Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Fan, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo: Which film will be highest grosser?

Question: According to you which movie will be the highest grosser of 2015 -  Fan, Bajrangi Bhaijaan or Prem Ratan Dhan Payo?

Answer: It would be impossible to pick one film at the moment, without watching the trailer. But based on what we know about each of the three films and their respective release periods, here’s our pick for the highest grosser of 2015.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan is a commercial film with the best possible release period in the industry. In the last three years, the collections of Eid releases are; Ek Tha Tiger (199 cr), Chennai Express (227 cr) and Kick (233 cr). Average for the last three years is Rs 220 crore per film, which is the highest even when compared to Christmas or Diwali weekends.

Our second pick would be Fan, simply because it has the potential to be a great film. Also, it has 2 holidays in its first weekend, which will boost the business on Friday night too. The 3-day business could cross 100 crore if the word-of-mouth is good and the film holds universal appeal. Single-screen business is also important if records are to be broken, you can’t make a film like Don 2 or Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and except a record grosser.

As for Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, it could go either way. Family audience will come out to watch the film in big numbers, but the youth might want to give this a skip. Too early to predict though. If the trailer has enough appeal towards the youth and the film is received well, who knows.. it could even be the biggest grosser of 2015!

  • prem ratan will b a real shocker for u indicine i bet 300cr of prdp
    bhaijaan vl b a feel gud entertainr so 255
    fan appears to b anther cheap comedy
    belw 100

  • At best Fan can do 150 it will an avg/mediocre film dont expect table fan to collect more prdp
    1.prdp
    2.bb
    3.at present any 1

  • Is it a question worth to be asked?
    Of course, Bajrangi Bhaijaan & PRDP followed by Table Fan. No big director, no big actress, no eid diwali Xmas release & no good supporting casts. Remake of Kunal Khemu’s Superstar, Releasing after brothers! Max 180 Crores

  • mark my words brothers will be the highest grosser karan johar+youth icon and ladies charma sid+akki will create damaka.these filmwill effect both of them the look of sid malhotra is brilliant.

  • i think, it will be bajrangi bhaijaan then comes prem ratan dhan payo and finally fan. because fan, will be a bit in non-commercial side.

  • PRDP will repeat history like HAHK did in 1994

    SALMAN and Sooraj Barjatya combo sure shot All Time Blockbuster…

    Top grossers of 2015 will be

    1} PRDP
    2} Bajrangi Bhaijaan

  • Either Bajrangi Bhaijan or Fan will be the biggest grosser of 2015 but Fan is looking great & promising . Prem Ratan Dhan Payo has also chance to be at no.3/4

  • fan will be as like as billu. it will be as a real life story of srk and a fan. but this type story does not work in india. bazrangi vaijan and prdp will be better commercial success but fan will be cretically aclaimed.

  • u dnt have any idea to what PRDP can b….

    1.iconic prem is back vd SK’s double role
    2.sooraj sir n sk’s combo
    3.movies of dis genere r not made n evry1 is craving fr sch cinema
    4.dere wud b hardly any guy/gal whu dsnt lv HAHK evn nw n wud lv to watch it.(takng abt youth)
    5.deres action too in d mvy fr actn lvng youth
    6.it is a family drama but cmpltly diff from its predecesors
    7.release time …d run time n period is d bst vd around 8-10 holidays
    8.HAHK ws d fst mvy to cross 100 cr wrldwide ..dr4 global appeal..
    9.world tour is being planned
    10.3 mnths advnc bookng as per rumours

    so fr me PRDP > BB > Fan…cz fan dsnt seem to hv commercial appeal vd no lead heroin..no doubt vl b lvd by critics n srk may take all d awrds too…rest let trailers come…!!!!

  • @anandi_original,why r u comparing superstar with FAN?I know you’ll compare,but you know is biggest superstar that is one and only KING SRK not after 2010 or before 2010/90,HE is BEST OF ALL TIME.no south remake/no dhoom brand.Sally will chase CE’S lifetime record for next 4 years.wait for KING+ROHIT dhamaka that will surely break d3.still as a biggest superstar country HE pulled audience in a huge by giving collection of 45cr,that much is enough to say HE is bigger superstar than salman.who knows FAN will beat bb may be due to it’s content.so don’t be overestimate and prdp will not be in top3 even,mark my word.

  • i think it will be fan as ppl r tired of watching same nd same masala films. dey want smthng new nd promising so fan shud be no.1 film…

    as for prdp i cnt say anything d film cn become.huge grosser bt no.1 movie i dont think so…

    bajrangi will b d same film of salman khan same 1000 ppl same hero same sajid wajid pakau music nd same popat making film dis film will once again make popat of d audience nd collect huge money

  • I can’t really call Don 2 a great movie. When Farhan Akhtar is directing a movie, I have very high expectations.

    Yes, Don 2 was fun. But it was nothing more than Indianised version of Micheal Bay. Unfortunately though, it was limited to fun. Nothing more than that. After seeing movies like Prestige and Dark Knight, it disappoints me big time that a director as talented as Farhan Akhtar agreed to direct a half baked script.

    Don2 worked only because of SRK and Farhan Akhtar’s fantastic combination + exotic locations and action sequences, but it was a forgettable movie.

    Agreed with ZNMD. It was quite a niche film.

    Biggest hit of 2015 – I can’t really decide. PRDP is a movie which can become ATBB or even sink without a trace. If word of mouth clicks right, even Fan can garner big numbers. BB is the most expected answer as of now. But 2015 will miss Hrithik and Aamir.

    Next year, acclaimed hits >> star-studded blockbusters.

  • @sss, yes Salman has 4bb nd 1superhit(wanted) on eid. But don’t forget salman made eid is one of the biggest festive season. Earlier everyone even feared to release their movies on eid. Salman changed the trend.

    Without deewali how many hits ur king has? Since last 5years ur king does nt hav a single holyday release. Without deewali/holidays and yashraj/dharma ur king’s track record is worse than tushar kapur/ fardeen khan.

    @yy mithaiwala, fully agreed with u.

  • @Zeeshan : Just for your info Bajrangi Bhaijaan is not a full fledge action or Masala movie. It is based on inter caste relationships n love. So Salman will score a bigger grosser out of his comfort zone according to your own words !!!!!!!!!!!

  • @sss : Just to remind you Ready n Dabangg2 was a non Eid releases n both became Blockbusters without Eid. Hence your theory proves wrong. btw I am waiting for FAN too, excited to see Srk in performance oriented role after 2 Masala movies n long time. His last good performance was MNIK !!!!!!!!!!

  • @hrithik,oh come on dude let’s at least accept bb will be same kind of masala movie with same kind lol music of sajid-wajid/times.whatever will salman try the result will be same as ready/bodyguard type movie which is still with in his comfort zone.little out of comfort zone like jai ho still it is a masla movie but failed only because release with in eid.that doesn’t mean I am blaming him but giving movie of different genre movie only can be done by either KING KHANor amir khan not salman because THE GOD didn’t given this quality to salman.still be happy with your blockbuster films.

    another thing is dabang2 released during christmas release which got positive wom and only worked due to ett.the same but opposite happened with KING KHAN happened when DON2 got highly negative wom due to RA ONE.but ready is an anees bazmu film as well it teased on post IPL holiday release dude,be right in your facts.

    I respect you @hrithik a lot so as don’t want to fight again with any fans at least peopleime @tiger.so @tiger,1st give correct information,wanted is just a hit not super hit.it’s not salman who changed the trend it’s south remake who changed salman’s career.get your facts right dude.BTW KING KHAN’S MNIK is a normal February release and it got HIT status.but with out south remake/masala genre salman is also like tushar/fardeen so no need to say that,lol.

  • @hrithik,think a while what you said about RA ONE/HNY is average up to some extent I also agreed but at the same time you guys let down BEST FILMS like DON2/JTHJ which are best in THEIR genre ACTION/ROMANCE only because THEY collected less?look at films like bodyguard/dabang2,is those movies are so good?comparing to RA ONE/HNY those films are worst of all time.whether in terms of story/action/cinematography /ROMANCE.at least ask your heart being a cinema lover not to be a fan of someone.if you can let down such good films then you don’t deserve to say HNY is not good,because WE aacceped that in bg/dabang2.is a good movie’s quality measured measured by it’s blockbuster verdict?if so,then really I don’t want such blockbusters.I know in terms of quality non of a KING KHAN film can be compared to salman films whether in story/visualisation,still I did that only to make you think a when what You are doing is so correct?If so then only WE hold the rights to blame others.that’s all.

    @tiger,whather it’s you it’s me all of us know KING KHAN/ salman khan couldn’t be compared to tushar/fardeen.so it’s better to don’t crack such jokes.but still you need to respect other star HITS.because sometimes even it is too difficult to get a HIT status also.salman remained that phase over a decade before 2010 and now also with jai ho.KING KHAN also tried one EID and got one ATBB ,whatever that no matters.at least try to accept the reason behind your star’s success and I also accept RA ONE and HNY becomes HIT/SUPER HIT due to DEEWALI.5 blockbusters/11 CONSISTENT HITS /highest grosser/MAXIMUM HITS couldn’t decide the stardom it’s the WHOLE CAREER containing each decade and the gap between each hit containing each years which decides WHO is the biggest star,that’s all.

  • @sss : You started again ??? I didnt a anything about Don2 & JTHJ but only Srk performance. Seriously, ask any true Srk fan whether these movies among his best work. Before Wanted Billu, Paheli, Swades released which are all south Remakes (unofficial) why it didnt change the trend ?? Was Srk power was not enough ? He stopped Remakes bcoz he failed miserably in that. About BB, how did you know so much about the movie before its poster or trailer release ? About movie theme (which I told you) Director Kabir Khan himself claimed it is not full fledge masala or action movie. So neither you nor me are more knowledgable about movie than director. Stop this bias, I have nothing against Srk but you are talking like Salman is nothing in industry. Srk claimed on CNWK that Salman was the only person who told him that DDLJ will be bigger than MPK after its premiere show. Even Srk was not confident about it n you are spouting hatred about such a person !!!!!!!!!!!
