Box Office Highlights so far in 2015

The first quarter of 2015 has been dull for the industry. The Top 5 superstars were missing from action, even though Ranbir Kapoor was seen in this year’s biggest Hindi opener ‘Roy’.

The biggest grosser of the year – Akshay Kumar’s Baby was also one of the most critically acclaimed movies of the year. The film fell short of the 100 crore club, but did well in major cities and circuits like Mysore.

    3 Badlapur-7.5/10
    4 Hunterr-6.5/10

    bb – 275 to 300 cr
    dilwale – 250 to 275 cr
    honestly I’m speaking…
    my prediction always comes true
    last yr I predicted bang bang for 175 cr n hny for 190 cr and look both these collection come close to my prediction…

  • Movies that I didn’t enjoy this year
    1 leela-0/10
    2 Roy-2/10
    3 tevar-5/10
    4 dum laga k haisa-5/10
    5 shamitabh-5.5/10

  • Hera pheri 3 confirmed for 18th dec
    so definitely brand hp3 will affect varunwale I mean dilwale collection…

  • This year I’m only waiting for these movies
    gabbar singh, welcome back, bajrangi bhaijaan, drishyam, prem ratan dhan payo , hera pheri 3 and avengers 2….

  • We know that …the one man army…the real superstar india currently have…the messiah…who dnt claim he got 3.5billion fans..but his movies are blockbuster…come this eid Bollywood will find its first blockbuster this year…..second on Diwali….naam hi kaafi hai

  • highest grosser is going to be replace by fast n furious7 wow and also avengers is coming so 2 back to back 100cr hollywood movie this is amazing all records will thrash one by one Bajrangi Bhaijaan coming.

  • My prediction for second half :

    * Highest opening day – Bajrangi Bhaijaan or Dilwale.. PRDP will longer but opening no chance due to Diwali day relese.

    * Highest opening weekend – Again BB or Dilwale

    * First week – BB or PRDP !!

    * Highest grosser of the year
    – PRDP
    – Bajrangi Bhaijaan or Dilwale
    – Dilwale or BB
    – Brothers
    – FAN (if releases in 2015)

    Business wise only 3 movies (BB, PRDP and Dilwale) are biggest with uncertainty around FAN release. Brothers will be the next biggest movie. Bombay Velvet have received negative response to its trailer !!!!!!

  • hahaha @shaggy u r expecting 400cr from prdp!!!

    this sallu fans seems to hv totally lost it and everyday some sallu fans r quoting a new figure that prdp will touch

    on the other hand they stil make fun of @sss for predicting 30pcr for hny which was still slightly realistic but 400cr expectation from prdp is ridiculous

  • first 100 crore grosser will be ff7 and in hindi movies gabbar has a chance if he misses bajrangi will be first 100, 200 may be 300 crore movie. all the best to rowdy and dabangg of hindi cinema.

  • @ hrithik :
    I must say your predictions are pretty sensible , keeping in mind that you are a Bhai-fan !
    (I mean to say that you maintained impartiality , don’t take it otherwise)
    just one question …
    Why do you think DILWALE can’t have highest 1st week ???

  • and plz stop calling dilwaale as varunwaale @sallu fans!!!

    dilwaale is a srk-varun double hero film like darr,karan arjun,k3g were.

  • It’s funny that Salman fans are having such high expectations from Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. That title itself is such a major turn off. Just because Hum Aapke Hain Kaun worked in 1994.. doesn’t mean a similar movie will work in today’s times.

    PRDP will be the lowest grosser amongst festive releases this year. Bajrangi Bhaijaan will easily collect more than PRDP.

  • Gabbar is back will be the first 100 crore grosser of the year.. And as far as first blockbuster is concerned,I will definitely go with bajrangi bhaijaan

  • Avengers will affect gabbar…..
    abcd2 will cross 100cr
    brothers will be akshay’s highest grosser of year
    prdp is riskiest movie of the year

  • @Phenom : There is no denying that all 3 Khans are biggest and their movies are expected to do huge with festival release. IMO, Rohit Shetty movies are kinda Farah Khan movies with added action sequences (blown cars n all) it may definitely get a good start but sustaining longer is not guaranteed. Same for BB (due to Masala genre) but PRDP will have a longer run due to Family genre. This is solely my opinion and I dont expect all to agree with it.

  • ROFL
    First time I m seeing a Category like costliest film ? hahaha b.t.w if u r giving ff7 a place here in all categories then y not in costliest film ??? Hai jvab ?

    • @Sunny Chechi, Fast and Furious should be treated like a overseas film. India theatrical rights was sold for a much lower price. To put it into perspective, the success of Fast and Furious 7 is bigger than a film like Aashiqui 2. And it was way more profitable than a film like Baby.

  • @ neeraj you underestimate prdp too much it is not similar to hahk, it is a different movies so you will be laugh at yourself after prdp the highest grosser of all time.

  • @Arjun (kid) FAN : Ask your idol who was the one who held his hand when even his own father abandoned him ??? Learn to respect the person who inspired and motivated your idol and helped him achieve which he could only dream of.

  • OMG dis shuldnt happen .. star of d year so far should be arjun kapoor… was expecting tever to cross 129 crores … i cant believe dis…youngistan is better than khans hrk akki emmi .. (somegunda saying to himself)
