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.

@Toilet your excerpts
1….””I always said KHANS AKSHAY RANBIR R TOP 5 AND MJD AND KAABIL OPENING ON NON HOLIDAY PROVED IT.””
Here Kaabil which was released on REPUBLIC DAY ….you are saying kaabil opening is on a Non Holiday??
2……”Agneepath 14CR IF WE CUT OUT NATIONAL HOLIDAY ADVNTGE..1CR LOWER THN ROWDY RATHORE ..MEANS HRITHIK MOVIES NEVER OPENED BIGGER THN AKSHAY IN THIS DECADE IF WE CUT OUT NATIONAL HOLIDAY ADVNTGE.
Another excerpts on yours same page.
“Agneepath 14CR IF WE CUT OUT NATIONAL HOLIDAY ADVNTGE..1CR .”
Now you are saying Agneeapath which was also a Republic day release like Kaabil …you are calling it a “NATIONAL HOLIDAY????”
You call Kaabil non holiday then you call Agneepath a National Holiday why are you just trying to suit your useless logic by spreading False information to the public and later you blame @indicine and we the users for giving credits to deserved movies?? You know nothing about movies so I request you get your Facts right before posting comments. Such a dummy…try harder next time!!!
But Surprisingly , u guyz are not able to come up with interesting articles
@tiger:maximum of akki fans likes salman too.sunny sometimes bash salman I agree but even in your group navin n ultron a mechanic always bashes every other superstar except bhai!!
@sss
Salman and Srk are very close friends then why do you want to admit personal grudges?? Everybody have their time, Shah Rukh is the most consistent superstar we have in the industry even Salman fans know that, when Srk was also tagged Megastar ,King Khan nobody had problems with that Now the Pendulum has swang ,Salman track records this decades obviously tags him the Numero Uno a Megastar along with Aamir too,so its not by favouring fans but they Earned it. You can still see how any Srk movie easily gives an excellent opening same with weekend but the advantage Salman and Aamir have is content oriented whole family entertaining packages that makes their movie sustain for a very long time.
@ tiger, SRK already crossed Jai ho and ready collections on non holiday with Raees .now u will tell Raees is a holiday release of republic day.if Jai ho is considered non holiday release despite a republic day release then how Raees is a holiday release ? And don’t forget Raees faced a big clash that too after 1 month of dangal when dangal was still running strongly.
@ nipun don’t worry babaji will come here indicine yesterday they said me I was asked him why u are not coming he replied me he was busy .
@ tiger 1: 50 pm, WTH it is ? You made this list only to show your idol at top.who will mention about 1st 1 crore opening ? 1st 35 + crore opening given by SRK with HNY.isn’t it a major record ? Ok he is a recordless actor .ab khush !!
FOR SRK HATERS… JUST WATCH WHAT BRET RANTNER SAID ABOUT SRK IN SAN FRANCISCO FILM FESTIVAL..
THE REASON HE IS KNOWN AS GLOBAL SUPERSTAR..
A HUGE HOLLYWOOD DIRECTOR COMAPRING SRK WITH HOLLYWOOD BIGGIES..
SO THING BEFORE YOU SPEAK HATERS..
ITS JUST A MATTER OF ONE BIG UNIVERSAL APPELING MOVIE.. HATERS WILL NOT FIND SHELTER TO HIDE..ITS SOON GONNA HAPPEN..
AS MODI SAID..ACCHE DIN AANE WALE HAI..
@mahesh
Quite agree with you but you have to admit it dude, the kind of following Salman commands is worth comparing to legends like Amitabh, Rajinikanth and Chiranjeevi.
I too feel that Akshay should do more universal films in between. H3 was below average last year. Let’s hope Salman-Karan Johar film will be a universal one. Excited about Robot 2 as well.
Excellent opening 2017 Raees
king is country mile ahead in overseas
then Salman Khan Aamir Khan
starting career with Dewana reward
Filmfare Debut
after one year KA Blockbuster
one year later DDL all times Blockbuster
till Raees unstoppable run is continue
Salman and Aamir was recognised
after 2009 they have only 9 year stardom
and SRK is king of Bollywood because
of consistency
@srg’s jabra fan
Yes crappy old year collected 45cr nett on opening day….. And Baba Gurmeet Raam Rahim’s HKNKJ is a 300cr grossers. Therefore, Baba Gurmeet Raam Rahim>>>>>global king….. Hahaha
@sunny How can u forget 2008 bro? When Akshay’s Tashan that wasn’t released in multiplexes got a bigger opening that Hrithik’s magnum opus Jodha Akbar. And Singh is Kinng was two times more than it.
Why indicine is still promoting a flop movie Raees
Whatever the opening but end result is flop for Raees bcoz it was a garbage movie
@Sallucine: Where was that megastar from 2000-09.?
This indicine’s Mega Flop Star giving blockbuster for sake of eid. First he reborn with south masala remake. Now he is surviving through eid. Today’s solo eid release means 80% blockbuster completes. Even Put a varun / Ranbir /ranveer in eid they will get blockbuster. Ex.. Badrinath ki dulania would have sureshot blockbuster in eid. Bajirao mastani would have sureshot blockbuster in eid.
take out eid from Non Actor .you will get the real one. In this decade with one eid srk delivered atg with breaking every record.
Mega star criminal my foot.
Dangal is releasing in china on 5th may…post article…
@Mahesh
Let me tell you something
I know you are a crazy fan of Salman & You are trying to ignore Aamir , but it’s okay.
But here’s a fact you should know , Aamir Legend whether you like the fact or not .
One of the most actors continuance. If not the most.
Amitabh , Rajinikanth How many HGOT they have ? How many ATBB,HGOTY, ?
I know they are Greate actors not because of boxoffice but because of their movies so forget boxoffice numbesr. How many classics movies they have (specially in imdb’s 250 movies list ) ? Has one of their films gone to Oscar or BAFTA ?
Aamir do all this , And still gives classics one by one .
but i agreed with u ,They are the only who deserve megastar title and It is not fair to comapar megastars to aamir or another actor , Because they are superstars and made grearte movies even before he was born. and the others like aamir salman srk hrthik…. just superstars
i know aamir to you like ranvir & ranbir
I will not tell you that Aamir is a superstar like or above srk & salman , But go and ask any objective or impartial fan of srk & salman and he will answer you.
Oh shit indicine what have you done, this article will hunt srk fans in their dreams for the rest of their lives. Huge burnol moment for them.
It will take much time to arrive megastar to make the rest look like mere mortals.
Diwali 2018 is too far.
@sss bro why are you leaving this site? It’s so shocking and saddening. You are one man army. U should stay here. Please don’t leave this site. There is no fun without you on this site.
@Mahesh aamir has far bigger fan following than salman. Salman doesnt have auka at to challange aamir at Box office. Aamir is biggest star of his generation. Let your aukaatless star to give ATHG first which he has been struggling since 1994. Aamir is giving it back to back like a boss.
@sss finally nice to see a genuine and sensible comment after bunch of idiotic, brainless comments of indicine users and indicine itself.
@Katyar Kaljyat you are really an idiot to make such absurd comment? What do you mean srk will achieve the same as salman? Who is salman by the way? You idiot, srk has been megastar since 1992. He has already achieved all these and a lot more than what the so called newly born megastar is achieving. The biggest global name even bigger than tom cruise and 2nd richest achor in the world. BBC, CNN, The Guardians, Los Angeles Times, Forbes all have declared him as biggest movie star on earth. Who are you tiny 2 rs brainless auto waalas who glorify your local actor? He is nothing in front of global megastar srk. Get a life you brainless jerk.
@nipun yes i m looking at jolly’s opening ..despite flop music & dull period it did 13CR which is way better opening thn kaabl considering all as
@nipun yes i m looking at jolly’s opening ..despite flop music & dull period it did 13CR which is way better opening thn kaabl considering all aspects ..idiot !
@abhishke according to BOI ..KAABIL 85 AND JOLLY21
@nipun Despite flop music & dull period it did 13CR which is way better opening thn kaabl considering all aspects ..idiot !
@abhishk according to BOI ..KAABIL 85 AND JOLLY2 did 107cR ..its 22cR DIFFERNCE..YAHA BHI MANIPULATION KI JRURTT??? SHOWS LEVEL OF HRITHIK & HIS FANS .
@AISHA so u r not aware of d fact kaabil released on non holiday ,bang bang & agnpth on national holiday ?? ? republic advantage was not on 1st day for kaabil so opening will count as non holiday.bang bang released on 3200+ screens on gandhi jynti national holiday…haider was a small release…increase your knowledge about boxoffice & bollywood bewakoof !
talking about rustom doing 20cR INA SINGLE DAY?? ONLY IDIOTS LIKE U COMPARES 2300 screen SIZE NICHE GENRE MOVIE to do 20cR ON NATIONAL HOLIDAY TH TOO WITH CLASH ..
OH I REMEMBER ONE THING ..SHIVAY DID ONLY 13-15CR (BOI) oN BIGGEST HOLIDAY OF DIWALI…ROFL …
@aisha: first get ur facts right.agneepath released on a big national holiday on 26 th Jan.kaabil released on 25 th Jan which is not a national holiday since 26 th was on next day.as far as akki’s baby,airlift n rustom all released on non holiday as 26 th Jan was on 5th day in case of both baby n airlift.rustom too released on non holiday as 15th august was on its 4 th day again and it scored 19.95 CR’s almost equal to 2O CR’s even though it has clash with a massive mohenjodaro.and one more thing all akki’s recent releases are targeted to certain section of audience, those movies were neither for pan Indian audience nor are they commercial films like agneepath,bang bang.I hope u understood now!anyways indicine conformed on its ranking of actors that after khans its akki who is on 4th and then comes hr..
@abhishek: in current ranking system the website on which u are barking too much had already conformed that akki is ahead of jadoo boy.I can’t laugh at ur comments when u said that jolly was for universal audience. Movies like jolly is always for limited set of audience. Kaabil is much more appealing movie targeted for all sections of audience. So,what if it had clash with Rae’s don’t forget in its first 5 days it had two big national holidays(26th Jan n Sunday)while jolly had not even a single national holiday apart from Sunday..BTW,don’t forget ur jadoo boy was trashed by akki in left,right n centre by akki during rustom vs mj clash..
