Salman Khan had predicted Sanam Teri Kasam would be a commercial success at the box office. Unfortunately, that did not happen back in 2016 when Harshvardhan Rane and Mawra Hocane starrer first arrived in theatres. However, it was re-released on Valentine’s Day 2025 and is roaring loud with humongous collections. Scroll below for the day 11 update!

Og Box Office Collection

Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru’s directorial was a flop upon its arrival in theatres on February 5, 2016. It made an underwhelming opening and earned only 1 crore. After minting 7 crores in its first week, it soon made its way out of theatres with lifetime collections of 9 crores. It was mounted on a decent budget of 18 crores, which means only 50% of the total cost was recovered in the original run.

SandalwoodThough the actors have performed well, the film falls back on a predictable formula.Aravind ShwethaIn an industry dominated by mass heroes, a well-made heroine-centric film is a welcome change. Mahira, a suspense thriller made on a relatively low budget, and with an amalgamation of newbies and veterans in the cast, had upped the ante with an electrifying trailer and unique promotional strategies on social media. The movie had grabbed the headlines for all the right reasons and was touted to become one of the most entertaining thrillers of this year. And it could have been one, if the makers had taken care of a few important elements that have ended up denting the narration of the film. The film opens in a coastal region where Maya (Virginia Rodrigues) and her daughter Adya (Chaitra Achar) are living a happy life, running a beach café. Their life suddenly turns upside down...

Bollywood actress Esha Gupta, who has clocked seven years in the film industry and has finished shooting her upcoming film "One Day" alongside Anupam Kher, says she felt privileged to work with the veteran talent as she took her acting training from him.

"Anupam Kher Sir is my guru because I have done my acting training from his school Actor Prepares. We all know that he is a delight as an actor, but he is also a great teacher," Esha told Ians here.

"I am so happy that I got a chance to work with him. When it comes to this film 'One Day', life has taken a full circle because I am acting opposite my guru... It is so amazing to see how even after so many films and that huge body of work, he surrenders to the director and constantly talks on how to do a scene differently.

Esha Gupta entered Bollywood a few years after she was crowned Miss India International in 2007. After appearing in Bollywood films like Total Dhaamal and Rustom, Gupta has become a household name in India.

The 33-year-old actress and self-confessed Arsenal fan was recently at the centre of a controversy, when she shared racist remarks about Arsenal’s Alex Iwobi on her Instagram account. She apologised for the remark but the story was already picked up by every British tabloid.

Moving on from the incident, she has been focusing on her upcoming web series and during a tête-à-tête with BollySpice she opened up about her work and more.

You’re selective with the projects you do in Bollywood. What do you look for in films?

It has to be either a full on commercial film or a great story. If actors start considering films as a ‘business’ then the passion vanishes.

Interview"I fell in love with films only two years after working in films," says Ileana.IANSShe was all of 18 when her acting career took off, landing her in the cobweb of celebrityhood. But actor Ileana D'Cruz has managed to escape it her way -- by prioritising family over work, maintaining a slow pace, conquering depression that stemmed from superficial judgments by faceless people and ignoring constant rumours about her marriage and pregnancy. "I'm not pregnant. In fact, I would have been super happy if I was. It's something I have always wanted. But there's still time. I still don't want to become pregnant yet," Ileana told Ians during her Fiji sojourn as brand ambassador, laughing off rumours. There was a hullabaloo when she used "hubby" for her Australian photographer beau Andrew Kneebone on social media, leaving fans and the media playing the guessing game on her marital status. "It's not important for me (to tell the world if I'm married or not). I do tell the world about my equation in a way, and let the world a little bit into my life. But I like it that way because I hate the negativity that comes with it. I've learnt to live with it as it has been a little over 12 years for me in the industry now. But it's really not fair on the so many other people, the families involved," said the 31-year-old actress with Goan roots. Ileana says a relationship is about restraint and respect. "There's respect there," Ileana said, adding: "I had a different perception of what a relationship or love is like. I was all giddy-headed and fairytale about it in my head, but it's so different. There's a lot of restraint that you've got to have, compromising in certain situations -- and you've got to have a lot of respect." Respect, in her checklist for a relationship, precedes trust and love. "I feel we've sort of evolved into that," asserted Ileana, who mostly avoids opening up on her personal life to keep it away from being "frivolised". It was Andrew, in fact, who egged on Ileana to see a therapist when depression struck her. "Things had got so bad that I was pushing people away. I didn't realise how much I was alienating people. I would constantly refuse to go out when friends would call. At one point, I didn't realise I was at home for a week... After that, I got an ultimatum from him," shared Ileana. She is calmer today. "Now I don't look at life where I'd say: 'Oh gosh, my life's over if I don't have films any more'. My approach is that there's so much more for me to do... It (depression) really was in a way godsent... That depression and that phase in my life, as horrible as it was, was needed in a way to switch things back and change who I was as a person." Now she enjoys balancing her personal and professional life at a pace she controls. Having started her career with Telugu film Devadasu, Ileana also did Tamil movies and forayed into Bollywood with Barfi!. Her roles in subsequent movies like Rustom, Mubarakan, Baadshaho and Raid gave her a further push in Hindi cinema. "I'm happy I'm doing films at a slow pace rather than doing anything and everything... I do love my work, but for me, my priority is definitely family, and then work. More often than not, this industry expects you to put work before family. They are like 'The show must go on' irrespective of whatever happens. That's something I like to twist and tweak to my way as much as I can," she said. "The good thing is I have managed to do it all these years. I don't want to look back, say 20 years from now, and feel I have missed out on family and memories," said Ileana, for whom the switch from southern films to Bollywood changed life for the "better". Her choice of cinema has undergone a change too. "When I first started out in Telugu cinema, I signed anything and everything that came my way. I was 18, was immature and it felt like a good idea that 'Oh, they are paying me a good amount of money'. I was young, naive, I had zero ambition and, honestly, it wasn't my calling," she said. "I fell in love with films only two years after working in films. So, my choice really changed with time because there was this seriousness and respect for my work. I felt I owed it to my work to not do a very crap film and to think about what I am doing," she added. "When I was 21, I had this thought that when I am a grandma, I don't want the kids to look at it and say, 'What's that? Why did you do that?' So, I thought I should really think about it properly and do good films," Ileana said.
