Will Salman Khan’s Wanted work at the box office?

Those who watched the Wanted : Dead and Alive trailer with Love Aaj Kal last week, would be aware of the hype the movie has managed to generate. The noise was deafening throughout the short theatrical trailer of the film.

The trade expects the film to open big, given its mass appeal and the fact that the film stars Salman Khan in an action role after a long time should be enough to guarantee a huge initial. The rest would, quite obviously, depend on content.

Here’s our box office prediction for Wanted : Dead and Alive

  • Opening weekend – 24 crores.. which should ensure a HIT (minimum) and the biggest opening weekend for Salman Khan.
  • 1st week – If content is strong, should be close to 40 crores. Else should be in the range 33 – 35 crores net.
  • If accepted, the film has strong chances of being Salman Khan’s biggest grosser in quite a while. Much needed for the actor!

  • U said SRK never said anything like tht!!But look at his recent interview on THe preview of my name is khan.He had he want Oscar award and he is only one who can act better than any other !!this he said in tht u can watch it in youtube.One thing shows tht he is jelosy of anil kapoor since he was in oscar awarding winning movie and SRK cannot withstand tht!!this is fact.Then Y he said he want a oscar and hope for winning one in oscar?

    PLZ donot delete this one

  • FAHAD:I didnot said salman deserve award.I was saying y akshay kumar did not get award in 2007 even he has give 4 back to back hit.And actor who always perform much better role like binay pathak in Dasvidaniya,veja fry and many more, ranvir sholey,N.shah never get nominted in best actor even they have done good and excellent role

  • Sudeep: Do you really think that in 2007, SRK didn’t deserve to win the award for his performance in “Chak De India”?????? I think He was far better than Akshay Kumar that year. Dear, Quality does matter not the quantity…….And by the way for which movie do you think that Akshay should have won the award in 2007???? Namstey London, Phir Hera Pheri or Welcome??????? Did he really act better than SRK in those movies???? I don’t want to comment on “OSO” that year but “Chak De India” was very good.

  • Sudeep:Shahrukh said he wants to get Oscar?!!! I don’t believe u.. I’ll viist the website and will see if he said something like that… and how do u assume that he’s jealouse of Anil Kapoor?!! R u living under his skin and sensing everything.. his heart beat, his feelings.. just go to hell Sudeep.. you’re the one who’s jealouse of Shahrukh’s success and wish if he’d fail one day and yr Akki would raise up to the top!

  • Fathiya:haha ,i m not jelousy of SRK,y should i be.I never wish SRK to fail.But I wish akshay to do good!!Y should i think of srk.I always think of akshay success.

  • WANTED will rock this year….if WANTED gets blockbuster or flop..but salman will remain same as SUPERSTAR….Salman has die-heart fans……salman khan rocks…

  • Sudeep: What’s wrong in it if SRK is looking to win Oscar. Every one wants to win it, Atleast he is honest enough to tell that publically……….

  • hey guys!!! whatever u say but SAlman is no 1 in all
    before when salman used to show his half naked all were used to tease him but wat the fact is all are copying him like saif srk even akshay hrithik everyone
    so who’s the best
    Fathiya its for u

  • all read it from a bollywood fan who doesnt live in india but iran. here after amitab bachan salman is the most popular. and i wanna tell you something. i hated hindi movies till 5 years ago. my first crush was hrithic and then a little shahrukh whom i cant stand anymore but hate salman. till i saw tere naam and i was shocked. i thought he sure die win an awars for that. but nothing. i watched many of his movies and today i think he is the most underrated actor in bollywood. you that talk about awards let me tell you something. in iran awards are not according to hits but acting even if it is 10 minutes. and now about salman acting. he never got award wether his movies were blockbusters average or flop. he had many movies that deserved awards. tere naam- jaane-eman- kyon ki(just because they were flop no one condiser them). and many more. he outed shahrukh in karan arjoon easily. i notice one more thin when a salmans movie is a flop they dont see anything aelse in movies. i mean look at yuvvreeaj or jaan-e-man with briliant music but no nomination cause they were flops. and also honestly how johm was nominated for best supprting actor for dostana but salman wasnt for heroes( a movies that i think you indians should be proud of). shahrikh is good actor ut just for overrating romantic roles to cry like a girl. i saw his action movies don and main hu na. really nonsense action. and much hyped om shanti om and rab ne jodi. juat same crying nothing more . so dont talk about awards that everybosy already knows about it. salman acts like a man not like a girl. i know you become very angry but for a salman fan like me that became his fan with his acting he is the best with someoned like amir. he is good in action romance comedy and many more and also after 5 years i know him as one of the best human beings.

  • First of all , I am not a SRK fan. I hate that man. My fav actors are Amitabh, Hrithik, Akshay,Salman and Amir. But going through the promos of Wanted, one can easily predict , it will not be a mere flop, but it will be a disaster.This movie will not work at all. To the Indicine team, Take My prediction

    1st week collection- not more then 12-16 crores
    Overseas will be disaster too

    Wait n Watch !

  • SS: say something sensible…salman is having crores of people as fans????…then y all his films are flops…u fans are not watching his films???? everyone hates SRK but all his films are hit… Why???think my frend bfor saying something…. all the movies which u said abt SRK were super hit…then dont u hav shame to say such things…

  • Sudeep: I’ve problem n viewing youtube now.. at this moment.. but will watch this press conference for sure after sometimes and will get back to you.

    Nazeer u consider him the best coz of his body!!!!!!!!!!!!! how old r you Nazeer: you and sudeep must be around 17 or 18 only.. yeah Sudeep is.. if I’m not wrong.. he’s 17 years old!! well dear.. see his performances in his movies and not his body.. he can’t be even at no. 5! even Rajeev who did the movie (Aamir) is a better actor.

    Vinshal: everyone don’t hate shahrukh.. shahrukh got millions of fans in this world and he’s the most popular in west and east.. more than Salman, but few guys only hate him, who r posting their comments in this page!

    SS: Do u really consider that crap crap crap kachra movie Jaanemann as a good movie?! It’s one of the worst indian movies which I saw so far.. that stupid director ( Farah Khan’s husband) who didn’t know anything in direction from a-z wasted out time by watching his work.. nothing to do with Salman’s acting.. but the movie was sooooo bad, as well as Yuvraaj which disappointed me. Subhash Gai who’s one of the best directors, making good movies, turned out to be this way!! If Yuvraaj was released during 70’s.. so it could’ve been a hit movie, but not for this decade.. the movie was boring and the direction wasn’t good. And Tere Naam was good.. I can’t deny that it was a good movie but I didn’t like the ending.

  • ya fathiya thats wat i mentioned there… SRK is having fans all around the world and tats y all his films are being hit…salman can act only in films like hello, hero, jaaneman,yuvraj,god tussi great ho,baabul,marigold, shadhi karke phas gaya, garv…… aahhh… how many of his fans hav seen this films…they might not hav even heard of it… if naseer and sudheep hav seen this films they can never love salman… even he does not kno to dance well… all same steps.. just clapping and walking.. thats his dance…

  • Fathiya : First i want to tell u i am not 17 or 18 instead i am 24 by the way there is one saying
    “Sach baat hamesha kadwaa lagthi hai ”
    actually his acting is superb but he is not recieving the award it does not mean bad actor as said by SS
    ok if his acting , dance etc is not good y the hell this directors willing to be him as hero u thing directors. producers are damn fooooooollll instead ur!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • vishal: i am sensible and i dont have shame to say such things. the biggest problem of salman is that he never did publicity for his movies and he just began it now and one more thing that he has done many special guest apperance thats why some of his fans got dissappointed. you tell me you really think a film like hello can get 10 crore opening by his actors without salman. 70 percent of salmans fans thought it is his movie. salman just needed the right movie like wanted and i am sure it will be a hit. and no matter what you say. shahrukh is still for me a crying girl nothing more . i am sure you will write more and i am not ganna answer cause i know who i like. i am just waiting for movie. by. just salman fans show them his star power. and by the way salman fans the answer of people like fathyia is just silence. just go and watch movie. oh i forgot salman is best looking. at least much younger than shahrukh. i dont know how many salman fans know but he quited smoking. by evrybody.

  • Nazeer:I thinku didn’t read all the comments which I posted already.. I’ve mentioned in this page why the producers& directors sign Salman for their movies.. I’m repeating it again.. Salman was so good looking actor in the past, became famous because of his look..there4 they still sign him coz they know he can pull millions of girls who’re his fans.. his fans not because of his great acting but because of his look…I always found him handsome, but not any more.. there4 I don’t think that he’ll survive in bollywood only if he improves his acting skills and get some good scripts and good directors to work with.. I’m sure this movie Wanted will be a flop. if not flop, only average, but won’t be a hit movie

  • Sudeep: now u really proved that you’re a dumbo.. idiot.. if not idiot, u r trying to spoil Shahrukh’s image.. and without watching any video of what u hv recommended and mentioned.. I was sure that you’re idiot.. I know Shahrukh’s character.. I know he’s not arrogant or a type of man that he considers himself the best.. you’re soooo stupid and would also believe yourself if u said to yourself while watching his old movie: Oh.. Shahurkh in the movie Phir bi Dil Hai Hindustani says in a song: I’m the best.. I’m the best.. I’m the best… see ppl this guy is crazy! he considers himself as the best!!

    that’s u Sudeep: Now I’ve watched part 1/4 of the press conference of the movie MNIK and Shahrukh says – while he’s joking: “they should gave me oscar awards 10 years ago.. what’s wrong with u guys” and then he smiles and says “jokes”.. that’s shahrukh.. his sense of humour stupid.

    People like – as I already said – want to take advantage of what Shahrukh says, to prove to the world that he’s not good.. he’s arrogant.. he’s.. he’s.. and if he joked and said: yeah ppl.. I’m gay.. so it’s true for ppl like you.. shahrukh would turn to be a gay because he only..joked!

    Just get lost u Sudeep and never say anything bad about Shahrukh from now on.

  • Fathiya:Y does every old srk fan does same thing!!!i have no argue with u.Y should i create bad image of Srk.if i can create ,i would surely create but is tht possible,the answer is hell no.Just donot be over smart.i know u r old women who like old one like SRK…..So stop saying crap about other. (since u have said lot of bad thing abt Salman)

    SRK was one who created fight among them.SRK is always one who try to become oversmart and feel like he is god of bollywood.He is such a jackass.

    Srry i move out of topic but donot delete this comment.People r just saying bad thing about salman,since most of people here r SRK fan and they donot want success of Salman.THe hype created by this movie is so good tht SRK fan r looking frustrated.

  • Salman is the rockstar of bollywood and if salman has flop then srk has mayamemsaab,dublicate,dil ashana hai,phr bhi dil hai hindustani,billu barber,oh darling yeh hai india,sililay,koyla,king uncle and many more.

  • Mr.Sudeep, wat hype did wanted created???? i dont understand… everyone came to kno about this film only 3 weeks befor…but look my name is khan was in news since 3 months… and that film is wat everyone waitng for…even if u dont agree also no problem…becos u kno that MY name is khan has created double hype than wantd…

  • One more thing i want to say, stop saying SRK is this SRK is that. We all know what kind of relationship SRK and Karan Johar share.They are gay. and not to mention how SRK insulted Prophet Mohamad of Muslim Religion in TIMES magazine ( google it). So stop saying good things about SRK , we all know how he is

  • Sudeep: there’s a say in Arabic ( I’ll try to translate it ) which says: Older than u one day is wiser than u a year)..means I’m older than u so I know better in life and in movies and how to judge ppl and how to distinguish goo movies from bad.

    And.. if someone is smart.. so he is.. not pretending so!! and if someone is not.. so he’s NOT.. not pretending so.. what the hell u r saying?!

    Arjun: I read the interview and he didn’t insult muslims.. it was just misunderstanding.. who cares what u guys think.. Shahrukh is the best and will remain the best whether he is straight or gay.. who cares.. we love him whatever he is.. and we don’t love some ppl even if they’re straight.. some ppl hv gift which others don’t.. and Shahrukh has a brain.. therefore I love him so much and he knows how to deal with his haters and with rumours.

    God bless him and protect him from ppl like you in this world.

  • Oh!! Come on Sudeep dont urgue with Fathiya Bcoz its not good to urgue with older people i think she might be of nearly 50(age) everytime comparing with older movies try to understand u guys so plzzzz
    one more i really realy agree with Arjun One insults his own religion i dont think so he is human being
    On the Eve of Ganesh Chathurthi SRK said ” I would have been BOrn AS HIndu Instead of Muslim” when he shooting for movie DON
    ( this purpose Fathiya is fan of SRK wat an idiot **** ( i think so…)).
    ok Fathiyaji

  • FathiyA:There is large gap between u and me.tht is called generation gap.time has already change.The younger one of today are more smarter than u people.Y did u say like tht.We are the future of tommarow.so plz keep ur mouth shot and saying bla and bla about other.
