Fast X, featuring Vin Diesel and Jason Mamoa, has been experiencing a satisfactory box office performance in the past week. Despite a dip in collections on weekdays, the film continues to fare better than several Indian films.
On May 24, Fast X successfully completed its first week in theatres and surpassed the performance of The Kerala Story, directed by Sudipto Sen and starring Adah Sharma, which has faced scrutiny due to its sensitive subject matter.
After a splendid start at the box office, Fast X garnered an impressive collection of Rs 60 crore during its first weekend. Nevertheless, the film has seen a gradual decline in earnings since that time. Early estimates indicate that the film generated around Rs 4.35 crore in India, surpassing The Kerala Story's earnings of Rs 3.20 crore on the same day.
With the addition of Wednesday’s earnings, Fast X has accumulated a total of Rs 75.20 crore in India within a span of seven days. The film, on Wednesday, maintained an overall occupancy rate of 9.40 per cent.
About Fast X:
Vin Diesel headlines the star-studded cast of Fast X, joined by an impressive ensemble that includes Jason Momoa, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, John Cena, Nathalie Emmanuel, Jordana Brewster, Sung Kang, Scott Eastwood, Daniela Melchior, Alan Ritchson, Helen Mirren, Brie Larson, Rita Moreno, Jason Statham, and Charlize Theron.
The plot revolves around Toretto's mission to safeguard his family from Dante Reyes (played by Momoa), who is driven by a desire for vengeance following his father's demise and the loss of his family's wealth.
Directed by Louis Leterrier, Fast X is projected to earn a staggering $252.7 million in its international market, solidifying its position as the second highest-grossing Hollywood film of the year, trailing only behind The Super Mario Bros. Movie. While the 10th installment of the Fast & Furious franchise has received a mixed response from critics, it is finding success in the South Asian market, particularly in China.
Fast X Jagran English Review:
The emphasis of this movie is more on the stunts rather than the story. It gives the impression of a peculiar collection of disjointed scenes merged together. Every aspect is amplified to an extreme level - from the thrilling vehicle exploits and explosions to the intense hand-to-hand combat and abundant use of CGI.
Considering the significant budget, the special effects could have been executed more impressively. The fundamental flaw of Fast X is its attempt to appear more intelligent than it actually is, resulting in a convoluted mess devoid of any fresh elements. Read full review here.
