Time for SRK, Akshay, Aamir, Hrithik and Ajay to strike!

Glorious run of ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’ is coming to an end and Ranbir Kapoor has missed entering the 200 crore club by a mere 10 odd crores. Now that’s still a feat, very huge one at that, as until now only Aamir Khan (3 Idiots) had scored a double century and Salman Khan (Ek Tha Tiger) had come precariously close to that.

While one waits to see who would score the next double century, it can be comfortably stated that top superstars indeed have a task in hand. Though Salman Khan won’t really be competing with others due to no release this year, there are huge expectations from Shahrukh Khan, Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, Hrithik Roshan and Aamir Khan to deliver before the end of year.

Chennai Express - OUATIMD - Satyagraha

Chennai Express – OUATIMD – Satyagraha

Shahrukh Khan (Chennai Express)

His last three films have been 100 crore grossers. However when it comes to ‘Baadshah Khan’, the challenge is to create records than match or meet the ones set by others. It has been a while since he had the topmost grossing film of the year against his name. While competition is going to be immense this year too, there is a lot riding on ‘Chennai Express’. The film appears safe but that is the least of what one expects from Shahrukh Khan. There has to be more, a lot more!

Akshay Kumar (Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobara)

It was a dream 2012 for Akshay with the only downer being ‘Joker’. For someone who plays in volumes, there have been a few 100 crore affairs and others in the 70-80 crores range in the recent past. However, ‘Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Again’ isn’t one of those many films in a year which means expectations are tremendous. His first hardcore commercial film of the year, there are special results expected from the film.

Ajay Devgn (Satyagraha)

Post ‘Himmatwala’, Ajay needs to have a biggie against his name. The good part though is that just like Akshay Kumar, even Ajay plays in volumes. While this means that he can afford to have a stray flop or two against his name in the middle of some average and excellent performing films, ‘Satyagraha’ is special since it brings him back with Prakash Jha in a role which is central to the affairs. With big names like Amitabh Bachchan and Kareena Kapoor in there, he has a commercial set up in place which is waiting to be exploited.

Krrish 3 - Dhoom 3

Krrish 3 – Dhoom 3

Hrithik Roshan (Krrish 3)

If there is one film which is expected to be next in line to break into the 200 crore club, it is ‘Krrish 3’. The film has everything going for it and with good enough awareness around it already, ‘Krrish 3’ could release in a month from now and still emerge a huge success. It’s release timing is just right too and with advantage of a long Diwali holiday season and Rakesh Roshan at the helm of affairs, Hrithik can well be assured of a biggie up his sleeves.

Aamir Khan (Dhoom 3)

Other than ‘Krrish 3’, it is ‘Dhoom 3’ which would definitely be eyeing the 200 crore club. For Aamir Khan, it would also be redemption of sorts since his much hyped ‘Talaash’ couldn’t quite cover the distance last year. Aamir, who was the first to score a century (Ghajini) and then a double century (Dhoom 3), could well be dreaming further higher up for ‘Dhoom 3’. While one waits to hear about those numbers, for now he and his fans & followers would be content with a 200 crore affair.

  • no one will believe thad among all satyagrah too has the great chance to cross 200cr mark…..hummmm i know k3 & D3 will comfortably cross 200crs. But what about ce… I wonder what indicine made to put ce’s name instead of madras cafe or shahid’s fpnh?…….
    @indicine u have time u cane rectify errors, i know ce gonna win this poll,but what about b.o.?

  • lets all laugh at OUATIMD and satyaghraha …nobody cares for this movies…..and ajay fans ajays is not a superstar…ranbir ke samne bhi woh haar jayega

  • only dhoom 3 will break 3idiots record. krissh 3 is a childrens movie it will collect 120 crore like raone.

  • are bhai koi bhi internet poll likes me srk fan are always top but in cinema hall they are the lowest last 3 film various poll has proved that…d3 and k3 only film cross 200 cr no other comes close to 130 cr….make my word…i am really dissapointed with optmd ..its trailer song dailoge are pathetic..only ajay debgan fits gunda role becuase his look is not for a hero…

  • I m an Shahrakh khan fan but I think( all movie) no way cross 200crore. It’s between 150-200 crore. CE,D3,K3 and ouatimd cross 100crore and satyagraha not cross 100crore…..

  • i dont want to comment her .because if i praise akshay or i abuse anyone ,who r abusing akshay.
    indicine wont post my comments.
    u all enjoy.who r underestimating akshay and ouatimd.only time will tell u.

  • just think it 1st, yjhd a non holiday release, not so huage buzz, get one open week, made with average content col 190cr, then if ce also made an average content, but eid release, huge screen, huge buzz but if failed to cross 180cr then it will be underperformed. We hope ce made with strong content like singham, then ce col min atleast 205cr, lifetime col depend on ouatimd, but ce col min 140 to 160cr 1st week no doubt, like ett beacause salman and sharukh are megastar others are superstar, ranbir is the futer megastar.

  • This is my opinion for these films to get 200 crore
    ce-3800 screen very good content 1st week 130 crore c ouatimd content bad
    ouatimd-3000 screen ce wom very bad madras cafe and satyagrah wom bad
    satyagrah-at any condition it will not cross 200 crore.may cross 100 crore
    k3-3500 screen good script 3open week
    d3-3700 screen very good script should release before dec 20 (bcoz thuppaki remake will realise on jan 10 so that it will have 20 open days and also will be affcted by cold in evening and night shows so 200 more screen than k3 )

  • Dhoom 3 will definitely cross the 200 cr mark. Krrish 3 maybe/maybe not.

    Aamir will have three 200 cr grossers, the other two being 3 Idiots and Peekay.

    Expecting srk to cross 200 cr at the fag end of his career is a cruel joke on the man. Especially when he looks too old to play his game (romantic movies). When the stakes are low (100-120 cr) then srk can be called badshah khan and what not but when the topic is of 200 cr then even taking his name in the same breath as Aamir shows how the writer is a diehard srk fan boy.

    Akki and Ajay can only dream of crossing 150 cr. 200 cr is beyond them.

  • All of you, you didn’t recognize srk, srk’s film will suffocate every chance, we didn’t fair krish3 and doom3 we are the winners 200 crores

  • Definately, d3 will be huge since its releasing on imax across the globe, and its tickets being high and all, no doubt about that one. Although, i’m curious to know how well ce and k3 are going to fair in the boxoffice.

    And glad to know that our ghanta actor has no releases this year. He’s clearly a shame to our country. Someone needs to put him behind the bars asap, before he plans to go snowden on us.

  • People bragging about EID,DIWALI AND CHRISTMAS…….its all Bullshit…..Content is what matters….CE may get a 120 Cr First Week but if the Content is pathetic(Which i think will be) then It will Wrap Below 150Cr……Else Fly Past 170 Cr….But 200 Cr is never Expected From An SRK Starer NowDays…..Hard but thats the Truth……..
    If OUATIM 2 has a poor Content….It will Finish Around 90-100Cr…..But heres wat is Intresting…..If Ouatim2 Gonna have a Solid Content The Figures Will Be As Follows…

    UPDATE on Shuddhi:the makers have already finalized Kareena Kapoor for the movie.

    Sources close to Aishwarya Rai deny that the actress was being approached for the film. On the contrary, Kareena Kapoor Khan, who was apparently the first choice for the role, is reportedly the lead actress opposite Hrithik Roshan in Shuddhi.

  • @ TS, i just joked on @ sachin11’s comment, which turned out to be fake.

    To be realistic, am very bad at predictions. I thought JTHJ with all the promotions and hype will easily cross 100 cr, and though it did, it took too long.

    IMHO srk fans are mostly people who like romantic movies, and with the struggle of jthj, i doubt about CE. If it does good collections, as you said, then well and good for srk, but i don’t see.

    D3 and K3 are big franchise, and no doubt these two will garner huge collections in the 1st weekend itself, and if content is good, then it should break some records, so collections wise, these two should top.

    Satyagraha, looks more likely targeted to a group so mass appeal would be less, and hence again dependent on how good the content is, but it doesn’t look likely to break 100 cr.

    OUATIMA is a big question for me, as on one had it is now a sequel to a successful movie, and the added star power of Akshay. If things work out, this movie could out-do CE and others, except D3 and or K3.

    Besharam, though not listed by Indicine, has an outside chance from all the above, but i remember Ranbir’s average Anjaana Anjaani too.

    It is such an unpredictable situation.

  • @hritiklover thanx for information.if k3 will relise more than 5200 screens then it will sure cross 200 crore.

  • there is no chance for ce to excellent wom.even if it gets good wom then also 110cr will be its final collection.jthj,raone and don2 had huze hype than ce.only raone had bad wom.but don2 and jthj had good wom.then also thay failed to collect 110cr.
    ouatimd will have no competition.160cr will be the final collection.if the content is like dirty picture or ouatim,then it will collect more than that.

  • @JC.. There was a reason why jthj failed to collect so much. Firstly it had only 2600 screens for it unlike ett or dabbang 2 which had 4000 approx. secondly, son of Sardar, being a hardcore masala film gave competition to jthj. Thirdly wom was not so good. Then, after 2 weeks talaash released which further reduced screen count and hampered the collections. I’m not saying ce will collect more than k3 or d3. But then, nobody can actually predict lifetime. It all depends on the content. If content is superb, then even a small film like bhaag milkha bhaag can do wonders at the bo. Buzz and star power can only predict the openings of films. So we ll know which film fares well only at the end of the year. But it’s fun to analyse.

  • Salman khan’s 3 movie that means Mental,KICK AND DHOOM 4, 100% sure will be cross 180+crore ,280+crore and 300+crore.BEST OF LUCK SALMAN KHAN

  • only krrish 3 and dhoom 3 have chances to cross 200 cr, mark my words, krrish 3 will create hostory at box office this year and will be the biggest film of indian cinema ! Hrithikmania coming soon.

  • Cinema owners usually charge a fee from the film’s producers for showcasing a film’s standees,infrastructures,back-lit displays and trailers but they have done an exception for Hrithik Roshan’s KRRISH 3. They would be doing it for FREE !!!

    Apparently, Roshan Sr has been receiving calls for the past couple of days from various multiplex chains, telling him they won’t charge him for attaching the Krrish 3 trailer as well as for displaying the promotional infrastructure of the film. A final decision was taken by multiplex owners yesterday.
    While PVR and Cinemax did not respond to our text messages and calls, Anand Vishal, Head of Operations at Fun Cinemas, said, “We are very happy to promote Krrish 3. The film is estimated to touch the Rs 200 crore mark at the box office. It’s a win-win situation for us.”

    THATS THE POWER OF HRITHIK AND KRRISH 3, THIS DIWALI, HISTORY WILL BE RE-WRITTEN !

  • GUys third song of ouatimd released and its just mindblowing.
    another dialogue of akshay from the movie.
    “Mujh dekh kr koi mann me nai hansta,munh par hans kar in loggon ko marna h kya”
