Multiple Film Releases Set for June Weekend with Varied Box Office ExpectationsPrevious
Next

The upcoming weekend features multiple major film releases, including Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor's Telugu sports drama Peddi on June 4, and Varun Dhawan's Hindi romantic comedy Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai on June 5. While Peddi has already crossed ₹15 crore in India, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai's advance bookings indicate a lukewarm opening with 5,846 tickets sold, facing competition and mixed trailer reviews. Other releases include Bobby Deol's Bandar and Hollywood titles The Masters Of The Universe and Scary Movie.
