Mission: Impossible – Fallout is scaling new heights in terms of its box office performance all over the world. The sixth iteration in the franchise, Fallout, earned Rs 56.13 crore at the Indian box office in its opening weekend. In its home market, it had the franchise’s best opening of a whopping 61.5 million dollars.
Tom Cruise once again takes up the mantle of IMF(Impossible Mission Force) operative Ethan Hunt to take on the Syndicate, an international terrorist organization. Apart from Cruise, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Sean Harris, Michelle Monaghan and Alec Baldwin also return to the scene. Henry Cavill, Vanessa Kirby, and Angela Bassett joined the franchise from this film.
The movie received a 97% rating at Rotten Tomatoes, which is equal to THE 2015 film, George Miller’s Mad Max: Fury Road starring Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron. The movie stands to be one of the best action movies of all time.
The Indian Express film critic Shalini Langer called Fallout AS the best movie in the Mission: Impossible franchise. She wrote, “In a summer season now full of a guaranteed superhero film, at the very least, getting that right is not a mean achievement. Hunt does everything here — shootouts in tunnels, car chases, bike runs, building jumps, helicopter parachuting, copter clashes, cliff climbs, the ever-present mask tricks, and even his famous, famous running streaks across landscapes. Nothing, nothing, seems stale. On the contrary, you may have to take care of your pounding heart a bit through a finale that McQuarrie ratchets up and up, and still concludes satisfyingly.”
Among the box office records, Fallout is the biggest Mission Impossible movie opening day and weekend. It is also the biggest Tom Cruise movie opening day and weekend and the second biggest Hollywood movie opening day this year.
