Besharam HIT or FLOP: Box Office Prediction

Ranbir Kapoor’s second film this year after the super-success of Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani is all set to hit screens tomorrow. Even though the response to the promos of Besharam isn’t as positive as his last three films, expectations of a good film are high.

Here’s why:

  • Besharam is directed by Abhinav Kashyap, who last directed Salman Khan in Dabangg. Kashyap was not only credited for the story and the screenplay of Dabangg, but also for the much-loved dialogues in the film. He is also the man behind the immensely popular character of Chulbul Pandey. It’ll be interesting to see what Kashyap has in store for the audience in his second outing as director.
  • The second and probably the biggest reason why the film is expected to open well is Ranbir Kapoor. Besharam is his 10th film after a disastrous debut in Saawariya, and he has hardly ever put a step wrong since then. His success ratio is high, critics love him and his script-sense is terrific. Also, it’ll be the first time when the audience get to see Ranbir share screen-space with his parents Rishi and Neetu Kapoor.

Besharam Ranbir Kapoor

Quick look at the box office collections of his last 3 films

  • Rockstar (Hit) – 68 crore
  • Barfi (Super hit) – 106 crore
  • Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (Blockbuster) – 188 crore

Now, coming to the box office predictions, Besharam will benefit from a extended 5-day weekend as it releases on Wednesday, a National holiday for Gandhi Jayanti. With approximately 3500 – 3550 screens, it’ll be the widest release for a Ranbir Kapoor film ever. About 15-20% higher than his last release Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, which collected Rs 19.5 crore on its opening day (non-holiday) at the box office.

However, the response to both the trailer and music of YJHD was better than Besharam.

We expect the opening day collections to be around 26 crore net. Business will drop on Thursday and Friday, both working days. Saturday and Sunday collections will then depend on the response that the film gets.

IF VERY GOOD (positive word-of-mouth)

  • First day – 26 crore
  • Weekend (3 day) – 55 crores
  • Extended Weekend (5 day) – 93 crore
  • Week 1 (9 day) –  125 crores
  • Final – 170 crores+ (Blockbuster)

IF AVERAGE (mixed response)

  • First Day – 25 crore
  • Weekend (3 day) – 50 crores
  • Extended Weekend (5 day) – 82 crore
  • Week 1 (9 day) –  110 crores
  • Final – 135 crore (Hit)

IF BAD (worst case scenario)

  • First Day – 24 crore
  • Weekend (3 day) – 45 crores
  • Extended Weekend (5 day) – 70 crore
  • Week 1 (9 day) – 90 crores
  • Lifetime Collections – 105 crores (Average)

Unless the response is as bad as disasters like Himmatwala and Zanjeer, Besharam should easily cross the 100 crore mark. The film is unlikely to be a flop for Ranbir Kapoor even in the worst case scenario. He has a huge fan-base in the Urban centres, which has now extended to smaller centres like UP and Bihar with Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. Having said that, he isn’t quite in the same league as Salman or Shahrukh Khan in the B and C centres of India.

  • Fair prediction..one correction Rockstar was not a hit and if wom is bad opening day will b 20 cr. wom will start from third show and advance is not full for entire day. Only Mumbai and north seems huge

  • Posting that kind of prediction for Ranbir Kapoor is a big achievement for him. I think we just see such big prediction only for SRL, Salman or Akshay movies and now Ranbir. Thats good. Besharam is sure shot hit it will cross 100cr..

  • Box-office battle starts now.
    Besharam
    boss
    k3
    d3.
    Which film will cross ce collection. Most chances of k3. I know boss and besharam will be better content wise than ce….but releasing film is gambling….i dont know ehy ce collected so much….waiting for boss and k3…

  • My prediction for this movie is- Besharam will shatter every record.
    It will collect 200cr easily. And Ranbir will leave all Khans behind him.
    His character in Besharam will be epic. The new MegaStar of India is born.
    Go Babli go.
    Khans will be under your feet in near future:)

  • All Time Industry Hit ‘CHENNAI EXPRESS’ completes 50 DAYS at the Box Office :-
    Exactly 50 days back a Phenomenon called Chennai Express starring KING himself Shahrukh Khan released, as soon as morning show was completed film started crushing all previous records by miles.
    After Breaking First Day(33.12cr), First Weekend(100.42), Fastest 100 crore(3days), First week(157.67cr), Fastest 150cr(7days), Fastest 200cr(14 days) records in India, film went on to become highest grossing bollywood film ever in 15 days. Film has beaten last record holder 3 Idiots by margin of 25 crore, becoming BIGGEST BLOCKBUSTER OF INDIAN CINEMA till date.
    Film is a HISTORIC HIT in Overseas markets also. Film made an unbelievable 50cr in its 1st 3 days, 75cr in first week and total stands at 121cr till yesterday making it 3rd bollywood film to cross 100cr in overseas and fastest of all. Film is going to release in many more markets, soon it will emerge highest grossing bolly film in overseas also. Chennai Express emerged first bollywood film to cross 400cr gross worldwide and finishing at 420cr.
    Chennai Express completed glorious 50 Days at the Box Office Today. Film still running in some theaters across India and overseas. CE has once again proved SRK is the KING OF BOLLYWOOD.

  • even dabagg 2 was a blockbuster by collecting 157 cr. and besharam is a smaller film dabanng 2, so it’s unfair to give a bench mark of 170 cr to become a blockbuster. 140 or 150 cr seems reasonable to get blockbuster states.

  • why so high prediction for besharam ??? only because of YJHD super success ?? that was a fluke success due summer vacation+post IPL+superduper hit music+pairing with deepika, this film has none of those elements, mark my words, the trailer and the music are just poor, this film will the film which will maek ranbir’s downfall ! He isn’t the next superstar, sushant,vidyut,aditya,arjun even shahid will put ranbir behind ! he is just lucky !

    film wont cross 100 cr, likh ke le lo

  • 26 Cr. is impossible. My prediction:1st day -21 cr 1st weekend (5days)-72 cr. Lifetime -107cr Verdict -Above Average

  • as Dabbang should be a flop but it went on to become a hit that time….may be some luck of that time as it was the worst movie ever made in this decade ….otherwise on seeing the promo of this film we can easily judje the class of this film…..this is a 3rd class director……dabbang become a hit because of some luck with the worse plot…i don’t think same will happen always….this time its gone.. besharam will be a flop

  • Besharam:
    1st day : 38cr
    2 Day : 27cr
    3 Day : 25cr
    4day : 33cr
    5 day : 41cr
    Weekend : 164cr
    Weekdays : 70cr
    1st week : 234cr
    2nd week : 102cr
    3rd week : 44cr
    4th week : 18cr
    5th week : 11cr
    6th week : 5cr
    7th week : 2cr
    Remaining : 1 cr
    LIFE TIME TOTAL : 417 cr NETT INDIA

  • Ranbir is not srk or salman that his movies will do well even if it,s rejected by people his movies do will because audience like it if besharm is rejected then it will can,t 50crores because he didn,t have 25% fan follwoing of srk or salman even kareena have more fans then him.

  • ha ha admin,u r just utter nonesense,besharam will not collect 20cr first day,i bet with u that if behsharam pass 20cr then i will leave indicine,u said worst case besharam collect 24cr biggest joke of the year

  • I think first day will be minimum 25 crs, and if response of early shows will nice then it will touch 30 crs. And comparing with first day collection of ce, then as per me it is going to beat chennai express atleast in few territories like delhi/up, east punjab, mumbai and ci. In rest of the circuits ce will ahead. So good luck to new superstar.

  • WTF! Whats mean by ‘SRK n Sallu’ only? Aamir is bap of all these stars,mind it..d3 will conquer every A B C D centres

  • Itzz a good prediction…
    But i think ppl r over rating him…
    Dere is a possibility k it wil b a flop n wraps under 100.. As many movies hav done b4…
    Cozz personally i didnt liked its trailer nor its songs.. N m not goin 2 watch it anyway(No hatred against ranbir)… Instead i wil watch boss after a fortnight.

  • I think predicted numbers are little high. I expect it to open under 25 crores. It isn’t a universal film, and doesn’t follow the same buzz as YJHD. Had the music and trailer were as impressive as YJHD, then it had outside chances of crossing 30 crores, as surprisingly it is releasing on same number of screens as Chennai Express. In all fairness weekend should be around 50 crores, then it will heavily depend on the public response, because it doesn’t have as popular star cast, music, banner, and buzz as YJHD. If it’s good, then it could very well cross 150 crores, but if it’s bad, then it could end up falling short of 100 crores.

  • “Besharam” will not flop.If a movie like “CE” can become hit then “Besharam” will also become 100% hit.”CE” has set a benchmark in the category of crap movies and a movie like “Grand Masti” proved it.lol

  • So far everything shown in besharam is flop. If wom is not good then it is impossible to cross 100 car for besharam .
