Superman Makes A Blockbuster Start At Indian Box Office, Mints Rs 7 Crore On Day 1
Superman's first-day collection in India is more than the combined opening day business of RajKummar Rao's Maalik and Shanaya Kapoor and Vikrant Massey's Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan.
James Gunn's superhero action film Superman has made a flying start at the Indian box office, outperforming Bollywood releases like RajKummar Rao's Maalik and Shanaya Kapoor's Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan. Headlined by David Corenswet, the Hollywood biggie earned an impressive Rs 7 crore nett on its opening day in India, according to sacnilk.com.
Going by the numbers, Superman is now the third-best opening for a Hollywood film in India in 2025 after Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning and the Scarlett Johansson-starrer Jurassic World: Rebirth.
The film garnered positive reviews from fans and critics alike which indicates a positive weekend for the makers. As expected, the film is performing strongly in premium formats such as IMAX and 4DX, with the biggest revenue coming from urban regions.
Notably, Superman's first-day collection in India is more than the combined opening day business of RajKummar Rao's Maalik and Shanaya Kapoor and Vikrant Massey's Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan. The gangster drama grossed Rs 3.35 crore, while Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan earned Rs 35 Lakhs on Day 1, as per sacnilk.com.
In comparison to other big Hollywood releases in recent times, Superman has outperformed Brad Pitt's racing films, F1, Final Destination: Bloodlines, as well as Captain America: Brave New World.
Apart from David Corenswet, the film also features Hollywood celebs like Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced and Milly Alcock.
The film follows the journey of a younger Clark Kent (played by David Corenswet) as he balances his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing, focusing on his early journey rather than retelling his origin story. The film depicts Superman navigating a public relations nightmare, a potential identity crisis, and his feelings for Lois Lane, while also dealing with a villainous Lex Luthor.
In India, the film was released with some edits suggested by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), which also included trimming a 33-second kiss between David and Rachel. According to Bollywood Hungama, the CBFC has instructed the production studio to delete every vulgar word said by the cast in Superman. Following the direction, an 8-second shot including a slang gesture was requested to be removed and replaced with a two-second shot.

Akshay Quit Barsaat After Media 'Mentioned Of A Relationship' With Priyanka, Recalls Producer
Last Updated: Akshay Kumar walked out of Barsaat amid buzz of tensions with Priyanka Chopra. Producer Suneel Darshan recalls how the sudden exit left him shocked. Filmmaker Suneel Darshan recently opened up about Akshay Kumar's sudden exit from the 2005 romantic drama Barsaat, which originally starred him along with Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif. The producer-director, who has collaborated with Akshay in several films over the years, revealed that the actor backed out after shooting a romantic song with Priyanka, allegedly due to issues in his personal life. Barsaat was eventually done by Bobby Deol, Priyanka Chopra and Bipasha Basu. Speaking to journalist Vickey Lalwani on his YouTube channel, Suneel said, 'Barsaat was designed immediately after Andaaz to again be a triangular love story with a new dimension, and Akshay was cast in the lead role." He recalled how Akshay had date issues and asked for a slight postponement, which the producer agreed to. Romantic Track With Priyanka Already Shot Suneel had already recorded the music and even filmed a song featuring Akshay and Priyanka. However, delays crept in when Priyanka had to travel for international commitments. 'Priyanka Chopra had some international shows for which she was out for 3 months. So the film kept getting delayed," he explained. By the time she returned and it was time to begin the final leg of the shoot, Akshay invited Suneel to his set, something unusual, as they always met at the producer's office. 'He called me to inform me that there were some issues which were uncontrollable and had repercussions on his personal life. He asked me to take a decision on how we move forward." Was It Priyanka or Him? Producer Opens Up While rumours of a relationship between Akshay and Priyanka had already caught the media's attention, Suneel clarified that it wasn't about Akshay refusing to work with her. 'Either of them, the circumstances had reached such a point where… there were issues," he said, adding that the actor left it up to the producer to choose between the two. He continued, 'The audience, the public, the media did mention of a relationship, which the wife got more of…" Suneel further revealed, 'Suddenly after asking that person to wait for 18 months for your dates, you one day just say, 'Sorry, I can't be a part of it.' I was shocked." Akshay Promised Compensation But It Wasn't Enough Though Akshay reportedly offered to do another film to make up for it, Suneel chose not to proceed with him. 'He did want to compensate by saying that I did the next film for you. But I did not. I just thought this was unbelievable. Coming from Akshay… your expectations were never too much." Despite the setback, the producer harboured no hard feelings. 'He had promised me he would want to do 100 movies with me. I managed to do seven," Suneel concluded.
