With ‘Toxic,’ ‘Welcome To The Jungle,’ ‘Dragon,’ ‘Supergirl’ and ‘Disclosure Day,’ June Is Expected to Be a Blockbuster Month at The Indian Box Office
The first quarter of 2026 has turned out to be pretty productive for the Indian film industry, with movies like “Dhuranadhar 2,” “Border 2,” “Aadu 3,” “Prakambanam,” “Love Mocktail 3,” “Anaganaga Oka Raju,” “Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu,” “Thalaivar Thambi Thalaimaiyil,” “Thaai Kizhavi,” “With Love” and “Youth” turning out to be money-spinners at the box office.
