The good, the bad and the ugly have brought in numbers
Art and life sometimes do ditto; that is how you can describe the current state at the Indian box office. Quite like the abundant downpour in many parts of the country this monsoon, the Indian box office is also witnessing surge collections. Movies—both, ridiculous and sublime, have brought in numbers in the first six and a half months of 2026.
Please value, The Odyssey
While Christopher Nolan’s elitist entertainment, The Odyssey has done a business of ₹ 62.34 cr in 3 days, at the Indian box office, the plebeian picture, Dhamaal 4, has also brought in around ₹ 122.39 cr in 10 days. But comparing The Odyssey’s collection of 3 days to the 10-days collection of Dhamaal 4, is lopsided math. Nolan’s cinema is made for a global audience and it has got a worldwide collection of $ 264 million (approximately) so far, which is mammoth compared to our desi film collections. Still, we must grant it to a D4! This, laugh-out-loud, fourth instalment of the Dhamaal franchise has found an audience, with the most faithful coming in from Maharashtra and Gujarat.
