That's inflation adjusted gross. In that context, you can bring up many Hema Malini, Sridevi and Madhuri movies.

Hema Malini's Seeta Aur Geeta for example in today's time would be a 200 crore adjusted gross in today's time!

Mother India would be 400-500 crore in today's time.

Thanks.

You have any opinion into why female -centric movies don;t get huge sums?

Is it cause male-centric movies are attracting a lot of female viewership?

Culture?

Habits of movie going public?

Prevalence of male movies?

Bahubali 2 Is The Biggest Hindi Blockbuster This Century

Thursday 08 June 2017 12.00 IST

Box Office India Trade Network

Bahubali 2 - The Conclusion has emerged the biggest Hindi blockbuster this century as it became a bigger blockbuster than Gadar Ek Prem Katha (2001). Bahubali 2 has notched up 5.21 crore footfalls in Hindi in five weeks beating Gadar Ek Prem Katha which was 5.06 crore. These two films stand head and shoulders above the rest this century with both topping 5 crore footfalls. The others lag well behind with Dangal on 3.61 crore, Bajrangi Bhaijaan on 3.54 crore and PK on 3.50 crore. Bahubali 2 in Hindi is not the biggest blockbuster ever as Hum Aapke Hain Kaun had 7.40 crore footfalls in 1994 and there will probably be 8-10 other films topping 5 crore footfalls.

Basically Bahubali 2 (Hindi) is the biggest blockbuster this century and the second biggest blockbuster in the last 25 years after Hum Aapke Hain Kaun. In terms of all time it is probably in the Hindi top ten or at least very close to the top ten. The biggest achievement by Bahubali 2 (Hindi) is that 5 crore footfalls have come after 16 years and it looked as if it would never happen because films were struggling to even get close to 4 crore. This film has shown that blockbusters of epic proportions that can compete with legendary blockbusters are still possible. We were in a period that records were being broken every year or two but Bahubali 2 will change this as when in history a film like this has come then records have stuck for sometime. The hope will be that it does not take another 16 years to have a blockbuster of this level. The biggest Hindi blockbusters of the last 25 years with the adjusted nett gross (the older films are adjusted for 2016 levels as there is no Average Ticket Price for 2017 yet) are as follows.

1. Hum Aapke Hain Kaun - 7,05,00,00,000

2. Bahubali 2 - 5,04,00,00,000 apprx (40 Days)

3. Gadar Ek Prem Katha - 4,82,00,00,000

4. Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge - 4,58,00,00,000

5. Raja Hindustani - 3,90,00,00,000

Bahubali 2 - The Conclusion (all languages) has close to 10 crore footfalls across India which is more than Hum Aapke Hain Kaun though its in four languages compared to the one of Hum Aapke Hain Kaun and even if we add Hum Aapke Hain Kaun in Telugu then Bahubali 2 (all languages) still remains well ahead.

If we take the 10 crore footfalls it still probably is not the biggest blockbuster ever in India as Mother India (1957), Mughal E Azam (1960) and Sholay (1975) will have more footfalls than Hum Aapke Hain Kaun and at least one if not all three will be more than 10 crore and they were just one format films.

Well, primarily it has to be the whole patriarchal mindset, don't you think?

Forget India, Even abroad, we struggle with that shit in showbiz, sports. People would watch men's sports rather than women's sports. Lemme give you an example, US women's soccer team is faaar more accomplished than their men's soccer team. Guess their wage? It's exactly you think it is. Shitty feeling eh.

Secondly, as far as I am aware, movie-going demographic in India are skewed perhaps 65-35% towards males. Hell, maybe even higher. Their sensibilities are PERHAPS not where you want it to be ideally. 😆

Mainly Raazi probably as it was carried by Alia and Alia only. Stree while I give lot of credit to Shradhha for bringing the hype and opening, still it had strong supporting roles to pull the movie.

So if we look at the past we see that footfalls and viewing in the movies has declined. But that's expected due to the varied nedia available bnowadays, I'd say.

As in you can watch many movies through TV, internet , apps... and so on.

From that article I get that Baahubali 2 proved that good movies made with the big epic canvas idea can still bring in huge amounts and be universally loved if the story is good and the acting (everything, really) connects.

Also considering that Mother India had Nargis, a female lead can also bring in huge audience if acting/scriipt/directing ..all fall into place

As for the second answer..thanks. 😊.

True, we struggle to have equality in the true sense. Inindia and abroad.

I'd say there are far more female -centric movies abroad that have become successful though. Especially in , say, last 10 years.

Thanks for the demographic numbers . I didn't know .

Not going to comment on sensibilities , what with me not being from there. It would cause some..reactions.😆

Stree ? Female Centric ? How ? Shraddha had nothing to.do.

Just remove her character and there wont be any effect on story.

Its Raj Kumar Rao who did everything. Its that Chudial Girl. Its Pankaj Tripathi who binds the plot.

Sorry i dont think Shraddha should be attributed for its success.
