QnA: Why are Ranbir Kapoor films not working?

Q. Time and time again we have heard about the clashes between Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan. We now see that not only in India but in overseas too Aamir Khan has collections more than any SRK movie. So whom do we quantify as the No.1 actor in Bollywood? Is Aamir better than SRK? I think its the right time to ask this question since PK’s collection in China speaks a lot about this controversial question – Arijit Dutta

A. As far as the current standing in the industry is concerned, Aamir Khan is the undisputed No 1 star. PK has grossed more than Rs 700 crore worldwide, which is only a little lower than the ‘combined’ worldwide business of both Happy New Year and Kick! However, it would be hard for anyone to beat Shahrukh Khan’s consistency overseas. His films have been performing well for nearly 20 years now.

Q. What is the worldwide box office collection of Gabbar Is Back?

A. The worldwide box office collections of Gabbar Is Back is Rs 136 crore (gross). Overseas collections is 15.98 crore.

Q. What is the release date of ‘Raees’ starring Shahrukh Khan? – Mrityunjoy Chowdhury

A. Raees is scheduled to release during Eid next year. Expected date – 1st July.

Q. Why Ranbir Kapoor films are not working? Has he lost his star value? – Arpan Das

A. It’s just a phase that will pass. His last two films did not work because of wrong choices and Bombay Velvet always looked like a film that would fail. Insider reports of his upcoming film ‘Jagga Jasoos’ isn’t very positive either, but he has movies with filmmakers like Karan Johar (Ae Dil Hai Mushkil), Rajkumar Hirani (Sanjay Dutt biopic), Imtiaz Ali (Tamasha) and Ayan Mukerji (superhero film). All of them are super-successful filmmakers.

Q. What will be the opening day collections of brothers ? Will it cross Rowdy Rathore? – Ajay

A. This question has been asked several times. Since Brothers is releasing on a non-holiday, the collections are likely to be lower than 20 crore on Day 1. A more accurate prediction will be made once the trailer is out on June 10. As for beating the lifetime business of Rowdy Rathore, that will depend on content.

  • Indicine has answered it…..SRK HAS BEEN DOING IT CONSISTENTLY FOR THE PAST 20 YEARS….so unlike amir who got stardom 5 years before because of Raju hirani…..take the rakumar hirani and dhoom franchise 3 out, what is amir kahn’s overseas performance?????…….what about TALAASH’s overseas??????…………..SRK’s MNIK CROSSED 130cr in overseas in 2010 says it all…..SRK IS THE GLOBAL SUPERSTAR

  • No doubt aamir khan is no. 1 actor worldwide..apart from the lifetime business,the opening of his films are also huge..and Shahrukh Khan’s consistency is not hard but its next to impossible to beat.

  • Since independence day falls on Saturday,the collections of brothers on its opening day should maintain well throughout the day after a strong start in the morning..we have seen in the past that if the next day is a huge national holiday then collections on that day get a boost in the evening especially in the metros

  • If you track whole career of SRK from 1993 to 2007.
    93-yrf
    94-nothing
    95-yrf
    96-nothing
    97-yrf
    98-dharma
    99-nothing
    2000-yrf
    2001-dharma
    2002-srk supreme
    2003-dharma
    2004-yrf
    2005-nothing
    2006-dharma
    2007-srk supreme

    Only 2002 and 2007 were the years where he delivered big hits on his own.

    in 2004 his MHN was overshadowed by a YRF film.

    If SRK really had the real stardom than Dil se (98), Baadshah(99), Josh(2000), Asoka(2001), Swades(2004) should have been big hits like the big hits given by YRF and Dharma in 98,99,2000,2001,2004.

    So I have proved that since upto 2006 bollywood was controlled by two of its biggest production houses YRF and Dharma. So SRK was benefitted hugely in those years but now system of camps are fading so Aamir and Salman are dominating.

    Aamir doesnt need to stick to any production house to give a huge success, so he is undoubtedly bigger than the YRF-made-star Srk.

  • No questions on bhaijaan. Bhai fans are no more intrested after bhai giving crap after crap. Selfi le le is the latest crap.

  • rk is just going through a bad phase.he will definitely make an epic comeback with tamasha.meanwhile ddd trending towards 13.5+ today

  • Srk and consistancy? How many overseas Blockbusters dies he have without Yrf-dharma and deepika? He is zero without them. Srk is one of the actors in bollywood who stayed in bollywood due to spoonfeeding by two major studios.

  • @ajinkya u predicted ddd to b a crap disaster but look how ddd is performing better than legend akkis last 2classics-baby and gabbar both of which were released in 2800+ screens which ranver is yet to receive

  • I think Brothers will be the biggest opener of Akshay’s career and it should be . I think it can do good business overseas . This has been a good year for Akshay with Baby and GIB and i hope Brothers and SIB continue this winning streak . Currently there is no doubt that Aamir is no. 1 in Domestic, Overseas and Worldwide Markets but if BB or PRDP or Dilwale can break the record of PK then Salman or SRK can displace Aamir from the no. 1 position . It looks tough but it is not impossible because Box Office is really unpredictable .

  • I have sent a really interesting question i hope Indicine answers my question . I am waiting for my answer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Well said it’s just a matter of time Srk regains his supremacy in overseas with his upcoming movies which looks high in content.Raees and Fan will be a roaring success in overseas
    Ranbir will bounce back surely.He should take inspiration from our Bhaijaan whose movies used to take a lesser opening than Ranbir’s but by virtue of remakes and uttering some terrible punchlines he was able to bounce back

  • Ask legendary god aamir khan to do one farah khan film…. then we ll see how much stardom he have
    PK runs on Heerani

  • Ranbir kapoor is media-created star who is just a wasted spoon-fed kid.. He does not connect with the common man..

    More-over his cheap affair-rumour and link-up hype faking does not go down well with audience..

    That more looks like publicity stunt.. He does need to keep his image clean.. He is not a great actor.. His acting in all of his films sound the same weird flat expressions and poor slow dialogue delivery…

  • As for SRK vs Aamir,i think Srk released a very wrong film in China..Why would the chinese watch Indians conquering hearts through a dance competition??

    I think his Fan and Raees will do well overseas and definitely it will be a close competition in 2016 unlike 2014.
    Dangal should be a good film but I don’t think it will open as well like D3 and PK,so should be a tough competition.

  • Ya@indicine
    brother was non holiday release but bajrangi too.so both are take only 20 cr. Opning?
    Only nominal difference in buzzz to each other

  • @Gotya fan your sarookh got stardom only due to YRF and Dharma. Without YRF and dharma he was tusshar kapoor of 1990s. Aamir has given highest grosser of the year without yrf and dharma in 1990s not once but twice. That too with average directors like indra Kumar and dharmesh darshan. So shy your crap. Raju hirani need saamir to give highest grosser of the year. Wait for Sanjay duty biopic and see what raju hirani can do without aamir. While aamir’s dangal will not just break but smash his own pk’s record. Dhoom brand is bigger only because of megastar aamir’s presence. Without aamir dhoom 3 wouldn’t have been hit forget ATBB. Aamir & Srk.

  • Bajrangi bhaijaan
    if WOM positive=total collections 320
    WOM mixed=245
    Negative=190

    Prdp
    WOM positive=370
    mixed=220
    negative 180

    dilwale if clash not happens
    WOM positive=350
    Mixed=225
    negative=190

    dilwale if clash happens
    WOM positive =280
    Mixed=195
    Negative=160

  • The reason why amir earlier films not done business in overseas is because his production company was not gud like srk which always stick to big company like yrf and dharma as all know that it is the script which is the main reason for working of films in overseas and amir film too is always rich in content but never earned huge in overseas .

  • @ indicine, well replied to that jealous guy!
    No one can beat srk’s consistency, no one
    Can even think about it ….!!!!!
    That’s why every one is scared of his stardom ; once see without raju and dhoom 3 which aamir movie crossed 200 crore in worldwide forget domistic …!!!
    Yes we accept that srk my world has not
    Given highest grossing movie since 2007
    Upto 2014 ….!!!
    * In 2008 rbdj released on non holiday and
    Also clashed with ghajni still collected 86 crore in domistic …!!!
    * in 2009 srk had no release only camoe in
    Billu barbar ….!!!
    * in 2010 srk’s mnik released on non holiday earned 72 crore and 200 crore
    Worldwide ….!!! It waz not that commercial
    But performance- oriented one….!!!
    * in 2012 srk’s ra one waz rejected still made 242 crore worldwide ….!!!
    It also affected my all time loved ever green ” don 2 ”
    Christmas also fell on sunday that’s why
    It was very hard to become hgmoty…!!!
    * in 2012 jthj clashed with sos still collected 121 crore in domistic ….!!!
    * in 2013 chennai express clashed with outim 2 still collected 422 crore worldwide
    And broke all records in domistic and overseas ….!!!!
    I still remember that indicine predicted
    145 crore for ce without any clash
    While it collected 227 crore in domistic
    And 422 crore worldwide ….!!!
    * in 2014 hny was 3 hours long
    The director of tmk directed it …
    It was surrounded by extreme negativity
    Alll from others fans ….!!!
    Still we broke all opening records and weekends ….!!!
    * in 2015 we are going to create a new 400
    Crore club i promise all only on 23 th dec!
    * in 2016 srk will also role with raees ..!!!
    What else u need to be proved?

  • Let’s see indince’s presiction and mine!
    My prediction for brothers ….!!!
    1st day : 21 crore
    2nd day : 30 crore
    3rd day : 24 crore
    Lifetime : 115 crore to 160 crore

  • Every actor had gone through the bad phase. Between 2005 & 2009, Salman only had 4 hits, including one semihit. But now he is the biggest superstar. Similarly both the releases of SRK & Hrithik flopped in 1996 & 2010 respectively. Ajay Devgn starrer films in 2007 & Akshay Kumar starrer films in 2011 flopped. In 2000 Aamir starrer Mela also flopped.
    Still they bounced back. If they can bounce back,there is no reason why Ranbir cannot bounce back. I believe he will bounce back.

  • The biggest clash will happen on christmas
    2016 fan vs dangal ….!!!
    I wanted fan on Eid 2015 but it did not happen but this time best release date
    Should be christmas 2016 ….!!!
    No one hates aamir and sallu like me!

  • @indicine stop lying. Jo jeeta wohi sikandar. Aamir is ruling not just Indian box office but overseas BO too. Can you kindly explain me where srk’s so called consistency really stand without YRF, Dharma, Rohit shetty, Kajol, deepika, pritanka, Katrina, rani, aishvarya, world toor promotions, stage tours and NRI based craps????? Please kindly reply me. Aamir has achieved this unbeatable stardom without promotions, A Lister star cast, etc. Aamir is the only megastar who is popular in china and collections speak the volume much louder. And also srk’s so called consistency didnt help in china and resulted as disaster in china with only 1 Cr of his Halloween horror year even with more screens than pk. And now aamir’s pk is set to beat the combined WW record of kick and HNY. So that proves enough that aamir is numiro uno star worldwide. Much bigger than srk.

    • @Rew1, such comments are really funny. Dharma was nowhere before Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, SRK launched Deepika, Kajol and he started their careers together, Rani also made her debut in his film.. YRF is still struggling to deliver big hits without top stars. So all these actors and banners that you name, need SRK more than he needs them.

      And about Aamir not promoting his films, that’s not true at all. He is smart with promotions and doesn’t overdo it. He went all out to promote Ghajini, but a film like PK didn’t need aggressive marketing as the content would take care of it. SRK didn’t promote Chak De India either.

      Let’s learn to give credit where credit is due!

  • Amir will require more than 2 birth ti gain THE SUPERSTARDOM of KING KHAN.and how is it logically possible,let’s check this out:

    KING KHAN=30 HITS
    amir khan=11 hits

    so 11*2=22+8=30

    That means amir khan requires almost 3 birth to attain 3 birth to gain SUPERSTARDOM OF KING SRK whether in terms of bo collection or in terms ACTING(in which he is far way behind KING SRK).so I couldn’t understand why peoples are comparing amir with THE BAADSHAH OF BOLLYWOOD.

  • Very funny question to compare Amir Khan with King Khan.Every one knows king khan is person whom introduced Bollywood in overseas and gulf countries,ruling overseas for last 20 years.Only becoz of his films…. Bollywood is able to launch his films in abroad. DWDLJG is running in Marathi cinema for last 20 years.Most followers in India n oversease .Most social media fans in India.Most Filmfare awards in India specially best actor awards competing legendary Dalip Sab.Many more characteristics I could not describe here for understanding u ppl.
    Don’t wanna waste my time.How can u compare any Bollywood star with him specially Raju’s star amir khan whose films are working for last 5 years in India n overseas. U ppl are very jealous from king even u compare varun dhawan with king as u ppl some years ago hrithik,shahid kapoor,John etc compare with him.but every time u failed and fallen on dust.
    Dear b realistic b true.
    Shah Rukh Khan is heart of Bollywood. Plz get more knowledge of Bollywood. I hope u will not understand coz u can’t hear this coz u don’t wanna acknowledge it.Than You.
