Box office: Ajay Devgn without Rohit Shetty

A couple of days back, a forum member of Indicine, published a post on the box office performance of Ajay Devgn films without director Rohit Shetty in the last 5 years.

Rohit has directed Ajay in 5 films in the last 5 years and all of them have been successful at the box office – Golmaal, Golmaal Returns, Golmaal 3, All The Best, Singham and Bol Bachchan. Only one film, Sunday, was an average grosser.

Without Shetty at the helm, Ajay’s success ratio is poor. Have a look.

• Cash (2007) – 18.33 crs FLOP
• Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag (2007) – 8.5 crs FLOP
• Halla Bol (2008) – 14.61 crs FLOP
• U Me Aur Hum (2008) – 22.69 crs BELOW AVERAGE
• Mehbooba (2008) – 2.48 crs FLOP
• London Dreams (2009) – 25.77 crs FLOP
• Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge (2010) – 29.14 crs AVERAGE
• Raajneeti (2010) – 92.93 crs BLOCKBUSTER [Multistarrer Movie]
• Once Upon A Time In Mumbai(2010)-58.3crs HIT (also featured Emraan Hashmi)
• Aakrosh (2010) – 13.63 crs FLOP
• Dil Toh Bachcha Hai Ji (2011) – 28.47 crs BELOW AVERAGE

• Tezz (2012) – 15.72 crs DISASTER

With less than 10 days to go for his ambitious Diwali release Son Of Sardaar, the big question in the trade – can Ajay Devgn deliver without Rohit Shetty?
