PRDP should have done better than Bajrangi Bhaijaan: Salman Khan

Salman Khan has said, his Diwali 2015 release ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’, which marked his reunion with director Sooraj Barjatya, should have performed better than the biggest grosser of his career ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’.

Hinting that he probably expected the film to perform better than it did, Salman said he wished Sooraj got more happiness from PRDP.

“Sooraj should have got more happiness from ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’. I think it should have done better than ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ for Sooraj because he worked really hard. It was a beautiful story of a brother-sister” Salman said on the sidelines of the Zee Cine Awards.

Released in November last year, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo collected Rs 210 crore at the domestic box office. His Eid release, Bajrangi Bhaijaan went on to be the second highest grosser of all time, amassing Rs 321 crore from India alone.

PRDP also featured Sonam Kapoor, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Swara Bhaskar. It was Sooraj and Salman’s first film in 16 years and their 4th film together after Maine Pyaar Kiya, Hum Aapke Hain Kaun and Hum Saath Saath Hain.

  • Salman is a blockbuster king…
    He is fantastic n fabulous..

    He will b back with sultan..

    Sultan will be a cult blockbuster.

  • Salman Khan’s name is enough to for 200cr business of a film.. Rest of the things not matter much…

    Just can’t wait films like Sultan, Azhar, Raaz 4 to strike gold at box office..

    All d best sallu bhai….

  • Content wise BB was great and PRDP very ordinary. So how can then PRDP do better than BB? Salman can give only a great start, rest depends upon the content.

  • Salman is doing content oriented films like Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Sultan. while Srk is doing craps like CE, HNY, Dilwale, Raees and Fan.

  • Sultan will b a classic blockbuster biopic of sultan Ali Khan.. Biopics like Sultan , Azharuddin biopic and Dangal are going to rock big time …

    Also waiting for..

    Sultan
    Raees..
    Azhar
    Raaz -4
    Dangal ..
    Mohenjodaro
    Rustam

  • both are medicore movies….bb was benefited by its concept…..n BB was weekend wonder due to salman n diwali festival

  • IF PRDP WOULD HAVE STARRED ANY OTHER ACTOR IT WOULDN’T HAVE CROSSED 150 crs. ONLY SALMAN KHAN CAN BRING AUDIENCES TO WATCH A MOVIE TITLED PREM RATAN DHAN PAYO

  • yes but prdp wasn’t a movie like maine pyar kiya. performence of other artists and some boring scenes are reasons for prdp’s underperformence and script wasn’t good then bajrangi so why you are worrying for sooraj. just ask him for better script and both of you can give another mpk or hahk.

  • BB 321cr
    PRDP 213cr
    Combine 2 movies domestic collection, 534cr
    Combine 2 movies worldwide collection, 1000cr+

  • If it would have crossed Bajrangi’s collection then i would have stopped watching hindi cinema..PRDP deserved to cross Jai Ho by 50 lacs..i found Jai Ho crapier..

  • Shame on u
    Diwali festival
    Open weeks
    Big director
    Mega budget
    Still failed to cross 200 cr trade figures. U call him way bigger superstar then any superstar. .That’s a joke by indicine nd his fans .

  • Other Actors :
    Srkay – Dudhwale have been performed better than Dabangg Forget Prdp,BB

    Akkii – Airlift have only 25 crs sort to crossed Dabangg :(

    Hritik – i shall do more manipulation for Monhe Jo Daro to cross prdp

  • Indirectly he is trying to say that prdp has better story than BB…..
    It shows that how he use his mind while reading script….
    No offence but I think he got Bajrangi Bhaijaan by mistake. He deserve a movie like prdp, Veer,Jai ho..

  • yes prdp takes long hard work. But diwali is unlucky for salman. Prdp lost its way because of its length & too many songs. Sharp editing would make it a better film. No problem. It has done 399worldwide in salman’s unlucky period. After the negative wordof mouth spreading after four days,people decided not to watch the film at all. So if there was clash,these people would watch that film. Indicine said that prdp is running in those places where if tamasha released four days after prdp,it would not lose much.even in clash prdp would do 160cr from singe screens.srk who has not delivered a 250cr domestic in india or 450 in worldwide is the biggest?what a joke.yes srk is the most consistent overseas actor.but ak has created overseas 200 ,300club &delivered 700worldwide or in 340+india & salman has given a thousand crore worldwide in a single year average 500+but srk has yet not given a 450 grosser forget 500,600.by the way the best entertainer film national awards are won by hahk & dabangg one. Salman is awarded rajiv gandhi award by the govt of india. Salman publicly said to filmfare & also zee cine award to give award to ranveer.so zee cine gave jointly for jury best actor & gave salman best actor popular/viewers choice.while some days ago srk is given the best actor popular award for dilwale?wow…was dilwale that popular?or has srk made dilwale a great popular film?if srk gets this for dilwale,why not salman for bajrangi bhaijaan?highest grosser of the year is more important because a mighty khan like ak or srk if releases one films in two years or three films in four/five year,he will attain most number of times the all time highest grosser. But highest grosser of year is that film which beats all other films of that years under equal conditions. All time highest grosser means the biz is changed by a film. But it also suggest that chennai express is as big as hahk o three idiots. on other hand bajrangi bhaijaan may not be a all time highest grosser but is many times better grosser than chennai express.

  • Bhai you should be happy that the movie came on Diwali and got a 4 day extended weekend. Else, it would have struggled to cross the 100 cr mark too just like your 2014 Republic Day classic Jai Ho ???.

  • Well if PRDP wasn’t as bad as it was it could have done better. But seriously, this film was such a piece of crap that Barjatya should be happy it wasn’t a flop. Without Salman’s stardom, it wouldn’t have crossed 100 cr !!

  • prdp is past now.he shd concentrate on sultan now n try it to make bigger success than bajrangi bhaijaan.wish u good luck.

  • He is very lucky bus that he hasn’t faced any clash since 2010 …
    I am very happy that his movie will face clash in future ..

  • Honestly PRDP was a crap and absolutely pathetic with no entertainment value . Those people are saying PRDP could not do 250+ because people are not fond of Family Drama anymore this is not completely true . I agree in 80’s and 90’s Family Drama was the most famous and popular genre . PRDP releasing on Diwali, Salman-Sooraj Combo, Solo release, grand scale and the thunderous response to BB it should have done 250+ . Most of the Salman fans were predicting huge numbers from PRDP and the result was ordinary . Sooraj Barjatya has lost his touch and now I feel he should produce content oriented movies . I don’t see him directing another family drama . PRDP, Kick and HNY would have badly struggled without festival dates .

  • Of course not Salman BHAI.I’m a huge fan of yours,but Prem Ratan Dhan Payo was a frustrating watch.Bajrangi Bhaijaan is one of your best films,so please don’t insult your best work by comparing it with PRDP. That it earned 210 crores is thanks to your Superstar power,but by no means was it a good film.But still,eagerly waiting for SULTAN!
