Ryan Gosling’s Project Hail Mary Is Winning India’s Heart — ₹28 Crore in 8 Days & Still Going Strong!

Hollywood sci-fi films don’t always land big in India. But every once in a while, one comes along that Indian audiences genuinely embrace — and Project Hail Mary is doing exactly that. With minimal competition at the box office and powerful word-of-mouth, Ryan Gosling’s space survival drama is delivering the kind of steady, legs-driven run that every studio dreams about.

The film has grossed ₹28.75 crore in just 8 days at the Indian box office — and the momentum is only building heading into the second weekend.

Film Overview

Why This Performance Is Genuinely Impressive

The day-to-day drop is remarkably small for a Hollywood sci-fi release in India. In fact, the Day 8 collection of ₹2.75 crore actually shows a 5% spike over the previous day — a sign that the film’s audience is growing, not shrinking. With no major competitor releasing this Good Friday weekend, a significant jump to close to ₹40 crore by Sunday is very much on the cards.

Based on the novel of the same name by Andy Weir, the film follows Ryland Grace — a science teacher who wakes up alone on a spaceship with no memory of how he got there. As he pieces together his mission to save Earth, he forms an unlikely bond with an alien named Rocky. It’s a story about science, survival, and friendship that manages to be both intellectually engaging and deeply emotional — which is likely exactly why it’s resonating so strongly with Indian audiences who appreciate smart storytelling.
