Meanwhile, Fire and Ash is facing really tought challenge from Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar, currently in its third week. On day 17, third Sunday, it crossed ₹ 545 crore at box office and will soon become the top 10 best performing films of all time in India.

After Bourne star Matt Damon claimed he missed out on as much as $250 million by turning down 2009's Avatar, filmmaker James Cameron has finally set the record straight.

Fans can see the Matt Damon-less Avatar: Fire and Ash in theaters nationwide. Also, revisit the previous two Avatar films now with a Disney+ subscription. Those who love the Jason Bourne star can see him in his own big Hollywood blockbuster, The Odyssey, which heads to cinemas on July 17 amid the 2026 movie schedule.

It's a he-said/he-said situation, as the director refutes the actor's claims about turning down a lucrative offer to star in the franchise.

Fire and Ash is nothing short of a big-budget extravaganza that excels on almost every level. If the movie feels a bit too lengthy at certain intervals early on before it becomes great, the film more than makes up for that problem in many other areas.

I suspect it is because film critics are reviewing a movie. The audience is reviewing a video game. To be clear, I don’t mean “video game” as an insult. I mean that the audience is prioritizing immersion over narrative.
