Highlights of Bollywood 2015:
Highest Opening Day: Salman Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan holds the record for the highest opening day collections of 2015 (27.25 cr). No other film has come close to challenging the first day total set by the film. Salman’s Prem Ratan Dhan Payo is almost certain to beat that total when it releases on the Diwali holiday later this year. It’ll be interesting to see if Shah Rukh Khan’s Dilwale beats the 27.25 cr figure to take the highest opening non-holiday for 2015. It’ll be difficult because ‘Bajirao Mastani’ is releasing on the same day, which also happens to be a working day.
Highest Opening Weekend: Salman’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan also holds the record for the highest first week this year. The film collected Rs 102.6 crore in its first 3 days. PRDP has more than a good chance of surpassing this figure, even though Sunday doesn’t come in the first 3 days (PRDP releases on Thursday, 12th November). The only other non-Salman film that has a chance is SRK’s Dilwale.
Highest First Week: It’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan again. The film collected Rs 184.65 cr in its first week. The outstanding word-of-mouth helped big time. Both PRDP and Dilwale will have to carry similar reports to challenge the first week total of the Kabir Khan directed film.
Highest Grosser: Will Bajrangi Bhaijaan (Rs 321 crore) remain the biggest grosser of 2015? Or will the two other obvious choices go on be the highest grosser of 2015. That’s the big question as we head towards two of the most important months of the year – with two major weekends in Diwali and Christmas.

Other stars struggling fr Hits while SALMAN constantly gave BlockBuster :)
With prdp new record will be added and Salman will increase more gap between him and other in top position as him and Aamir has small Gap after prdp Salman will go way ahead
Wat are ff7 bahubali avengers doing in this list? And welcome back has been declared
Semi hit to hit by everyone including boi
twmr is all time blockbuster and not just blockbuster
I hope Dilwale performs well. It should open very well because not only does it have SRK, but it also has Kajol and Varun Dhawan. Added advantage is Rohit Shetty as director.
The clash is very similar to SOS vs JTHJ.. but the big difference here is.. not only is the star cast and director in favour of Dilwale but even the genre is in its favour.
JTHJ won the clash even though it didn’t belong to popular genre. For Dilwale sky will be the limit. But records will be difficult because of lesser shows at multiplexes.
lets see weather the so called rumored king of bollywood breaks PK’s non holiday opening record on christmas release ‘Chaiwaale!” :-(
Biggest blockbuster #DILWALE is cominggggg
Lol in the entire article .. just found Salman Khan..bajrangi bhaijaan.. prdp nd srk’s dilwale here nd there… Prdp has all the potential to break all the records..opening day.. opening weekend.. first week… Nd all time… While it is foolish to expect the same for dilwale.. due to clash… Nd releasing on a working day…
1 more HGOTY for salman… extending his lead ..
disappointing year in terms of quality of films…..
no film which had great comedy…
too many average stuff….
songs this yr disapponited big time….
BAAHUBALI… BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN .. BABY r stand out films….
south films made market fr them selves in north too…
WAITING FOR PRDP AND BAJIRAO MASTANI…
good article but where is Tamasha music review..????
Year will finish and everything will belong to Bajrangi Bhaijaan…..if dilwale would have released solo then things would have changed…but cause of BM dilwale will loose some crores…..
Don’t know why people talk about dilwale to break record? From the last 7-8 years, no SRK movie has become highest grosser of the year. SRK is past now, but still people think his movies will break records.
at start of yr evry 1 expected akshay to hav 4 hits….
bt he has only 1 hit .. 1 semi hit.. 1 above average and a flop…
srk vs all result u should topics on this.
1. Ram Jaane Vs Akele Hum Akele Tum (1995)
result ramjaane 9 cr (Hit) & Akele Hum Akele Tum 7cr (flop)
2. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai v/s Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (1998)
result Kuch Kuch Hota Hai 47 cr (ATBB) & Bade Miyan Chote Miyan 19cr (HIT)

Chennai Express (atbb) & ouatm(flop)
Prdp 1st day – 46+ cr highest ever
Weekend – 115 cr highest ever
1st week – 225 cr highest ever
2nd week – 100 cr highest ever
Lifetime – 375+ cr highest ever
Decade blockbuster….
Prem Salman rocks payo….
Bajirao mastani and dilwale should avoid this clash …
Even bb n bahubali doesnt affect each other….both were atbb….
This is best example for both film….
Still I believe bajirao mastani will cross 150 cr despite clash…
Dilwale will cross max 190 cr….
Waiting for bajirao mastani first…
Salman no 1 last 5 years or more
Super star ? extraordinaire.
LETS SEE DILWALE OPENING…..
SALMAN NON HOLYDAY PRE EID 28 CR
Prdp will be d highest grossing movie of 2k15…
1) SALMAN
2) SALMAN
3) REST OF BOLLYWOOD
My predictions for upcoming movies:-
Shaandaar – 87crs.
PRDP- 280 crs.
Tamasha- 92 crs.
Hate story 3 – 48 crs.
Bajirao Mastani- 100crs.
Dilwale- 217 crs.
Let’s wait n watch!!
bajirao magnum looks really cooled down srk fans….
hasnt seen much comments lk …
dilwale 600 cr.. 800cr etc…
as usually they will keep saying dilwale will crash bajirao n all bt its nt fault of bhansali… if he is brave enough to release his dream project against srk… why shld srk fans frustrate.. they hav varun kajol kriti n promotios,.,
LETS SEE WAT HAPPENS…
if dilwale turns out as average film,,. collections will surprise u for sure,..
Top 5 list of biggest blockbuster of the year…
1- PRDP = 405cr lifetime HISTORY
2- Bajrangi = 321cr
3- DILWALE = 225cr without clash
4- TWMR/ BAJIRAO/ TAMASHA
5- TWMR/ BAJIRAO/ TAMASHA
I’m telling u opening of bm n dilwale
Dilwale will get – 2800 screen
Bm will get – 2400 screen
Non holiday release
Dilwale 1st day – 18 cr
Bm 1st day – 14 cr
I think result will come around my prediction…
All eyes are on PRDP now, if it can meet the sky high expectations and if it is universally accepted with a +ve wom then it should cross 350+ crores and probably even 375 crores , it is an another potential 700 crore worldwide grosser and hopefully an another ATBB for the mega star to make it 2 out of 2 ATBBs for him this year and if it happens then he would become the 1st & only actor to give more than 1 ATBB in a single year!
I am not expecting much from ‘overacting karne wale’ though it would be in top 3 or 4th position this year , BM may surprise us and should give a tough competition to ‘C-grade bhojpuri wale’ , shandaar & tamasha would do well especially the latter but again it wouldn’t be as big a hit as YJHD.

Only PRDP have all potential to break each and every records of HINDI FILMS INDUSTRY.
Prediction for lifetime collection of prdp..
1st day – 47cr+ but expect 50cr+
1st weekend – 160cr in 4days
1st week – 260cr in 8days
2nd week – 110cr in 15days
Rest of weeks – 60cr+
Lifetime = 405cr for PRDP history
And for last big releases
Bajirao – 150cr lifetime
Dilwale – 225cr not more than this in lifetime
Tamasha. – not more than 150cr lifetime
so as usual Salman is ruling this year too Just can,t wait for PRDP pk record is in danger
I didn’t understand the relevance of this article at this stage !!
I mean movies like “Prem ko doobne se bachao”, Tamasha and Dilwale are yet to release and with their release, the above stats will change significantly.
@Shoe-chit 09:55 am : was there any mention of Amir in this article? Or did any SRK fan spoke bad about him? Why are you showing your insecurity then? You are Amir fan, really?
@Sky and other genuine fans of Amir : I never had anything for Amir. In past also, if I bashed him (rarely), that’s because of his fans. But now, its going in some other direction. Without any reason, Amir fans are bashing SRK in every article. I have been observing this since a long time. This is my last request, please stop all the nonsense. If SRK fans talk bad about Amir and you are replying them, then I don’t have any issue. But if someone is bashing SRK from the front without any reason, then I’m not going to keep quiet. And trust me, that will be very ugly. Ask ‘Ajay sucks’ if you don’t believe. I’m quoting you because I found you genuine who supports his idol’s work instead of getting into some fake salmir agenda.
@Poor logic 09:57 am : Perfect, but keep these factors into your mind once Dilwale releases into theatres. Don’t show your double standard then.
@sultan Bhushan 10:17 am : No SRK fan is frustrated and yeah, I can assure you that Dilwale will crush Bhajipao easily, how much ever grand it is. But yeah, you are Right when you talk about lifetime collection. Lifetime of Dilwale will be affected a bit because of Bhajipao and also it would depend upon the content and wom. But Dilwale will be a clear winner.
Proud of being a bhai fan. Now waiting for PRDP. It will surely smash multistarrer crappy new year’s fake owning record as well without manipulations. And than highest opening day, opening weekend, opening week all these records will belong to one and only Salman bhai. I dare all those jealous retards especially @sss and @iamAKN to call Salman recordsless khan after the release of PRDP as they will have no place to hide after that. But I am worrying that will lungiwaala come even close to kick’s non holiday opening with “over torture Waale”? As srk will finally release his movie on non holiday after JTHJ. Too much excited.
@Gareeb wale fan 10:18 am : Hahaha, 405 CR? Are you sure? And then criminal fans claim that SRK fans exaggerate the collections. Now what was that?
@Shaggy 10:19 am : Wrong predictions.
