Baaghi Day 1 Box Office Collections: Tiger Shroff is a star

Baaghi has surpassed all expectations on Day 1 at the box office. The film has not only managed to beat Akshay Kumar’s Airlift, but has also matched the business of Shah Rukh Khan’s FAN in quite a few mass circuits.

The opening is phenomenal when you consider the fact that the film did not have a chartbuster song and Baaghi was Tiger Shroff’s second film after ‘Heropanti’. For the kind of opening that Baaghi has managed at mass centres on Day 1, films usually require the presence of an established star or chartbuster music. Baaghi had none, which is why the opening has surprised the trade.

Shraddha Kapoor’s presence might have helped the film at smaller centres, because her last few films like ‘Aashiqui 2’, ‘Ek Villain’ and ‘ABCD 2’ have performed well.

Films like Baaghi usually show a drop of around 10% in business on Saturday. But there is tremendous potential for growth at multiplexes in cities, where the occupancy was low on Friday. If business at big cities picks up on Saturday, Baaghi could show some growth, which would mean a very healthy weekend total for the film.

The Sabbir Khan directed film is now looking at weekend business of 35-40 crore, depending on how well it holds up on Saturday.

The industry has a new star in Tiger Shroff. Both his films (Heropanti and Baaghi) have opened well and the actor has also managed to carve a niche for himself in the industry. Among the younger generation of stars, very few can pull off action the way Tiger can and this will be his USP in the years to come.

#IndicineFBO: We predicted Rs 9.4 crore as the opening day collections of Baaghi. The film has collected Rs 11.87 crore. The difference between our prediction and the actual collection is 26%. We’ve had a poor record when it comes to predicting the opening day collections of films starring the younger stars in the industry. Kapoor & Sons, Ki & Ka and Baaghi were all incorrect.

  • Guys. I would like to make a big announcement today. I have always maintained it that for any new actor to gain entry into youngistaan he needs to pull of 2 hits on his own & impress with acting or some X factor. This process was followed for all youngistaan members and now v r set to have a new entry-TIGER SHROFF
    He may lack acting skills but his outstanding action skills fab body & mass appealing scripts is enough for me to show faith in this boy and consider him a future big star( even a superstar). Also i like his calm shy off screen personality.

    So congrats Tiger on ur entry into youngistaan-a team of future superstars

  • 11.87 CR is a huge number . I was expecting 7 to 8 CR on first day but it has exceeded my predictions . I still don’t know what is so special about Tiger Shroff but he has gained a good following in masses . I don’t think I will watch Baaghi as it is looking like a Cliche Action movie . Shraddha has been a big factor in EV, ABCD 2 and now Baaghi . A2 worked because of fabulous music . If Baaghi scores solid today and tomorrow then it will post a healthy total . Tiger in his 2nd movie is taking great leaps forward .

  • Luvd ur last line indicine
    “V have a poor record when it comes to predicting opening for young actors films”
    Thanx and plz never ever underestimate the power of YOUTH

  • Tiger has a good fan following specially in mass circuits for His Action & Dance…congratzz Tiger!!He has propensity to bring the crowd; bt He has to improve His acting for sure if He wants to go Long way in His career!!

  • Good that you mentioned fan also otherwise some retarded ppl would be like Tiger>Khiladi :-P

    it has release in much more number of screens compare to airlift . Airlift occupancy was better.

  • Simply phenomenal.
    Tiger (Original one, not the “Chuha” available on indicine) is indeed a star in making .

    @Akki fans : Any explanation please?
    For you all, a kid had beaten the world’s biggest superstar, right? (Yes, I am talking about FAN VS JB).
    Then What is your opinion about Tiger? Even he is a kid as he is just one film old?
    How it feels when a newcomer beats the opening day collections of your “patriotic” star’s movie (who has spent almost 25 years in this industry).
    And before you jump into the conclusion, please note that I have used your own theory to make this comparison, so don’t blame me for that.

  • It’s surprising opening but the reason can be the high number of screens it has got . It’s 2800 or 3500 screens In India. Shrdha also holds excellent fan following despite doing nothing extraordinary so far.

  • this is why we call arjun youngistaan fan is biggest chameleone. untill baaghi opening day tiger wasn’t part of youngistaan but after fantastic opening he is.

  • How it managed to beat airlift ? R u kidding us? Airlift 12.35 in 2300 screens with clash and bhaghi 11.67 in 2900 screens solo.

  • @Arjun 11:48 am : Lol, nice to see your “Youngistaan” brigade is getting strengthen.
    At least, I won’t repeat that mistake again (to underestimate the power of newcomers) as far as Youngistaan brigade is concerned as Dilwale VS BM is an eye-opener for all.
    Also, love the way you support “Younigistaan” despite of receiving relentless bashing form other established star fans.
    Keep it up.

  • Im jst imagining dat if baaghi had grt word of mouth den how much more d collections would have been.. And tiger ur d best superstar..?

  • In action department , Tiger sets new standards !
    He need to improve his acting skills though!
    Best of luck !
    Aur ye Jo kamal ka talent hai na logo ki , Jo har baat KO SRK se jod dete hai , kamaal ke talented log hai yaha . Bahut upar tak jayoge ! Lol !

  • @Fool 11:47 am : Why only SRK? Baaghi’s opening is bigger than the opening of many “Established” star’s movie. No comparison on that? Why are you so envy of Khans you fool?

    @JS 11:57 am : It doesn’t work in that way you shit mouthed joker.
    Else your non-actor would have been seen begging in last decade, if we accept your theory for an instance.

  • Without Acting He Will not get a Big Career in Bollywood.

    He has huge fan following among Boys but not in Girls which is a disadvantage for Tiger.

    Only on the basis of Action how much film will he Do in Future………….At some point People will bore from his action Avatar & his Abs body.

    He needs to do Good films where can show his Acting talent to get the attention of Good Directors otherwise one or Two Flops & His Career will come in the Border line of Destruction.

    He has to choose Good Scripts because Baaghi is very very week when it comes to Storyline.

  • Airlift’s opening day collections
    12.35cr
    Baaghi opening day collections
    11.87cr
    How did it beat Airlift????
    If u are talking about mass centres then yes it would be … But multiplexes no chance..!!!!

  • @insane fan, u illiterate. Plz first read wat i have written in mu comment. Obviously u need to prove ur mettle to b part of any team or gain star status. Nobody predicted this opening for baaghi
