Here’s a quick update and review on IndicineLBO, where we predict the lifetime box office collections of upcoming films.
Welcome Back: Anees Bazmee’s sequel to the 2007 film ‘Welcome’ opened very well at the box office and showed excellent growth in business in its first weekend. There were expectations that it would go on to be a massive hit at the box office. The film passed the ‘Monday test’ but business started dipping during the remaining weekdays. ‘Welcome Back’ is set to finish with lifetime business of around 100 crore, which is about 16% off the mark. Inaccurate.
Hero: Salman Khan went all out to promote ‘Hero’ and the two debutants, but the audience has rejected the film after a fairly good opening day. Last year’s Heropanti finished with lifetime business of 51 crore, Hero will end with net box office collections of 35 crore. LBO prediction was 38 crore. Accurate.
Katti Batti: Nikhil Advani’s poor run is likely to continue with his second back-to-back release ‘Katti Batti’. The makers used Aamir Khan to promote the promote the film, but like Salman Khan the previous week, the result will be the same. In fact, looking at the trends and the star cast (Kangana Ranaut after ‘Tanu Weds Manu Returns’), Katti Batti will be the bigger loser. Our prediction: 24 cr.

Navin, Tiger n Ultron A Salmaniac had predicted that Hero will do more than Heropanti(which wasn’t backed by any Superstar) and will do business of 75-100 crores. These people should now splash Gobar on their overconfident faces and roam in their societies riding on a donkeys.
Stupid Foolish Morons !!!
@ Maaria or whatever- U want the 3 Khan’s to do 4 movies per year and block all the biggest holidays, are U out of ur mind, I mean at the age of 50, do they have the time, energy n inclination to do so much work. Come out of ur dreamy world as soon as possible.
@fasal : Keep dreaming, result will be same as last 7 years that is SRK ending up on 2nd or 3rd. PRDP may or may not beat BB and PK but Dilwale will not even beat D3 – 284 crs (with clash) and BB 320 crs (without Clash). This is my challenge not only to you but all SRK fans !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Challa : I knew it is Nikhil Advani in KKHH (on Neelam show) after Salaam-e-Ishq !!!!!!!!!! :)
indicine. u change ur prediction even after the weekend or 1st week. so its not a big deal that u showed ur maximum predictions accurate.
PRDP can’t cross last year Diwali release HNY(178cr) mark my words.
@Issa dear come on the earth dear none of SLB film were super hit till date n BM don’t have any bankable star if the wom is like devdas/hddcs which is unlikely as slb lost his old touch in past few films then 85cr possible if wom is average/bad then 30cr will be the uphill task
haha welcome back cant even collect 100cr
I said it before and I will keep on saying it actress in bollywood or in all india film industries are nothing but a gabbage. They have less use just like in real life. Male rules not female also in film industries. This stupid kangana will now bow her head down and kneel. she though she was a puller haha from puller to pusher. Your end has come waiting for Depika and priyanka BM flop. Sorry imran and ranveer in advance for working with ladies who think they pullers. But they are nothing but a kachra pusher
hopefully indicine’s prediction get inaccurate results for upcoming films….
