UFO Cine Media Network has unveiled its marquee initiative, “India’s Biggest Cinema Moment Ever” Campaign, anchored around the simultaneous nationwide release of two mega action entertainers, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge and Toxic. With trade estimates and the PROCAT cinema measurement tool projecting nearly 100 million cumulative footfalls (Pan India, lifetime run), the upcoming release window is being positioned as one of the most commercially significant cinema moments in recent years.
The rare dual release brings together two high-decibel films with strong pre-release buzz and pan-India traction. Dhurandhar 2, The Revenge, a high-voltage India–Pakistan spy thriller, is slated for release in five languages, significantly expanding its reach across North and South markets. The franchise has built a substantial multi-language audience base through theatrical success and OTT consumption.
Toxic, headlined by pan-India star Yash, is expected to command massive turnout across Southern and national circuits. Yash’s previous theatrical outing, KGF: Chapter 2, grossed over ₹1,250 crore worldwide, underscoring his box-office pull and repeat-viewing fan base. Trade observers anticipate exceptional occupancies across Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, driven by heightened marketing momentum and strong audience anticipation.
Against this backdrop, UFO Cine Media Network is positioning the window as a defining advertising milestone.
Commenting on the announcement, Siddharth Bhardwaj, CEO – Enterprise Business, UFO Cine Media Network, said, “When two mass entertainers with pan-India appeal release simultaneously, the result is not just footfalls but concentrated national attention. With nearly 100 million expected footfalls, this window represents scale rarely seen in cinema. For brands, it offers a powerful combination of reach, immersion and accountability, a high-impact environment where messaging lands with clarity and recall deepens significantly.”
UFO operates across over 4,100 theatres nationwide, making it India’s largest in-cinema advertising platform. Its footprint spans multiplexes and single screens across metro and regional India, enabling synchronised national rollouts during tentpole release weekends.
Adding further perspective, Sachinn Guptaa, Country Head – Enterprise Business, UFO Cine Media Network, stated, “We are confidently announcing this as ‘India’s Biggest Cinema Moment Ever’ because the convergence of scale, geography and audience energy makes it comparable to the country’s largest media properties. While many platforms deliver reach, cinema delivers uninterrupted attention. Audiences are fully present and emotionally invested and that translates into stronger brand recall and measurable ROI. For advertisers planning performance-led campaigns, this is a strategic moment that cannot be overlooked.”

As India’s theatrical ecosystem continues to expand beyond metros into high-growth regional centres, large-scale dual releases are increasingly emerging as anchor moments in annual media planning calendars.
