Shaandaar is turning out to be one of the biggest disappointments of 2015 and the second big failure for both Dharma Productions and Phantom Films this year – after Brothers and Bombay Velvet.
The trend over the weekend is shockingly poor as Shaandaar took a decent start on Day 1 (Thursday), showed a huge drop in business on Friday. But since the film was targeted at the multiplex audience, there was hope that Shahid Kapoor – Alia Bhatt starrer would pick up on Saturday and Sunday.
Unfortunately, the film has shown further drops in business on both days. The occupancy on Saturday night at high-end multiplexes was poor throughout the country. Sunday had the added disadvantage of the day and night match between India and South Africa, which also happened to be the series decider. However, even without the cricket match, the film wouldn’t have collected much more than it did.
Shahid’s last film ‘Haider’ collected Rs 26.79 crore in 4 days at the box office. The collections of ‘Shaandaar’ are better, but Haider was a niche genre and was competing against a massive film like Bang Bang. R.. Rajkumar collected Rs 35.8 crore in 4 days, with a normal release and just one holiday (Sunday).
After back-to-back successful like Student Of The Year, Highway, 2 States and Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, Alia Bhatt’s dream run comes to an end.
Shaandaar now runs the risk of finishing below the Rs 50 crore mark at the box office. The occupancy on Monday was poor, a drop of around 75-80% from Thursday.
Shaandaar Box Office Collections
- Thursday (Day 1) – 13.1 crore
- Friday (Day 2) – 7.55 crore
- Saturday (Day 3) – 6.75 crore
- Sunday (Day 4) – 6.1 crore
- Total 4-day weekend - 33.5 crore

@indicine post something about raaz4the reboot
Well said @Rangil !!!!!!! You are absolutely right about bias !!!!!!!!!
Shandaar would have crashed from monday being a bad film but the amount alot of fan base did on twitter intentionally even before watching the movie sealed the fate of the movie from day 2 itself and the negativity was huge and comparable to bombay velvet it’s really sad to see this that people r being happy in somebody’s failure and they r celebrating it by doing such things but if one person to be blamed then it is no Shahid,Alia,Dharma or Fox it is vikash to be blamed i mean who will not sign a movie of the director who delivered queen last year everyone trusted him aand he let everyone down
Stupid alia deserves this
shahid kapoor is one of the best actor in bolly wood bt is luck?any way film is excelant full time pass nd paisa wasool alia is looking good bt shahid is loking 2 good in this movie
Sad for Shahid but it’s Alia’s second failure after highway coz highway was not a success. It was average or above average @Indicine
Baghban 2 will challenge shaandaar aswell as Bombay Disaster
akshay and emran are the best
@sunny floppy, dont worry about ajay devgan because he is much bigger star than your floppy Kumar. Yes you can say that shahid is definitely much more popular than your floppy Kumar. Your floppy Kumar’s joker is gobar collected only 80 Cr despite huge manipulations and despite Gandhi jayanti release and his multistarrer bhojpuri bhais also collected same despite independence day release, dharma banner and Sid. ??? Shame on joker floppakki Kumar.
Shahid fans, please accept Shaandaar was a bad film n Shahid’s stardom isn’t that much that he can save a bad film.
I see comments like “it flopped because of extremely negative comments on social networking sites like Facebook n Twitter”.
Well, to remind u all even Bang Bang’s word of mouth was negative n ppl blasted the film on social networking sites.
Still, u can see that it managed to be a success both in India n Overseas.
Also, I see comments like ” Shaandaar is ahead of its time, ppl will realise it’s worth after 5-6 years.”
Plz accept the above facts.
