Bang Bang vs Chennai Express: Box Office Collection Comparison

Bang Bang has collected Rs 94.13 crore in its first extended weekend at the box office, which is about 10% lower than the first 4 days collections of Shahrukh Khan’s 2013 Eid release Chennai Express.

Quick points on the release circumstances of the two films

  • Chennai Express released on 3500 screens in India, while Bang Bang has released on 4300 according to Fox Star Studios.
  • Chennai Express released on the holiday for Eid considered to be one of the best periods for film releases. Bang Bang released about 3 weeks before Diwali and during the the Navratri period, which is not considered to be the best time to release films.
  • Chennai Express had a solo release, Bang Bang released alongside Haider which released on 1250 screens in India.
  • Both films were commercial entertainers with two of the most bankable male and female stars in the country (domestic business only).
  • Chennai Express trended very well and went on to be one of the biggest grossers of all time. It could probably have been even bigger if not for the release of Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobaraa the following week.

  • @indicine stop embarassing us by comparing universally loved blockbuster like ce,kick k3 with a avg wom film like bb.

    u shd instead compare bb with avg wom films like jai ho,ra one and taalash

    thank u

  • Hr – 8 hits. Amir – 7 hits. Shahid – 4hits (boi-3) … That is why, they lack any loyal fan base. They are dependent on guranteed hit scripts, raju hirani , critical acclaim or universal appeal movies.

  • SRK will attack this Diwali even Tom cruise has taken a back seat. Most certain happy New year will become the first 300crore movie.

  • omg dispite clash bang bang is come close to ce.
    but it’s all depend upon wom from Tuesday onwards.
    bb 1st week – 135+ cr
    mark my word.

  • Honestly being a Hr fan I was hugely disappointed after watching Bang bang… .d Only positive was hrithik. Seriously hope dat hR does better movies, which deserve him… If at all he wants to stay “mehfoos” in bollywood.

  • Shahid has 4 hits in 10 yrs. Hr has 8 hits overall in his career. Amir has 7 since 2000. Bcoz of these , they have no fan following among masses. If they do a mass movie like dabang,singham ,, it will open even less than akshay kumar’s boss. #fact . Hr,amir,shahid are dependent on dream projects, raju hirani and big budget universal appeal movies too much.
    @indicine publish this.

  • @hardik pande first of all hr has 9 hits with success rate 50%
    second of all k3,agneepath,d2 were mass movies that opened brilliantly

    so think bfr u tok

  • How can be bang bang release in 4300 screens in india in despite of releaing another film like haider which also got approx 1250 screens??….bang bang gets only 3500 to 3600 screens…..

  • @arjun kapoor aka romance new yr
    bang bang is not average movie.
    movie is still doing well. even today is bakri eid.
    collection will definitely comes around 20cr
    5day total come close to 114 cr.
    movie will be hit. this time I’m with u hr fan dispite Salman and aamir fan.

  • In despite of limited release nd with highly critically acclaimed movie haider, bang bang has collected 94 crores in just 4 days…this shows the power of superstar hritik roshan.

  • Good article.Bang Bang should be compared with Chennai express only in terms of box office collections.Dhoom 3 and Kick r too big for comparison.

  • @hardik pande thank you sir for your intelligence, yes they need script,direction every thing while your idol who ever is come alone in the film,only he on the screen, he directing,he singing,hr dancing,he is spot boy and also producing.
    We are proud that we have actors who works as a team whatever the verdict of film.
    Waise kya aap complan boy k brother ho,don’t mind itna sharp mind unhi Ka h.

  • CE was collected huge money because it was well made entertainer, able to entertain released on probably the best weekend in 2013, yes one upon a time dent its collection but actually its CE who dent OUATIMD very badly by pushing it one week ahead,you guys should also thank if OUATimd wouldn’t postponed than CE could never been an all time grosser,remember till cr trailer release its Once upon who booked EID first but their producer wasn’t much strategy maker.

  • Oh no more comparative articles to appease Jaadoo fans…!

    Why not go all the way n make them smile by comparing Bang Bang with nipuns favourite Lootera and Arjun Kapoors fav Finding Fanny….

  • @arjun fanny-less kapoor

    Your pathetic attempts at being a comedian are embarrassing- give it a rest- go find a fanny or go get some balls n man up to the truth that without Boney Sir you are going to be a loser in next to no time as you are without a shadow of doubt the most talentless joker out of all the youngistan brigade…!

  • what happens with bang bang same thing happens with hny. after all its farah movie. I forgot everything about hny.
    very low buzz. bcoz I feel it and this time one can save hny.

  • @arjun kapoor: at kick time, i honoured you an award named “most irritating person” on indicine. I did the right thing.You are the same guy who supported “HUMSHAKALS” like anything. Why god why? ? Watching himmatwala is still better than reading arjun kapoor’s comment:p

  • bang bang is better then ce…ce is the big crap movie of 2013…and i like all movies of shahrukh khan but ce is crap in recent times…!!!!
    if bang bang release in eid like ce then it will cross 200cr. mark

  • @indicine, You should compare with DABBANG 2, YJHD and SR. I wish bang bang cross 200cr coz it will deserves for that.

  • outmd was flop coz of ce…if outimd didnt changed their date…then it will be Hit..thats why from the following year i Hate shahrukh khan…he requested jeetender ji to changed the release date of outimd…

  • Bang Bang will finish below Jaadoo 3 at 160 cr or so- it will be 10% lower than Hrithiks last yr Diwali release and thats a poor showing.
