Ryan Gosling’s Project Hail Mary is closing in on the Rs 40 crore mark in India, and its latest jump suggests the film still has plenty of fuel left in its theatrical run. The sci-fi drama recorded a strong 20 percent rise on its second Saturday, a healthy sign for a film that has managed to hold audience attention well beyond its opening week.
That upward movement has now taken Project Hail Mary to Rs 39.50 crore gross in India, putting it within touching distance of another major milestone. For a Hollywood original in a market often dominated by event franchises, the hold is a strong indicator that the film has found a loyal urban audience.
Second Weekend Surge Keeps India Run Hot
The latest confirmed figures show Project Hail Mary collected Rs 4.50 crore gross on second Friday before climbing to Rs 5.50 crore gross on second Saturday. The film’s extended opening week total stood at Rs 29.50 crore gross, and the second weekend trend has kept that momentum alive in a meaningful way.

What stands out here is the film’s ability to sustain footfalls after the initial rush. Strong word of mouth, premium format appeal, and Ryan Gosling’s star value have helped keep Project Hail Mary firmly in play at the Indian box office. That is not an easy feat for an original science fiction drama, especially one built more on emotion, mystery and character than franchise familiarity.
Directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, Project Hail Mary adapts Andy Weir’s novel into a big-screen survival story with a human pulse. Gosling leads the film as Ryland Grace, a science teacher who wakes up alone on a mission tied to Earth’s survival, and the mix of scale, humor and emotional stakes seems to be striking a chord with Indian audiences looking for spectacle with substance. The cast also includes Sandra Huller, Lionel Boyce, Ken Leung, Milana Vayntrub and Priya Kansara.
Ryan Gosling’s Recent And Upcoming Work
This India run adds another notable chapter to Gosling’s recent career phase, which has seen him move smoothly between crowd-pleasing studio films and sharply defined star-driven performances. In 2024, he starred opposite Emily Blunt in The Fall Guy, David Leitch’s action comedy that earned a warm audience response during its theatrical run. Before that, he played Ken in Barbie in 2023, the global blockbuster that became one of the biggest pop culture events of the year.
Now, Project Hail Mary has given Gosling another headline-grabbing theatrical success, this time in a genre space that depends heavily on audience connection and strong holdover business. The film reinforces his standing as a star who can anchor both mainstream entertainers and more distinctive studio projects, while keeping his box office pull intact across very different worlds.
