Mission Impossible 8 India Day 8 Box Office: Tom Cruise starrer adds Rs 4 crore to total
Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, the much-hyped eighth and final installment in the long-running spy action franchise, continues its box office run with steady but unspectacular numbers. After a moderate first week total of Rs 51.50 crore in India, the film added Rs 3.25 crore on day 7 and Rs 4.00 crore on day 8 (second Saturday), showing a respectable bump from the previous day but still falling short of expectations for a franchise finale of this scale.
Here's a breakdown of the film's India box office performance:
Despite carrying the weight of being the decade-spanning franchise's finale and featuring Tom Cruise in what many believed would be a climactic farewell, The Final Reckoning has performed without the fireworks expected from a tentpole of this stature. With a staggering budget reportedly between USD 300–400 million, international returns will definitely be closely monitored by Paramount, and the studio sadly won't have much to see from the Indian market.
Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, who co-wrote the screenplay with Erik Jendresen, the film sees Cruise return as Ethan Hunt alongside franchise veterans Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Henry Czerny, and Angela Bassett.
The production faced several hurdles, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the SAG-AFTRA strike, which halted filming for months. Originally planned as Dead Reckoning Part Two, the film eventually received a new title and identity to mark its standalone significance.
Shot across stunning global locations like the UK, Norway, Malta, and South Africa, the film had its world premiere in Tokyo on May 5, followed by a screening out of competition at Cannes on May 14. It was released theatrically in the US on May 23, a week after its India debut on May 17, to largely critical reviews praising its action choreography, Cruise's commitment to the project, and the emotional beats elevating the stakes.
MI8's India distributors, Viacom18, would hope the buzz in the West filters into India after its release there, encouraging the masses to start showing up in theaters in large numbers soon to turn the film's local fate.

This incident did not happen in India, but in the West Indies, which was revealed years later. Actually, this cricketer is the legendary test batsman Cheteshwar Pujara, who is currently out of Team India. Recently, during the launch of his wife Pooja Pujara's book 'The Diary of a Cricketer's Wife', Rohit Sharma narrated the story of how Pujara had to pay a heavy price for not agreeing. Actually, this incident happened during the Indian cricket team's tour of the West Indies in 2012. At that time Pujara was a part of the India-A team, when the team was in Trinidad and Tobago, he was robbed. During the book launch, Rohit asked Pujara about this incident of 2012, 'I haven't told. I mean, she is aware but she doesn't know the details. I am a vegetarian. So we were looking for a vegetarian meal at night. It was in TNT (Trinidad and Tobago) where we went out at 11 in the evening. We didn't find the meal but when we were walking back, I was mugged. I can't tell you in detail about it but that's the story he is referring to.' Rohit Sharma said that he had advised Pujara not to leave the hotel after 9 pm, because some areas of West Indies are not considered safe at night. Rohit told that Pujara had to go out to eat at night. Rohit said, 'Moral of the story is that he can be stubborn. We told him. We warned him not to go out in the night. Don't step out after 9 PM. This is the West Indies.'

Both his ACL were gone. For any cricketer, leave alone if you are not an athlete or not playing any sport, for a sportsman it's very, very tough if you lose both your ACL,' Rohit Sharma said. 'We used to tease him about his running technique and all that but he managed to play more than 100 Test matches for India after that, a lot of credit goes to him for how he managed it. Great amount of dedication and passion he had to play the sport,' Rohit Sharma added.
