When it comes to predicting the first day collections of Bollywood movies released in 2015, #IndicineFBO predictions have always been accurate. But even when it comes to inaccurate predictions, the difference percentage wasn’t too high.
Unfortunately, with Bombay Velvet we didn’t even get close to getting it right. Our predictions were 45% higher than the first day collections of the film.
While there were fears of a disastrous opening, not a single trade source that we spoke to, expected the film to take a 5 crore opening. For a film released on 2600 screens, the screen average of Bombay Velvet is lower than a film like Shamitabh and Detective Byomkesh Bakshi!
Interestingly, only two predictions of major films have gone wrong this year and both featured Ranbir Kapoor.

@indicine: Some sites are saying that Gabbar needs 5crs more to be a clean hit,plz shed some light!
today it will be 4crs
@ARJUN KAPOOR FAN ALWAYS MADE FUN OF EMRAAN HASHMI AND HIS FILM MR X 3D Calling it CRAP and WORST FILM OF BTOWN , now take this.
BV LIFETIME WILL BE COMPETING WITH MR X 3D ‘s 30cr lifetime.
It can or it will end less than MrX collection who was directed by rejected film-maker VIKRAM BHATT which got bad hateful reviews.
Now take that. BV lifetime less than MrX on 1000 more screens.
Thank you.
@babaji gabbar budget is 72 cr
movie already cross 80 cr mark today
lifetime will come around @indicine prediction 89 cr which is huge..
distribution shares cross 40 cr mark…
gabbar turn out to be a hit verdict…
There are idiotic critics who always want specific type of films to succeed and specific type of films to fail.
Looking at reviews of MrX , it was clear that critics were hateful and making personal hateful remarks against vikram bhatt .
Even though i hate vikram bhatt , but it is not right to call him ghost,oldie , mentalist in a film review of his dream film Mr.X .
All emraan haters(ranbir fans,youngistan) , first give a hit with new heroines, low profile banner , less dramebaazi n PR hype and then talk .
Not only you are wrong
All are start over projecting
this over rated industry kid.
Ranbir is even less star value
than Varun in mass.
Now only Deepika save Ranbir a**
Shocking numbers ! Bollywood investors needs to be more realistic ! DBB is a period drama but their budget is moderate approx 20 CR’s ! So why BV makers invest so much money on that period drama ! AK’s movies never score 30crs net if I m not wrong ! Then why they invest so much ? Hard to understand !
WOW! Anushka darling, you made history today. You were a part of PK (the highest grossing Bollywood movie of all time) and now you are a part of Bombay velvet (the all time disaster of Bollywood). You should do more movies like NH10, sweetie. I love you Anushka and Indicine of- course!
This movie reminded me of ‘Marigold’ the cult disaster! lol
it doesnt take much except common sense to predict really!!
the promos of all three films gabbar piku and bombay velvet were atrocious,..
only dum laga ke haisha was little sensible..
its time the richer became little less rich and shown that they can be an embarassment to the world..
that will be the real show time folks
Tamasha will be a super hit for sure
@babaji ka thullu Well said. Some sensible Akki fans here. Waiting for Brothers.
Ranbir’s nd salmans Fans r 2rs Ppls..
salman is baaP of flops nd ranbir beta of flops .
piku and pk are at extreme corners of collection..!!
indicine should now be more pragmatic and stop having high aspirations
8.8 cr is too much for a no star movie like dil dhadanke do.
haha ek paheli leela opened to a higher box office
The Lootera expert n kindergarten dropout nipoon wants to blame Producers for spending way too much money on a crappy film like BV but when it comes to defending his alien Jadoo Boys ambitious flops/ expensive films like Bong Bong or Non Flying Kites he argues they were made for the ‘betterment’ of hindi cinema….
Biggest chameleon ever or just a poor old confused village idiot- take your pick
Hoping DDD flops so that the krk apprentice can leave this site once n for all….
Not since Lootera has the audience rejected a movie as much despite nipuns favourable reviews- his admiration for the crappy music anyway….
there is a guy on our site who said BV will collect more than 20 cr opening…n indicine predictions r going to be beaten badly bla bla…n many bad things ..fact is prediction went wrng but collectns r too terrible so nw that guy is running with is multiple id thing cmnting like gone mad…
nt ur fault indicine atleast u predicted before it will be disaster
This is completely shocking. 5 cr opening of a Superstar film (for me RK is still a Superstar irrespective of its opening), very sad for him.I know he will bounce back strongly because he is talented but he should take failure in positive way.RK still have guts to do experimental movie,I hope that won’t change after this.
Ever since YjHD been a huge success there are a continuous negativity rising against Ranbir since then and the timely two bad films from Kashyap brothers strengthened them.
The film industry going through bad patch after PK.The highest grosser of this year is F&f 7 which collected 93cr which was short than pk 2nd week collection.No film is able to cross PK 2nd weekend 52 cr figure this year yet in its first weekend.A huge set back for industry.This will broken by Salman’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan. But I had said way before that 2015 will prove to be bad year for industry.
Dil dhadakne do will be the 1st 100 crore film of the year n it will be hugely liked by the audiences n critics as well just mark my words.
films like these and the great gatsby and period films need a lot of patient watch..
period costumes and looks are not accepted by contemporary public looking for popcorn munching entertainment. the public needs edge of the seat excitement which sorry to say hindi films do not readily provide..
which is why all hindi films have flopped..
pike people may celebrate the success bu the truth is that it was big time bore
deepika didn’t allow irfan even to touch her elbow…!!!
music is not an essential ingredient neither necessary.. a top class film works on the script.only..like dum laga ke haisha an immensely likeable film for me
the hollywood is bombarding us with top class action films and the educated class would rather watch those than the insipid fare like pike and gabber…
ha ha ha ha ha!! All Time Disaster!! ROFL!! As I said!! I just hate this Rabbit Kapoor because of his smile-less face and too much attitude of his!!
@Indicine, you should have mentioned YLJD or Billu in the list as well.
@King Aamir Khan Fan, shut up!! We can say a lot more about Aamir but we don’t want because he is a Bhai’s friend!!
@Aamir’s Fans, take care of this fellow, the so-called Aamir fan!!…………
@ Anand_The Original :
Please tell me what is YLJD . lol …
@niraAnand_the_fake Aamir stood beside Lallu at the time when he got a shock of life as his gf left him to join Ranbir. He tried to help Lallu but unfortunately for him Lallu again patched up with Sarook king kong. So, there is no need to support a criminal. Besides, he was giving back to back disasters, Aamir did not like it and helped Lallu to build up a fan base. However, Lallu Khan got moronic fans like you, its his bad luck. Not Aamir or me is responsible for this. lol
