Punit Malhotra, the director of ‘I Hate Luv Storys’, returns with yet another romantic comedy for Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions. The film features Imran Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan, the lead pair of ‘Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu’.
More than 3 years ago, Imran was going through a similar phase in his career. Two of his films (Kidnap and Luck) had tanked without a trace at the box office. It was Malhotra’s last film ‘I Hate Luv Storys’ that revived his career, after which he delivered hits like Delhi Belly and Mere Brother Ki Dulhan.
This year too hasn’t been great for the actor, as two of his most promising films Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola and Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbaai Dobaara have failed to set the cash registers ringing. Will Malhotra’s Gori Tere Pyaar Mein once again prove to be the turning point in his career?
Well, it won’t be easy, as competition is stiff this weekend. The audience is spoilt for choices! Krrish 3 is still doing well at single screens, Ram Leela is performing very well at multiplexes and this week’s release Singh Saab The Great is likely to open well in the North. Also, there is Bullett Raja and R… Rajkumar releasing in the weeks to come.
Moving on to the positives, the trailer of Gori Tere Pyaar Mein has been received well and the music has caught up too. Also, Dharma Productions, arguably the biggest production house in the industry, has produced the film.
Considering all the factors and the star cast of the film, we expect Gori Tere Pyaar Mein to take a decent start on Friday. The opening day business is likely to be around 5-6 crore, the rest would obviously depend on the audience verdict.
Box Office Predictions for the remaining days below.
IF VERY GOOD (positive word-of-mouth)
- Weekend – 23 crore
- First Week – 36 crore
- Final – 55 crore plus
IF AVERAGE (mixed response)
- Weekend – 21 crore
- First Week – 32 crore
- Final – 45 crore
IF BAD (worst case scenario)
- Weekend – 17 crore
- First Week – 25 crore
- Final – 30 crore (Flop)
For films with strong content, sky is the limit. We have seen how films like Aashiqui 2, OMG! Oh My God, Kahaani, Vicky Donor and many more have gone from strength-to-strength after a slow start. If Gori Tere Pyaar Mein turns out to be an exceptionally well made film, anything is possible!
What do you think – Will Gori Tere Pyaar Mein be a HIT or Flop at the box office? Which film do you plan to watch this weekend? Tell us!
Also, do post your predictions below!
b/w 40-50 cr .. not more than that
it going to be flop….
Ramleela..great movie
it will be super hit.look like a good story.
It will earn about 37 crores… Flop….
Indicine so if it earns 55crores or 40 crores what would be the verdict?
And if films like Grand masti can earn 100crores this movie also should have the potential. Waitin for it.
Lifetime 55 Cr+

Average/flop. .sad but it’s the truth. .how many movies ppl will go for in the same month?
MUSIC IS SUPERHIT
Hit movie…
Its going to be average..Coz it’s competitor like SSTG,Bulett Raja,RR are also received positives…
Ram Leela will come out with the best numbers this weekend. .
even 50 cr is a tough task
Hit.
The music is already a hit. So, looks all likely to be a hit movie.
frankly to say GTPM is a fresh movie of 2013..itz Trailer, itz music, itz promo, itz cast, itz crue, itz production everything luking very promising..but fact is that nowadays audience don’t like to watch any fresh film..atleast they want a kiss scene! Whatever, im gonna watch it tomorrow..All the best Team GTPM!!
HIT
Collections will depend hugely on WOM as the film is set to clash with Singh Saab the great.
Gori tere pyaar mein looks very good from the trailers and dialogue promos. Songs are great and peppy too. I would definitely watch it this friday.
FLOP!! Because of krrish3, ram leela and r rajkumar…
Music is catchy
Intresting promo
it is already done half work….nw content will decide……
SUPER HIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
<65crores lifetime.
Verdict : Superhit.
Blockbluster movie
Bad luck arrives this time also for Imran khan. Movie not looking promissing . Haven’t look something special in movie trailor. And Also major compitition from singh saab the great makes way terrible for GTPM in north india and single screens . Imran is a good actor but he has to needs work in good storyline movie.
It will be tough because R… Rajkumar coming
Gtmp is superhit, because in 2013 every romantic film did good plus music become superhit.
It will be a super hit film insha Allah! All the best to #GTPM and team
Honestly speaking, I don’t have much expectations from it, and I think it will struggle to get a ‘Hit’ status.
Super Hit
Total 40 cr maximum because of screen size and compition with ramleela and sing saheb and also next frieday new realease of saif definetly film looking good but its hart to collect to more then 40 cr.
Flop
