Only two films have managed what we could call an ‘excellent’ opening at the box office and only three have either matched or exceeded expectations. Unsurprisingly, one featured a top superstar like Shah Rukh Khan, the second was a Hollywood action-franchise film. The other was ‘Badrinath Ki Dulhania’ which had dependable stars like Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt.
The opening of ‘Jolly LLB 2’ falls in the acceptable / average range, because the film was expected to take a much better start than what it actually managed to collect on Day 1.
Hrithik Roshan’s Kaabil was completely obliterated by Shah Rukh Khan’s Raees, which is a concern for Hrithik because his films post Bang Bang haven’t even got a decent initial. The promos failed to generate interest, but a double digit total is the least that’s expected out of one of the top superstars – clash or not. Especially from a big-budget film like Mohenjo Daro, if not the smaller film Kaabil.
The next two films that’ll get a big initial are also no-brainers. Baahubali 2: The Conclusion is expected to take the box office by storm, before the megastar himself arrives to make the rest look like mere mortals.
The film that could surprise in between, as far as the initial is concerned, is Half Girlfriend. The poster of Raabta too has got a good response, but the important trailer will be out on Monday.

@Indicine
If u have reduced Raees figure why not Jolly day 1??
Raees is 20.27 cr as per trade!!!!
Time and again Indicine brings srk down
Agreed Raees was manipulated from Monday, but day 1?? It is 20.7 cr even as per boi
indicine’s statement:
“Kaabil’ s first day collection was better than Mohenjodaro.. ”
Hypocrites everywhere….
Next upcoming films opening:
Tiger Zinda Hai- 35 cr (solo on non-holiday)
BUMPER
Tubelight- 28 cr (non-holiday)
BUMPER
Bahubali 2- 27 cr BUMPER
Robot 2.0- 23 cr BUMPER
Rehnuma- 21 cr Excellent
Judwaa 2- 18 cr Excellent
Padmavati- 18 cr Excellent
Dutt Biopic- 17 cr (solo on non-holiday)
Excellent
@Sunny bc: Look at Jolly LLB’s opening before uttering shit .. And it was a solo release unlike Kaabil which clashed with the biggest movie of the year so far(not best).
Good Bye @sss (srk’s shit stud)
indicine’s hypocrisy as well as some stupid comments make me feel like leave indicine for ever.. But it’s the old bonding which doesn’t allow me to do ..
I visit rarely nowadays though..
Also the old visitors have started disappearing from here.
There used to be a lot of fun among us ( Me, Velocity, Sumeet, Babaji, Sambuddha, Navin uncle, Ajay Rocks, Anand etc) ..
“Before the Megastar himself to make the rest look like mere mortals”..What a pathetic and biased comment Indicine..Salman is getting initial becoz of solo eid release..let him clash on a non holiday and u can see that collections will come below Raees..Stop acting like a Salman fan
out of 2, one is hollybood and wht common in both is action, action genre is loved by all, nd we expect action movies from youngsters as well .we criticise youngsters for not doing massy action movies, but when they do the result come out as kill dil, tevar( even worst than theirs boring urban films) hahaha
I don’t understand the term ” the megastar ”
Salman is no Amitabh , no Rajinikanth , no Mohanlal , no chiranjeevi.
Though I am a Salman fan ( equally likes akki and Hrithik ) I won’t say he is in a different league to srk or Hrithik.. especially srk. Just because Salman’s formula films clicking and sharukh is going through a tough period doesn’t mean one is megastar and other is not. A masala entertainer with decent content srk can get a 250-300 crore grosser . He has large number of fans 2nd only to Salman. Likewise Hrithik is 1 sensational film away from becoming a nationwide craze once again.
I think Salman is no:1 star of the generation before and after wanted.. sharukh is very very close to him in starpower before and after wanted. Hrithik Roshan can challenge them if he is doing proper films.
Akshay is missing a nationwide megahit , probably robot2 can do the job.
Aamir is not a contender actually.. he succeeds on the merit of the film .. and that created a trust on him. But it has limits.. just a major flop can do big damages.
SRK is baap of Bollywood when it comes to opening.he can give 20 + crore opening with clash that too on working day.if he gets solo festival release then only sky is the limit.
“before the megastar himself arrives to make the rest look like mere mortals”
OMG, something is burning yaar, I can smell it…..Ooh actually its Hater’s Ass Burning…..HAHAHA
“Baahubali 2: The Conclusion is expected to take the box office by storm, before the megastar himself arrives to make the rest look like mere mortals.”
Spare the ass of haters Indicine.
before the megastar himself arrives to make the rest look like mere mortals wooowww love this line and love the way indicine treats salman khan ?
@sss; is leaving Indicine….Haash Bhagvan ne bacha liya is torcher se….
Jaise Dharti pe Bojh hote hai waise hi ye @sss Indicine Pe Bojh tha….finally Indicine is ek torcher khatam…..HAHAHA
U md my day indicine wd dat line “before the megastar himself arrives to make the rest look like mere mortals”
‘Before the megastar Himself arrives to make the rest look like mere mortals’. ???. Some guys are burning already. Well done indicine, u are 210% correct. ?
Dear Akki fans everyone know if Hrithik gets a solo release then Hrithik film will beat the highest lifetime collections of Akshya Kumar just in 5-6 days. Mind it!!!
Truth is Bitter.
Akki fan to dekhlo independence day 2017 ko kaise clash lose karta hai akki.
“Before the MEGASTAR himself arrives to make others look like mere mortal……..”
So indicine I thought you are a reasonable,sound website but being a trade website ,the repercussions of box office performances finally is having a toll on your ‘non – negotiable’ ethics.Good going forward.You people are on your way to greatness.Please ignore ‘mere mortals’ like us.
@ sss don’t leave indicine what if they said Salman as megastar don’t worry Srk wil fight hard he will also get what Salman achieved . Trust ur superstar . Every actor face such bad phase Srk will bounce back .
@SRK(supper rocking khan) fake srk fan spotted
Dekte hein Toilet Ek Prem Katha Ki kya Opening Hoti Hain??
@makkhiholic toilet lol What about Jolly solo + Franchise (not big but most loved movie on TV) and way more screens, it’s opening is in the same range as Kaabil considering clash
And Agneepath 14 cr without national holiday ?? Go and read maths Kid, and what about ur Solo National holiday franchise movie SIB, it even failed to take 17 cr opening lol….
NOONE knows megastar Makkhi outside North and Mumbai circuit that’s why megastar Makkhi is struggling to cross his rowdy rather since 5 years, while Hrithik has following in overall India
And coming to Openings
Hrithik has not one or two but 4 Record openings (4 baar tukka nhi lagta munna) while megastar Makkhi has ?
Go and take some rest Kid…
Kaabil and Jolly opening r in same range considering all factors while Hrithik is going through worst phase and Makkhi in his best phase
Difference
@Makki toiletholic Bang bang opening credit not goes to Hrithik then goes to whom – Megastar Chakki ?
Opening on 2nd October
Ranbir’s Besharam – 20 cr +
HR’s Bang Bang – 25 cr + with clash
Megastar Makkhi – 16 cr with franchise lolll
@Toletholic
If HR is surviving on big budget Movie, then what about Makkhi’s Brother
If HR is surviving on Sequels then what about Megastar Chakki SIB, OUATIMD
If HR is Excellent openings coz of National Holiday, then what about Megastar Makkhi SIB??
Makkhi is tushar Kapoor outside North
Srk in bad phase >>>>>> salman amir
@toiletholic even if we go by lejhand BOI
Difference between Kaabil and Jolly is just 15-17 cr
Kaabil had a clash with Massy movie of SRK and Jolly had no competition till 3 weeks, Jolly was universal while Kaabil was a thriller with blind lead couples (Semi Commercial), still Jolly Underperformed everywhere except North
That itself shows all India reach of Hrithik and Megastar Makkhi
@13.00hrs
Stop filtering people mind just because legendary Sunny does not agree. Are we to follow your Dumb brains?
So you are correct while @Indicine and the users here are dumb to give credit? Please speak for yourself not for the general audiences.
So Mr Logic twice you mentioned National Holiday for 2 of Hrithik movie.
Bang Bang as little as I know was not released on National. You want to say that period was a general Holiday for all Indians? Forget about that dont forget it clashed with Haider which won lots of critically acclaimed awards.
Agneepath…was Republic Day like most of Akkis recent hits especially 2years from now. So why didnt Akshay get any above 20 on Republic day? Rustom Sib Airlift Baby are all to be considered National Holiday which means their actual collections would be around 8crs following your logic????
