Indicine Team: still waiting for your answer.. posted my question on 26.8. 10 days ago, and it’s still pending.
Some more questions: What does Rajesh Khanna do for living? Is he retired and just setting home or he got his business? Is he rich or poor? Does he have a son or only 2 girls? Did he marry after the breakup with Dimple Kapadia or stayed single till today? What’s the main reason for the breakup?
Is Rajendra kumar alive or dead? I know his son Gurav ( I’m not sure about his name) used to act and failed.. but does he have any other children who’re actors or actresses in bollywood? How did Ranejdra die and who was his wife?
hi i am PANKAJ
i am doing my college and i want to act in movies etc so can u please say me some websites or email-id where i can submit my portfolio please
indicine…. my question abt story, script, screenplay and dialogue….. did u forget???
@Indicine Team
Definitely we are intrested in music reviews. But only if it is posted within a day of its release. To be frank, i had asked for WYR’s music review. but now i’m not as interested as as earlier…. its too late now. I hope u got my point..
U said music released date of main aurr miss khanna next month but i watch tv,there was written 9th september…….&9th september is Akshay kumar birthday ,is there chance BLUE movie music will be out at same date?
Wht is process going of promotion of Blue???Is actor n director who is part of this movie have started promoting Movie Blue?There is not big buzz like the way salman khan is promoting his movie but akshay kumar is in italy doing shooting of Houseful and would he promote his movie or not???If he doesnot promote,can we guess it is very bad ??????
Indicine team:Y dont u make a modify ur site…Like Have facility to user to make their own account on this site n can comment n write their own review on this page as well as ur review…Ur site is famous but this can make ur site more famous…just saying suggestion,donot know whether u will do or not
Thanks for your reply regarding Khuda Gawaah. I thought it was a flop but what puzzles me is BOI verdicts of Khuda Gawaah. If you look at their verdicts under 1992, Khuda Gawaah was below average but if on the same site you check 1989-1999, the verdict is HIT. :))
Indicine, if my question regarding top 5 actresses in terms of NO. OF HIT movies( 1980-1995) is too lengthy, could you please tell me the the NO.1 actress only in terms of NO. OF HIT movies? I want it based only on No. of HITS, how big or how small hit is NOT to be considered.
Thanks.
We’ll get back to you on this. If its in recent years (current generation), going purely by success ratio, its Aishwarya Rai.
The most popular (and also with the most hits) could be Madhuri Dixit. She ruled Bollywood like no other actress did before or after
Indicine Team: thanks for yr reply.. but can u reply about Rajendra kumar please?
Kumar Gaurav was a sensation when his first movie titled Love Story released in 1980. His popularity was close to Hrithik’s after Kaho Na Pyaar Hai. But unfortunately, none of his movies after that worked at the box office.
Hrithik was called the Kumar Guarav of Bollywood till Koi Mil Gaya released, and the rest as they say, is history :)
indicine… this bobby deol had short hair in chamku and now in vaada raha he is having long hair… is he using duplicate hair or is it his original long hair…
1. I would also like to know what the final box office verdict for Kaminey is?
2. Priyanka Chopra won 3 Lions Gold awards. One for Krrish, one for Fashion, but what’s the third one for?
3. What happened to the Zee Cine awards this year????
4. Who do you think is the #1 actor and actress right now?
Thank you!
Can u tell me About ASIN?What r her project apart from london dreams? She is mine fav.actress…I have watch some of her movies of south…She was good…..I have really big expectation frm her from london dreams too?Can she be the first actress to give back to back hit in first 2 movie???????
Dear Indicine Team
I am in a confusion, I want to know how the film declared hit or flop, is it based on films budget or distributor price on which he bought the film.
For example producer made a film for 50 crore he sold it to the distributors for 45 crore, music rights for 10 crore and satellite rights for 5 crore so its mean he earns a handsome profit of 10 crore irrespective of the film result hit or flop.
Is it like that or the producers have some % share with distributors that if film works he will get certain % or if its flop producer return some money to distributors.
Now a days big companies out right bought films for huge amounts so what happened if film become huge hit than how producer get his share from those big companies and also how producer get benefited from overseas business.
I might not be able to completely describe my question but i hope you understand what i want to know. Please answer in detail.
Thank You

Dear Indicine Team,
I think you didn’t read my question completely and just given me the link to read which didn’t satisfied my query. You completely missed the part of film buying and overseas business.
One observation i noticed after analyzing your site from last two months that it’s a hrithik rosahn fan site. You people extremely biased towards hrithik. If some user try to say some negative thinks about hrithik, you people quickly response and defend hrithik. I am realy surprised to read your views about the awards gotten by hrithik for dhoom 2, kaho na pyar hai & Jodha Akbar were truely deserving but on the other hand you say Shahrukh don’t deserve for devdas and so many other films. what a big contradiction.
I am just giving you one example about those all utter rubbish Indian awrds that how they favor Hrithik Roshan.
Dhoom 2 Biggest Hit of 2006 and hrithik gotten all best actor awards for it may be 1 awards for krrish too. but point is where are his acting skills in those 2 highly technological films.
Ghajini Biggest block buster of Indian film history and AAmir Khan din’t get any award for it and he deliverd one of his best performance in this film if you believe in acting through expressions.
In 2006, Hrithik won just one best actor award for Dhoom 2 (Filmfare). All other awards were for Krrish. Now talking about technology, two thirds of Krrish was basically a love story.. the rest was a super hero flick.. There is a lot to Hrithik’s performance in Krrish, he portrayed 4 different characters – one as Krrish, one as old Rohit and other as the old Rohit.. not to forget the character of Krishna in the first half. Krrish wasn’t a great film, but Hrithik’s performance was by far the most superior, much better than Dhoom 2, which was all style and glamour.
Aamir Khan in RDB in the same year, was more of a supporting role. Even the climax belonged to Siddarth.
Ghajini last year, cannot come close to Jodha Akbar.. no point in calling us biased.. Hrithik won every single audience poll too including the one on this site. http://www.indicine.com/movies/bollywood/vote-best-actor-2008/
right now who is top actor of bollywood?
indicine…. story, script, screenplay and dialogue………………………………
IN overseas,Action film has not done tht good like Lovestory or comedy movie.What is the reason for this? then it might be Dil bole hadippa has bigger chance than WANTED for making more money?
In India, Wanted is expected to do better.
when kites will be released ??
I’m die hard fans of hrithik roshan from Indonesia…and a lot of hrithik’s fans here waitiing for that………….**really crazy for that**
thanx indicine^^
Plz put the Lyrics of Sung Blue theme of Movie Blue?i donot get anything from sung……and if u can put review of music of blue …it will be great
Dear Indicine team,
Thanks for the quick response.
But on thing of mine is proved that again you defended hrithik very well. whatever you write about krrish but fact is fact that it’s a superhero film like spider man or super man mainly for children and only you people can defend that hrithik deserve the award for super hero flick. just give me one example from the world other than india where superhero got best actor award. I didn’t write that Aamir khan deserve award in 2006 for RDB, you assumed it. The true deserve that year in my opinion was sanjay dutt for lage raho munna bhai.
I dont believe in your polls because i have firm believe that wherever hrithik present you will manipulate the data. Only in your site hrithik roshan is at top for best actor all other sites showing aamir khan at top for best actor award and shahrukh at no.2.
But still I like your site because we can interact with you and you response to our queries very well and also your reviews for the films are mostly brilliant except hrithik films where you become little biased.
Thank You
Now, we do not manipulate any data, nor are we fans of any stars. And no user can vote twice either, the system is fool-proof.
The reason I assumed your an Aamir fan is because you mentioned Ghajini deserved awards last year. Anyway, regarding Hrithik, as mentioned above it wasn’t entirely a superhero film and compared to other performances that year, his was arguably the better performance. Not Dhoom 2, but Krrish. Go through the critics reviews of the movie and almost all of them believed the only saving grace of the movie was Hrithik. Could any other actor have carried that role that year? If the lead characters performance was below par the movie would have fallen flat and wouldn’t have come close to grossing 100 crores+ worldwide! Dont’ you agree?
Sanjay Dutt well, he was good.. but nothing extra-ordinary, its a character that comes very naturally to him. Boman Irani -Arshad Warsi, in MBBS and Arshad Warsi in Lage Raho clearly outshined him. But agreed he was damn good. Ideally he should have won in 2003, but KMG was a far superior performance that year and if not for Hrithik, SRK would have won for Kal Ho Na Ho. Lesser stars, in Bollywood, unfortunately dont win any awards, atleast not the popular ones.
Have a good day.
Do you know what the budget for What’s Your Raashee? is? Thank you!
indicine team,
further to halakoos questions, i too would like to know how the figures are calculated. does the producer sell the films rights at a profit, and not bothered about the outcome of the film, or is there a distributor / producer profit/loss sharing deal somewhere ? how do the music rights, tv / satellite/dvd rights work ? how much revenue in percentage does the producer recieve ?
if it was a question of just selling the rights, then the producer can make big money regardless of the fate of the film. just have a popular actor, named director, and sell the rights at a high price, even if the film is a flop after release.
For now, regarding how we calculate the figures.. We receive spreadsheets with numbers (collections) from all over India (circuit-wise, city wise which includes collections in each theatre for each show), at the end of the week. So our figures are very accurate. Mid-week numbers are just an estimate and aren’t 100% accurate. Some of the screenshots of the spreadsheets we receive are listed below. Will give you a better idea :) Let us know what you think.
