Kambakht Ishq released on July 3rd 2009 and was slammed by the critics. The response from the audience was mixed, but the film today completes its 50 day run at the box office, quite a rarity in the multiplex era.
The Akshay Kumar film did well in its first weekend, witnessed a drop on its first Monday and eventually crashed in its second week. But surprisingly the mindless comic caper, also starring Kareena Kapoor, has managed to sustain to complete its 50 day run, with the collections remaining on the lower side.
There is no clarity over the nett Indian gross of Kambakht Ishq, but according to our calculations, should be nothing more than 48 – 49 crores; which is good but below average for a movie starring one of the biggest stars in Bollywood today.
Well…um…as Priyanka Chopra has said: “Garbage in, garbage out.” What has changed in 50 days?
super movie,
DO U MEAN UR CALCULATIONS frm THIS ARTICLE R WRONG……..????????
SO THAT MEAN U DON’T HAVE ANY CORRECT CALCULATIONS…..???????????
Well, many have been arguing endlessly over the box office figures of Kambakht Ishq and Shahrukh Khan’s Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.. To clear it up, we have the official numbers of both films.
Kambakht Ishq has just released, hence we only have the opening weekend numbers. The film has done exceptional business over the weekend with a net gross of almost 25 crores including the paid preview shows on Thursday.
The figures of SRK’s Rab Ne.. too were almost the same. It remains to be seen which film will end up the bigger earner at the Indian box-office.
Note:- Aamir Khan’s Ghajini isn’t even in the picture here, it was miles ahead of both films with a nett gross of more than 30 crores over the weekend.
Here you go, the official opening weekend and week-by-week figures of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.
Opening weekend – 25 crores
Week 1 – 42.20 Crores
Week 2 – 24.60 Crores
Week 3 – 9.30 Crores
Week 4 – 4.90 Crores
Week 5 – 3.05 Crores
Week 6 – 1.25 Crores
Week 7 – 0.68 Crores
Week 8 – 0.30 Crores
Total – 86.28 (8 weeks)
Kambakht Ishq
Opening weekend – 24.50 crores
Week 1 – 42 crores
Week 2 – 10 crores
There is lack of clarity with the first week numbers of Kambakht Ishq. Different sources have different figures and our very own calculations too differed from the official numbers (mentioned below)
Week 1 worldwide – 100 crores
Week 1 India (gross) – 70 crores
Week 1 India (nett gross) – 42 crores
So going by the official figures, Kambakht Ishq and Rab Ne are on par. Can the Akshay Kumar film do business of 25 crores or more in Week 2? Lets wait and watch.
Week 2 update: Unfortunately, KI has recorded extremely poor collections in week 2, to take its two week total to 52 crores in India.
After week 2 the collections of KAMBAKKHT ISHQ r 52 CRORES……….
so why r u saying not more than 49 CRORES ???????????
the same EROS gave 45 CRORES nett figures for love aaj kal …….thus if there KAMBAKKHT ISHQ figures ((42 CRORES nett )) was wrong than there LOVE AAJ KAL figures r also wrong !!!!!

This is ridiculous. The Indicine people have already clarified on the website about how box office figures are calculated – they are just reporting their verdict. Those who are trying to convert it into a war between the stars are showcasing their lack of thought and understanding.
Frankly, Akshay Kumar is wayyyy above all this trash – he is a superb performer with best sense of timing in comedies (his Bhul Bhulaiya and Hera Pheri are classic examples). Just one movie (KI for example) or a box office report cant even dent his star value and talent. BUT by making it a petty war of comments, you people are degrading Akshay!!!!!! DON’T do that – don’t stoop to the level!!!
