Welcome Back has recorded the 3rd highest opening day of 2015, beating films like ABCD 2 and Gabbar Is Back. The film starring John Abraham in the lead, opened well because the first film in the series was hugely popular and had tremendous recall value even though the last film released in 2007.
Only two films – Salman Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Akshay Kumar’s Brothers – both of which released on significantly higher number of screens, were ahead on Day 1 at the domestic box office.

First day never ever matter for any film. Any film can bring good first day and first weekend with huge promotion and hits songs funda like SRK does with every film.
For example HNY did 40cr on day one and 100cr on weekend with huge promotion and more songs on Diwali and weekend. But after first weekend HNY got down at that level the film should earned. And same are happening/ will be happening with PHANTOM and WELCOME BACK.
Films Lifetime collections always matter, after that nothing matters.
And upcoming films lifetime will be
PRDP – 400cr
Dilwale – 225cr
Bajirao – 155cr
Indicine post bb os collection 29 m which is highest ever ..in first phase..!!
For goodness which type of pagaalpan is this. Am sorry am registered with indicine 3 days back to involve in contribution not fan war. I don’t understand how nawaz and harshali is being comparable to Anil and Nana? Am from Bangladesh but I was born to watch Bollywood movies. That comparism is unfair. I don’t think it was akshay kumar fault for outimd. He is a brilliant actor I know ,I am a fan of his old action movies after suniel shetty. About ouatimd let’s be logical guys I believe just like here in bangladesh ajay devagan was born to act. Anybody that watched outim his first thought will take him back to Deewar 1976 though no similarities in both movies but acting with ease is another gifted talent. Even before the release of outimd I knew from the trailer that it won’t come anywhere close to outim. Certain roles are meant for certain stars. Imo the best shot was for ajay cto do outimd if not him then certainly an Aamir a Shah rukh a Salman or probably a Nagarjuna or south Indian equivalent of the khans or ajay. For welcome back I just saw it. It’s a Anil and Nana movie but without John the icing on the cake wouldn’t be there. Thank you fans.
@sunny you mean sequel always has an edge? 2 free weeks for outimd. Clash! Ce released a weak earlier though. Outimd had 2 good free weeks to cross 100 crores. Your recent article when the whole world were praising drishyam pace and steadyness you said drishyam had 1 week free run no? Did you see how many movies were surrounded by drisham? It and Bb have the best steady run for 2015. So when gadar and lagaan release same day unlike oitimd after a week what happened? 2 Atbb. Sos clashed with mega jthj movie same day. Both sailed to 100 crores with SOS beating jthj 2nd week. That was what outimd was to do to ce beating it 3rd week since it wasn’t a same day clash it was after 1 week. All your comments are just like a 6 year old child. So much jealousy and negativity to stars you never want to see them progress. Why not be happy that wb is performing well and you don’t have to talk it is we the fans that will now say okay Akshay played some roles. Lekin john is not bigger than akshY but tendency is there. The khans devgans hritiks has left akshay very far behind. So stop all these filthy nonsensical frustration.
Akshay in wb so the opening is around 12cr now john is biggest star than akshay Kumar it’s true
@indicine: You post salman fans’ same comments 2 times while you post my comments..Looks like you want akki to get bashed here..Good!
@NVS : Keep piling your nonsense shit,no one cares…Truth is that One Thullu is sufficient for your whole bhaitard army,My one comment sends quivers across your fan base.. And your whole essay goes unnoticed!! Samjha beta..rote reh ab !
Salman fan worry about Marigold film it has collected less than 1 crore shame , salman should hang on tree . Even Imran Khan jaane tu ya Jane ja has collected more than Marigold .
We akkians want this film become more success than Welcome . If this welcome back will blockbuster I will leave this indicine .
@ Babaji forget this salman fans are because of father , Akshay sir has get criticism from all people but he stands alone infront of storm i know he will bounce back again .
People saying akshay Kumar Wud have guaranteed 25 core opening??? Are these lot mad when did akshay last open to 20 core??? Let alone 25 !!! Akshay was a minor in the first one
@Buddha thullu carrier, ha ha ha ha ha. Kabhi army ka nam bhi suns hai kya? Everyone knows you spineless chameleon. You are enough for the whole army? My Gosh. Cant get more funnier than this :-]U_U:-o
@7:54pm Darth kSHITij
You evil Sith Lord- everybody knows your one pathetic comment with your thullu gets whacked straight outta compton sorry the park so you have to come back using multiple lungis ooops IDs to carry on waging your underhanded treacherous war…! This misconceived notion of yours about the one man ullu ka patta army being strong is partially true. You were the One thullu carrier for Saruman n later on for Rasputin and you subsequently viciously betrayed both without any remorse. This now leads me to suspect it was you who betrayed the Dark Lord Darth Vader to become the new leader of the jaadoopurians sorry Dark Side…!
@rajesh kaminey 8:10pm
Bhai has moved on from the debacle of Marigold but sadly our Joker Boy n his bhojpori bikhari/ peasant fans are still living in 2007/08 demanding all modern day 60cr crapfests of Joker Boy be declared Blockbusters…! Hell even Kat has moved onto bigger n better things like 100cr n 200cr clubs so when will Joker Boy move forward to rule the 80cr club…?
Singh is Bandar is releasing n mark my words that flop will open less than WB…!
Ullu ka patte ka head chief Darth kSHITij is still believing his old worn out thullu is still effective this millennium as it was last millennium when the thullu was backstabbing everybody viciously…! Times have moved on buddah- nowadays your lungi is more dangerous- threaten to lift it n mass evacuation of the nearby region will take place in record time…! :-P
The only ppl dumb enough to bow down to the thullu carrier Darth kSHITij are juvenile Jaadupurians. These kindergarteners believe the thullu carries the dark secrets of Rakesh Roshan like how 177cr mutated sorry manipulated to 244cr or whatever happened to Jadoo sorry aNIPUNma Skywalker…! They fear the dark lungi sorry thullu so begrudgingly respect the mad evil buddah ki lungi sorry thullu…!
@Navin 9:02 am well our joker boy has already been promoted to 80 Cr club. Though he still remains the undisputed ruler of 60 Cr club, but this year with Baby thullu, Greedy Gobar and Bhojpuri warrior crossing 80 Cr now its safe to say that joker boy is now promoted to 80 Cr club. Who knows singh is gobar may surprise and give one more 60 Cr hit which our joker boy is famous for :P:) :-)
