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.

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.

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.

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.
