#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?
And @Indicine,
Don’t you think having a team of good or very good supporting casts/co-actors and heavy promotions also lead to a big opening at the BO besides a superstar starring in it?
If you don’t think so, what’s your take on it?
Besides, last year you said HNY was released in 5,000 screens. How can you say it was released in 4,000 Screens today? Why so?
dilwale fan and raees estimate collection pls?
What will be maximum first day box office collections of Dilwale
With RCE venturing into distribution with dilwale, is it a win-win situation for them since they both are the producers and distributors and whatever the collection, it will be profitable to them since there is no share for the distributors? Correct me if i am wrong.plz answrr this time.mi have posted it thrice now
Which actor has highest fan following in India ? not with rest to box office because there are many people who can’t aford to go to cinema but they do have personel liking n are fans of any celebrity or superstar ??? so answer plzzz
@indicine answer plzzzzz…..Beside Dilwale and Bajirao Mastaani, which south film will clash at 18 December?
Indicine , Do you think less number of screens mean more probability of movies running above 90% occupancy?
For example Dilwale & Bajirao Mastani clash would definetly lead to both movies eating few screens of the
other movie , So do you think that this could be a blessing in disguise for both the movies?
As tickets would not be availabe easily for both the movies which is quite not the case in modern box office as a big movie get 4000
screens release and tickets for the movie are easily available on the first day itself?
So what do u have to say about this? Lesser screen , higher craze , more demand , better trend? It will
also ensure good pre-booking
throughout the first week and not just
first weekend?
Awaiting reply
How much maximum can go the first day box office collections of Dilwale????
What’s the budget of PRDP? Is it a Super Hit or a Blockbuster? Where does the collections stand today? What’s the verdict?
You guys say the budget of PRDP is around 120 Crores excluding Salman fees as he has taken around 50 Crores from satellite rights as his fees.
So, 120 + 50 (Satellite) = 170 Crores
So, because you have included (the satellite earnings) 50 crores in the budget (which should not be the case),
should not the BO Nett earnings of PRDP be this way:
210 Crores (assuming its BO earnings as of today) + 50 Crores = 260 Crores nett????
why are verdicts of different sites not equal for a film ? in the jan 2011 issue of stardust Joginder Tuteja said Chal Mere Bhai to be average but u give its verdict as flop?
Can dilwale Surpass Bajarangi bhaijaan record ?
BM has only got 11 single screens in West Bengal.. Most are booked by Dilwale.. and same must be case all over India.. so do u think BM can manage 1500+ screens all over india?? since Dilwale is getting possibly 3000+ screens all over India…
It is confirmed by redchillies that dilwale wouldrelease at 5600screens worldwide.is it true?also how many views dilwale and bm trailer has got in your page respectively,plz tell?
@ Indicine- who was main villain between recent Aamir khan’s intolerence incident-
(a) Aamir khan
(b) Media
(c) India, indian public
(d) government
(e) others
Dhoom3’s Budget was reported 150-175 cr, but was declared ATBB at 280 cr
Budget of Kick was 125+ , still blockbuster
Same with CE
When budget of PRDP is 100 cr, why it isn’t blockbuster after 200+ cr ?
what will be the first day collections of airlift ?can akshay repeat the sucess of 2007 in 2016 bcz his four next films looks promising .
do you think Salmans Ready is inspired by Ben Jonson’s play The Alchemist?
Why should we trust your b.o numbers indicine???
I hope you answer this…..u don’t ans any of my qstns even though my questions r unlike others
How come a non-actor like John Abraham (Strictly as per general perception though, i find his acting pretty good) is able to give back to back BO hits and Good scritpted movies like RACE2, HouseFull2, Welcome Back, shoot out at Wadala, Force, Madras Cafe; also lined up good movies like HP2, Roccky handsome etc. Atleast John movies are always good to watch with very less non-sense stuff in recent times unlike movies like Shaandar, Bullet raja, Bombay Velvet etc. But Actors who are considered much better than him (Again as per general perception) Shahid, Ranbir, Saif are struggling to deliver a Hit movie.
Does this suggest John has a good script sense Or he just has better connection inside bollywood. Or simple he is just luckier than his contemporaries. Please have a analysis of John’s career in comparison with his immediate competitors. I am sure everybody going to be surprised by the amount of success this man has achieved when every one still thinks he is an non-actor…………….
With RCE venturing into distribution with dilwale, is it a win-win situation for them since they both are the producers and distributors and whatever the collection, it will be profitable to them since there is no share for the distributors? Correct me if i am wrong.plz answer????
