'Jurassic World: Rebirth' box office collection Day 4 – Scarlett Johansson starrer sees major drop, earns Rs 4.25 crore on first Monday
After a roaring start over the weekend, Jurassic World: Rebirth witnessed a significant dip in collections on its first Monday. The Scarlett Johansson-led dinosaur thriller managed to earn an estimated Rs 4.25 crore on Day 4, marking a sharp drop from its Sunday collection of Rs 16.25 crore, according to reports on The film opened on Friday with a strong collection of Rs 9.25 crore, saw growth over Saturday with Rs 13.5 crore, and peaked on Sunday. Its three-day opening weekend stood at an impressive Rs 39 crore net. According to the film's production house, the movie opened to an extraordinary start, with a massive box office collection of Rs 49.3 crores in the Indian release weekend. With this, the film's box office total even surpassed the opening weekend numbers of Jurassic World: Dominion (Rs 44 crore gross in India). However, Monday's decline from the weekend high signals the usual weekday slump, raising questions about how the film will sustain through the week. The overall India net collection now stands at approximately ₹43.25 crore after four days. Language-wise, the English version continues to dominate with Rs 18.5 crore over the weekend, followed by the Hindi dub at Rs 13.5 crore. The Tamil and Telugu versions together contributed Rs 6.2 crore. Monday's drop was visible across all language markets. This action-packed new chapter sees an extraction team venture into the most dangerous place on Earth, an island research facility for the original Jurassic Park, inhabited by the most uncontrollable giants that were left behind. Audience word-of-mouth remains mixed, with some praise coming in for Johansson's performance and the film's visual spectacle, but some criticism was directed at the predictable plot. The coming days will be crucial for the film's long-term run, especially with new releases like the superhero movie 'Superman' lined up for release later this week.

Sudhanshu Pandey reveals a special gift given from Anupamaa's on-screen father Arvind Vaidya
Anupamaa actor Sudhanshu Pandey , known for playing the layered and intense character of Vanraj Shah, recently opened up his beautifully designed home in an interview with Mashable India. His space reflects his personality—calm, rooted, and spiritually inclined. Among the many highlights of his serene home is a unique Mahadev-themed art piece that holds deep emotional value for him. The actor revealed that the centerpiece was a heartfelt gift from his Anupamaa co-star Arvind Vaidya , who plays Vanraj's on-screen father, Bapuji. 'This art piece was given to me by my Bapuji. He played my father in Anupamaa. Aunty and he gifted me this,' Sudhanshu shared with pride and affection. The Mahadev fountain, with its continuous flow of water, has a special mechanism that mimics an abhishek. 'The best part is that 24x7 abhishek hoti rehti hai, constantly water is flowing. It's a fountain type mechanism. It is a very positive thing,' he explained, adding how the sacred corner in his house brings him peace and a sense of grounding. A vastu specialist also painted a special wall hanging near the corner to enhance the space's spiritual energy. Beyond his spiritual side, Sudhanshu Pandey's career is as layered as the characters he plays. He started as a model and was also a member of the first Indian boy band A Band of Boys. He later transitioned to acting and made his mark in Bollywood with films like Khiladi 420, Singh Is Kinng, and Dus Kahaniyaan. However, it was his role as Vanraj in Anupamaa that brought him massive fame and critical acclaim, establishing him as one of Indian television's most compelling male leads. From music to movies to prime-time television, Sudhanshu Pandey continues to inspire with both his craft and personal grace. He was last seen in web reality show called Traitors.

F1 Day 11 India Box Office: Brad Pitt starrer establishes firm grip on 2nd Monday; Adds a spectacular Rs 2.40 crore net
F1, directed by Joseph Kosinski and starring Brad Pitt, Kerry Condon, Damson Idris, Javier Bardem and others, added another Rs 2.25 - 2.50 crore net at the Indian box office on day 11. With this, the collections of F1 -The Movie stand at around Rs 51.90 crore net, a number that no one would have even imagined. The film is on course for a Rs 70 crore plus net lifetime total. It can do more and these are just conservative estimates. The India Net Collections Of F1 Are As Under F1 Collects Rs 2.40 Crore Net On 2nd Monday; To Lose IMAX Screens To Superman The Coming Friday F1 loses IMAX screens to Superman this Friday. Superman will keep the IMAX screens to itself for a good couple of weeks. That's the reason the lifetime India net estimates are at a conservative Rs 70 crore. If not for the stacked IMAX scheduling, F1 could keep getting audiences for weeks. Now, the week 3 and week 4 performance of F1 in India will be interesting to observe, when all it has is standard screens and other premium screens apart from IMAX to generate business from. Even in the standard screens, it will have to compete with a bunch of different holdover as well as new releases. F1's Word Of Mouth Is Incredibly Strong, As Suggested By The Minimal Drop In Collections Every Day Coming back to F1's 2nd Monday collections, even if the movie collected Rs 2.40 crore on its opening day, it would be considered as a good result. For it to do this on day 11, speaks volumes of the strong word of mouth that it is enjoying. It is far from exhausting its audience, yet. Brad Pitt, after a turbulent recent run at the movies, is back with a bang. F1 Is Projected To End Its Run In The USD 500 Million Vicinity F1 is projected to gross USD 500 million worldwide in its lifetime. It crossed USD 300 million globally on 2nd Monday and there's no fatigue to be seen. The competition with Jurassic World: Rebirth resulted in division of screens and interest, but the occupancies are still at an astoundingly high level. F1 In Theatres F1 plays in theatres now. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more box office updates on F1.
