As per data shared by Sacnilk, The Final Reckoning has made a solid Rs 38.81 crore net in India within its first three days. It opened with Rs 16.5 crore on Saturday, followed by Rs 17 crore on Sunday. Even on Monday, the film held strong and collected Rs 5.31 crore net, which is impressive for a weekday.

Directed by Christopher McQuarrie and co-written with Erik Jendresen, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning sees Tom Cruise return for one last time as the iconic spy Ethan Hunt.

The cast also includes Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Henry Czerny, and Angela Bassett.
The film released in India on May 17 in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu, ensuring it reached a wide audience across the country. Presented by Paramount Pictures and Skydance, the movie blends edge-of-the-seat action with emotional farewells, giving Cruise's Ethan Hunt a grand sendoff.
Ahead of the release, Tom Cruise 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."

Quiver full of stories in 25-yr-old's passion for collecting 800 autographs
Pune: When Sayam Bagmar from Gadag in Karnataka met Gulzar , he was overwhelmed. Sitting next to the legendary poet and Bollywood icon was a dream come true. He was there for an autograph for his collection. Sayam's perseverance paid off. He met Gulzar at his home in Bandra. He had 15 to 16 articles with him, including vinyl records of some of Gulzar's best movies, books, and a sketched portrait. Gulzar wrote two-line poems where? before signing. "There are boards in his office which say 'do not request for photos'. I hesitantantly sought a photograph with him, fully expecting to hear a 'no'. To my surprise, he called his assistant and took some pictures with me without the pomp of a global-winning celebrity," Sayam said. The 25-year-old, who contributes to his family business in the trading of stationery and printing products, has followed his passion with dedication and has autographs of 800 Indian personalities, 1,500 if all those who gave it to him more than once are counted. He did it not by gate-crashing, but by setting up meetings with people either in person or through correspondence. The first autograph came from celebrated athlete Milkha Singh . by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade gold CFDs with a trusted broker | Open an account today. IC Markets Sign Up Undo "I only knew that he was called the 'Flying Sikh'. I had written to him in 2018 and he called me. I was not expecting to hear from him as my letter was gushing with admiration for him. When he spoke to me, I had goosebumps. My response to him was childish," Sayam said. The famous athlete gave Sayam a simple life lesson— work hard. His autograph sent by mail was lost in transit but he re-sent another after a year. It is among Sayam's prized possessions. The young man, in a cream-coloured T-shirt, blue jeans, and a backpack, stands apart in his single-minded devotion. "I do not drink (alcohol) or smoke, and I do not socialise much. After working for more than 10 to 12 hours a day, I do not have the energy," he said. Sayam spends two days a week researching his hobby, so each autograph he collects has a story. Sometimes it takes him months and even years to get the autograph— like Ratan Tata 's. "I know people who know people through my stamp-collecting hobby. I tried all of them to get his autograph but nothing worked. Eventually, I got to know someone working in his office. The lady was kind and put in a word on my behalf. Seeing my sustained efforts, his office got in touch with me, and I received a signed portrait from him a mere one year before he passed away," he said. It took Sayam five years to get in touch with the office of Ratan Tata. He got what he wanted but was not able to meet Tata as he was too old for in-person meetings. Sayam looks for Padma awardees but instead of taking their signatures in a scrapbook, he takes them on some memorabilia. Famed orthopaedist Kantilal Sancheti's signature is on a knee model as he is the first Indian to perform knee transplant surgery and was part of the team that operated on former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. His current focus is on Indian chess grandmasters. So far, he has collected 20 signatures. Among them are those of former chess world champion Viswanathan Anand and current world champion D Gukesh. He also got Indian woman grandmaster Koneru Humpy's at the Women Grand Prix 2025. Humpy won the tournament in Pune. "I had been trying to meet her for more than two years. I managed to get her cover picture from the Asian Games 2023 from China from a friend there," Sayam said. On his Pune visit, he could get 17 chess players to sign in one go. The organisers had prohibited people from seeking autographs of players but the players made an exception for Sayam. "Many personalities are happy to see someone from another part of the country wanting to take their autographs. One or two lines from legends is a huge learning experience," he said. While visiting Jaipur for a family wedding, Sayam squeezed time out to meet two-time Paralympic gold medallist in javelin Devendra Jhajharia. He got one from Padma Shri awardee late Swami Shivananda Saraswati during the Kumbh in Uttar Pradesh. Sayam's cupboard is filled with signed artefacts and needs regular upkeep to prevent damage, but the pleasure lies in his adding to his collection. His only regret is the he does not have Pandit Bhimsen Joshi's signature, Gadag's most famous personality.

Ajay Devgn's Rs 35 crore cameo in RRR made him India's highest-paid actor per minute; beats Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Vijay
Ajay Devgn's salary is a hot topic. He earned Rs 35 crore for an RRR cameo. He became the highest-paid OTT star with Rudra. His fees vary based on the project size. Post-pandemic, he delivered box office hits. He charges around Rs 20 crore for smaller films. He earns over Rs 40 crore for big ventures like Singham Again. Ajay Devgn may be known for his intense screen presence and mass appeal, but his paycheck has been making headlines just as much. From commanding a record-breaking Rs 35 crore for an 8-minute cameo in RRR to becoming India's highest-paid OTT star with Rudra, the actor has consistently reshaped the industry's pay scale. As conversations around star fees heat up in the age of big-budget spectacles and streaming giants, Ajay's calculated choices and blockbuster success post-pandemic make him a fascinating case study in the economics of modern stardom. In 2017, following the massive success of Baahubali 2, director SS Rajamouli announced his next ambitious project with Jr NTR and Ram Charan. Titled RRR, the film's cast expanded over time, with Ajay Devgn joining in early 2019 for a brief but pivotal cameo, alongside Alia Bhatt and Shriya Saran. Though Ajay appeared on screen for just 8 minutes, he was paid a staggering Rs 35 crore—making it the most expensive cameo in Indian cinema. At Rs 4.35 crore per minute, it set a new record for the highest per-minute fee charged by any Indian actor at the time. To put that into perspective, if Shah Rukh Khan were paid at the same Rs 4.35 crore-per-minute rate for Jawan—in which he appears for around 70 minutes—his fee would have ballooned to Rs 300 crore, surpassing the film's actual budget. By that metric, Rajinikanth (Jailer), Salman Khan (Tiger 3), Prabhas (Kalki 2898 AD), and Allu Arjun (Pushpa 2) would each have to earn between ₹250–300 crore—far more than their reported fees. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like NYC Hotel Smartphone Booking | Bookmark Now! | New York City Hotel Booking | Mill Canyon Road Click Here Undo Ajay Devgn's brief role in RRR thus made him, if only by this calculation, the highest-paid actor in India. Ajay Devgn eventually cemented his place at the top of the pay scale when he became the highest-paid OTT star in the country. In 2021, he signed on for Rudra: The Edge of Darkness for a whopping Rs 125 crore, marking a new benchmark for digital content deals in India. Post-pandemic, Ajay Devgn has enjoyed a strong box office run with hits like Drishyam 2, Raid 2, and Singham Again. Known for his flexible approach to remuneration, the actor reportedly tailors his fee based on the project's scale—charging around Rs 20 crore for smaller-budget films like Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha and Raid 2, while pushing it beyond Rs 40 crore for big-ticket ventures like Singham Again.
