Ananya Panday Reviews Brad Pitt's F1 Movie: ‘I Love F1; I Love Brad Pitt'
Last Updated: Ananya Panday shares her love for F1, Brad Pitt, and caramel-cheese popcorn after catching the racing film. Ananya Panday is the latest Bollywood celebrity to catch Brad Pitt's much-talked-about racing drama F1 in theatres and she's loving every bit of it. The Call Me Bae actress took to Instagram to share her thoughts after a movie night, where she indulged in caramel-cheese popcorn and the cinematic adrenaline rush of Pitt's newest release. Posting a photo from inside the theatre, Ananya wrote, 'I love the movies!! I love f1!! I love caramel and cheese popcorn!! And I LOVE Brad Pitt." The Gen-Z starlet clearly enjoyed her time watching F1, which sees Pitt as the charismatic yet retired racer Sonny Hayes who returns to the Formula 1 circuit to mentor rookie Joshua Pearce, played by Damson Idris, and uplift the underdog team ApxGP. Ananya isn't alone in her praise. Earlier, producer Karan Johar also shared his take on the film, calling it 'SO MUCH FUN!" despite its familiar tropes and predictable arcs. 'Brad Pitt seems to have approached the role with a self-reflecting Zen mode movie star swag! So effective and landed every beat," Karan wrote on Instagram. However, he noted being 'mildly underwhelmed" by the climax, urging viewers not to miss the film for its adrenaline rush. Directed by Top Gun: Maverick's Joseph Kosinski and co-produced by F1 champion Lewis Hamilton, F1 blends real-life racing footage with compelling storytelling. Alongside Brad Pitt and Damson Idris, the film features Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, Tobias Menzies, and cameo appearances by F1 legends like Hamilton and Max Verstappen. In News18's glowing 4/5 review, the critic wrote, 'Brad Pitt is nothing short of magnetic. At 61, he carries himself with the swagger, focus, and quiet vulnerability of a real F1 driver." His portrayal of Sonny Hayes was likened to the steely charisma of Max Verstappen and the veteran grit of Fernando Alonso. First Published: July 03, 2025, 23:38 IST
