Small Hindi films against big Hollywood release this week

As many as 5 Hindi films are scheduled to release this week – Junooniyat, Raman Raghav 2.0, 7 Hours To Go, Shorgul and A Scandall. None of these films are expected to get a initial.

Vivek Agnihotri’s Junooniyat and Anurag Kashyap’s Raman Raghav 2.0 are the bigger films, but the business of both films combined is unlikely to cross the 4 crore mark.

Expected First Day Box Office Collections of this week’s releases (these are not predictions, we do not post official IndicineFBO for films that are expected to collect less than 2.5 crore):

  • Junooniyat – 1.25 crore
  • Raman Raghav 2.0 – 1.5 crore
  • Shorgul, 7 Hours To Go and A Scandall - Few lakhs (should be less than 0.5 crore)

We also have the Hollywood film ‘Independence Day: Resurgence’, which is not only expected to take a good start, but also beat the combined business of all Hindi releases.

‘Independence Day: Resurgence’ is releasing in English (2D, 3D, IMAX) and Hindi (2D, 3D). The show allocation at multiplexes is the highest for the Hollywood film this week, followed by Raman Raghav 2.0 and Junooniyat.

Last week’s release Udta Punjab will be the biggest competitor for Anurag’s own film (directorial, this week) Raman Raghav 2.0. The trend hasn’t exactly been excellent for Udta Punjab, so it remains to be seen how well the film holds on its 2nd Friday. It’ll cross the 50 crore mark this weekend.

Housefull 3 collections were down to very low levels this week. The film will finish with 108-109 crore of business.

The first quarter of the year started on a promising note, but the second half has been disappointing with big films like FAN and Housefull 3 under performing.

All this while the trade awaits the boss.

  • Raman Raghav kinda movies can’t do much due to their limited appeals. And Audience shouldn’t be blamed for avoiding such movies either because everyone can’t enjoy such movies.
    Although I love watching offbeat movies like Lootera,Udaan,Filmistaan,Haider etc,there are still some movies which have made me sleep. One such example is Detective Byomkesh Bakshi! I literally slept while watching the movie. But I loved the same director’s Shanghai very much.

    But the worse feeling is watching a headache-inducing movie (ex. Housefull3, Action Jackson etc). In such movies, every element of them,be it characters or dialogues make me cringe!

    It’s really a great experience to watch a combo of quality and Entertainment in theatre. PK is an example of such movies!

    I am really dying to watch MohenjoDaro. After all, it will be a great experience to watch the beautiful status, Sharman’s adventurous journey, Beautifully choreographed tracks ,the crocodile scene, realistic fighting scenes in theatre!
    it will be a visual treat!

  • last line of the article i.e. housefull 3 underperformed
    and akki fans are like he has collected another 100 crore thats great

  • Boss of box-office is coming on Eid to create records.

    SULTAN will be SULTAN of box-office.

  • Why do these film makers make these films when they are not expected to take any initials? Are they nuts?
    Any answer, Indicine???

  • Inpependence Day 2 without Will Smith am sorry not interested at all,i guess i will wait for Sultan now unless these other films have really good WOM.

  • While some make say Yes Boss, and some other may act Boss, the original and real Boss is Sultan…

  • its not fair to put fan and hf3 in the same category as the later film is clean hit even though it underperformed.but fan which was expected to do 150 bare mimimum bundled up within 85.most importantly hf3 is a clean hit while fan was an outright flop.

  • “All tis while the trade awaits the Boss”
