Our Question and Answer section has become quite popular. We receive hundreds of questions every single day, but cannot answer all of them. The problem is, while most questions are repetitive, we cannot answer several others that are too specific (like questions on release date), too personal or funny!
So here’s introducing a fun new QnA section called the rapid-fire round. 10-12 questions with quick to-the-point answers. Through this section, we hope to entertain you too, but we do not mean to offend stars or their fans!
Q. If SRK’s Fan releases September this year (Bakri Eid) will it cross 300 crore? As Singh Is Bling, Rocky Handsome will release after 1 week?
A. It’s funny how people throw around these numbers. Only one film in the history of Indian Cinema has crossed 300 crore and it took nearly 3 open weeks (without any other major release) to do so.
Q. Shahrukh, Aamir, Salman.. who is the best actor and who is Indicine biased towards?
A. Irrfan Khan.
Q. Can Avengers 2 break the record created by Furious 7 in Indian Box Office?
A. It will be difficult. ‘Fast and Furious’ is a popular franchise in India and the emotion around Paul Walker’s unfortunate and untimely death, helped the film big time.
Q. Can you tell me 11 day total box office collection of ‘Gabbar Is Back’?
A. We do not have astrologers in our team. Yes, #IndicineFBO has been accurately predicting opening day collections, but that involves a lot of research.
Q. Who has a better comic timing? Aamir or Akshay? I like both of them but still want to know your opinion.
A. We’d pick Akshay Kumar. He’s been terrific in comedy films. Loved Aamir in films like Andaz Apna Apna and Ishq too.
Q. What maybe the saturation level at which the number of screens stop increasing?
A. India is a huge country and we are one of the most under-screened countries in the world! United States has 129 screens per million, Europe has around 42 per million and India only has about 13 screens per million people. About 150-200 new screens are coming up every year, so the screen count should continue to increase!
Q. Did Aamir Khan deserved the Best Actor award for following films… Ghajni (Hrithik- Jodha Akbar), 3 Idiots (Amitabh- Paa), PK (Shahid- Haider)?
A. Aamir was absolutely brilliant in PK. Flawless performance. Award-deserving for sure, but Shahid was terrific in Haider too.
Q. Why don’t Bollywood big stars and big production houses try a hand at horror flicks?
A. Horror films have a very limited market in India. The biggest of horror blockbusters had to sell sex to do well at mass centres.
Q. Which film out of Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Dilwale, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo is biggest contender of highest grosser of the year?
A. On paper, Dilwale is easily the biggest film. Huge star cast, Rohit Shetty as director, universal appeal and best release period of the year.
Q. What things would add up for making Bombay Velvet’s opening huge?
A. Nothing from what we have seen so far, trailers and promos haven’t worked. But Bombay Velvet should still take a decent opening because of Ranbir Kapoor.
@hrithik,oh yeah really?then better you research history and find bhai’s existence before 2010 with out multistarrer movies! If that almost career finished non actor can give hits after 10 year then why we can’t hope KING KHAN can’t give highest grosser.even HE almost would have given in 2013,but thanks to akki+john+ajay+BIGB who made way for dhoom3,otherwise CE would have scored 300cr on that year easily ,similarly JTHJ would have done 200cr on that year thanks to ajay who saved your bhai’s izzat on that year.
Still I can say I don’t want any highest grosser because a perfect movie can’t be highest grosser until and unless you will add masala / entertaining content manipatively like d3/pk .so what KING KHAN did that is extremely difficult for any actor ,that is to REMAIN CONSISTENT…so don’t think yourself so smart.if sachin tendulkar couldn’t make 300/400 runs in test ,that doesn’t mean HE is a kid in front of sehwag/Lara,because HE is baap of them because HE is CONSISTENT.similarly here KING KHAN is the baap of shallu+perfaketionist.likh ke lele..baap se compare na kar.WE INDIANS know 2 NAMES—-SRK(FOR CINEMA),SRT(FOR CRICKET).if anyone try to even point their fingers towards these 2 MEGA LEGENDS,WE’LL cut their fingers.so beware.don’t play with the sentiments of INDIANS.
@javed, I don’t remember srk doing any role outside of the genre called ‘crap’.oh wait!maybe some of them belong to ‘maha crap’ or ‘biggest crap’.so yeah srk is very versatile.
@hritik this is a reason why srk is the biggest superstar. People always expect from his movies to be record breaker whether it is offbeat MNIK or masala ce. But this thing is not happening with salman ( jai ho) and Amir (Talaash) despite at their best phase. This is difference between megastar (dilip kumar, amitabh, srk) and temporary superstar (dharmendra, Rajesh khanna, Amir and salman).
Akshay kumar stardum is back with brothers
Dharma production is very big production house
They give ranbir kapoor biggest hit
Yjhd

Aajkal akshay kumar content movie par jyada dhyan de raha hai or content movie jyada run karti more them masala movies
Or agar yeh jyada run karegi to doble century 200 cror puri hai
Happy new year
2500 scren opening 22 cror
Life time 100 cror
Bollywood today is so very different from HAHK and MPK days..today bollywood depends on huge openings weekends + good content to have a chance of breaking lifetime records..for now PK record look very though for all films releasing this year unless we get a classic film in hand! but for biggest grosser of the year it looks a though fight between PRDP and Dilwale but the promos music and overall looks of the films + the final outcome will decide the end results!
every yr indicine predicts srk movie highest grosser and every time their dream shattered becoz of bhai and aamir[past 2 years]
@indicine plz rply full answer for 7th question of Aamir and awards .. i have one most willngly question that everyone thinks t:i why all awards shows are showing partiality towards Aamir and showing their biasness against Aamir he is the only actor on the earth who perfectly matches his role even anytype of role he had been brilliantly done all.
Saruk most consistent? lol. Look at Atbbs from 3 different decades
Srk:
1990s:DDLJ, KKHH
2000s: zero
2010s: zero
Aamir:
1990s: RH
2000s: 3 Idiots
2010s: Dhoom 3, PK
Aamir is most consistent at giving Atbbs than 35 lakhs YLJK star.
ON PAPER dilwale can break avatar record also..on paper dilwale special screening can be done for PANDORA’S people… on paper and also on indicine srk fans r still waiting for 300cr storm..but the fact is it will not cross dhoom 3 record…
@Raj..Kajol isn’t a big star now agreed!! But remember most of SRK iconic n cult classics has been with Kajol…baazigar ddlj(uptil now in cinema)..kkkg kkhh karan arjun..etc..last MNIK is SRK most respected movie abroad. Did Kajol played supporting actress role? NO!! Talk about DDLJ kkkg baazigaar kkhh Kajol role was equally big n pls call DDLG kkhh just like how SRK name will 1st come to your mind so too Kajol Definitely!!…her star power is eternal to b poetic.. Varun 4straight hits! He got an opening of 9crores agreed but tell me if u think numbers r tiny factors then stop commenting!! Rohit highest around 100 crores? Pls big difference between 140 crores n 100crores so where r u throwing 40crores?? Yes HNy vs Chennai express…I wld opt 4 c.e any day any time!! Finally accept Rohit is d MOST successful director for this decade so no doubt he is a huge..celebrity!! His movies from 2010 -15 r all over 100crores! 4 wit AD! So reason before u comment on current status of huge star casts don’t b bias castigating or discrediting kajol rohit varun star power by just praising SRK ..
Avengers Age of the Ultron is trending better than FF7, and with holidays, children and families are going to come in good numbers.
I want srk to release fan on christmas 2016! we have to see a clash between srk and aamir to see who bigger star is? ????
@kit kat indicine take her as the astrologer she knows that rk will get national award for bv and bv will get official entry to Oscars. Take her indicine lol :)
@sss haa srk got these awards with the help of money..its better to not get any award than to buy it.Srk has never deserved to win the any of that awardaward and salman and aamir are much better than srk @bhai ka fan salman gave ready which grossed 100 CR’s and it was a comedy film BTW 1 ques When srk will give 100 cr grosser without a leading heroine and leading director and leading production company
Ans. Phattu(srk) will never dare to do something like that @arjun fan first check is your arjun is solo star or not
@ Tiger :
Okkay . For this year , Shahid > SRK (according to your equation)
Now lets talk about whole career .
Even Ranbir >> Salman .
[ Ranbir 2-0 Salman ]
Do you accept ?
What is the reason of Akhay Kumar’s Baby does not enter in the 100 Cr Club?
Aamir is Aamir…A truly talented, dedicated individual..
blind SRK fans can say such nonsensical stuff about Aamir.
@She shame shaitan (sss): Sarook should not do movies also…… After huge promotions it managed to do only 170cr
SHAME.
There Are superstars,
There Are Crowdpullers,
There Are Megastar
But There Is Only An Actor -Megastar That Is @aamir_khan
Well replied heropanti
gabbar 150 brothers 200cr singh is bling 180 back to back 150cr for akki
Eagerly waiting for king New avatar in fan, action comedy in dilwale and above all “RAEES” the historical act of srk bcZ nobody can do the movie better than king! I know haters also waiting for RAEES!!!
@phenot, that is u king fans’ logic. We bhai fans never say awards are everything, awards decide starpower..bla..bla….bla……lol.
Rohit shetty without deepika & king= 140cr(SR).
King without deepika & rohit= 116cr(ra one).
So, Rohit shetty>>>king.
Some people say deepika is not a big star, lets see some facts…..
Deepika without king=180cr(yjhd).
King without deepika=116cr(ra one).
Deepika>>>king.
#Doodh ka doodh aur paani ka paani.
@javed You want a clash between Legend Aamir and saruk?lol
Don 2= Brand+christmas= 102 crore
Dhoom 3= Brand+christmas= 285 crore
So if they both clash on christmas, Fan will do less than half the business of Dangal. Saruk will fail miserably l in front of Ace of bollywood.
@javed, it that happen then we will get even worse result than YLJK…..LOL.
Some people said king is more versatile than Irfan Khan, but in reality king yet to surpass harman baweja/jackie bhagnani in terms of versatility…..lol.
