#AskIndicine: Live Question and Answer session begins at 3PM

#AskIndicine at 3PM

Post your questions in the comments section below. 10 questions will be answered 3PM (Indian Standard Time) onwards.

Q. How has Tamasha performed in overseas markets?

A. Tamasha has done well in the overseas markets. The two-day business, including paid previews, is around Rs 14-15 crore (without including Saturday collections from North America). Weekend business should cross the $4 million mark. Ranbir and Deepika have a fairly good following overseas and Imtiaz Ali films also get a good opening outside India.

Q. Rate the ‘Bajirao Mastani’ Theatrical trailer, with negatives and positives – Raghav

A. 9 on 10. Fantastic trailer. Positives would be the massive scale, grandeur, war scenes, performances from the lead cast, promises to be a visual treat on the big screen. Negatives, trailer should have been shorter and VFX wasn’t upto the mark in a few scenes.

Q. You had written in your Tamasha Box office article that Ranbir and his fans would be hoping Sanjay Dutt biopic goes on the floor soon. Do you think the film can open well enough to sustain in longer run (assuming the trailer of the film is impressive) because this is neither a sequel to a super-hit film (like Lage Raho Munna Bhai) nor does it have a superstar backing (like Aamir in 3 Idiots and PK) – Gaurav

A. Rajkumar Hirani is a superstar director. His value to a film is probably as much or more than a big star, because not only will his films get a good initial at the box office, but also sustain well enough to do well in the long run – assuming that he continues to be in the same form as his last 4 films. He has already promised that ‘Sanjay Dutt biopic’ would be the most entertaining film of his career and irrespective of the star cast, it would be the most awaited film of the year that it releases in. The only non-superstar and non-franchise film that he directed was ‘Munnabhai M.B.B.S’ and that was his debut film. In short, even if Hirani happens to cast a debutant actor, his film should still easily manage a 15-20 crore opening.

Part 2: Which movie has the higher buzz – Dilwale or Bajirao Mastani?

  • @indicine why a big director is nothing without a big actor for e.g. without srk rohit shettys highest grosser is singham returns collected 141 cr and kabir khan without salman highest grosser is phantom just 45cr

  • Prdp budget is 80 cr show many site including wikipedia ..now movie collect 420 cr ww ..!! If movie budget really 80 cr then how much collect for verdict blockbuster ..!!

  • @sandeep
    Is ka jawab me de deta hn.No srk wouldnot be able to cross 500crs(if Raees vs sultan happens).The wom like BB is very difficult for any movie.Secondly BB and PRDP both released in Festive season and festive releases saved PRDP.Film like HNY and PRDP manged to cross 200crs just because of Diwali release otherwise both were carrying negative wom.Now next year FAN is non-holiday releases with a different genre which may click and which may be rejected.And Raees is clashing with Sultan.400cr+ is the best figure and thats too if both films receive positive reception.With wom like HNY,PRDP no chance

  • Why r u not posting article about prdp 2nd week ..nd also its break many lifetime collection …in case srk movie u always update ..?

  • Can Dilwale break Chennai Exptess’ life time record? if yes even with clash, then solo release might have put all records in danger at Boxoffice, isn’t it ??? what’s the budget of Dilwale and how much should it need to collect to be declared as blockbuster??? Thank you.

  • What is the response to the teaser,songs and theatrical trailer of Bajirao Mastani amongst the general movie going audience and the trade?

  • Is tamasha movie will be turning point of ranbir career? What will be lifetime collection of tamasha? Can it be hit??

  • Tamasha will be a FLOP…!…

    @indicine … My question is why does a multiplex film even if its bad grows on Saturday???…

    I think next day is a holiday thatswhy…!…

    I don’t think same growth can be emulated on Sunday… Becoz of new term in trade called Pre-Minday effect…!!…

  • How much should DILWALE need to collect in order to be declared as All Time Block Buster or Blockbuster??? Just a simple question hope you will answer, Thank you

  • It’s known fact Varun is a much bigger and anticipated actor compared to Akshay. my question is when Dilwale Verdict finally comes out will Varun also be credited with that box office number? or only Srk. if Yes For Varun then automatically you now Compare Ranveer with Akki similar box office records they share too. Is it not high time he quits? Already he can’t achieve records and awards his peers from 90s had already achieved way back. What is next for this already fading star? harsh truth what’s your take? His acting is old fashioned or is his acting not really at par with his 90s peer groups?

  • @indicine you hardly ignore my comments. My question is, Shah Rukh King
    has been involved in clashes since 1990s
    He is having a tough one next year. Which clash actually gave him a run for its money? is it Ashoka or Sos and why the contrast?

  • Currently which are the current top 10 hindi movies on imdb having the best ratings. how many Khans Covers the top 10 and can you rank them in order. thanks 9-7.5 I presume. You know better.

  • Sir,Please clear us what would be Screens count fr Dilwale? And what would be ratio of Bajirao mastani nd Dilwale?
    Now a big movie TAMASA earns only 2100 Screens in India.

  • I want Salman to win avatars this year. Which do you think is more recognized and of higher Status. Film fare or National. why is it Srk never Won National Award but loads of filmfare. Any sophisticated criteria ? Any chance Salman bagging National this year?

  • I am observing unusual behavior of salman fans these days.they are quoting koimoi,wikipedia,priducer figures etc.Why bhai fans why?Where is your regard for PAPA BOI?haha the day BOI declared budget of PRDP is 180cr I havent heard anyone saying HR,Srk did manipulation etc?Haha why bhai fans why?It is clear that PRDP will not cross 200cr as per BOI they stopped talking about manipulation and stuff like that?why bhai fans why?The day they realized that PRDP will have difference of 20cr+ between producer and BOI figures they stopped giving reference of BOI?Why bhai fans why?This is start bhai fans BOI showed ist weekend of HNY as 97 cr in start and now 93 crs,they will give you this Jhakta as well.I hope you wouldnot use BOI reference again.

  • Fan is releasing on 25 th april after 5 months.It is also the most awaited film of 2016.Both its teasers were superb.Also background music when heard gives u goosebumps.Its vfx also seem to be excellent.Also the film has much emotions.Srk acting is luking award winning.So my question can it collect more thn 200 crores though it is releasing on a non-holiday???Thnx!!

  • Is It True That Bajirao Mastani Budget Is Over 125Crs?? Then How Much Business Must It Do In India To Recover Budget?? Do You Think It Can Recover The Budget??
