Top 3 Bollywood Grossers of Each Month: 2017 films, 2016 Results

We update this popular article on the Top 3 grossers of each month with films that are scheduled to release in 2017. With one month to go in 2016, we also analyse which films made it to the Top 3 and those that didn’t. Movies that have topped each month this year have been highlighted in brown colour. January: Airlift became the highest grosser of January, beating the collections of Agneepath and Jai Ho. Next year, it’ll be Ok Jaanu and the two big films SRK’s Raees and Hrithik Roshan’s Kaabil. The chances of making it to the Top 3 reduces quite considerably because of the clash, but if one film turns out to be poor and the other finds acceptance, it could top the month next year.

Force 2 flops at the domestic box office

John Abraham’s Force 2 is not holding up at the domestic box office, as the film had to show good trend on Monday and during the rest of the weekdays, to have any chance of recovering costs. When the film showed growth in business on Saturday, which isn’t usually the case with massy films like ‘Force 2’ there was hope that it would show bigger growth on Sunday and sustain well Monday onwards. That hasn’t happened.

Golmaal 4 vs Robot 2.0 during Diwali 2017

The clash between two of the biggest films of 2017 is now official. The makers of Shankar’s ambitious sci-fi film ‘Robot 2.0’ have officially announced the release date of the Rajnikanth – Akshay Kumar starrer. The film will hit theatres during the Diwali 2017 weekend. Earlier, Rohit Shetty had announced the fourth instalment in the super-popular ‘Golmaal’ series for Diwali. The film features Ajay Devgn and Parineeti Chopra in the lead.

Force 2 Box Office Collections likely to be hit by demonetisation

The cash crunch in the country is likely to impact this week’s releases – Force 2 and Tum Bin 2 – at the box office. The makers of the two films have confirmed that both films will be arriving as previously scheduled, but even if they want to move to a different date, there are no free dates in the next few weeks.

Rock On 2 Friday (Day 1) Box Office Collections

Rock On 2 had a disastrous opening day at the box office, collecting just Rs 2.02 crore on its first day at the ticket window. The collections are lower than a disaster like ‘Mirzya’ and the Farhan Akhtar film hasn’t even made it to the Top 40 list of highest opening this year.

Shivaay Total Box Office Collections and Verdict

Ajay Devgn’s Shivaay was one of the biggest releases of the year. The box office expectations from the film, soon after the release of the theatrical trailer, were immense. It was expected to get somewhere close to Ajay’s highest career grosser ‘Singham Returns’ and also maintain a comfortable lead over the other Diwali release ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’.
