Most Disappointing Bollywood Movies of 2014

Jai Ho: Salman Khan did not have any release in 2013 which was a first for him. So when he was returning after more than a year with a film that was labelled as a social drama, expectations were certainly running high. Unfortunately, Jai Ho turned out to be a damp squib filled with clichéd situations, unconvincing storyline, awful casting filled with B grade actors and above all unnecessary

I Box Office Collections: Vikram – Shankar film

The Hindi version of Vikram starrer ‘I’ has collected Rs 2.1 crore on its opening day at the domestic box office (including paid previews on Thursday). The film has done well in the Mumbai circuit, especially in Mumbai city where the response was the best ever for a dubbed south Indian film.

Box Office India: What makes a film Hit, Flop, Super Hit or Blockbuster?

A lot of our readers wonder how a film that earns around Rs 60 crores, like an Action Jackson, is declared a ‘FLOP’ at the box office.

Tevar Saturday (Day 2) Box Office Collections

The first release of 2015 has bombed at the domestic box office, as Arjun Kapoor’s Tevar has failed to show the growth it needed on Saturday. The film was below-the-mark at both mass centres and multiplexes in cities where the response has been incredibly poor.

#IndicineFBO (Indicine’s First Day Box Office Prediction) turned out to be accurate as Tevar collected around Rs 7 crore (official figure) at the domestic box office. We had predicted Rs 6.5 crore, which is approximately the ‘actual’ collection of the film on Day 1. Predictions for the first day collections of every movie will be updated everyday depending on its buzz and interest level. A hit song or a brilliant marketing tactic that works, will immediately make an impact on the opening day prediction. Note: First Day predictions will be made once the trailer of a film is released.

Tevar Box Office Opening

Tevar has taken a poor opening at the box office on Friday. While mass centres were below average (considering the genre of the film), multiplexes in cities opened very poorly. The occupancy of Tevar, at select multiplexes that we tracked, was lower than Aamir Khan’s PK which is in its 4th week today.
