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,we don’t believe in national awards because chief national awards didn’t awarded films like SWADES instead of films like hum tum.but I couldn’t understood what made you national award supporter even if sallu didn’t got a single and we’re blaming even though OUR KING SRK already got PADMASHREE.even national awards aare given to many classless undeserced south films/actors ,it doesn’t even bother about Bollywood even it is the best industry in Bollywood,that’s the main reason.and you’re supporting it only because as KING KHAN still not has got 1 national awards as salman/amir.
OK tell the opening if your bhai which did above 10cr with out south remake.masala genre/Katrina/YRF.not even 5cr opening,lol.poor star’s poor fan.DILWAALE will again break HNY’S opening.so after rthat you’ll tell varun,lol.salman’s fans with logic?impossible,lol.
@sss, so national awards are fake becoz king has not got it and filmfare, zee cine are real awards becoz king can buy those………
and tell a name of single movie of king which collected even 1cr opening day without big banner/director/heroines………
@sky Indicine said that Dangal will not be released on Christmas bcoz its not a commercial film to take benifit of xmas and it will not have any 3 major festive release. It will be released on Gandhi Jayanti or Independence Day or other small holiday season. So, it can be called Talaash 2 and I don’t think that single screen people will go to watch this movie.
Last answer is absolutely right Indicine
BV will take good opening only coz of Ranbir Kapoor
Coz he’s on the level of stardom now where all the actors took 15-20 yrs to reach there
No offence all are legends and superstars in their on way may it b Salman Srk Amir or Akshay
But you really can’t ignore Ranbir Kapoor B-)
His success and jealous haters you’ll come to know now by seeing the dislikes on my comment ;)
Keep hating jealous and our RK will keep on winning awards ;) :D
