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.

  • Bbudha did ok overseas (collected 2.75 cr in limited screens) and already recovered its cost (Rs 10cr.) from Indian markets alone by additional 11.5 crores within first weekend : According to Taran Adarsh…….Go check his website……Also BHTBaap was sold at 13.5 cr before its release making it already a profitable venture….Kudos to BIGB of having galls to release the movie infront of two giants (Amir khan production and Hollywood tsunami Transformer3) and still emerging out as a winner………No other so called star would ever dare to do that

  • thank goodness bhtp has recovered its cost .. it was looking very difficult to achieve this .. the collections reflect that 10 lac people of this country saw the film ..good achivement this ..overseas collection are even poorer but at least it has recovered the travelling cost!!!! ha ha ha
    this kkudaah is fit for the dustbin .. and bachchan sahb should now go the dilipkumar way and make way for his grandchildren..by doing such kkudaah he is hurting the sentiments of die hard fans like me.. after watching this film i realised that his desperation to give a hit is showing

  • bhtp a winner???? after making chanda like collections is this a winner?? ..when bollywood is talking of 100 crore above hits by megastarslike salman khan where does this place biig b?? who is also or rather was a star??!!!. if stars like bigb are making akki type films then i think he has lost his marbles which im sure at his age a lot many do

    relesing it alongside ak productions needs guts??? did he have an alternate .. had he released this weekend too murder2 would have murdered it ..i think chillar party too will give competion to it . it was such a pathetic movie

  • @megha,

    tell me a single star today who would release a movie infront of Aamir Khan production and a Hollywod Giant Transformer at the same time?????…Bbudah covered its cost within first weekend as screens were shared by DB (higher screens) and also Transformer (huge release in India)..And even now its rock steady during weekdays and doing great in its second weekend……Do not even compare Dilip to BIGB …..Dilip never gave any SOLO success in his second inning forget about the kind of fan following and success (both on TV and Cinema) Amitabh has at this age….Even interms of performances, imagining Dilip in roles like AANKHEIN, KHAKEE, KANK, VIRUDDHH, PAA, BLACK, MOHABBATEIN, KAANTE, BAGHBAAN, SARKAR, BUNTY AUR BAUBLI, THE LAST LEAR, CHEENI KUM and even BHTBaap, will be like making mockery of those roles…Dilip doesnt have galls to do the diversity of roles that BIGB did in his 60s…Do not forget that TV is bigger than cinema today…Amitabh is the only actor in the HISTORY OF INDIAN CINEMA to act in a SOLO movie and that too released infront of two giant movies…..Not to forget his KBC 5 and AARAKSHAN coming up….It looks like just like SRK, his fans also got Zor ka jhatka after his flop ratings in Panchvi fail and KBC3….As long as directors like Prakash Jha, RBalki, Rajkuamr santoshi, RGV, etc. keep taking BIGB in their movies and as long as people of the country want him in KBC series, he will keep working……..

  • @ megha

    Ohh and also I read that you said you are a die hard fan of bigb???…………..ahahahahhaha…..good joke………even if you hate bigb i don’t care (and any sane person can figure it out after reading your posts)…….no need to tell lie inorder to make yourself sound more intellectual…….what I have seen here is the bunch of SRK fanatics coming up with different IDs coming here to show their frustration and nothing else (especially after the Zor ka jhatka SRK gave them)

  • imnot getting impressed by bachchan saabs resume as i know it i have grown with it .. you neednt tell ..he has biographies writtten over him .. but this kind of bakwaas movie is not expected from shri padmshree.. a man is known by the last work he does .and bachchans last works have been all fascile..including this ..and we are not prepared to accept your logic that the film is rocksteady ..if anything it is rock bottom.. you neednt worry about its collections cos we all know it.. we know when we see a good product..what has srk to do with this kkkudaah.. if at all he might be mighty disgusted that a person whom he reveres so much is doing such nonsense.. people dont want to see him working in such garbage ventires ..and kbc is over for him at least from my side.. who wants to see the same thing over and over again???

  • and what is so scary about releasing film along with some other guy .. it is the production houses decision .. not the actors choice.. the production house may have believed that they have a more sellable product in hand than delhi belly .. unfortunately the reverse happened!!!

  • if Amitjine sanyas nahi liya hote to yes khan bandhu ka janm nahi hota. so amitji you continue work in Bollywood . so automatic will dispear khans. khan bandhu ko sirf gardenme nachane ka aata hee. dusara kuch nahii. sabse pahele to khna bandhu ko bolana nahi aata. sirf music per jee rahe hee.

  • @DEVENSH

    Well said bro……..but you see arguing with haters like megha will be just the waste of time……its usless to talk to people who dont even know who is BIGB…..hence my advice would be to just ignore her

    cheers

  • it seems big b is these peoples janam data .. big b ne inhe paal pos ke bada kiya hai thats why they cant read anything bad about him !!! whearas big b can bore us to death repeat his act swindle our money and we should keep quiet?? if his movie has flopped then it has flopped why deny the truth?? khan bandhu music pe jee rahe hai?? and big bs son ?? woh kispe jee raha hai sirf idea pe?? and his daughter in law?? sirf loreal pe???

  • megha ki beep ki beep..pagal ho gai bechari jab se indicine ne below average declare kiya hai.abhi kucchh dino baad badal ke above average ho jayega..

  • now im happy that the film has sunk and all because of me and people who rejected it.. we are great!!!

  • megha pagal , hai… MOVIE HIT HO CHUKI ALREADY COLLECTED TWICE OF INVESTMENT. MEGHA AUR KK PAAGLON AUR PAGAL HO JAAO…

  • TERE PAGAAL keh dene se i will not start your treatment!!!! similarly a flop picture will not attain hit status!!

  • THIS FILM WAS VERY POOR AND CHEAP. MUGE TO AESA LAG RAHA THA JESE AMITAB KO ACTING HI NAHI ATI. OYE SALOON MUSALMANO KO BURA KEHNE WALON JAB TM MARO GE TAB TUMHE PATA LAGE GA K HAQEQAT KYA HE. JAB TM LOGON KI DHULAI HO GI DOZAKH ME TAB TMARI AKAR NIKLE GI . . SALOON APNI MAA , BEHAN , BHABI K SATH JINSI TALUQAT RAKHNE WALON.

  • hindu shuru se hi narrow minded hain. aur ainda musalmano ko bura kehne ki koshish na karna. kyon k is se tm apna hi nuqsan karo ge.
