Bang Bang beats Salman’s Jai Ho and Akshay’s Holiday in 6 days

Even though Bang Bang was competing against a critically acclaimed film like Haider, the Siddarth Anand film has managed to beat the lifetime business of Salman Khan’s Jai Ho and Akshay Kumar’s ‘Holday: A Solider Is Never Off Duty’ in less than 6 days after its release in theatres.

The fact that the film had a couple of holidays in its first weekend did help.

Bang Bang also took less than 5 days to go past 2 States and Ek Villain, the 6th and 7th highest grossers of the year so far.

The Hrithik Roshan action film should go on to be the 2nd highest grosser of the year after Kick. By the end of the year, Bang Bang could be at No 4, as the highest grosser for a film released outside the festive weekend – i.e assuming Happy New Year and P.K perform upto expectations and Action Jackson doesn’t exceed!

Top 10 Highest Grossers of 2014 (Net India collections)

  • Kick – 232 cr
  • Singham Returns – 139 cr
  • Bang Bang – 119 cr
  • Holiday – 113 cr
  • Jai Ho – 112 cr
  • 2 States – 102 cr
  • Ek Villain – 101 cr
  • Gunday – 78 cr
  • Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania – 75 cr
  • Entertainment – 72 cr

  • @Anand_the Unoriginal…

    Salman fans were also predicting Jai Ho to beat Dhoom 3s record.. By num of screens Jai Ho uad a higher screen count….
    Dnt bring Budget here.. Budget never influences people’s choice to watch a movie…

    @Sami, What lame comparisions, Jai Ho was released on 4000 Screens & was expected t break Dhoom 3 record… Yet it grossed so low..

    @Rahul, in that case CE earned due to Deepika, Rohit, Dhoom 3 due to Franchise & kat. KICK due to Nawaz & Randeep…
    Idiot no one is praising Kat’s acting skills… The films USP was Hrithik & Hrithik nly…
    Keep Barking Haters..

  • @hrfan boi says other versions around 3cr max which takes boi collections for all versions to 104cr.So 15cr difference already in 6days

  • @zeeshan: only with Roshan movies? ? There have been controversies with collection with JTHJ,RA1 too. Yes, thd controversy became too bigger at the time of k3. But for bang bang , it’s normal.
    Producers: 120 crores(with regional)
    boi: 101 crs(without regional)
    so difference between lifetime collections would be around 20crores max. We see it in almost all biggies. But who cares about that anti-hrithik site BOI. .

  • @indicine superb article but u should also mention bo verdicts apart from collection.jai ho is a failure,bb maximum hit,entertainment failure,holiday hit,2 statea villain humpty singham superhit and kick epic blockbuster

    thank u

  • i think dos ppl follow d stats of boi dey r d most dumbest ppl one cn ever see

    boi alwayz show less collections than deir actuals

  • @Indicine, Isn’t release 1 Oct or 2 Oct movie in Tollywood or kollywood? So why bang bang got 700 screen in south? Can you explain me?
    I’m not hater of HR. HR and Akki 2nd fav.

  • Great answer @Indicine…..it can’t get any better. @Aeeyy (and all like him) stop crying over tamil, telugu collections.
    Yes Bang Bang has not performed as expected. But still these are very good collections. Infact the collections truly reflect the super stardom of Hrithik. Whatever BB has collected is solely because of him

  • Bang Bang is a pathetic movie Hrithik why you did this you lost your respect of Dhoom 2 you were awesome but now its like you are second Salman of Kick and Bang Bang is like Kick 2 huge disappointment.

  • bangbang creating records overseas wow…now haters r burning….create negativity as much as u can…but d fact is people r luving dis muvi…already saw it 5 times nd d audience response is just overwhelming everytime

  • @hr fan u earlier said that bang bang 300cr. before the release…250cr. before the release…200cr. when movie got mixed reviews…and now 150-170cr. how foolish.!!! i think u r a big idiot…and haider deserve 100cr. collection not in 5 days but atleast in lifetime everyone know…

  • @hr fan The maximum difference should be about 10 percent of the lifetime collections like in Ce, kick.In ETT it was even lesser.But in case of bang bang,it seems to be increasing day by day

  • finally i watched it yesterday..
    to be honest – i found it average fair.
    not too bad not too good.
    i said average only coz of the reason that teaser nd the trailer had generated a huge expectations nd i didnt found the movie on that level but ya its okk it is a fair one time watch.
    now as per boxoffice is concerned – i am still not understanding the clear verdict of audience as on sunday it didnt show any major jump but still it hold well on tuesday so i think today nd thursday will clear the picture.
    so far the business is good considering the competition from haideer nd the way haider got good reviews,performance of bang bang is still fair enough.
    btw i m glad to see that bangbang did reasonably well in overseas also.
    so hope for the best hr fans.
    still 2 weeks to go till happy new year,,bangbang can clear as much as possible.
    fingers crossed.

  • All Khan fans except few are trying their best to bring down the movie
    Still it is doing good business
    Stop ur nonsense otherwise khan’s movies are coming

  • @aeyy indicine is comparing only this year’s movies not for past Year’s…

    and bang bang is a super hit…

    I gave it ****stars…

    even I m shocked who r those who are giving it negative comments.. they are like u .
    even indicine bang bang deserves ***stars from u…

    bang bang is the most beautiful looking picture.. even if its lacking in story.. despite its a hugely entertaining cinema…

    take a bow HR and Kat….

  • Kudos to d star power of HR that made a below average movie like bang bang a success .. Hrithik’s action movie crossed d lifetime collection of bhaijaans masala movi in less than a week.Hrithik is now officially bigger star dan salman

  • @Dev Hr was never ….is never ….nd ll be never close to 3 Khanz…He was always the 2nd best after Khanz trio…. nd ll remain 2nd best or not time ll tell az Rk is gearing up …to challenge Hr…….

  • @sachin6666 where i m telling bang bang earned just because of only katrina i mean to say that katrina,s starpower should ensure atleast 50to 60cr and then due to hr starpower so in that case even 100cr is difficult even with holidays for hrithik also his last movie was 1year ago so its pretty clear hrithik is in the league of akshay so don,t compare him with khans next time.

  • @ indicine but if kick is a remake how can they release with south indian languages. its buisness also affected by original so can we consider ravi teja’s kick’s south indian business as salman’s kick’s business. plz lingual movie with only hindi movie. and if u want compare then take only hindi collection.

  • @indicine y r u ignoring haider?is it a box office disater that it deserves complete ignorance!I bet my life that haider will b a bigger hit than bang bang

  • atleast Akki’s film was a hit…Jai ho miserably flopped in boxoffice………salman is nowhere near to Hritik…forget SRK & aamir

  • Hro fans are most irritating they still think k3 collected 244cr. I hate that bournvita boy he is best to manipulate the collection… Accept it idiots Hro is manipulating king. BOI is most trusted site. just wait and watch people, there will be 40 to 50cr difference between official and BOI .
    Todenge manipulate collection Indiawale…

  • Gunday n Mary Kom r the best movies i have seen so far in 2014 then comes Haider Qween 2states Mardaani Ek villain Highway hasee to phase kick Bang Bang singham returns holiday citylights humpty Jai ho heropanti hate story 2 main tera hero……

  • @nivin pauli hahaha… what a joke i think u r dreaming just wake up are u forget 5 back to back blockbuster. so just take this and get lost.

  • look at these bournvita fans they are jumping like kid that it is cross jai ho hahaha u guys are really childish who is happy with just lollypop jai ho was a non holiday with worst director,worst trailer,worst music,worst heroine,worst controversy about salman all are worst of jai ho except salman but it iw able to collect 100cr and get atleast u guys just think about ur star who is suffering for hit even with top heroine ,5holidays hahahahaha shame on u u joking on urself.

  • @Zeeshan, only two movies of HR has controversies regarding collections…

    1) Krrish 3.. BOI Site was a major site but post 2010 it got all its viewers thanks to its laziness..
    It needed something to get back in the news during its relaunch.. The nly big film during that time that could Git it enough attention was K3… So it did all it could and got Succesfull thanx to haters for whom, all of a sudden, it became the best site for BO collectionz..

    2) Bang Bang, except stupid BOI & haters everybody agrees to above mentioned figures.. Including some of the major Hollywood sites like Box office mojo, Deadline,, Rentrak..

    Keep Barking haters…
