Note: Predictions are just ‘expected numbers’ based on star cast, director and production house.
Jai Ho (Jan 24): Salman Khan has taken up the Republic Day weekend by getting his film Jai Ho to release on 24th January. It is the remake of a well accepted South Indian film called Stalin and should continue Salman’s winning streak even though the trailers have not differentiated it much from his last few films. While the film is unlikely to break the records set by Dhoom 3, it should cross the collections of Salman’s last film Dabangg 2. Box Office Prediction: 180 crore.
Gunday (Feb 14): Ranveer Singh got into the big league with the huge success of Ram Leela. This time around, he is back with his mentors Yash Raj Films in this 1970s based action drama which is set in the coalfields of West Bengal. The trailers of the film have highlighted the friendship and the confrontation which happens between them towards the end of the film. Priyanka Chopra adds to the glamour quotient of this film. We expect the film to do above average business. Box Office Prediction: 75 crore.
Jagga Jasoos (Oct 2): Barfi which arrived in 2012 surprised everyone with its box office performance. The team of Ranbir Kapoor, UTV and Anurag Basu reunite in this detective coming-of-age comic thriller. The film is expected to hit all the right notes with audiences universally and the music has been receiving a lot of pre-release buzz from industry insiders. Barfi’s success surprised us but the performance of Jagga Jasoos would be anything but surprising for us. Prediction: 175 crore.
PK (December): Rajkumar Hirani is the most well respected director in India today and the last time he teamed up with Aamir Khan, that film broke all records of that time. Although not much is known about the content of this film, it can be safely said that it will follow the feel good template of Hirani’s previous films. The release date and the screen size of the film will see it challenge the records set by Dhoom 3. Another blockbuster in store for Aamir Khan. The film is scheduled to release during the Post-IPL period, but could be postponed to Christmas 2014 if Aamir is not completely satisfied with the rough cut. Box Office Prediction: 275 – 300 crore.
Holiday (June 5): AR Murugadoss returns to direct a Hindi film after 6 years since Ghajini with this Akshay Kumar starrer that is a remake of his own film Thupakki. The original film proved to be a big hit commercially and Holiday should at the very least cross the collections of Akshay’s last few films. However it clashes with Ajay Devgn’s Action Jackson at the box office and if the clash does take place it will curtail the collections of Holiday. The film also releases during the IPL. Prediction with clash: 85 crore. Prediction without clash: 125 crore.
Ungli (Uncertain): Not much is currently known about Ungli except for the cast and the production house. Emraan Hashmi who has been concentrating on his Hollywood film for quite some time will be back in Hindi film territory with Ungli which also stars Sanjay Dutt, Randeep Hooda and Kangna Ranaut. Predicting the box office collection of a film without any knowledge about the film’s content is a very difficult proposition but we will take it up anyway. Prediction: 55 crore.
Haider (2nd half 2014): Shahid Kapoor got the biggest grosser of his career towards the end of 2013 with R… Rajkumar and 2014 will see him starring in Vishal Bharadwaj’s Haider. The actor-director duo previously made Kaminey which did above average business at the box office back in 2009. Haider is based on Shakespeare’s Hamlet and stars Shraddha Kapoor opposite Shahid. As it is not a very commercial film which will appeal to audiences universally, the box office returns should be limited.
Prediction: 60 crore.
Kill Dil (Sep 5): Shaad Ali returns to direct a film after his debacle of a film called Jhoom Barabar Jhoom. Like that film, this also has been produced by Yash Raj Films and stars Parineeti Chopra, Ranveer Singh, and Ali Zafar in the lead roles. It promises to be an unusual comedy thriler going by the snippets we have received about the film. We expect Shaad to get back into the green zone with Kill Dil.
Prediction: 70 crore.
2 States (Apr 18): We’ve been hearing great things about this Karan Johar – Sajid Nadiadwala collaboration. The film is based on Chetan Bhagat’s 2009 novel 2 States: The Story of my marriage, which was a smash-hit with the youth. Directed by Abhishek Varman, the film is a story of a couple from different states in India. Even if the book is half as spicy and entertaining as the book was, 2 States should go on to be hugely successful commercial blockbuster. Prediction: 75 crore

@aks
What if Taare was made by mahesh bhatt
Cast:
Emraan hashmi as teacher,and any newcomer sexy model as child’s mom…
this would be thriller as well..with good music by pritam or may be by ankit tiwary and mithoon
Emraan would come to their house telling them about dyslexia instead see lust in his mother’s eyes..then as usual some steamy scenes..then some twist here and there,and suddenly child’s mother gets murdered..now emran will be after the murderer and finaly at the end the child was the murderer.
@sachin11 lol sakhi rawant is just trolling and spouting rubbish just so that she can beat her loser hubby nipun alcoholic by leaving the first trashy comment on each and every article…
Sakhi rawant therefore cannot read the article until later- just look how she posted another rubbish comment later on when she read the PK prediction… Point proved
jai ho will be 300cr movie.
What Raju Hirani ,raju hirani??…as if he is d biggest director….on which basis did P.K get 275cr.,i dnt know….3 idiots was just a massove fluke….if u r taking the script & content,then Anurag Kashyap,Dibakar Banerjee etc are bigger than Raju…if u r taking the entertaining thing in films here,then it should be Rohit Shetty,Farah Khan …as per my knowledge ,its not a entertainer..P.K will get maximum 200cr..
@babaji ki thullu – LOL. You can now sell this script to Mahesh Bhatt and he will make the film as Murder 4!!!
Acc to romance
Jai ho 180cr plus
Holiday 150cr plus
haidar 100cr plus
jagga jasus 120cr plus
gunday 50cr plus
@sakhi rawant or SAKHI RAWANT You mad as you have 2 IDs and that means a split personality but in your case you are extremely lucky as both your personalities are equally MAD…!
Please dont bring Ramesh Sippys name here- the man made the iconic Shakti in 1982 which was a huge hit- (many liked his Amit ji starrer ‘Akayla’ 1990 also but not a huge hit sadly though) so Sholay was not a fluke as you suggested stupidly.
Raju Hirani also will not make a flop, average, semi hit, hit, super hit movie ever again…! True he wont…,,, he will only deliver Blockbusters and the occasional ATBB going forward with Aamir Khan… Raju Sir wont make the same disastrous mistake that Ramesh Sippy made which is direct Sarkar Rukh Khan- after the debacle of Zamana Deewana 1995 which made losses running into the crores- Ramesh Sir never directed again…! Such a pity but thats our Thakur who taints the legacys of all good directors and ends their careers with a flop like Ramesh ji and Yash Chopra. (jab tak hai mojo debacle)
@babaji superb dear,can’t stop laughing ‘kid is murderer’,the post i submitted found on net and credit goes to Nitesh.
@Sakhi very funny,salute to your knowledge,who told you Rohit shetty and Farah Khan are the biggest entertaining director than Raju Hirani,they might be but not bigger than you,every day something from you we visitor on the site gets comic relief. Keep it up.
@navin – You just cannot stop involving SRK in every comment of yours, isn’t it? You are just too obsessed with degrading SRK. Please consult a psychiatrist and take your medicines properly. Don’t worry about the bill, I will pay it.
HNY= 300 CR+
Sure break every record
2014 prediction…
200cr film: PK, HNY, Bang Bang.
150cr film: Kick, Singham2, Jai Ho.
Rest few will target 100cr and remaining 50cr.
happy new year will be in no 1 position
According to me, the top 10 grossers of the year will be:
1. P.K.
2. Bombay Velvet
3. Jagga Jasoos
4. Kick
5. Bang Bang
6. Happy New Year
7. Singham 2
8. Jai Ho
9. Holiday
10. Humshakals
don’t think jagga jassos & bang bang will release in 2014, then gabbar & phantom might come in top 10.
top 5 movies of 2014 in my view
1)hny or kick=250+
2)hny or kick=250+
3)fan or pk=170+
4)jai ho or pk=170+
i know tingu fans will object but its not franchise this time,no holidays like xmas,new year and not good plot as 3i or munna.its overrated just.
as I mentioned in the above comments about great directors, i also want to mention about my tingu who almost ended Yashji’s career with Parampara but then there was a true magician called King Khan who brought back the glory with all time classic “DARR”
Dhoom 3 will remain as rare exception in Indian cinema as one of the only movie to cross 270 + with bad content. As per my views:
Films which can easily cross 200 cr’s : P.K, Happy New Year, Bang Bang & Kick.
Films which can easily cross 150 cr’s : Jai Ho, Jagga Jassos & Holiday.
Films which can easily cross 100 cr’s : Singham 2, Bombay Velvet & Gunday.
Dhoom 3 will definately retain its worldwide gross records till 2015…Top grossers of the year will be
1) P.K
2) HNY
3) Bang Bang
4) Kick
5) Jai Ho…
@Navin I think you really don’t have any knowledge about films, its the director that makes movie good or bad (you really think that koyla was bad then please check it,s reviews)and Zd was flop because it wasn’t well made movie and it become flop(don,t care about career’s ending of some one because it ends so don’t care) and we all know that zamana deewana movie is far better than salman’s craps and most of aamir movies before 2000 and jthj it was 8th or 7th most critically acclaimed movie of 2012 Far better then revenge3 and actually it was bb do you know why :a movie made at budget of 50cr collect 122cr verdict:hit but deserve:bb And about ending the career then what about your bhai jan who really give bad starts to others (janeman)and give talentless acctresses to b-town like kat,zarin khan and sonakshi where srk starts director’s career with good note and with talented actresses like: dp, anushka, priety, shilpa and others
@Aks agree with u but do you know that aamir has dozens of craps before 2000
@sakhi i had a doubt that you are someone from indicine team admin itself because almost each post we got first comment from you. And like Indicine you are also Srk fan,but somehow today you asked question “what Raju Hirani,Raju Hirani” and because Srk worked with Rohit and Farha khan(also working HNY) you think they are best entertaining directors,so you clear my doubt as a regular visitor of this site for more than 2 and half years i can say that admin is not foolish,and can’t have a dumb employee like you. Lol.(just kidding)
180 crores for Jai Ho. Looking at the trailer and songs I think Jai Ho will not even cross 120 crores. However, as a Salman fan I am sure Kick will be the highest grosser of the year. Kick should challenge the collection of Dhoom 3 or PK (if it releases before Kick).
@madman Thanks dude but dont worry about the medical bills as Im insured on that front so thats all good but seeing how you are feeling very generous right now then can you please pay my credit bill this next month instead….? I wasnt going too but I suddenly feel the urge to upgrade all my electrical
Appliances and feel the need to really buy acouple of those flatscreen plasmas for upstairs n downstairs…! Cheers dude you are a generous lungiwala fan- a rare one at that too…! :-P
why indicine under estimating Holiday? 125 cr without clash, i m expecting easily 150 crore as buzz is already high.
Top 3 movies of 2014 as my opinion are : 1- PK 2- Kick and 3- Singhm 2
May be Indicine is expecting too much out of star kid Ranbir Kapoor’s Jagga Jasoos. Maybe because of YJHD. Don’t forget his last outing, Besharm either. There are many Jasoos coming before Jagga in 2014 including Bobby. By the way, is it Clashing with Bang Bang? If so, I want to say Sorry to the kid.
As of the Returns of the Paglapur’s PLAYERS 2 in diwali, there will be hardly any takers or audiences for those CIRCUS JOKERS. So, a 70 crores business will be fine.Let’s not predict anything for Jai Ho as it is up for release very soon. So let’s see. So, any business between 175-200 Crores will be just awesome for non-festive release like Jai Ho. So, if it can collect the mentioned amount, it will be record breaking.
More about the Returns of Paglapur Players 2 (only for Paglapurians):
have read somewhere that the pilot of Paglapur’s UFO called Joker was so pissed off with the Lungi Thakur (the driver- i.e locomotive engineer) of Paglapur’s train called Crappy Depress for attacking him (the pilot of UFO) from behind because of professional jealou-sy and pulling his hairs down because of personal jealou-sy that he has teamed up with his fatty-half, the brakewoman of the TMN train (that was stopped on the half way by the craz-y Paglapurians to loot Lungis on it), and come up with a revenge called “the Returns of Paglapur PLAYERS” due to be seen in Diwali. I have seen a picture of shooting of Paglapur Players Returns on internet. They were seriously looking more like a bunch of Paglapurian Jokers than like Paglapurian Thieves. They, the Paglapur’s pilot and his fatty-half, will knock down the Lungi Thakur of Paglapur so fiercely that he will have no ability to return to his original place, Paglapur. Naturally, all Paglapurians, by their UFO, will fly away in fear leaving their Lungis and the Thakur behind. Poor Paglapur’s Thakur will have a Lawaris Maut in the end. His Crappy Train can’t take him to a safe place either ….Now, Paglapurians will make so much noise at me. But we don’t understand Paglapurian Language, do we???
For me PK & Kick.
@Navin11, We know you are not the same person ad Navin. You too use the ID, Navin, but it’s fine as long as you add 11 after that. But it is shameful when you Hijacked his comment as yours. Navin is a Aamir’s fan as much as Salman’s. He will never insult Aamir as you did. Hijacking others’ ideas and identities are the true natures of Paglapurians who worship the Lungi Thakur of Paglapur.
wait SRK andSALMAN KHAN
movie release 10 day after
@jatinder has P.K. released in your Pagalpur town?because only than you can say is plot is not good like 3i and Munnabhai. Oh sorry i forget that its hobby of srk fans that without watching movies of other actor they declared them crap,worst movie ever. Thanx for reminding me. @yymithaiwala i know how many flops Aamir has but every actor has failures some has more or less but if you are capable than in long run you will come bigger at the end,and it shows by Aamir,i knows srk is consistent with his success and its his biggest achievement but he also have many flops on his credit.so failures and success is always two side of any person career,but people give value to your whole achievement more than failures.
Predictions predictions predictions do it N number of times but you cant change the truth.
Yes writing list of 1,2,3 is very easy but practicaly its hard thing to happen.
Since last 7 years SRK fans making these kind of list & as usual according to them film of the year is Srk film everytime.
Go guys take fun you can do it at the start of every year which is good for you & if it make you happy then why we disturbe you.Enjoy your predictions.
But at the end of the year result will be same as like last 7 years its Aamir or Salman starer film at the top.
Till that yes HNY will be the biggest grosser of 2014 with 500 crs domestic & 1000 crs worldwide.
I expect 200+cr from Jao ho and Kick for obvious reason that it has Salman..for me PK will certainly emerge as the biggest hit as it hz Hirani & Aamir and of course contents…not expecting much from HNY as it is Farah Khan’s film with SRK..
