Happy New Year vs Dhoom 3 vs Kick vs Bang Bang: 2 Days Box office

Happy New Year has collected Rs 78 crore in its first 2 days at the box office, which is by far the biggest total for any film ever released. Shahrukh Khan now has two films in the Top 5, as his last release Chennai Express also averaged more than 30 crore in 2 days.

Dhoom 3’s record looked out of reach when it went on a record-breaking spree last year, but Happy New Year has comprehensively beaten the film in its first 2 days.

On Sunday, business of Happy New Year has picked up all over giving the film a good chance of not only crossing the 100 crore mark in 3 days, but also to challenge the lifetime business of Dhoom 3. For that, the SRK starrer has to sustain well Monday onwards.

Kick, Singham Returns and Bang Bang collected Rs 53.67 cr, Rs 53.14 cr and Rs 51.62 cr respectively.

We have compared 10 films from 2013 and 2014 in the table below.

Note: The 2nd day collections of Happy New Year are our figures. Yash Raj Films or Red Chillies Entertainment are yet to officially announce Saturday collections.

  • @indicine hw cn hny 2nd day b 33cr?I followed adv booking in bookmyshow and it was only slightly less than 1st day collection.also today morning u said 2nd collection 38cr and even ur estimate was 36cr so hw cm u r saying nw just 33cr!plz don’t fudge figures

  • Ok, it is obvious that YRF and Red Chilles is worried about posting the actual figures for Day 2 because they know it has substantially dropped to 28 crore (confirmed by many distributors as well as Box Office India). BOI has posted 2 day total to be 68 crore, whereas YRF has said 2 day total is 81 crore. When will production houses stop inflating figures just to earn respect? #Shame

  • HNY will go Singham Returns way for Sure…. Difficult to break CE, forgot Kick, K3, D3….

    Bang Bang deserves much higher collections…. Bt no problem… HR Has won Hearts if not BO…

    Nly PK Can break DHOOM 3 Record..

  • Difference between official & BOI figures-

    Dhoom3 – 277crs(262crs)-15crs
    Kick – 232crs(215crs)-17crs

    HNY – 77crs(68crs)-11crs difference in just 2 days…it may vary when official figures out.

    HNY going in K3 way.

    Manipulation Zindabaad.

  • Dhoom 3 sustained on 2nd day inspite of a huge first day. Then why did HNY had a fall of more than 25% on second day? Because WOM is poor.
    Lets not forget, Dhoom 3 had 6 back to back 20+ crore days, a record, which HNY will not beat due to poor WOM.

  • Saw Happy New Year today. Overall an amateurish average film.

    Positives –
    Visually stunning camera work.
    Abhishek Bachchan – Surprised? Nandu Bhide Dimaag Mein Kide Now You Watch Me Speaking English. LOL. He makes you laugh everytime he’s on screen. Look out for the scene when he tries to unlock a nut (best scene in the movie).
    Deepika’s acting and dance.
    Music – Good, could have been better.
    Few really hilarious scenes.
    Climax Dance Performance.
    Abram Khan (credit scene).

    Negatives –
    Farah Khan’s stupid direction.
    SRK looked old throughout the film.
    Zero chemistry between SRK and Deepika.
    Average acting by SRK, Boman Irani, Sonu Sood and Vivan Shah.
    Plot – Mashup version of Players, Dhoom 3 and Bang Bang
    Film is so predictable that you can easily predict whats gonna happen in the next minute.
    SRK’s old recycled cringe-worthy dialogues – “Badi Badi Fights Mein Aisi Choti Choti Maar Toh Lagti Rehti Hai”, “60 minute Hai Tumhare Paas”, “Naam Toh Suna Hoga”, “Picture Abhi Baaki Hai Mere Dost”.
    Idiotic cameos by Vishal Dadlani and Anurag Kashyap.
    Bad Editing – 3 hrs runtime
    Too much of ‘abs’ show. Srk and Sonu Sood kept flaunting their abs for 180 minutes.
    Unecessary Roof Top Fighting scene in Dubai.
    Too much of brand promotion.
    Fun on Saroj Khan and Narendra Modi.
    What was Sajid Khan doing in the film :|

    Where’s the logic? –>
    1. There’s a scene where Srk and Boman robs diamonds. Timer shows 2 mins left for locker door to close. But here Farah Khan prefers bekaar ka emotional drama over logic and door locks after 5 mins instead of 2 mins. Even Srk fans got frustrated while watching this scene and started passing comments.
    2. Most of the movie is shot in Dubai’s 5 star Hotel Atlantis (Palm Islands). There are 1,539 rooms in that hotel but no CCTV cameras inside lifts and passages.
    3. Vivan Shah hacks DJ’s music system, cameras, highly secured bank locker, laser beam and every possible electronic device present just by pressing ENTER on his ‘Lenovo’ laptop.

    Final Word: HNY is not as bad as SRK’s Ra.One, Don 2, Jab Tak Hai Jaan and Chennai Express. Can be watched once.
    Rating: 2.5*/5*

  • definately hny will cross 100 crore in first weekend with help of manipulation dnt know when salman will learn how to manipulation if he learn 300 crore will come very easily in first two weeks.

  • BOI figure is 28 crore. Producer figure is still 5 crore ahead. Seems SRK and team are manipulating hard to try to break records.

  • @tejan r u the same guy who gave 4 star review to kick and sr in addatoday?u r a big srk hater.a film like hny doesn’t need a review from u to certify its quality

  • Comment and attention seeker indicine.
    thats why post a mislead 2nd day actual.
    Every other page it is showing 37-38cr net for the 2nd Day.

  • Dhoom 3 weekend:-
    Friday- working day
    Saturday- working day
    Sunday- HOLIDAY

    HNY weekend:-
    Friday- HOLIDAY (festival)
    Saturday- HOLIDAY
    Sunday- HOLIDAY

    Still Dhoom 3 weekend is difficult to break for HNY, inspite of 3 holidays and 5000 screens.
