Rowdy Rathore vs Rustom: Box Office Collection Comparison

Rowdy Rathore is Akshay Kumar’s highest grosser to date and it remains the film to beat 4 years of its release. With Rustom having exceeded every pre-release expectations of every analyst, the day-wise comparison with Rowdy Rathore will generate the most interest in the next few days.

At the end of the first week, Rustom was leading by Rs 13.30 crore, due to the fact that the film had both national and partial holidays. But the trend of Rowdy Rathore seems to be slightly better – leading by a small margin on Tuesday, Wednesday and the gap has further widened on the 8th day (2nd Friday).

For Rustom to beat the lifetime total of Rowdy Rathore, it has to show big growth on Saturday (it’s looking like a 5.5 – 6 crore total as per earlier estimates) and achieve a 8.5 crore plus total on Sunday. That would take the 10-day business of the film close to the 110 crore mark.

After that, Rustom would need around 25 crore to become Akshay’s highest grosser. Difficult, but achievable because ‘A Flying Jatt’ is unlikely to appeal to the multiplex audience, so Rustom could perform reasonably well in its 3rd weekend too.

  • dude Rowdy was a solo rls while Rustom rlsd with a big clash… & Rowdy’s screen count was also bigger than Rustom….For me Rustom is lot lot better than rowdy… Akshay kumar is the BOSS now…150 achievable…lets see

  • Nothing is impossible….
    Baby, airlift what a movies…
    Crack will be huge but there will be a clash…. One more film will definitely come on independence day…
    May be srk-imtaz, ajay-remo, soty2….
    But clash is on…
    Waiting for raees vs kabil clash
    Padmavati looks boring …. Srk should definitely clash with this film…. Srk will win this time….
    I guarantee it robot2 will not release on diwali… Bcoz south industry announced release date after completion of film …

  • 100 cr grosser doesn’t make anyone a superstar. You need consistency for that. Akki was giving continuous flops since so many years.

  • If a Salman film would have been doing such business, it would be termed a flop. Because his standards are very high, 200 crore minimum is now expected from him. But for Akshay even a small hit like Rustom is considered a huge success.

  • Shahrukh is considered a superstar since he has been consistently giving hits throughout his career. Such consistency is lacking in Akki, once he stops doing such patriotic films like Rustom, he will be back in flop mode.

  • Versatile actor deserve highest grossing film of his life…
    Akki, ajay never gave atbb… Hope so they will… Shivaay, G4 will turnout highest grossing of ajay film this time… But for akki Crack or robot2…

  • After giving so many flop films this decade like Boss, OUTIMD, Entertainment, Brothers, K786, Joker, Thank You, Patiala House, Khatta Meetha, Action Replayy……
    Akki is giving some hits due to patriotic feeling and other stars support.

  • LAST YEAR at the time of AIRLIFT TRAILER I said
    AKKI should release max 3 films a year bcoz
    By doing too many films he was over exposing himself.
    And now this year he released 3 films & he is utilising the festival releases too.(Bcoz of content)
    AND RESULT is AIRLIFT- SUPERHIT,
    H3- HIT &
    BIGGEST ACHIEVEMENT is how RUSTOM(thriller movie) beats
    Hrithik-Gowariker’s magnum opus ‘Mohenjo Daro’.
    Now next year also release 3 movies.
    Jolly LLB-FEB.

    2.0-CHRISTMAS or on

  • How can u say such things bout akshay sir……first see what happened when the Khans did a non festive release and then see. Akshay sir does a lot for his fans even if he is not as famous. I challenge Sallu Bhai to be as loyal as Akshay sir

  • Whether it will cross RR or not Rustom is already a big winner than RR considering less number of screens, clash & genre. This is surprisingly a big achievement for Akki. If he continues to choose right scripts he will not be far to achieve a 200 crs grosser with a big festive/holiday release !!!!!!!!!!

  • For those guys who say akshay is better than srk just see this article. His highest grosser is 134 crore and dilwale which u guys call a flop collected 140 crore. So shut the f up

    • @Anonyomous, Footfalls there is absolutely no comparison. Rowdy Rathore would be 60-70% more than Rustom. Unfair comparison too, because Rowdy was a massy film. Average ticket price was very low, as compared to Rustom.

  • Unfair comparism. .. Rowdy Rathore was a mass and a universal appealing film with lot of axion mass music and a human story on the other hand Rustom is a niche movie catering for urban audience. For me Rustom has already delivered and surpass my expectations. Everything now further is a bonus. Didn’t SRK tryed a niche film with Fan with acclaim from critics and only TJB to compete with in the later second week! So people don’t take away anything from Rustom. Ryt! It deserves all sort of praises

  • @MAHI Hrithik Zero 200 movie (trade) one 150 plus ;but on diwali K3

    Recent MD 60 FLOP. I don’t know when was d last time akki movie flopped under 60!?

    @SRK ONLY single 200 cr(TRADE) movie that too on EID With brand director like rohit shetty who has given hits with even ajay,Abhishek ,arshad…

    recent Fan 85..even akshays Worst WOM movie brothers did 85 while fan being decent movie did similar collection. ( 4 stars by indicine)

    That shows the difference in Akshay & Hrithik, SRK NOW .

  • @Srkishan if dilwale would have done 140 on non festival than definitely it would hve been called HIT.

    TMK still known as a flop despite doing semi-hit business coz it was a big festival release just like dilwale…!

  • @Mahi,

    Yes, You are right…

    Your so called non actor can deal in 200 crores but, Akki likes to deal in Rs. 2000 Crores, 3000 Crores, 4000 Crores and so on…

    Feel the difference now, Baby…

    Looser…

  • but @SRKishan 7th highest of SRK Fan 85crs is lower than akki’s 7th highest GIB 87crs so it’s true that akki is better than SRK… ???

  • It was a story of the year 2007 (9 years ago).

    A Superstar of bollywood Akshay Kumar had
    delivered 4 back to back hits/superhits in a
    single year and made new heights (Which is still
    unachievable by any other actor in whole
    industry including new comers or 90 made stars)
    and that time, Trust me guys, everyone gone
    made…!!! The year we still remember and cannot
    be forgotten…

    Now, The history repeated again and after 9
    Years, In 2016…

    The superstar this time increased his bar and is
    making history of giving 3 back to back 100
    Crores films in a year and that too has not been
    done any actor in past…

    NOBODY CAN MAKE SUCH RECORDS IN A YEAR
    UNTIL HIS NAME IS AKSHAY KUMAR…

    Now, Come to the point…

    You know what is common in all these above…
    .
    .
    .
    .
    .
    .
    NUMBER 9…

    Let me make you all understand…

    1) The history is repeated after 9 YEARS
    (Number 9 is there).

    2) The history was made by him in 2007 so,
    2+0+0+7=9 (Number 9 is there).

    3) The history is repeating again in year 2016 so,
    2+0+1+6=9(Number 9 is there).

    And Please don’t get surprised anymore If I tell
    You that the SUPERSTAR’S BIRTHDAY falls on
    also the date and month of Number 9…
    ;)

    9th September (9/9)…
    Enjoy Akkians…

  • Comparing a star with anyother star is like a comparing urself with ambani, gates, or tata, they are also a human bieng.. they entertain us,, they are doing like thier proffesion.. Aur rahi baat rustom aur rowdy ki dono hit hai, rustom will stop in 120 or 130 deu to clash and even screen less, and so many movie release this friday like san75,happy bhag jayegi, unindian, again screen less….

  • 2 many haters here. I guess they are jealous of success since their favourite stars are struggling…ALL actors are having the worst phases of their careers except 4 Sallu and Akshay…from a to b srk to emraan to ranbir to ajay to hrithik… ALL are suffering…the only problem I have is with failure of hashmi as he is one of my top 3 actors….it is now only a wait and see 2 know whether amir is affected or not.. small stars like varun and ranvir not considered as their success is not due 2 them..
