F1 box office collection day 1: Brad Pitt's sports drama earns Rs 5.25 cr in India
F1 box office collection day 1: F1, one of the biggest films of the year, hit the screens on Friday (June 27) and opened to a good response at the Indian box office. The sports action drama also received positive reviews. F1 is directed by Joseph Kosinski of Top Gun: Maverick fame.
F1 opens well in India
Brad Pitt is in the limelight because of his latest film F1, which is out in theaters now. It opened to a good response in India and also impressed moviegoers. According to Sacnilk, a trade website, the sports action drama earned Rs 5.25 crore (nett) on the first day.
It has outperformed Jackie Chan's Karate Kid Legends, which made Rs 1.75 crore on the first day. It has, however, failed to beat MI 8. Tom Cruise's action drama made Rs 16.5 crore on its opening day.
The film has received positive reviews with critics lauding the performances and the execution. The healthy word-of-mouth is expected to help it witness good growth on the weekend. F1 has been released alongside Maa, starring Kajol, and the Vishnu Manchu-fronted Kannappa.
It, however, is unlikely to face competition from them as they cater to a different audience. The Telugu biggie is meant for those fond of devotional action dramas. Maa, meanwhile, caters to those craving horror dramas with a 'desi' touch.

Do Aditya Roy Kapur and Sara Ali Khan have a marriage spell on their co-stars? Check out the 'Life - Altaring' pattern
Imagine if the 2007 hit 'Good Luck Chuck' was real, with the classic Indian twist and a dash of Bollywood drama. Well, that's what has been happening with the upcoming on-screen couple: Aditya Roy Kapur and Sara Ali Khan . Aditya Roy Kapur's co-stars tend to get married after working with him, and Khan's filmography indicates the exact cinematic 'marriage spell' as well! Aditya Roy Kapur's co-stars get married... During a segment of 'The Great Indian Kapil Show,' Kapil Sharma called out the mind-blowing pattern of Aditya Roy Kapur, suggesting the same fate (with the raised eyebrows) for Sara Ali Khan. In a teaser video of the upcoming episode, the 44-year-old comedian said, 'Toh doston aapko mazedaar cheez batata hoon, aap sabne notice toh kiya hoga, Fitoor mein Aditya ne Katrina ke saath kaam kiya, unki shaadi ho gayi( So friends, let me tell you a fun fact; y'all must have noticed it. In 'Fitoor,' Aditya worked with Katrina Kaif , who got married).' He further continued, 'Sadak 2 mein inhone Alia ke saath kaam kiya, Alia ki shaadi ho gayi, Night Manager mein inhone Sobhita ke saath kaam kiya, uski shaadi ho gayi, toh Sara….iske baad? (In 'Sadak 2,' he worked with Alia Bhatt , who got married. In 'Night Manager,' he worked with Sobhita Dhulipala, who got married. So Sara….after this?)' Sara Ali Khan's co-stars are walking down the aisle as well.... Presenting the statistics, Sara Ali Khan has also worked with the stars who got married to their partners during the shoot, or immediately after they shot their film. At the trailer launch of 'Zara Hatke Zara Bachke' with Vicky Kaushal, the 29-year-old pointed out that he is now on the list of actors who have been coupled after working with her. She further humourously commented that if anyone is interested in marriage, or any woman is interested in getting their partners to marry them, they should sign a film with her, adding that there is something about her energy that makes people run and marry. Sara Ali Khan worked with Ranveer Singh in the 2018 hit 'Simmba,' who got married to Deepika Padukone in 2018. She collaborated with Varun Dhawan in the 2020's 'Coolie No. 1,' who shared vows with Natasha Dalal in 2021. Adding to the list, she co-starred with Vikrant Massey in the 2023's 'Gaslight,' which went on the floors in 2022, the same year he got hitched to Sheetal Thakur.
