AskIndicine: Live Question and Answer Session at 3PM

It’s that time of the year when one big film has just released in theatres and has performed reasonably well at the box office. The industry now has high expectations from the remaining 4 major releases this year – Tamasha, Hate Story 3, Bajirao Mastani and of course, the biggest of them all, Shah Rukh Khan’s Dilwale.

Year 2016 is shaping up to be one of the biggest years for the industry too. All the holiday weekends have been blocked by big releases and except Aamir Khan’s Dangal, it’s going to be a year of clashes.

Back to the topic, post your questions in the comments section below, as the popular Live Question and Answer session begins tomorrow at 3PM.

Do note that we cannot answer all questions that are posted. Thank you.

3 questions will be answered on each page, check out the links below:

Part 1: Why is an ensemble cast viewed negatively?

Part 2: Audience and trade response to trailer of Dilwale?

Part 3: Will Ghayal Once Again affect Airlift at the box office?

    the reasons prdp becomes underperformed is 1st screenplay,
    prdp screenplay is boring and lack of entertainment,many of my friends
    left theatre in interval,young people reject this fllim.being a salman fan even i dont love prdp,i must say prdp is not even 20% good of bajragi bhaijan, this is the weak screenplay if we see sooraj salman’s previous movies..

    weak supporting casts is another reason.prdp has very weak supporting casts compare to sooraj salman’previous movies,lead actor sonam kapoor neither she is a good actress nor she is beautiful.anupam kher and deepak dobriyal are good but they didnot get enouph to do.

    weak direction is the another reason.director sooraj totally fail here to create the magic what he did in his previous movies.direction level comes close to shirish kundar.

    too many songs in the movie.songs are not good.only 3 songs i found good to average.prem leela,aaj unse milna hai and the title track

    boxoffice: prdp did excellent in 1st 3 days..and extended weekend(4days) then it got good drop due to weak content.yes expectation was huge from prdp but due to weak content it failed. still its trending like Kick.the way its going it will finished its bussines between 215-225 cr in domestic , 100+ on overseas and 400+cr worldwide

  • What is the barometer for being the biggest star , fan following or box office numbers? Is aamir a lesser star bcz when it comes to creating records aamir beats both salman & srk hands down. Why aamir khan films dont need publicity ? Is he such a credible name?

  • How do you rate fan and raees teaser? can Fan do 200cr business if content is good in non festive realese? please tell

  • Can u give us a ball park number on your take on number of screens to be shared between sultaan and Raes in India if they both releasing on eid 2016. I know its difficult to say now, but a number according to you with may be 50% accuracy.

  • I have read In one of your articles that last year Bollywood all releases combined revenue collection was close to 2900 crore
    Can u tell us distribution in terms of prodiction houses and actors?

  • Can bajirao Mastani Has Potential To Take 15 cr opening after awesome Trailer ? Can Dilwale Take more than Double -Opening Taken by Bajirao mastani ?

  • Films like Ra.one,Talaash & Jaiho made huge losses for distributors still why Ra.one is hit & Talash,Jaiho were semihit?

  • if prem ratan dhan payo crosses 200 crores
    then what will be its verdict?
    as happy new year’s budget was more than 130 crores and its domestic gross was 203-204 crores and it was declared super hit.
    prem ratan dhan payo’s budget isnt more than 100 crores and it has already crossed 180 crores in 10 days including second saturday!

  • Bajirao mastani trailer looks promising. Also rich on star cast. But clash with dilwale, songs been not as popular as Ram Leel or Devdas, dark visual effects, not the widest of releases, do you think even good WOM can save such a high budget movie? Also they are going all out for marketing, making it a more costly venture. Are the makers doing the smart things with the venture? (To me it looks like a well made but unwisely releasing movie). What is your take on this?

  • Bajirao Mastani looks grand than expected. But dont you think that fight scenes and graphics would be compared with Bahubali and that can cause a negative impact which happened to Puli.
    Also if BM is liked much more than Dilwale, do you think BM can cross Dilwale collection at any case.
