Mission Impossible 8 Box Office Day 16: Tom Cruise's Film Bounces Back, Mints Rs 90 Crore
Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One has grossed Rs 90 crore in India. Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, the film marks Cruise's final outing as Ethan Hunt.
Tom Cruise is back to doing what he does best — defying gravity and box office expectations. On Day 16, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One pulled off yet another high-octane stunt at the Indian box office. After a mid-week slowdown, the film has bounced back with style, raking in a cool Rs 90 crore so far.
Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible 8 entered the third week in India on a strong note. Directed by Christopher McQuarrie and co-written with Erik Jendresen, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning marks Tom Cruise's final outing as the legendary spy Ethan Hunt. The film also stars Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Henry Czerny, and Angela Bassett.
The film pocketed Rs 3.65 crore on Day 15 (third Saturday) and followed it up with a slightly better Rs 3.75 crore on Day 16 (third Sunday), according to early estimates. That pushes the total India collection to a solid Rs 90.45 crore across all languages.
The final chapter in the Mission: Impossible saga kicked off with a decent run when it hit theatres on May 17. Fans rushed to catch Tom Cruise back in action as Ethan Hunt, pulling off gravity-defying stunts and intense fight scenes like only he can. The film had a strong start, bringing in Rs 54.4 crore in its first week.
All eyes are on whether The Final Reckoning can keep up the pace and cruise its way to the Rs 100 crore mark in India.
Ahead of the release, Tom Cruise had left Indian fans delighted by speaking in Hindi during a promotional video. 'Main aap sab se bahut pyaar karta hoon. Mujpe bharosa karo, ek akhri baar (I love you all a lot. Trust me one last time)," he said. He also shared his fond memories of visiting India, adding, 'I feel so much love for India. I have to say the whole experience has been etched in my memory. Every single moment. From the moment I landed, going to the Taj Mahal, and spending time in Mumbai, I remember each moment quite vividly."
A part of News18's review of the film read, 'But what truly sets The Final Reckoning apart is its tone. It's not just an action blockbuster. It's an elegy. A goodbye. A thank-you. And somehow, despite all the chaos, it's also a reckoning with legacy, with sacrifice, with what it really means to be a hero when the world keeps moving the goalpost. The Final Reckoning is the most fitting, heart-racing, gut-wrenching finale Ethan Hunt could've asked for. If this really is the last mission, then hats off, Mr. Cruise. You didn't just complete it. You aced it."

You won't believe, Fahadh Faasil turned down this Hollywood director's film because of…, he is…
In world of cinema, unexpected turns often shape an actor's journey. Fahadh Faasil, a prominent figure in Malayalam cinema, once found himself at such a crossroads. An opportunity arose to collaborate with legendary Alejandro González Iñárritu, the Oscar-winning director known for films like The Revenant and Birdman. However, this potential partnership did not come to fruition. What did Fahadh Faasil say? In a candid interview with Cue Studio, Fahadh shared insights into why this collaboration didn't materialize. He revealed that while discussions had progressed to a video call with Iñárritu, concerns about his accent became a significant hurdle. The director suggested that Fahadh undergo accent training in the United States for three to four months. However, this training period would be unpaid, and Fahadh felt that the commercial aspects didn't align with his priorities. He admitted, 'I didn't feel enough fire to put in that much effort just to work on my accent.' Was Fahadh Faasil fit for the role that Alejandro González Iñárritu wanted? Reflecting on the experience, Fahadh acknowledged that perhaps during their conversation, Iñárritu sensed he wasn't the right fit for the role. He stated, 'Maybe if there hadn't been an audition, it might have worked out.' Despite this missed opportunity, Fahadh expressed no regrets. He emphasized his deep connection to Malayalam cinema, saying, 'All the magic in my life has happened here.' While the chance to work with a renowned international director was significant, Fahadh prioritized authenticity and personal fulfillment in his career choices.
