Baaghi 4 Satellite Premiere: Tiger Shroff and Sanjay Dutt's Action Thriller Set for Television Debut This Saturday

After completing its successful runs in theaters and on digital platforms, Tiger Shroff's high-octane actioner Baaghi 4 is finally set for its world television premiere. The film, which features a heavyweight face-off between Tiger Shroff and Sanjay Dutt, will make its satellite debut tonight, Saturday, March 14, at 8:00 PM.The television audience will now get to experience the film's blend of large-scale action sequences and the emotional vulnerability showcased by Shroff, particularly in the pivotal interval blocks. Directed by A. Harsha and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Baaghi 4 originally arrived in cinemas on September 5, 2025. During its comprehensive theatrical lifecycle, the film recorded an underwhelming run at the box office, spanning a total of 29,991 shows across domestic and international circuits. The movie concluded its theatrical run with a lifetime worldwide gross of ₹77.67 crore. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   This total included an India gross of ₹62.87 crore (amounting to ₹53.38 crore net) and a solid overseas contribution of ₹14.80 crore, performing particularly well in action-heavy markets. Prior to its television premiere, the film followed a strategic digital rollout on Amazon Prime Video. To maximize its reach, the producers implemented a tiered release, starting with a rental (TVOD) window on October 17, 2025, before moving to a standard streaming launch for all Prime subscribers on October 31, 2025. This multi-platform journey has allowed the film to sustain its visibility over the last several months before landing on satellite television. The satellite premiere on Zee Cinema marks the final stage of the film's primary distribution cycle. While the movie underperformed at the ticket windows, it secured substantial non-theatrical revenue, with satellite rights reported at approximately ₹25 crore and streaming rights (Prime Video) reported at around ₹50 crore. A strong viewership turnout is now expected, given the franchise's established popularity on television and the added attraction of Sanjay Dutt's veteran presence. With the television premiere tonight, the film is likely to reach a significant new audience among families and viewers who traditionally wait for the satellite broadcast of major action entertainers.

Dhurandhar: The Revenge Album Launch: Spotify Announces Exclusive Mumbai Event For Premium Users; Details Inside

Reports suggest that music streaming platform Spotify has initiated an exclusive fan engagement drive for the upcoming spy-thriller Dhurandhar: The Revenge. Several Spotify Premium users in India have noted receiving in-app alerts inviting them to register interest for the film's high-profile album launch event, signaling a targeted outreach for the highly anticipated soundtrack. The exclusive event is scheduled to take place in Mumbai on March 17, 2026, just two days prior to the film's worldwide theatrical release. According to the details provided in the in-app alert, the specially curated launch experience will offer a rare opportunity for fans to witness the music unveiling in the presence of the film's lead cast and crew. While the specific venue remains undisclosed for security reasons, it is highly anticipated that lead star Ranveer Singh and director Aditya Dhar will be the primary attendees. For fans eager to secure a spot, the registration window is extremely narrow. Premium subscribers have been directed to a dedicated interest form within the app, which must be completed and submitted by 6:00 PM IST on March 13, 2026. Spotify has clarified that attendance is not guaranteed by merely filling out the form; instead, a limited number of fans will be selected from the pool of registrants to receive official invites. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   The massive scale of this event is a direct reflection of the soundtrack's historic performance on global charts.

This level of international penetration for a complete Indian film album marks a significant milestone for the industry, justifying the intense anticipation surrounding the upcoming physical launch in Mumbai.

The film is officially set to hit theaters on March 19, 2026, coinciding with the festive weekend of Gudi Padwa and Ugadi.

Top 5 Indian Films With Longest Theatrical Runtime: Dhurandhar 2 Joins The Rank

Mumbai, March 12 - Indian cinema has often pushed the boundaries of storytelling with ambitious runtimes, especially when it comes to epic dramas and large-scale productions. Over the decades, several films have crossed the three-hour mark, but only a handful have gone far beyond that to become some of the longest theatrical releases in Indian film history. Over the last few years, several Indian films have crossed 3 hours of runtime, and a couple of them even went on to rank among the longest films ever. The upcoming sequel Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has reportedly joined this rare list with its massive runtime of nearly 4 hours, which is almost unheard of for an Indian title in recent times. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 1. LOC: Kargil (2003) J. P. Dutta's epic historical war film, based on the Kargil War, is the longest Indian film with a theatrical runtime of 4 hours and 15 minutes (255 minutes). Released in December 2023, the film featured a massive ensemble cast including Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Ajay Devgn, Saif Ali Khan, and Sunil Shetty, among others. 2. Mera Naam Joker (1970) Directed and headlined by Raj Kapoor, the epic romantic drama film has gained a cult status over the years despite being a theatrical flop. It remained the longest Indian theatrical title for over 3 decades, with 4 hours and 8 minutes (248 minutes). The movie also starred Simi Garewal, Kseniya Ryabinkina, Padmini, Manoj Kumar, Rajendra Kumar, Dharmendra, and Dara Singh. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 3. Sangam (1964) One of the first films to be shot abroad in locations including London, Paris and Switzerland, Sangam is a romantic musical drama, directed and headlined by Raj Kapoor.

Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge (2026) Directed by Aditya Dhar and starring Ranveer Singh, Dhurandhar 2 is the second part of the massive blockbuster Dhurandhar, which was released in December last year. Scheduled to hit the big screens on March 19, The Revenge reportedly carries a theatrical runtime of 3 hours and 55 minutes (235 minutes), which is mindboggling to think in today's time. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 5. Lagaan (2001) The Aamir Khan-fronted period sports drama had a runtime of 3 hours and 44 minutes (224 minutes). Directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, the film also featured Gracy Singh, Rachel Shelley and Paul Blackthorne in key roles. It was reportedly the costliest Indian film at the time of its release.
