Don't know abt shivaay, but adhm was a sh*tty movie ... It was a pure torture... Glad it did not become a superhit or something lol... Even prdp was way better than adhm... Salman movies kam se kam entertaining to hoti h, isliye audience loves to watch his movies...

Audience in India has gotten smart 🥳🥳🥳 These days WOM spreads fast no one pays any attention to crap. People have better things to do. Life is more fast paced. VFX sucks. The action in Fan was outdated and looked lame. Better shows and movies are coming out. People watch them with subtitles. We no longer live in the 90's that foreign locations are appealing in BW movies. They need to increase the pay of writers and dump directors that show no improvement. Be practical. Either progress with the times or stay regressive.

What would be the avg price for a multiplex ticket across 2 weeks movie run ?

High ticket price is also the reason ADHM earned few crore more than Shivay

Bold - that sounds like a polite version of Vidhu Vinod Chopra

Outspoken version = I don't watch Hindi Movies these days

haha, I watched Fan, so I do watch Hindi movies and criticism of Fan does not mean I look down upon Hindi movies but I see how it may look that way...with all the VFX hype and the trailer i had greater expectations.

Better shows and movies are coming out in Hindi, regional, English and international. I enjoyed the first half and I couldn't wait to see where the movie was going, but post interval destroyed everything the first half had built up. The action looked comical and started dragging instead of looking appealing (this is strictly my opinion). Had they hired someone different for the action choreography and made it more appealing... worked on the ending made it more impactful.. it would have worked. a lot of people liked the movie and i respect that, but there was absolutely no excuse for what they came up with in the second half with all the resources they had...i thought they just used the appeal of foreign locations for the sequences they came up with...

Screens

SHIVAAY - 2950
ADHM - 2850

TOTAL - 5800

That is 1450 Screens more than SULTAN - 4350.

SHIVAAY - Ajay D + Action + Foreign location + Hype

ADHM - KJO + Ranbir + Anushka + Aish + Superhit Music + Srk/Fawad's cameo + Controversy

With so much HYPE generated by both the films, Combine Business of Both the films is not even close to what it should have.

COMBINE BUSINESS

#ADHM - 87.75 Cr
#SHIVAAY - 70.87 Cr
TOTAL - 158.62 Cr

200 Cr Mark is still very far, might be impossible 2 reach.

#Sultan [4350 Screens] - 1st Week NETT Total was - 209 Cr Here 2 films with 5800 Screens are struggling to reach LIFETIME more than 200 Cr.

Why is Audience not interested in this year's FILMS?

Number of screens are incorrect as there are multiplexes here and single screens here. Many cinemas divide shows between one screen only. Like right now in the single screen near my house they are showing two shows of Shivay and two of ADHM. That doesnt mean screens are doubled. In last 3 months its not possible that BW suddenly got 1600 extra screens.

But otherwise I agree...seems like public comes out only for Salman, SRK and Aamir during Eid, Diwali and Xmas. Otherwise people sit at home and watch pirated versions of the movies. If it goes on like this the day is not far when BW will close down as we know it today. Perhaps with the retirement of the Khans itself BW's theaterical business will end as footfalls are going down due to high ticket prices and piracy.

How did you make that assumption ? ...can you send some links to prove it ?

Movies by and large are released on TV within couple of months ...and most TV Satellite devices have recording facility

Besides DVD aren't so expensive now...even legal down load are cheap.

P.s - This might be case in Pakistan though...as confirmed by few members

So bottom line is the 200 Cr+ gross is only possible during favorable release period

Christmas
Eid
Diwali

In that order.

The Khan manage to bully others to reserve these dates.

After Chennai Express, SRK at BO has come down few notches to below Akshay...Unless he turn the table with next couple of movies

I would love to see Salman & Aamir release their movies on normal days.

As far as ADHM+ Shivaay combined doing same business as PRDP (with less screens)...in my view, ADHM lost around 20 Cr on opening day & weekend due to Fawad's presence in the movie, afterWOM it was apparent that his role is just a couple of minutes of showpiece

Shivaay lost on opening on account of bad review (review fixing issue) and went on to catch up with ADHM after WOM.

P.S - Hats Off to Ranaut for pulling off an almost 150 Cr without all these holiday advantage.

My understanding..both these films r not family films..for ADHM it was clear from the trailers and Shivaay's subject was kinda disturbing for kids which kept me away..

And kids form a large part of audience which explains success of jungle book..also.. with them they keep atleast one of the parents away from the theatre

People like to see happy films in diwali. Not disturbing ones
