Hrithik Roshan films: Gap between two movie releases

Hrithik Roshan’s Mohenjo Daro and Kaabil are releasing 168 days or 6 months apart, making it the least gap between two Hrithik films after the blockbuster success of Krrish and Dhoom 2 in 2006.

The biggest gap between two of the superstar’s films was when Kites released 827 days (28 months / nearly 2 and a half years) after Jodha Akbar. The next big gap came with 2012’s Agneepath and 2013’s Krrish 3.

On an average, Hrithik releases one film per year.

The below analysis also rubbishes the myth that actors who release two or more films per year are at a serious disadvantage, as Krrish and Dhoom 2 released 5 months apart and both were all-time record-openers and record-grossers. In fact, Krrish and Dhoom 2 were the top grossers of the year.

On the other hand, we have Kites and Guzaarish, both releasing 6 months apart, and both failing to do well at the box office – even though Kites was a record-opener.

  • Krrish and Dhoom 2 – 155 days (5 months)
  • Dhoom 2 and Jodha Akbar – 449 days (15 months)
  • Jodha Akbar and Kites – 827 days (28 months)
  • Kites and Guzaarish – 183 days (6 months)
  • Guzaarish and Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara – 235 days (8 months)
  • Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and Agneepath – 200 days (7 months)
  • Agneepath and Krrish 3 – 646 days (22 months)
  • Krrish 3 and Bang Bang – 336 days (11 months)
  • Bang Bang and Mohenjo Daro – 681 days (23 months)
  • Mohenjo Daro and Kaabil – 168 days (6 months)
  • Average gap between two films - 370 days (12 months i.e 1 film per year)

We will be doing similar analysis of other actors in the next few days, so stay tuned for that.

  • Amazing article Indicine.. it’s for such articles that I keep visiting your site 15 times everyday

    Hrithik should do more films. Can’t believe he released Jodha Akbar nearly 3 years after he hit his career peak with Krrish and D2. :(

  • Hritik has limited stardorm but his films open well at BO due to gap of release n anticipation or expectation. But when hritik films release on less gap his films open poorly n turn Disaster. Example despite a Flop films kites open well because it comes 2yr after Jodha akber but hr next film Guzarish release in less gap open with a disasterous ocupancy

  • Good Article from @indicine….

    in Tamil Rajini movies releasing in hige gap between 4 years… ( Robot to Kochadayan )
    but in kerala Malayalam superstars mohanlal & mammuetty Releasing 5 to 6 movies per year….they are not looking to box office record…
    only content oriented movies get huge Appreciation & box office in kerala…
    example :-
    mohanlal is a biggest superstar in kerala along with mammuetty…
    highest collected movie of mohanlal
    Drishyam – 80 cr (2013)
    but (loham) only 3 cr flopped in 2015
    what a different only content worked in kerala not like bollywood…. But 2016 bollywood is looking like strong content oriented movies…. All the best for bollywood……….

  • Going by this trend, both Mohen Jo Daro & Kaabil are flops just like Kites & Guzaarish

    Not even Rakesh Roshan calculator will help this time

  • @Romance King.. worry about your romance king’s falling career. You kept saying Bajirao will get postponed, it didn’t happen. Then you said it will be crushed and Dilwale will do 300 with clash. It didn’t happen.

    If you know nothing.. atleast read Indicine article properly. They clearly mentioned two films.. Krrish and Dhoom 2 had least gap.. both were record openers. So please STFU.

    One thing is certain.. This Eid, nothing can save king from Sultan. Bajirao and SLB embarrassed him by taking revenge for Saawariya.. now Salman will put the final nail in the coffin by taking his own revenge for Jaanemann.. :D

  • Hrithik and Akshay are good friends. In fact they are good neighbors. Hrithik and Akshay praise about each other’s films on Twitter. Even if Mohenjo Daro and Rustom clash happens the box office clash wouldn’t be an ugly fight like we witnessed during JTHJ vs SOS ( Yash raj blocking single screens) or Dilwale vs Bajirao Mastani (Eros blocking most multiplex and single screens).

  • akshay can do 9 films between the gap of jodha akbar and kites so why hrithik did only 2 movies? he had fear of failure and he got with kites and guzaarish.

  • Hey Romance King… Hrithik’s movie opening are on par with the Khans, and that doesn’t happen with limited statdom, HR’s fans love him not only because he is great performer, but also because he is great human being, his movies have always done well… despite not taking the crutches of a releasing movies only during holiday period… so just don’t be a blind ‘FAN’ and think before making such absurd comments.

  • @Neeraj ku thak rehi ho srk unbeatable in clash when comes to his generation actor salman amir hr ajay aki. Srk is Bazigar failior of Dilwale makes him more stronger never chose poor script. Dilwale v/s BM clash was one sided but BM proved content is the king. When SRK films clash with Other films(expect ashoka Dilwale) all of them had great content thats why SRK is called king of clashes.

  • Mohenjo Daro will get solo release. Akshya Kumar is a great human being & a good friend also. Although they both are very much professional.

  • HRITHIK = DESTROYER OF KHANS !

    Real Power of Makkhi Khans

    without EDX holidays

    Hrithik .. Bang Bang .. 181 Cr .. Gandhi Jayanti (clash)

    Salman .. Jai Ho .. 112 Cr .. Republic Day Holidays (solo)

    SRK .. MNIK .. 80 Cr .. Valentin Day holidays (solo)

    Aamir .. Talaash .. 95 Cr .. Normal day

  • Good article & Analysis Indicine.com
    but I already said this ( There are no disadvantages if films realease gap small) in my so many comments earlier but that not accept by Makkhi KHANS fans

    Don’t know why Makkhi Khans fans always predict Makkhi Khans Films beyond 200 Cr / 300 Cr despite Khans are not as Biggest Star as Hrithik Roshan.

    Oops … I forgot that EDX holidays gave More/Super Power to Khans Fans to predict their Khans Films beyond 200 Cr / 300 Cr because Khans always choose EDX holidays which is only positive points for Khans because Khans without EDX are below 112 Cr that collections too at Salman’s Career’s peak time when he hasn’t gave less than a blockbuster.

    KHANS without EDX ;
    Eid star Salman’s Jai Ho … 112 Cr
    Diwali star Srk’s MNIK … 80 Cr
    Xmas star Aamir’s Talaash … 95  Cr

    Still khans fans feel KHANS are bigger than
    ?Hrithik whose BANG BANG ! earned massive 181 Cr despite clash & release in two weaks of pre-diwali (Darkest PERIODS for Hindi Cinema) periods after 1st week of its release and that too without EDX periods. With just one EDX release KRRISH 3 does magic of 244 Cr at the Box Office.
    ?Akshay kumar whose four films earned more than 100 Cr without EDX periods
    ?Ajay’s films earned more than 140 Cr without EDX periods

    Khans are just EDX made stars & Nothing Else and Khans are poorly flops Star without EDX (Eid.Diwali.Xmas) Periods

    Truths always be truths and even if someone not accept the truths and The truth is that KHANS are FLOP STARS without EDX and KHANS successes are more power to EDX since decade (Last Ten years)

    So
    EDX POWER, NOT KHANS?, HRITHIK? POWERFUL

  • Hrithik is capable of doing 2 films per year,2017 will release Kaabil and maybe Kabir Khan’s film which will be awesome.

  • @fasal kerala, bro im also from Kerala.i cant beleive how u said Superster mohenlal, s loham just 3cr. Its opening day collection in kerala alone is 2.16cr and drishyam made 72cr and( 65 cr from theatre).i really like say that Dilwale made 1.2cr gross in kerala and that is highest ever for abollywood movie.

  • @Rocky no need to worry about the clash akki wins only clashes with tushaar when it comes to clashing with better and bigger actors from 2009-date he has an awful record. Hrithik is a giant near him. Yes they are neighbors but it’s said that akki frequently pays homage greetings to Hrithik unlike Hrithik who hardly knows he exist.
    @Yuvraj doing 9 films and 6 flops 1 hit 1 above average 1 semi hit is never a quality of a superstar. We like Hrithik releasing strategy why does it disturb you?

  • Akshay is an industry in himself, whereas others r just stars or superstars. The amount of employment that he creates for the industry by doing 4 movies in a year is more than what all the khans, kapoors n roshans provide combined. Hats off to Akshay.

  • I will suggest HR haters to stay away from this article plzz…what’s ur problem?? It’s His Life,His Career…let Him decide and You plz think about Your idols!! Despite all Your mocking HR is still no. 4 without ny movie ;-) and any Day His movie wl open on same level almost of Khans….and in holiday cn break any record(K3 4th Day :-) )so no doubt about His stardom(when BB released there was a hysteria even in multiplex on 1st day despite clash and very -ve review) so it’s proved that HR has a very high level stardom for sure!! Overall collection always depends on content & other factors haters(just remember Dilwale,Jai Ho,Talash & for Akki Sir there are so many)!!bt u cn still put ur nose in every HR article and bark baseless!! Time wl shut ur mouth….and time gap doesn’t decide neither hit nor flop!!
    Bt This analysis is simply superb…awsm hard work by Indicine :-) keep it up Indicine!!

  • i think hrithik will be no.1 star after the release of Mohenjodaro,kaabil and kabir’s movie…even god cant save khans this time…har har mahadev

  • @fasal kerala Feels gud 2see u here bro… I thought i was d only one frm kerala here. But now u r here. Keep active… All d best
