Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning box office collection Day 16: Tom Cruise starrer hits Rs 90 crore mark on third weekend
Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning continues to hold strong at the Indian box office, crossing the Rs 90 crore milestone on its 16th day of release. According to early estimates from the film collected Rs 3.75 crore net across all languages on its third Sunday, maintaining steady traction over the weekend. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Directed by , the high-octane action sequel had a robust opening, garnering Rs 54.4 crore in its first week. However, its second-week earnings dipped sharply to Rs 26.75 crore, prompting concerns about its long-term performance. Despite the slowdown, The Final Reckoning rebounded over the third weekend. It earned Rs 1.9 crore on Friday, followed by Rs 3.65 crore on Saturday, and peaked at Rs 3.75 crore on Sunday. This brought its cumulative Indian box office collection to an estimated Rs 90.45 crore. The strong weekend performance suggests that the Mission: Impossible franchise continues to resonate with Indian audiences. However, whether it can surpass the Rs 110.3 crore total earned by last year's Dead Reckoning Part One over a nine-week run remains uncertain. Globally, the film added an estimated $27.3 million from 3,861 locations in the US. International markets contributed another $76.1 million—$25.2 million of which came from its China debut—bringing its worldwide total to approximately $353.8 million. While its global earnings are tracking in line with the previous two instalments, the film is still far from recouping its reported $400 million production budget, raising questions about its overall profitability. As the third weekend wraps up, all eyes remain on whether the Cruise-led blockbuster can sustain its box office momentum and secure a place among the highest-grossing titles in the Mission: Impossible series in India.

Varun Grover's short film Kiss turns cinema into a mirror for introspection
Directorial debuts are special, where you have an artist finally getting a chance to say something close and important to them as a person. That Kiss is lyricist and writer Varun Grover's first film (he made this before All India Rank) informs the viewer of the subject matter that has mattered to him at some point. (Also read: All India Rank movie review: Varun Grover makes a tender, crowd-pleasing directorial debut) The titular kiss here is between two men. At first, we only hear the sound of the sloppy lips against one another. This is unnecessary, as per the members of the censor board (Shubhrajyoti Barat and Swanand Kirkire). These two middle-aged men discuss with the young director Sam (Adarsh Gourav) about the point of keeping this scene. 'Kyu ka jawab koi artist kya dega, sir (Why will artists explain why)?' he asks. A post shared by MUBI India (@mubiindia) But there's a catch, as the three men rewatch the scene again to record how long this kiss lasts. For each one of them, the time stamp is different, ranging from 28 seconds to above 2 minutes. Why is this happening? Kiss then takes the opportunity to seek an answer to this very question, revealing how each one of them is bringing their own subjectivity into the way they observe, process, and express. Kiss is a film about censorship, which wants to interrogate the faces behind the regressive and draconian rules that curtail artistic expression. The ones which infantilise the audience with huge 'smoking kills' warnings and cutting scenes of films that are meant for adults. Kiss is also about cinema becoming a sort of medium for catharsis and introspection. We come to films with our own prejudices and opinions. The point is whether the darkness in the room allows us the space to unlearn and unpack some of those deep-seated notions of love and life. Packed within 15 minutes, Kiss pulsates with ideas and questions that might feel a little overpowering for its own sake, but the sincerity sticks. It is this sincerity and concern that makes Kiss stand out amid the disarray of the current crop of films that is being produced by the Hindi film industry at large. Take, for instance, the emergence of the hypermasculine figure in all his casual rage and unchecked violence. It is all in the service of rage, sidestepping nuance and empathy so casually. The man will kiss and the man will kill. That a short film like Kiss is about men making love is a step taken ahead, daring to ask (and yield) what might be the dichotomy after all. I have a feeling Varun Grover has more stories to tell. Kiss is available to watch on Mubi India.

Mission Impossible 8 Box Office Day 15: Tom Cruise's Film Earns Rs 3.5 Crore
Last Updated: Mission Impossible 8, directed by Christopher McQuarrie, earned Rs 86.41 crore in India. Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible 8 entered the third week in India on a strong note. Directed by Christopher McQuarrie and co-written with Erik Jendresen, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning marks Tom Cruise's final outing as the legendary spy Ethan Hunt. The film also stars Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Henry Czerny, and Angela Bassett. After a bit of a slow second week, the action-packed film picked up again over the weekend with a good jump in earnings. On Day 14 (the second Friday), it made Rs 1.76 crore, and on Day 15 (the third Saturday), the collections went up to Rs 3.50 crore, according to early estimates. With this, the film's total box office collection in India across all languages has reached a strong Rs 86.41 crore. Tom Cruise had even thanked everyone for the response his film received. In a note, he wrote, 'This weekend was one for the history books! Congratulations and thank you to every filmmaker, every artist, every crew member, and every single person who works at the studios. To every theater and every employee who helps bring these stories to audiences, thank you. To every one that works at Paramount Pictures and Skydance, thank you for your many years of partnership and unwavering support. And most of all, THANK YOU to audiences everywhere for whom we all serve and for whom we all LOVE to entertain." Mission Impossible 8 had released on May 17 after a successful premiere at the 77th Cannes Film Festival. It earned over five-minute standing ovation. Ahead of the release, Tom Cruise had left Indian fans delighted by speaking in Hindi during a promotional video. 'Main aap sab se bahut pyaar karta hoon. Mujpe bharosa karo, ek akhri baar (I love you all a lot. Trust me one last time)," he said. He also shared his fond memories of visiting India, adding, 'I feel so much love for India. I have to say the whole experience has been etched in my memory. Every single moment. From the moment I landed, going to the Taj Mahal, and spending time in Mumbai, I remember each moment quite vividly." A part of News18's review of the film read, 'But what truly sets The Final Reckoning apart is its tone. It's not just an action blockbuster. It's an elegy. A goodbye. A thank-you. And somehow, despite all the chaos, it's also a reckoning with legacy, with sacrifice, with what it really means to be a hero when the world keeps moving the goalpost. The Final Reckoning is the most fitting, heart-racing, gut-wrenching finale Ethan Hunt could've asked for. If this really is the last mission, then hats off, Mr. Cruise. You didn't just complete it. You aced it." First Published:
