F1 box office collection day 1: F1, one of the biggest films of the year, hit the screens on Friday (June 27) and opened to a good response at the Indian box office. The sports action drama also received positive reviews. F1 is directed by Joseph Kosinski of Top Gun: Maverick fame.
F1 opens well in India
Brad Pitt is in the limelight because of his latest film F1, which is out in theaters now. It opened to a good response in India and also impressed moviegoers. According to Sacnilk, a trade website, the sports action drama earned Rs 5.25 crore (nett) on the first day.
It has outperformed Jackie Chan’s Karate Kid Legends, which made Rs 1.75 crore on the first day. It has, however, failed to beat MI 8. Tom Cruise’s action drama made Rs 16.5 crore on its opening day.
The film has received positive reviews with critics lauding the performances and the execution. The healthy word-of-mouth is expected to help it witness good growth on the weekend. F1 has been released alongside Maa, starring Kajol, and the Vishnu Manchu-fronted Kannappa.
It, however, is unlikely to face competition from them as they cater to a different audience. The Telugu biggie is meant for those fond of devotional action dramas. Maa, meanwhile, caters to those craving horror dramas with a ‘desi’ touch.
