They say that the opening of a movie determines star power...just curious cuz everyone here says Varun and Alia are the biggest stars from the new gen...which I guess its true...but their movie only opened 1-2 crores more than Half Gf? Isnt that...kinda sad?
BKD had (according to people here) best songs of the year, "legendary" music, big production house, Varun, Alia etc etc and not to mention LOTS of over hype.

HGF also had hype, good music (not on the same level as EV or Aashiqui-2 though)...everyone hated the trailer?

So all that extra jazz just adds on 1-2 crores? LOL...Ofcourse lifetime is going to be higher cuz HGF is a horrid movie, but that depends on content right.

Credit goes to Mohit Suri & the music. If Shraddha had star power Okj & RO2 would not be disasters with peanut opening.

HG had the most crap reviews and still held against Bahubali and Hindi Medium(Which is also doing okay), HG IMO has the edge over BKD in terms of opening. Used to like Alia-Varun's pairing but the over-hype has killed the excitement to see them onscreen.

This star kids are only overhyped by Kjo. All their movies are semi hit after 1 year promoting them as mad.

BKD is a hit franchise.any film whose sequel has the same director and same A list starcast has always got a better opening.

Befikre had around the same opening...Hit director-unpoular heroine

HG had hit writer and hit MD

releases in March don't normally open as big as summer releases when students are almost done with schools and papers and summer vac are around the corner
BKD is one of the highest march grossers..or i feel it is the highest ever

opening considering march is very good..it would have been 16-17 if released in summers

having said that..shradha and arjun have proved they have pull..with everything baring music widely criticized for this movie..it opened so well..kudos

they are all brightest of the newer stars for sure..

the biggest loser however is parineeti whose movie came and went without anyone even bothering to notice..9cr lifetime is embarrassment to a whole new level..comments on her insta are gold :p

all 4 are starkids

not like arjun and shradha are outsiders

2 states, badri and abcd 2 are 100cr plus superhits

there are a million reasons to dislike but facts cannot be altered..
