Gabbar Is Back has collected around Rs 13 crore on its opening day at the box office, as per early estimates based on collections from a few centres. The Akshay Kumar starrer opened well in the morning at single-screens, but multiplexes were off to a slow start.
The film did pick up at multiplexes in the evening, but overall, considering the fact that Friday was a holiday in many states across the country, Gabbar Is Back should have collected around 15-20% more than it did.
Since most films that perform well at single-screens tend to show drops on Saturday, it remains to be seen how well the film holds up today. Business at multiplexes, especially in circuits like Delhi/UP, Mysore, West Bengal, will have to pick up tomorrow for the film to hold on to the same level of business.
Check out the Top 10 Highest First Day Collections of films released in 2015:
- Gabbar Is Back – 13 crore (approx)
- Fast and Furious 7 – 12.38 crore
- Avengers – 10.98 crore
- Roy – 10.41 crore
- Baby – 9.3 crore
- Badlapur – 7.2 crore
- Tevar – 7.05 crore
- Ek Paheli Leela – 5.3 crore
- Mr X – 4.5 crore
- Detective Byomkesh Bakshi - 4.2 crore
Flop. less than jai ho.

Film is being liked by most so hope it shows positive trending..
Imdb rating :: 8.8/10 which is too good considering a masala film.
He might be a average to good actor but when it comes to box office he is way behind then hrithik,forget about khans they are just unmatchable
Oops.. I expected 15 Cr
Hollywood – 2
Bollywood – 0,
Its a one time watch. a full timepass.
nice movie ….don’t find logic always in every movie…but entertainment was perfect…3 out of 5 for gabbar is back
May 1 release helped gobar otherwise day1 below roy.
Now i think day2-12 and day3-15
weeknd-40
week1-55
week2-18
lifetme-78-82
Gobar is average.
Not interestd in critic reviews but raja sen say that “stay 50km away from gobar” its funny
as i predicted it collected 13 little bit underperformed considering holidays movie is liked by the audience i am going to watch tomorrow hope it will be hit but 100cr is looking tough considering its masala genre and so negative reviews
Ohh God!! Who cares for those pseudo intellectual critics, @nipun
That idiot raja sen gave 3 stars to Action jackson.
Btw,Subhash k jha has given 4 stars to Gabbar(highest)
GABBAR IS BACK short review
thumbs up
1 a novel idea of a person using the name of the most feared villain of our cinema alongwith student power to eliminate corruption from our society by killing a highly or most corrupt person of a department.
2 akshay’s earnest performance as aditya/gabbar
3 scenes of gabbar army performing the act of eliminating corruption are enjoyable but lack realism
4 the superb climax is actually the saving grace of the otherwise boring 2nd half
thumbs down
1 silly screenplay ruins the novel idea completely and makes the film under achieve to a large exrent
2 pathetic performance by the villain.a nawaz or prakash raj in that role would hv been perfect
3 irritating and meaningless romantic track between akki and single expression giving shruti
4 the akki kareena flashback track needed to b top class as that incident in adityas life turned him into gabbar but unfortunately that was also poorly presented
5 bad outdated action
6 below average music
7 ordinary direction by krish
8 ordinary production value
rating-5/10
verdict-below average despite a good concept
bo prediction-even though I didn’t like it but audience reaction in the theatre was gd plus opening is also fare.so I blv it will b a hit but not more than that as every section of audience won’t find it gd
extraordinary opening by akki standard.waiting for season of gd films to begin with piku
Atleast it is the highest first day collection for a film in 2015.
“This movie ruined my birthday”..One of my friend who watched the movie tonight said to me that and he was very angry.
Indicine reviews r much better and believable but slightly exaggeneratd
Indicine its party time for u guys again&again ur predictions r spot on!
But wait for the surprise Bv
I love this guy i think he deserved the place rigth after khans but now he is too much away from hrithik as well from this first day result he moves to no 6 position and ranbir is now clear no 5..plzzz akki rethink urr strategies to get back in top 5
Those idiots who r saying Akshay is is behind then hrithik Are The most Idiotic PPls Which have no sense how a fold runs ! they just see that hrithiks.krish has done 175+ collection bt they don’t see how the film has done the collection !
festival release + 3rd part + high budget + More screens .
Audiences r going in large numbers to watch gabbar in single screens bt the price rate r cheap There ! same occupancy Multiplex m hoti toh Film non HOLIday pe 20+ krti !!
wo v 4 film krne k baad 1 saal m nd hrithik does only 1 film !!! .
I know some others sites r calling it holidy so our indicine is also copying it dat its a HOLIday release ! waow bt The most sensible Ppls like Komal Nahta Haven’t Said Anything dat bcos of Holiday it will get benefit bcos there is nothing like holiday except in Maharashtra where a popular film like time pass 2 is releasing with Housefull opening .
Indicine is just try to prove his prediction right ! just wait for taran Adarsh nd Producers figures for tomorrow .
@babaji: Subhash K Jha’s reviews suck and so do Raja Sen’s review. .the other 4 are balanced mostly, although not always
waiting for BOMBAY VELVET
first day first show!
Edited by Thelma Schoonmaker (GOODFELLAS, RAGING BULL, THE DEPARTED, GANGS OF NEW YORK)
She is going to shred BOMBAY VELVET into its size literally. 2 hrs of pure magic is what I am expecting from KASHYUP-SCHOONMAKER combo.
never follow masand or anupama chopra for a commcercial film. these people only watch arthouse film.
Wow! To match your prediction saying wrong earnings.Shame!
Holiday had average opening and first day was12.5.Gabbar had great opening in single screen and good in mplx stil 13 cr.Kya baat hai.Prediction sahi dikhane ke liye kuch vi.Aur baaki filmo ka collection agle din 2 baje ke baad Koimoi.com ya taran adarsh ka dekh ke batate ho. Aaj rato raat kya ho gaya.
its flop is back
Every one forget its an ipl period.2 matches played yesterday so collection dropped in noon and night.akshays script selection and acting ability increased far.at the time of retirement he consider the legendry star like rajesh khanna and amitaph.current trends indicate that,now he slightly behind hro and ranbir.after 2 years akshay consider top star in india,all chance to give neck to neck competition with khans.gabbar collect atleast 120 crore,because word of mouth os awesome.
Boi said that may 1 is a holiday and indicine say it partial holiday.
Holidays only in
maharastra-were regional relise give strong competition.
Other holiday states are tn,kerala,wb,karnataka,ap.these states are non hindi regions,were hindi filims do less collection.the regions like
Delhi,up,punjab,bihar,mp have non holiday on may 1.these are the favarable circuit for bollywood.
Conclusion-may 1 partiall holiday in india,non holiday for bollywood.
Who is a better brand ? Patil or gabbar ! If you have the answer then this one is for you ! Otherwise tune into cartoon network , much better than this nonsense and illogical drama ! But After baby( so far the best movie of 2015) again akshay kumar delivers a good act . Only his honest act can save this ! Hope he will
