Box Office Update: June 17, 2026
The box office witnessed an exciting day on June 17, 2026, with several new releases and holdovers vying for audience attention.

The film, directed by Vikram Khanna and starring Arjun Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra, has now crossed the ₹100 crore mark, solidifying its status as a major hit.
Haunted 3D: A Strong Contender
In second place was the horror franchise entry Haunted 3D, which earned approximately ₹4.2 crore nett on Wednesday. The film, starring Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor, has been well-received by audiences, particularly in multiplexes.

Overall Market
The overall box office collections for June 17 stood at around ₹18 crore, marking a decent weekday. Upcoming releases like Jungle Safari and Love in Paris are expected to boost footfalls over the weekend. Stay tuned for more updates.
