Wanted vs Veer : Box office update

The first indication that Veer may not go the Wanted way, was when the collections first dipped on Saturday and later dropped quite significantly on Monday. Republic day (Tuesday) business helped the film get close to the first week numbers of Wanted, but the huge crash on Friday (Week 2) and further drops on Saturday and Sunday has meant that the film is highly unlikely to attain HIT status.

The fact that the distributors share is high from single screens has ensured the “moderate success” tag for the film, but business overall has been well below expectations.

Here is a comparison between Wanted and Veer 

DayWantedVeer
Friday5.5 crores7 crores
Saturday 6.5 crores6 crores
Sunday6.5 crores7.5 crores
Weekend Total18.5 crores20.5 crores
Monday7.25 crores (Holiday)3 crores
Tuesday5.5 crores (Holiday in some parts)6.5 crores (Holiday)
Wednesday2.5 crores2 crores
Thursday 2.25 crores1.50 crores
Week 1 Total36 crores33.50 crores
Friday2.25 crores1.5 crores
Saturday2.50 crores1.75 crores
Sunday3.75 crores2 crores
Monday3 crores (Holiday)1 crore
11 day Total47.5 crores39.75 crores

The table above gives a pretty clear indication as to how both movies have trended, while Wanted opened slow and remained steady, Veer opened better but crashed quickly.

Few other points to be noted

  • The multiplex business of Veer is lower than Wanted.
  • The costs of Veer is much higher, hence the film needs much more for hit status.
  • The lifetime nett of Veer is likely to fold up under 45 crores, with a distributors share of around 25 – 26 crores.

Most likely verdict : Average

  • @prity ..You are rite dear.I was making the same point earlier.

    @rajib ..Its ok but dun repeat urself again n again.I am 4m Pakistan n I am computer engineer working in a software house.I am elder than you so better u respect me rather than pasting non serious stuff.

  • Hina.. u r in IT sec. that’s gd..I am a girl frm Dubai..don’t take otherwise..u r too popular..here..
    By the way have u watched Wanted..?AllSalman film..?what do u think he is getting better n better,,?

  • Salam to All

    Rajib. u r 2 funny.

    All Salman fan. The super star Salman Khan features on the cover of People Magazine’s February Issue. Salman khan talks about the success of his movie Veer, and his love and hate relationship with critics.

  • Veer may go beyond 45cr since there is no big release int his week and veer is solely depended on single screen so I don’t think that single screen space of veer will be affected so just finger cross for that.

  • i seriously dont understand all these salman fans, when have salman given a hit other than wanted??? his movies are usually below average, secondly i seriously think he needs to go for acting classses, he cries and laughs in the same manner, just because some one screams on the screen, it doesnt mean acting, he has acted pretty well in MPK, HAHK and in very few movies.. he cruised all the way with his physique and good looks.. sorry no hurt feelings 2 any salman khan fans.. what is veer all about? i seriously couldnt figure anything, his bro sohal another big waste of time… he better go and learn acting and then cum 2 act in movies.. seriously there are so many talents unused in bollywood, let these pple act rather than just irritating us..

  • Afzal, get lost. When All Critics Praised Salman’s Acting in WANTED, LONDON DREAMS, & VEER where were u???

    We don’t want ur comments on Salman.

  • Acc. to Glamsham VEER collected a Healthy 33 crores in WEEK 1 from India.

    This Proves that BOI figures were wrong

    Bollywoodhungama – 32.97 crores i.e 33 cr app.

    Indicine – 33.50 crores

    Glamsham- 33 crores

    So, this confirms BOI is downplaying VEER’s collection.

  • Afzal
    hey mind your language. salman did good acting in, tere namm,ld, hddcs,hahk lots more movise. he no needs to do acting classe but he needs to do some good and choosy movise like hr.ak,srk ….

  • hi to all sallu fans,
    i m feeling very bad.
    i think veer can earn min atleast 50 cr nett in india.
    tues,wed,thurs= 3 cr
    fri= 1 cr, st= 1.5 cr,sun= 2 cr (no big release)
    4 says= 2 cr
    4th week= 2 cr,5th week= 1 cr
    total 39cr+12 cr= 51cr nett india lifetime
    budge= 65-70 cr.
    producer loosing money so sallu cut 15 cr price frm 25 cr as a real veer.
    so now budget is=50-55 cr
    verdict= semi hit/above average.

  • Afzal
    i am agree with u i dont know why Salman is carrying his both brothers in every movie , doesn’t matter they need or not in the movie. even in Partner when Salman thought that there is no space for Arbaaz he put him in the Photo
    just remember when govinda asked salman’s sister about her huby .
    was it arbaaz or sohail ?
    i think it was Arbaaz

  • Prity u are really Biggest fan of Sallu like Hina.
    but Rajib halder has already proposed to Hina so can i proposed u ?

    Prity Will u Marry Me ????
    just think i am on knee with rose in my hand.

  • @amish n Nauman ..You guys are crazy really man.It will be fun to c u on MNIK Page.Veer ne be Phod diya MNIK be Phod dege :)

    @Nauman ..When ever an idiot comes on Indicine n says something against Salman u r the 1st one to welcome him.Ridiculous attitude ..Grow Up :) Else expect same attitude 4m me n other Sallu fanz when Housefull arrives :)

  • Hina it is just a fun dont be serious
    and it is true that Salman is taking his brothers in every movie. even in Heros, hellos, MAMK he got supporting roles and he gave lead role to Sohail.
    and plz dont think that i am anti Sallu , i mentioned 100 times here that in 2009 my fav movie was LD and in 2010 i am waiting for Tom n Jerry.
    and i watched partner more than u

  • Amish
    sorry SRK is not Gay he is guy , bot not english guy it is hindi guy. mean cow , gao matta , bhains wali guy .
    hahhahaha

  • Adiii..u r talking in favour….atleast one salman hater has changed his mind…

    Amish/nauman…’ll not change…atleast Salman is trying to do diff kinds of role..what Akki is doing..same comedy…don’t say abt Tees mar khan..Sallu #’ll also get a Sirish kunder movie…

  • Bristi
    akkii never did diffrent role. he always did same type of role. but he always entertain us. thts why im not against him. but im aginst sallu becoz he did few entertaining movise in his life and almost his movise was boring..becoz of his few good films , masses still love him .
    salman and akki both of them need to do atmost 1 movie in a year.and their star power will never go down.

  • Nauman
    hey dont say ” i love you” to prity. she is mine. i love her. she is the most inteligent and nice girl in this site.
    if she is inteligent and nice then she will never refuse my praposal.

  • Don’t start again..Sallu also gave. mpk,.judwa,biwi no 1,msk,partner Andaz apna apna….there so many..he is entertaining…since1989…Akki also has..but Salman is too romantic also…Akki doesnot..

  • Amish and Nauman, u guys r funny and sometimes stupid also ;)

    Now coming to Sallu bhai, I think he must now work with good directors. He is loosing his multiplex audience which is affecting his films badly :( , Had VEER faired well at Multiplexes then it would have been a run away Hit.

    His next, Dabangg, again not gonna improve his prospect at Multiplexes. Though the good thing about Dabangg is that u will see Sallu Bhai in never before seen Avtar, i.e, a negative role of Cop belonging to Bihar. Now, thats gonna be really interesting. Plus it
    is a medium budget movie, so even if it’s half as massya as Wanted it wud be easily a HIT.

    But again u have his another brother Arbaaz Khan.

    The movie which will get back his fan follwing at Multiplexes will be Partner 2, Mr. India 2, Sanki etc.

    Good news it that now Salman is doing just one movie now that is
    Dabangg and is fully concentrating
    on his lingo.
    It’s Heartening to see Salman Doing movie belonging to Diff. genres.

    I think he is the only Actor apart from the Legendary Mr. Bachchan
    who has tasted success in all genres Like Comedy, Action, Love Story, Intense drama etc.

    Proud to be a SALMAN KHAN’s Fan.

  • sallu fans dont reply to sallu haters they cant denied the history of

    grossing 100+crores collections of maine pyaar kiyaa in 1989 that is almost two decades ago that sallu bhai film had created

    being human we all know the value of 100 crores in 1989 is amost minimum triple of todays 100crores +

    which there stars are crossing after almost 20 years of sallu bhai records ….

    lets try to avoid them they cant denied history and history is that sallu bhai film had grossed 100crores + minimum almost two decade gone and there stars are crossing 100crores + now a days ……….

    so, sallu haters can never compare sallu bhai records in history of bollywood to todays history of bollywood .

    as we all know that history cannot be denied by any one .
