Baaghi has surpassed all expectations on Day 1 at the box office. The film has not only managed to beat Akshay Kumar’s Airlift, but has also matched the business of Shah Rukh Khan’s FAN in quite a few mass circuits.
The opening is phenomenal when you consider the fact that the film did not have a chartbuster song and Baaghi was Tiger Shroff’s second film after ‘Heropanti’. For the kind of opening that Baaghi has managed at mass centres on Day 1, films usually require the presence of an established star or chartbuster music. Baaghi had none, which is why the opening has surprised the trade.
Shraddha Kapoor’s presence might have helped the film at smaller centres, because her last few films like ‘Aashiqui 2’, ‘Ek Villain’ and ‘ABCD 2’ have performed well.
Films like Baaghi usually show a drop of around 10% in business on Saturday. But there is tremendous potential for growth at multiplexes in cities, where the occupancy was low on Friday. If business at big cities picks up on Saturday, Baaghi could show some growth, which would mean a very healthy weekend total for the film.
The Sabbir Khan directed film is now looking at weekend business of 35-40 crore, depending on how well it holds up on Saturday.
The industry has a new star in Tiger Shroff. Both his films (Heropanti and Baaghi) have opened well and the actor has also managed to carve a niche for himself in the industry. Among the younger generation of stars, very few can pull off action the way Tiger can and this will be his USP in the years to come.
#IndicineFBO: We predicted Rs 9.4 crore as the opening day collections of Baaghi. The film has collected Rs 11.87 crore. The difference between our prediction and the actual collection is 26%. We’ve had a poor record when it comes to predicting the opening day collections of films starring the younger stars in the industry. Kapoor & Sons, Ki & Ka and Baaghi were all incorrect.
@indicine why are you not mentioning the screen count for Airlift
12.35cr on just 2200 screens
Is that a joke to you???
arjun can include tussar kapoor in his youngistaan if he will give 10 crore opening.
@xzone peace out brother nothing against
Srk … You and challa are one of the best srkians that I have seen …!!!
But if you guys are talking about one sunny then there are thousands of sunny in your fan base as well … !!!
You guys use to troll akki by calling him 70 80cr star but now even srk’s film that too on non holiday is unable to go beyond 85cr …!!!!
@some buddhawala
Tiger was asked by media persons if he would consider joining your village floppystan team n his response was that he rather play for any other village idiots team but never ever for yours. Sorry but you only got Arjuna leading your batting line up n Ranbir your bowling line up…!
Plz be specific as Airlift did over 12 crores on Day 1 india nett collections
If it wasnt for the Intl Superstar Nimrat Kaur then Forklift wouldnt have even scored a double digit opening. Joker Boy needs to follow @Floppys great advice n start begging…!
The next bankable superstars are—— Ranveer Singh & Tiger Shroff.
If it had the advantage of a partial holiday like Pankha did then it would have beaten Kings maha crap also.
Tiger >>> Buddha King
Tiger is a star player now who must be kept away from the jinx that is the bengali village idiots floppistan team…!
@arjun youngistaan fan. Tu pagal hai kya? Young actors are not your property. So, leave them. Kya mera youngistaan mera youngistaan laga rakha hai. Or youngistaan mein entry ka baat kar raah hai. Jasee ki who actors nahi tera property hai.
Baghi opening day collections>>>> airlift opening day collections.
And the trend suggest lifetime collections will be higher than ‘content rich’ Fan.
Too much funnnn!!!
Better movie than Most of Salman movie.
r u joking indicine??? shraddha kapoor presence helped??
it is because of shraddha opening is great. my all friends just want watch this movies because shraddha kapoor.
If ‘content rich’ Fan would not have released on a holiday (Ram navami ( it’s opening collections would have been less than Baghi’s opening day collections..
Sure Shot Superhit ! Will beat Fan lifetime
Hahaha…. Look at the chameleonGiri of SomeBuddha Bangladeshi. Till yesterday Tiger shroff was not a part of his pungistaan. Now suddenly tiger bcm a very important part of his pungistani team as he has beaten all the established pungistanis..
Indicine i think u r over estimating tiger shroff .. Its Shraddha’s fans behine the opening n not tiger’s.. If u doubt my statement u can conduct a serve on ur site only dat who would u spend money on to see , shraddha or tiger u will see results urself.. Ur under estimating the fan following of shradha kapoor… Its a thing of sorrow dat female leads are underestimated in our country God knows why.. Looking at the trend on social media and live reaction form audiences tiger is been gaged around and him trying to look muscular is the new joke on social sites .. Even u can check on fb twitter or live reaction from audience.. Public wants to see shraddha and not tiger
I like tiger… May b weak in acting but fab in action dance and charisma… As far as acting is concern he isn’t that bad also….Se the acting skills of some of current superstars in their early days…..
Wow !!!!!!!’
and also not to forget Shraddha Kappor is bigger star now not only tiger I watch the movie because of Shraddha kappor
INDICINE, plz reply
@Deadpool 2.O hahaha corect urself xzone and challa is d worst srk fans ! Only ANK is gud here in indicine
@Deadpool 12:27 pm : I’m not even talking about Sunny as he is a born loser. Agreed, guys like Sunny exist in both the sides, but I was talking about other Akkians who shown their real face during FAN release and rejoiced it’s failure.
As far as SRKians are concerned, we have supported you the most when other fanbases used to Mock you all by quoting terms like “joker boy”, ” 60 CR star” and all.
But there is no point of talking all this now.
And I’m surprised to see that you made a “peace” appeal now, but you were a mute spectator at the time of FAN release when SRK was being bashed by your fellow mates.
So buddy, stop being Malala or Kailash Satyarthi, and let the people do/comment whatever they want.
@xzone if you are talking about many akkians who were rejoicing fan failure
Then there were many srkians who were rejoicing when Akshay sir movies like Brothers , Singh is Bling which didn’t work as per expectations…!!!
I m no intellectual who would give you gyaan ….!!!! Akshay and SRK are self-made
Superstars …!!!
And if you are talking about support then pls go back during dilwale time where many akkians supported srk a lot…!!!
Even I support srk in eid clash (if it happens) …..
somegunda Mukherjee is a king of chameleons … i hate Arjun kapoor because of him …. In new gen actors only ayushman and ranveer (ranbir is not included in it) knows how to act … somegunda idiot thinks himself that he is a star commentator of indicine … he needs a hit on his head
@ xzone at 1:44 pm : Superb comment. Totally with u brother. Good to see u giving them back. You are the true leader of the SRK fan club here. Hoping Challa also returns.
At the time of release of fan they all had shown their true colours. Negativity from Salman fans was always expected. But not only them but all the akki fans (and am sure they created a huge number of fake ids like yogi etc.), hrithik, amir and ajay fans. With one or two exceptions.
It is pathetic to see some of them now talking about this fake unity and peace.
At least Salman fans are much much better compared to akki, hrithik and ajay fans coz u at least know they have one agenda and will not be changing colors with time.
To be honest, I used to (and who didn’t) critize Tiger for his looks and dialogue delivery. But now I have realised that his dialogue delivery grows on you. It’s perfect for his persona. Loved Heropanti, yet to watch Bhagi.
Amir Khan had said in Dhoom 3 press meet that Tiger is a future superstar. Though he may have said that under Jackie’s influence. But still his statement had a bit of truthfulness.
@ank:
@xzone:
We Bhai fans don’t show any kind of mercy to those idiots and always show them their real AUKAAT. Even during Fan’s days we continued it. But sometimes you guys join your hands with them against we Bhai fans. Iski SAJA toh bhugatnihi thi!!!
Can’t understand how could you forgive/forget that someBuddha chameleon kapur despite his relentless blabbering from multiple I’ds during Dilwale release??? During Kick days he made a few anti Bhai comments and still suffering for that mistake (though that was nothing compared to what he did during Dilwale..!!
@Xzone on fire!!!
