Brothers Day 4 (Monday) Box Office Collections

Brothers has fared poorly at the box office on Monday, giving the film little or no chance of crossing the 100 crore mark – which was the least a film of this size should have collected.

The Akshay Kumar – Sidharth Malhotra starrer had to collect somewhere around 7-8 crore to give the film any chance at the box office, but early estimates suggest that the first Monday business will be around the 5.5 – 6 crore mark.

Since Brothers had to collect more than 130 crore to be a clean-hit at the box office, the Monday business has sealed the fate of the Karan Malhotra directed film. The 4-day collections of Brothers is at around the 58 crore mark and the film will end Week 1 with net box office collections of around 70-71 crore.

Abhishek Bachchan’s All Is Well and Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s Manjhi releases in theatres next week, both are small films that are not expected to take a huge initial but will rely on word-of-mouth publicity. It remains to be seen how well Brothers holds up in its 2nd weekend.

So what went wrong for Brothers? A section of the trade / industry has already put the blame on critics for thrashing the film and thereby creating negativity in the media. While that could be one of the many reasons why Brothers has failed to sustain at the box office (other reasons being lack of interest among the family audience, Akshay Kumar films consistently failing to take a decent initial at multiplexes, economics etc), the trade also needs to be reminded that most 100 crore plus grossers in Bollywood were also panned by the critics. Bang Bang, Bodyguard, Rowdy Rathore, Happy New Year, Housefull 2, Grand Masti, Ready, Son Of Sardaar.. the list of critically panned films that were successful at the box office is endless. The audience is smart enough to decide if a movie is worth a watch in theatre or not.

  • Exactly….people are very smart these days…critics can effects only 5 to 10 Cr on life time business max…and I am Salman fan bt i like akki…bt bcz of some stupid akkis fans here I awoid these movie..they always try to put others stars down….they r stupid

  • I watched Brothers today in the evening show,occupancy was around 20% and there were hardly any girls in the theatre! There were no couples in the theatre too which was really shocking to see!!

    Talking about the film,the first half was a tad slow but not at all boring,it was quite emotional too.Though I would say it was just about decent.
    2nd half was on another level,the R2F tournament and the fights and the superb climax were something to watch out.
    Akki was just brilliant as David Fernandez,right from the first scene,his first street fight,he’s too good!
    Even in the ring,I had Goosebumps watching his fights!!
    Sidharth and Jacky are decent,Sid’s character is loosely written giving him not enough room to perform.
    His first 2 fights are badly choreographed too.
    But still he makes a nice little brother.
    Overall,Brothers is very much a watchable film,it is a film that deserves to be seen on the big screen.
    I will give 3.25/5

  • Baby- 80cr.

    Gabbar- 80cr.

    Brothers- 80-85cr.

    The big question is can any akki movie can cross 100cr mark in future???

  • Critics panned HAK also which was a very good movie. Emraan gave best performance. Critics are essential but sometimes they goes wrong. The monday collection suggest that Wom is bad…where HAK done well throughout the weekend.

  • Baby 96cr Average
    Gabbar is back 86cr Semi hit
    Brothers 95cr Flop
    Singh is bling 90cr Average

    4 movies total 377crore

    Bajrangi Bhaijaan 319cr
    prem ratan dhan payo 400cr minimum

    total 719+cr

  • @Indicine.. very well said. If I don’t find the trailer and film appealing, it doesn’t matter whether the critics like it or not, I won’t watch it.

    I did watch Brothers.. it was good one time watch. First half was boring and over emotional. Second half was good.. but what I liked in the second half.. won’t be liked by girls and families.

    Like @thullu said.. when I watched the movie, there were hardly any girls in theatre…. I think Dharma marketed it badly.. should have promoted in a way that it would attract families and girls..

    I also noticed that Akshay didn’t have a lot of screen time like he has in his other movies…

  • Brothers is much better than Son of Sardar,Bodyguard,Housefull 2,Ready,Ek tha tiger,Dabangg 2,Singham Returns,Ek villain,Grand masti,Race 2,Jab tak hai jaan,Bang bang,Golmaal 3,Dhoom 3,Happy new year FOR ME!!

  • For everybody ,baby nd gabbar r far better films then brothers nd no doubt they are BT personally I liked brothers more then baby nd gabbar because I loved the character of Akshay nd his acting . something new nd
    For me Akshays acting comes first then the script nd all .
    BT dissapointed because everybody iz dissapointed with the film …! Too slow paced or too boring film ,whtvr u call it BT still close 2 MY heart ..!

    &
    Indicine BT WOM is also mostly negative na so that’s y it iz getting low day by day ..!otherwise with 53 weekend it would hve easily done 120 crs .
    Housefull 2 did 116 with 43 cr weekend nd rowdy did 135 with 48 Weekened ..both had Good WOM .

    It’s budget iz not 115 ,correct it . trade Expert komal nahta said its 100 in totality .

    Anywayx 90 lifetime maximum
    Really disheartening?
    BT it iz totally deserving .

  • There is abig defference in saying afilm is bad and saying no entertainment value.And people don’t care about critics when it comes to comedy.The genre was really an apealling people can watch WWE which is alitle pit more realistic for free.indicine please and initial of 36cr two days is not bad don’t blame only akki why not sid whose last film was superhit.

  • Seriously indicine 5.5crs is just very shocking!!
    Entertainment collected some 7crs on monday even though it was a very bad film in comparison to Brothers!!

    Something has gone too wrong with Brothers.It is crashing like Besharam,Himmatwala but it’s not at all crap like them.

  • Right now Akki is a ponouti for Bollywood….

    Baby was a very good movie but verdict- average.

    Gobar was also a nice movie but verdict- semi hit.

    Brothers has Sid (bigger star than akki) but verdict will be Flop.

  • some trades r blaming that critics spread negativity..but these r the same critics who praised n appreciated baby n holiday n gabbar.if a movie is boring or highly melodramatic then it must be dumped.even agneepath was melodramatic but was saved by good acting n songs n obviously sanjoy dutt n rishi kapoor.here jackie failed to deliver another sanjoy dutt.my verdict-below average.akshay was awesome.sid too decent moderately n jacqueline too decent

  • Buddhaji:
    Brothers is a gone case now, give it 3.25* or 5* but that’s won’t help it to become flop…..LOL.

  • if u will go with low expectations only then u will like it .
    Actually the trailer was really solid so everybody was expecting A fast faced Entertaining Movie on MMA nd due to high expectations , Ppl r not satisfied with the film. .FACT

  • I am really very sad for Akshay and Sidharth,they both worked really hard for this film.Akki lost 10kg of his weight while Sid had to gain 10kg and built such a physique in 4 months during which he remained underground,did no commercials or movie.
    Akshay completes his other movies in 40-50days,infact Baby was completed in some 30 odd days while only the ring portion of the film took 52 days to complete,both Akki and Sid got so many bruises and got hit to make the scenes look real.
    Sadly all this didn’t payed off!!

  • @indicine well done indicine. Once again you proved that how blindly you follow srk. You didn’t include the crappiest and most panned movies Ratoon.one, crappy old year and CE. How much biasness? Bodyguard and ready were still not as crap as Ra.one and Crappy old year.

  • Feel sad for Akshay and the whole Brothers team.. They did their best for the film.. but their best wasn’t good enough for the audience.

    I have a bad feeling about Shuddhi now.. Hrithik left it and then Salman also quit.. Such a big project on Varun’s shoulders that too directed by Karan Malhotra..

    Agneepath was also a bad film but was saved because of Hrithik’s star power, good songs and good trailer.. here everything failed.

  • No point replying to loons like @Tiger:the criminal They themselves know they are jokers and it’s their routine job,may be they even get paid for creating such nonsense!!

  • Buddhaji:
    you find brothers better than singham returns and race2. But see SR collected huge 140CR and brothers gonna not collect even 90cr. So, Ajay sir is much bigger star than Akki….. And race2 also collected over 100cr hence Saif is also bigger star than Akki..

  • With or without negativity a big film like bros shud hav done 80crs in 3 days if it was starring salman or aamir
    akki is a small actor he lacks stardom to kick away the negativity for atleast first 3 days

    i dnt blame the critiks

  • Buddha

    Working hard is one thing but working smart is different altogether. Sure joker boy works hard to greedily grab as many signing on fees as he can manage but smart business is to cut back on excess n take more pride in selling your product. Truth is Joker Boy had already moved onto Singh is Joker n today hes back to doing crappy sequel to Housefull most likely in order to skip Singh is Gobbar promotions…!

  • @babaji Entertaiment was very good film, it was just sandwitch between kick n SR still did 75cr n got highest TRP on tv n one of most loved n watched film. If Entertainment release instade of brothers then 150cr min karta
