Project Hail Mary Holds Steady in India, Edges Closer to Rs 50 Crore
Hollywood sci-fi adventure Project Hail Mary, starring Ryan Gosling, continues to perform steadily at the Indian box office. On its second Monday, the film added an estimated Rs 1.75 crore to its tally. While this marks a 60% drop from Friday and around 37% down from the previous Monday, it’s in line with typical weekday trends for a Hollywood release.
The film’s 12-day run has taken its gross to Rs 46.75 crore. With the second week projected to bring in Rs 22–24 crore, the two-week total is expected to cross the Rs 50 crore mark, proving that audiences are still intrigued by the interstellar tale.
Initially, projections pegged the film’s Indian run at around Rs 50 crore, but with steady traction, it could finish its theatrical journey between Rs 70–75 crore, depending on upcoming weekdays and weekend performance.

About Project Hail Mary
The film follows Ryland Grace, an American middle-school science teacher and former molecular biologist, who wakes up on a spaceship after a deep coma with no memory of how he got there. As he pieces together clues and recalls his mission, he befriends an alien named Rocky and races to complete a critical task that could save Earth.
Despite modest weekday dips, Project Hail Mary is steadily building momentum in India, showing that a strong story and Ryan Gosling’s star power can hold audiences’ attention even outside the Hollywood blockbuster framework.
