Brad Pitt’s film became a hit
Brad Pitt’s new film F1 has taken the theatres by storm! This racing drama, released on 27th July, had a great start across the world.
Real Formula One racers are also seen in this film by Top Gun: Maverick director Joseph Kosinski, which has made the film even more exciting.
This is how the earnings were in India
According to Saconil, F1, made with the support of Lewis Hamilton and Jerry Bruckheimer, had a good start in India.
