Hrithik Roshan’s Mohenjo Daro was touted as one of the biggest films of 2016, but the end result has come as a shocker, as the film could well be the biggest loser of the year when it comes to the amount of money the investors will lose on the Ashutosh Gowarikar film.
The satellite rights were said to be ‘pre-sold’ for 45 crore, but the way the film has performed, the amount could be re-negotiated as there is always a box office performance clause for such big deals.
Mohenjo Daro Business Economics breakdown:
- Total Investment: ?124 crore (cost of production 108 crore + P&A 16 crore)
- Satellite rights: ?45 crore (will be re-negotiated)
- Music and digital rights: ?13 crore
- To be recovered from domestic and overseas: 66 crore
Out of the Rs 66 crore that the film had to recover through theatrical business, Mohenjo Daro’s share from the overseas business will be around 10-11 crore. Domestic (India) share will be under 30 crore. So the film has recovered 41 crore through theatrical business.
UTV Motion Pictures and Ashutosh Gowarikar will lose around 25-30 crore of their investment. When the losses from the satellite rights is factored in, it could even cross the 40 crore mark.
Approximate figures of how much Mohenjo Daro had to collect in India for various verdicts
- Under 60 crore: Disaster
- Under 90 crore: Flop
- Break even 120 crore: Semi Hit
- Above 130 crore: HIT
- Above 180 crore: Super Hit
- Above 250 crore: Blockbuster
When a film hasn’t even collected half of its investment from domestic theatrical business, the verdict cannot be anything other than a ‘disaster’.
Mohenjo Daro Verdict – Disaster
Look look- Bhaitards have arrived …!
Intriguing habits of some Indicine visitors:
1. Word ROFL, KING KHAN used by sss in all comments. His use of phrase “wife beaten star”.
2. Posting each comment twice by NVS
3. Use of exclamation marks (!!!!!) by hrithik in each comment
4. Arjun Youngistan Fan reacting when a hollywood movie is praised
5. Efforts of navin to ensure his each comment is funny and sarcastic
6. “Critical” reviews of nipun and his trolls
7. Continuous claims of Destroyer of Khans about his accurate predictions.
Akshay kumar naam hi kafi hai.
The thing is hrithik needs maha outstanding trailers on national holidays to give good opening. That shows he is more like 2nd fvrt actor especially of Akki and srks fans.
This is y MD flop as hrithik and akki have many common fans ,but hrithik is like 2nd fvrt and same will happen when he will clash with SRK .
Very sad for hritik sir …! Hr gave 2 years for md .and result came under the verdict..disater…!
But …u r such a hardworker man ..i respect ..u..!! u should have given 2 years for best movie ..md looking ordanary tedious type after the watching trailor ..! But not worry ..u will come back like salman sir ..!! :) best of luck for your next project…!!
@KHALNAYAK : Yes you are. For domestic collections only profit for producers/makers is not enough , it is also depends on the recovery for distributors money. If makers in profit and distributors are in loss then such a movie cannot be termed as a Hit. Even for Jai Ho some distributors had lost money and producers were in profit much before its release hence verdict is Above Average/Semi Hit !!!!!!!!
@The Phenom : Looks like you are terrified from Bhaitards !!!!!!! Such a reaction shows we send the shivers down lungitards spines !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lol
@Sachi baat : Bilkul sahi kaaha bhai. I will try to cut down on excalmations (!!!!!).
Thanks for observing and providing feed back. Have a bless day. :-)
Why ppl are sad for Hrithik he got 50 cr which is more than theatrical share ( approx 37 cr ) of film from all world should be sad for Producers who suffered huge losses Actor n director earned money
@hrithik
It’s more like Bhaitards are terrified if Kaabil doesn’t clash with Raees …. Such insecure idiots !
Wishing bad on others is helping u nowadays coz God is with u – but remember He will leave u one day if u continue such things .
Before premier, HR fans be like : it’s from famous director, not to mention who makes the music.
Oscar winner AR Rehman. It’s gonna be blockbuster.
Well, life is a mystery. Stop hoping too much so you won’t get disappointed. Goodluck for his Kaabil
Even Susant singh Rajput has refused to do MD it is Hrithik Roshan ego who let him down , and this man does not respect family and women . this is the result of it .
The Phenom : 9:58 am
The reality is you know very well who are insecure retards nowadays for not getting a solo release even on Republic Day. I had wished Raees to come on Bakrid as solo release, check Baar Baar Dekho article comments. If I were insecure why would I wish for Raees solo release on Bakrid ? Looks like 3 debacles in a row have seriously impacted SRK fans. Get well soon !!!!!!!
