Boss has collected around 12.5 – 13 crore on its opening day at the box office. Single-screens were good throughout the day, but like we have mentioned time and again, 75-80% of business still comes from multiplexes, out of which a huge chunk comes from big city multiplexes.. it is at these places where Boss has under-performed on Wednesday.
In a circuit like Mumbai, the opening was low on Wednesday morning, but business did pick up in the afternoon and the film looked set to collect at least 15 crore all-India on Day 1. But several factors could have gone against the film – like the India vs Australia cricket match, next day (today) being a working day and the genre of the film (hardcore action), meant that the late evening and night shows at multiplexes were below the mark.
Still, the first day business is disappointing to say the least, because Boss released on a national holiday, was promoted very well, had fairly popular music and was expected to collect around 16-17 crore on its opening day.
However, the Day 1 business is about the same level as Grand Masti, which also means that the film has to sustain well today onwards. If Boss drops by 40% or more, it could struggle to put up big numbers in the long run.
boss on the way to average/above average.
This film will meet the same fate as Himmatwala and Besharam…… good start and then complete nose dive. Everyone said this film will flop but Akki fans kept barking “Make way for the Boss – Blockbuster” ( the same thing happened with OUATIMD). I have nothing against Akshay; he is a good actor and he generates good business since he does 3-4 films in a year but his choice of films is terrible. He should do more films like OMG! and Special Chabbis. I am not against masala films but they must be entertaining (like Dabangg and Chennai Express), not brainless crap. I am sure Thuppaki remake will be huge blockbuster if it is anywhere close to the Tamil version.
Lol. . .anyway boss was never the awaited movie of 2013.most awaited movies of 2013 were k3,d3,ce,outimd and to an extent yjhd and himmatwala. Outimd was spoiled by postponement for which it failed at box office. So i feel the reasons of the collection are
1.failure of s26 and outimd on box office
2.it is a pre-krrish release.
3.ppl are bored of watching akki in the same action role.
4.as akki is doing 4-5 movies per year,so ppl don’t care when akki’s movie come and go.
5.yesterday’s cricket match.
Bollywood superstars
khans & hrithik

So as per my earlier comments on different page ritesh deshmukh is bigger star than akshay grand masti opened 13 cr on 1900 screen on non holiday with many movies were released around it
Make way for the flop ha ha ha akkians save your so called superstar
Under perform should collected minimum of 20-crores, one more thing why Akki is doing so many films in year? that is the big question mark.
Such a bad film with such outdated dialogues and artificial action, what else you expect. Boss is a big flop.
disappointment…bt hope it will recover on weekends..
I have been an Akki fan for a long time but now I like SRK and Saif more. Akshay has become irritating now.
If today it goes below 10cr.. then boss to gaya.
lolll at akkians, they were barking boss will crush CE!! feel so pity for them
RIP akkians!!
Hahahaha Make way for Flop of the year Akkians think its easy to do a 33.25 crores first day. Like our SRK’s Chennai Express upp Blockbuster Express lol
Akshay is a big star with very poor choice of scripts..all his movies looks like the same..its high time for him to re think about his acting and choosing script or else ..6 flops in a row already ..and will have more
Realy it should collect more
This is wrong news. I checked in other places. The collections are 21-22 crores.
Why the f**k SRK fans are spreading negativity for Boss on every page???
pathetic akki fans were predicting boss will be blockbuster 200cr.lol it will collect less than khiladi 786.
Although, I liked the movie, but I’m hardly surprised by these numbers. When I went to watch it yesterday, even the first show tickets were available in spite of a holiday, which shows people were not too excited to see it. Akshay is a very good actor, he can play comic, serious, action characters very well. But many factors have affected his career graph like –
1. Poor selection of scripts.
2. Failure of his previous movies.
3. Over dosage of movies, he had 5 releases last year and 3 this year till now. Its hard to be excited about his films because it seems like he has a release in every 3 month.
4. Overdose of same genre. He should try something different regularly a la ‘Special 26’.
5. Repetition of his character. His performance was brilliant, but his character was pretty much similar to the one he played in ‘Khiladi 786’.
He was riding high on success in 2007, which helped him earn a ‘Superstar’ status. But, ever since the release of ‘Singh is King’, he has worked in 18 films (excluding Boss) out of which only 5 have managed to earn a ‘Hit’ status (which questions his Superstar status) mainly because of poor scripts.
‘Boss’ has lost the extended weekend advantage. Although, I’m expecting it to turn out to be a profitable movie, because from what I have heard, public is liking it and the response is better than his last unsuccessful movies. But, I hope he will not accept the poor scripts like ‘Joker’, ‘TMK’, ‘Khiladi 786’, etc., in future anymore.
I’m gonna go watch it on the weekend . .
Akki has never been a superstar
S26 was a hit and I hope this will pick up
it was one of the best movie I have seen this year. It don’t deserve such fate
so whre r u akki fans??? come out from shade.
today Akki haters will know the fact that Boss will collect 45 crore + in 5 days weekend…..
@incidine
what will be the lifetime collection of BOSS with such opening?
And RR did approx 15cr on non holiday with less number of screens ,what actually went wrong with AKSHAY……..
@everyone
i boycotted akki movies just because of his fans,even i am against akki these days(just becoz his fans dont respect srk,leave respect they abuse him so why we respect there stars although i never abuse any star)…..but i also wasnt expecting such low collections…i was expecting about 17-20cr as even Besharam did 20 cr ………..
Incidine must reply
haha..this is d difference btwn superstars nd so called superstars ..akshay cannot be called as superstar with this kindof openings..and i can bet he cant give highest grosser in yr or break opening day collection..he is in d league of ajay and ranbir..so akki fans chill cmpare with ajay or ranbir nt khans nd hrithik
