Deepika Padukone Reacts To Brad Pitt's ‘F1' Performance: That's It, That's The Post
Mumbai: Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone has publicly expressed her admiration for Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt following the release of his highly anticipated racing film, 'F1.'
The actress took to her official Instagram account on Sunday to express her excitement over Brad Pitt's performance in the film.
Posting a cheeky tribute on her Instagram stories, Deepika wrote, "Brad Pitt. That's it, that's the post. IYKYK."
Since its international release on June 27, 'F1' has garnered widespread praise from both audiences and critics.
Directed by Joseph Kosinski, best known for his work on 'Top Gun: Maverick', the film tells the story of Sonny Hayes, a veteran Formula One driver played by Brad Pitt, who makes a comeback to the sport after a 30-year hiatus.
The movie is produced in collaboration with Formula 1 legend Lewis Hamilton, ensuring a high degree of authenticity in the racing world depicted on-screen.
The excitement surrounding the movie reached new heights during its celebrity-packed premiere in London, which saw the presence of superstars such as Tom Cruise.
'F1' has also received praise for its all-star ensemble cast, including Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, Tobias Menzies, Sarah Niles, and others.
In the film, Pitt's character, Sonny Hayes, is brought back into the world of Formula One by his former teammate Ruben Cervantes (played by Javier Bardem), who now owns a struggling F1 team.
As Sonny attempts to help the team make a comeback, he faces challenges both on and off the track, including reconciling with his past.
The film's plot revolves around Sonny Hayes, who was once a talented and promising driver before a severe accident ended his career.
Decades later, he is convinced to return to the sport by Cervantes, who seeks to revive his failing team. As Sonny works alongside the young and ambitious driver Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), he must overcome his personal demons and confront the rapidly changing world of Formula 1.
Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and Lewis Hamilton, 'F1' also features a powerful soundtrack composed by Hans Zimmer, blending electronic and orchestral sounds to capture the high-octane nature of the sport.
The soundtrack includes tracks by artists like Ed Sheeran, ROSÉ, and RAYE.

Cristiano Ronaldo prioritising a record 6th World Cup over the Club World Cup
Resting up to play in a record sixth World Cup was more important to Cristiano Ronaldo than switching teams to play in the Club World Cup. 'I had some offers to play (Club) World Cup but I think it didn't make sense because I prefer to have a good rest, a good preparation, because this season will be very long, because this is the season of the World Cup, at the end of the season,' Ronaldo said in an Instagram video posted by his Saudi Arabian club, Al Nassr, after signing a two-year extension. 'So I want to be ready not only for Al Nassr but also for the national team.' The 40-year-old Ronaldo helped Portugal to the Nations League trophy with a penalty shootout win over Spain three weeks ago as speculation swirled that he would transfer to another club to play in the Club World Cup currently being contested in the United States. He and longtime Argentina rival Lionel Messi could be the first players to appear in six World Cups at next year's tournament co-hosted by the U.S., Canada and Mexico. In Qatar three years ago, Ronaldo became the first male player to score at five World Cups. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner's extension with Al Nassr means he will play on until at least the age of 42. (AP) UNG

‘F1' box-office collection: Brad Pitt's film speeds to $144M global debut, becomes Apple's biggest box office launch
Apple Original Films has scored its biggest theatrical success to date with 'F1', the high-octane Formula 1 drama starring Brad Pitt, which sped to an impressive $144 million global opening weekend. The Joseph Kosinski-directed feature launched across 78 international markets, collecting $88.4 million overseas and a further $55.6 million domestically. Exceeding pre-weekend projections, 'F1' not only delivered Apple's strongest box office launch but also claimed the No. 1 position among U.S. films in 74 out of 78 international territories. The film's global Imax take reached $27.7 million, with overseas markets accounting for $11.1 million of that — particularly strong showings in the UK, Japan, and South Korea. In China, 'F1' delivered $3.8 million on Imax alone, representing a massive 43% share of the country's total box office for the film. In the UK, 'F1' had a strong pole position despite soaring summer temperatures, earning $9.2 million including previews. That figure places it on par with Pitt's 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' and ahead of 'Fast X' by 17%, as well as 78% above 'Bad Boys: Ride or Die'. Comparatively, the film is tracking at current exchange rates alongside 'Gladiator II', performing 18% stronger than 'World War Z', 34% ahead of 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood', 58% above 'Bad Boys: Ride or Die', and a substantial 152% over 'Bullet Train'. The film's European performance has been especially notable, with 'F1' delivering the biggest opening weekend ever for an Apple title in the region. Eastern Europe, where Formula 1 enjoys significant popularity, has emerged as a standout contributor. As 'F1' continues its theatrical rollout, the success signals growing appetite for Apple's big-screen ventures and cements Brad Pitt's star power in global markets. With critical acclaim and strong fan interest, the film is expected to maintain momentum in the weeks ahead, particularly in territories where Formula 1 commands a devoted following.
