Aditya Chopra’s Befikre has collected Rs 10.36 crore on its opening day at the box office. The collections are decent, but the expectations were higher when you consider the names behind the film – Aditya Chopra, the man who directed some of the biggest ever blockbusters of Hindi Cinema and Ranveer Singh returning after ‘Bajirao Mastani’.
However, the trailer of ‘Befikre’ had received a mixed response and the audience was limited to the urban youth too.
When compared to the opening day collections of other films in 2016 – ‘Befikre’ is higher than Ajay Devgn’s Diwali release ‘Shivaay’, but lower than Varun Dhawan’s last release ‘Dishoom’.
It currently occupies the No 10 spot, but should go down to No 11 when ‘Dangal’ releases in theatres.
IndicineFBO: We predicted the opening day business of Befikre to be Rs 10.5 crore, the film has collected Rs 10.36 crore. The difference between our prediction and the actual collection is 1%, making it one of our most accurate predictions this year.

Shandaar Part 2
Good collections. Ranveer >>> SRK
It will be a bigger hit than FAN.
The WOM is Mixed to Negative
Week1: 45-50cr
Lifetime: 65-70cr
Dangal can replace ms dhoni first day collections (21cr) but will not cross life time collections of its. Mark shirish kunder words.
Good opening, but need growth over the weekend.
I don’t think strong growth will take place because WOM is mixed to negative.Let’s see
Adult Urban content
Extreme reactions to trailer as well as movie itself
Zero supporting cast
Demonetisation
@RanveerOfficial u r a star
it’s a good opening as per every site except for this varun fan site
Dear Zindagi’s Face value was Alia Bhatt took an opening of 9 with 1200 screens andwith De-monetization at peak but Befikre even with the Aditya Chopra brand name, 2 weeks after DZ failed to score any great. RS got no star power, Varun>Ranbir>>>>Ranvir in star power.
People Blame Mass Audience But the Truth is Its the Multiplex Audience that is Most Dumb in India.. They are Single Handedly Responsible for Degrading the Quality of Indian Cinema By making shitty Rom Coms of Dharma and Yrf SuccessFul.. Atleast We Mass Audeince accept good Massy Movies and Reject the Bad Ones.. Mplex audience is exactly Opposite..
Watte prediction …
Hit tag on 80 I guess …
Wom is negative so movie will be huge flop.
2 minute of silence for those predicted below 10 cr opening.
Ranveer-Ajay …proved
Drishym-6,Bajirao – 12
Shivy-10- Befikre-10.50
Ranveer’ Befikre with (Mixed to Negative WOM): 10.3cr
Srk Dear Dadaji (with Mixed WOM): 8.7cr
Now Officially Ranveer is Bigger Star than Srk…..
Too Much Fun…..
According to some report Befakri has decrease 10% in morning shows than yesterday. It will hardly collect around 50-60 cr in lifetime. It looks like flop.
Befikre Breaks The Life Time Collections Of Nadaan Darinda’s BHTA,MPK,MAMK & MARI BISCUITS.
not bad …weekend 35 crs…1st week 55…lifetime 85…hit
The honest title of the year goes to Befikre. Befakri is a movie which is made by director being Befikre. And result is sh*t Befakri.
Well said @sunny akkiholic.. Ajay has a very low stardom. even newcomers have more crazy fan following than Lejhand ajay.
And then they compared this guy to Ranbir kapoor and Varun dhawan. Truth is that Ranveer is an absolute zero without historical movies of SLB. Both Ranbir and Varun have far bigger stardom than Ranveer.
Will be a big hit… Ranveer rocks again.
Befakri is Nill N Nikki part 2. Most irritatingand stupid movie of the year.
@jolly Lol seriously u r comparing this shitty Actor to Ajay ,who is one of the finest actor in bollywood …. Atleast give some respect to senior actors ,Why trying too hard to prove Ajay below youngsters?
@Rangil Singh 100% Agree wid u Majority Multiplex Audiences r foolish…

Although I don’t like raja seen the critics. Here is what he thinks of Befikre
One of the fables in the Panchtantra involves a jackal who turns blue after tumbling into a tub of indigo and pretends to be someone else — someone superior than his original form.
But his natural instincts soon betray him and he starts howling like a true blue jackal at the first opportunity he gets.
Filmmaker Aditya Chopra reminds of that jackal as I watch his latest offering, Befikre. Although in the note explaining his inclination to make the film, Chopra expresses a desire to get out of his comfort zone and speak the language of modern-day relationships, Befikre’s DNA screams YRF.
And not just because Ranveer Singh and Vaani Kapoor’s floor-her-with-your-moves approach is straight out of Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif’s Ishq Shaava sizzle in Jab Tak Hai Jaan or Ranveer’s attempt to impress her by taking on a chicken wings challenge like SRK’s golgappa contest in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi or a dance off right before the climax just like SRK-Anushka.
Or the archaic ‘let’s make each other jealous by getting married on the same day’ pact of Mujhse Dosti Karogi to even eating out of Chinese takeout in the hospital room like Karisma Kapoor and SRK in Dil To Pagal Hai.
The problem is not so much in Befikre’s recycled imagery as it is in Chopra’s hypocrisy of making it look as though he’s busting long cherished myths, one he only created, like the Palat philosophy, when the upshot is unfailingly, unchangingly the same Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.
No matter how casually his characters treat sex or bare every inch of their extraordinarily fit bodies — there’s even a blink-and-miss shot of Ranveer’s naked bum — Chopra is too much of a romantic to pull off flippancy as the face of love.
For his Paris-based confection, the director borrows the ‘dare’ ruse in Yann Samuell’s lusciously cynical French romance,Jeux d’enfants to colour the camaraderie between his two leads.
In the absence of extremism though, it’s jarring and juvenile.
Dharam (Ranveer Singh) is a stand-up comic hailing from Delhi whose humour is more Kapil Sharma than Kanan Gill. He sounds and behaves like Band Baaja Baaraat’s Bittoo minus the clever, crackling dialogues.
Shyra (Vaani Kapoor) is a Paris-born desi tour guide with a strong aversion for all things Indian because her mom packed aloo parathas in her tiffin box.
Befikre begins with the sound of a thrashed TV set and two bickering people no longer in love.
She wants to leave. He wants his T-Shirt back. She promptly takes it off. She does that a lot, I learned over the course of its 132 minutes.
Before the duo reach the stage of celebrating their break up, a trend that seems to be favoured by Hindi films following Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and Dear Zindagi, a flashback to the year before lets us in on the mandatory meet cute.
Back when Dharam sported slightly longer hair and Shyra had hers tinted bright orange, the couple bumps into each other at a party and bond over his ‘wicked sense of humour.’ Which is — Indian men smell of methi (fenugreek)?
Comedy is all about wit and timing. But the rhythm of these attributes in Befikre, like Vishal-Shekhar’s banal soundtrack, lacks both Frenchness (it could be set anywhere in the world) and fizz.
Meanwhile, Shyra dares Dharam to slap a cop to test if he’s worth her time. Unlike Jeux d’enfants where this perverse pleasure stemmed from a strange childhood obsession that gets dangerous with every passing challenge, the only purpose it serves in Befikre is to set off Dharam and Shyra’s already active libido.
Their affection shows urgency but not passion unless new age love is wolfing down a person like profiteroles.
Chemistry is not the only problem in Befikre; it’s the cosmetic nature of Dharam and Shyra’s relationships.
They never rise above people sharing a frame. They never become a pair.
Ranveer’s best efforts to infuse the scenes with a raunchy charm or mock them wilfully for effect befitting his Deadpool fanboyism are let down by a script that’s too bland to
“Mastermind @ YRF” – Aditya without SRK and the new “super star SRK” – Ranveer without mustache are both exposed!
Now, it’s time for SRK haters to decide if YRF made SRK or vice versa?
Ranveer’ Befikre with (Mixed to Negative WOM): 10.3cr
Srk Dear Dadaji (with Mixed WOM): 8.7cr
So Now it’s Official that Ranveer is Bigger Star than Srk…..
Too Much Fun…
