Q. Indicine, I have asked you several questions but you have not answered yet. I hope you answer my question this time.
My question is Bajrangi Bhaijaan or SRK-Rohit Shetty next which has got a better release date and which is more likely to be this year’s biggest grosser? – Pratyush
A. The film that’s liked better by the audience, will be the 2015’s highest grosser at the box office. Box office is unpredictable – Prem Ratan Dhan Payo or any other big film like Fan, Jagga Jasoos, Brothers etc have a chance too.
Q. Can Rohit Shetty’s next with Shahrukh Khan beat the opening day record of Happy New Year? – Pranjal Dasgupta
A. The holiday for Christmas falls on Friday. So if Rohit Shetty releases his film on 25th December, it should beat the record of Happy New Year or any other film that holds the record at that point in time. In the last couple of years, Aamir Khan has released his films a week before Christmas, giving it 3-4 open weeks at the box office. But to release the film so early, the makers have to be confident of the content too. If content falls flat, it’ll be dull Christmas / New Year weekend.
Q. A film like Grand masti entered into the prestigious 100 cr club, but why doesn’t a acclaimed film like Baby? – Amlan Kumar
A. 100 crore club is not a quality certificate nor is it prestigious anymore. Films that sell sex usually do well at the box office, ‘The Dirty Picture’, ‘Murder 2’, ‘Ragini MMS 2’, ‘Grand Masti’ and several others films have done well because of a combination of star cast, sex, thrill or comedy. Baby was a song-less thriller with limited appeal. In fact, Baby wasn’t even given a good single-screen release as there is no market for such films in smaller centres. Having said that, Baby should have collected more than it did. The opening was too low for a film made on a budget of Rs 73 crore.

@sss : take this on your face about Swades :
Many film critics familiar with South Indian
cinema wrote that Swades is a remake of the
Kannada film Chigurida Kanasu, based on a
novel of the same name by K. Shivaram Karanth,
a playwright and Jnanpith Award recipient.
