All India Six Weeks Comparison Bajrangi Bhaijaan V PK

Source: Box office india

Bajrangi Bhaijaan has gone ahead of PK again in the sixth week. It is the first time it has bettered PK weekly figures after the first week. It shows how various factors affect films as Bajrangi Bhaijaan has not held as strong as PK since week two but still the sixth week comes out better. It has a lot to do with the competition you face every week in the run. Weaker competition or no competition enables successful films hold better. For flop films it makes little difference.

The final gap between Bajrangi Bhaijaan and PK will be around 22 crore nett. Around 10 crore nett is down to Baahubali in South India and also because the film did not perform well in Tamil Nadu / Kerala where it was 5 crore nett less than PK which is a huge amount for such a small circuit.

The rest 12 crore and more is down to ticket pricing and more competition in its run than PK. Below are the weekly figures for Bajrangi Bhaijaan and PK for the first six weeks.

Baahubali vs Bajrangi Bhaijaan

Source: Box office India

Q. Bajrangi Bhaijaan was seen as the biggest blockbuster of Salman Khan but an opening of 26 crore has to called a disappointment?

Ans. It is probably meant biggest grosser which it be. The fact is that Salman Khan is unlikley to give a bigger blockbuster than Hum Aapke Hain Kaun. You never say never but these sort of blockbusters come to very few and the rare stars that get such a blockbuster do not repeat it. As far as the opening goes it was Pre Eid and the real value of the opening is on par with Dhoom 3 which in real value is the biggest opening in recent times.
M. Sikdar

Q. Baahubali grossed 150 crore in its first weekend and Bajrangi Bhaijaan did 105 crore. Does this not show the real value of Bajrangi Bhaijaan which is being called a blockbuster and a great film?

Ans. This is like comparing houses with cars. Box Office numbers are generally inflated but there is a degree to that inflation. There are highly inflated numbers and others which are less inflated. Here is one number which is near actuals and another which is highly inflated so comparison is pointless. Basically Bajrangi Bhaijaan is the highest weekend for a film in one language and the second highest in multiple languages after Dhoom 3. Baahubali has also done incredible business but the numbers going around are much higher than its actual business.
S. Raghavan

Q. Does Drishyam have a chance at the box office?

Ans. It is totally dependent on the word of mouth but even if word of mouth is strong the business will be limited as the film looks like a regional film.
Keshav Kumar

Q. Will Bajrangi Bhaijaan have to beat the business of PK to be and All Time Blockbuster?

Ans. An All Time Blockbsuter is not record gross holder but just a film that is a lot bigger than the regular blockbuster. A film may beat PK in 3 years time but that does not mean its an All Time Blockbsuter because business will be generally higher. It will depend what the final Bajrangi Bhaijaan shares are and how the territories finish up. Easiest way to sum it is if it does not cross PK in any circuit in India then it won't be an All time Blockbuster because its not as if PK set records by distances that films like Sholay and Hum Aapke Hain Kaun did.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan Fourth Week Business

Source: Box Office India

Bajrangi Bhaijaan grossed 10.25 crore nett in week four which is the third highest fourth week collection ever. The film in four weeks has grossed 309 crore nett and will probably settle at a lifetime total of 313-315 crore nett.

The film is the highest nett grosser ever in Delhi / UP, CP Berar, CI, Bihar , Assam and Orissa. The figures in East Punjab, Rajasthan and West Bengal are close to records but it may not have the legs to get another 50-70 lakhs needed in these three circuits. All three circuits do have the highest distributor share ever. The film has grossed more than any other film in history from single screens.

The footfalls will cross 3.5 crore which makes it the most watched film since Gadar in 2001 beating PK, 3 Idiots, Dhoom 3 and Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham.

Source: Box Office India

Bajrangi Bhaijaan kept the momentum going in its fourth weeeknd with collections in the 7-7.25 crore nett range and comparitively PK grossed around 8 crore nett in its fourth weekend and that was the first time PK had faced competition from another release after three open weeks. The main difference between Bajrangi Bhaijaan and PK has been the third week where PK had an open week while Bajrangi Bhaijaan faced competition from Drishyam. There was a 13 crore nett business in difference between the two films in week three.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan has grossed 306 crore nett till date and should be around 310 crore nett at the end of the week.

The distributor share is 154.25 crore and will finish at around 157-158 crore which will be a little short of the 161 crore done by PK. The film has topped 8 crore nett in Bihar and become the first film to do so.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan Heading For All Time Blockbuster Status

Source: Box Office India

Bajrangi Bhaijaan grossed 1.25 crore nett on its fourt Friday as the competition around it means it is losing pace. Still the film should coume out a good weekend for a fourt week. The collections will 5 crore at a minmum. The total till date for the film is close to 300 crore nett and the finish will be around 310 crore nett.

The film should see some circuits hit all time records this week either in nett collections or distributor share. There will not be any records in Mumbai as the circuit looks at a 85 crore nett finish which is well short of the 100 crore nett plus of PK.In South also the Baahubali wave affected the film from day one.

The figures have to come out on top in the other markets for it to be an All Time Blockbsuter especially North India and its looking to just about get there. If it happens it will mean it is highest nett grosser in half of India. The best business for the film should come out in Delhi / UP even after the entertainment tax was doubled in Delhi city on day four of release though a tax free status in UP from second week cushioned that blow a little.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan Second Tuesday Business


Bajrangi Bhaijaan grossed around 9 crore nett plus on Tuesday which was similar to its figure on Monday. The second week figures of Bajrangi Bhaijaan till date are as follows. 

Friday - 12,75,00,000
Saturday - 19,00,00,000
Sunday - 24,00,00,000
Monday- 9,25,00,000 
Tuesday - 9,25,00,000 apprx

The total for the second week is now 74 crore nett plus and should be around the 90 crore nett mark for week two. The film is phenomenal in Delhi / UP with business now hitting 50 crore nett and that is despite a tax hike in Delhi city last week to 40% from 20%.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan Is Rock Steady On Second Monday

Source: Box Office India



Bajrangi Bhaijaan remained rock steady on its second Monday with collections likely to be around 9.50 crore nett plus. The general drop is 30% from Friday which would mean a 9 crore nett total but the tax free status is helping in UP and that will give an extra boost as Delhi/UP will end up close to 3 crore nett with a huge contribution from UP.

The collections of PK on Monday were 10 crore nett plus and its unlikely that Bajrangi Bhaijaan will be better. PK second week was in holiday week so what is happenning is the weekday collections are better for PK and weekends are better for Bajrangi Bhaijaan..

The total after 11 days will be 248.75 crore nett and after a similar period P.K was 245.25 crore nett so it still has the edge but by the end of the week it will probably be less as PK got advantage of New Years Day holiday. The film will have actually trended better than PK in the second week but collections will be lower as PK second week was in holiday period.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan Set For Huge Total In Overseas




Bajrangi Bhaijaan will easily close over $20 million in Overseas as its ten day total is $17 million plus. The overseas market can't be judged with a total figure as before with some films releasing in countries like China, South Korea and Japan where most Hindi films won't release.

So the Overseas market becomes a bit like the Indian market which is compared circuit by circuit. Basically it will be interesting to see where Bajrangi Bhaijaan final totals stand against the other biggies like PK and Dhoom 3 in UK, US / Canada, Gulf and Australia. This will give actual idea as to how it has performed against the other films.

The Pakistan market is also almost as big as Australia today but its a different market as a Khoobsurat will gross more than a Humpty Sharma due to local artist and films which are patriotic struggle to release there. The film has also done well in Nepal despite the country suffereing hugely from the earthquakes a few months back. Bajrangi Bhaijaan could even go to the $25 million mark with just a traditional market release. In UK and The Gulf it will cross PK and is chasing the record figures of Dhoom 3 in both circuits.

Another Record For Bajrangi Bhaijaan On Sunday


Bhaijaan has set another record on its second Sunday with the highest collections ever on a second Sunday with collections looking to be around 24 crore nett. It will also be a second weekend record with collections of 55.50 crore nett

PK released last Christmas had grossed 53.40 crore nett in its second weekend with 14.4 crore nett on Friday, 17.10 crore nett on Saturday and 21.90 crore nett on Sunday Here for Bajrangi Bhaijaan the apprx figures are 12.75 crore nett for Friday, 18.75 crore nett on Saturday and 24 crore nett on Sunday. PK was ahead on the Friday but on Saturday and Sunday it has been Bajrangi Bhaijaan in overdrive.


It had looked at the time that PK had set a huge second weekend record which will take long to surpass but it has held for just 7 months. The second week record may be hard to crack for Bajrangi Bhaijaan has PK had a big New Year's Day holiday which gave it an advantage of 6 crore nett. Its hard but impossible and a second week record will be simply phenomenal as its being done without the benefit of a holiday.
