Ballerina and Materialists box office collection Day 2: Ana de Armas and Dakota Johnson starrers sees good growth on Saturday
Hollywood's big weekend at the Indian box office saw a promising upswing in collections as Ana de Armas-led Ballerina and Dakota Johnson 's Materialists battled for audience attention alongside the family-friendly How to Train Your Dragon, which continues to dominate. Spinning out from the John Wick universe, Ballerina (also available in 4DX) made a confident leap at the Indian box office. After an opening day collection of Rs 1.6 crore on Friday, the action-thriller saw a significant jump of 68% on Saturday, earning an estimated Rs 2.7 crore. This brings its two-day domestic total to Rs 4.3 crore, according to data from Sacnilk. A large chunk of the revenue came from English-language shows, which contributed approximately Rs 3.38 crore of the total. The dubbed versions in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu collectively added the remaining Rs 92 lakh, indicating the franchise's continued appeal among urban, English-speaking audiences. Ballerina, headlined by Ana de Armas , is set between the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 and Chapter 4, and has benefited from brand recognition and a visually immersive 4DX release. It has managed to secure the second-highest box office opening for a Hollywood film this weekend, trailing only behind How to Train Your Dragon, which is on track to cross the Rs 10 crore mark. Meanwhile, Materialists—a romantic comedy starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans , and Pedro Pascal , and directed by Celine Song—had a softer start, opening with Rs 60 lakh on Friday. However, the film doubled its collections on Saturday, earning Rs 1.31 crore and bringing its two-day total to Rs 1.91 crore. Though behind Ballerina in the domestic market, Materialist is making headlines globally. The film debuted with an impressive $12 million in North America, marking the third-highest opening ever for A24, behind only Civil War ($25.5 million) and Hereditary ($13.5 million). This performance continues the recent momentum for rom-coms at the box office, following the success of Ticket to Paradise ($16.5 million) and Anyone But You ($6 million). With Father's Day on Sunday and positive word of mouth, all three films are expected to benefit from weekend footfall. Ballerina may cross Rs 6 crore by the end of the weekend, while Materialist could reach Rs 3 crore, depending on Sunday's momentum. How to Train Your Dragon, buoyed by family audiences and critical praise, is leading the pack and poised to be the weekend's breakout winner.

This actress once dreamt of Amitabh Bachchan's accident, next day Big B got hospitalised due to..., her name was…
Amitabh Bachchan's near-fatal accident during the filming of his blockbuster movie Coolie remains one of the most discussed events in cinematic history. Currently, a fresh narrative regarding Amitabh Bachchan's Coolie mishap is gaining traction. Years back, on the birthday of Late Smita Patil, Amitabh Bachchan remembered how she had a sense of foreboding before his life-threatening accident. Amitabh Bachchan was filming Coolie in Bangalore when Smita Patil unexpectedly rang him at 2 am. When Smita Patil Called Big B The actor recalled and said, 'I was in Bangalore filming for Coolie.' Deep in the night, at approximately 2 am, I got a call in my hotel room. The receptionist told me that Smita Patil was on the phone. I was stunned since I had never conversed or communicated with her during that period. Believing it would be significant, I replied.' Big B further said, 'Smita inquired whether I was okay and in good health.' I replied affirmatively, and she mentioned that she had a troubling dream about me, which was why she called so late at night. 'The following day, I encountered my mishap,' The Incident That Shook the Entire Industry The following day, on July 26, 1982, Amitabh Bachchan suffered significant injuries while filming a combat sequence with actor Puneet Issar. In the scene, Puneet Issar was meant to hit Amitabh Bachchan in the stomach, but as Big B miscalculated his leap, he fell onto a table. As a result of this accident, his condition turned critical. He was promptly taken to Breach Candy Hospital, where he had multiple surgeries. Supporters nationwide offered prayers for his healing. Amitabh Bachchan's injury was so severe that he was pronounced clinically dead for several minutes before being placed on a ventilator. Reports indicate that former Prime Minister Late Rajiv Gandhi called off a visit to the United States to stay with him. At that time, Amitabh Bachchan was given 60 bottles of blood from 200 donors, and one donor tested positive for the Hepatitis B virus. Bachchan healed from the accident but learned in 2000 that the virus had caused cirrhosis of the liver, harming roughly 75% of his liver. Bachchan later shared his experience to promote awareness of the Hepatitis B vaccine. Despite the severe injury, the legendary actor made an impressive recovery and returned to filming on 7 January 1983. More About Smita Patil Smita Patil, often regarded as one of greatest and finest actresses in the history of Indian cinema, appeared in over 80 films in her short career. During this period, she featured with Amitabh Bachchan in notable films like Namak Halaal, Sharaabi, Shakti, Ghulaami and Pet Pyaar Aur Paap. Smita Patil tragically died at 31 due to childbirth complications.
