Jurassic World Rebirth box office collection day 6: Scarlett Johansson's blockbuster hits Rs 50 cr mark in India, earns more than double of Metro In Dino

Dinosaurs continue to dominate the Indian box office. Gareth Edwards' sci-fi action adventure thriller Jurassic World Rebirth has now crossed the Rs 50 crore mark in India, which is more than twice of the Bollywood film it released with last Friday on July 4 — Anurag Basu's musical romance Metro… In Dino. Jurassic World Rebirth added another Rs 3.25 crore to its Indian box office collection on Wednesday. While this marked the lowest single-day earnings of the Hollywood movie in India so far, it allowed the film to collect Rs 50.95 crore, as compared to Aditya Roy Kapur and Sara Ali Khan-Metro… In Dino, which has collected less than half of that, Rs 24.4 crore.
As per industry tracker Sacnilk, the lion's share in the total domestic box office collection of Jurassic World Rebirth comes from the native English version. However, on Tuesday, when the film earned Rs 4.5 crore across all four languages, the Hindi dubbed version (Rs 2.05 crore) surpassed the English one (Rs 1.85 crore) for the first time in its five-day run.
The Tamil and Telugu dubbed versions followed, respectively. The language-vise distribution of the Wednesday earnings hasn't been ascertained yet, but it'd be interesting to observe whether the Hindi dubbed version has edged past the native English one yet again. Jurassic World Rebirth became the first Hollywood film to have a Hindi premiere last week at Raj Mandir, Jaipur on Thursday, July 3.
Interestingly, the first instalment of the massive seven-part Jurassic franchise, Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park (1993), was one of the first-ever Hollywood films to be dubbed in Hindi. Jurassic Park's monstrous success spewed a franchise which included: The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997), Jurassic Park III (2001), Jurassic World (2015), Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018), Jurassic World Dominion (2022), and most recently, Jurassic World Rebirth.
Scarlett Johansson has taken over the lead actor duties in the Jurassic franchise from her Marvel co-star Chris Pratt. After a record-breaking opening weekend at the global box office at $318 million, Jurassic World Rebirth allowed Johansson to become the highest grossing lead actor in Hollywood history, beating fellow MCU stars Pratt, Robert Downey Jr, and Samuel L Jackson, along with Tom Hanks.
Starting this Friday, July 11, Jurassic World Rebirth will face fresh competition at the Indian box office, from Pulkit's gangster film Maalik, starring Rajkummar Rao, in the Hindi market, but mainly from James Gunn's superhero reboot Superman, starring David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan.

Co-produced by Universal Pictures and Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment, Jurassic World Rebirth also stars Mahershala Ali and Jonathan Bailey. The film, set in 2027, revolves around a group of adventurous junkies visit a far-away island to retrieve biomaterial samples from three rare dinosaur breeds to come up with a new heart disease treatment.

‘No Karnataka and Maharashtra people harmed': Gujaratis' warm embrace of Hindi wins hearts online amid language debates

In the midst of rising tensions around language identity in states like Karnataka and Maharashtra, a refreshing video from Gujarat is offering a different perspective, and it is winning hearts on social media. The clip, shared a day ago by content creator Jai Punjabi, features a series of candid street interviews shot in Gujarat. Punjabi begins each conversation admitting, 'Main Gujarat mein reh raha hun, par mujhe Gujarati nahi aati' (I live in Gujarat, but I don't know Gujarati). Instead of disapproval or awkwardness, he's met with warmth and humour. One man responds saying, 'Toh reh rahe ho na? Idhar koi dikkat hai? Shanti se raho aur rehne do' (You're living here, right? There aren't any issues? Live in peace and let others live in peace). This response struck a chord online. Another local, switching to Hindi for Punjabi's sake, says it's only natural to make outsiders feel at home. 'Tumhe nahi aati hai toh main Hindi bol raha hun, varna mereko bhi Gujarati aati hai' (Since you don't know Gujarati, I am speaking in Hindi. I know Gujarati), he explains. A third person reassures Punjabi that language is never a barrier in Gujarat. 'Koi problem nahi. Kya problem hai? Hum log Hindi mein bolenge na' (There's no problem. Is there one? We can talk in Hindi). It's the last interviewee who impressed netizens the most: 'Dekho, desh toh ek hi hai. India hai. Language alag alag hai. Par bolo prem se toh baat ek hi hai' (See, the country is one. It is India. Languages are many. But if we speak with love, everything is the same), he says. A post shared by Jai Punjabi (@jaipunjabii) The video has already garnered over 16 million views in just 24 hours, and the comments section is buzzing. 'No Karnataka and Maharashtra people harmed in this video,' one user said. Another wrote, 'Same with Goa. We try our best to speak Hindi, even if it's broken, but we never shame anyone for not knowing Konkani.' Of course, not everyone agreed. One user pointed out, 'Still, you should speak the language of the state you live in.'

Sachin Tendulkar's portrait unveiled at Lord's MCC museum

London: A new portrait of Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar was unveiled at the MCC Museum at Lord's ahead of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy third Test match between England and India. Painted by British artist Stuart Pearson Wright, the artwork captures a larger-than-life image of Tendulkar's head and shoulders and will remain in the museum before being moved to the Pavilion later this year. This is the fifth portrait of an Indian player in the MCC's famous collection and the fourth painted by Pearson Wright. Unlike his earlier full-length paintings of Kapil Dev, Bishan Bedi and Dilip Vengsarkar, this portrait takes a different approach with a close-up composition and an abstract background. Before the start of the third England vs India Test, Sachin Tendulkar had the honour of ringing the iconic five-minute bell at Lord's. Introduced in 2007, the tradition is one of cricket's most cherished, reserved for players who have left a lasting mark on the game - making Tendulkar a fitting choice for the occasion. The painting is based on a photograph the artist took at Tendulkar's home in Mumbai 18 years ago. Tendulkar, who retired from international cricket in 2013, is widely regarded as one of the greatest batters of all time. He scored 34,357 international runs across formats - over 6,000 more than the next highest, Kumar Sangakkara. Speaking about the honour, Tendulkar said, 'In 1983, when India won the World Cup, it was my first introduction to Lord's. I saw our captain, Kapil Dev, lift the trophy. That moment sparked my cricketing journey. Today, with my portrait going up inside the Pavilion, life feels like it's come full circle.' Pearson Wright explained his creative choice and said, 'MCC wanted something different from the previous portraits, so I focused on Sachin's face and used a heroic scale. The abstract background allows his features to stand out without placing him in a specific time or place.' The Lord's Portrait Programme has been running for over 30 years, but MCC's art collection dates back to the Victorian era. With nearly 300 portraits among 3,000 artworks, it remains one of the richest sporting collections in the world. Charlotte Goodhew, MCC's Collections and Programmes Manager, said, 'It's wonderful to add such a transcendental figure as Sachin Tendulkar to our portrait collection. Unveiling it during an England–India Test makes it even more special for fans visiting Lord's.'

Udit Narayan 's Perspective on Language Diversity Recently, singer Udit Narayan chimed in on the ongoing language debate. Speaking to IANS, he highlighted the significance of the local language while also respecting the diversity of languages across India. He stated, 'We live in Maharashtra and it is my 'Karma bhoomi' (workplace). So, the language here is also important. Along with that, all the languages in our country are equally important." Shilpa Shetty's Kannada Film Journey The Kannada film 'KD-The Devil' also stars Sanjay Dutt, Dhruva Sarja , Nora Fatehi, Reeshma Nanaiah, V. Ravichandran, Ramesh Aravind and Jisshu Sengupta .
