This week, 2 new films are scheduled to release in theatres. Yash Raj Films’ Dum Laga Ke Haisha and Nana Patekar’s Ab Tak Chappan 2.
YRF’s Dum Laga Ke Haisha starring Ayushmann Khurrana will be the biggest release at multiplexes this week, but last week’s Badlapur is still going strong at the box office, so exhibitors are likely to give the film as many or more shows as compared to the YRF film.
The first Ab Tak Chappan did well, but the sequel hasn’t been promoted well and not many are even aware that the film is releasing in theatres tomorrow. Also, quite surprisingly, the film has a runtime of just 1 hour 45 minutes!
As part of #IndicineFBO, below is our final opening day prediction for all films that release this week.

#IndicineFBO is our attempt at predicting the opening day collections of film releases. In 2015, almost all our predictions have been accurate, except Roy.
@indicine ..
Mark word … Dum laga ke haish will open below 50 lakh ….
Ab tak chapan 30 lakh …
Also detective bakshi will open around 2-3 cr mark .. Not 5.5cr..
So 3 months have passed virtually as no film in march ..
And Fatso Arjun Kapor is the biggest flopstar of 2015 ..as he cause biggest loss to producer exhibitor..
No film to watch out for.. I haven’t watched any film of 2015 … Not even Average Badlapur n Above Average Baby …
2moro h as 5 intresting releases 1. Badmashiyaan (Youth friendly) 2. Lakhnavi Ishq (UP Nizaam friendly) 3. Hey Bro ( Mass friendly) 4. Ab tak chappan two ( Mumbai friendly) 5. Zor lga k Haisha ( Family friendly)……lets C wt cud b collected by all …my prediction 2, 1, 1.5, 2, 2 = 8.5 Crore for the day. B +ve
ayushman khurana is a good actor and dum laga ke haisha has lovely music
Not a single hit in first 3 months..
Baby is average… Badlapur ..Umm .. I Doubt.. BOI reporting crash on weekdays..
And also Eros have under-quoted its budget to save blushes for Bajrangi Bhaijaan …
I will not consider Badlapur a Hit if it does under 55cr …
So no Hit in 3 months of 2015 .. I haven’t watched any of these films..Thank God.. I think Early Tevar Disaster has set up the low tone..
Both of them wil break records
storm is coming
@Ajinkya
Mark my words dude that Main Gabbar will open 15-17 crore
@sahit hnywaale: Yes you go and watch Superhit Crappy new year..That best suites you..Both BABY and Badlapur are good films that you won’t be able to digest.
Dum lagaa ke haisha looks like a good movie.
but badlapur will lead once again this week’s box office.
My prediction for dum lagaa k haisha is 1 crore for opening day and lifetime around 10 crs.
Dum Lagaa Ke Haisha looks like a good movie but the problem it has not been promoted well . It was a wrong decision to prepone the movie . Ab Tak Chappan 2 also looks good but the trailer came out so late that nobody knows about the movie . Ab Tak Chappan is a Cult movie and has been appreciated by critics as well audiences . The first part was directed by Shimit Amin who later made Chak De India and Rocket Singh : Salesman of the year . This movie will be directed by Aejaz Gulab who was before an Action Director . I think the sequels should be made by the same director because most of the time the other director is not able to do Justice .
Sanjay Gadhvi – Dhoom and Dhoom 2 .
Vijay Krishna Acharya – Dhoom 3 .
Samir Karnik – Yamla Pagla Deewana .
Sachin Yardi – YPD 2 .
Priyadarshan – Hera Pheri .
Neeraj Vora – Phir Hera Pheri .
@ Indicine There is a slight mistake . NH10 has been postponed to 13th March because of Censorship problems . Hey Bro has also been postponed to 6th March . So both the movies have been postponed by One Week . Please do the correction .
@Saksham, thanks. Yes, we did tweet earlier today that ‘Hey Bro’ has been postponed by a week.
@chameleon kshitiz,u had rated hny 3.5/5 and today u r calling it a crap!!!
similarly u had called badlapur a disappointment bcz of climax and predicted it will do just hit business but today u r supporting the fllm so much
u r such a strange personality @kshitiz.I hv been following ur comments for last yrs but I m yet to understand u
@indicine in bo section u hv writtenthat badlapur has collected 35.5cr so far but all other sources r saying that it has so far done 33cr.so plz clarify wat is actual and wat is fake?
I m asking this despite being a huge varun dhawan supporter
I didn’t know that Aab Tak Chappan 2 is releasing today. why didn’t they promote the movie?
I’m really surprised. the first one was great and I loved it. hope this one does well.
@Arjun Kapoor Fan: Firstly I rated hny 3.25 and yes it deserved it coz i watched it with literally no expectations,neither i was expecting any masterpiece from farah..so i enjoyed it as it was a nice entertainer..
And the reason why I gave 3.5 to BABY was coz i had huge expectations from it,same with badlapur..”Disapppointing was only the climax and public reactions which i saw in the theatre where i watched” ..And yes Badlapur is’nt holding up that well..It won’t get past the HIT verdict i think.
But if an idiot SRK fan like @sahir says that he did’nt watched BABY and Badlapur coz they are not hits acc. to him,then I am free to bash him coz of his stupid statement which you won’t coz you don’t have dare to face aamir and srk fans,you can only fight with akki,emmi fans..
@ArjunKapoorFan I have been following this site for a long time and I still don’t understand You!!!Nobody does!!!
Any movie of Nana Pathekar is one that will not want u to even miss a single minute. That’s how dominant Nana is…a real power pack talent.
Irfan khan just compliments wit Nana…many things in common except physique and face(due respect to Nana Sir).
Will watch it online if free weekends. I predict 1.75crores above 4 poor promotion tactics
