  • Hit for sure. Depending on the content it may become Super Hit.And last opening will be 10cr+ for suren

  • Bajrangi bhaijaan trailer will be attach with abcd 2 …so movie will get boost due to trailer..
    but personally I think movie will cross 75 cr easily…

  • all d best to d entire team of abcd2. surely varun dhawan is d next salman. hoping a record 2015 opening frm dis movie. a positive thing about dis movie is that – both actors have almost 100% success in all their previous movies

  • Opening will definitely be huge so a hit verdict is definitely on even before the release..but it will be interesting to see whether it crosses 100 crore or not because there are no big films lined up for the next 4 weeks till Bajrangi bhaijaan

  • @indicine, what about phantom ‘ s 1st look and trailer??? It should come fast
    my patience is getting over …!!
    abcd 2 prediction : 66 crore to 88 crore
    only those movies work which has a solid
    story and satifies what a moviegoers want!

  • Abcd2 trailor is simply childish..

    Varun dhawan’s Dialog delivery sucks to the core.. He is simply amateurish.. There is nothing in the trailor which is gud…

    All the stage dance scenes we already watched it in ‘jhalak dikhlaja’ n many TV dance shows..

    The TV stage dance shows r much better than this…

    Totally FLOP trailor..
    My rating 1/5 ! …..

  • Lol and they said it would be the dance anthem of the year with literally
    no dance in it! :v And why is varun considered a good dancer? His dance
    looks average in all the ABCD2 songs & promos.There are far better dancers.

    FLOP

  • Well the lifetime won’t be more than 80.But in case if it emerges a hit then probably Varun would be the brightest spot in the Youngistaan group

  • badalapur was success because low cost . abcd will finish 70 cr with positive wom , if wom extremely positive than thouch 100cr.

  • June has been excellent for me
    first ddd opened to rave reviews,acceptance by urban educated audience, ranveer performance getting huge appreciation and fair bo

    And now abcd2 which is a sure shot hit and if god forbids then maybe a 100cr blockbuster

  • This analysis gives a feeling that ABCD 2 will be successful because the budget is not too high . It has to collect 75 CR+ to be a Hit which is possible if it has a strong weekend . Till now Varun has a 100 % success ratio and Shraddha also has a great success ratio with A2, Ek Villain and Haider . Only Teen Patti and Luv Ka The End were failures . This means she also has a 60 % success ratio . I am personally not excited for ABCD 2 because i don’t like Varun, trailer is mediocre, songs are bad except Sunn Sathiya and i have not seen ABCD . But i agree sequel factor will play a huge role because the people who have liked ABCD will definitely watch it and of course lot of youngsters are fans of Varun . I don’t think it can do 100 CR it may get a good opening but it has 2 weeks so it can do well for itself . So overall there are a lot of assumptions but let us see whether this movie will be a Hit or not ? If it happens it will be his 5th Back to Back Hit and he will maintain his 100 % success ratio but if it flops then this will be Varun’s 1st failure and June’s 3rd Back to Back failure after DDD and HAK . HAK is not doing great for itself and DDD has dropped considerably in the 2nd Week hence it will be maximum get Average Verdict .

  • everything aside , it will be a sure shot hit
    varun is coolest newcomer and is fab in each scene of trailer and songs
    shraddha is either awsome or irritating . her emotional scenes are out of the planet but in some scenes she irritates a lot
    i predict 80 cr for this movie but in exceptional condition it might collect 100 crs too & if content falls flat than it will struggle to collect 50 cr
    excited to see varun in abcd 2 and in dilwale
    #dilwale18dec #srkmagicon18dec

    varun dhawan
    shradhha kapoor
