Box Office: F1 continues to draw audience in week five; Collects Rs 88 crore net in 35 days

Pink Villa2 days ago
F1, directed by Joseph Kosinski and starring Brad Pitt, Kerry Condon, Damson Idris, Javier Bardem and others, is still holding its own at the Indian box office. The film's collections have not been affected, despite it losing all of its high performing IMAX screens, and despite facing new local competition every week. After 5 weeks, the movie's collections stand at Rs 88 crore and it still has some steam left. There is news that the movie will release in IMAX screens and if that happens on a large scale, a Rs 100 crore touch-and go finish can't be ruled out. For now, it looks to cross Mission: Impossible 8 to become the highest Hollywood grosser of the summer.
The Week Wise India Net Box Office Collections Of F1 Are As Under
Week India Net Collection
1 Rs 34.50 crore
2 Rs 24.90 crore
3 Rs 13.45 crore
4 Rs 10.90 crore
5 Rs 4.25 crore
Total Rs 88 crore net in 5 weeks
F1 Heads For A Usd 600 Million Global Finish
F1 released with very subdued expectations. The movie was never meant to do over USD 300 million worldwide. However, the racing film kept crushing predictions, week after week. Now, it is expected to end its run in the USD 580 - 600 million vicinity, and who knows, the late legs can help it even go beyond USD 600 million. There's no doubt that F1 is the summer's biggest surprise, even though there have been more profitable films all summer. Lilo and Stitch, How To Train Your Dragon, Jurassic World: Rebirth and Superman are bigger hits but none of them surprised the trackers more than F1 did.
Brad Pitt Shows His Movie Star Power
Brad Pitt was going through a lul phase in his career and there really needed to be a film like F1 to show to the audiences, why he is loved so much. Movie stars are movie stars because they have the ability to cater to all kinds of audiences. Through the course of his career, Pitt has delivered so many different films for different audiences, that the result of F1 should not be a surprise to anyone.

Film policy will ensure gender equality, says minister

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: A film policy that ensures gender equality, addresses issues of junior artists and promotes independent cinema was what the state government promised as the two-day Kerala Film Policy Conclave organised by the culture department came to a close in Thiruvananthapuram on Sunday. Culture Minister Saji Cherian said the state policy will ensure complete safety and gender equality for men and women working at shooting locations, and addresss the issues of junior artists' regarding wages, working hours and basic facilities. 'Since cinema is a form of employment, labour laws are applicable to everyone in the industry. The government will ensure job security for all in the film field. It will roll out e-ticketing in theatres this year, and has allocated Rs 5 crore for implementation,' Cherian said while presenting his report. He said the policy will not just address cinema, but also include television. 'A reworked version of the POSH Act for the film industry was released as a booklet during the conclave. We have taken two or three meaningful steps to secure a better future for Malayalam cinema. There is still a long way to go,' he said. The film policy will ensure independent films are screened at least once in government theatres. The state will explore ways to offer subsidies to such films. Permissions for film shoots will be streamlined via a single-window clearance system.

At open forum, junior artists object to agents' cut

Junior artists are often arranged by coordinators through such agents, Hari said 'We are often allotted up to Rs 1,500, but end up getting just Rs 500-600,' he said. 'We have our disagreements with the initial policy framework forwarded by the government, which empowers these agents,' MAAK president Shaijunath P said. The plight of female junior artists is even more pathetic, said Shobhana Sundaran, an artist from Thrissur. 'For female artists, a clean toilet is more important than food, which is not available on many sets,' she said. Adding that many continue to work as junior artists despite challenges due to lack of other work opportunities, she said that though they are often hired by trustworthy people, the situation, more often than not, ends up going south. 'While shooting of L2: Empuraan, we were left stranded at midnight without proper accommodation. It was arranged after several hours,' she said. The film policy, which the government is looking to roll out within two months, is expected to address their issues as well. Meanwhile, Film Employees Federation of Kerala (FEFKA)officials refuted the claims. 'We provide food on film sets based solely on head count, without any discrimination,' FEFKA Production Executives' Union joint secretary Shaji Pattikkara told TNIE, adding that it is impractical not to assign agents for access to junior artists.

‘Mahavatar Narsimha' box office collections day 10: Ashwin Kumar's animated epic crosses Rs 91 cr; sees steady growth

Ashwin Kumar 's 'Mahavatar Narsimha', an animated retelling of Lord Vishnu's fierce avatars, continues its remarkable box office journey. Trade reports state that the film earned over Rs 91.45 crores worldwide by day 10. Steady growth across languages; Hindi version dominates the numbers According to the Sacnilk website, while 'Mahavatar Narsimha' opened to a modest Rs 1.35 crore in Hindi on day 1, the version showed strong momentum, pulling in Rs 67.45 crore over ten days. Day 10 alone saw Hindi collections jump to Rs 18 crore. This marks it as the film's highest single-day collection. The Telugu version collected Rs 20.37 crore overall. Kannada and Tamil versions contributed Rs 2.33 crore and Rs 1.06 crore, respectively. The Malayalam version, though limited in reach, still added Rs 24 lakhs. In total, the India net collection stands at Rs 83 crore, with Rs 91.45 crore grossed globally. This shows the film's slow but consistent build through word-of-mouth and regional reach. Timeless mythological tale meets modern medium What sets 'Mahavatar Narsimha' apart is its blend of faith, storytelling, and animation. Audiences are finding an emotional connection in Prahlad's steadfast belief and the eventual divine justice delivered by Narsimha. The film received much love from the audience. One Twitter user wrote, "Indian animation has often struggled to break out of its cartoonish image, but the animation in Mahavatar Narsimha is impressive despite the film's modest budget." Another one wrote, "The visuals, the sound, the divine felt like a spiritual calling wrapped in cinematic brilliance. It reminded me of the raw power of faith, protection, and inner strength. #MahavatarNarsimha #cinema." 'Mahavatar Narsimha' Rockets to ₹37 Crore in Six Days—Animated Epic Becomes Surprise Hit
