Now beta should start playing with boxoffice figure to save his fake reputation

So shahid and VB were smart enough not to change the date of haider. Well played.

From very first promo there was nothing worth watching except beautiful location, kitty's bikini and abnormal face of hritik. Story should be the last thing one should try to find in such movie.

I thought after flop fanny, kitty's way is clear for no.1 actress but both top actress giving flops. So now happily give this place to shraddha.

The worse it could be is "semi-hit". BB is not gonna be a "flop" because it has already done 152 crores business worldwide and 108crores by the end of 5th day. Even Jai Ho is considered a "semi-hit" and it was a worse case.

I think its not easy to recover budget. Hope its semi hit but for big stars- movie is either hit or flop. No semi or average.

Right...Even a semi hit in a long weekend+festive season is kind of unexpected from a big star like Hrithik

Even though I am a huge fan of both Hrithik-Katrina for some reason this movie NEVER interested me. The songs were stale and even though everything "looked" really good something was always off.
and then with Haider, I had no expectations (even though I like Both Shahid and Shraddha) I just assumed it would be destroyed by Bang Bang, but they have held their own and how! Full credit to Shahid/VB for having enough confidence in their product to take on BB at the box office.
Haider is probably going to reach 30-35 crores by the end of this holiday weekend and IMO that is remarkable. First of all its a dark and offbeat film, the songs are good but haven't made an impact, Shahid has been going through a rough patch. VB's last film was a disaster - on top of that they decided to take on BB...Haider had EVERYTHING going against it and more ...but I am very happy it is sustaining and creating its own mark!
I actually feel taking on BB has benefited Haider. Very smart of VB to do so, perhaps Haider wouldn't have done so well if it was released on its own. I get it now!!

Exactly. Now there should be only two option- hit or flop. Semi hit and average options are for small budget and less popular stars.

I think it will depend on how the media will write about it. Like Race 2. I thought it was a hit since every body included the movie when they talked about DP's hits but I checked BOI and it is labelled a "semi-hit".

bechari bang bang 😆
200-300 plus kr rhi thi pr abhi tak 100 bhi nhi hua hai 😭
Feeling sad for those people who thought Haider is going to be washout due to the film which is plain bad even for eyes. Too much of stupid illogical action and weird looking annoying leads.

You are plain wrong. It reached 108 crores (India only) by the end of 5th day. Since we are talking about numbers, let's check the FACTS.

People are making it seem like it is somehow more terrible than the usual blockbusters. If you can put up with things like Dhoom 3, CE, Kick then you can put up with Bang Bang. In my opinion BB is better and it make 10x more sense than these other movies did. It was a fun movie. The songs are nice, it follows a basic plot and that is different than the original. Locations are gorgeous, Hrithik Katrina looks very good together. The action scenes are the best I have seen in any Bollywood films. The dancing is superb. It is not a bad movie. Even if the movie is not pulling the outrageous numbers like people expected it to it is really not a bad film. And so what if the movie doesn't pull the big number. It is competing against Haider which is a VERY VERY good film.
Of course it is hard to say positive things about the movie when you compare it to Haider. Which I think a lot of people are doing knowingly and unknowingly.
