Fitoor vs Sanam Re Box Office Prediction

It’s time for yet another clash at the box office. Fitoor and Sanam Re are the big releases this week and both are multiplex films, releasing during the Valentine’s Day weekend. Sanam Re is also getting a fairly good single-screen release.

Check out factors in favour and against both films.

Factors in favour of Fitoor:

  • Star value: Katrina Kaif is one of the biggest female stars in the country
  • Music: The music of Fitoor has gained popularity in the last couple of weeks
  • Director: Abhishek Kapoor has directed films like Rock On!! and Kai Po Che

Factors against Fitoor:

  • Niche: Fitoor is unlikely to hold appeal outside 10-15 cities, which is also one of the reasons why the makers have opted for a limited release of 1225 screens in India.
  • Economics: Fitoor is an expensive film, has to collect upwards of 75 crore just to recover costs.
  • Word-of-mouth dependent: It’s going to be a slow start for Fitoor on Friday morning, the film will have to grow on word-of-mouth. Saturday and Sunday business will be crucial.

Factors in favour of Sanam Re:

  • T-Series: The music and production company has gone all out to promote Divya Kumar Khosla’s directorial venture. Promos have been playing non-stop on television.
  • Music: Like Divya’s first film Yaariyaan, the music of Sanam Re is hugely popular.
  • Youth factor: The youth might opt for Sanam Re over Fitoor
  • Wider appeal and release: The film has been shot in beautiful locations, has good music, feel-good factors, good looking actors and has the potential to succeed at smaller centres, which is why the makers are giving the film a wide release.
  • Economics: Recovery shouldn’t be a problem for Sanam Re, it could recover costs by the end of its first weekend if the opening is good.

Factor against Sanam Re:

  • Star value: Yami Gautam is probably the most popular star, that says a lot doesn’t it? The film lacks face value.

Clearly, Sanam Re has plenty of factors in its factors and could surprise on Day 1 at the box office.

We are going with yet another bold prediction. We expect Sanam Re to take a Rs 5.5 crore opening and Fitoor to start at Rs 5.2 crore on Day 1 at the box office.

  • With or without clash Dangal will rule the box office and Aamir khan will rule the audience’ heart. Waiting for Dangal first 400 crore movie. Worldwide above 800 crore.

  • Yaariyan was very poorly made & was saved by its hugely popular music plus a low budget. Look at its trend after the superb first day! I don’t think Divya Kumar Khosla has miracolously come out with a better quality film. After all apart from those beautiful landscapes what else the promos actually show us is a cliche romantic drama.

  • My best wishes for both movies though don’t know much about sanam re did not even know fitoor is clashing.

    Well my take is that Fitoor content will play a vital role. Kat though not her fan Buh yeah indeed she is a big girl….she still lacks that natural expression Buh not much blame cos she is half-caste. One thing Kat will do is she will be d sole reason for occupancy %age. While the rest(character display) lies solely on Tabu(one of d most talented actress of modern hindi cinema) and then Adi. Good songs and content comes in next. I wish both the movies best of luck.

    NB.. About d director I don’t know of its me buh yeah kai po che was cool.but for me it’s one of the most overated movies of recent time. My perception only.. Buh there’s always a second chance.. BM and Airlift of recent have really raised the standard of content movies now So hindi audience should be expecting a very good movie in Fitoor.

    Finally I read a comment I think @Alok Nath saying why spend so much when already you know d target you are about hitting? 75 is too much keeping in mind you have limited screens and 10-15 cities to your name…makes no sense much.. Hope fitoor proves us wrong.. Yami baby all d best too for sanam re.

  • My first choice is Deadpool,the reviews of it are good.
    Will watch Sanam Re on Sunday coz of the music album,will be the second film i watch at theatre coz of the music,last one was Aashiqui 2.

  • @ indicine

    You definitely have some wrong information…

    Just 1225 screen for 75 crore budget movie. Person with 0 knowledge know that its almost impossible to revover 75 crore in 1225 screen space even with a Excellent Word of Mouth…

    I am sure one thing either a budget or screen space mentioned above is incorrect and thats for sure.

    How can you publish this without finding a correct figure..

    This is a suicidal attempt and no body in the industry will do this…

    Thanks

  • @pokemon exactly bro.
    Screw these movies, I’ll be watching Deadpool at an Imax screen tomorrow.
    Might watch Fitoor based on WOM response. Sanam Re looks dull to me, plus its a spin-off of a Turkish movie, moreover can’t bare Pulkit Samrat as the lead actor.
    Also surprised to know that Fitoor needs 75 cr just go recover costs, what were the makers thinking ? Plus they’ve given it such a limited release on top of that.
    To conclude, I feel Deadpool will outdo both these movies tomorrow.
    Fingers crossed.
    Deadpool !!!!!

  • If any of these films collect 7cr or 3cr indicine will update an artical that the difference is 15% so we have predicted accurate probably 6th consecutive prediction… lmfao… silly

  • @indicine Singh is Bling world television premiere has performed really well…
    Scored 7.4 trp …
    Pls post something this as well…

  • @somebuddhi mukherjee

    Bebo starrer ‘Life of Ki’ will take a disastrous start at the BO once trailer releases n ppl realise its no sequel to ‘Life of Pi’ but a crappy remake of sorts where Bebo tries to house train an ape child ie Arjuna Kapoor…!

    Opening less than 1cr

  • I watched this evening firoor in Qatar.

    Film rating 1.5*
    Aditya Roy kapoor : 3*
    Katrina kaif: 2
    Tabu: 3*
    Music:1*

    Overall:Booooring. Don’t waste your money.

  • Lamhe being such a beautiful movie was rejected by the masses of India – masala movies are only accepted. Lamhe was released +-20 years ago – has the audience changed in their thinking? I wonder. I will definitely watch the movie as I prefer a movie with class.

  • It’s a well known fact that small film directors who are given a huge budget for their next ventures loose their minds. Queen director Vikas delivered a terrible film like Shandar, Anurag’s Bombay Velvet and Rock On, Kai PoChe director Abhishek has a 75 cr budget Fitoor which looks like a failure itself.

  • Aditya did mistake in chosen past few movies.
    He did Sapport role in Yeh jawani he …that was a mistake.

    However it was signed by him before Aashiqui….but…
    Due to this buzz is not with him

    Shahid Kapoor was better option despite

  • Deadpool will crush both sanam re and fitoor at the box office! Katrina don’t mess with MARVEL, You’re finished!

  • Katrina if u refuse to work with akshay
    Ur level will be back again to seduce gulshan grover

    Worst big actress in history of bollywood
    I mean performer
