I HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE, BUT I HAVE A CONTROVERSIAL OPINION ABOUT IT - Page 3

Not everyone did that. People like me did watch Dilwale before dissing it, even posted a review after FDFS watch (due to SRK Kajol factor) 😕 , but it was really trash and watched BM on the same weekend and liked it.


@ TM - That's the case of this forum. 😆 Personally, I have watched all movies before I participated in their Haai Haai' maatam 😆 . Loved Padmaavat as well 😳

Dilwale controversy was about SRK's statements and not the content of the film. Padmavati controversy was about the content of the film. Pretty much like Udta Punjab. Both Padmaavat and Udta Punjab hence benefited. For Dilwale disturbances didnt add on anywhere else where there was no disruption unlike Padmaavat where some places there was a no show but other places got a massive advantage due to the controversy.

#justsaying

Also at the cost of sounding whiny and repetitive the mother of all bullying happened during Befikre time..

But Yes as someone said Time to move on !!!

Controversy Factor - Padmaavat v Tiger Comparison

Saturday 03 February 2018 19.00 IST

Box Office India Trade Network

The controversy factor of Padmaavati can be seen in the figures below. these are numbers for cities which had a clear run and were little affected by protests and violence over the Fri - Thu period. There were issues in Gurgaon and Lucknow on day one (Thursday) but after it went clear.

The figures match or better the Tiger Zinda Hai numbers on Xmas week which pretty much tells how much hype was created as to match the Tiger Zinda Hai numbers on Xmas week is insane. This was simply impossible if the hype and controversy was not there. Actually when the trailer launched of Padmaavat it would be unthinkable for it to match Tiger Zinda which had a holiday week. Maybe a case could be made for Mumbai but definitely not North. The smaller the the center goes then Tiger Zinda Hai starts to lead as the media hype works less in smaller places. Places like Jalandhar and Amritsar are A centers but smaller compared to the rest on the list and these are the only ones where Tiger Zinda Hai has a comfortable lead.

The film may have not released at many places but these is no doubt that the controversy has pushed this film to a different level especially in the centers below which had a clear run. Below are the Fri - Thu collections in some cities of Padmaavat and Tiger Zinda Hai and they are like for like from the same cinemas.

Padmaavat Second Monday Business

Tuesday 06 February 2018 12.30 IST

Box Office India Trade Network

Padmaavat is sustaining very well into its second week with collections of 6 crore nett in its second week. The film has grossed nearly 50 crore nett in its second week and seems to be heading for a 65 crore nett total for the second week.

This will take the business to around 225 crore nett in two weeks before Padman arrives on Friday. The way the film is collecting it will continue to hold in the third week. It has to remembered that the 6 crore nett on Monday has come without some markets and occupancy for a second Monday is very strong. The 250 crore nett mark is there for the film and 275 crore nett cant be ruled as the film is accepted and could go on for sometime like Tiger Zinda Hai did. The business of Padmaavat till date is as follows.

First Week - 1,59,50,00,000 apprx

Friday - 9,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 15,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 18,50,00,000 apprx

Monday - 6,00,00,000 apprx

Second Weekend - 49,50,00,000 (4 Days)

Grand Total - 2,09,00,00,000

Padmaavat hit the 400 crore mark worldwide on Monday making it the eighth highest worldwide grosser of all time. The film is likely to stay in this position though has an outside chance to hit 500 crore. It is now the highest non Khan grosser not only in India but worldwide after Bahubali - The Conclusion

The out performance has come in South India, Maharashtra, US / Can and Australia where it is already or will become the highest grosser ever after Bahubali - The Conclusion. Bajirao Mastani had grossed 356 crore worldwide and this film is looking to add 125 crore to that film even though it did not release in three states of India.

Tiger Zinda Hai has almost finished its run and looks to be finishing at 556 crore. Bahubali - The Conclusion remains by far the biggest Hindi film worldwide despite actually not being and outright Hindi film. The top worldwide grossers of all time are as follows. (All collections for Hindi language only)
