The highest non-holiday grosser in Bollywood

Q. Which is the highest non-holiday grosser in Bollywood? A film that didn’t release during the major holiday weekends i.e Republic Day, after the IPL, Eid, Gandhi Jayanti, Diwali and Christmas (Sujith Kumar)

A. Good question, because the answer might surprise a lot of people. No film released during the non-holiday weekend has crossed 120 crore.

The highest non-holiday grosser is Sanjay Leela Bhasanli’s Ram Leela, which released a couple of weeks after Diwali last year and collected Rs 118 crore.

The second highest non-holiday grosser is Housefull 2, which gave producers the confidence to release their film during the first week of IPL. Housefull 2 released on 6th April 2012 and collected Rs 115 crore at the domestic box office.

Top 5 list of highest non-holiday releases below:

  • Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram Leela – 118 cr
  • Housefull 2 – 115 cr
  • Bhaag Milkha Bhaag – 112 cr
  • Barfi – 110 cr
  • 2 States – 102 cr

Note: Top stars like Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan haven’t had a single non-holiday release in the last 3 years. Aamir Khan had one, Talaash, which collected around 93 cr.

  • Lol now salman fans are proving hard that jai ho is non holiday release when republic day fall on Sunday. But same fans were ignorant when don2 released on normal Friday and Xmas and New Years falls on Sunday.

  • Mary Kom movie gonna be the surprise package of 2014 maybe over 100 to 200 crores worldwide collections priyanka gonna sizzle once again in a new sizzling avatar

  • Well well, I won’t count Jai ho as holiday release but still Ramleela has did 118cr and that’s not a joke. Post Ipl can’t be included as something connecting for holidays so for highest non-holiday grosser is Yjhd according to genuine reasons. @r20 i have seen many fools but i don’t think anyone is bigger than you, if RR is highest grosser than what about Yjhd i think you are a blind fanatic, for festive releases everyone perform well but what about Akshay he also have releases on holiday but results are. BLUE-2009 diwali below avg, Action replay-2010 diwali flop, Tmk-2010 cristmas flop, Boss-2013 bakri eid 5 day extended weekend flop. Forget the bo none of the above mention film even worth a single watch on tv, forget Theatre, that’s why producers,distributers want Khans,hr etc to release their films on holidays as they can bring huge crowds with good cinema to some extent. So don’t be blind akki also got opportunity but he failed to cash them, i am not akki hater but guys like you force me to bash him.

  • Sorry for gramaticle mistakes happen in my comments as i use mobile for comments so it happens. TMK-Semi hit not flop which i mentioned earlier. @sss you are simply great. What a taste you having MNIK-best film and performance ever, jab tak h mojo-best romantic film ever and Now Housefull2-one of the best comedy movie. Lol. You are the same guy who said Andaz apna apna a crap, and some other good well accepted films of Aamir bad. Kya baat h complan boy ka honour aise hi thode diya gaya h aapko. You are truly deserving one.

    so u show who is ahead. ok u ast hate srk,,. but don’t compared with others because he is the king.

  • @indicine. Its ready. 3rd June. Non holiday. And 122 cray nett. Confirmed by boi and taran adrash

  • @indicine team, Singhum release on 22 july of 2011 and Bol Bachchan release on 6 july of 2012. Is 22 july 2011 and 6 july holiday ? IPL means MAY or JUNE not JULY. So you correct above one artical and republish new one, also add Singhum and Bal Bachchan.

  • i think ready was released in june………………….on non holiday and grossed Rs 121 cr.

  • @ INDICINE team can you please tell me that why the so called crowd pullers Srk and Sallu don’t release their films on non holidays. are they scared of their flop? or they want to prove them self by avoiding non holiday? because if they release their film on non holiday we aamirians want to see weather they can cross 100 crore or even break tallash’s record.?

  • @weakness of khans:u must be a fan of pagalpuri srk or bhojpuri sallu. .fraud are not those who are humble and honest and give correct figures. Frauds are those who behave like friends ,but back stab. .just like your khans specially srk who always runs behind money and can do anything for money.
    All those people who think roshans are fraud are MORONS who cann’t analyse anything by themselves.

  • krrish 3 is pre Diwali release, is it holiday?? 4th nov. On national holiday k3 collects 35.91cr but on 4th day of movie release and on monday, highest ever collection for monday

  • @Indicine
    Ready & Jai Ho are also non-holiday releases.

    Still they collected more than some big holiday releases like Ra.One,Don2 & JTHJ.

    You have to mention it.

  • @indicine: After IPL period cannot be considered as a holiday period. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani which released after IPL last year didn’t have a single holiday except for Sundays in between it’s entire run. I think YJHD should be the highest non-holiday grosser.

    • The reason why Post-IPL releases are considered as good as holiday release is because very few big movies release between March – May. Exams, summer heat and IPL. The last big release featuring a big star was Ranveer Singh’s Gunday and Salman’s Jai Ho.

  • where is jai ho? surprised! it needs just common sense to prevail to know that jai ho was not a holiday release by any means.

  • @Indicine,where is Boll Batchchan,Singham and Ready,they are released non-holiday.
    please correct your list

    • @Ajey Rocks, please read both the question and answer carefully before you comment. The question was about non-holiday / unfavourable release period and Post-IPL is considered to be one of the most successful release weekends in the industry after Christmas and Eid.

      Singham and Bol Bachchan cannot be included because they just about managed to cross 100.

  • I want to answer those morons who are saying that post ipl period is not holiday… do you idiots know about school and colleges? Most of them are closed in post ipl period… So that is why post ipl period is considered holiday release as almost every school/colleges are closed during this period bcoz of summers vacations.. Got it? And those saying jai ho is not a holiday release what about don 2 xmas was on Sunday when it released

  • these akki fans have become a nuisance these days. targeting the khans for no reason. its jealousy all the way. dude if ur akki cannot reach up to the level of khans then its not our problem. akki fans think if akki gets a festive n holiday release he too will do business like the khans. come out of ur dreams, wake up n face the reality. its like saying if i am given an opportunity to open in indian cricket team i can score equal no. of centuries like sachin or even more! lol. and its not that akshay has not had a holiday or festive release. the fact is he has always floundered the opportunity and given a dud. so all u akki fans just shut the fk up.
    n there is an inherent foul with the question. u cannot say non holiday n post ipl at the same time. utter rubbish. dont call ram leela highest non holiday grosser. this is just so lame. I think we should just cut the crap like holiday n non holiday release. its just so overrated. if the people are interested in a certain movie they will watch it anyway.

  • So, Ranveer is bigger than all. Well, am happy,

    Also, its ridiculous to call release in January as holiday release, no matter which star’s movie.

    It doesnt make any sense.

    Ranveer rocks anyways.

  • I dont understand why sone people have doubt on k3 figures.Why would Rakesh Roshan will manipulate the figures of K3 at this stage of his career.

  • hrithik might give top grossers before but now ranbir overtakes him and khans are very strong in terms of boxoffice than him.

  • @nipun U should be ashamed of being Hrithik fan, Roshans started the trend of manipulating collections by 50-60 cr. Noone in the industry has done that except Roshans.

  • @Indicine,thanks for clarifaying and we gonna change the calender of the country lolz just kidding

  • Is Ram Leela collection 118cr seriously? oh! God, what happen with @indicine? Why you no make top 10 non- holiday grosser?Is heropanti superhit now?

  • @weakness of khans: hey drunkard, i’m proud of being a HRfan who is talented,dedicated,humble,honest,handsum etc etc. .all the gud adjectives r even small to describe GREEK GOD’S GREATness! It’s better to be a fan of greek god who makes gud films like jodha akbar,znmd,agneepath,guzaarish,kmg,d2,krrish,k3 etc rather dan crapstars who make craps like ce,ra1,ready,dabbang 2 . .lol. .n yeah,it’s for the first time dat some one underreported a film’s figure wid a margin of 50 crores. So shame of those who underreported k3.
