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.

@Mohan : Jali mere comment se? … that’s must be your biggest mistake if you think i was absent. let me tell you what is actually called ‘being absent ‘. being absent is what decades disaster Chotu/Motu’s fans were till 2010 as their 2010 born bhojpuri idols were busy giving back to back flops and completing half centuries records of flops . Hny : 405 cr gross ( more than Kick) + Don 2 : 240 cr = 645 cr total where Nawazuddin Bhaijaan is just some crores above than 500cr then how Hny + Don 2 = BB ? Jhota Bhojpuritard?.. btw CE gross >> Jai ho + ready Kick combined . Hny opening >> Nawazuddin Bhaijaan + Jai ho combined.. CE in overseas >> Dabang 1 + Dabang 2 + Ready + jai ho + Bodyguard + Veer, Kick etc combined & Ra.one >> all movies of salman in overseas in last decade.. lol
@Rew1 : Exactly Aamir and Salman are expected to break each others’ records & to compete with actors like Akshay, Ajay & Hrithik as they are too small & tiny actors to compete & break the records of KING KHAN as they are stardom-less. already one decade disaster motu failed several times ( more than 3 times) to break CE & specially Hny opening with disaster Jai ho, Nawaz’s Kick & BB & will be failed again & again. Lol & another motu will be failed on next Christmas being shameless & will try to compete with flop Talaash opening..
@Hrithik : so? Guilty Bhaijaan despite of doing blockbuster south masala films back to back still didn’t break all records at once for at least one time in last 7 years while SRK did once simple masala film recently & broke each and every record with 3/4 clashes that’s called stardom that’s why he his opening records are more than stardom-less Chotu + Motu combined opening records.. don’t chant about overseas? Lol why bec even arjun kapoor’s 2 states also had better weekend the Crap Kick & lifetime of 2 States was more than 95% Salwoman films in this decades.
Nawazudin Bhaijaan has 4/5 times more screens than 5 years old MNIK & did more so called that achievement? if it is achievement what about 99% Salwoman’s films which failed to break even 15 years old K3G in overseas? Lallutard. yes forget 7 birth your lallu can’t break MNIK record in Overseas in his 100 more lives in terms of average per site.. forget about others.
Domestic & overseas both have their own verdicts & both equally matters, if you’re to afraid to know about it as your Bhojpuri Bhaijaan comes last there then that’s your headache not mine.
@Rakesh roshan : classless man? who says? i fan of Bhaijaan whose idol has damaged the whole B’wood through his crap, shit & Gatar chap classless south remake masala films since he steps into B’wood. Hiding face is a Bhojpuri/Chotutards’ habit who were hidden for more than 20 years till 2010 being shameful. then since 2013 till 2015 bcoz of Ce now just wait for Christmas & see..
@Aisha Iqbal : Thanks n have a blessed day :-))
@I am AKN : Your king struggled to beat HAHK in India for 13 years even during his prime days n Salman just took only 5 years to smash your king in his own territory !!!!! This is taking screen counts, inflation, dollar value n everything !!!!!!!! Now don’t bark that DDLJ broke HAHK in India. Maratha mandir khareed ne se koi record nahi totta !!!!! Nawazuddin Bhaijaan?? Lol wait n watch how much Manjhi is going to collect, even if you watch it 100 times on big screen it won’t collect half as BB !!!!!!!!!
@Hrithik – aur kitna jhooth bolega shameless Bhojpuritard? SRK’s K3G crossed HAHK in 2001 it self. K3G WW Gross >> HAHK gross.. Apni cameo aur Madhuri ki HAHK pe Naach rahe hai lol still didn’t know that SRK crossed it in few years while after Madhuri’s HAHK Bhojpuri Bhaijaan gave second 100cr film WW in 2010 after 16 plus years of Gap. whereas there were only 2/3 years gap between SRK’s 1st, 2nd 100cr WW film and during the same time Guilty Bhaijaan was struggling to cross DDLJ for more than 16 + years in India/WW, finally crossed it in 2010 ( 2010 born for a reason ) & was struggling to cross DDLJ in overseas for more than 16 + years then 2010 born Bhojpuri Bhaijaan crossed it after 2010 & was struggling to cross K3G in overseas for more than 15 + years & did it in 2015 with Nawazuddin Bhaijaan but failed with more than 50 times and will be failed again & again in future with his upcoming Gatar Chap films like Razia Sultan & Kick 2..
Just pray that Taran/Komal or BOI/BOI.CO.IN doesn’t add MM’s coll of DDLJ in total lifetime coll otherwise tere jaise shameless Bhojpuritard ki phir se phat jayegi jaise 1992 se phat rahi hai..
@I am AKN : If overseas verdict matters then please change verdicts of Swades n KANK from Average and Hit to Super Hit and ATBB respectively in Srk filmography. Come on, change it n prove me wrong you moron !!!!!!!!! You are a pheko, knowledge kuch Hai nahi only barking bakwaas all time !!!!!!!!
@Hrithik — aur kitna jhooth bolega shameless Bhojpuritard? SRK’s K3G crossed HAHK in 2001 it self. K3G WW Gross >> HAHK gross..

@I am Nangawale : Toh angrez ki aulaad Hai kya ??? That’s why you always bark about overseas n worldwide. Again poor knowledge, go back to Nursery n learn something from your fake king !!!!!!!! :-p
@I am AKn : If DDLJ collections can be consider from Maratha Mandir then every producer will open a new theater along movie release n will run it for 25 years to show high lifetime collections !!!!!! Another poor comment from sadak ch@p, your real aukaat is coming out. Just by calling others as illiterate won’t make you literate !!!!!!!! Keep frustrating !!!!!
Too much fun !!!!!
@hrithik : if a movie is running since his first day then why it collection can’t be added? what a lame excuse you’ve given, such fake/lame excuse were expected only from bhojpuri fans like you. if every producer can open then why they didn’t till now? the fact is no other movie had such great effect like DDLJ that’s why it is still running aur ye tere idol ki bas ki baat nahi so keep these lame excuse for yourself. even BOI was also giving DDLJ collection till 2008 in every week & even Komal also has given it that too in 2010 aur tum apni bhojpuri duniya mein ghum ho just like your idol..
@Iam AKN : We have shown your king’s aukaat for 7 times (including BB in 2015) since your king’s debut. I have excluded MPK and Saajan because your king was non existing species until late 1992. Whereas your king was able to show only 5 times and now so called king struggling to cross 250 crs. Now talking about current BO game, BB and PK is out of his reach/limit now. Let him keep chasing D3 in India and 3 Idiots in overseas. Ask your king to give some reasons to his fans to defend him, kab tak Don vs Jaaneman(2006), DDLJ (1995), Fakefare awards, 20 overseas BBs ke gaane bajate raho hey ??
