Akshay Kumar’s Baby is still going steady at the domestic box office, but the film will fail to beat the 2012 record of Agneepath (starring Hrithik Roshan and Priyanka Chopra) and should also fall 15-20% short of last year’s highest January grosser Jai Ho (featuring Salman Khan)
While Baby still has an outside chance of crossing the 100 crore mark, it looks difficult at this stage as the film has only collected Rs 78.67 crore in 11 days. Only three films released in the first month of the year have crossed the 100 crore mark.
Amitabh Bachchan’s Shamitabh is the big release this week, a film that is expected to take a decent start at the box office.
Top 3 Highest Grossers of January

January shows the true star power of stars. Even Salman Khan and Hrithik couldn’t cross 125 crores in this month. Even SRK will not. Only perfectionist Khan Aamir can do it. If an Aamir film releases in January he will do 300 crores easily.
I was hoping Baby at least would collect 100 cr but Very sad to see great film like Baby doing such an average job in the box office.
Agneepath had underperfermed despite being one of the best deshi masala bollywood films of the decade. 121 crores lifetime was nothing considering its huge opening day collection! I was expecting it to do around 140-150 crores !
As for Baby, its lifetime should be around 93-98 crores!
i like agneepath, brilliant acting by hR , its okey for baby 90 cr hit status
i like agneepath, brilliant acting by hR , its okey for baby 90-95 cr hit status
Movies like Jai Ho and Race 2 must have been replaced this year but so sad that it did not…
It’s very tough to break record of agneepath. This record will be safe next year too.
I am so sad for baby not crossing 100 cr mark. Now I am waiting for shamitabh
I also expected Baby to beat Agneepath and Rowdy Rathore but i did not understand that Baby was not for masses . Baby is undoubtedly the Best film of January in the last 4 years and Agneepath comes second this is my honest opinion despite being a Hrithikian . Jai Ho and Race 2 were average movies . I would be really happy to see Baby collects 100 CR because such kind of movies deserves to be a part of 100 CR Club . If that does not happen i want Baby to be a Hit just like Special 26 who also did not collect 100 CR but was successful and is now regarded as a Cult Classic . Even Akshay said Movies like Baby find it difficult to collect 100 CR but i am happy it is doing well . Thumbs Up to the Entire Team of Baby for giving us such a Brilliant and Kickass Movie . Eagerly waiting to see the verdict of Hit . I will be really happy that day . I am glad to see that my article will be updated every month . Thank You @ Indicine . You Rock Big Time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
without any promotion baby colect 78 cr. in 11 days just wow for akki. and love to Baby.
Baby earn respect not money like jai ho/ agneepath.
baby earn respect not money like jai ho/agneepath.
@ indicine this is unfair to comare both film to each other both have different film . I am so happy that film does well . Love u akki sir .
I am very sad at this piece of news. Well i hope atleast it comes within top 3 grossers of the month.
T Series announced sequel 2 Baby. Titled “Baby Ki Potti” featuring Akshay coz his personality suit that role too.
Salmanz starpower is visible with jai ho both agni n baby were appreciatd films
baby should get hit status
Ha ha ha @troll you are completely fool Christmas is amir safe zone
Think about November 2012
Jthj 123 cr
Sos 105 cr
And
Talash 90 cr
Remember ha ha ha
Even ajay touch 100 cr in same month with big clash and other side amir struggling for znmd record
Babe deserve a avg status not a complete hit
When a movie is high on quality i dont see collections.
I loved Baby.
and 90-95 life time is not a bad number for a thriller movie.only matter is the low opening otherwise it would have surely crossed 100 cr if the opening was on 12-13 cr mark.anyways now i am waiting for neeraj’s next movie – MS DHONI.
Baby should get an above avg. to semihit verdict..
I think the shocker was’nt the opening,it was always expected to open around that mark but its trending was the biggest surprise despite getting rave reviews.
Holiday 1st week was 68crs,while BABY’s is 63.5crs..but holiday managed 113crs lifetime while baby is struggling.
I know BABY was not meant for low IQ sallu fans like v.shantaram,bluffmaster…
@bluffmaster:so u mean one should do bad films in order to show his b.o stardom??
Saala achi film karo toh problem,nai karo to bhi problem!!
dont worry it will get hit (85-90) hit, 125 superhit, 160 bb
My megha predicted this. she is so intelligent thats why i love her so much.
please combine the satelite rights + overseas collection+ domestic collections of baby.
then tell me. if producers celebrated success party bash, photos posted on most websites, they revealed it collected 120 cr already!! why cant u accept that??
its only the 12th day of release. wait for 2 more weeks, as theatres have steady audience.
dont make any conclusions now..too early.
Holiday trended much better than baby with out holiday benifit
What ever box office status is, but baby is the finest move of last 25 years, all the best to baby team for wonderful work. We expect same kind of movie from bollywood rather than crape remakes with fake items songs and double body action
This is Called THE STAR POWER OF HRITHIK
JANUARY MONTH CONSIDERED AS BIGGEST JINX FOR HINDI FILM INDUSTRY BUT HRITHIK MADE HISTORY WITH AGNEEPATH WHICH SET SINGLE DAY RECORDS AT THAT TIME N UNBREAKABLE LIFETIME TILL DATE N MANY SUPERSTARS FAILED IN THIS TIME.
SO BIGGEST SUPERSTAR OF HINDI FILM INDUSTRY IS ONE N ONLY BANG BANG ! STAR HRITHIK ROSHAN BECAUSE HE MAKE HISTORY IN BAD DAYS.
SO SAD FOR BABY BECAUSE I PERSONALLY WANT THAT BABY SHOULD BREAK AGNEEPATH LIFETIME RECORD
when movie is high on quality i dont care about collection.
i loved baby.
90+ lifetime is a good figure for a serious thriller.
only one disappointment was the opening.had it opening of 12-13 nd 2nd day of 14-15 than it would have crossed 100 also.
anyways – now i m waiting for neeraj’s next movie MS Dhoni.
Baby deserved a better result. I loved the movie,hope it trend well to get At least HIT.
@kShitij srivastevar
Easy old timer- you talk about low iq fans of other groups but you consider yourself and nipun kumari as intellectual harvardians all of a sudden aswell as sensible…! In my book being a chameleon doesnt equate to a high IQ status- look at some buddha and that should tell the whole story… No you not smart as you n nipun like to believe despite boring eachother to sleep with cheap backhanded compliments on twitter…. You need to get of your high horse or in your case the donkey n accept the truth which is your IQ level is no greater than your shoe size…!
Baby deserved more than this…. He deserved a better upbringing than the one nipun has so far given him- poor baby nipun… Also poor Baby the movie- it deserved a much better review than the crapfest baby nipun gave it…. Poor baby
