Clayface North America Box Office Prediction: Here’s How Much The Film Would Earn In Its Opening Weekend ( Photo Credit – YouTube )
DCU’s third film, Clayface, is all set to be released in theaters this month. Its release is scheduled closer to the Halloween. The DCU movie has low box-office buzz in North America. It will be even below the opening weekend of Supergirl. The Batman director, Matt Reeves, is one of the producers on this movie. Keep scrolling for the deets.
It has been directed by James Watkins with Tom Rhys Harries in the titular role. Naomi Ackie, David Dencik, Max Minghella, and Eddie Marsan appear in supporting roles. It is part of the DCU’s Chapter One: Gods and Monsters. Only Superman came out as the winner at the box office. Supergirl, released earlier this year, is a major financial failure.
Clayface’s opening weekend projection at the domestic box office
Clayface is reportedly the English remake of the Danish-Dutch film of the same name. The movie is based on one of Batman’s enemies, a character who has not been explored much in previous movies. According to the early estimates, the upcoming DCU movie is eyeing a low opening weekend at the North American box office. Based on the numbers on Box Office Pro, the movie is expected to earn between $23 million and $33 million in its opening weekend at the North American box office.
How does it stack up against the other DCU movies?
The DCU kickstarted with Superman, with a $125 million collection in its opening weekend at the North American box office. The second movie is Supergirl, which was a box office disappointment, collecting just $37.1 million in its opening weekend. It is a spin-off of a DC villain, like Black Adam or the Joker. The projected range is below Joker 2’s $37.7 million opening weekend. 2019’s Joker collected $96.2 million in its domestic debut weekend. Meanwhile, Black Adam collected $67 million in its opening weekend.
What is the film about?
The film follows rising movie star Matt Hagen, who, after being brutally disfigured, volunteers for an experimental treatment to restore his face, only to suffer horrifying side effects that transform his body into living clay. Clayface will be released on October 23.
Prem Keetanu Box Office Collection Day 1: Earns 95% Lower Than Sky Force (Photo Credit – Instagram)
Actor Veer Pahariya’s second film, Prem Keetanu, was released in theaters on October 2. The Hindi rom-com clashed with Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam -The Conclusions at the box office. Directed by Apoorv Singh Karki, Prem Keetanu had a very slow start at the box office. The film is also heavily inspired by the Malayalam blockbuster Premalu. Even though it’s not a scene-by-scene remake, the core plot is the same as Girish AD’s directorial.
How Much Did Prem Keetanu Earn At The Box Office On Opening Day?
It comes as no surprise that the Veer Pahariya starrer had a slow start at the box office despite releasing on a national holiday. The film went up against Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam 3, which witnessed a record-breaking opening-day collection. The film has earned 0.5 crore on day 1 across 1800 shows, with an occupancy rate of 12%. With Veer Pahariya’s film receiving mixed to negative reviews, it is unlikely to gain momentum in the coming days.
Where Does Prem Keetanu Stand In Comparison To Sky Force?
Veer Pahariya made his acting debut in 2025 with the film Sky Force. The film also starred Akshay Kumar in the lead. Owing to the star presence, the film opened with 12.25 crore net in India. This makes Prem Keetanu’s opening-day collection 95% lower than Veer’s debut film.
The upcoming film Prem Keetanu revolves around a group of young men dealing with life, including college, friendship, love, and heartbreak. The story explores the struggles and aspirations of young men through a comic, relatable narrative.
The makers describe the characters as boys: “Jinko college main na marks mile, na ummeed, na pyar, kuch mila to sirf dost aur khoob sare heartbreaks.” The story aims to resonate with today’s youth and evoke nostalgia in older generations, connecting their lived experiences with aspirations for the next generation.
Directed by Apoorv Singh Karki, the film is produced by Gaurav Verma under his new production banner, Avanika Films, along with Phars Films. Verma previously worked as an independent producer on films including Darlings, Bhakshak, Jawan, and Badla during his time at Red Chillies.

Ajay Devgn has created absolute carnage at the domestic box office! The highly anticipated crime thriller Drishyam 3: The Conclusion has taken the nation by storm on its opening day.

Drishyam 3 Day 1 Box Office Estimates
According to early trend reports, Drishyam 3 is heading towards an astronomical opening day collection in the range of 68 crore to 72 crore, for October 2, Friday, day 1. Spanning across 15,700 shows in India, the Abhishek Pathak directorial recorded a towering occupancy of 60% throughout Friday.
With an earth-shattering opening, Drishyam 3 has smashed its way into the record books, standing tall as the 4th biggest opening of all time for a Bollywood film in India!

Prior to Drishyam 3’s release, Shah Rukh Khan held the 10th spot on the all-time list with Happy New Year (44.97 crore). That gave SRK an undisputed dominance in the top 10 openers with three massive blockbusters – Jawan, Pathaan, and Happy New Year.
With Drishyam 3 storming straight to the 4th position, Happy New Year moves out of the Top 10 list. Shah Rukh Khan (Jawan, Pathaan) now shares the record with Hrithik Roshan (War, War 2), with both superstars holding 2 films each in the All-Time Top 10 Hindi Openers list!

“Arjun ko Mahabharat ka yuddh jeetne ke liye Gandiv ki zarurat padi thi. Kanoon ka Gandiv hai suboot,” tells a very sharp Rajeev Singh Tomar (Jaideep Ahlawat) to Mahesh Deshmukh. And thus, the Goa police takes the Deshmukh family under the radar, on Meere Deshmukh (Tabu)’s call for revenge and justice, and Mahesh Deshmukh (Rajat Kapoor)’s insistence on reopening the biggest criminal case in Hindi Cinema! Drishyam 3 arrives with the most unknown yet known threat to the Salgaonkar’s – ‘Khatra kabhi bhi aur kahin se bhi aa sakta hai.’ And together they face the deadliest trial against them. But do they survive? Of course, yes! Say why? Because Drishya kabhi jhooth nahi bolte, and Vijay Salgaonkar makes sure that he sees what others cannot!
Directed by Abhishek Pathak, Ajay Devgn, Shriya Saran, Ishita Dutta, and Mrunal Jadhav, playing the Salgaonkars. Vijay Salgaonkar, his wife Nandini, and daughters Anju and Anu are a family from Goa, who accidentally killed the son of the then IG of Goa, Meera Deshmukh. Ever since, they have been protecting each other, staying super strong as a family and trying to hide the crime they committed, with the vision and plan of the head of the family, Vijay Salgaonkar!

The Salgaonkars return one final time to close this case against them, once and for all! Writers Aameel Keeyan Khan and Parveez Shaikh, along with Abhishek Pathak, structure a finale that delivers the end this franchise needed. An end that is whistle-worthy, and worth every penny you would have spent to buy the tickets for Drishyam 3, being titled as Drishyam: The Conclusion. The final chapter delivers pure thrill and an unforgettable finale that this franchise deserves!
Drishyam: The Conclusion Movie Review: Script Analysis
The story starts many years later, after the second part, where we see Tabu’s Meera Deshmukh grieving for her son, who has been forgotten. On the other hand, Salgaonkars are trying to move on and find peace in their lives with a final petition to end their case and let them live peacefully as a family! Their roads cross as SP Rajeev Singh Tomar arrives to reopen the file, and a cut-through chase begins! How does Vijay Salgaonkar win this game of chess? What is his final checkmate move? Why does his silence serve as gold? How does Jaideep Ahlawat’s fury make you feel that the ball might move to his court eventually? How does Prakash Raj act as one of the best lawyers trying to get justice for Sameer Deshmukh? All of this becomes the plot for Drishyam 3 or Drishyam The Conclusion.
Drishyam: The Conclusion Movie Review: Star Performance
Ajay Devgn is the man of the moment, and honestly, I am in awe of his skill set. In a 2-hour-and-50-minute film, I saw him speak for only 8 -10 minutes in total. And honestly, with his silence, the man literally rules the entire film like a king, waiting for his final move! Ajay Devgn delivers a masterclass in playing a psychologically sharp criminal, to be honest! His heavy eyes, understated body language, and a calm exterior mask an ultra-sharp mind. He proves why Vijay Salgaonkar is one of Indian cinema’s most iconic characters, and he doesn’t need theatrical monologues to prove this!
Jaideep Ahlawat is an absolute threat that Ajay Devgn’s Vijay Salgaonkar deserved! His presence is intimidating, sharp, and commanding. They probably share only one scene, but that sets the tone of the entire film! Tabu delivers yet another deeply emotional performance as Meera Deshmukh. But honestly, she does not have to do much. The same goes for Rajat Kapoor, Ishita Dutta, and Mrunal Jadhav. However, they still win with whatever parts they get! Prakash Raj adds a brilliant tone and intrigue as the legal counsel for Sameer Deshmukh as he makes a case against the Salgaonkars! Kamlesh Sawant as Inspector Gaitonde adds all the humor that gets the claps and the whistles!

Drishyam: The Conclusion Movie Review: Direction, Music
Abhishek Pathak very carefully and intricately builds this world as Ajay Devgn’s smirks keep meeting Jaideep Ahlawat’s fury, making this thriller the best conclusion for a trilogy ever! When a franchise sets the benchmark as astronomically high as Drishyam and Drishyam 2 did, crafting a trilogy was like walking over a canyon. But writer-director Abhishek Pathak and his writing team take an entirely independent narrative path, diverging from the Malayalam film and craft an original finale honoring Vijay Salgaonkar’s criminal mind and his legacy to protect his family at any cost!
The script relies heavily on criminal psychology. Where Drishyam was about cleverness, Drishyam 2 was about, and now Drishyam The Conclusin is all about the legal loopholes and how Vijay Salgaonkar keeps filling them, fooling the law for one last time! The brilliance of the film lies in its screenplay – it is too tight. So sharp that it could cut through right into the audience’s eagerness and excitement! While the prosecution builds a wall of evidence brick by brick, Vijay Salgaonkar stands practically silent. Yet, every movement, glance, and subtle setup in the background pays off in an explosive final payoff. The narrative trickery isn’t just about hiding a body anymore – it’s about manipulating the truth.
The real star is Ravi Basrur’s background score. It elevates the film to the best point it could! It builds the unease and lets the silences breathe. Basrur understands that with a protagonist who barely speaks, the music has to speak for him. It heightens the chase and sharpens the reveals without ever drowning the drama.

Drishyam: The Conclusion Movie Review: The Last Word
In one of the scenes of Drishyam 3, lawyer Indrajith Shetty (Prakash Raj), Meera Deshmukh (Tabu), Rajveer Tomar (Jaideep Ahlawat), and Mahesh Deshmukh (Rajat Kapoor) discuss their educational qualifications and how they are still struggling to fight a mind that is ‘Chauthi Fail.’ Meanwhile, Vijay Salgaonkar, in the climax, sets up the theory of the film – “Filmon ka sach hona zaroori nahi hai, unka sach lagna zaroori hai.” And Drishyam 3 looks believable, it has the conviction and the guts that dares to take a different route!
Drishyam 3 achieves what very few thrillers accomplish: it is intelligent, respects its characters, and delivers a grand finale that is spectacular! Vijay Salgaonkar is the greatest storyteller I have ever seen on screen. He uses truth, illusion, and silence to protect what matters most – his family, and on a bigger and better note, he protects this film and how! He wins through narrative, through patience, and through the quiet and confident vision of a man who has already planned his story till the last scene.
Drishyam 3 is a finale that understands what made the franchise work in the first place: an ordinary man, an extraordinary mind, and a story told so well that everyone believes it. Ajay Devgn’s calm and Jaideep Ahlawat’s fire end the saga with confidence. Yes, it does talk a little too much in the middle. But when the film reaches the climax, you just say – What a finale! Proper commercial paisa vasool entertainer!

Verity Movie Review: A Thriller That Lacks The Thrills (Photo Credit: Amazon MGM Studios)
What’s Good: Anne Hathaway going into villain mode is quite entertaining.
What’s Bad: The mystery is so much in the background that I would hesitate in calling this a thriller.
Loo Break: At any point during the second act is a good time, as the movie moves into erotica more than any other genre.
Watch or Not?: Watch only if you are a huge fan of the three leads, but there is not much here on a cinematic level.

The year of Anne Hathaway continues with one more film that is set up to become a success just like The Housemaid did last year; a film made for the BookTok crowd that is always searching for the next big page-turner, and of course, its eventual film adaptation, which in this case is being led by Hathaway and directed by Michael Showalter, a director that is just made for this type of generic filmmaking showcase.

Verity Movie Review: Script Analysis
Verity is an adaptation of the novel written by Colleen Hoover, which became a huge bestseller not too long ago thanks to the book finding viral coverage on TikTok, and also having enough controversial content to keep the conversation going for a long time after the readers turned the last page, and so we find ourselves in front of a film adaptation that should be exciting, mysterious, and entertaining, but that sadly falls into the ridiculous territory not many movies want to be in.
The reason, well, Verity is sold as a mystery, but the plot relies mainly on erotica to keep things going, and in today’s day and age, that not might be the most effective tool to entertain, especially for movie goers who are actually searching for a story, and not just horny people interacting with each other, and that is basically what happens here for about two hours.
There is a mystery to be sold, don’t get me wrong, but it feels like something that is being developed little by little on the background instead of the forefront, where the attention is mainly on Dakota Johnson’s character and her relationship with an abandoned and solitary husband, played by John Harnett; the dialogue is quite a challenge for the actors, and it often sounds like a very funny stream of jokes.
However, for those audience members who love camp, then the movie is just a treasure of riches, as the movie really takes itself seriously enough that the results of many conversations ends up being funny or hilarious, and this is a tone that is often avoided by many films, but will work in this case for some audience members, while others will definitely pray for the movie to finish as soon as possible.
Verity Movie Review: Star Performance
The main plot, the dialogue and the overall story might stumble a lot, but the performances really bring everything together and make the movie more than tolerable, especially when it comes to Anne Hathaway, an actress that for a while was seen as unsympathetic, but that now feels like just an old friend, and to see her here going full villain mode is quite amazing, and she just nails it, making every scene she is in the best in the entire movie.
Dakota Johnson is always charming, and this is the type of movie she seems to excel at, but while good, I don’t think she has the presence to share the screen with Hathaway convincingly. Josh Hartnett, on the other hand, is always a welcome presence. I’m glad to see him more and more on the big screen once again.

Michael Showalter is exactly the perfect director for a movie like this one, he has excelled at directing movies that feel quite tame and just plain entertaining, so you could say he brings his professionalism to the table but not much else, there is really no style on display on any of the scenes or in any shot for that matter, he lets the story speak for itself, and maybe that is for the best in this particular case.
The shot composition is as basic as it gets, but it gets the job done. That can also be said of the blocking and just the overall editing of the movie; it just works. Showalter doesn’t get in the way of the story, but it would be great if he could have enhanced it somewhat; but that is not the case.

Verity Movie Review: The Last Word
Verity is not a very good film; the mystery is left on the wayside, and the focus on the erotica elements just makes it so boring that it is hard to ignore, the actors do a good job, but they cannot save the film from being too basic on almost every level, but don’t get confused, this movie will find its audience, might it be on theaters or in the digital market, but it will find it, and it will keep the fires burning in favor of this kind of novel adaptation.

Last year, when Dupahiya arrived with its first season, it was such a breath of fresh air! A year later, it still feels the same as it arrives with its season 2. However, when season 1 ended, my only concern was how they would take this forward and turn it into a franchise when the main conflict had been resolved. Season 1’s main arc was a bullet demanded by a potential groom, who flaunted his status as a state government employee, settled in the city. To a villager, that is an achievement, and the social commentary hit brilliant highs with its plot intact! So when the entire issue was resolved, I was curious how they would take this franchise forward, with this name. Does Dupahiya S2 fall into the usual traps and tropes? Yes. Does it manage to come out shining, stronger, and more brilliant? A dicey one to answer!
For the unversed, season 1 was about a family of four – Banwari Jha (Gajendra Rao), Malti Jha (Anjuman Saxena), and their children Roshni and Bhugol (Shivani Raghuvanshi and Sparsh Shrivastava). Then there is another family of two – Pushplata Yadav (Renuka Shahane) and her daughter Nirmal (Komal Kushwaha). Roshni’s alliance is fixed with a boy called Kuber Tripathi, who flaunts his government job, just like his father. But the alliance can reach the wedding altar, only if the bride’s family gifts a ‘Dupahiya’ to the potential groom. But all hell breaks loose when the Dupahiya goes missing, and the entire Dhadakpur gets involved in finding it, because I forgot to tell you! Dhadakpur has a reputation – it is a village with 0% crime rate, and might get an award for the same!
Dupahiya Season 2 Web Series Review Out: Struggles With Its Plot! ( Photo Credit – YouTube )
Dupahiya Season 2 Review: What’s It About:
Season 1 ended with Roshni challenging Kuber to secure a government job, move to the city with her merit, and enjoy life on her terms! Season 2 starts on the same note! Dhadakpur is no longer crime-free since Dupahiya was stolen in the last season, but Pushplata is trying to bring basic amenities to the village and wants to run for election. Roshni is struggling to work on the challenge, but the only problem is that she is not smart enough in her studies. Banwari Jha is suspended and is looking for options to fulfill his responsibilities as the head of the family! Meanwhile, Bhugol is an internet celebrity but only as a cross-dresser!
The village finds hope when a telecom company arrives in Dhadakpur to install towers and ensure they have access to a 5G network. It looks like a win-win since the tower will be installed on someone’s land, and that person will be paid a monthly allowance! However, the story takes the disruptive route as villagers are told about the side effects of 5G – right from affecting their sperm count to more environmental hazards like extinction of the sparrows! Village decides against the tower – Banwari’s only hope for monthly earnings!
And thus begins another chapter of struggle, confusion, planning, and plotting that blends with a cheating nexus and a scandal that follows! How does Dhadakpur manage not to become Mirzapur? Do they finally win over their societal and moral compromises, or do they finally lose their innocence? All of it becomes the plot of the 8-episode series!
Dupahiya Season 2 Review: What Works:
The soul of Dupahiya has always been its warmth and authentic rural flavor. Writers Avinash Dwivedi and Chirag Garg deliver an easy, fresh, and fun screenplay that glides smoothly without drowning the narrative in heavy-handed, unnecessary drama. The team keeps its roots firmly planted, and crucially, never turns village culture into a parody. Meanwhile, director Sonam Nair demonstrates an absolute mastery over this world, knowing her characters inside out and keeping the tone cozy and accessible for family viewing. There are absolutely no attempts to inflate the stakes artificially, and Avinash and Chirag make sure that they stay true to their roots. The village is still rooted in its village. Dupahiya treats it as home, and that respect is what gives the humor its warmth.
Dupahiya Season 2 Web Series Review Out: Sparsh Shrivastava Wins & Big Time! ( Photo Credit – YouTube )
Dupahiya Season 2 Review: Star Performance:
Sparsh Shrivastava effortlessly solidifies his position as the find of this decade. Delivering an absolute masterclass, he anchors the emotional and comedic beats with a brilliance that is rare. His act is the strongest asset of the season and the reason the show works as well as it does. Alongside Shivani Raghuvanshi, he forms a brother-sister duo that wins the season. Their dynamic carries the emotional and comic weight of the story, and the pair deserves credit for making the sibling bond feel believable.
Gajraj Rao, as the head of the family, wins with one scene with his son. It is a reminder that a seasoned actor doesn’t need a long arc to make an impact. Meanwhile, Renuka Shahane, who had a central arc in the last season, is sidelined here. It is a disappointment, as the show doesn’t make the most of her presence this time.
Bhuvan Arora as Amavas is used well, and his character fits neatly into the ensemble. Yashpal Sharma and Nirahua should be the next Tom and Jerry of OTT. Their pairing has the push-and-pull that makes such duos work. Nirahua, in particular, is on a winning streak with his recent digital appearances. If the streaming world keeps casting him like this, he will become one of its most dependable comedic drama appearances that would work for a show.
Komal Kushwaha’s Nirmal gets a promising sub-plot, but the writing doesn’t support the actor with a story that holds together.
The major stumbling block comes from the forced setup used to justify its title. Reconnecting the resolved conflict of Season 1 required a very forced comeback that feels way off! The show started with a plot that looked like the main story – the issue of the tower and its placement, and honestly, that should have been cooked well, just like the Dupahiya plot in the last season! However, the show takes a steep turn with Roshni’s struggle with studies, leading to a cheating scandal involving Nirahua and his coaching classes! As if this were not enough, the story tries to reconnect with why it is still called Dupahiya, and the connection is so forced that you can feel the pressure!
The additional narrative starts struggling with pacing in certain stretches, leaving a few character arcs underexplored. The subplot involving the tower could have been significantly tighter and punchier. Furthermore, Komal Kushwaha’s character, Nirmal, picks up a promising subplot that unfortunately becomes directionless far too quickly. Another major problem with Dupahiya in its entirety is that it misses out on sharp, instantly quotable one-liners- lacking that signature conversational hook that makes shows like Panchayat pop. I mean, you say, Dekh Raha Hai Naa Binod, and you instantly know you are talking about Panchayat. You say, Are aapko nahi pata, and you know you will talk about Gullak. But you do not have that instant connection with Dupahiya!

Dupahiya Season 2 Review: Last Words:
Dupahiya Season 1 worked because it was a truly daring and sincere social commentary without any drama! Dupahiya S2 just reverses the equation, and that is where it misses the entire point! However, despite its narrative hiccups and forced title-justifying twists, Dupahiya S2 manages to retain its inherent charm and somehow brings everything together for a delightful win. It remains a rare, wholesome entertainer that can be enjoyed with the entire family, not offering hearty laughs but still tapping into nostalgic family dynamics.
And that is no small achievement for a sequel that had to find a new reason to exist. It stumbles on a forced twist, loses pace at places, leaves some arcs unexplored, and misses the memorable dialogues that would have made it stand out. But it keeps its humor, its roots, and its respect for its characters intact.
