Emraan Hashmi or Ranbir Kapoor, Who is a bigger Box Office Bet?

After the Khans, Kumar and Devgan the Box Office meter shows that the next league of Superstars are clearly Ranbir Kapoor and Emraan Hashmi. Others like Shahid Kapoor, Imran Khan, Ranveer Singh are still far from this league.

Talking of Ranbir Kapoor we have discussed earlier about his Box office journey on koimoi. It has not been a blockbuster or Superhit journey but has been a performance oriented graph.

Emraan Hashmi In Raaz 3 Movie Stills and Ranbir Kapoor In Barfi! Movie Stills

In case of Emraan Hashmi, he may have churned more hits than Ranbir Kapoor in his bollywood career. He has created his fan following and also entered the hearts of Multiplex from being a only Single Screen hero. He also has 3 hits out of his last releases in Raaz 3, Jannat 2 and Murder 2. Not to mention, Shanghai was also an average fare.

Ranbir Kapoor on the other hand is currently a mutilplex hero as seen from his last 2 releases Rockstar and Barfi!. Rockstar also had a good start but couldn't earn a commercial success tag.

The star power is also proven by the strength of the star to command an initial for his movie. Though the likes of Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan are a phenomenon these 2 have also done well in their league. Talking about the two stars let's compare the opening weekend of their recently released movies Raaz 3 and Barfi!.

Amount In Crores Raaz 3 (Emraan Hashmi) Barfi! (Ranbir Kappor)
Opening Day 10.50 9.20
Day 2 11.00 11.50
Day 3 13.50 13.90
Opening Weekend Total 35.00 34.60

The above figures say both Ranbir and Emraan are at par in the opening weekend of their last outing. Barfi! has more Multiplex support and Raaz 3 did well of initial multiplex and later single screen support.

Raaz 3 has already achieved 64 crores in India box office and may end at 70 crore lifetime collection. The coming week will tell about Barfi's stand at the box office.

Emraan made his debut in 2003 with Foothpath and Ranbir debuted in 2007 with Saawaryia. There is no doubt that Emraan and Ranbir are here to stay for a long run coming years. Who do you think is the "Lambi Race Ka Godha"?

Emraan Hashmi is the dark horse of the film industry...Ranbir on the other hand is a typical commercial hero like the Khans and Kumars and a safe bet.

I like Emraan even though he talks really fast in all his films.. He's more successful than Ranbir, but Ranbir will always be a better actor. No one but him could have done Barfi or Rockstar.

If Emraan had the backing of the media..glowing reviews of his film days in advance..
and budget for promotions and publicty like Ranbir has had so far..
and a big saleable heroine..a popular director,big banner..
Will Emraan score? Hell Yeah!
And its going to happen..soon! Top banners ,directors and heroines are keen!

Yaaayyy.. I was not the only one to point that out.. I said in my Raaz's review that he needs to work on his dialogue delivery.. seems like he is in a hurry or something.. he speaks so fast..and in real he talks just fine..
