#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.

  • If Dilwale would had a solo release does it had any chance pf becoming the highest grosser beating P.K? And if Bajirao Mastani would had a solo release does it had a chance to reach 150cr mark during Christmas .

  • Why everyone is so aware of dilwale or srk?? i almost read all the questions and 98% are related to srk- dilwale.. srk haters always crying he has no stardom like he had in 2000s. okay, then why are you so insecure about srk…

  • Who are the highest paid actors in india? Many actors have now started co-producing the movies, barring that how much they normally would charge for a movie they haven’t produced? I know its tough to predict such things as bollywood accounting system is not so transparent. I would be glad if you answer!

  • What is the average of opening weekend collections of last five films of top 3 superstars in India and overseas?

  • What are the worldwide collections of ETT, YJHD, Bang Bang, HNY and Kick ?
    Which movie collected more money in India – Ra.One or Ready including all the versions ?

  • indicine why you always say varun will attract youth for dilwale means srk cant attract youth.if srk was big star then why her dilwale need other reason to attract crowd like srk-kajol pair,director is rohit shetty and varun dhawan.why srk cant attract people on her name.he is not a brand like salman?

  • In the last 30 years which superstar has given the most number of ‘biggest opening weekend grosser of the year’?

  • Q: After the trailers of BM & Dilwale one can easily say that when it comes to cinematography and magnitude BM has an edge over Dilwale? Will that change Box Office Collections for dilwale?

  • @Anand, the answer is simple. Because HNY had srk and PRDP had Salman. That itself speaks the difference. Because any day, any time, Srk >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Salman since 1992. Got that? Now don’t ask again.

  • @indicine there are less chances that bm will collect more than dilwale but if bm collect more than dilwale then it is shame for dilwale as srk is much bigger star then ranvir

  • bajirao mastani budjet is nearly 130-150 cr..do u can’t think that it is very hard for team to recover its cost in clash with dilwale…even if they got solo release predict maximum collection is in a range of 150-160 cr…it is risky movie for SLB and EROS?

  • What should akshay kumar do to make his films to cross 200 crores what’s the reason that his films are ending on 85 crores? Sam

  • After watching a fantastic teaser of Airlift. what would you expect from Airlift? and what about the buzz for its trailer on 16 December and also a song releasing on 5 December. can it will cross 100 cr?

  • @Indicine do you think the buzz and craze of Raone was never seen before of a bollybood film? Raone’s crazz was everywhere in my town ,I haven’t seen this type of crazz for a film . Recent time Dilwale’s crazz is all time high but not a level of Raone.Can you tell me top 10 films according to their buzz and crazz amongst the audience ? Indicine plz ans me
