The Tom Cruise-starrer Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One was released in theatres on Wednesday. Helmed by Christopher McQuarrie, the film is the seventh instalment in the Mission Impossible franchise. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Dead Reckoning Part One minted an impressive Rs 16 crore on Saturday. The total collection of the film now stands at Rs 46 crore in four days. The film had an overall 41.45% English occupancy on Saturday. Dead Reckoning Part One had a good start, making Rs 12.50 crore on the opening day. On the second and third days, it collected Rs 8.75 crore and Rs 9.15 crore, respectively. Variety reported that the film is looking to make $78 million in the US in five days. Globally, the film has earned $122 million already, and is expected to make $240 million by today. Currently, Dead Reckoning Part One is the only major Hollywood release in theatres. However, later this week, Barbie and Oppenheimer will be released, giving a tough competition to the film. Dead Reckoning Part One and Vin Diesel and Jason Momoa's Fast X had a similar performance on their opening days in India. However, Dead Reckoning Part One outperformed recent Hollywood films like Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, which debuted with Rs 2 crore, John Wick: Chapter 4 (Rs 10 crore), Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (Rs 9 crore), and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (Rs 7.3 crore). The official synopsis of the film read, “Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his IMF team embark on their most dangerous mission yet: To track down a terrifying new weapon that threatens all of humanity before it falls into the wrong hands.” The Indian Express’ Shalini Langar gave a 2.5 star review to the film. A part of the review read, “Age is now showing on the actor’s face, even if he remains as superbly fit as ever, and as nimble when he runs his heart out, like he does. The grand finale of a train dangling over a steep river ravine, with its bogies falling in one by one, as Ethan and Grace scramble to get to the back coaches, clutching at everything, dodging tumbling furniture and kitchen supplies, is one of the most admirable action sequences in a long time.”
