  • everytime there u r ready for rubbishes. Ignore if, but, whether, or. See the result.not the internet poll or youtube likes but the real poll aka bo collection aka more footfall

  • @ All srk fan
    I can understand your mental situation please go
    any mental hospital
    because you need a mental doctor……

  • if any movie release with 10000 screen in india…then it will obious dat it will break ett collection widout ny objection….then it doesnt mean…dat it is best movie ever (like dabangg 2)…

  • srk fans reactions …

    2010:-

    mnik before release:- mnik will thrash 3 idiots and be the highest grosser ever…

    mnik after release:- mnik was an awesome film…but its genre was different so it didn’t beat 3 idiots…next year srk coming in action genre with don2 & raone…they “will surely beat 3 idiots!!!!

    2011:-

    before raone release:- raone will cross ready in first week itself and definitely beat bg & 3 idiots!!!!

    after raone release:- people dont understand srk’s emotions and acting in raone…who cares!! anyways don2 will surely beat bodyguard!!

    before don2 release:- don2 will surely rockk bolywood and cross bodyguard in 1st week 7 lifetime will be 250 crores!!!

    after don2 release:- don2 was an awesome action movie…indian people don’t understand action….still next year srk will be in his main genre “romance”…3 idiots “will” be definitely thrashed by srk’s romantic film!!!

    2012:-
    before jthj release:- jthj will be the best film…we think that it will be better than titanic( this was the biggest joke i had read!!) jthj lifetime will be 200+!!!

    after jthj release:- jthj was affected due to sos & its genre was not good so it didnt beat ready!!!!

    anyways srk next year coming with masala film it “will” definitely beat ready!!!!

    moral of the story:- for srk fans the word “will” remains constant as they always like to remain in past or think of future… they hate present!!!!

    so what are your excuses srk fans for srk film in 2013!!!?????

  • srk fans also like these words:- if , but , will etc…but they hate these sentences:- salman again breaks another record for non holiday release, salman’s film is atbb..etcetc!!!

  • Arey yaar friday ka din full working day tha aur thand bhi bahut thi isliye night mein collection thode affect huye but phir bhi record breaking opening that,s the power of king salman.

  • @indicine. It is an unfair comparison, its like comparing indian cricket team (dabaang 2) with the bangladeshi cricket team (jthj). An equal comparison is needed and the only competitor for SALMAN is sAlMaN himself, so ett vs dabaang 2 comparison will be more appropriate.

  • JTHJ total shows = 2500*4 (average 4 shows for 1 screen)
    =10000

    DABANGG 2 total shows=3500*6(average 6 shows for 1 screen)
    =21000

    bcoz runtime JTHJ=180 min
    runtime DABANGG 2 = 120 min

  • JTHJ :
    run time : 180 min
    with 2500 screens —if we count an average 4 shows for 1 screen bcoz runtime 180 min
    total shows of JTHJ= 2500 multiplied by 4= 10000
    Collections=19.5 cr.
    DABANGG 2 :
    runtime : 120 min
    with 3500 screens—-if we count an average 6 shows for 1 screen bcoz runtime 120 min
    total shows of DABANGG 2= 3500 multiplied by 6=21000
    collections : 19.5 cr.

    means with 11000 more screens , the earning of both the films are same
    i want to ask u , in what aspect salman is box-office king???
    now stop calling salman as box-office king
    results are infront of u

  • 19.5 crores is the ACTUAL collection of Dabanng-2 Day 1.

    It has not clearly crossed 20 crores. JTHJ has done very well despite Diwali day interruptions & SOS masala biggie competition.

    EID is the single best day of film release. Followed by 15th August. ETT & Dabanng took full advantage of it as SOLO releases.

    SRK needs to target EID 2013 with Chennai Express hoping its full on 2 hrs Masala movie.

    Dabanng-2 is clearly struggled to get to 20 crores on Day 1 when everyone predicted 24-25 crores on Day 1 despite working day because of the Brand Chulbul Pandey.

  • Indicine – truly unfair comparison, u have forgotten to mention ur so called laxmi puja or wt ever u call it on diwali – !!!!! anyways JTHJ AWESOME

  • @ Jeet

    Sallu has taken full advantage of & exploited EID day as SOLO release. SRK has not.

    EID is where the single best opening day figures are at. Public both masses & classes starved for major superstar release for last month. Dont matter how bakwaas the movie is (ETT), both will rush to catch it at EID day due to starvation.

    Hence, the best BO collection for day 1 as SOLO. Both Dabanng 2010 & ETT 2012 has that. 3-IDIOTS would’ve gone on to collect 270+ crores if released on EID instead of CHRISTMAS.

    SRK must target EID 2013 for CHENNAI EXPRESS. hopefully SOLO.

  • @Khan…
    i think the biggest mistake is made by i n d i c i n e itself…
    if u r publishing a comparison then first explain each terms briefly…

    now… how a movie with a run time of 180 mins is compared with a movie of 120 mins..
    second thing…the no. of screens are also different..
    indeed it’s an unfair comparison..

  • look guys both of them is good movies but jthj is released with sos for that thing jtjj can’t get a more money when we imagin if jthj relesed single with out of sos it will be a big atb of the year beacuse look this
    jthj boxoffice collectiom + sos boxoffice collection = 210 crore (only in india)
    beacuse of sos jthj cant make a recored…
