As recently we have seen Akshay Kumar movies has huge variation in collections we are taking the safe route and will have prediction based on Average to Mixed Word of Mouth. So, let's start with the Box Office Collection Prediction of Khiladi786.
Khiladi 786 stars Akshay Kumar and Asin Thottumkal in lead roles. Akshay Kumar is having one of the best year of his life with Super Successes in Housefull 2, Rowdy Rathore and Oh My God. On the other his Housefull 2 co-star Asin is there and one can safely say that Asin is having the best success rate ever in Bollywood in her short span of stay in Tinsel Town. Many co-stars of Asin believes her as lucky charm. Also, Khiladi Kumar is promoting the movie extensively, that suggest its content is definitely better than Joker.

Budget - Around 45 crore (30 Production Cost + 15 for PA & Marketing). Not Confirmed, still actual should be in that range.

Music, Home Video and other rights should be at least 8-9 crore. So, we can assume that K786 has recovered around a minimum of 35-37 crore (Median value 36 crore) even before the release of the film. That means the makers have already recovered around 70% of total budget of the film before its release.

Indian Box Office history. If K786 gets ideally 100% occupancy it should get around 27-28 crore nett all India mark. But, realistically its should get an occupancy of 80-90% at max (which is very high for such wide release film), which will take its
Single Day potential to 23 crore nett all India mark. Since, it is releasing on normal day occupancy of 60% will be damn good.
