Box office at it’s unpredictable best

When Agneepath did record business on Day 1, everyone expected the film to smash weekend records with more than 15+ crores on Day 2.

Well known trade analyst Taran Adarsh predicted the second day collections to be in the 15-18 crore range. Another trade expert Komal Nahta even declared that Hrithik Roshan is the 5th actor to enter the 100 crore club.

Just a day later, things have changed and quite drastically, proving yet again that it’s absolutely impossible to make accurate box-office predictions.

While Hrithik Roshan fans were overjoyed with the response to Agneepath yesterday, his critics are on over-drive today. The exact same people, who credited Sanjay Dutt, Chikni Chameli and even Rishi Kapoor for ‘historic opening’ of Agneepath yesterday, are holding Hrithik Roshan responsible for the drop in collections.

Fact is, the lead star can only guarantee a good initial – which Hrithik did yesterday. The rest entirely depends on the film’s merits.

  • jokes a part i dont think its hritik’s fault he acted really well so as sanju baba and rishi kapoor was best i believe. the main reason is the script. thats not hritik’s calliber movie. he shouldnt have picked this movie because he clearly dont have the star power like salman, aamir and srk who can get their even worse film hit but i m sure if sat and sun film do little better than it can atleast be hit because mon is the real challenge

  • A movie stands at 33 crore after 2 days on a 4 day weekend release and pple are calling it a disaster? Wait untill mnday before making a verdict. As u say boxoffice is unpredictable. Just 2 years ago salman was having flops just like shahid.

  • Bollywoodfan, that’s the whole point. People are just jumping into conclusions. 33 crores in 2 days is an average of 16.5 per day. That’s huge. Just that the drop is alarming. Let’s see. Should remain steady from here on.

  • @indicine team you are saying People are just jumping into conclusions. what about yourself on day 1 when you were saying its gonna be huge. well i agree with you on one just like you if
    films doesnt do well its not hr’s fault he gave his best but tell me what do you think about monday and please dont tell me that the drop is because of working day i dont buy it becase it was more than 50%

  • SRK is the only actor who have the gutz to make flops movie a hit like in case of ra.1… A.P!! this movie will have a limited run at the BO in the coming days as it is juzt the way overrated bi critics & media & ya if media&critis jetna b srk ko downgrade kare or negativity baraye pir be wo don 2 ko superhit banak deka sakta hain !!

  • I dont why all behave like,its all over,jst wait for weekend,surely above 60 cr,definitely cross 100 cr for sure

  • I dont knw why all behave like,its all over,jst wait for weekend,surely above 60 cr,definitely cross 100 cr for sure

  • agneepath is denitely not a bad film ,just now i watched the film the only problem is there is too much drama that makes film duration longer, yes there is some exciting scenes here and there but i think it wont cross 100 crore, sorry hrithik fans i really wish it break all the records but not possible

  • Don 2 was a superb..it deserved to be a blockbuster..these critics r all always behind SRK..Agneepath is also very good than bodyguard..but Hrithik can’t equate with Khans.

  • Hi, I think it’s a kind of misguiding with such news because if you compare day one with day two, the collection has been dropped by 50% but yet the film is running with dignity and collected about 13 crore on day 2. Do you people think that this amount is small?? It’s only small compared to the day 1. Otherwise, the collection is still too huge. On the other hand, you also should have finish what Taran Adarsh said. He said the film dropped due to having working day on Friday but will again rise on 3rd and 4rth day. Didn’t he say that?? As far as Bodyguard record is concerned, Bodyguard got a clean free 5 days weekend having holly-days in each of the 5 days while Agneepath got 4 day weekend among which, one day is working day and that is Friday. So the weekend collection should not be compared with bodyguard as Bodyguard got such a free 5 day weekend. Agneepath is backed up with excellent reviews and positive response from audience, so I find it completely a ridiculous to give alomost a final comment on Agneepath such way when the weekend itself is yet to be finished, let alone the weekdays!! you can expect Agneepath to break record of a single day of Bodyguard or Ra.One but you can’t expect to break the total weekend collection when Both Bodyguard and Ra.One got Eid and Dilwalli advantage. Remember, a film like ZNMD, which had only class appeal started with 9 crore on the openning day, 10 crore on the second, and 11 crore on the 3rd day. The rest of the days counted 5/6 crore in each day of the first week but yet ended up with 90 crore at the Indian Box Office only. So entering into the 100 crore club for Hrithik Roshan is as easy as it was expected!!

  • It is difficult for Aagnipath to hold on the weekdays. And if it fails target of 100 crore will be kept in dream box for Krrish 3.

  • I AM SALMAN BHAI FAN ,

    AGNEEPATH MOVIE WHICH BROKE BODYGUARD RECORD OF 21.50 CRORE OPENING DAY BY MAKING 23 CRORE ON FIRST DAY….. AGNEEPATH ON SECOND DAY CRASHES BADLY TO 11 CRORE…IT IS RA ONE OF 2012 IN MAKING..WHICH RAONE TOOK GOOD OPENING BUT AFTER THAT CRASHS BADLY IN THE WEEKDAYS…..BODYGUARD SECOND DAY WAS 19. 5 CRORE….SO MORALE OF THE POINT STILL BOX OFFICE KING OR NUMBER 1 IS…..SALMAN BHAI.

  • I AM SALMAN BHAI FAN ,

    NUMBER ONE POSITION OF BOLLYWOOD BELONGS TO ONLY THREE KHANS…. IT WILL ALWAYS CHANGE YEARLY TO ONE KHAN 2 SECOND KHAN 2 THIRD KHAN. THEY R ALL IN DIFFERENT LEAGUE ALL TOGETHER…DOn’t MESS WITH THEM WARNING TO OTHER HEROES….NO OTHER HERO WILL BE ON OR DARE TO ON THAT PLACE TILL THESE THREE KHANS RETIRES…..RIGHT NOW NUMBER ONE IS SALMAN BHAI

  • Boxoffice results were clear then b4 ra.one came… Evrybody then gives near to accurate figures wit Boi.com but nw diff pple wil jst giv sum stupid figures… Wen bodyguard released, boi said it was 20.60,taran said it was 21cr but nw boi wil say 22.80cr for ra.one 2nd day,taran wil say 25cr.. C d huge difference, boi wil say 21.76cr 4 Agneepath,taran wil say 25cr,wiki wil say 25cr.. Wikipedia dat follows Boi b4,nw writes rubbish..imagine,ra.one doing 240cr worldwide in wiki while bodyguard wit bigger net domestically doing 229cr in wiki while according to boi,it is bodyguard-230cr while ra.one is 200cr.. Confusion nowadays wit boxoffice figures.. Wen taran nd komal are confusin d audience nd d media wil den add fire to it… I wonda wen india wil learn to go hollywood way nd give accurate fig 4rm one particular site not producer’s fig or taran or komal but only Boi.. Thank u

  • It alwayz iz ..i admit hr iz gud in acting bt he lacks suprstardom like salman khan .even snjay dutt grabs all the credit of big opening instead hr ..so sory to hr fans salman khan iz unbeatable now evn shahrukh cant beat hm in stardom and inshallah he wll keep on making new records this decade coz he iz on dream run he has takn his career too seriously than ever

  • Hritik is a gud actor bt the thing iz he lacks suprstardom he can never tak agnipath only on his shouldrz sunjay is a top cotendr to tak agnipath ahead .he mad kancha iconic ths time nd moslty agree wd it i thnk saturday wll b around 13-14 cr not much more

  • hey all agneepath has picked big time, as per taran adarsh at most places the evening and the night shows are housefull…now take that all u hrithk haters…….

  • Hahaha how can u bliv in taran adarsh ..both taran and komal nahata hv lost their trust by people both they tweeted agnipath made 25 cr on 1st day then wt hapnd latr they excused fans and tweeted new figur of 23 cr only boi is trurtworthy not komal nd taran adarsh

  • No doubt, Hiritik is a good actor. But you know this is the age of Khans and the King of Bollywood is still SHAHRUKH KHAN. His stardum is unbeatable by any other actor of Bollywood. If you want to confirm it just see the results of Polling of Best Actor 2011 conducted by Indicine. He is still unmatchable and the most popular actor of bollywood.
