F1 The Movie Kerala Box Office Collection: Brad Pitt's Racing Drama Grosses ₹5 Crore In 10 Days

F1: The Movie Kerala Box Office Collection: F1 The movie, starring Brad Pitt as a veteran Formula One driver making a dramatic return to the track, reportedly completed its 10-day run at the Kerala box office with gross earnings estimated at ₹5 crore. These figures, shared by regional industry tracker Ab George, are yet to be officially confirmed but offer a snapshot of the film's early theatrical performance in the state.

The film opened in India, including Kerala, on June 27, 2025, coinciding with its global release by Warner Bros. Pictures. Marketed as a high-octane sports drama, F1 The Movie blends fictional storytelling with real-world Formula One footage and was shot during actual Grand Prix weekends, with the fictional team integrated into real racing events, as noted in the official trailer description. This distinctive production approach was reportedly made possible through the collaboration of Formula One's governing body, the FIA, and the involvement of seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, who also serves as a producer.

As per early estimates reported on July 6, the film earned ₹52.5 lakh in Kerala on Sunday alone, contributing to the running gross of ₹5 crore over its first ten days. The film's performance in Kerala is being closely observed, given the region's increasing appetite for global releases and the growing popularity of F1 among younger audiences.

Brad Pitt-Led Racing Drama Blends Fiction With Real F1 Action

Directed by Joseph Kosinski, the film follows the story of Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt), a once-promising F1 driver of the 1990s whose career was derailed by a near-fatal crash. Three decades later, he is brought back into the racing circuit by Ruben Cervantes (played by Javier Bardem), the owner of a struggling team called APXGP. Tasked with mentoring a young rookie, Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), Sonny finds himself racing not only against time but also against ghosts of his past. The film also features performances from Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, and Kim Bodnia.

While F1: The Movie has sparked conversation among motorsport fans and cinephiles alike, its strong showing in Kerala over the first ten days suggests healthy audience interest, with sustained performance likely to continue in the near term.
