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.
@ Tiger :
Bhai without masala = 0 cr (since all are masala movies)
Ranbir without masala = 180 cr (YJHD)
Ranbir >>> Bhai
#Doodh ka doodh aur paani ka paani .
@phenom, such a shitty excuse given by u, btw, can’t expect anything more from u king fans….lol.
@legend, and tiger, i want the clash to take place, then we will see who the bigger star is ! Now plz do not jump in the sky.
If not fan then ranbir kapoor should clash.
we will see the result by then, not now!
Do not cry about don 2 , yes it underperformed!
Christmas fell on sunday that’s why it collected less > also ra one’s gap badly affected don 2’s collection.
If jthj did not clash with sos it would have been highest grossing moviE of 2012.
In 2013 chennai express was not sequel see how much it collected 422 ww.
In 2014 hny with a lot of negativity surrounded around it, still collected 205 crore man get a life …. give more reasons.
In 2015 if srk release dilwale on 25th december, i will not say it will be highest grossing of the year.
@ Tiger :
Expect that kind of comments when you don’t have an answer !
lol
@javed:
101cr(jthj)+85cr(sos)= 186cr.
& ETT- 187.
RIP logic.
@phenom, king without big banner/director/heroine= 0 hits.
Tushar kapur, one hit-jeena sirf mere liye.
Tushar kapur>>>king.
King fans say if jthj not clashed with sos then it would have collected 200cr+. Acc to this logic if haider would not clashed with BB then it would have collected 200cr+……RIP KING FANS’ LOGIC.
@Sht : Dont say people call it as Srk fans. Every other fan knows Srk movies cant be highest grosser of the year !!!!!!! Big actors !!!!!! LOL
@heropanti,no,that’s not a valid answer,you said that with frustration.of KING KHAN shouldn’t have to do films according to you then salman+amir should be banned from Bollywood for doing cheapest low grade movies according to menow got it kid ,you masala film watchers will never understand what’s class actually is,even your name also signifies your standard,lol.
@leghend,why you said so.yeah megastar’s talash we’ve seenseen,it broke the record of avataravatar and it’s story thrilled so much that even president Obama said it’s dialogue in front.of everyone during isn’t tour!isn’t it,megastar’s fan?BTW clash already happened between KING KHAN and little star in 90’s.ahat vs RAM JAANE,when your poor little star got defeated,lol.so need to show YRF’S biggest brand dhoom that started by john/hr not your poor perfaketionist,lol.
Kindly say the existence of little star with out dhoom/raju hirani/south remake,ans-he is even little star than ranbir/shahid.
You said something about consistency,right?what meant by ATBB?raja hindusatni is not an ATBB,if it’s an ATBB.then OSO is also an ATBB.
Also we talked.about consistency,your little star has 11-12 hits in entire career,while KING KHAN has 11 HITS IN A ROW to compete with MEGASTAR RAJESHJI,so stay awake.waiting for disaster—-dangal pandey.waiting for another ATBB—-DILWAALE.
@tiger,kindly reply only this one question—-why salman didn’t gave a a single hit with out multistarrer/remained dlop from 2000-2009?kindly reply,if you don’t have answer then say-I quit,I’d you can’t give answer then your allegations will not be get any weightage. So don’t think yourself so smart.
@Phenom : From which angle ETT is a Masala movies. Dont just blabber for sake of argument. Back up your comments with some facts and reality. If ETT is masala then Don, Don2 are hardcore Masala in which even your king failed to give 150 crs. Now what should I call this ? Under performance of king or movie or abuse audience for not watching as many times as Dabangg !!!! Srk has never done a movie with a cop (tough one, not like 1 2 ka 4 in civil dress) role. Ask him to first do some hardcode and tough roles to prove his versatility !!!!!!
@javed : Living in clash land where Srk movies get clashed. Dude, If Ajay Devgan can give run for srk so you can imagine what will happen when he clashes with Salman or Aamir. This is not late 90’s or early 2000’s era when once upon a time your king was ruling. btw, Your wish will never come true !!!!!!!!!!!!
@sss : Now even Irfan Khan is worst actor than Srk. I hope he does not read your comment else he will slash you ‘Hawabaazi’ !!!!!!!!!!! No one can reach Irfan Khan in acting (that includes Aamir and Ajay Devgan) !!!!!!!!!!
Which film out of Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Dilwale, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo is biggest contender of highest grosser of the year?
Ans:- It will be PRDP, then Bajrangi Bhaijan.
@sss, yeah bhai does not have hit in this period but had blockbuster & superhits like Partner, wanted etc. Now, plz don’t say hits are bigger succes than blockbusters or govinda is a big star….lol.
@hrithik,KING IS RULING as always,be it’s early 90’s,be it’s mid 2000,be it’s 2010+ years.kindly check KING KHAN has 6 back to back 200+cr ww films,that non of your so called megastar can do that also considering variation in genre of movies.
About ett,tha success due to KING KHAN’S MADE YRF+KABIR+KATRINA(who also gave dhoom3) not due to masala movies ,now you’re happy?kindly no need of doing any cop role.because KING KHAN already did SOLDIER role(far more tougher than a just a cop).so soldier role is not so easy for salman/amir that they are afraiding to do.so KING KHAN did more tougher challenge and HE also more tough than salman+amir .that’s the reason kiddo.
of course any doubt?KING KHAN is incomparable.far better than irfan khan.see the versatility you’ll never find near irfan.if still you’ve doubt,then watch the climax of Billy Barber,when in sorrow scene HE completely overshadowed Irfan khan,no more example you can get other than this.
@Legend So Total 25 yrs mein chaamir ne 11 hits diye Hai ,Waahhh kya Stardom hai BC !!!
@ hrithik :
Tell me ETT had romance or not , ETT had comedy or not , ETT had action or not ???
and DON 2 … it was a complete suspense thriller , no romance or comedy . In fact , no songs !
and it’s a masala film ?
@phenom:
no songs in don2!….joke of the millenium….LOL. Check anywhere, don2 has 4 songs. And no romance in it really? Then what was the need of Lara dutt/priyanka chopra in the movie? King had beaten 20 pehalwans single handley, that is the biggest comedy of the movie and u said don2 has no comedy….LOL.
@ Tiger :
I am sure you haven’t seen Don 2 .
Do you know when was ‘Dushman Mera’ played ?
Enough said about Don 2 ‘s comedy … lol
@phenom, so ‘Dushman tera’ is not a song! Right??? ….LOL.
@tiger,if not so,then even talash also has item songs when kareena used to sing in the bars.but you have to understand the difference between a masla entertaining mass song and a classy dull dark cinematographic boring for Indians type song.so come with better excuses.because despite having such ghatiya cheap item songs your bhai’s jai ho becomes a huge disaster,so now please don’t give explanation,if you want then kindly reply why jai ho becomes disaster?, lol.

@Phenom : If you want to debate then debate as a normal person not as a fanatic. Day by day you are proving my thoughts (I though you are a sensible srk fan unlike others) wrong. No one can help or change your view if you have already decided not to believe in facts. Don or Don 2 is not masala genre so is ETT. A bit or Romance and couple of comedy scenes does not mean it changes the entire genre !!!!!!!!!!!! Go to your beloved YRF site and check the genre of ETT !!!!
@ Tiger :
Dushman Mera was not a part of the entire runtime !
@sss, if king does item songs then classy and if bhai does the same then cheap….what a logic man! Tujhe toh bharat ratna milna chahiye!!!
And see bhai’s disaster(as u said) jai ho(113cr) collected much more than king’s superhits like don2(106cr) and jthj(101cr) which shows the power of bhai.
Now, ans me if ur king is such a big star(as u claim) then why his movies yet to collect 15cr opening day and 120cr lifetime???
@sss:

@phenom, but it was used for promotion.
I think the avengers 2 going to brake FF7s record… let see 2 days to go
@hrithik,both DON2 and ett are non.masala genre movies,but ett is successful due to Katrina’s star power who already gave dhoom3,so no need to prove that your bhai is stardom less with out south remake/masala genre+south remake.
@tiger,I will like to have Bharat Ratna,but I have no faith in those cheap national awards,so I’ll not accept that meaningless metal piece if even President.will give at free of cost with out doing any achievement also.
KING KHAN kabka de chuke hain 44 CR opening.and you’re talking about 15cr opening,even ranveer Singh’s opening is higher than our bhai.
Yes if pig will bath with milk,then also it couldn’t become cow.your bhai is a 3rd grade ghatiya non actor,whatever movie he’ll do it will seem like classless got you classless fan?
@sss, now national awards bcm fake for u king fans. Ho bhi kyu na! Afterall king can’t buy them/get them by dancing on stage.
And hny was multistarer leaded by deepika. Name a movie of the overactor without deepika which collected 15cr opening day.
