Rowdy Rathore vs Boss: First Week Comparison

Here’s a comparison between the biggest hit of Akshay Kumar’s career and his latest release Boss which has under-performed at the box office. While Rowdy Rathore took off after a fantastic opening and collected more than 46 crore in its first 3 day weekend, Boss couldn’t collect as much in its entire first week.

Rowdy Rathore released just after the Indian Premiere League, which has been the second most lucrative period for Hindi films after Eid. Boss released during the pre-Diwali period, at a time when the Indian audience has rejected quite a few poorly made south Indian remakes. While everything from reviews to audience response has been good pretty good for Boss, the film won’t collect much more than rejected films like Himmatwala and Besharam.

Rowdy Rathore though, was the most universally liked film of 2012.

  • Last year there were 9 films entering the 100cr club,every film of top 6 actors scored very well(except Joker,which was pre-anticipated)..
    This year though,till now only 5 films have made it to this elite club of which 2 films BMB and Grand Masti were’nt thought of reaching there.

  • What is most disheartening to know is that BOSS won’t be able to cross even Khiladi 786 collections(72crs),which was one of the worst movies of last year,and BOSS is a way way better film than K786…

  • Also I think those bunch of movies coming in end of november won’t be able to satisfactory business due to stiff competition..
    Singh Saab the great,gori tere pyar mein,bullet raja,R…Rajkumar have to face very tough competition from Krrish 3,Ramleela and Dhoom 3.
    So Despite some interesting films lined up there,i don’t find any other film except Krrish 3,Dhoom 3 and Ramleela(if it clicks) to get to 100cr club this year.

  • But you have to admit that BOSS was’nt as good as RR.
    The killer dialogues were not quite there and also it was not able to spark out emotions like it was in RR.
    Also absence of female lead hurt them big time here..

  • Salman’s golden period is gone.
    He has again started misbehaving with journalists on Jai Ho sets.
    SRK going up,Sallu going down,Aamir as consistent as always.

  • Akshay kumar is flop actor.

    Shahrukh is flop to as his Ra.one just did 120crs, Don 2 106cr and JTHJ 120crs. Chennai express couldn’t not beat 3 idiots inflation adjusted net of 300crs.

    Salman is masala remake.

    Aamir is blockbuster khan
    3 idiots ran solely on star power with an average movie no action made 395crs worldwide which srk or salman movie did this eyy?

    Ghajini did 150crs in india in 2008. That is superstardown. Even talaash earned 175crs in India which srgay and salman will never beat.

    Ek tha tiger 171crs and CE 169crs will remain their biggest hits. Dhoom 3 400cr in India and 500cr overseas mark my words srgay fans.

  • Biggest hits of 2013
    1. Dhoom 3 – 300cr
    2. Krrish 3 – 180cr
    3. Chennai Express – 169cr (according to Satyam)
    4. Yjhd – 165crs

    Chennai express 228cr figure is fake he manipulated them, it netted 169crs in india and 40crs in overseas everyone knows that. 3 idiots record is yet to be broken.

    Dhoom 3 will beat 3 idiots onle to superstar aymir king khan star power expect a 50cr opening.

  • @ a – Aamir is huge star. No one can deny that. But just for the sake of keeping a point don’t make ridiculous statement like 3 Idiot was an average movie. For glorifying stardom of Aamir you are undermining the brilliance of one of one of the most amazing movie to come out of Bollywood? Please don’t do that because its seriously lame.

  • @a Taalash did 175 cr in india??? Get ur facts ryt . . Its nt’ in 100 cr club
    ce 169 cr in india nd’ jst 40 cr in overseas ?? R u mad ??its 2nd film 2 crs 200 cr in india. . Nd’ 3rd 100 cr in overseas
    aamir is gudd’ actor bt’ y r u degrading srk. .
    Whn his movies work. . He manupulated it. . Whn his concert sucess. . He gave money 2 ppl 2 come. . Whn’ he gets award. . He bought it. . Whn’ r u guyz gnna stop. .
    Nd’ we can also say. . Gajini nd’ 3idiots jst collected 31 cr. . Aamir manupulated it. . Will u belive ?

  • @A R U mad look at your no figures totally fake. Come on guys masala movies R over now. Chennai has changed dynamics of masala movies.even Salman is doing rajshri movie so it just says n tells the story. Its a genre over explored. Superhero projects R coming up now n alot of future projects will be on that genre n romantic movies are finding their way back in.

  • Fikar-not Akkians
