Highlights of Bollywood 2015:
Highest Opening Day: Salman Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan holds the record for the highest opening day collections of 2015 (27.25 cr). No other film has come close to challenging the first day total set by the film. Salman’s Prem Ratan Dhan Payo is almost certain to beat that total when it releases on the Diwali holiday later this year. It’ll be interesting to see if Shah Rukh Khan’s Dilwale beats the 27.25 cr figure to take the highest opening non-holiday for 2015. It’ll be difficult because ‘Bajirao Mastani’ is releasing on the same day, which also happens to be a working day.
Highest Opening Weekend: Salman’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan also holds the record for the highest first week this year. The film collected Rs 102.6 crore in its first 3 days. PRDP has more than a good chance of surpassing this figure, even though Sunday doesn’t come in the first 3 days (PRDP releases on Thursday, 12th November). The only other non-Salman film that has a chance is SRK’s Dilwale.
Highest First Week: It’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan again. The film collected Rs 184.65 cr in its first week. The outstanding word-of-mouth helped big time. Both PRDP and Dilwale will have to carry similar reports to challenge the first week total of the Kabir Khan directed film.
Highest Grosser: Will Bajrangi Bhaijaan (Rs 321 crore) remain the biggest grosser of 2015? Or will the two other obvious choices go on be the highest grosser of 2015. That’s the big question as we head towards two of the most important months of the year – with two major weekends in Diwali and Christmas.

- Biggest Disaster - Bombay Velvet (lost nearly 100 crore of its investment)

@Rakesh Roshan 01:04 pm : Really? Nope , sadly it’s not only about respect, its about getting some moral support for your criminal. I don’t think any body hates Amir (except few people as exceptions will always be there). He has and has earned enough respect Till now. But since every action has a reaction, SRK fans would have been forced to bash Amir when Amir fans would have spoken something bad about SRK and vice versa. But no need to mention that you criminal fans were behind this whole propaganda just to degrade SRK using Amir’s name. And now when you are seeing that both Amir and SRK fans are ready to compromise, you insecure morons are burning till the core as your fake psudo devotedness towards Amir is about to be revealed.
And there is no question of hate for Ajay and Bhansali/Ranveer. You hate someone who is standing at your level. But the names which you have mentioned above have been already thrashed by SRK multiple times in past. So I don’t see any need of SRK fans being insecure and jealous about above personalities.
@Mohammed Illiyas 01:35 am : abe which ranking you are talking about? They have just gave a summary till October. Whatever movies have been released and what was their collection. I believe in their rankings and verdicts, unlike you loons who question their loyalty and authenticity every now and then. So before advising me, kindly pack your bag and leave before me.
@iamAKN 01:44 am : Thanks bro for keeping my words. Let’s not target Amir (who was involved just because these double standard criminal fans) and we’ll only react if any of his known fans are commenting bad about SRK.
Please be aware of chameleons though as they will still try instigating the fan war between SRK and Amir fans.
@xzone u seems like a senisible user but stop bashing salman bcoz he is replacing srk in bollywood this is the really insecurity & just tell me who is better actor amir or Srk????who is box office king amir or srk????
ur ans will clear everything & Try & explain every srk fan to admit amir is a global star & a better actor than srk…
If u stop bashing amir that doesnt mean u respect amir ,…ur & Every srk fans word should show it by praising amir what he desearve

@Suchit : Go to this page and see :-
http://www.indicine.com/movies/bollywood/20-years-before-and-after-srk-and-kajol-ddlj-once-again
I told you, I have never seen SRK fans initiating a war since I made my come back. And a loser called ‘Legend Amir Khan’ uses Amir name to bash SRK on every SRK related article, though I have never seen him commenting on Amir articles. Now, this is where it goes wrong. SRK fans will reply to these losers and then it grows further.
@sss : Do you want me to prove your stupidity n your illiteracy again ?? Better zip your mouth for your own good else lunatic chuhe you call Munna Bhai series as Manipulatied n praise don series. It shows your mentality n upbringing who likes Criminal series compare to Gandhi giri !!!!!!
@xzone : If I am pretending to be an intellectual then what are you doing to do here ? I am neither a saint nor an intellectual. I am a common man of this country and avid watcher of Hindi movies hence I am visiting this site, I dont go around every SRK article and spout like you. In recent times, there are number of SRK articles which I didnt even comment but if you keep spouting about Salman then you will get the tit for tat which involves bashing of your idol as well !!!!!!! So better back off and learn to respect. If you act as an adamant then we also know how to give it back !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@xzone : bro
aamir fans will never learn. will keep bashing SRK. like they did on other recent posts.
@1:23 pm, I will try to tell all of them to stop and if they still do, than I will bash them.
@Rakesh Roshan 12:49 pm/ 12:58 pm : Nope, I’m not a sensible user and I would not wish to be called as ‘sensible’ in future too !
And yeah, there is no insecurity at all from criminal khan. If his stardom would have been an issue then I would have targeted Amir rather targeting Salman as currently, amir is reigning the box-office. But , if criminal is there in my hit list, there are two reasons :
1. I don’t like him personally. For me , he is a fake person who does everything just to remove the black spot from him (due to hit-and-run as well as chinkara case).
2. I can keep my personal hatred apart and stop bashing him. But the second and most prominent reason is his cheap and insecure fans. May be, at times you all will talk nice but I have seen his fans commenting about SRK till such a cheap extent, which I can’t even tell here. I’m very old visitor of indicine and before, there was no moderation system and readers used to post their comments directly. You should have seen their comments at that time. They didn’t even spare SRK’s family. And yeah I’m not telling I’m a saint. I gave them properly then also, giving now too and will continue to give in future as well.
@Mohammed Illiyas 03:29 pm : Does it make any difference if you don’t visit SRK related article? Go and see the comments of your fellow criminal fans. Two articles published featuring DDLJ today . And you will find around 50% comments of criminal fans on those articles. I bet you, the day when there won’t be a single comment against SRK from a criminal fan, I’ll stop visiting Salman khan related articles. But if they are adamant (and I know they will never change) , then I’ll also continue bashing criminal and his fans. So don’t think that I’ll wait for your negative comments first and then I’ll reply you accordingly. Nope !! I’ll come and bash from the front. And yeah, If you are not visiting SRK articles, you are not doing a favour or something on me. I invite you. Come, visit, comment, get bashed and then go back.
Last but not the least, I’m neither intellectual nor sensible. Let challa, yymithaiwala, the phenom etc handle that department.
@xzone : It is up to you. Even I am not here to make friends but to have some fun. You are right in your own way by defending your idol and I am right on my part however some people never want Salman-SRK fans to be live in peace. This may go on and on even after both actors retires, such is the legacy they will leave behind. I know you will not agree with me due to your hatred towards Salman and his fans !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@xzone If u r that much concern they why only amir fans why nt ajay fans ,hrikit fans & Even salman fans..why this double standard,..
me too a old user of #indicine may b nt older than u but hav seen srk fans repeately bashing salman for everything…i started well but srk fans alwys buged me with cheap language & I m just giving them back ….
fact is that amir & Salman fans giving u a tough time so u want to put a divide & Rule stategry ….bcoz if d real concern is bashing then u should tell every1….i never bash srk when reply to a senisible srk fan who wont bash salman or any other actor…
but can check my reply to @sss & @imakkan u know why…
KYON KI SAWAL JIS JAWAN ME KIYA JAYE JAWAB V USI JAWAN PE DIYA JAYE…

@Rakesh Roshan 12:46/12:47 am : Hehehe sir , I don’t use all these tactics like ‘divide and rule’ etc. Many times I have said I don’t want any support, even of SRK fans. I’ll do whatever I feel like, I comment whatever comes into my mind. No matter how much ever, readers at indicine hate me.
I have immense respect for Ajay as well, but you would have noticed an Ajay fan ‘Ajay rocks’ used to bash SRK continuously. I requested him, warned him, pleaded him some 3-4 times that please don’t bash SRK if there is no mention of Ajay on a given article. But he took me that as my weakness and he replied that stop crying. You see the irony? If you will tell something out of respect, people take that as your weakness. Well, post that I have started bashing Ajay because that moron was not ready to listen and I didn’t have other options left. Same is the case here.
I don’t want to bash Amir just because of his fans, because I respect him as an actor and as a person. So I’m contentiously trying to pacify his fans. But as I told before if I won’t see any fruitful result coming from my efforts, then I’ll have to start at the end, because I’ll defend SRK at any cost.
And you spoke about other actors, I’m telling you, its applicable for all. Whosoever fans are initiating (irrespective of the actor), I’ll pay them back.
Buin case of Salman, situation has been gone out of control and this will go uglier with every passing day as they are clashing on Eid.
As @Hrithik said, they are leaving such a legacy behind, that these fights will continue even after they retire.
So just enjoy these light hearted fights but make sure you don’t hurt someone’s personal sentiments just to defend your star. Cheers ;-)
Next year 2016 is d most crucial for all actors in terms of breaking box office records.
