Box Office: F1 set to emerge as a blockbuster in India, Brad Pitt starrer amazes Rs 80 crore in 24 days

Pink Villa17 hours ago
F1, starring Brad Pitt in the lead, continues to storm the box office in India. The sports drama, directed by Joseph Kosinski, won hearts in India and proved to be a big success.
F1 adds Rs 7.50 crore to the tally in 4th weekend despite Saiyaara wave
After storming over Rs 34.50 in its opening week, F1 entered the Rs 50 crore mark in the second weekend and wrapped its second week by collecting Rs 24.50 crore. Furthermore, it garnered another Rs 13.50 crore in the third week, bringing the three-week cumulative total to Rs 72.50 crore net at the Indian box office.
The Brad Pitt -starrer entered its fourth weekend by collecting Rs 1.50 crore on Friday and recorded a significant jump of over 100% on Saturday and Sunday. The movie added Rs 3 crore each on Saturday and Sunday, concluding the weekend with a net collection of Rs 7.50 crore.
The total cume of F1 crossed Rs 80 crore net in India by the end of its 4th weekend. One must note that the Hollywood movie faced a major Hindi release, Saiyaara in its 4th weekend. Despite Saiyaara 's blockbuster debut, F1 held its ground and recorded a solid figure.
The Day Wise India Net Collections Of F1 Are As Under:
Will F1 hit the Rs 100 crore mark in India?
Based on the trends, F1 is expected to continue gaining traction for a couple of weeks. However, its pace will slow down with the arrival of Fantastic Four: First Steps next weekend. The movie had the chance of hitting Rs 100 crore at the box office, but now the figure looks a little challenging to achieve. It will be interesting to see where the sports drama will end its theatrical run in India.

‘Saiyaara' box office: Ahaan Panday-Aneet Padda romance crosses ₹100 crore mark in just four days

Mohit Suri's Saiyaara, starring debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, continued its strong run at the box office on Monday, earning an estimated ₹22.50 crore (India net) on its fourth day. With this, the film's total domestic collection stands at approximately ₹105.75 crore, according to early figures from Sacnilk. The romantic drama had already surprised the industry with a stellar opening weekend, collecting ₹21.5 crore on Friday, followed by ₹26 crore on Saturday and ₹35.75 crore on Sunday. While Monday saw a dip of around 37% from Sunday's total, the day's earnings still exceeded those of its opening day, which is an especially rare feat for a film led by newcomers. Saiyaara has quickly emerged as one of the most successful Hindi releases of 2025. It now ranks seventh among the year's top-grossing Hindi films, overtaking the total lifetime domestic collections of several big-ticket projects, including Kesari Chapter 2 (₹92.53 crore) and Jaat (₹88.26 crore). The film is now eyeing Sikandar, Salman Khan's release, which currently sits at ₹110.1 crore. With a reported 41.87% occupancy rate on Monday — peaking at nearly 60% during night shows — Saiyaara has also outperformed recent romantic dramas by a wide margin. Its four-day total surpasses the first-week numbers of films like Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, Teri Baaton Mein Aisi Uljha Jiya, and Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar. Driven largely by positive word-of-mouth and audience engagement on social media, Saiyaara has bucked conventional marketing trends and delivered a breakout success. The film's performance on weekdays will be crucial in determining how far it can climb in the coming weeks, but early signs suggest it's far from slowing down.

India tour of England: India vs England fourth Test in Manchester preview

An injury-plagued India could be forced to depart from its preferred template when it takes on a reinvigorated England in the fourth Test starting here on Wednesday (July 23, 2025), hoping to end a winless record at the storied Old Trafford and draw level in what has been a compelling series so far. Following the first Test in Leeds, India had found a settled line-up by fielding three all-rounders in the playing eleven including Nitish Reddy, who has now been ruled of the series due to a knee injury. With Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar being the two spin bowling all-rounders, India had the cushion of batting till number eight but that may not be the case in Manchester, where the visitors are yet to win in nine attempts including four losses and five draws. England are leading 2-1 going into the penultimate game of the rubber. Shardul Thakur, who played the series-opener, would be the direct replacement for Reddy in the playing eleven but he doesn't provide the same batting quality. If selected, he would have to up his game with the ball too as Reddy had produced timely wickets in the third Test at Lord's. Considering the options available, India could also go back to the combination they played at Leeds where they had only one spinner in Jadeja and there were specialist batters till number six with both Karun Nair and Sai Sudharsan in the playing eleven. Also in the mix are uncapped pacer Anshul Kamboj and Prasidh Krishna. Either of them can come in for Akash Deep if he is not able to recover fully from his groin injury. Like Akash Deep, Kamboj can generate plenty of seam movement and he also looked in good shape in the first outdoor training session ahead of the high-stakes contest. He was also a part of India A's shadow tour of England. Pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah and workhorse Mohammed Siraj are two certain starters in the playing eleven. Lord's was the first time in the series that Indian batters faltered and the Shubman Gill-led line-up would be looking to course correct with all to play for. Despite low returns in the third Test, Gill has aggregated more than 600 runs in the series and from the team's point of view, he would need to return to his heavy scoring ways. Jofra Archer got the better of Yashasvi Jaiswal twice in his successful return to Test cricket and the young Indian left-hander would be better prepared to deal with the extra pace of the England fast bowler. Gill has been the team's leading run getter but someone who has looked most assured in the middle across six innings is K L Rahul, having provided a batting masterclass in English conditions at the top of the order. Considering the training session 48 hours before the game, Rishabh Pant appears to have fully recovered from his finger injury and would be performing his dual duties as usual. If Nair gets another opportunity, he would be desperate to convert his starts into a big score. With fourth 50-plus scores on the trot, Ravindra Jadeja has been rock solid in the middle order but is expected to do more with the ball. Compared to other venues in the country, India don't play that regularly here with their last outing at Old Trafford coming in 2014. The last hundred from an Indian at this ground came from the bat of Sachin Tendulkar way back in 1990. While India are in a must-win situation, England are in the driver's seat having taken the series lead at Lord's. Like they usually do, Ben Stokes picked his playing eleven before the game and the only change for Wednesday is Liam Dawson coming in for the injured Shoaib Bashir. The left-arm spinner last played for England in July 2017. It has been raining regularly in Manchester for the past week or so and there is forecast for light showers for the majority of the five days. Considering the damp weather, there would be moisture to exploit for the fast bowlers on day one. Tempers flaring on both sides has added to the excitement of the series and Old Trafford promises to be another cracker. "Every game we've played so far has gone into the last hour of the game, which you do not see very often. I've had a lot of people come up to me saying 'it's been an amazing series, thank you'. "Everybody said that the Lord's game was one of the best games that they've watched, so it's been an amazing series and I'm looking forward to the rest of it," said Harry Brook. Squads India: Shubman Gill (captain), Rishabh Pant (vc & wk), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Karun Nair, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel (WK), Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep, Kuldeep Yadav, Anshul Kamboj. England XI: Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope (vc), Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes (c), Jamie Smith (wk), Liam Dawson, Chris Woakes, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer.

China Open: HS Prannoy scripts stunning fightback, saves 5 match points to beat world No 18

As the players changed ends in the decider the scoreboard read 2-11. In the final stages of the match, the scoreboard read 15-20. Those are not typically scorelines one makes a comeback from when trailing. But Indian veteran HS Prannoy produced a comeback for the ages as he beat world No 18 Koki Watanabe 8-21, 21-16, 23-21 in a 57-minute thriller in the opening round of China Open, the year's last Super 1000 event – the top-tier of the BWF World Tour circuit events. The sporting cliche is sometimes matches can be of two halves. But this one was one of two ends. From the near side as seen on the official BWF single-camera YouTube broadcast, Prannoy struggled. In the opening game, he was never really in the contest, constantly sending his lifts beyond the backline. Even on the near side, he was judging the length wrong, letting it shuttles drop inside. It was an indication of the 33-year-old not reading the drift right. #ChinaOpenSuper1000 WOW! An epic HSP comeback! 😳 HS Prannoy trailed 2-11 in the decider, he then trailed 15-20, facing FIVE match points. But then pulls off an epic turnaround to beat world No 18 Koki Watanabe for one of his most stunning wins in recent times 🏸 🎥 BWF TV — Vinayakk (@vinayakkm) July 22, 2025 But once he went to the far side, Prannoy was much more in control. The half smashes were catching Watanabe short, the flatter exchanges from Prannoy had more zing, and his judgment of lengths was much more efficient. And after a neck-and-neck start to the game, Prannoy started to slowly inch ahead post interval. He forced the decider 21-16. However, the start of Game 3 – as he was back to the near side – was anything but ideal. Once more the shuttles started missing the lines, and while drift certainly seemed to be playing its part, Prannoy was also guilty of missing his target while trying to go for his attacks. He trailed by 9 points and despite the control he showed from the other side, it appeared that the match was firmly heading Watanabe's way. #ChinaOpenSuper1000 In an epic fightback from HS Prannoy, an epic rally. Down 16-20, a nearly 50-shot rally! Second of the five match points saved. And went on to win the match. 🎥 BWF TV — Vinayakk (@vinayakkm) July 22, 2025 But the Indian made a quick start after the interval, reeling off 5 quick points to starting closing the gap. From there it was a bit of cat-and-mouse. Serving at 15-18, Prannoy thought he was about to close the gap to 2 points as he hit a backhand kill-shot at the net, but Watanabe pulled off a rare behind-the-back winner with some amazing reflexes; it left Prannoy left flat on the court with the racket flying away as he put in a dive. That could well have been the turning point as soon after play resumed Watanade had 5 match points. Prannoy, though, had other ideas. It was the rally at 16-20 that was the first sign that the Indian wasn't going down without a fight. In a nearly 50-shot exchange, Prannoy had a couple of short lifts that could have easily been put away by Watanabe – he just needed the shuttle to hit the court one more time to win the match. But Prannoy somehow stayed alive, won that marathon exchange, and started to believe. There would another reflex winner, this time from Prannoy and the gap quickly vanished, as he won six straight points to go up 21-20. Watanabe saved one match point but eventually, Prannoy prevailed on his second opportunity to let out a massive roar. Vinayakk Mohanarangan is Senior Assistant Editor and is based in New Delhi. ...
