Munna Michael is the big release this week and it comes at a time when the industry is desperately in need of a box office hit. In recent times, no film has managed to generate interest amongst the audience. The first trailer of Mubarakan did not get a good response, Jab Harry Met Sejal doesn’t even have a trailer yet even though the film releases in less than 15 days from today and the buzz around Toilet Ek Prem Katha has also died down.
Excitement around films is missing in the post-Bahubali era, with most big films like Tubelight and Jagga Jasoos failing to excite the audience.
Munna Michael had a fairly good trailer, but the songs and promos that have followed have failed to sustain interest around the film – even though it releases at a time when the masses haven’t had any film that they’d like to watch in theatres, after the humongous success of ‘Bahubali 2: The Conclusion’.
Factors in favour of Munna Michael:
- The successful actor-director combo of Tiger and Sabbir Khan return with their third film. Their last two films, Heropanti and Baaghi, were successful at the box office.
- Tiger yet again is hoping to cash-in on his strength i.e action.
- Nawazuddin Siddiqui hasn’t been used well, but he still adds value to such films.
Factors against Munna Michael:
- Heropanti and Baaghi had terrific music, but the Munna Michael album hasn’t caught on.
- The trailer received a favourable response, but the rest of the campaign has been dull with the emphasis being more on dance and the love angle – more than action and the Tiger-Nawaz angle.
- The leading lady, Nidhhi Agerwal, hasn’t managed to make an impression so far.
IndicineFBO: We expect Munna Michael to collect Rs 8.2 crore on its opening day at the box office.

Wo to thik hai but why r u not updating Jagga collections @indicine ??
It is hurting Indicine seems?
Munna Micheal Prediction:
Day1: 8.8cr
Lifetime: 50cr (Final Lifetime Prediction on Sunday/Monday)
My Prediction 5.2cr
last 4 months has been disastrous for the industry. only 1 hit- Irrfans Hindi Medium. .!!
The way 2017 had begun – 4 100cr success in 1st quarter, v were expecting a record breaking great year bt nowv r starving for a clean hit.. still 2017 can make a comeback as flow of releases is strong
let’s hope for the best
Will JHMS trailer release tomorrow?
JHMS and TEPK so low?
That’s really sad.
SRK is really disappointing us- first with his scripts and now with marketing. :(
Wanna see him in a large scale movie with good content
How abt srkay in avatar 2 as a blue man
The factor about Nawazuddin Siddique is foolish he adds no value ?
It will do good if it reaches 8 cr. mark. Advance booking suggests more on 5-6 cr. range.
@Indicine
7 to 6.5 cr Opening day will be predicted by myself anything wrong
Jab Harry Met Sejal TRAILER Is Releasing Tomorrow
Let’s be fair – we are bored of seeing Tiger doing the same thing in every movie now – people get bored of seeing repetitive stuff these days much quicker as opposed to how it was in the 90s where SRK-SALMAN could do back to back romantic films while AKSHAY-AJAY could keep on doing action films. That’s why you need to try something new very early in your career like Ranbir did with Rocket Singh, Ranveer did with Ram Leela, Varun did with Badlapur and Sid did with Ek Villain.
Chalo theek hai kam se kam indicine ji ne fbo page update to kiya. But these predictions are not fully correct .
According to me :-
Munna M – 9.4cr (Buzz – 6)
Mubarkan – 7.8cr (Buzz – 4)
Indu Sarkar – 1.6cr (Buzz – 2)
JHMS – 18.5cr (Buzz – 7)
TEPK – 16.8cr (Buzz – 8)
Haseena – 2.8cr (Buzz – 3)
BKB – 1.3cr (Buzz – 2)
A Gentleman – 10.2cr (Buzz – 6)
Baadshaho – 11.7cr (Buzz – 6)
TPK …….more than 14 cr……Impossible…..14 crore ki opening to abhi tak dekhi bhi ni bechaare ne…..is baar to SRK bhi maaregaa to 14 cr is just impossible
Rustom with clash 14 crore .
bhai, 14 cr toh tumne bhi kabhi zindagi main nahi dekhay howay toh itna bada mooh kyon khol rahe ho..??
Chup chap bait ke 5 rupay ke samosay khao chatney ke saath.. khud bhi aukaat main raho phir doosron ko kaho
Don’t be jealous.. Mark This Comment
14 CRORE guaranteed
Save it somewhere if you have doubts and we will meet after release..
After Sachin : A Billion Dreams every film has been a box office failure . 8 weeks is a long period and in this period we have seen Raabta, Bank Chor, Tubelight, Mom, Guest Iin London and Jagga Jasoos . Munna Michael has the potential to be a success as people will be eagerly waiting to watch entertaining brand of cinema after Bahubali 2 . Tiger and Sabir Khan have a terrific record with each other . If MM opens 10 CR+ then it will be an excellent start . If everything goes well MM will be the Highest Grosser of TS beating Baaghi . Personally I am not excited to watch this film . Let’s hope the dry spell of flops ends with MM or Mubarakan . !!!!!!!!!!!!
JHMS.. WILL BE IN RANGE OF 23-25..
TRAILER WILL BE OUT TOMORROW..
#4THAUG JHMS
When he will start acting, just dancing & jumping all the time…
there are people who love cinema of different kind!! if it works for others why are you stressed let him dance and do some daring action. its good some people like that. its always good to have variety!
10cr+ is expected as for long period cenima hall is dried up.
Massala movie will do well in Single screen.
How much is it need to get HIT status
Lst yr indicine said baaghi music nt dng well…dis article states it had terrifyng music?
It is not looking interesting. DON want to learn dance then romances heroine whom hero also loves. Come on Bollywood, Have you seen sardaar G, Go watch Punjabi films even Pakistan films are now competing Bollywood in overseas. Actor in Law (Pakistani movie) was copied in Jolly LLB
TEPK has lost the buzz ……akshay fan ..dost feel consitpiation after listening such awful remark ……
JHMS opening day prediction is only 17 crore.indicine, have u lost your mind ? It is superstar SRK’s movie , not 2 Rs actor Salman’s movie which opened to just 21 crores solo.JHMS will definitely beat tubelight opening day collection.
Mark my words.. If jhms opens below 20 crore mark…. I will tear you apart by abuses…. Screenshot this
JHMS opening prediction by legend indicine is 17 cr lol !!!!!!!!!!
if I’m not wrong they had predicted 32 cr opening for tubelight after the trailer and buzz was 10 out of 10 not even 9 lol !!!!!!
dear indicine team, I can assure you JHMS will open above 20+ cr . I will not be surprised if JHMS collects 27 cr on its opening day like u predicted this figure for Tubelight !!!!!!!!
and u say we are not baised lol !!!!
Right ..well said
JHMS 17 cr seriously ????????!!!!!!!!
indicine sir rock.
they predict 32 cr for tubelight but here they predict 17 cr for JHMS !!!!!
don’t worry legend-cine I have taken every Screen shot from 17 cr opening to we put our money on TEPK collecting more, which should appeal towards a larger section of the audience… lol !!!!!!
i think it has same level of music of baaghi which was above average!
It will be a HIT with 60+ Collection!
Toilet ek prem Kath will work very will at the box office no matter how much the opening is but lifetime will surprise every one expectations feels very confident about it
when will the trailer of jab harry met sejal will be out
JHMS producers don’t have anything left to show in a trailer after the stupid mini-trials. Lol
@indicine — Do the strategy of releasing JAB HARRY MET SEJAL trailer 10 days before the release is good ???
Means 10 days or 2 weeks of bombastic promotion with trailer,energetic songs with punjabi superstar in it,promotion in television..may be some city tours or other ways of live promotional event in public and in online format (Which is going on I think) and supposedly many more promotional strategies…
Will this work….creating a hugee buzz just before the release and that buzz taking tge movie through ???
why you waste yout time , this site speard negativity for JHMS since day 1
Baadshaho buzz 5 are you nuts?
Tepk opening due to National holiday is very low.
@indicine, why buzz of TEPK decreased? I think they should have released the trailer 5 weeks before release and not 8_9 weeks before.
