Q. What are your Box Office Predictions Of Holiday – A Soldier Never Off Duty ? Can it beat the collections Of YJHD, the highest grosser in the first week after IPL? – Chethan
A. Last year’s Post-IPL release Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani opened very well at the box office, with opening day business of around 19.5 crore. As far as the opening is concerned, Holiday is unlikely to come close, even though the film expected to release on 350-400 screens more than YJHD.
We expect Holiday to collect somewhere between 11 – 14 crore on its opening day and then pick up depending on how well the film is liked. So for Holiday to get anywhere close to the 187 crore mark of Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani or even go on to be Akshay’s biggest grosser (currently Rowdy Rathore at 133 cr), the word-of-mouth has to be tremendously positive.
Collections of Post-IPL releases in the last 3 years below. Business has increased significantly every year. To continue the trend, Holiday has to collect well in excess of 200 crore.
- Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (2013) – 187 crore (lifetime), 19.5 crore (opening day)
- Rowdy Rathore (2012) – 133 crore (lifetime), 14.93 crore (opening day)
- Ready (2011) – 122 crore (lifetime), 13.4 crore (opening day)

it’s a great thing if holiday will beat boss/ouatimd’s record where neither director nor akki could even think about YJHD while crossing is out of their capacity because akki’s range is 60-70.no doubt from the above list Ranbir Kapoor is far bigger star then both akki and sallu after KING SRK.
No never….even khans are nothing in front of ranbir forget akshay kumar
Even Salman cannot make more than 150 crores with Sonakshi with 3550 screens & 3 open weeks & Christmas new year holidays & sequel of an original blockbuster.
Yjhd has hype due to chartbuster songs,ranbir deepika jodi.
holiday 130-175cr
kick 170-240cr
bang bang 120-160cr
HNY 150-190 cr
pk 190-250 cr
I am srk fan. but kick or pk will be the highest grosser
of 2014.
if hny release eid period ,HNY have to become the
highest grosser of 2014.
SRK is the no 1 Khan forever.
SRK has more hits films than salman aamir and hrithik.
Salman and Aamir are handsome than SRK. but aamir
is short.
SRK is the 2nd richest actor in the world.salman and
aamir are far behind.
Its hard to beat Boss collection
I hv seen thuppaki 2 to 3 times movie was so good…nd same expectation would be or more than from holiday…anyway i think 13 to 14 crores would it earn at first day nd then should increase..my predictions around 125 to 135 crores lifetime collection
first of all let srk release his movie on non holiday. tab pata chalega uski aukat kya hai.most probably he will also be 70 cr hero.
@ x man
Ranbir tha to Ranbir-depika jodi bni na…ranbir tha to jodi bni…ranbir ne aala acting ki as always…
U r saying like Ranbir had no contribution to yjhd’s blockbuster success..
200cr is on.and opening day will be 18-20cr mark my words
Lol even one year back ritesh deshmukh starrer GM opened 13 cr but here people are not confident of same number either. My humble request to Akki fans please don’t comment nonsense on any khan, hritik or ranbeers article. Emraan, ajay, Arjun, saif is there for u. Wishing Akki best luck for his movie. I like Akkis acting more than salman and hritik but sad see that his fans are busy on net instead watching his movies
Opening will be 20 crores.all websites try to predict low collection.
Last yr YJHD did sum unthinkable business at da ticket window as no one expected it 2 do just kind of business nt even da makers… Yeah the songs wer chartbusters.. Storyline was gud,, Post IPL,, and RK-DP-ARK-KK crackling Chemistry but even dan doing 190 crores was just out of reach,, but it did… Wat I was more suprised was da business dat it did in da Single screens…. nw cuming 2 HOLIDAY…. yes der is a buzz 4r da movie but not 2 da level of Ready,, Rowdy,or YJHD,, cz da advance bookings are proof of it,, howevr if compared dis movie wid da last 3 yrs Post IPL Movies dan I hav a gut feeling dat dis movie wud Stand Out,, To break YJHD Ist day and Weekend collection I think it wud be touch & go,, but 2 break da total collection of YJHD,, it has 2 be a very well made Movie… Actually da People r more interested in da Movie because of AR MURGADOSS,, specially da Multiplex audience… Akshay is da biggest strength as well as da biggest weakness of da movie.. Strength in da sense cz he is a Superstar,, but weakness in da sense cz Akshay is now more of a off screen Superstar,, it might hurt Akki fans but itz nw da naked truth,,cz der is a growing perception in the market dat Akki starrer are senseless atleast 4r da last 4-5 yrs… and records speak 4r demselves,, yes he have given blockbusters like RR and Superhits in Housefull series but dey are way less dan da total movies he has done,, giving 3 hits out of 15 movies is not a sign of a Superstar…actually itz nt da movies dat wer flop itz the quality of movies dat Akki had done wich went 2 be Flop… Wich had resulted in da creation of dis perception among audience as now people think twice before watching his movies… So 4r Akki Sir Holiday is best movie 2 show da world his mantle and prove his critics wrong,, but if howevr Holiday does do well as expected dan i wud presume dat da perception has taken over the stardom of Akshay Kumar
i dont think Holiday will beat YJH coz of the name of the film,the music isn’t great as YJH and the bad promotion of the film but will debend how the word of mouth will be.
anyway can’t wait singham returns
I think holiday can’t beat jai ho
Yjhd collection is out of reach, as the buzz is missing as compare to other 3 releases, i wish the movie will cross RR and 150cr, if movie will be great than even 200cr on the cards. Hope for the best. @sss ranbir is definitely way above all especially Srk, as our king struggled to touch 120cr till ce, while Ranbir touched 150cr on non holiday. So he surely bigger than all in this circumstance. Complan still some tonic left to improve your iq level, if you missed than probably can be side effect. Understand.
@Bilal asgar
I don’t said that ranbir don’t have any cotribution in yjhd succes.
But it looks unfair if i said there is only ranbir behind the succes of yjhd.
You forgot that media promots yjhd bcoz of ranbir deepika pair.
Thanx @indicine for posting my Question
Holiday will be Akshay highest grosser mark my words
Akki don’t care about his films seriously, he himself admit it in his latest interview.
He gave 3-4, 70cr movies per year and became the highest tax payer celeb while those khans and roshans movies earn 200+ but save their black money by giving less tax .
@kingshuk- hahahahah your comment was hilarious i can’t stop laughing….i think holiday lifetime collections might cross yjhd weekend collections so akki fans will have something to celebrate…….
Target is Rawdy Rathore!! impossible for Holiday to beat YJHD!!
another flop akki sir!
there are so many films on terror nothin spl abt flopiday
@sss : Looks like you have lot of attachment towards Salman thats why unnecessarily you name him in his comments !!!!!!
All the best to Akki & his fans !!!!!! Holiday should do 120-140 cr if wom is good !!!!!!!
My prediction for Holiday :
Opening 12-16 cr
Total collection: domestic
150 Cr(if wom is excellent )
130-135cr(if wom is good)
80-110cr(if wom is average)
65-75cr(if wom is bad) .
@queenshuk You KO’d “r20” with your comment….!!!!
Even though I hate you more than ‘sss khan’ I just hate that obnoxious r20 more so I nominate you for ‘Comment Of The Day’
@sss khan Your bhojpuri mindset has you thinking (foolishly) that Ranbir is a smaller star that Sarkar but It was Ranbirs YJHD that almost joined the 200 cr club after Aamir but unfortunately it didnt have that perfect holiday release date or super hit director as Lungi Express enjoyed…! Infact Had Deepika not been the saving grace of Crappy Express then the Thakur Express train would have derailed right at the start point in Chennai never arriving at the BoxOffice window- ending up as a regional release film at best…!
@sht Dont be a hypocrite- akkis fans are not actively busy on the net like Lungiwalas are/ were…! FACT- before Lungi Express became a BoxOffice HIT, Sarkars previous films were only BlockBusters on the Youtube platform due to record number of likes/ views hence why Sarkar was known globally as Youtube King….!
Mary kom will be the biggest best film of 2014
