After all the initial hassles – what with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan being ousted from the project and the first-choice Kareena Kapoor replacing her – the keenly awaited Heroine finally releases in theatres tomorrow.
The film has been made on a budget of 23 crores and an additional 9 crores was spent on print and marketing, taking the total costs to Rs 32 crores. UTV will be releasing the film on 2300-2400 screens. (Source: Madhur Bhandarkar)
The trailer was liked, ‘Halkat Jawani’ is a chartbuster and although the film has no leading man to add face-value, Kareena Kapoor has a strong enough fan-following to bring in the crowds, especially since it’s a Madhur Bhandarkar directed film.
We expect the opening day to be around 8 crores and then depending on the word-of-mouth the film could touch the 30 crore mark over the weekend.
Heroine HIT or FLOP Box office Prediction
IF GOOD (positive word-of-mouth)
- Weekend – 32 crores
- Weekdays – 15 crores
- Week 1 Total – 47 crores
- Final – 70 crores+
IF AVERAGE (mixed response)
- Weekend – 28 crores
- Weekdays – 13 crores
- Week 1 Total – 41 crores
- Final – 55 crores+
IF BAD (worst case scenario)
- Weekend – 25 crores
- Weekdays – 11 crores
- Week 1 Total – 36 crores
- Final – 40 crores
The fact that Barfi is doing exceedingly well might affect Heroine at multiplexes, more so if the response is mixed.
Otherwise, Heroine is a fairly safe film. The costs are low and the satellite rights are likely to fetch a very good price.

kareena fall to vidya…lol
hit
Ek Tha Tiger heads towards 200 cr…. Raaz3 is biggest hit of Bhatts…. Barfi opens to fab response… Bollywood shinning!
Heroine 100% flop n reject by audience 4 boring story n slowwwww pace AVOID n save money.
The movie is too much happening …. its too negative, didn’t like it Fashion and Priyanka were far superior.
Its a very cynical approach how heroines get awards, films, how they manupilate . Then there are too many real life situations like raveena pouring wine, Preeti Zinta buying IPL shilpa shetty reality show and then marriage etc. If u ask me people should sue the filmmakers for showing their life in such a bad spirit.
Dont go to the theatre and waste time watch Barfi instead or watch uttran on television. The movie is something like this show very negative and tons of melodrama
I have seen movie only for Madhur’s make, but i disappointed with the movie. Ya! Movie is on average.
heroin is superhit movie. excilent song halkat jawani
it is a blockbuster.dont think of collection.flim is ossom
weekend gross has been updated. The movie is thus an AVERAGE to FLOP. Kareena has a long way to go.
Hit…..i loved kareena’s performance.. she was super
kareena is my fav heroine kareena your film is blockbuster i luvv you kareena
Flop – seems like a modern copy of film the dirty picture. But excellent acting by Kareena
super hit, because this the reality of bollywood…
