Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol opened yesterday (Thursday) evening to a decent response. The film had been hugely publicised but the opening was not as strong as the publicity warranted.
The film opened at around 4-5pm with one show at some multiplexes going to six shows at other multiplexes. It managed to collect around 50-60% in the metros like Mumbai and Delhi but outside metros in places like Jaipur, Kanpur, Nagpur etc occupancies were around 25-30%.
Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol collected around the 1 crore nett mark on Thursday as per early estimates

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy Set To Release Across India
Friday 16th December 2011 10.30 IST
Press Release
Mumbai, 15th December, 2011: “Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy” is a devilishly clever and a mind-bending thriller film who has inward rave reviews across international platforms. The film is now all set to release exclusively across India; on 23rd December, 2011.
The film is a version of John le Carré's iconic 1974 spy novel. This exciting film is directed by Tomas Alfredson; the one who directed the vampire flick (Let the Right One In). The cast of this latest adaptation is certainly something to get excited about. It is a gathering of the finest examples of British talent, including Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Mark Strong, Benedict Cumberbatch, John Hurt and Tom Hardy.
The film features George Smiley; who is a middle-aged, taciturn, perspicacious intelligence expert in forced retirement. He is recalled to hunt down a Soviet mole in the "Circus", the highest echelon of the Secret Intelligence Service. In keeping with le Carré's work, the narrative begins in medias res with the repatriation of a captured British spy.
With all the excitement and receiving lots of honour from the industry for the film director Tomas Alfredson shares a small story behind the success “When I first met John le Carré, he was very clear about his wishes regarding the film version of his novel Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy;“Please don’t shoot the book or remake the TV miniseries. They already exist. I’m not going to interfere, but you can call me any time if there is anything you wonder about.” I think we have obeyed him to the letter. Of course; you cannot encompass every detail in a book of 349 pages at the movies. But you can take themes and strands and moments, and try to describe what you see. With Tinker Tailor, Soldier, Spy, I think we’ve made a film about loyalty and ideals, values that are extremely relevant – perhaps mostly because they are so rare these days?
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is a true cinematic treat and it would seem that all the pieces are in place - strong director, amazing cast, wonderful story, in short all good things are in store for viewers.

Masand: 'Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol' is a treat for the senses
Rajeev Masand, CNN-IBN
Cast: Tom Cruise, Jeremy Renner, Paula Patton
Director: Brad Bird
Midway through 'Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol', Tom Cruise's character, secret agent Ethan Hunt is seen scaling Dubai's 2,700-foot Burj Khalifa with nothing more than a pair of sticky gloves. Anyone suffering from a fear of heights would be advised to shut their eyes during this breathtaking but also vertigo-inducing sequence that's been filmed in IMAX, and is believed to be performed by Cruise himself. As the camera stares down from the 130th floor of the world's tallest building to capture Cruise making his way up unsteadily, more than likely you'll be clinging to your armrest.
'Ghost Protocol' is easily the most enjoyable of the four Mission Impossible movies, not least because it borrows the best elements of each of the previous films and fuses them to create a fast-paced, clever, and – believe it or not – humorous adventure. Applying the same "no limits" mantra that he used to turn The Incredibles and Ratatouille into such distinctly original and imaginative enterprises, animation veteran Brad Bird, making his live-action debut here, happily sacrifices plausibility for the sake of fun and thrills. What Bird also brings to the table is that genius Pixar touch, turning Hunt and his fellow IMF agents into a variation of the superhero family from The Incredibles.
Hunt's team on this new mission comprises tough-as-nails newbie Jane Carter (Paula Patton), gadget-guy Benji (Simon Pegg reprising his role from MI:3), and mysterious desk analyst William Brandt (Jeremy Renner). Together the team must overcome all manner of obstacles – including being disavowed by the US President when they're (falsely) blamed for bombing the Kremlin – in their pursuit of crazy Russian businessman Kurt Hendricks (Michael Nvqvist), who's determined to blow up the world.
Bird sets the tone early with a cheeky jailbreak scene in Moscow, that's followed by a nifty sequence in which Hunt and his team penetrate a private vault at the Kremlin using a virtual-reality trick to get past security. The wall-to-wall action continues as the team heads to Dubai for that dizzyingly brilliant skyscraper break-in sequence, and a breathless foot and car chase in a blinding sandstorm. It all ends in good ol' Mumbai (recreated in Vancouver and Dubai, sadly) where Hunt and his nemesis duel it out at a fancy parking garage with moving platforms.
Despite its improbable plot and frankly preposterous scenarios, Ghost Protocol races along briskly with earnest performances from its central players, until it arrives at that schmaltzy climax. There's some pleasure to be had watching Anil Kapoor in a cameo as a sleazy Indian billionaire, who sportingly lets Patton's character take him out in a few quick moves.
Shot and edited with remarkable flair, Ghost Protocol is a treat for the senses. Cruise, who's pushing 50 but hasn't lost any of his charm, makes a convincing action hero, exuding warmth, humor and vulnerability to humanize the part. But the film belongs to its captain, director Brad Bird, who recognizes exactly what the franchise needed for a quickstart.
I'm going with three-and-a-half out of five for 'Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol'. It's exactly the kind of film that goes very well with a bucket of popcorn!
Rating: 3.5 / 5

I loved playing a womaniser in 'MI-4': Anil Kapoor
Anil Kapoor, whose second Hollywood project 'Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol' has just released, says he enjoyed every moment of playing a womaniser in the hit franchise.
Kapoor, 51, who shared the screen space with actors like Tom Cruise and Paula Patton, said he landed the part after a chance meeting with the Cruise.
“I had met the producers of the film and met Tom Cruise, the star of the 'Mission Impossible' films and so I thought let me go and meet them and if I'm lucky I might get a part in this incredible franchise and then I forgot about it.
“Then one night I got this e-mail from my agent who said there was this offer from Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol where I have to play a womanizer, and of course I jumped at it,” Kapoor said during a telephonic interview from Los Angeles.
He said that his role in the Oscar-winning film 'Slumdog Millionaire' as a calculating quizmaster had made Hollywood look at him afresh.
“I think a few of the writers had seen Slumdog Millionaire before, so that and my work in the series 24 which I had done internationally made this role happen. I think I'm fortunate to break into Hollywood with this role as Brijnath, a telecom giant who loves throwing parties and having fun, but of course he also has a dark side and has a weakness for women.
“He thinks that he is very crafty but actually he gets quite loud and sometimes gets obnoxious,” Kapoor said.
