Released against another biggie, Bang Bang gets the highest opening ever

For a film released against another biggie, Bang Bang has recorded the highest collections ever on its opening day. For the second highest collections during a ‘clash’, we have to go back a couple of years ago when Jab Tak Hai Jaan and Son Of Sardaar released on the same day at the box office.

Jab Tak Hai Jaan was released on 2500 screens in India, while Bang Bang has released on 3300-3400 screens (Hindi only). The Yash Chopra film released on Diwali day in November 2012 and collected Rs 15.23 crore.

Bang Bang has collected Rs 27.54 crore on its opening day at the domestic box office. The film released alongside Shahid Kapoor’s Haider.

  • Shahid fans are laughing no difference between ajay and shahid
    Jthj is a romantic
    Bb is masala or action movie

  • @Indicine, I believe I have won. My prediction was 27 Crores. But I don’t know what your procedure is.

  • I am depressed! Expected more than 30 crores. It’s all because of critics. . .all sites/critics watch haider in preview and bang bang reviews came so late. .i think unnecessary comparision wid haider’s content reduced its positiveness. Hrithik’s act has been appriciated by each n every critics.

  • just one word for Patang Fans .. “Hum Sab Mein Krrish Hai”
    Jadooo Jaaadooo .. Jadoooo .. Aaa Ooouunnnn ?????

  • hahahaha! Aab Big Boss me janese kya hoga! Jab jana tha tab to nahi gaya… Lol
    ? WOW! Finally, Hrithik Roshan on Bigg Boss ! Oct 02, 2014 Earlier it was reported that the Bang Bang team won’t be promoting their film on any of the reality shows on TV. However, as per the latest update the lead actor of the film Hrithik Roshan has bend the rules for buddy and the host of Bigg Boss, Salman Khan. At a recently held Bang Bang’s promotional event Roshan revealed that he will soon be visiting Bigg Boss sets for the film’s promotion. “I have been invited by Salman on his show. And I will be going there tomorrow (October 2) for the shoot,” confirmed Hrithik at the do. We wonder if Katrina Kaif would be accompanying the actor to Bigg Boss. If that’s the case then it will be a sweet reunion of sorts between Kaif and her ex-beau Salman Khan on screen.

  • Boney Kapoor’s Wanted starring Salman Khan and Ayesha Takia clashed with YRF’s Dil Bole Hadippa starring Shahid Kapoor and Rani Mukherji during Eid 2009. Both Shahid and Rani were on top of their games at the time and Salman was facing the lowest phase of his career after 1992-1993.
    With Wanted, Salman made Eid Releases big like other festive releases like Diwali and Christmas. Nobody has cared about Eid release before that..

  • everyone knows jthj was crap movie. that time SOS beat jthj. bcoz both these movies shares come around 55 cr which is same.
    @indicine bang bang is releasing with 3600 screen which look like solo release.
    I don’t think so clash affect bang bang collection.

  • Till yesterday Haider was a mediocre film for you now suddenly it has become a biggie?
    In case of jthj and sos both had big budget
    In bang bang vs haider
    It is a mammoth budget vs low to medium budget then how haider is a biggie?

  • Bang Bang-Great teaser,good trailer,nice song promos with excellent dance steps.
    All these things increased hype to sky high.

    After all this yesterday entered in theater with too much excitement & huge expectations.

    But came back with big disspointment.

    Incase of action & stunts its slightly better than D3 & Kick.
    But incase of story,screenplay & as a whole movie it is way behind D3 & Kick.

    The movie is so boring & its hard to stay with it for 135min for just watching stunts.

    Makers of film are lucky as they got best release period with 4 holidays in a row & generated hype is enough to pull audience in theaters in these 4 days.
    But once holidays over it will fall badly.
    160-170crs will be lifetime & that too if it collect 90-100crs in these 4 days.

  • @indicine, u counting 3200-3300 screens (hindi only), bt u giving total collection of Bang Bang from 4300 screens (hindi+tamil+telegu)… WTF!!!
    U should give hindi only collection, not combined

  • What nonsense.. comparing BB with JTHJ? jthj was first romantic not action movie like Bang bang and it had clash with a big masala movie like SOS.. and BB has clash with small movie… JTHJ Diwali Puja Day + [less screen] vs BB – National holiday [much more screens]… LOL how can you compare these two movies? yeah for publicity everyone is using SRK’s name So guys did the same…!

    Publicity k liye na Hrithik aur Na Shahid Kafi Rahe iss liye SRK ko beeche mein laya…

    – Only 2 things sell in bollywood, SRK and Sex.. once again proved..

  • @Nipun, I am feeling pleased to crying hard baby. Please cry on. We are loving it.
    By the way, people watch films because of their trailers and stars or the reviews??? Critics including you give shitty reviews to Salman Khan films. Yet, it earns what it should!
    During the times of Jai Ho, all media and presses were against Salman Khan for concert in Muzzafarnagar and his meeting with Modi…You were clapping…Believe in karma dude!
    Before the release of Kick, photographers have started boycotting Salman Khan…

    @WTF, same feeling here. He should have visited before the release or asked Salman Khan to promote it like Aamir Khan last year. But he didn’t.
    Anyway, it will be great to see both of them together on stage. It will be great to see Salman doing some Hrithik’s steps as Salman always likes to take make fun of hrithik dance steps in funny sense.
    Sorry! I don’t want to see Katrina there. I don’t think she will visit either!

  • All is the result of poor promtn by Fox they wanted to imitate YRF
    But YRF were cool and confident before D3 release unlike fox who released 1 full trailer and full song before the release..and they shud have prmted it on every platform
    People had already watchd knight n day so there keeping bang bang a secret lyk Dhoom 3 didnt work
    As D3 was completely new so dat curiosity worked
    But bang bang needed door to door promtions bcoz the original film watchd by many and people need to know about the new Indian version

  • Bang bang 27 iam happy hrithik roshan is best
    krrish3
    dhoom3
    agneepath
    zindagi n m dobara
    koi m gaya
    kaho na p hai
    and now bang bang

  • This is what happens when you make fake buzz there was no buzz of bang bang… Besharam collected 21 cr in 3200 screens with bad wom… Bang bang collected 27 cr in 3400 screens with mixed wom… Ranbir stardom = hritik??

  • How Haider is a biggie???? plz explain… Haider got only 1100 screens & mutiplex show ratio is only 30:70 against Bang bang

  • Romance take: There’s no thrill in Bang Bang, a desi adaptation of the Hollywood action thriller Knight & Day, but only bullets, bombs and gadgets. Five minutes into the film, Sujoy Ghosh and Suresh Nair’s so-called screenplay is cracked. The remaining two hours and 30 minutes are spent on a ridiculous, unending story which starts off with a terrorist, Omar Zafar (Danny Denzongpa), who wants the Kohinoor so that an extradition treaty between UK and India isn’t signed. Enter, in slo-mo no less, Rajveer (Hrithik Roshan), who flicks the coveted diamond around and then goes on a world tour with it. Tagging along with him as excess baggage is a puffy-faced bank receptionist, Harleen ( Katrina Kaif).
    Rajveer is exciting, in Harleen’s words; while Harleen is boring because she doesn’t live in the present, hasn’t stepped out of Shimla and scouts for boys on a dating site called trueluvv.com. You know there’s something totally wrong when Kaif is cast as a twenty-something girl who has to find love on the internet. She is dragged into his action-packed mission and even though she is irritated about it we all know that she is secretly pleased given her desire to travel and how she is caught ogling at Rajveer’s bare, tanned, vein-popping torso. One of the very few accomplishments of the film is when Harleen questions Rajveer as to why haven’t they slept together yet. Looking for logic and consistency in Bang Bang is a losing battle. The editing is all over the place, as the directionless Anand shuttles from London to Delhi to Shimla randomly. One moment, Rajveer and Harleen are eating pan crust pizzas at what we think is the most isolated Pizza Hut in the world — located in snow-capped mountains in the middle of nowhere — and minutes later they jump off a cliff and embark on road, air and sea travel, during which Rajveer manages to shop for clothes for Harleen, groceries and cool underwater gadgets, and land on an island, where they are castaways enjoying coconut water and kebabs. The duo swim from one island to another, hop onto a train and are in bed, separate ones mind you, in Prague. Travel agencies and travel enthusiast would be envious with the ease with which they commute.
    That’s not it. Roshan’s curls and hair colour change at the blink of an eye. Ostentatious amount of money is spent on shooting songs on garish sets and filled with outrageously dressed extras or in innumerable foreign locales with Kaif’s bank receptionist strutting about like a supermodel. You know the film is nearing the finishing line when Roshan has performed stunts on land, under water and on it and up in the air. But by now, so tired is one with the series of nonsensical events that even when Ghosh and Nair name a house, again located in the middle of nowhere, ‘Ghar’, one isn’t amused. Roshan fits the part of an action hero but the incessant stunts, which took a toll on his health, also begin to tire the audiences. Kaif and him make for an attractive pair who occasionally banter and otherwise dodge bullets and participate in fantastical song-and-dance routines.
    Bang Bang knows how to make a lot of noise, but it’s the kind where you want to shut your ears and escape. Make sure it isn’t Prague or London. At one point, Kaif’s Harleen compares how her life has turned into an action film ever since she met Rajveer. There are vital adjectives missing there. It’s a bad and boring one. I will give bang bang 1/2* n it will become Sureshoot flop, it will not recover its invesment n not surprise if bang bang failed to cross 100cr

    • @Romance, you haven’t ever spelt ‘Hrithik’ correctly or gotten one sentence grammatically right in all these years. And you wrote all that? Stop copy pasting tweets and articles claiming them to be ‘your take’.

  • Bang Bang failed to meet my expectations. Now 300 cr is not possible? Looking forward for Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
