so did u seriously ask why jackie shroff is doing this movie? who do u think he is? A superstar? He has been doing b grade movies since the 90's. Remember his dilliwali zalim girlfriend? has anyone even know about that movie? yeah he did that even I haven't watched that movie and I watch most of them.

what was in housefull 2? akki and ritesh are there. Instead of mithun we've jackie, does that even make a difference? boman is there with chunky as always and john is replaced with abhi. R u telling me that somehow makes a difference? john has better comic timing than abhi or r u referring to his nonexistent star power?

U r wrong here. This movie will be a hit, will make 120cr 😊

as for sajid khan, I'm glad he didn't make this movie. after watching himmatwala and humshakals I've no hope from that guy, lets give sajid farhad a chance


Relax dude! For Jackie Shroff, I meant more in the context of some of the big films he did in recent years such as Dhoom 3 and Happy New Year. Both films were huge grossers in which he atleast had a defined role: father of Aamir in the former and whom the story of the film was based on, and the enemy of SRK in the latter, again whom the story of the film was based on. In this film, on the other hand, which is also a big film, he doesn't seem to have a defined role.

To give credit where it's due, sure Jackie was never a superstar, but he was from the bottom of the barrel either! He did have star power.

With Abhi I am mostly referring to him having zero star power, and his current depression stage. Early reviews show that his acting in the film is not good.

Speaking of which, the early reviews suggest that the film is trash, which is exactly what I've been predicting because of the horrible promos! 😊

I'm relaxed man 😃

but again u r talking like jackie is some superstar who is choosy with his roles. he will do anything and everything. those were big grossers no thanks to him. he was there for what? 10mins in dhoom 3? u think he wouldn't have done it if it starred some other b grade actors? u think he wouldn't have done it if it was a c grade movie? he certainly would have so makes no difference how much those movies made.

u r like oh he did dhoom 3 and happy new year and compared to those movies housefull isn't that big, I mean really? why don't u go through his filmography and see how many z grade movies he has done, not only now but even in the 90's. he was playing 2nd fiddle to shakti kapoor and kader khan in 'baap numbari beta dus numbari'

what starpower did he have? he was playing 2nd fiddle most of the time to anil or sanju or even to shakti kapoor, oh forget shakti, he played 2nd fiddle to a dog in teri meherbaniya 👏

depress or no depress we don't know and no one cares. as far starpower is concerned, again how much does it matter? the movie runs on akki and housefull name not on ritesh or someone else's star power. as mentioned before, john has none either.

so yea lets wait 2 weeks to see if your prediction comes true but your other points are nonsense as mentioned above.

Dude as I said, Jackie Shroff was NEVER a superstar! But, he was never at the bottom of the barrel either. He did have some star power in the 80s, as he had box office hits such as HERO, KARMA, and RAM LAKHAN to his credit.

DHOOM 3 and HAPPY NEW YEAR were bigger films than HOUSEFULL 3, but my main point was about how Jackie's character formed the main story in those films, where as in HOUSEFULL 3 his role seems neither here or there: in fact, the reviews have hardly even mentioned anything about him, even whereas he had more significant roles in much bigger films like D3 and HNY.

Anyway, we shouldn't discuss him too much, as he isn't one the 3 main leads. Sure, Akshay is the main guy of Housefull, but the fact remains that Riteish and Abhishek are playing equally important roles alongside Akshay. The reviews seem pretty much in sync with what I predicted: Akshay being the best of the lot, Riteish not finding as much appreciation (he is said to be repetitive), and Abhishek being the least liked of the three.

Anyway, here's the box office updates!

#Housefull3 Fri 15.21 cr. India biz... Sat + Sun biz should add to a STRONG total... Current trends suggest 50 cr [+/-] weekend... #HF3



BOI:

Housefull 3 Has Decent Second Day
Saturday 04 June 2016 23.30 IST
Box Office India Trade Network
0

Housefull 3 has grossed around 16 crore nett as per early estimates on Saturday. The film has shown growth in the 5% range but could have been better but on the other side there is some growth there. The film has fairly good collections but trend is average over the first two days. The two day total is around 31 crore nett plus.

The main growth has come in Delhi NCR and Bangalore while single screens are an issue for the film and are not performing. The single screens did not open great yesterday and fell further today. The film will be depending on multiplexes as its unlikely the single screen contribution will be like it should for a big commercial hindi film.

The film will need a big jump on Sunday to reach 50 crore nett and it is possible though single screens will have to have that big jump on Sunday which they normally do. The weekend will probably fall short of the 52 crore nett of Fan which is the highest weekend of 2016.

HERO, KARMA, and RAM LAKHAN

u just proved my point. 2 of these movies are not his, in both he is playing 2nd fiddle to anil and even to dilip kumar.

and as I said even if his character didn't form the main story he would still have done it so why the shock of him doing housefull 3 like its beneath him? that's why I started this debate that u think like this movie is somehow beneath this guy when I've pointed out already that the guy has been doing z grade roles in z grade movies ever since the 90's. Do u get what I"m saying?

if u think his character shaped the story in dhoom3 or happy new year then here he does the same, watch the movie and u will know, its no better or worse than those movies. same 10min role, same importance or whatever.

that's on u. u brought him up like this big guy who is doing housefull 3 a film which is beneath him and now u r like we shouldn't discuss him because u know he is not one of the main guys 😆

once again the guy was playing 2nd fiddle to a dog and u have a problem with him doing housefull 3 because u know apparently its not that significant of a role 🤣

yea the roles are equal but ofc akki is the main guy even with equal roles. point still remains that public is gonna go in for the franchise or for akki not for abhi or ritesh, they're after thoughts.

Relax, Stop, Breathe 😃 Let's break down how this problem started, shall we?

"oh, and in case you didn't know, which I'm sure you probably didn't, Jackie Shroff is in this film too. God knows what his role is, and more importantly, why he chose to be a part of this film in the first place!"

This is the statement that's bothering you, correct?

As I wrote this, I DIDNT have any intention in saying he is the biggest star in the world, as you somehow seem to be interpreting it. All I felt was that his role seems like a non-existen/unimportant one, one that an actor would think twice about, especially as he is established VETERAN in the industry. Is that fair enough, labelling him as an established veteran rather than a star?

I did watch DHOOM 3 and HAPPY NEW YEAR, my point was his character served as the formation for the story/plot in both films. That's all I'm saying.

You say he was second fiddle in the movies I mentioned (HERO, KARMA, RAM LAKHAN). Fair enough. But yet, we can't count out the fact that they were also his box office successes, and the fact that he isn't some z-grade star!


I hope this provides rest to the discussion! You have your points, I have mine.

I'm relaxed man just because I'm debating with u over this doesn't mean I'm worked up 😊

I'm not interpreting it like that at all.

and that's what I'm saying even if its an unimportant role, jackie wouldn't think twice about it, veteran or no veteran, he doesn't care. he has done 10min role in c grade movies like 'dilwali zalim girlfriend' even bigboss contestant like ajaz gets to play lead roles in those movies but even there jackie plays a 10min role and u have problem with him playing some role in housefull 3, that's what's its about.

I did watch DHOOM 3 and HAPPY NEW YEAR, my point was his character served as the formation for the story/plot in both films. That's all I'm saying.



2 movies doesn't define his filmography, if he was a guy who didn't play 2min role in every other film then we would talk, then your argument would have weight not with the guy who does z grade roles in c grade movies.

do u understand what I'm saying? I'm saying u shouldn't be shock because its jackie and he has done far worse and u r like no he is veteran and somehow he shouldn't be doing this role, he is doing this role and that's a shock to me, how can he and I'm like really? u expect this guy who plays 2nd fiddle to a dog in his prime, u expect this guy who plays some z grade character in c grade movie and u r surprised that he is part of housefull 3, I mean really?

lets see what he has done recently

chalk n duster = a b grade movie in which he is there for what? 10mins? in which juhi and shabana are the leads, enough said!

jazbaa = 5min role in an aishwarya and irfan movie


Chehere = another z grade movie with manisha and manisha is the lead


3:56 Killari = has anyone even heard of this movie?


brothers = another 10min role


Dilliwaali Zaalim Girlfriend = no one even knows how the leads are but it ain't jackie. z grade movie



Dirty Politics = the leads are malaika sherawat with naseer and om puri and he is playing 2nd fiddle to them in a cgrade movie


should I go on or this is enough?


a guy who has this kind of filmography and u r surprised that he is doing housefull 3. a superhit franchise with a superstar in it 👏 👏 👏

I have no idea about your predictions but Housefull3 is not a flop for sure. It will be a hit.
ABJr has no depression and is doing well and also better than some superstars.

This is never going to end because we have our own opinions. I remember Jackie Shroff having a significant role in some of the recent biggest films like Dhoom 3 and HNY, and you remember him for those third-class films. Fair enough. I still feel he deserved a better deal than Housefull 3, especially after I have seen this film now. I feel he is a strong actor when given the right role, especially in intensity/emotion, and I feel he didn't get the proper film to shine through in Housefull 3. You will feel him doing Housefull 3 is nothing compared to other crap films he's done. Fair enough. Let's move on now!


My opening weekend prediction of 50+ crores was correct. The film has had a decent hold on Monday, but let's see where the film finishes. Welcome Back had a similar trend and finished with lifetime collections in the 90+ crores range...
