'Superman' box office collections day 8: James Gunn's film slows down; still steady at Rs 37 Cr India net
After a strong opening week, 'Superman' (3D) entered its second Friday with a noticeable dip in momentum. The film, which marked the beginning of James Gunn's new DC Universe, added an estimated Rs 1.50 crore to its India net collection on Day 8 as reported by the Sacnilk website.
This takes the total earnings to Rs 37 crore across all languages in the domestic market.
The 3D action spectacle, led by David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan, had wrapped up its Week 1 with Rs 35.5 crore, driven largely by strong weekend numbers. But with the arrival of new releases and a dip in word-of-mouth traction in certain regions, Superman is now showing signs of the typical second-week slowdown.
Superman The Immigrant? James Gunn's Bold Take On Hero's Identity Sets Fans Off In A Fiery Debate
Occupancy slips, especially in Hindi and regional markets
The overall English 3D occupancy on Friday, July 18, stood at 19.18%, with a steady rise through the day—starting at 6.72% in the morning and climbing to 34.86% by night.
However, the Hindi version saw a stark decline. Morning shows clocked just 3.57% occupancy, and even night shows only reached 7.53%. Tamil and Telugu markets also had an average occupancy hovering around 14–15%.
Where the film stands now
While the Rs 1.50 crore haul on Day 8 suggests slowing footfall, the film's positioning as the foundational entry into DCU Phase One might keep the momentum alive through the weekend.
ETimes review for the film reads, "Superman is entertaining, enjoyable, even epic but never intense.

James Gunn's non-origin story soars high visually but stays limited emotionally. The director's unyielding need to go traditional comes at a cost. It is still a tremendous cinematic experience that deserves to be watched in IMAX."
With competition heating up and word-of-mouth now mixed, the next few days will be crucial in determining whether Superman can fly past the Rs 50 crore India net mark or plateau in the mid-40s. For now, it holds steady—but the cape is flapping in slightly gentler winds.

Anupam Kher admits to stalking a girl during school days; weighs in on rising conflicts in modern relationships: ‘Why should girls tolerate…'
Veteran actor Anupam Kher recently opened up about his views on love, reflecting on how relationships during his younger days were, in his opinion, more meaningful compared to those in the current era. During the conversation, Anupam also candidly admitted to having stalked a girl during his school days and recalled how, coming from a small town, he was especially attracted to girls who studied in English-medium schools. Speaking to Raj Shamani about how relationships differed in his younger days compared to today, he said, 'I grew up in a small town there. We would take six months to look at each other, and after that, it would take three months to tell the person that you like them. Also, I was from a Hindi medium school, and I liked girls from the English medium school as there was a little outgoingness about them.' Admitting to stalking a girl during his school days because he didn't have the courage to speak to her, he said, 'There was a girl who would wear miniskirts at that time, and she had a pout. I used to just walk behind her with my best friend. We are talking about the time when everything took time and everything lasted for a longer time. We did not have much knowledge about love. We used to rise in love instead of falling in love.' When asked about which kind of love was better — his generation's or the current one — he firmly stated that the love he and his peers experienced was 'much better.' Explaining why, he said, 'Because I think relationships should be nurtured, and you should take your own time to discover a relationship. It's a discovery. Without passing judgment, there are a lot of people who were madly in love at this time also. But there was time to discover other people, and it took time to get to know each other's bad qualities.' Anupam also shared his thoughts on why conflicts are more common in relationships today, pointing to the rise in independence among both men and women. He said, 'Both of them are independent and rightfully so.' Using his parents' marriage as an example, he explained that they were married for 59 years and had clearly defined roles — his father was the breadwinner, and his mother managed the household. He added, 'Roles were divided back then and today because of the social structure, and rightfully so, girls are educated and empowered. Why should they take any kind of nonsense from a boy?'

Box Office: Saiyaara goes on an overdrive on Sunday; Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda starrer collects Rs 30 crore on day 3
The Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda-led Saiyaara has gone on an overdrive at the box office on Sunday, as very early trends are indicating Sunday business in the range of Rs 29.00 crore to Rs 31.00 crore, with chances to go higher too depending on how the night shows perform. The film was literally running to packed houses all across the board, and the exhibitors too have gone ahead to allot more shows to this Mohit Suri-directed romantic saga. The YRF-produced film opened at Rs 21.25 crore on Friday, followed by a jump to Rs 24.50 crore on Saturday, and peaking with Rs 30 crore on Sunday. The three-day total of Saiyaara is estimated to stand at Rs 75.75 crore, and the film is headed to record a strong hold in collections on Monday, as a large chunk of cinema-going audience have pre-booked their tickets for the fourth day due to capacity issues on Sunday. While the business on day one and day two was dominated by the youth and masses, the family audience have embraced the film on the third day, which is a great sign for the trajectory in long run for the romantic saga. The music has become extremely popular, and the on-ground reports are getting strong by the day, which is an early indication of an unbelievable lifetime number in the long run. These numbers have come in for rank newcomers, and it's after a while since a newcomer film has set the box office on fire. Saiyaara has successfully established Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda as potential stars in the horizon, and right choices from hereon can give the Gen-Z a new generation of heroes. These numbers are beyond historic and probably the biggest for a feature film in the post-pandemic world in real terms, as a film devoid of star-power could just hit the Rs 300 crore club in India. This is certainly the beginning of a new era, with romantic films beginning to hit the marque. If the weekend numbers have shocked you, await the weekday results, as we await the magic to hit a new high in the coming few days. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates!
