Over the last 4 months or so, we have been working hard on upgrading the user interface of Indicine. The goal was to make the design simpler, faster and compatible with every device (Mobile phones, iPad/Tablet, Laptops and Desktop PC’s) , while also adding more features and making different sections easier to access.
The most requested feature was to make the website more colourful (images, videos etc), but the major downside to including a lot of images is that the site gets slower, especially for those who browse Indicine using a 2G internet connection. We were also keen on ensuring that we do not waste bandwidth (data) of our readers, so a lot of time has been spent on optimising the website including all the images.
With the new design, we have tried to strike that perfect balance and we are pretty pleased with the new design. The main page has more images, loads quickly and doesn’t consume too much data.
Also, the main page has tons of new features. The left section of the page has latest article updates, while the right section has links to almost every possible box office data that we currently have in our database. In the next couple of days, a few pages of overseas collections from various countries will be added too.
Some quick links to new features
- Top 10 Songs of almost all actors, actresses and a few singers
- Most read articles on Indicine (a collection of our best articles over the years)
- Movie Release Dates
Domestic Collection Pages (All these pages will be regularly updated)
- Highest Single Day
- Highest First Day Collections
- Highest First Weekend Collections
- Highest First Week Collections
- Highest Grossers in Bollywood
2015 Box Office Collections (The feature that we like the most!)

- First Week 2015 (Day-wise collections of first week)
- Second Weekend 2015
- Second Week 2015
Various Box Office Clubs (Again, these are permanent links. Pages will be updated as soon as a movie crosses 100)
And finally, a feature that we have worked the hardest on. Collections of all movies of all actors and the combined collections of all their films along with average per film and success ratio) You will find these links at the bottom of every page!

Any feedback or suggestions are always welcome. A few minor changes to the comments section too. You can now use the reply button to directly reply to a comment. There are new icons for ‘thumbs up’ and ‘thumbs down’ – do tell us if you like these set of buttons or should we revert back to the previous icons?
And finally, we hope you like the new improvements to Indicine. It might take a few days of ‘getting used to’ the new design, but over time, we hope most of you like the new changes.
Thank you for your support!
P.S: We thought we’d add a few pictures of how the website looked in 2006 (Version 1), 2008 (Ver 2) and 2010 – 2014 (Ver 3).

Cheers the Indicine team and all the cine lovers who visit here.
Thanks Sky. Appreciate the feedback. There could be a couple of mistakes here and there when it comes to verdicts of movies. We are constantly working on it, should be perfect in 2-3 weeks.
Well, to open the different pages of comment system, we have the option only at the bottom of Comment section to click on Page no.s(1,2,3 and so on). In the previous version, we had this option both at the top and bottom of the comment system, which was helping us to open the different pages from the top of the comment section too. Now we will have to come down to the bottom of comment sections to click on the no.s of pages and it feels a bit lengthy, time-taking and irritating. Please induce those options at the top of comment section too!
I can see a light pink colour! It’s looking better. But I hope the colour gets brighter:)
Incredible :) i saw this when i browsed this site yesterday from my mobile and it was surprising. loved it. changes are always good :) appreciate… way to go (y)
@Indicine : i would like to know if somebody replies on a comment/reply, whether we would get a notification in mail that a person has replied or something like that? it will be more interactive.
Hatts off indicine for this new version. and congratulations to the indicine team. it’s great.
