Box office: Ajay Devgn without Rohit Shetty

A couple of days back, a forum member of Indicine, published a post on the box office performance of Ajay Devgn films without director Rohit Shetty in the last 5 years.

Rohit has directed Ajay in 5 films in the last 5 years and all of them have been successful at the box office – Golmaal, Golmaal Returns, Golmaal 3, All The Best, Singham and Bol Bachchan. Only one film, Sunday, was an average grosser.

Ajay Devgn - Rohit Shetty

Without Shetty at the helm, Ajay’s success ratio is poor. Have a look.

  • Cash (2007) – 18.33 crs FLOP
  • Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag (2007) – 8.5 crs FLOP
  • Halla Bol (2008) – 14.61 crs FLOP
  • U Me Aur Hum (2008) – 22.69 crs BELOW AVERAGE
  • Mehbooba (2008) – 2.48 crs FLOP
  • London Dreams (2009) – 25.77 crs FLOP
  • Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge (2010) – 29.14 crs AVERAGE
  • Raajneeti (2010) – 92.93 crs BLOCKBUSTER [Multistarrer Movie]
  • Once Upon A Time In Mumbai(2010)-58.3crs HIT (also featured Emraan Hashmi)
  • Aakrosh (2010) – 13.63 crs FLOP
  • Dil Toh Bachcha Hai Ji (2011) – 28.47 crs BELOW AVERAGE
  • Rascals (2011) – 33.61 crs FLOP
  • Tezz (2012) – 15.72 crs DISASTER

With less than 10 days to go for his ambitious Diwali release Son Of Sardaar, the big question in the trade – can Ajay Devgn deliver without Rohit Shetty?

  • so this artical clear what is ajay.ajay is flop actor.why he is taking panga with KING OF BOLLYWOOD.
    jthj-150crore
    sos-60crore

  • I AM NOT FAN OF SRK,…EVEN I HATE SRK……BUT SOS IS NOT A GOOD FILM TO COMPETE WITH YASHRAJ FILM……
    JTHJ —-HIT
    SOS—FLOP
    BOXOFFICE PREDICTION….AJAY IS NO ONE WITHOUT ROHIT SHETTY

  • wait for couple of weeks. SOS will be ajay’s biggest hit till date. Yes it wont be collecting more than JTHJ but yes it cross 100 crore.

  • Yes ajay and rohit has a good success ratio. Lets see if SOS works. Anyways sometimes after looking at the promos of SOS you feel like this one is a Rohit Shetty film.

  • In last five years srk dilever oso,mnik,ra.one and don 2 all are blockbuster super hit hit and super hit he delievers only 2 flims with chopra cdi and rnbdj both are huge blockbusters and defiently jthj is also atbb

  • Ajay without Rohit Shetty = Shahrukh without Yashraj & Dharma.

    but still SOS will be a Blockbuster. in diwali, Ajay has 100% success record.
    Sorry Yaar Diwali Bekaar bina SON OF SARDAAR, aur koi film dekha to diwali bekaar.

  • srk w/o yrf & dharma since 2000

    Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani – Flop
    Ashoka – Flop
    One Two Ka Four – Flop
    Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam – Semi-hit (also had salman had lead)
    Zamana Deewana – Disaster (delayed)
    Swades – Flop
    Chalte Chalte – Average
    Paheli – Disaster
    Don – Semi-Hit
    Om Shanti OM – Blockbuster (had cameo from half of the industry)
    Billu – Disaster
    Ra one – Flop (had RajiniKanth’s cameo)
    Don 2 – Hit (had Hrithik’s cameo)

    So, once again srk is back to his safe zone.

  • Ajay is Nothing without Rohit shetty bus alas he lelf Ajay too and join SRK for CE. Ab Ajay ka keya hoga? SOS All time Disaster

  • Even rohit shetty directed ZAMEER and SUNDAY with ajay they were also fops , u didn’t show that . First ajay was one who bought rohit shetty in this industry ..dont forget that , after ZAMEER flop , noboby stood behind rohit , nobody were rohit work…it was ajay who gave him 2nd chance …..This list of ajay without rohit is nobody , will change with SOS or even SOS does not do well , then next year HIMMATWALA will 100 % change ur opinion ..ok .

  • @Indicine team: few months back u had published same article named “is Ajay devgan a bankable star?
    Then why today repeated the same contained with the differen name?
    What u people wanted to prove?
    Srk too have bigg failure, but you guys do repeat only success of srk
    This is clear that u people are paid to praise srk & u are very aware that ajay’s action movies are more sucsess than other type, & u guys now feeling insecute cause srk is going through bad face of career and SON OF SARDAR is more promising than srk, yrf’s so called roamance.
    But mark my this deevaly only SON SARDAR will b ultimate, because people want to be entertained like SOS SIZE

  • Aamir Khan: SalmanKhan is also my secret lover. If I don’t mention him I’ll be punished in bed

  • SRK makes people emotional, change people’s attitude and teaches love while SALLU been teaching people how to kill other people sleeping on the Roadside

  • top grossers worldwide :

    1. 3 Idiots (385 crs)
    2. Ek Tha TIger ( 308 crs)
    3. Bodyguard (230 crs)

  • Playing game with SOS by the name of Bhai movie ETT.

    The aim of this practice is to corner any film releasing around Diwali: distributor
    A condition was imposed on us, on each theatre, at the time of the release of Ek Tha Tiger, that they will only supply that film if we also screened Jab Tak Hai Jaan exclusively at Diwali. There was a single agreement for both films. We said that there will be other films also releasing at that time, but they said it had to be exclusively this film if we wanted Ek Tha Tiger. In Hyderabad, big films get about 20-25 single screens and about 10 multiplexes. Now, JTHJ has 15-18 single screens out of these. I have only two single screens left because at the time of ETT, YRF didn’t want them, even though I’d offered them; they didn’t release ETT there. Those are the only two single screens where I can run SOS.

    The same pattern has been followed in Aurangabad, which is also in the Nizam territory. Out of five single screens there, YRF has taken four. Of these, two are mine, two they negotiated directly, and the one they left is only because it is one of two theatres in the same compound! In Bidar, Karnataka, out of three single screens, I gave them one, they got the second also, and the third only screens Kannada movies – so Son Of Sardaar will see no release there! This is definitely unfair practice. It completely kills the business of the distributors of Son Of Sardaar, and fortunately or unfortunately, I’m both a distributor of SOS and an exhibitor. The aim of this practice by YRF was to corner any film releasing around this time – agar doosri film ko screens milenge hi nahin, toh woh release kaise hogi?
