Ballerina and Materialists box office collection Day 2: Ana de Armas and Dakota Johnson starrers sees good growth on Saturday
Hollywood's big weekend at the Indian box office saw a promising upswing in collections as Ana de Armas-led Ballerina and Dakota Johnson 's Materialists battled for audience attention alongside the family-friendly How to Train Your Dragon, which continues to dominate. Spinning out from the John Wick universe, Ballerina (also available in 4DX) made a confident leap at the Indian box office. After an opening day collection of Rs 1.6 crore on Friday, the action-thriller saw a significant jump of 68% on Saturday, earning an estimated Rs 2.7 crore. This brings its two-day domestic total to Rs 4.3 crore, according to data from Sacnilk. A large chunk of the revenue came from English-language shows, which contributed approximately Rs 3.38 crore of the total. The dubbed versions in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu collectively added the remaining Rs 92 lakh, indicating the franchise's continued appeal among urban, English-speaking audiences. Ballerina, headlined by Ana de Armas , is set between the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 and Chapter 4, and has benefited from brand recognition and a visually immersive 4DX release. It has managed to secure the second-highest box office opening for a Hollywood film this weekend, trailing only behind How to Train Your Dragon, which is on track to cross the Rs 10 crore mark. Meanwhile, Materialists—a romantic comedy starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans , and Pedro Pascal , and directed by Celine Song—had a softer start, opening with Rs 60 lakh on Friday. However, the film doubled its collections on Saturday, earning Rs 1.31 crore and bringing its two-day total to Rs 1.91 crore. Though behind Ballerina in the domestic market, Materialist is making headlines globally. The film debuted with an impressive $12 million in North America, marking the third-highest opening ever for A24, behind only Civil War ($25.5 million) and Hereditary ($13.5 million). This performance continues the recent momentum for rom-coms at the box office, following the success of Ticket to Paradise ($16.5 million) and Anyone But You ($6 million). With Father's Day on Sunday and positive word of mouth, all three films are expected to benefit from weekend footfall. Ballerina may cross Rs 6 crore by the end of the weekend, while Materialist could reach Rs 3 crore, depending on Sunday's momentum. How to Train Your Dragon, buoyed by family audiences and critical praise, is leading the pack and poised to be the weekend's breakout winner.

'He was my biggest fan...': Anupam Kher shares emotional Fathers Day tribute to late father Pushkar Nath
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 15 (ANI): Actor Anupam Kher moved fans to tears this Father's Day as he paid an emotional tribute to his late father, Pushkar Nath, through a heartfelt video on social media. Reflecting on the values and wisdom imparted by his father, Kher spoke candidly about the deep impact his father had on his life, both personally and professionally. In a self-made video posted to Instagram on Sunday, Kher shared, "Today is officially Father's Day, but I couldn't find any quote or poem that could capture who my father was." He described Pushkar Nath as the kindest father, someone who never raised his voice, not even once, and remained a pillar of positivity, encouragement, and gentle wisdom throughout his life. "He was my biggest fan," said Kher, recalling how his father would praise even his weakest performances with pride. Kher recounted how his father taught him one of life's greatest lessons: "Failure is an event, not a person." This mantra helped shape Kher's optimistic outlook and his passion for spreading joy, which he now calls his life's motto, "The easiest thing in the world is to make someone happy." The actor also shared a deeply personal memory of his father's final moments. Struggling to speak due to illness, Pushkar Nath attempted to write something down for his son. Though his hand failed him, he ultimately whispered two unforgettable words in Anupam's ear, "Live life." These words, Kher says, have since guided every moment of his journey. In the caption, he wrote, "My dad #Pushkarnath was an ordinary man!! But dad he was extraordinary! On the bed of 'death', he gave me the greatest knowledge of 'life'. This will be the form of God to me! Happy Father's Day to all of you! Hail to all the good dads in the world!" On the professional front, Anupam Kher is preparing for the release of his directorial project 'Tanvi The Great', scheduled to hit theatres on July 18. He is also featured in the upcoming ensemble drama 'Metro... In Dino', releasing on July 4. Additionally, his fourth book, 'Different But No Less', is set to offer more insights into his life philosophy. (ANI)

Actress-filmmaker Renuka Shahane: 'There are so many situations where casual misogyny and toxic behaviour is normalized'
In an exclusive interview with Firstpost, the actress spoke about the idea of her animated short film 'Loop Line,' her excitement as the film gears up for its screening at New York Film Festival, and cinema celebrating misogyny on celluloid in the name of heroism. read more Actor and filmmaker Renuka Shahane has made her third directorial feature that is titled Loop Line. It's a short animated film in Marathi that will be screened at the New York Indian Film Festival on June 21. It's a disturbing subject on the monotony of a married woman, the same discomforting subject that was tackled in films like The Great Indian Kitchen and its remake Mrs. In an exclusive interview with Firstpost, the actress spoke about the idea of the story, her excitement as the film gears up for its screening, and cinema celebrating misogyny on celluloid in the name of heroism. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Edited excerpts from the interview What is the excitement like because the film has made it to the New York Film Festival? I am extremely excited not only because it's something that I have done for the time. Being from live action and coming to animation, making an animation short has been a very, very exciting learning experience for me. And then for it to be selected in film festivals that matter so much, for me as well as my team, I think it's, an incredible honour. What is the meaning of the title? Loop line, if you can explain it. Well, the film talks about, sort of, the relentlessness of domestic duties that a housewife has to do. She's almost on auto mode, you know. And her life, I have compared, parallelly with the Mumbai local train that runs on a track right next to her house. And it's about the same thing that you know, she's constantly being overloaded by people and responsibilities. And, there is no scope for delay. She has to run day in and day out, and yet she's not really regarded, with great admiration. So it's basically a thankless job, and that's why it's called Loop Line because it keeps happening again and again. And that's the central theme that it is, you know, a day in her life which is representative of, many, many, many days in her life or in the life of many millions of housewives who are in the same situation. India has not properly utilized the animation format. So was this the reason you and your entire team chose the animated format for this? I, as a writer, imagined the story that I was writing in animation. A, because it has a lot of imagination in it, and the housewife deals with the drudgery of her life and her loveless marriage by, you know, imagining things that she finds beautiful that takes her away from that drudgery and also as an expression of her emotions. So when I was writing it itself, I felt that it takes to animation rather than live action. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD And, there is a certain quality in the script which I wanted, which was of being involved with the characters and not completely, like, you know. So animation gives that scope for the audience to be involved, but at the same time, be dissociated because you're not looking at your flesh and blood people. You know? So I think it was the demand of the script that I chose animation and, of course, because I love animation. And it's something that I have loved watching, you know, through my childhood, and I feel that it is such a compelling format to tell stories. So that was something, and, also, it excited me that I would get to learn something new, you know, to go into another direction. So all these were the, you know, points of view that I had. When I took it, I had already decided to make it an animation film before I took it to Paperboard Design Studio. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Where did the idea of the story come from? This is a germ let me say, as a writer, the evolution of making, the three films that I have made till now. Like, my directorial debut was the Marathi film Rita, which was based on my mother's novel. So it was like her perception. It was my mother's novel that I was kind of adapting into a screenplay. The second was Tribhanga. It was a gut level reflection of what I had observed around me perhaps, what I had imagined, and it was like me throughout. And Loop Line is something that I have not experienced ever. Like, it's not my life, and yet I have observed many such lives. So in that sense, it's an evolution for me because now I'm writing about things that, maybe don't come from a lived experience, let's say. So, you know and, of course, it's about a theme that is very close to my heart because it's about women's lives, women's journeys, women's everyday lives. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD So I think that, of course, has always been of interest to me. And, so it all came together in this, you know, in a succinct way in this story. What does it take for women to finally speak up, to break that loop, to muster up the courage and walk away from any relationship that turns toxic or abusive? What a lovely question that is. I think that in most films that you see and, you expect that women will finally take either a small or a big step to break out of this, you know, sort of toxic marriage or toxic situation of any kind. And, my Loop Line talks about those women who really don't have that kind of power to do that. They don't give themselves that option. And, I know that the option that many people take of stepping out or doing something different or rebelling is extremely tough. It's a very, very difficult, decision to make. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD And yet, even living in a situation like this is also extremely difficult and requires a lot of strength. So I think we talk less about stories where women find ways to deal with their own situation and deal with the toxicity of their lives, in ways which might not, seem rebellious in terms of what society expects. But, at the same time, I feel that these little things that they are doing with their own selves, like, in their own minds, is a rebellion in a way, and that's what keeps their sanity. It takes incredible amount of strength for women to kind of speak up. You must be aware. All of us know that on social media, there is a difference between the trolling that women face and the trolling that men face. So I think that, basically, traditional societies would rather that women, you know, kind of sit at home and and not open their mouths, basically. So, that that is, still ongoing, you know, in a very insidious way. So the women who speak up, they are really, really, you know, brave, and I feel it takes a lot of courage to, even stick with your lives, against incredible odds. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD We have seen women characters in movies who have been submissive, who have given it to toxic people. So when you watch these movies, is there a sense of discomfort you feel? Yes. That is the idea that, you know, out of that discomfort, you start thinking and you start wondering whether this is the right way of behaving. You've seen this happening enough in families, and one never actually steps in and says that, oh, why are you behaving like this with your wife, your sister, your maid, whatever, whichever woman character there is in your house. There are so many situations where casual misogyny and toxic behaviour is normalized. There is no physical harm, isn't there? But sometimes the mental scars are even worse, especially if they continue over a very long period of time. So I think it takes a lot of courage to speak up, to change your situation because, the rest of your life might not be that happy ending that you thought of. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD So, it's a difficult thing. And today, what has happened is, unfortunately, there is such an imbalance that there are a lot of empowered women who are, you know, kind of, breaking glass ceilings everywhere. And yet, the set of values or moral values that are attached to women have not changed that much. And, the traditional roles of men have also not changed. I mean, they are also not given a chance to do something different.
