Final Destination Bloodlines Lifetime India Collections: Warner Bros' horror-fantasy ends its SPECTACULAR run netting Rs 61 crore
Final Destination: Bloodlines is now at the fag end of its spectacular India theatrical run. The horror-fantasy is going to finish with Rs 60.50 crore net (Rs 74 crore gross) on the board and that is phenomenal given that it faced stiff competition from Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning. The global run of Bloodlines has again been enviable since this USD 50-60 million budgeted film is going to end up doing USD 285 million or so. All that the movie required was USD 150 million for a theatrical breakeven, but it had done almost double. The money coming from the non-theatrical revenue sources will further fill the pockets of the producers.
The Breakdown For Final Destination: Bloodlines' Collections Are As Under
Final Destination: Bloodlines Opened Modestly But Ended Up Doing Spectacularly In Its Full Run, Despite Competition
Final Destination: Bloodlines opened to a modest Rs 4.35 crore net on Thursday including late night previews of Wednesday. After showing a growth on its first Friday, it grew further on Saturday and Sunday, despite new found competition in the last installment of the Mission Impossible series. The movie crossed the Rs 50 crore net mark on its 18th day and managed to add another Rs 10 crore net in the remainder of its run, for a Rs 60.50 crore net cume.
Final Destination: Bloodlines Becomes The Most Successful Movie Of The Franchise
Final Destination: Bloodlines is the most successful film of the horror-fantasy franchise. The success of Bloodlines shows that the audience is still very much invested in this franchise. Even after many years, the scares and the campiness of the Final Destination movies, get the audience. This franchise has redefined horror movies from a budgeting standpoint too. Due to the nicheness of the genre, most producers did not mount horror movies on high budgets. Final Destination movies showed that there is recovery possible even for high budget horror films if they manage to excite and scare its audience in equal measure.

35 handwritten letters by Rabindranath Tagore, estimated to fetch Rs 5-7 crore, to be auctioned
A set of 35 handwritten letters written by Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore to sociologist and musicologist Dhurjati Prasad Mukerji are set to go under the hammer at AstaGuru's 'Collectors' Choice' auction that will be held online on June 26-27. Belonging to a private Kolkata-based collection, the set of letters written between 1927 to 1936, are estimated to fetch Rs 5 to 7 crore. The lot also includes 14 envelopes. Classified as 'National Art Treasure', which cannot be taken out of India, the letters reflect the relationship shared between Tagore and Mukerji, who was his close confidante. 'These letters go beyond mere communication; they offer a glimpse into Tagore's inner world during a period of profound artistic evolution. Within them, we witness the poet, the painter, the thinker — expressing himself across letterheads that trace his journey from Santiniketan to Darjeeling to his houseboat, Padma. The provenance, too, is exceptional. This set is a rare convergence of literary, cultural, and philosophical importance. These are not just letters — they are portals into a changing India, a poet's unfolding vision, and the very ethos that shaped Santiniketan,' notes Manoj Mansukhani, CMO, AstaGuru Auction House. Written in Bengali on pages with different letterheads — including Visva-Bharati, his Uttarayan residence and Glen Eden in Darjeeling — the discussions between the two span numerous subjects, including cultural activities, poetry and Visva-Bharati University, founded by Tagore in 1921 in Santiniketan. One letter, for instance, has the polymath discussing his poems in 'Punascha' and 'Shesh Saptak' and how critics received them. 'The rhythm of silence,' he noted, 'is part of the poem.' Another letter has him appreciating artist Nandalal Bose, who anchors what Tagore describes as 'Nandanology'. While several of these letters have previously been published in literary magazines such as Parichay, and books like Sangeet Chinta and Chhanda, AstaGuru notes that at least four of these are unpublished. The auction also includes a 1883 quartzite stone sculptural work by Tagore. Titled 'The Heart', it is estimated to fetch Rs 55 to 70 lakh. A note by AstraGuru states that the sculpture was made by Tagore when he was in his 20s, during a visit to Karwar, Karnataka. It also mentions that the work is believed to have been dedicated to Kadambari Devi, his sister-in-law. Engraved by Tagore on it are the words: 'Having cut my heart of stone, I have engraved (the words) with my own hand. Will it (the writing) be ever effaced by the flow of tears?' The other highlights of the auction include a MF Husain canvas from the 'Mother Teresa' series (estimated at Rs 2-3 crore), A Ramachandran's Visions of Ramdev – Ahalya in Red (estimated Rs 1.2-1.6 crore), and a Nandalal Bose landscape in watercolour and ink (estimated Rs 25-35 lakh).

What Does A Japanese Melon Worth Rs 8600 Taste Like? Viral Video Reveals
If you love eating melons, what is the highest price you are willing to pay for one? Nowadays, it is something of a status symbol to enjoy some of the most exquisite and exclusive fruits from around the world. They are said to be grown, handpicked and packaged with the utmost care. And in some cases, their eye-watering prices make headlines. For instance, you may recall the $20 Erewhon strawberry that went viral some time ago. Recently, another rather exorbitant fruit has grabbed eyeballs on social media and sparked a fresh debate in the comments section. Zoya Biglary, an entrepreneur and food content creator, took to her Instagram page to share her experience of relishing a melon from Japan that cost her $100 (approx. Rs 8600). She gives us a glimpse of its special packaging as she unboxes the product. The fruit comes in what looks to be a custom-made box and is carefully packed to maintain its shape (so it doesn't get squashed). As Zoya removes the musk melon, she jokingly compares it to "unwrapping a baby." She notes that spending such a high amount on a single melon may seem like too much. But she defends her decision. "This melon is a whole experience," she says. She goes on to compare its price with that of drinks at bars in Los Angeles. She wonders aloud, "Why is a luxury fruit such a crazy concept?" She peels the melon and we finally see its green coloured flesh inside. She cuts it in half and marvels, "This is a very delicate and soft melon." As she slices the fruit, she notes that it is also "very juicy." Wondering what her verdict was after eating it? She declared, "It is by far the sweetest melon I have ever tasted." Later, she adds, " I don't care what anyone says. It's worth 100 bucks." The melon was delivered by ELLY AMAI Kyoto, a company that specialises in sourcing and selling premium Japanese fruits. Watch the complete viral video below: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Zoya Biglary (@zoyaroya) Also Read: 5 Simple Ways To Spot A Fake Watermelon Before You Buy In the comments section, people had a lot to say about this melon. Read some of their reactions below: "I need to try this melon!" "That's a mighty fine melon." "That looks amazing, melons are one of my favourite fruits! Completely worth the price." "Ummm, look at all those seeds!!! Can you do a seed giveaway??? Lol." "Looks so good." "It's giving fruit ninja!" "Honey Dew Melon is top tier for me as is, and I would definitely pay $100 to experience this melon. I know that I can eat that in one sitting with zero regrets!!" "The packing alone just shows how much care and love go into taking care of those melons." "Keep the seeds and plant them." "Vaaaayyyy that's like 20 bucks worth of juice dripping!!" "But did you invest in the $20 Erewhon strawberry?" "When I was little growing up in Japan, people would cut the musk melon in half, gut the seeds out, and pour whiskey in it and eat it like that, which was like this luxurious dessert!!" "In India, our concept of a melon is this musk melon!! It also grows here domestically. It's a very common fruit here, you get one for like 50-60 rupees, which is less than a dollar! We're living the good fruit life." Before this, a video about a special tomato apparently costing around Rs 1300 went viral on social media. Read the full story here.
