#IndicineFBO goes wrong with Bombay Velvet

When it comes to predicting the first day collections of Bollywood movies released in 2015, #IndicineFBO predictions have always been accurate. But even when it comes to inaccurate predictions, the difference percentage wasn’t too high.

Unfortunately, with Bombay Velvet we didn’t even get close to getting it right. Our predictions were 45% higher than the first day collections of the film.

While there were fears of a disastrous opening, not a single trade source that we spoke to, expected the film to take a 5 crore opening. For a film released on 2600 screens, the screen average of Bombay Velvet is lower than a film like Shamitabh and Detective Byomkesh Bakshi!

Interestingly, only two predictions of major films have gone wrong this year and both featured Ranbir Kapoor.

  • Team Indicine: Its not your fault i believe ur predictions can never go wrong..
    You must have predicted somewhere close to 5.5 to 6 cores. But den you were not wanting to hurt Ranbir’s fan base by predicting so low..

    • @Fake, we wanted to go with 7 – 7.5 crore. But then decided to go with 9.5 crore because the official figures are a little on the higher side (which is why we got Roy wrong) and secondly, it was a 2600 screen release!

      But 5 crore range. No, not expected at all. Collections are shocking almost all over. This was meant to go wrong!

  • Wait for BB then again u will be wrong..
    Huge BlockBuster Cumin

    Sabka Badla lega Sallu.. Ranbir dnt wrry. Chhakkiaan n BakriiFans wll crying hard.. wait n watch

  • People r tired of such media created stars and there fake superficial films…..!!….

    They always do media manipulation… Affair rumours..,, fake link-up hype….

    During every movie he spread affair rumour.. Which bores audience…

    We should boycott fake bad cinema like dil dhadakne do to teach lesson to another cheap irritating actor Ranvver singh…..

    Actually these actors r useless n do not deserve place in btown due to cheapness….
    1) ranbir kapoor
    2) ranvver singh
    3) arjun kapor
    4) sid malhotra..
    5) katrina kaif..
    6) sonam kapoor…
    These 6 are just media created puppets………

  • There are cinema who r wannabe ,,, who pretend to be intelligent…. But in reality they r nothing but hollow……!!..

    Bombay velvet n dil dhadakne do is such cinema……!!……

    BV is biggest disaster of indian cinema history……

    And fake superficial dil dhadakne do will also follow same fate… Mark my words….

  • Making a not-so-mass-friendly film with 110 crores budget and average content is nothing, but a foolishness. Even multiplex audience will stay away due to the average reviews and negativity across Internet and social media.

  • Bombay velvet budget is 120cr……!!…

    Dil dhadakne do budget 85cr….!!…

    Both r superficial n fake cinema….!!…

    There is no place for Fake cinema….!…

    i bet … Bookmark this article…

    Dil dhadakne do will b bigger disaster than BV ……!

    No place for cheap actors like ranbir n ranvver…..

  • Ranbir’s upcoming movies r super strong
    jagga jasoos
    tamasha
    superhero film
    ae dil hai mushkil
    so there is a chance for him to get 4 superhits in a row
    so the game is not over
    #Bajrangi bhaijaan trailer on 21may#

  • Indicine you may be wrong next week when TWM returns releases.
    Kangana has great popularity nowadays and national award winning actress can surprise one and all. TWM return may well get a 10cr opening and may even become first 100cr grosser of 2015.

  • BV is Joker of 2015. Joker opening day was similar to BV. Life Time B.O. will be same. After Akshay Kumar now Ranbir Kapoor has also started contributing towards Swachh Box-Office Abhiyaan. Ranbir Kapoor will become Akshay Average Kumar of New Generation. SAD.

  • @indicine … This the starting. You are predicted dilwale as biggest grosser of 2015 but just wait and watch either bajarangi bhaijan or prdp will be the biggest grossers of the year.

  • In one article I said that Bombay velvet opening will surprise us look what happens…
    I thought it’s big budget movie… Will take atleast 10 cr opening but I never thought it’s come half of my prediction…

  • Every actor’s fans want his actor’s films to be hit while bhai fans want others actor film to be flop.

    @Indicine update the collection of gabbar is back yaar

  • Ranbir praised Salman the Criminal 2 days ago and see what magic happened! I’m really really happy. Now waiting for Bajrangi Khaijan and Lungiwaale to be disaster like Marigold and Billu. :)

  • @ultron ….

    All 4 will be biggest disasters…

    Jagga jasooos is nothin but a bad rom-com… It will be flop….

    Ae dil hai mushkil will be disaster… Becoz rk-anushka pair… And aunty aishwarya…..

    Tamasha will b flop… But somehow if it succeeds (low chances..) credit will be to deepika…..

  • Happy for my friend @ajinkya…
    he were said that Bombay velvet will turn out disaster… He was right
    @ajinkya agree with u dil dhadakne do will Turn out another disaster…
    I also feel that

  • But still hats off to Ranbir for releasing a 100crs+ budget film on a non holiday release date irrespective of the verdict!!
    RaOne would have been a huge disaster too had it released on a normal friday!

    I am not gonna make fun of Ranbir now as I don’t want to laugh on someone’s failure..Hope Ranbir will bounce back strongly with Tamasha!

  • look at this @arjun kapoor fan who gives baby, gabbar, tevar movie reviews on 1st day but he didn’t give still Bombay velvet review….
    I have doubt is he really youngistan fan
    Bcoz he watched akki 2 movies on first day but he didn’t watch rk 2 movies (Roy, bv) yet…

  • By looking at the first day collections i think it will finish with collections under 30 CR . It will be the biggest flop in Ranbir’s career and will beat Saawariya . This year has been the worst year for Box Office in a long time . I think BV will be out theatres in the next week . Tanu Weds Manu Returns is looking like a solid entertainer . Its trailer and songs have picked up well and after the success of Queen she has become extremely popular . Also it is a sequel and the first movie was also appreciated and was a success . So overall the month of May is very good for Box Office except BV . I don’t think TWMR will be flop unless it is extremely terrible and that looks tough . It is directed by Anand L. Rai who has given Tanu Weds Manu and Raanjhanaa .

  • yesterday our nipun says that why this star fans judge films by the collection…
    This is what the reason…
    @nipun who bash with @indicine just bcoz indicine gives rating 2/5 and our nipun say other critics gives better reviews for bv
    But when @indicine talk about kites disaster he change his colour and defending hrithik…. And look what he says kites got better review than bv…
    my problem is then why u bash with indicine
    @indicine is always right…
    and personally request to nipun and arjun kapoor fan go n watch bv n tell us ur review Don’t skip it…
