5 Power-Packed Films That Set the Box Office on Fire

Some films not only release in theatres, but also make a splash at the box office and break all records. These five films made a lot of noise with strong stories, big stars and amazing action. One of them is Metro in Dino. It is like a new part of the 2007 film Life in a Metro. It released in theatres on July 4. It was directed by Anurag Basu. The film started slowly but picked up momentum over the weekend. But now, the love story is losing momentum and the earnings have declined on Monday. The film shows modern love in cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata and Bengaluru. It has big actors like Neena Gupta, Anupam Kher, Pankaj Tripathi and Sara Ali Khan.

The Mission is another film that stood out. Johnny Two is directing it. He made an action-packed crime film but kept it calm and smart too. When someone tries to kill him, the crime boss hires five strong men to save him. The story is simple and straightforward. The film moves between calm and fear. When the action comes, it feels real and clean. Keeping the scenes short and sharp. That's why this film is fun to watch. It's not just action - it shows what makes an action film great.

Sardar Zee 3 is also in the news. Diljit Dosanjh is in the lead role. The film stars Pakistani actress Hania Aamir, who is working in an Indian film for the first time. But after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, India stopped working with Pakistani stars. The team had made this film before, so they released it outside India. They knew they might lose money, but the film did well in other countries. It shows that fans still love a good story, no matter how many questions there are.

Then there's Scarface, where Al Pacino plays Tony Montana. He comes to Miami from Cuba and wants to take over everything. He talks big and acts big. The film is loud, full of crime, drugs and wild scenes. It became a big hit especially in hip-hop culture. It has chainsaw scenes, club shootings and crazy endings. The last film is Ballerina. This film is part of the John Wick series. Ana de Armas plays a dancer who becomes a murderer for revenge. It also stars Keanu Reeves and other actors from the old films. Fans were waiting for this film. Did it make over $10 million? Let's just say it didn't disappoint.

Metro In Dino

A spiritual sequel to the 2007 film Life in a Metro, Metro in Dino was released in theatres on July 4. The film is directed by Anurag Basu. It had a slow start on the first day but performed well over the weekend. But now the love story is struggling to take off, and the earnings have declined on Monday.

'Metro in Dino' has a big cast including Neena Gupta, Anupam Kher, Konkona Sen Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi, Sara Ali Khan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Fatima Sana Sheikh, Ali Fazal and Shashwata Chatterjee. The film shows what love is like in the modern day big cities like Mumbai, New Delhi, Kolkata and Bengaluru.

'Metro in Dino' is produced by Gulshan Kumar and T-Series in association with Anurag Basu Productions. Music producer Pritam and director Anurag Basu are back again. They have given many hit songs in films like Gangster: A Love Story, Barfi!, Life in a Metro, Jagga Jasoos and Ludo.

The film is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishna Kumar, Anurag Basu and Tani Basu.

The Mission

Only Johnny To can make a crime movie and deliver all the bang-up action you’d expect from a Hong Kong film, turning it into a cool, quiet story that speaks for itself. When a crime boss goes undercover, he brings in five of the city’s strongest men to protect him and track down the person who tried to kill him – a plot so simple that you don’t have to worry too much. So To doesn’t. Instead, he paints a big picture of danger, where the five men are individually and collectively on high alert, always ready for the next attack. And when the fight starts, To uses the same calm style of Melville and Antonioni, breaking up the gun scenes into small, simple segments of danger and peace. This movie talks about action movies, and that’s what makes it so interesting to watch.

Sardaar Ji 3

Diljit Dosanjh's new Punjabi film Sardar Ji 3 is facing problems due to its cast.

The film, which released last week, is the first Indian film for Pakistani actress Hania Aamir. After the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, India stopped working with Pakistani actors due to rising issues. Since the team shot Sardar Jee 3 before the attack, they chose to release it only in other countries. The makers knew that not releasing it in India would cost them money, but the film still performed well at the global box office.

Scarface

Fresh off the boat from Cuba, Tony Montana (Al Pacino) starts trouble right away, talks back to the immigration men, and wants to rise fast in this land full of chances. He tells his best friend Manny (Steven Bauer) that Miami is “like a great big pussy just waiting to get fucked.” But Tony doesn’t want a little—he wants everything, and director Brian De Palma and writer Oliver Stone give it to him (but not for free) in their loud and bloody remake of Howard Hawks’s 1932 crime movie. The 1983 Scarface became a big deal in hip-hop culture and its love for flash. Everything in the movie goes over-the-top, like the tall pile of cocaine Tony sticks his face in. De Palma handles all the madness like a pro: a crazy chainsaw scene in a bathroom, a failed murder in a club, and a wild ending where Tony fights off a bunch of killers with a gun that shoots grenades.

Ballerina

Ballerina is a 2025 American action-thriller film. It was directed by Len Wiseman and written by Shay Hatton. It is the fifth film in the John Wick series. It follows John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019) and John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023). The film stars Ana de Armas, Anjelica Huston, Gabriel Byrne, Lance Reddick (in his last film), Norman Reedus, Ian McShane, and Keanu Reeves. The story follows Eve Makaro (played by de Armas), a dancer who becomes a murderer. She fights a group of assassins to avenge her father's death.

Now, let's talk about how much the film made in theaters. Did Ballerina make over $10 million? And did the film live up to people's high expectations for the world of John Wick? Let's find out more!
