, where the film has already secured nearly US$600,000 in pre-sales for the weekend. This includes over US$250,000 for Wednesday previews, US$100,000 for Thursday, the opening day, and additional sales of US$100,000 for Friday and Saturday. These figures surpass the previous record for a Bollywood film, which was held by Jawan with approximately US$300,000 in pre-sales at the same time. Dhurandhar: The Revenge is now nearly doubling that benchmark, with fresh bookings continuing to rise. Based on current trends, the film is projected to exceed US$1 million in U.S. pre-sales, potentially reaching US$1.5 million or even US$2 million. A four-day extended weekend could push the total to close to or surpass US$10 million, a milestone achieved by only three Bollywood films in the U.S. Pathaan holds the record for the highest opening, with US$6.65 million over five days. The film’s performance in the U.S. suggests it could challenge that record, though the absence of the Middle East, where the original Dhurandhar missed its release, may limit its overall total. Australia has also shown strong early support, with the film securing AUD$100,000 in weekend sales, 40-50% higher than Pathaan and Jawan at the same stage. Sales are growing rapidly, and the film is on track to set a new benchmark for the region, potentially reaching AUD$3 million. Canada, where the film’s advance sales have not yet opened, is expected to follow a similar trajectory once the market becomes active.#united_states #ranveer_singh #dhurandhar_the_revenge #jawan #pathaan
