Box Office: F1 set to emerge as a blockbuster in India, Brad Pitt starrer amazes Rs 80 crore in 24 days
F1 adds Rs 7.50 crore to the tally in 4th weekend despite Saiyaara wave
After storming over Rs 34.50 in its opening week, F1 entered the Rs 50 crore mark in the second weekend and wrapped its second week by collecting Rs 24.50 crore. Furthermore, it garnered another Rs 13.50 crore in the third week, bringing the three-week cumulative total to Rs 72.50 crore net at the Indian box office.
The Brad Pitt -starrer entered its fourth weekend by collecting Rs 1.50 crore on Friday and recorded a significant jump of over 100% on Saturday and Sunday. The movie added Rs 3 crore each on Saturday and Sunday, concluding the weekend with a net collection of Rs 7.50 crore.
The total cume of F1 crossed Rs 80 crore net in India by the end of its 4th weekend. One must note that the Hollywood movie faced a major Hindi release, Saiyaara in its 4th weekend. Despite Saiyaara 's blockbuster debut, F1 held its ground and recorded a solid figure.
The Day Wise India Net Collections Of F1 Are As Under:
Will F1 hit the Rs 100 crore mark in India?
Based on the trends, F1 is expected to continue gaining traction for a couple of weeks. However, its pace will slow down with the arrival of Fantastic Four: First Steps next weekend. The movie had the chance of hitting Rs 100 crore at the box office, but now the figure looks a little challenging to achieve. It will be interesting to see where the sports drama will end its theatrical run in India.

Vicky Kaushal celebrates 10 years of 'Masaan': 'So much to learn, so much to grow'
New Delhi, Vicky Kaushal on Thursday celebrated 10 years of "Masaan", the critically-acclaimed film by director Neeraj Ghaywan that marked the actor's debut in Hindi cinema. Vicky Kaushal celebrates 10 years of 'Masaan': 'So much to learn, so much to grow' The Varanasi-set drama, written by Varun Grover, became a critical success after it was released on July 24, 2015, with Kaushal receiving praise for his role as Deepak Kumar, a lower caste student who falls in love with his upper caste classmate. "It's been a decade! So much to learn, so much to grow... thank you for everything," the 37-year-old actor posted on Instagram alongside stills from the film. "Masaan', a colloquial word in Varanasi for cremation ground, had its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival where it won two awards FIPRESCI award and the Promising Future prize in the Un Certain Regard section. The film weaved together two parallel stories that explore themes of love, loss, caste, guilt, and redemption. Since "Masaan", Kaushal has emerged as one of the top stars in Hindi cinema, receiving praise for his performances in films such as "Raman Raghav 2.0", "Raazi", "Sanju", "Uri: The Surgical Strike", "Sardar Udham" and most recently "Chhaava". In an interview with PTI ahead of the release of "Chhaava" in February, Kaushal said his journey in the industry so far has been nothing short of "surreal". 'Couldn't have imagined… It feels very surreal. It feels there is God who's blessing me and people's love has been so special. The kind of directors I got to work with in these ten years has been nothing short of a blessing. So, I truly feel supremely grateful,' Kaushal said. The actor, son of veteran stuntman Sham Kaushal, also revealed that during the shooting of "Masaan", they weren't even sure if the film would get a theatrical release. "We didn't know what's going to happen to the film. It was a small film made with very limited resources. It was a parallel cinema at that time. Now, the lines have blurred quite beautifully, but there was a clear demarcation between the two then. 'At that time, I was just trying to get opportunities to prove myself as an actor within the industry,' Kaushal said. Ghaywan, who recently returned to Cannes with his sophomore feature directorial "Homebound", shared behind-the-screen stills from the film. "10 years of 'Masaan'," he simply wrote. Grover wrote the story of "Masaan" as well as two songs, including "Tu Kisi Rail Si" and he posted a note on X to mark the film's 10th anniversary. "10 years to 'Masaan' today. A film that didn't succeed commercially and still permeated through the hearts of so many who interacted with it. Always grateful for the journey we took, the leap of faith we were allowed to make, and the love that keeps pouring in even after a decade. "Thanks to everyone on the crew - from every producer to actor to HOD to every lightman to the spotboys and camera attendants to the junior artistes - who gave it their all," he posted. Avinash Arun, the cinematographer of "Masaan" wrote on his Instagram Stories, "10 years of 'Masaan'. Thank you Neeraj and Varun for making us all part of this memorable experience." Also starring Richa Chadha, Shweta Tripathi, Sanjay Mishra and Pankaj Tripathi, the film was an Indo-French co-production, backed by Drishyam Films, Macassar Productions, Phantom Films, Sikhya Entertainment, Arte France Cinema and Pathe Productions.

Unnati Hooda, 17, defeats PV Sindhu at China Open 2025 in 73-minute marathon
Meticulous Sindhu-centric tactical preparation, defensive solidity and some clean, gutsy stroke hitting saw 17-year-old Unnati Hooda land the first blow on PV Sindhu, the 21-16, 19-21, 21-13 win coming in front of a gleaning Changzhou crowd, watching the earth shift slightly in Indian badminton, at China Open. The Haryana teenager, trained by her father and a bunch of sparring mates at Rohtak, has been considered a special talent since she was 14. There was always a stubbornness and abrasion to her game, where she feared no reputation, knew she had the strokes and power and pace to trouble big names, and never lacked self-belief. But it would need more than self-assured poise to get past Sindhu, even while she struggles to go deep into tournaments and is severely impeded in her speed, if not power. Hooda had come prepared – she had been preparing for months, in fact, after being blasted by a big rattling Sindhu game at Syed Modi last Lucknow winter. They were ranked No 35 and No 15 respectively. She knew the big smash would always loom and she needed to absorb that pressure, but she had plans to deny Sindhu any elevation to belt down her hits and keep her busy, head dragged down in retrieval, on the front court. This she did by severely testing Sindhu's lunge. Her height gives her the expansive attack, and even the reach to get to the front court. But the low lunge has always tested Sindhu, and Hooda kept peppering the forehand spots with pinpoint drops – some from huge imbalanced positions. Hooda set the tone early, and, never allowed Sindhu to snatch the lead in the opening set. A clean striker with the racquet, Hooda also has some pretty nifty footwork and anticipation. Her game pace might get tested, starting Akane Yamaguchi on Friday in the quarters, but against Sindhu, her gameplan was watertight. She didn't bother getting intimidated by Sindhu's reach, knowing that even if she retrieved 20 shots, she could fox her on the 21st. So she eschewed errors on the lines, took the uncertainty of minimal court drift, precision mistakes out of the equation. With a good 45 day training block, Hooda's fitness was optimum, and she came prepared for long rallies even as she claimed the opener 21-16, with a clean break from 13-13. Undaunted, her personality always has been, and those around the Indian team talk of her self-assurance when she was unfazed by Sindhu's reputation even when she made the Uber Cup squad at 14. There's no needle as such, but Hooda did hurry her serves (or simple serve the soonest) and twice found Sindhu nor quite ready to receive. Having broken the age old rule of no coaches when two Indians play, the duo also got on with setting down a clear rivalry, where they would use every help available to beat the other – in this case, lines idea coaches. It's always been tricky for Sindhu when she plays Indians – though her last loss came to Ruthvika Gadde years ago, though Saina Nehwal has beaten her in some important finals. Here was another fearless opponent, and it took two enormous cross court smashes for Sindhu to break the second set 19-19 deadlock. Except, the smash is always her last throw of the dice, and the headaches were mounting. Sindhu trailed 11-14, levelled at 15-15 and went on to push a decider, but it was at 13-13 in the second that Hooda made her point. After the rushing serve, the immediate point thereafter was one of the longest, blistering paced rallies played by Indians on the circuit in many years, and Hooda drew the best out of Sindhu even, like Nozomi Okuhara used to. Hooda used a variety of drops and tosses, at a fast clip, to harry Sindhu, and leave her panting. More nuanced was the body attack. Sindhu's body defense, owing to her frame has always been tentative, but Hooda didn't quite smash into her torso, simply looped the shuttle at awkward lengths forcing Sindhu to thwack it out of the court in an untidy parry. Most youngsters would be deflated at coming up to 19-all amd being denied the match in straight sets. Hooda though came to fight. In the decider, prepared for the decider crucially, she opened up the court cerebrally. Her ability to play set-up points leading up to a winnervor drawing out an error is rather impressive. She could lull Sindhu into thinking she had a chance, could push her to corners, trigger really awkward positions from which Sindhu struggled to recover for the next return. And then she brought out her own smash. It's not a power bazooka, but it's more than strictly workable. She puts a lot of shoulder on it, and two down the lines stunned Sindhu a little, as Hooda opened up a 15-10 lead. Continuously chasing, with Hooda calmly inscrutable in front of her, Sindhu couldn't quite take control of any rallies, besides going for the smashes. Hooda's own scramble defense is not too shabby – not on her body, not on the lines. And she simply threw herself at the shuttle, and even if she didn't retrieve half a dozen smashes, she bought herself time and breath with elaborate mopping of the court. It was pretty evident when Sindhu went for the lines and sent one wide, trying to keep the shuttle away from Hooda that she wasn't entirely comfortable. Two errors from over hitting brought Hooda to the threshold. And the win was sealed with an expansive cross court smash – that would make PV Sindhu very proud of her. Upkaar Hooda, Unnati's father, would say immediately after the match that they had skipped lunch preparing for the big match. The hunger to succeed, those in her team say, is quite insatiable. Beating PV Sindhu will be seen as only a start of a career – an appetizer.

India vs England 4th Test: N Jagadeesan called up after Rishabh Pant's injury at Old Trafford
With Rishabh Pant ruled out of the fifth Test against England and Ishan Kishan too nursing an injury, selectors have handed a maiden national call-up to Tamil Nadu wicketkeeper N Jagadeesan. The 29-year-old was informed by the selectors on Thursday afternoon to join the squad in England, and Jagadeesan now awaits the required visa to join the team at the earliest. When Pant was ruled out, Ishan was seen as the possible replacement, as he was even part of the County fixtures recently. But Ishan informed the selectors that he has an ankle injury and won't be able to recover in time or gain full match fitness. While KS Bharat was seen as an alternate option, it is understood that the selectors were not keen on going back to him after the Andhra wicketkeeper failed to grab his chances during the home Test series against England. As a result, Jagadeesan, who is next in line, has been added to the squad. The 29-year-old has been part of the India A set up in recent times. In 52 first-class matches, he has scored 10 centuries and 14 fifties at an average of 47.50 for a tally of 3373 runs. Primarily an opener, Jagadeesan has been among the consistent performers for Tamil Nadu in the Ranji Trophy and has a triple century to his name. Last season, with Pant still recovering, Jagadeesan was made part of the fringes of the Indian set-up with chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar flying to Chennai to watch him in a Ranji fixture against Karnataka. Apart from being an aggressive batsman, Jagadeesan is impressive behind the stumps as well. Earlier in the day, BCCI confirmed in a statement that Pant wouldn't keep wickets in Manchester. 'Rishabh Pant, who sustained an injury to his right foot on Day 1 of the Manchester Test, will not be performing wicket-keeping duties for the remainder of the match. Dhruv Jurel will assume the role of wicket-keeper. Despite his injury, Rishabh Pant has joined the team on Day 2 and will be available to bat as per team requirements,' the Board said. Pant did come out to bat to a standing ovation at Old Trafford after the fall of Shardul Thakur's wicket late in the first session. At Lord's, Pant had suffered a hand injury and Dhruv Jurel kept wickets. It is likely that Jurel will be the first-choice wicketkeeper to replace Pant in the final Test that will be played at The Oval in London, having been part of the squad since the Tour games.
