#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,
    Rohit Shettys SINGHAM(where the Characters & few Dialogues were in Marathi) Earned 100 cr. & almost 45-50 From Mumbai Circuit only.Now the BM is fully based on MARATHA Warrior(Who is respected in MH).
    My question is Can BM beat Dilwale in Bombay Circuit or not??

  • Regional markets in south like in Tamilnadu, Kerala are not so great for Bollywood due local film industry. But the local films stared making 100 core. Nowadays Marathi film industry is growing. Is this threatening to Bollywood. Also please tell about Bengali and other industry busyness.
