Besharam has collected around 20 crore on its opening day at the domestic box office, which is about 20% below what most in the trade expected the film to collect.
With the craze for Ranbir Kapoor at the all time high after the success of Barfi and Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, major holiday release, second widest release ever for a Hindi film (3550 screens) and with Abhinav Kashyap the director of Dabangg at the helm – Besharam was expected to collect around 25-26 crores on its opening day.
The film started well in the morning and continued to do well for the most part of the day, but as word began to spread that the content of the film wasn’t upto the mark, the night shows dropped.
For most films, a slight drop in business for the night / late night shows is normal when the following day is a working day. But with all the negativity surrounding the film, it might well be a sign of heavy drops in the next few days.
Besharam Opening Day Collections – 20 crore
@rajesh i agree with you that media played big role to hype ranbir and they declared him superstar too early, but you are wrong in one way as ranbir don’t know acting dear he is a good and versatile actor, might be you don’t like him, i am also not his fan, but knows he is very good actor, so if once you watch his movies particularly his acting you will come to no that he is better actor than you think.
@sahir i don’t think what uk govt think and what is their policy so they doing their duty, its ok and i don’t care as we indian want movie which match up our sensibilities not abroad audience, and i think even srk was stopped by security of usa for hours when he was doing shoot for mnik, and srk movies collecting so many dollars there so can u tell me why those security officials unknown from srk popularity so your commen was useless that’s y i didn’t reply that time.
And one more thing salman is not theatre artist or michael jackson who can entertain live audiencesg, the basic work of salman is to entertain audience with his movies if he did so our motive fulfilled that so doesn’t care what he did with his stage shows, i also agree he disappoint me with movies like dabangg2 & bodyguard but i hope he will provide better content in his upcoming movies.
sumeet .. when SRK was doing different genre movies .. your’l wanted entertainment & masala ! when he was winning awards .. your’l wanted huge box office collections !
so SRK made Chennai Express & in just one masala movie & fucked up everyone breaking every existing record ! that says it all *in your face* ;)
& if you think SRK’s recent movies like My Name Is Khan, Swades, Paheli, RNBJ, OSO, Chak De ! KANK even Don 2weren’t good content wise ! well I pity you !
Those who are saying Ranbir is just 6 years old in industry ,why you forget the fact Salman delivered his first BB right from start of his career, he delivered his first ATBB 1n 1994 within 5 years of his years,at time of DLDJ srk was only 4 years old,so these are rubbish exuses that he is new in industry…………..Love Ranbir but accept it to attain yhe status of SRK and SALMAN you have to be like SRK and salman whom people love irrespective of their movies content(although their fans hate eachother but both has massive fan following).
and this movie will break Chennai Express and ETT oppening day? Oooo pls….what a joke
Good movie
fake actors like RK wont survive in Bollywood forever, today or tomorrow people will throw him out of the industry. To me RK gets big films not by his talent (if he has any) but because of his parents.
