Bajrangi Bhaijaan: Biggest television event of 2015, beats cricket matches

Salman Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan has emerged as the biggest television event of 2015. The Kabir Khan directed film, which premiered on 11th October, has gone on to beat the viewership of all live sporting events (including IPL and other cricket matches), fiction / non-fiction television shows and all other televised events this year.

Talking to Bombay Times, Salman thanked the audience for their love towards the film

“On behalf of the cast and crew of Bajrangi Bhaijaan, I thank viewers for the love that they have given this film by first watching it in large numbers in theatres and now, in their homes. ” Salman said.

Hemal Jhaveri of Star India, was overwhelmed by the response to the film

“We are overwhelmed with the response. We knew that an iconic film like Bajrangi Bhaijaan will surely deliver exceptional viewership but these numbers are truly beyond our expectations. This movie is a reinforcement of our promise of being the only true home of blockbusters and a validation that our strategy is aligned with the viewers’ demands”

Bajrangi Bhaijaan is also the most watched Hindi film on television in the last few years, beating the previous record of 3 Idiots.

  • Salman is not just the name of a Bollywood Superstar. Salman Khan is a dream, a hope and religion for those who love cinema.

  • What has happened to television audience??

    Instead of watching thrilling cricket matches , they are watching this shambling manipulative film..

    Agreed it did 300cr , but it was due to Harshali and Kabir Khan.
    Salman bhai will remain a 3rd lead or 2nd lead actor throughout overshadowed by Nawaz..

  • in most salman films salman has satellite rights for himself…
    star paid huge amount fr salmans faith n they gt historical trp….
    meanwhile PRDP hasnt shown glimpses of comedy action stunts etc..bt im sure it will still break records reason SULTAN OF BOLLYWOOD..

  • Salman bhai by seeing his films success on TV has planned to give Tv serial type film Prem Ratan Driver Paayo…

    PRDP will not be successful n it will do just around 180cr biz.. Tamasha will easily surpass PRDP..

    Bajrangi bhaijaan was a fluke.

  • wen megastar salman meets great content…
    no cricket match .. world cup … earthqueck.. tsunami.. baahubali drishyam.. non holyday pre eid…
    nothing cn stop him…

  • BB is creating new records one after other . BB has beaten the TRP of 3 Idiots that is a huge thing because it held the record for 6 years . But BB has got the most amount of TRP in 2015 because IPL is losing popularity and the performance of the Indian Team has not been up to the mark this year . Its good to see a nice movie from Salman after a long time and i hope he continues to do more such good movies in the future . Thumbs Up to the Entire Team of BB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • it was promoted really great by Star gold…
    even in cinema hall almost in every movie a premiere promo of bajrangi bhaijaan was there..even in the interval of THE WALK they showed bajrangi bhaijaan world premier on star good i remember….

  • This year only belong to bhai don’t know why srk fan are dreaming that his movie will become higher grosser of the year when from last 7-8 years never his movies get top position

  • if there was no baahubali then 350cr would sure in the cards any way i am super happy with the overall response now time to PRDP

  • Ithink star tvs are lucky with abig films like BB,but i hate they are full repetitions. ican’t count how mony times they show dabbang,singham,ready,ready znmd and housefull series iknow all are entertaining films but stop repeating them every week.Sony max and zee cinema are ahead of them.

  • BB was beyond amaizing no words to describe the film truely a masterpeace.
    PRDP is the only film which has a chance to break BB’s record this year in all honesty

  • Our driver bhaijaan will surely get his biggest shock this diwali when PRDP will be biggest disaster.
    Tamasha will outdo PRDP

  • Star network is the best. Star gold mostly shows gd mvz at prime times on weekends. Luv the way they r currently promoting a niche film like Drishyam world TV Premiere. But my fav is UTV MOVIES. HATS off to them for multiple times telecasting off beat hits like special 26 kai po che a Wednesday etc
    but set max is a disappointment. They show south films far too much time and every 2nd week telecast Sooryavansham…!!!

  • There are stars in btown who possess their significant followings and there is the ULTIMATE RULER OF BOLLYWOOD SULTAN SALMAN KHAN who has universal appeal among all centers, corners, age groups….. In short BOLLYWOOD MEANS SALMAN KHAN AND SALMAN KHAN MEANS BOLLYWOOD
    from big screen to small screen he is the REAL KING…..

  • just one word. phenomenal. movie emerged as d biggest blockbuster ever both in India n overseas n now on tv. competition from costliest n one of the best movie of India Bahubali from the 1st day still dis much collections. incredible.

  • Jay Jay Bajrangbali
    Tod de Dushman ki Nali
    Jay Jay Bajrangbali
    Tod de @sss,@IAmAKN,@the phenom,and other salman haters ki nali

  • The movie’s humongous success should be a motivation factor for superstars to choose movies which are high on content.

  • just wait and watch for prdp too….it will bring back the new era for family entertainers…..bajrangi bhaijaan ki jai ho with lots of kick to the haters…
