The corridors of Bollywood are buzzing with excitement right now. From box office numbers to celebrity statements, everyone is talking about the latest happenings. Let's take a look at today's top 5 biggest news stories, compiled into an entertaining blog post for you.
1. Mirzapur's Magic Continues on Day 4, Check Total Collection
Pankaj Tripathi's film Mirzapur continued its strong run at the box office on its fourth day. Although it was a Monday, according to Sacnilk's report, the film raked in around 16 crore at the Indian box office.
Adding this up, the total 4-day India collection of the Mirzapur film stands at approximately 131 crore, with a worldwide collection of around 154 crore. Passing the crucial Monday test with flying colors, the film has proven that its craze among audiences is far from fading.
2. Yash Faces Big OTT Setback Following Toxic's Box Office Failure
Before the release of Toxic, Yash must have believed this film would cement his status as a global star. However, forget being a global star, Toxic is struggling to secure a decent price on OTT platforms as well. Due to the film's dismal performance at the box office, the makers have now suffered a major blow from digital platforms.
According to media reports, prior to release, the makers had rejected an offer of 150 crore for the film. But now, following its poor theatrical run, the film is receiving offers of a mere 30 crore. Consequently, after this high-profile debacle, producers will likely think a hundred times before casting Yash in a big-budget movie.

You can experience this song in theaters starting September 18 or listen to it right now on YouTube. For context, Asha ji recorded over 12,000 songs throughout her illustrious career.
4. Sanjay Dutt's Marathi Language Controversy Sparks Debate
Lately, there has been mounting pressure—and frequent controversies—regarding speaking Marathi across Maharashtra, especially in Mumbai. During a recent event, Maharashtra Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik urged Sanjay Dutt to speak in Marathi.
Sanjay Dutt declined the request, stating that he spent six years in Yerwada Jail and still couldn't learn the language. This response has sparked outrage on social media. While some users are heavily criticizing him, others argue that while speaking Marathi is essential for everyday working-class individuals like rickshaw drivers or vegetable vendors, it shouldn't matter as much if a celebrity living in Mumbai for 50 years struggles with it.
