Box Office Verdicts: First Half 2013

The first half of 2013 was good for Bollywood as business saw a jump of around 10% from the same period last year. 87 films released between January and June, with total collections of around 1,225 crores.

While the first half of 2012 had major grossers like Hrithik Roshan’s Agneepath, Akshay Kumar’s Housefull 2 and Rowdy Rathore, the biggest grossers of the first half of 2013 were Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Race 2 and Aashiqui 2.

YJHD was expected to cross the 100 crore mark, but the Ranbir Kapoor starrer went on to create history by collecting a mind-boggling Rs 187 crore net (by far the highest for a non-holiday release).

The biggest surprise of the year was Aashiqui 2. Produced by Vishesh Films and T-Series at a budget of around 16 crore including print and marketing, the Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor starrer collected Rs 83 crore at the domestic box-office.

  • @hritiklover your Chennai Express prediction is wrong

    if 8aug is eid day

    1st day 35cr
    2nd day 32cr
    3rd day 22 cr
    4th day 26cr
    4 day collections 120cr
    7 day collections 150cr plus

    lifetime collections 180 cr if wom is average

    lifetime collections 200cr plus if wom is good

    plz stop praising hrithik, Krrish 3 wont collect more than Dhoom 3. Remember Krrish collections was lesser than Dhoom 2 in 2006, despite good storyline.

    Top 3 films of the year undoubtly
    1 Dhoom 3
    2 Krrish 3 or Chennai Express

  • @hrithiklover SRK is the king of overseas marker. Besharam colllections more than Chennai Express in overseas? CE will collect minimum $13 mm plus and Top 3 overseas..

    Overseas 2013

    1 Chennai Express
    2 Dhoom 3
    3 Krrish 3

  • @Romance Express the predictions were copied and just pasted from NG but i had modified some thats all nothing to do with other films i just care about my hrithik

    Even i will feel good or bad wheather CE collects 200Cr+ or 150Cr+ and also i wish Srk should get a ATBB

    See Dhoom 2 collected more than krrish thats because of hrithik and see for eg Besharam has less prediction before YJHD strom but here everything changed the prediction of besharam and making it to collect 130Cr+ despite any talk

    So thats the Aura of previous installment which makes other one higher even Aamir is enjoying that help from hrithik who had brought carze to dhoom in indian and international market

    Yrf had selected Aamir because of his Hits like Ghajini and 3Idiots otherwise Aamir in an Action flick other than dhoom 3 the prediction will be different

    So Hardwork will always pays off so if you see the videos in youtube krrish making and dhoom 3 making you will know who is keeping heart and soul for their respective characters

    In my Point of View Krrish 3 is much bigger than Dhoom 3 even in the words of Distributor CI Satishankar Jha
    ——————————————————————————————————————–

    Dhoom 3 and Krrish 3 both are Solo Release but Krrish 3 will beat Dhoom 3 for Sure . It has everything Drama, Emotion, Action, Romance, Songs, Dance and sci-fi plot .. Movie is for all age audience . – Satishankar Jha Distributor CI Via Boxofficeindia.com

    As this distributor only saying that how krrish 3 is bigger than dhoom 3 Where we are before them

  • @hriticlove d3 buzz is more than k3. D3 col less than k3 if d3 made in bad content which is impossible.

  • Indicine why you every time changing the collection amount of Race 2, earlier you were mentioned in your article that race 2 collected 93 crore then you mentioned race 2 in 100 crores film stating that it is collected 106 crore now you are mentioned again 93.

  • @Romance Expires i have shown the buzz of krrish 3 in prev topics but dhoom 3 buzz is less as i told you before one of the reputed distributor had given a statement about Krrish 3 and Dhoom 3 that is

    And also i didnt mention D3 will be made with bad content which is impossible and i know it will be an ATBB and collects more than250Cr+ but will not reach Krrish 3 for sure

    @Messy Aamir has more star power but hrithik has most star power you will witness it with movies overseas release and also hrithik will outsmarts Aamir in this genre as the common point of both was action we have seen Aamirs last action in Ghajini that also south indian style but hrithik always re defines his onscreen heroism with krrish dhoom2 Jodhaa akbar So when it comes to Action part he is miles ahead and the goodwill earned by Aamir due to 3 idiots was helping him till now and also dhoom franchisee nothimg more than that

  • 1000 Crores is surely on Card…..But according to me Biggies will do a Huge Bussiness

    CE – 125-130 Cr
    OUATIM 2 – 150-160Cr
    Krishh 3 – 175-180Cr
    Boss – 130-135Cr
    Dhoom 3 – 210-220Cr
    Besharam – 120-130Cr

    Around 900-950 Crs…..Buh i have a feeling that movies like Rambo Rajkumar,Phata Poster Nikla Hero,Bhaag Mikha Bhaag,Ramleela may strike big as well……!!
