Jurassic World Rebirth Box Office Collection Day 6: Scarlett Johansson's Film Crosses Rs 50 Crore Mark
Who said Dinosaurs can't draw audiences to theatres? Gareth Edwards' sci-fi action-adventure Jurassic World Rebirth hit theatres last week and is peforming well at the box office.
What's Happening
Jurassic World Rebirth crossed Rs 50 crore mark at the Indian box office on Wednesday.
As of now, it has earned Rs 50.95 crore in India
The film, which released on July 4 faced stiff competion from Anurag Basu's Metro... In Dino. Still it managed to earn more than double the earnings of the romantic musical, which stands at Rs 24.4 crore.
According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Jurassic World Rebirth added Rs 3.25 crore on Wednesday, marking its lowest single-day collection in India so far.
The film's domestic earnings are largely driven by the English version. However, on Tuesday, when it collected Rs 4.5 crore across all languages, the Hindi dubbed version (Rs 2.05 crore) surpassed the English one (Rs 1.85 crore) for the first time in its five-day run.
Background
Jurassic World Rebirth also became the first Hollywood film to have a Hindi premiere at the iconic Raj Mandir theatre in Jaipur on Thursday, July 3.
The Jurassic franchise has had a strong connection with Indian audiences for decades. Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park (1993), the first film in the seven-part series, was among the first Hollywood films to be dubbed in Hindi.
The massive success of the film led to a long-running franchise including: The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997), Jurassic Park III (2001), Jurassic World (2015), Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018), Jurassic World Dominion (2022), and the latest, Jurassic World Rebirth.
Scarlett Johansson leads the cast in Jurassic World Rebirth, taking over from her Marvel co-star Chris Pratt. Following its record-breaking global opening weekend of $318 million, the film has also helped Johansson become the highest-grossing lead actor in Hollywood history, surpassing Chris Pratt, Robert Downey Jr, Samuel L Jackson and Tom Hanks.
Starting Friday, July 11, the film will face new competition at the Indian box office - primarily from James Gunn's superhero reboot Superman, starring David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan and also from the Hindi gangster drama Maalik, starring Rajkummar Rao and Pulkit Samrat.
Co-produced by Universal Pictures and Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment, Jurassic World Rebirth also stars Mahershala Ali and Jonathan Bailey.
The film is set in 2027 and follows a group of adventurous junkies who travel to a remote island to retrieve biomaterial from three rare dinosaur breeds to develop a new treatment for heart disease.

Anupamaa EXCLUSIVE: Adrija Roy reacts to male actors being paid more than female leads, 'It's not always easy...'
Anupamaa, the Rupali Ganguly-led daily soap, continues to rank in the top 3 shows due to its engaging storyline. It also features Adrija Roy and Shivam Khajuria in lead roles. Despite the show's engaging storyline, this week Anupamaa failed to rank first due to its poor ratings. In conversation with Pinkvilla, Adrija, who plays Raahi, shared her thoughts on the show's low rank. The actress also voiced her opinion against pay disparity in the industry. Adrija Roy states her opinion on pay disparity In an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla, Adrija Roy was asked about her thoughts on male actors getting paid more than the female protagonists. Sharing her unfiltered opinion on this, Adrija said, "It's disheartening that in 2025, we still need to talk about this. I do feel women work equally hard, sometimes even more, considering how emotionally intense many of our roles are." The Anupamaa actor explained how it's not easy to get equal rights in the industry, but emphasized the importance of being vocal about the rights. She said, "It's not always easy, but I think it's important we speak up and push for what we deserve." Adrija portrays the role of Anupamaa's (Rupali Ganguly) daughter. The actress stars opposite Shivam Khajuria, who plays Prem. The actress is lauded for her intense and powerful performance in the show. Her on-screen chemistry with Shivam has garnered a massive fan following. About Adrija Roy's career before Anupamaa Not many know but Adrija Roy has acted in several Bengali TV shows before she stepped into the world of Hindi Television. Adrija's Hindi debut show was Durga Aur Charu, where she played the lead role. However, it was her stint in Imlie that made her a household name. She was applauded for her acting prowess and gained fame too. After Imlie's conclusion, Adrija was roped in to play the female lead in Kundali Bhagya. After this, the actress secured the role of Raahi in Anupamaa. Initially, Alisha Parveen played the role of Raahi in Anupamaa. However, after her departure, Adrija was roped in. Speaking about Anupamaa, the show premiered in 2020 and often ranks in top 5.

Saiyaara Review: No One Does Heartbreak Like Mohit Suri
Music is a time capsule, it takes you to your childhood, your first love, or reminds of how that petrichor feels when you breathe it in. Music can cure, and if not fully, it acts as an analgesic. Mohit Suri's emotional and musical drama Saiyaara may just be the panacea for the Hindi film and exhibition industries' problems. Saiyaara As A Musical Saiyaara is also a plea for film music that we must not let it die. It serves as a reminder to the viewers that "dimaag bhool sakta hai, dil nahin", a line spoken by one of the leads at a key juncture in the movie. A good song that will stand the test of time is the reflection of a moment, a memory. Saiyaara's beats may be familiar, but there's a certain freshness to its treatment. Its soundtrack, consisting of songs such as Saiyaara, Barbaad, and Tum Ho Toh, is both hummable as well as head-bangy. If it takes almost the whole of the music industry (there are seven composers and four lyricists in credits) to build a complete and contemporary music album, it should be made a norm. In a nutshell, first-timers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda are (surprisingly) good. There is promise and a fire in the belly to prove their mettle -- that they deserve to be on a big screen, in a traditional Hindi musical, backed by one of the premiere banners in India, Yash Raj Films. The Plot The story is as old as time. Bad boy meets good girl, sparks fly, and then, there's heartbreak, sacrifice, and reunion. And, no one does heartbreak like Mohit Suri. This heartbreak is lifted by rock, emo and grunge music, and this is not a complaint. Had it been a film from the Bhatt camp, where Mohit Suri's roots lie both family and career-wise, Saiyaara would have had at least one death or murder. Since it's a Yash Raj Film, there is a silver lining to this darker cloud. Aneet (Big Girls Don't Lie) plays Vaani Batra, a simple, sweet, 22-year-old who makes notes in her "dear diary" lest she should forget. When her fiance leaves her at the altar, her heart is broken, she goes into a blackhole and loses her voice (metaphorically) as she stops writing. A few months down the road, Vaani meets Krish Batra, a brooding, weed-smoking, tattooed struggling singer Krish Kapoor who pummels a reviewer (*shudders*) for taking all the credit of his band Josh and handing in on a platter to a bade-baap-ki-aulaad, his bandmate. In a cheeky hat-tip to the nepo baby bias, Krish says to the reviewer, "Nepo baby haggenge bhi toh bhi bologe kya haga hai." No need for a reminder but Ahaan Panday is the actor Chunky Panday's nephew and actor Ananya Panday's cousin and the family should be proud. After Krish loses his band Josh and hosh, he finds Vaani and together they are music and lyrics (also the name of a Drew Barrymore movie). Since this is a spoiler-free review, there's another, major Drew Barrymore connection of Saiyaara which the viewer must look out for while watching the film. With Mohit Suri's signature grasp on emotions and music, Saiyaara becomes a love song with convincing performances, very reminiscent of the filmmaker's Zeher, Kalyug, and Aashiqui 2 days. A special mention for Geeta Agrawal Sharma, who has played several mother roles in the last few years in Hindi films such as Laapataa Ladies, 12th Fail, and All Indian Rank. The actor plays Vaani's protective almost obsessive mother who has been given a couple of best lines in the film. She's a class act when she drops one-liners like "Mat baha ye keemti aansoo kisi ullu le patthe ke liye" or "Meri beti time pass nahin hai". When Saiyaara 's trailer dropped, a section of social media users were quick to compare the film with Mohit Suri's Aashiqui 2. Saiyaara 's dialogue "Kuch pal baaqi hain mere paas" callback has the ring of Aashiqui 2 's "Suno. Kya? Kuch nahin bas yun hee" to it, and there's a strong possibility that it will become viral on social media, especially with the 20-somethings. How Make A Story About New-Age Leads With Issues And Make It Entertaining Both Krish and Vaani have issues, clearly. Krish, who plays a parent to his alcoholic brawling father (Varun Badola), seeks outside validation of his potential fans until he meets Vaani, who accepts him for who he is. This is a new-age hero who vocally asks for help from the heroine when he needs it desperately. During the course of the film, just like the DP on his smartphone, his priorities also shift in life -- from himself to Vaani. When it comes to Vaani, the biggest win is that she has a job and she's bloody good at it. When she finds out that Krish is keeping his career on the back burner for her, she asks him not to and urges him to chase his dreams. Her ex, who is a lecherous opportunist, keeps popping up in the film's second half and literally acts a trigger to everything that could go wrong with Vaani. When Krish's father finally comes of age, the senior Kapoor tells the junior Kapoor to not repeat his mistakes. "Don't destroy yourself in the name of love," he says. If we go by Saiyaara, we can have both the best of both worlds -- love and career -- in spite of everything. It's difficult to believe that Krish and Vaani's happy ending lasts longer than what is called a hit song today. Maybe Krish and Vaani do live happily ever after, despite all very real problems. I'll part on this note before the hangover of Saiyaara is cured by the real world.

Vir Das Fool Volume review: Shah Rukh Khan-approved comedian struggles against contraints in self-deprecating and self-indulgent Netflix stand-up special
Throttled by his government and abandoned by his peers — inanimate objects and abstract ideas get more support than Indian comedians — Vir Das seems to be in conflict with his past. His sixth stand-up special for Netflix, Fool Volume, combines his trademark self-effacing delivery with his signature ambition. Fool Volume was filmed in Mumbai, London, and New York, at venues of different shapes and sizes, in front of crowds with different thresholds of tolerance. But the elaborate production and occasional filmmaking flourish isn't the most impressive thing about the one-hour special. It's the comedian's ability to spin a story, to structure a narrative that serves as yet another reminder of his skill. There isn't a dull moment in the hour-long set, which Das says was rewritten after he lost his voice, literally, six weeks before he was supposed to perform it. He abandoned the material that Netflix had paid him for, and, either by chance or by design, found himself gravitating towards the style of comedy that he does best. In Fool Volume, Das gazes inward; he glances at the world around him, and then, he gets down to business. The show isn't so much about a comedian finding his voice again as it is about a middle-aged Indian man finding a new voice. Also read – Kapil Sharma I'm Not Done Yet review: Indisciplined Netflix standup special is strictly for the comedian's hardcore fans Unwritten restrictions, in a way, are scarier than laws that have been institutionalised over decades. For instance, no one — including a career criminal — would risk running somebody over on the street in broad daylight because the law forbids it. The same person might think twice about posting something rude about the Prime Minister online despite Bharatiya Nyaya Samhita not expounding a word on it. Das doesn't entirely abandon the political humour that got him in trouble a few months before his last Netflix special, the Emmy-winning Landing, but he certainly seems to be distancing himself from that persona. There is, however, a great bit directed at the Indian middle-class for 'worshipping false heroes and celebrating a lack of intelligence' because it is 'obsessed with consumption and a cult of power.' But, having built a career on the back of jokes directed at 'uncles', Das doesn't quite realise that he might be turning into one himself. Any time someone begins a sentence with, 'Here's the problem with your generation,' and ends it with, 'I don't want to patronise you,' you know they've gone over the bend. Or, at least, they've started to. Standing in his two shoes, wearing his perfectly tailored suit, his fade cropped to precision, Das makes the unforgivable mistake of invoking his past struggles. He tells a story about when he used to work as a dishwasher at a restaurant. In Chicago. As a Gully Boy once said, 'Jahan humare sapne poore hote hain, wahan inka struggle shuru hota hai.' In fairness, the point of this story, which is expertly told, isn't to remind audiences across three continents about the power of Brown people with a dream (and money). It is to illustrate the power of kindness. Read more – Ricky Gervais Armageddon review: Provocative comedian dusts off dated material in latest Netflix standup special Midway through the special, Das makes the stylistically inspired choice to turn the house lights off. In darkness, the crowd experiences something that it probably hasn't at a comedy show in a while: freedom. It's like a version of online anonymity, demonstrated with a resolute faith in humanity, not frustration directed at it. Those in power aren't afraid of what comedians say, Das tells the crowds; they're afraid of how the audience reacts. They sent their goons to vandalise venues and threaten artistes not because of what was said, but because of how it was received. Comedy shows are oddly comforting. For about an hour, you feel as if you've finally found your tribe, people who share similar anxieties and fears. You realise that, deep down, everyone wants the same thing. For about an hour, you feel empowered to laugh about stuff that you probably wouldn't laugh about in regular life. Perhaps you're policing yourself, or perhaps you're simply protecting yourself. It's slightly irrational belief, because the moment you walk out into the real world, the illusion breaks. There's some guy barking at you for standing in their way, or not driving as fast as they think you should. This is the world far removed from the cocoon of the Kedarnath Sahni Auditorium; this is where you can get killed for having grown a moustache that doesn't 'belong' to your culture. Read more – Aziz Ansari Nightclub Comedian review: Surprise new Netflix standup special is a minor work from a major talent Fool Volume is a relatively lighthearted special, though. Das does the Bollywood thing of name-dropping Shah Rukh Khan; the 'King' apparently told Das that he's proud of him, although the comedian doesn't specify what for. While you'd assume that it was for speaking truth to power, it could've honestly been for anything else. SRK beaming with pride at Das for having finished the meal that was served to him at Mannat can't entirely be taken off the table, can it? He also takes a pot-shot at Kangana Ranaut, by the way, but she'd probably need to utilise the collective intelligence of every person in her constituency to explain the joke to her. Fool Volume finds India's most gifted comedian — you cannot compare him to the casually misogynistic Zakir Khan or the casually cruel Samay Raina — throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. It's an artistic representation of the stages of panic he went through when he lost his voice — he tried homeopathy, paid for an expensive therapist; he even tried praying. But he'll never know which strategy really worked. His voice just… came back one day. Fool Volume is Das in the throat-clearing phase of his recovery. He'll find his new voice soon enough. Throat-clearing isn't just a sign of hesitation, you see; it is also warning. Vir Das: Fool Volume Director – Vir Das Rating – 3/5 Rohan Naahar is an assistant editor at Indian Express online.
