It’s probably the best time to release a film, especially a film like Rowdy Rathore. Here’s why..
- The IPL distraction is over and people have been waiting for a mass entertainer – the last big release was Housefull 2 about 2 months back.
- There is absolutely no competition – no major release last week, Department is out of theaters, Vicky Donor is nearing the end of it’s run and Ishaqzaade will be in it’s 4th weekend.
- Like it or not, masala action films is what the audience want to see – both at single-screens and multiplexes.
Too add to all the above factors; Rowdy Rathore has tremendous buzz around it, Akshay Kumar is on a high after the super-success of Housefull 2, the music is a hit and the trailers have worked big time.
So what can we expect from Rowdy Rathore at the all important box-office? Will it be a HIT or FLOP?
Well, we think the opening day collections should be around 14 – 15 crores (nett). The rest of the predictions are below.
IF GOOD (positive word-of-mouth)
- Weekend – 50 crores+
- Weekdays – 28 crores
- Week 1 Total – 78 crores
- Final – 130 crores
IF AVERAGE (mixed word-of-mouth)
- Weekend – 45 crores
- Weekdays – 23 crores
- Week 1 Total – 68 crores
- Final – 100 crores
IF BAD (worst case scenario)
- Weekend – 42 crores
- Weekdays – 15 crores
- Week 1 Total – 57 crores
- Final – Less than 70 crore
We asked our Twitter followers to predict the opening day and weekend collections. Here are some of their predictions.
- Amit Kumar Biswas – Opening day 17 to 17.5 crore and 52 to 53 crore weekend
- Saajid Patel – Opening day 16.5 crore+ and 45 crore+ weekend
- Bhargav Kumar – Opening day 16+ and Weekend 50+
- Pradeep – Opening day 17.6 crore, Weekend 52.32 crore
- Deepak – Opening day 13.75 crore, Weekend 43 crores
Considering the amount of money that has been recovered from Satellite and music rights, ‘Flop’ is almost ruled out. Worst case, Rowdy Rathore should be a HIT. If the content is strong, it could well be a Blockbuster. Also, Shanghai is scheduled to release a week later. So, if the word-of-mouth is poor, second weekend collections could be affected badly.

I Think Flop Movie
Asin all set to challenge Kareena Kapoor!
There was a time just last year when Kareena Kapoor was in an enviable position, with as many as four 100 crore plus ventures (3 IDIOTS, BODYGUARD, RA.ONE and GOLMAAL 3) in her kitty. In fact it appeared that no one would be able to touch her record, especially her close competitors like Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra.
However, Kareena is all set to be challenged by a relative newcomer for the Hindi cinema, Asin. The top star from South already has three hundred crore plus (READY, GHAJINI and HOUSEFULL 2) films in her kitty, and is now almost certain to hit another century this July.
We are obviously referring to Asin’s upcoming July 6 release, Rohit Shetty’s BOL BACHCHAN, the first trailer of which confirms that the film is a winner and that the director has once again packed the film with all essential condiments- masala, entertainment and also emotions!
On the other hand Kareena has had a very ordinary year with AGENT VINOD not living up its potential and EK MAIN AUR EKK TU, failing to cross even 40 crores from India, despite being a YRF venture.
Well, Kareena need not worry as she too has Madhur Bhandarkar’s HEROINE and Aamir Khan’s TALAASH coming up later this year.
While HEROINE, does not appear to be a 100 crore plus grosser (though it will get a lot of acclaim), with Aamir Khan anything is possible.
Hope it break bodyguard record domestically and ra one record internationally;)
