Only two films have managed what we could call an ‘excellent’ opening at the box office and only three have either matched or exceeded expectations. Unsurprisingly, one featured a top superstar like Shah Rukh Khan, the second was a Hollywood action-franchise film. The other was ‘Badrinath Ki Dulhania’ which had dependable stars like Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt.
The opening of ‘Jolly LLB 2’ falls in the acceptable / average range, because the film was expected to take a much better start than what it actually managed to collect on Day 1.
Hrithik Roshan’s Kaabil was completely obliterated by Shah Rukh Khan’s Raees, which is a concern for Hrithik because his films post Bang Bang haven’t even got a decent initial. The promos failed to generate interest, but a double digit total is the least that’s expected out of one of the top superstars – clash or not. Especially from a big-budget film like Mohenjo Daro, if not the smaller film Kaabil.
The next two films that’ll get a big initial are also no-brainers. Baahubali 2: The Conclusion is expected to take the box office by storm, before the megastar himself arrives to make the rest look like mere mortals.
The film that could surprise in between, as far as the initial is concerned, is Half Girlfriend. The poster of Raabta too has got a good response, but the important trailer will be out on Monday.

Bhai ab tum indicine wale kitna hi try krlo…..raees vs kabil ke tym pe jo tumne harkat ki…usse u hav lost ur credibility
@aisha,they had been saying this “MEGASTAR” word for sallu from long ago.Still I remained silent.but what does that “one line” meant for?Let their sallu to come on a calsh on republic day and give at least 20cr+ opening which he hardly did 17cr with out clash.still they’re forgetting their limit.if you can’t praise a star at least don’t degrade HIM.And before some months they blocked each of my even non hatred comment,what does that mean?Because they were too much upset about me what I did against their so called megastar.
@Rubal,this site is not the same that I was knowing for so many years.which WE all knew.but actually I stopped writing comments after it’s admin blocked my even non hatred comments before some months ago.
If they give the same freedom to lallu fans like @tiger then I’ll show them how I can kick this lallutards and the site itself.
Check @tiger wrote “louda”,it got published,I wrote the same or similar to such word,but it deleted.even the 1st comment too they cut so many words.
And so why I’ll write comments on a Such a small shitty baised comment zone & will waste my time? So I don’t care.let them happy with their favourite stars & users.I could have given like an old user but I couldn’t do it anymore by compromising each time.They don’t have the balls to show my comment.
@sunny:don’t forget dude,rustom did 19.95 CR’s(which is almost 20 CR’s)in just 2200 screens with a clash with mj on national holiday,15th august which fell on its 4 th day after release.
@ toiletholic acc to you dubbed collections (4cr) should be included in Mars Collection ??How old r u?
@mekanik
Ole le le…. Mekanik ko rona aa raha hai kya? I’m so sad!!!!
Btw, what’s wrong I’ve said??? Does your gangu teli really have any box office record in India???
@jaz
Navin and Ultron aren’t active here from many days. But, since Akki got the NA this sunny alkohoic has started blabbering on Bhai…. Although no Bhai fan is posting anything against Akki.
@abhishek kr
Are you moron or what??? I clearly mentioned only major BO records like ATBB, Blockbusters, Hits, HGOTD, HGOTY, ATHG etc…. No opening, 1st weekend, 1st week or lifetime or even 100cr/200cr/300cr movies records….!
Yes, srk is the first to go past 35cr mark on opening day. But Salman is the 1st to cross 15cr, 20cr, 25cr, 30cr mark on opening day. Did I mention these records of Salman???
Who cares.
@tiger-the real beggar,My will is against of me now to comment on this site.still you know better SSS never cries,SSS always made other cries.and who know this better than you and other bhojpuritards.
And last things about India,and only in India,2009 born remake star was struggling to deliver a RCEORD grosser since his last supporting role movie hahk.still he is a megastar or a louda?
Should be about overall earning .opening doesn’t make a film hit or flop.. and how long someone can survive with opening day .. eventually a good movie is going to work .. Dangal Bajranghi Bhaijaan.sultan pk 3 idiots tanu weds Manu queen bahubali these r name of few .. besharam had good opening day so had fan raees befikre .. so it’s complete movie which will work ..
@tiger the real king chutiye salman ka 29 clean hit kab hua ?..clean hit me srk ka 25 or salman ka bhi 25 hai or akhay 24 …Srk 57 movies me 25 Hits 14 average or bas 19 flops ..39 successful movie ..Salman 72 movie me 25 Hits 12 average or 35 flops hai or akhshay ka 107 movie me 24 Hits 19 average or 54 flops …
Srk sbse zyada hit Dia sbse highest hit ratio hai highest successful movie ka ratio hai srk ka or overseas me srk 24 blockbuster dia hai salman 4 or akshay 1 …or overseas me bas 13 all time blockbuster hai jisme se 9 srk ka hai …overseas ka baap srk …Srk 1990- 1999 me 1st pe tha 2nd Sunny Deol ..2000- 2010 me srk 1st pe tha 2nd hritik or 2011- 2016 me salman 1st pe hai or srk 2 nd pe …Or sb cheez Sahi hai Jo hum likhe
@afzar
Abey jhandu, see here the 29 hits of Salman… http://www.indicine.com/boxoffice/india/salman-khan/
And also see your yrf-dharma boy’s only 27 hits http://www.indicine.com/boxoffice/india/shahrukh-khan/
@mekanik
“2009 born star”……. Abey jhandu mekanik, kuch bhi bakwas karega??? Let’s compare Salman vs bakri till 2009…….
ATHG :
Salman – 1
Srk – 0
HGOTD :
Salman – 2
Srk – 0
BHOTD :
Salman – 2
Srk – 0
HGOTY :
Salman – 6 (acc to Indicine)
Srk – only 5
ATBB :
Salman – 3
Srk – only 2.
Even before 2008 Salman was light years ahead of srk… So, mr. Mekanik come up with something new.
