Akshay Kumar’s Brothers has come crashing down on its 2nd Friday at the box office. The writing was on the wall as early as Day 3 (Sunday), but there was hope that the film would sustain well enough to show growth in its second weekend, as it wasn’t competing against big films.
But the 3rd major drop in 8 days is probably the final nail in the coffin, as the best possible result now would be lifetime business of Rs 90 crore net.
Brothers was one of the biggest films of 2015, released by a major banner like Dharma Productions and the film even managed to get the 4th best release period of the year (after Eid, Diwali, Christmas). The content, however, was a major letdown.
Overall, the makers of the film will lose money on Brothers. The outstanding run of ‘Baahubali’ will cover up the losses of Brothers for Dharma, but given the release period, the film is one of the biggest disappointments of 2015.
A film that was expected to be Akshay’s biggest grosser will now be the 5th highest grosser of his career after Rowdy Rathore, Housefull 2, Holiday: A Solider Is Never Off Duty and Baby. It’ll be his 6th highest grosser if Brothers fails to beat the 86 crore total of Gabbar Is Back.
The Dharma – Fox partnership has also taken the worst possible start. The good news? Shandaar is tracking well and the trailer of the film has managed to create quite a bit of buzz.

Brothers is the biggest disappointment of the year..no hopes from singh is Bling now but since the first day is a national holiday so at least it should collect a reasonable number
Akshay Kumar’s Brothers flops at box office?!! ? really @indicine.. since when Brothers become an Akki solo movie???
I’m really surprised.
Viva Akki ??????
@sweet heart oh come on. Dont insult me like this. Whatever my existence in this industry is only due to YRF, Dharma. Without them I am totally 0.
So tight slap to bastards who were saying srk succeeded thanks to dharma nd yrf..
FAN was supposed to come on 14th Aug than it got postponed nd brothers came..
15 th Aug backed up by Sunday as next day..
FAN being a not so commercial would have done over 80 cr for sure..
That’s the diff between star power..
With brothers no one can deny that akki doesn’t promote his films..
Visited tv shows; diff cities..
Result?
15 cr..
Lower than Jaiho..
Harsh truth – 3 KHANS nd Hrithik are bigger crowd pullers without any doubt..
The only clear hit fox has given is my name is khan ..
I though only predicted few movies this year, generally biggies, but all my predictions were accurate like before except for brothers
I predicted max of 150 and I thought it would reach near 100 mark even in worst case becoz I thought opening will be bigger..Singham Returns opening weekend was excellent
Akshay kumar in his fav genre failed to beat Baby and I think it will fall short of Gabbar as well
Republic Day is most favourable period for Akshay to release his films acc to me
I think Akki needs a break for at least a year, then he should come with a content rich film.
Then it should work at the box office.
Opening was decent enough to carry the film to a Hit status around 125-130crs.
But the film was rejected by the audiences and Akki can’t do much in that case
@ajay rocks! Don’t be very happy. Even with flop like brother Akki is still much much bigger than Ajay. After the release of Singh is bling Akki films will collect 500 cr worldwide this year.
@indicine..
i heard dr cabbi collections were amaizing… it was blockbuster… n ur saying in a comment tht it was a failure… wats the truth…plz .
Akki now can do mutistarr movie like ab jr
Fox star big profits
Prem Ratan Dhan Payo
BIGGEST hit of the year
BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN 2nd Position
1st 400cr club and chance to 1st 500cr India
This DIWALI biggest dhamaka
screen shot please
it was a good film too bad it didn’t work at boxoffice and sad thing is nonsense films like housefull 2, chennai express, rowdy rathore and bodyguard works…
@Indicine
Yes u r ryte on shweta’s cmnt BT I think brothers collected very good on opening weekend so y blame Akshay. He has done hiz job ..!
53 cr weekend iz quite good . so
Blame should go to the director ..!
@Ajay rocks
Who iz blaming the critics ?
R u mad ?
Look at the WOM. Its mixed 2 negative nd its not a comedy film , its a serious movie so critics review matters a lill bit .
Remember wht happened to kites ??
@Retard right
Its satellite rights sold for 36 cr music for 12 crs .
Indicine said that baby’s satellite rights r low so its an above average overall BT now indicine iz not talking about satellite rights ..
Its budget 100 nd collection 90. above average or average overall .
Overseas rights were sold for 12 cr nd it will do around 25 cr in overseas. .
Its not a losing film from any where .
I hope indicine analysis it again correctly ..!
@Bhojpuri superstar ha ha ha ha. Flopshay bigger star than ajay? Only in your dreams. Brothers despite independence day couldn’t come anywhere close to SR. That proves who is bigger Sta. Ajay is much much much much much much much bigger star than Flopshay. Flopshay is the smallest star in Bollywood.
dharma production already made 15cr profit from different rights
Hahaha
Really sad thing is that it didnt even deserve what it has at present.
@2:48am
Fanny chechi
Y blame the director…? Akki got paid handsomely to ensure his dumb fans turn up n he didnt deliver. 52cr weekend is mediocre nowadays as even young brigade are getting close to that mark- blame for crappy business is down to joker boys extortionate fees for very little return. His star is fading quicker than the Titanic sunk…!
125cd budget n less than 80cr returns.
Thank god for BV or else this would have been biggest dud of the year.
@bhojpori babuji 11:57pm
Whats the point in earning 500cr WW if you spent 500cr to get that return…?
You buddah- producers be wise to put their money in a bank n earn interest than feed the greed of Joker Boy.
@ARJUN YOUNGISTAAN FAN nobody care your own made verdict dharma production successful films without srk are
I Hate Luv Story hit
Agneepath Super hit
Yjhd Blockbuster
2States Super hit
HSKD hit
Rest of them were not clean hits as per indicine as well as BOI
Our Joker Boy has forgotten all about Fox Star n Dharmas losses n exhibitors problems as hes already moved onto next yrs crapfests like Housefull 3 etc etc
As for Singh is Bandar- he wont promote it as he knows that that is another pile of kshitij…!
Congrats ? akshay kumar fans. Now your star has established himself as undisputed king of 80 Cr club. ?????
akshay ‘s days are now gone
Second friday 1.6 cr. Hurray! Akki should start begging.
Oh shit.@indicine slapped those idiots who said varunwaale instead of DILWALE,lol.the same time rajshri productions and other such productions destroyed by working with salman and amir,YRF/DP raised by working with KING KHAN,you can take any productions qihich repeated worked with KING KHAN becomes biggest industries of bollywood like YRF,DP,RCE ,while decade struggler poor papa’s boy salmir smashed many productions houses,lol.even jai ho is the 1st biggest failure as mentioned on 1st page with Eros followed by others,lol.
@Rew1 ! don’t worry. akki’s films still manged to collect 500cr world wide this year.but your scare 2ft khan and ajay will never be able to collect that much even in 3 years. specially with out Rohit sheety and Rajkumar Hirani. so wait and see.
@ Naven sister! let your scared fake khans do 4 films per year and collect that much than i will agree with you.
budget of brothers is 82 crores and it is almost about to surpas this mark.
so it will not going to be a flop but it will be only avrage in indian box office but it will be a worldwide hit.
informetion provided by incline is not perfect.
Brothers collected 52 crores by weekend that was effect of akki stardom but poor direction is dragging movie into pit. for more information please chek wikipedia not any other site.
Thank You.
