Superman Box Office: Man of Steel lifts off to 29cr weekend in India

Superman debuted with Rs. 29 crore (USD 3.40 million) approx at the Indian box office during its first weekend. The weekend ranks as the third biggest ever for a DC film, behind Batman v Superman (Rs. 34 crore) and Aquaman (Rs. 30 crore). However, both those films included previews, in terms of the pure Friday-Saturday-Sunday frame, Superman actually tops the list. Man of Steel..., not the movie but the man, also edged past Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (Rs. 28 crore), despite starting slightly behind on its first day. The film had a typical trend for a superhero movie, where Friday numbers are frontloaded due to fan-driven demand, resulting in relatively modest weekend growth. The film managed 35 per cent growth on Saturday, stronger than the norm by genre standards. Sunday saw a minor 5 per cent drop, which is again normal for Hollywood releases with a skew toward metro audiences. Similar to its weekend trend, the film is expected to follow the typical trajectory going forward. The Batman closed at Rs. 56 crore off Rs. 26 crore weekend, giving it a 2.15x multiple, while GoTG Vol. 3 managed 2.43x with Rs. 68 crore from Rs. 28 crore weekend. Superman will likely see something similar with a final number somewhere in Rs. 60-70 crore. The superhero genre is a major draw for Indian audiences when it comes to Hollywood, however, that success has largely been driven by Marvel. DC has historically lagged behind. Furthermore, director James Gunn's brand of filmmaking resonates more with the West than India. His Guardians films were among the lower-performing entries from the MCU in India as compared to the West. More broadly, the superhero genre itself has seen a slowdown lately, following its peak in the late 2010s and early 2020s. Taking all of that into account, the opening for Superman is a respectable one. In fact, relative to its softer start overseas outside the US, India is among the better markets for it.

How A Stunt By Amitabh Bachchan Going Wrong On Coolie Set Left Him "Clinically Dead"

New Delhi: In 1982, actor Amitabh Bachchan suffered a near-fatal injury on the sets of Coolie during the shooting of an action scene in Bengaluru. What Happened A mistimed punch during a fight sequence with actor Puneet Issar led to severe internal injuries, which left Amitabh Bachchan 'clinically dead' for a brief period. The incident shocked the entire nation and had a lasting impact on both actors involved. In an earlier interview with Digital Commentary, Puneet Issar opened up about how the incident changed the course of his career and life. "People were quite scared of me after that incident. They said he is an 8th-degree black belt holder. People created theories and assumptions. They said, 'Agar itna halka punch bruised Amitabh Bachchan so badly then....(what if he uses all his potential)," he said. The accident left Puneet jobless for nearly six years, and he recalled how difficult it was to find work again. He added, "That was maybe my churning period. It made me a better actor and human being." Puneet also said the incident taught him who his real friends were. "Irrespective of the phase, people learn a lot. I learnt to be patient and humble. One second changed my life from a 21-year-old who was signed as the main villain against Amitabh Bachchan, had 10 films in his kitty to someone who suddenly lost all his films. People suddenly forgot that I was a Gold Medalist from actor's studio and a trained artist. I was a professor of language and diction. All this vanished, I suddenly became a 'fighter'. From then, I only received such roles, and to make ends meet I had to take that up. I was married after all." Puneet Issar, who later gained fame for playing Duryodhana in BR Chopra's Mahabharat, said the Coolie incident made him stronger. "Bad times will come, but I couldn't afford to lose my focus", he said. What Did Amitabh Bachchan Say About The Incident Amitabh Bachchan, too, has spoken about the incident in his blog. Describing the critical moments after the injury, he wrote: "I went into almost a haze and a coma-like situation. Within five days of coming into Breach Candy, I had another surgery and didn't come out of that one for a very, very long time and I was clinically dead for a couple of minutes. Then Dr Wadia, who looked after me and is an absolute life-saver, just said 'I'm going to take a last chance' and he started pumping cortisone/adrenaline injections into me one after another almost, 40 ampules of it, with the hope that something would happen and then I got revived."
