2015 has been good year for Akshay Kumar. ‘Baby’ was the first big release of the year and even though the film did not open well at the box office, it was Akshay’s most critically acclaimed film in a long time. The film sustained well and went on to do business of Rs 96 crore.
The superstar returned in May with ‘Gabbar Is Back’. The remake catered to Akshay’s fan-following at mass-centres, where the film did well.
So the big question with ‘Brothers’ is if the film, which is targeted both at single-screen and multiplex audience, will take a good opening.
The trailer received a good response, the song and dialogue promos has managed to raise the curiosity among audiences with its
storyline, emotional connect and realistic action sequences. Apart from action, Brothers also shows the relationship between two brothers, father-son and husband-wife. In short, the film has something for everyone.
Brothers will be releasing on 3500 plus screens all over country and the big question on Day 1 will be if Akshay Kumar, combined with Sidharth Malhotra’s fan-following amongst the fairer sex, can break his own records with the film.
All records currently belong to his film ‘Rowdy Rathore’ which released in 2012.
1. Highest Opening Day: Only 6 stars – Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Ranbir Kapoor and Ajay Devgn – have managed to give their films a opening of 20 crore or more on Day 1. When it comes to opening day numbers, the last Akshay film that took a good start was ‘Rowdy Rathore’. Since then, the opening of all his films have been below par. While ‘Brothers’ should beat the 3 year old record of ‘Rowdy Rathore’ (15.1 cr), it remains to be seen if the film can open at 20 crore plus.
2. Highest Opening Weekend: No Akshay Kumar film has managed to collect Rs 50 crore in its opening weekend and Brothers, because of two holidays on Saturday and Sunday, has every chance of beating the record of ‘Rowdy Rathore’ (48.3 crore) by a big margin. The same applies for films starring Sidharth Malhotra in the lead – his best is Rs 49.7 crore of Ek Villain.
3. Highest First Week: Another record that’s likely to be surpassed is the for the highest first week business. The record again belongs to Akshay’s Rowdy Rathore (79.52 crore). If Brothers is well-received, then the film could cross the 80 crore mark in 5-6 days!
4. Highest grossing film in India: Akshay’s highest grosser so far is Rowdy Rathore which collected Rs 134 crore back in 2012. Sidharth’s last film ‘Ek Villain’ collected Rs 104 crore and Jacqueline Fernandes is way ahead with ‘KICK’ collecting Rs 233 crore during Eid last year. Realistic targets will be crossing the business of Rowdy Rathore and collecting 150 crore plus.
5. Highest grossing film overseas: Akshay’s highest grossing film overseas is the 7-year-old film ‘Singh Is King’, which collected a little more than $7 million. Both ‘Baby’ and ‘Gabbar Is Back’ have performed poorly in the overseas markets, so it’ll be interesting to see if ‘Brothers’ takes a good opening. The Dharma factor should help the film.
6. Highest grossing film worldwide: The record currently belongs to Rowdy Rathore (Rs 201 crore gross), Akshay’s only film to cross the 200 crore mark worldwide.
@Neeraj LMAO if akshay does dhoom 4 then dhoom 4 will be first flop in the franchise
I think if it does 19-20crs on opening day,it will have a great chance of entering 200crs club.
Its just a remake …
Akki shouldn’t have done this..
he will lose his stardom if it fails to par 150cr lifetime.
He need to take a long break.
@tiger chuhe:: Kangana’s TWMR collected 150crs on non holiday while our tapori bhaijaan’s Jail Ho collected 110crs…hahaha too much fun,everyone knows bhai is nothing without holidays.
@floppy,, Rew1,, Naven!!! please don’t waste you time by barking here. no one care about your barking. we can understand your feeling theses days. so it will be better for all of you to hide your faces from now.
Marigold was collected only one crore , even Tushar Kapoor can’t break record what a shame .
Sallu Lallu Ullu why he has played role of Brahmin charector I really don’t like it all .
I’m always been happy about the akki’s any movie….Collections are not bothering me cause for me akki is god and akkian is my religion
Because of Sid’s Fan following and good word of mouth and best response of trailer this time Akki Sir’s will definitely include in stars list who gave 20 crore plus opening.
1st Day 21 crore
2nd Day 30 crore
3rd Day 25 crore
Weekend 76 crore
1st Week 110 crore
2nd Week 40 crore
Remaining weeks 30 crore
Lifetime: 180 crore +
Verdict Blockbuster
You all are still under estimating this movie by saying that it will open 16-18cr on day 1……. it’s a humble request to all of you don’t underestimate this movie otherwise you will definitely get outnumbered…….. It doesn’t matter if it is promoted on reality shows or not what matters is that the trailers and promos have worked big time among the masses and classes it will surely taking opening of 23 to 25 crores on day 1…… lifetime will be 255-265cr minimum nd max to max 285cr…
Coz
There is a storm coming
#Brothers
#14aug2015
Just because Gabbar is back and baby did not open well it doesn’t mean that brothers will go their way…… haters whether you like it or not own brother is one of the most awaited movie of 2015 and it will take the second position after Bajrangi Bhaijaan in terms of box office collection …….. and as far as the Overseas collection goes I have earlier said that this movie will do fantastic business in foreign markets …… I have full faith in Akshay Kumar this time and he will definitely and I mean definitely give a tough fight two the khans ……
@indicine I still remember last time that when Singham returns was releasing you predicted that the movie will collect 24 crores on day 1 that too on a national holiday like Independence Day and that too with a big brand like Singham….. so indicine if you know what I mean so guys get ready for 14th August 2015 coz brothers are coming to rule your hearts……..
@Neeraj same way Hrithik roshan should also not be included as he is nothing without his papa. Remember 7 back to back flops after the fluke debut from Filmcraft production of his papa’s banner? Remember how big disasters non flying kites and mosquito ki guzaarish were? Also Bang Bang had Katrina. So Katrina’s name would have been mentioned. Lets see how much Mohenjo Daro’s opening is. Ajay is far better than your Jadoo boy Hrithik roshan.
Opening will 16+ cr. Only because of there is siddharth Malhotra who has highest fan following in twitter amongst the young star
BVS… Are you NVS’s brother? LOL.. You guys have been expecting Akshay film to do 20 cr from the last three years…
OUATIM, Boss, Holiday, Gabbar, Baby.. all failed.. this is his best chance, if he fails now to give big opening… then it means audience is not interested to watch Akki films..
Stop dreaming of 23-24 cr… its not going to happen.
@akhan thank you these ppl are nothing but the patients from the mental hospital who are constantly barking without any reason… brothers will be huge then we’ll see those ppl crying last yr i remember floppy started crying when holiday became a hit…
@ Tiger – the real- dog,,
I think you forgot. My or Mrs Khana. Yoraj. Veer. Mirigol. God tussi great ho.. Kyonki.. and many many more.
Akshay still did’nt face that phase where your bhojpori super star created all these records.
If Akshay Kumar stars in Dhoom 4 and the movie is directed by none other than Neeraj Pandey then sky is the limit for this movie….
It would be better if Yash Raj pictures cast Akshay Kumar and give the directors hat to Neeraj Pandey other than that crap hole Vijay Krishna Acharya(Victor)…….. just imagine how the movie would turn out to be…..
BVS.. movie will be awesome.. but there won’t be any songs and opening will be 10 crore lol..
Every director has his own talent and space.. you can’t ask Rajkumar Hirani to direct Dhoom 4, just because he’s a good director..
people need to understand few bad films doesn’t make any actor bad… look at ajay devgn he gave nonsense films like rascals, himmatwala, tezz and action jackson and recently his film drishyam won hearts of audiences and that film is going for a hit… so stop calling that new kid sid a superstar he still has to give more hits like his fellow mate varun… ek villain was super-hit due to ritesh and shraddha.. brothers will be be super-hit for akki and sid…
Brothers 1st day 18 to 20cr n Lifetime 180 to 200cr
Don’t know how much these stats are important but for me the quality of the film,its story and the acting of the leads matter. Akshay has already proved his worth not once but many times. So always will love to watch his movies.
@Mohit! Audience are going to cinema to watch good movie, not to find out that how much that movie collect. Akshay is doing great films these days. This is not his problem when his films are not collecting 200cr or 300cr. Soecial26 . Holiday. Baby even gabbar. All of them great films.
Opening will be below 10 Cr. weekend collection will be 29 Cr. Life time will be 61 Cr.
@BVS you have full faith in akshay this type because Much more bigger stars like jacquilene and sid are also in movie lol go and jump from anywhere khiladi fans even kanganayes even kangana is much bigger star thanakki
Worldwide collection will be 94 Cr.
@mohit think twice before commenting we all know what happened with Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai Dobara if not for Shahrukh Khan’s dirty antics then the movie could have collected 23+ on day 1 we all know what happened between Ekta Kapoor and Shahrukh Khan and how ugly the fight got 4 screen space…… and 1 more thing as an Akshay Kumar fan I was not interested in ouatimd from its trailer only because they showed a love story instead of a crime drama……. the movie was itself crap…….but if Both movies would have released on Eid with equal screen space then on opening day I could guarantee you that ouatimd could have collected more then Chennai Express….
And as far as Gabbar is back , baby and holiday goes I agree that these films was not promoted well as they should have been otherwise the result would have been different……. holiday would have collected 150+ and baby 100+……..
Mera bacha Mohit don’t worry brothers will definitely collect 23 to 25 crores on its opening day and it was shut your damn shitty in mouth
Mataji ki paylagu:
Varun & Sid’s non holiday releases collected 100cr+. But jokerboy’s holiday release gobar collected only 80cr……too much fun.
All the best to akshay. I hope It breaks all opening day records on non holiday. I also hope this one doesnt disappoint story wise.
All the very best Team Brothers.. First 200 + Net all India for Akki.. Im hopping for 230 +
@ tiger the faithful dog , akki is a self made
star just like srk ….!!
at least he has given memorable movies
like – janwar, mohra, andaaz hera pheri unlike ur so called lallu bhai who has given
A good movie since his debut.
Akki can act better than ur underactor bhai …!!
Akki was giving hits to blockbusters in 2007 while ur bhai who wasn’t even in top
5 . Shame on so called bhai !!!!

brothers prediction :)
opening day : 19 to 22 crore
weekend : 60+crore
1st week : 110 crore
lifetime : 140 crore to 180 crore .
How will Dharma factor help overseas? Maybe if it was directed by KJo but people won’t watch a film just because of the banner.
