  • I Will stop bashing akshay and his fans untill they stop calling him super star….

    Some of them exceeded all the limits, they even compared him with Sharukh Khan!!!…

    Apne aukath mein rahna…

  • Now Blame the loss of this movie too on Sidharth Malhotra, Jacqueline Fernandes, Karan Malhotra & Dharma Productions.

    Hey frustrated Akkians. Come On.

  • Good collection….
    Word of mouth is mixed to negative….
    I heard that sidharth acting is worst….
    Only n only akshay kumar stardom can save this movie…..
    Today will be 23 to 25 cr…
    Tomorrow 20 cr

  • i am unable to understand that why people spread too much negativity about films like if critics bash a film people start bashing as well, i am not Akki fan but i watch his movies if i have time, i watched brothers last night it is not what critics, indicine or Akki haters are say saying, i mean i like the film and it is good, my point is if u r not liking a film it does not mean others will also hate it, so keep calm and let the people decide what should they do.
    i am big salman khan fan and bhai always ask his fans to spread positivity so i urge to all who are reading my comment give this film a chance if you are action lover.

  • Last independence day ajay’s SR collected huge 32cr nett. So brothers needs to collect over 32cr today to prove akki is bigger star than Ajay devgan.

  • This is what difference between star (akki, hr, srk) n megastar (salman, aamir)
    Look at their opening…
    Kick, pk, bb opening around 26 cr
    N brothers, don2 ,jthj opening around 15cr….

  • Akkians always came with excuses that if akki would have work in place of KING KHAN with YRF/DP,then he could have in the place of akki.now what happened?????

    Though no one counts akki as an superstar anymore it’s he who destroyed himself by doing completely garbage movies.and and his fans are describing films like sp26,baby like good movies as legendary movies,have shame akkian after some days you will not find any place to hide and please never ever sing self made superstar blah blah while akki is a stain on that glorious name.

  • releasing 4films per year u cant expect an actor to collect20-25 crore opening. but congo to akki still his movies collect good mullah.

  • Next year in December, Dangal which is also a sports film will struggle to reach even 150 crores in India.
    Aamir fans be prepared in advance for the setback. LOL!!!! Too much fum.

  • You can tell when a film is poorly made afterwards when audiences walk out n start discussing possible cast changes like Joker Boy should have been the drunk father n not Jackie…!

  • No review from our resident agony aunt aNIPUNma I see…! Clearly she was offended to hear the film being passed with an U/A certificate for containing that vile vulgar word kSHITij.!

  • Itni negativity ke baad bhi record opening and film is good enough but critics don’t digest Akshay sincere act, film is not excellent that is problem with many because they expect more from it,today on independence day housefull everywhere,expecting 25 crore,best action film
