Ryan Gosling’s *Project Hail Mary* has quietly done something remarkable — it held Indian audiences captive for eight straight weeks, and is now set to sign off with an estimated lifetime gross of ₹89–90 crore, cementing its place as the biggest Hollywood film in India in 2026.

The sci-fi comedy drama added just ₹75 lakh in its eighth week, but even that tells you something: people were still showing up. Its eight-week cumulative gross now stands at ₹88 crore. The film will fall just short of the ₹100 crore landmark — but calling this anything less than a massive hit would be seriously unfair.
