Buddha Hoga Tera Baap Box Office: A Disaster?

The pre-release curiosity was good and the film was all over the internet – it was trending on twitter, almost everyone seemed to have LOVED the film, the reviews were exceptionally good – but all this matters for very little or nothing – atleast that’s what the box office opening of Amitabh Bachchan’s Buddha Hoga Tera Baap has just proved.

The film has opened to dismal numbers, the opening was low (occupancy was less then 20% for the morning and afternoon show) and the film never really picked up. People from the trade were expecting this weekend to be the second best weekend of the year (after Ready) and unfortunately both Delhi Belly and Buddha Hoga Tera Baap combined are unlikely to beat the opening of Double Dhamaal!

We predicted (at worst) a 9 crore weekend for Buddha Hoga Tera Baap and sadly that figure might not be achieved during its entire first week at the box office as the film collected just Rs 1.1 crore on Friday! These numbers are sure to be heart-breaking for the Bachchan’s.

They will be hopeful though as the last film produced by AB Corp, Paa also opened similarly with Day 1 collections of around 2 crores. But the film picked up on Saturday and Sunday to end the weekend at approx 10.5 crores.

The word of mouth is good and we do hope that Buddha Hoga Tera Baap picks up like Paa did over the weekend. Follow us on Facebook or Twitter and we will keep you updated.

  • You people here, I don’t whats your opinion and don’t want to comment on your reviews, you got your own opinion, I would just advise you people to stop crapping here, do something to cut out that fucking hate between Muslim and Hindu… Remember how many innocent muslims died in blasts done by muslims itself…
    Don’t you think those people are getting finance just because we have that hate between us… If we become one, no more brothers and sisters from India and Pakistan will bear the consequences…
    Allah’s path, is the path of LOVE…

    From movie, politics to religion you people are failing, its a terrible evil, lets forget all difference…

    By the way, all these movies are working cool here in Mauritius, Sallu Bhai’s ready, Double Dhamaal, Delly Belly, Buddah Hoga Tera Baap…

    Its a pledge from a brother of you people from Mauritius. Spread Love…. :)

  • Bachchan ke liye aap log mere pe ye tomat laga rahe ho its a shame you are bringing it a issue of faith mind you this is wrong INDIA is mine as much as it is any body elses be it hindu christian budhist jain or any muslim we are all INDIAN!!!!!! There are black sheep in all mind you the politician supporting a dawood ibrahim are all or mostly hindu’s so quit the caste divide. JAI HIND

  • I don’t know why action is not taken against spreading hate on the net in the name of religion. What is the purpose of leaving an identity if irresponsible statements are not checked. Coming to movie “Bhudha Hoga Tera Baap,” there is no use arguing about its merits or demerits on the basis of box office collections. Any sensible person knows that no film worth the name has done decent collections in last over 20 years after 2nd week, literally meaning that despite the cheap gimmicks of the so called successful stars of recent past to promote/market their movies they don’t have in them the real thing that attracts viewers for months and years together the way Big B’s films used to do in his hey days. As regards acting skills India has not produced any star and seems unlikely in future also that can come reach the platform of Amitabh leave aside matching him in acting or grace in public life. Hat’s off to this wonderful actor and also the most graceful human to have graced the bollywood industry.

  • only for A.K ROY
    tumare actor ka film nai chal raha hai es liye tum amit jee ko balla burra keh rahe ho hare zara socho ek kahawat hai sau mare saupall na mare tum kia jano chootiye tum ne abi tak kia deka hai amitabh bachchan jaisa koi actor duniya mai nai hai amitabh bachchan is shehenshah of not bollywood but he is the shehenshah of all world ok you rough

  • FOR APARNA ONLY
    tum aik ladki ho tume aise baathen nai karni chaiye mai bi amitabh ka fan ho lehkin tum apna zaban sambalo you helly……………

  • Friends,

    BHTBaap already recovered its cost of production(10 CR) in the very first weekend from Indian and overseas market…From now on whatever it will collect will be a bonus..It is rock steady from Monday and will continue doing so this week and coming weekend…..I am pretty sure t will be superhit given its low cost of production(10 crores)……And yes not to forget that producers are already in profit before the release of film as it is sold for satellite rights in 13.5 crores……….No other so called star will ever dare to release his film against Amir khan production and Hollywood storm Transformer but BHTBaap will still emerge out as a winner in the long run…..YOU ROCK BIGB!!!!!

  • javed iam really sorry, meine socha nahi ye bastard’s
    bat ko aisa ghumadenge, mein bohut sarminda hu ki aise log ab bi jinda he ,jo log des ko alag dekte he un logonkeliye is desmein jaga nahi he

  • M.K.ROY is a dumb asshole.For him some junk comedy movie is a lengeray one .God only saves him.

  • everyone is stupid and fool to claim other in cyber cafe other he is calling boor . jise sab ne all word give mill. star. he is compare the little star i think so his house is very battle of Mahabharata.

    very low thinking

    he is compare hindo and Muslim and i know he is some Muslim to create India Pak.

  • It is so sad that few commenters are against of AB without knowing about him.Big B is the greatest actor of bollywood having a great personality and his unique voice.It`s a wonderful thing that he is still working in bollywood as a leading actor on this age~69.If we go into flashback he has given a nos of blockbuster hits in indian cinema and this process is still continue.He has sung a nos of song in hindi movies which are huge popular.Could anyone tell me any actor`s name who sung song and were superhit.His dialogue delivieris and narrations are awesome and still remebered to people.Few nos of people have jealous agaiinst him like MNS in Maharashtra but he never cared about that,because he knows dirty dogs always bark and King always win.
    AB has done every type of roles in Bollywood like action,romance,emotion,comedy and also did singing.
    Except of AB sir no one done so.I request plz don`t talk nuisance.If any one has complaint aginst him plz write it normally without using abussive language.
    AB sir do not care about these bloody bastard,we are always with you.
    God bless you .

  • @ roy
    abe chutiye ,gandu.tu jyada bakchodi mat kar nahi to itne jutee khayaga ki apane baap ki sakal me tujhe amitabh najar aayega tab bolna apane baap ko chutiya.

  • for the good of entire humanity i prayed that this film should flop and it has… now big b will not work anymore .. he has come to realize that his era is over and his place has been usurped by the likes of imran khan and company..
    it was such a trash film that mr clint eastwood was seen to have walked out of the movie theatre saying that this film was kkudaah..
    i wondwer why big b doesnt take lessons from the likes of clint bhai in what sort of movies to work and how to act and react..
    wonder when he will shave off his beard which he keeps for every role that he plays???
    for making such a rubbish and on top of that going around town claiming that it is a success he deserves a jjutaah.. from us.. thank you all

  • Excellent Meghaji- At least in fraud’s world I have found one person with moral and ethical value. Leave apart the business status of this garbage film; I have to say that at this stage this worst man portrays an anti social element for making money. Shame to this old mad man who should be kicked out by the fool indians like IIFA organizers…

  • not only is this film a blot on sanity it is afull fledged pr exercise for this old man to convey to the people that all is not over with him.. the south indian director has just let him loose to do all that he has done before act like a robot ham shamelessly repeat his dialogues of his old films sing in a flat one and dance in his ah too familar style.. his dancing of course was very subdued but look how everything was made to suit him ..hema malini was needlessly brought in so that he could give her ahug.. raveena s antics were put to show hoe even middle aged women were crazy about him not to forget the teenage girl who also is mighty impressed with the old man ..i pooh pooh to such unbashed display of self chauvinsm
    sonu sood is forever showing his fist and gun..and the track about his lady love and he father was so farfetched and childish no moronic that i felt like tearing my long tresses down
    mr bbuddah clearly hasnt seen the writing on the wall and still remains cocooned in his own stratosphere with his sycophants that he doesnt have areality check on whats happening around him.
    all his wellwishers have been congratulating him ..they are truly his enemies..the likes of pritish nandi and generally the media which he has bought over with his twittery
    the same story is going to be repeated in aarakshan im afraid…he truly has no idea of the collasal change in the taste of viewing public aroud him..but this time round delhi belly has torn his inner core ..i hope he retires soon and takes interest in household matters like care for his daughterin law who is expecting and say bye to movies forever

  • this movie shows that why he is mega star in the age of 69 i hv no words for big b.great return by raveena,good performance by charmi.but it was again big b why he is the “baap” .he proved it again & again that he was biggest entertainer in the industry.

  • @megha (hope you can come up with your real name and dont hide it like this looser AKRoy) ,

    your clint “bhai” or other bhai logs don’t have galls to release a movie infront of an Amir khan production (best in India right now) and a Hollywood tsunami like Transformer in the same weekend………Tell me any STAR-ACTOR who would try to take risk??……..

    What I am seeing here is that handful of people like AKROy and you coming up with different ids and showing your frsutration….BHTBaap already covered its cost of production in the first wekend by indian and overseas collections (10 cr.) and guesss what??………Its rock steady during weekends earning profits for the movie……..And I am not even including the satellite price of 14 cr. which already made movie in profits before any release……….At the age of 70 BIGB is the only SOLO- STAR in the history of Indian cinema who can stand infront of two tsunamis like AKP and TR3 and still come out as winner

  • one more thing to a couple of frustrated bigb haters.As long a people of this country would like to see BIGB in KBC series (unlike SRK’s flop shows on TV which is now considered bigger medium than cinema) and as long as directors like R BALKI, PRAKASH JHA, RAJKUMAR SANTOSHI etc..would like to cast him in their movies, BIGB will continue working.

    No matter if couple of SRK fanatics show their frustration (after their hero got slapped doing flop TV hosting trying to ape BIGB), BIGB is here to stay whether its TV or cinema and will continue doing challenging roles like no one in the history of Indian Cinema did in their 70s…..
