Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam releases in theatres today (previews shows at multiplexes) and the film isn’t carrying much buzz, apart from the pre-release reports which are terrific.
The film will rely on word-of-mouth publicity to recover costs and the growth in business on Saturday and Sunday will be important for the Nishikant Kamat directed remake. Even though the clash between Drishyam and Bangistaan has been averted, the Ajay Devgn film will be competing against Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
The Salman Khan starrer will provide tough competition, due to the fact that it’s carrying excellent word-of-mouth. In fact, the trade expects the 3rd Friday collections of the film to be about the same level as the opening day of ‘Drishyam’
As part of our #IndicineFBO (First Day Predictions), we expect Drishyam to collect Rs 5.25 crore on Day 1.

koyla’s maximum films couldn’t recover it’s costs.still don’t know why these most disaster giving wannabe actor is still existed in Bollywood with out any reason,ROFL.similarly after hat akki’s dilm comes though he can be forgiven as he does 4-6 films per year so respect for self made superstar akshay Kumar.
Another such actor salu whose 34-37 films couldn’t recover it’s budget costs now some how manage to get hits due to south remake and child artist,don’t know when this talentless papa’s bo leave Bollywood and giving biggest tortures on earth—-himmatwala,action jacksion,and salman’s whole career is a biggest crap no need to specify 1 or 4 movie.these talentless papa’s boy one trick worked big time—-whenever give flops ,jumps to south remake so that bachi kuchi izzat will be saved for a long time, ROFL.however another talentless papa’s boy amoor saved ,as he uses mind always did countless movies,if he would have done films like salamn/ajay then he would have replace ajay devgan in giving most disasters in Bollywood.people should ban these useless papa’s boy’s movies.
@Ajinkya,you’dre talking about recovering cost of bm,it’ll break the record of Bombay velvet and becomes the biggest all time flopbusters in the history of Indian Cinema,make way for slb to mental asylum.
koyla—-19 disasters(most disaster giving star)
sallu—-3 disasters and glorious 34+ flops(2nd most flop giving star)
amoor—-3 disasters in just 38-39 films I’m longest 28 years of career(biggest shame for a senior most wannabe actor),ROFL.
So please make all of their fans united,still they are little less to fight against THE KING OF BOLLYWOOD’S ARMY.
It’ll be around 5 crore but still that is way too low for an Ajay devgn starrer
BB 3 friday collection would be more than drishyam
i expect it to open in between 5 and 6 crores
Don’t agree with this prediction.it should be 8cr+
Bajrangi Bhaijan looking go beyond 100 crore more than indicine’s prediction which was 220 crore domestic, now BB looks 320+ crore domestic.
For Drishiyam I liked the story and trailer I will watch it
I hope it does well. I have liked the promos of Drishyam, I may watch it after reading the reviews.
It will not make a difference for BB to cross PK, it will release in much smaller scale and BB should dominate at single screens as well. As things stand at the moment, it looks tough for BB to cross PK. I predict it to end its fantastic run around 310-320 crore nett.
@indicine wow how and on what condition u can say that the buzz for brothers is on 5 and it will open 16cr+…..
Just ask one of ur readers to go to a nearby theatre nd watch the trailer of brothers there and then tell him to ask from the audiences…….u will get ur ans..
I really don’t understand why are they underestimating brothers nd Singh is bling just because of Akshay sir last two films underperformed so then let me tell u both those were not great on hype after their initial trailer release nd especially baby….
many of them did not even knew at that time that baby was releasing on republic day weekend……still it did open around 9+
and gib still did 13cr+ on it’s opening day…
(Such was the low level promotion for both these films)…if u really want to know the buzz for brothers then check ur comments section on the films trailer post 237 comments it could have been more than 300 if u had not removed it in a day or two(just like u did with bajrangi bhaijaan)
Check the you tube trailer has received 8.3m+ views and the likes 53k higher than pk so by the time of Its release it will definitely get 9.2m+ views and more than 60k likes…….
I m again saying to u indicine and ur so called stupid readers don’t underestimate this movie at all other wise u will only get outnumbered… So remember
#14Aug2015
#Brothers
#there is a storm coming
(See I m not saying that the movies which trend on social media open huge on box office but this time my brothers the case is different for this film)…#14Aug..
@indicine, I failed to understand what u meant 5.25 crore on first day???
u said that the the movie releases in theaters today (previews shows at multiplexes), right? so that 5 cr, is it for today or tomorrow?? please clarify. thanks
King of intense ajay’s drishyam day 1 -7.5cr
lifetime-120
BB wil rise again this weekend
King of intense acting ajay’s drishyam day 1 -7.5cr
lifetime-120
BB wil rise again this weekend
lifetime below 330
Drishyam weeknd wil b affectd by BB aftr that drishyam wil pick up
drishyam’s super perfrmnce wil affct bra thers
after the AJ debacle ajay desperately needs a solid film.. not collection wise but content wise just to bring the audience faith back… collection wise he has already given hus due as singham returns.. and shivaay also looks a commercial winner already..
this is turning out to be the best phase for bwood.. all top 6 (superstars) are chipping in as well as the tailenders(young gen)… and this phase is only going to get better with prdp,dilwale,fan,shivaay,airlift,mohenjodaro,sultan,raees,dangal….. just when akki was coming back on track prabhu deva trapped him with singh is bling…
BB-atbb
drishyam-superhit
bra thers-disaster
BB won’t break pk record. Pk will remain at No.1 position for next few years
drishyam should have released next week there should have been one more week to cross pk collections but due to drishyam now both films won’t do much this week.i hope drishyam collects 40 + this week.
Salim Khan- Salman Khans father
Veeru Devgan- Ajay Devgns father
Taahir Hussain- Aamir Khans father
Honestly the names of these 3 fathers dont exactly stand out from the era of the 70s 80s as all of them were involved in behind the scenes activities of movies. Yet our complan boy is unique (retard stupid n illiterate rolled into 1 means hes unique) isnt an Engineering Genius for nothing as his insight into Bollywood goes deep even to the extent that he knows the names of the fathers of todays teaboys n spotboys…!
Clearly complan boy feels Salim Khan, Veeru Devgan, Tahir Hussain were big BIG bigger stars than the Big Bs, Vinod Khannas, Mithun Chakrabortys, Dharmendras, Feroz Khans of the 70s and 80s which explains why those lesser stars sons have been given lesser chances to succeed in B’town. PS except for Sunny rest are useless…!
God forbid if MPK, QSQT or Phool aur Kaante had all flopped then these so called star kids would have needed a dozen relaunch vehicles into Bollywood until they succeeded like lesser known star kids like Bobby Deol, Akshay Khanna, Abhishek Bachchan, Tusshar Kapoor, Fardeen Kapoor etc etc etc
Talent is nothing but its all about whos your daddy…!
Logic of an Engineering Genius from Hyderabad who drinks complan before during n after each meal of the day…!
@SSS floppy akshay has done counteless mindless movies like most of 1990s, de dana dan, TMK, boss, joker, housefull 1,2, kiladi 786, OUTIMD. Sharukhee has given epic tortures disasters like chaahat, duplicate, Porn movie Maya Memsaab, king uncle, DDLJ, KKHH, Baadshah, Baazigar, one 2 ka 4, shakti, chalte chalte, devdas, Con, Con 2, Ratoon. One, Bhojpuri Express, Crappy New Year,etc etc. so it’s better that these 2 talentless actors retire first as soon as possible.
@SSS why don’t you just leave this site forever? all your comments have only negativity and cheapness.

drishyam is another Bombay Velvet ie Good wOrd of mouth but bad box office collection
Hahaha very funny @sunny jallan. How can you be so dumb to know that everyone commenting are passing a message that this is not a commercial movie and even his fans and neutral fans know that it’s not any priority for this type of movies to explode the box ofc? It’s prediction is ok. It’s a striker thriller and he has delivered even if it’s half but not once a
32 crores opening in his life which only 3 other actors have done it and more only 3!! Bass! The 3 khans and Ajay Devgn. So who needs your 13 crores + for this movie. Beside jealous haters like u and @sss look at other srk aamir salman hritik fans admitting it’s not a bumper opener kind of movie. No one cares no will bash Ajay if he collects 6 crores and makes this movie a super hit. If he does tight slap on you and @jealous sss the biggest MORONS. Why showing everyone everyday how insecured you are? See your dislikes from universal fans that knows who Ajay Devgn is? worst comment is you hitting @aisha iqbal indirectly? Plane has to do with what in this article. You are a kid and so foolish I must say. Ajay fans even if he ends his career with flops always have the privilege to at least shout that Ajay had a 32 crores in this particular decade!! Let them say it 100 times cos no thinks it’s a joke to be in that opening day league! If it was a joke than akki wldv done half of that collection!!
One more thing. Since you mentioned plane why not specify it and then add two more phrases to the remaining 2 important thing you ddnt mention while trying to hit @aisha iqbal.
A. AJAY DEVGAN IS THE FIRST BOLLYWOOD SUPERSTAR TO OWN A PLANE JUST FOR SHOOTING LOCATIONS AND HOLIDAY TOUR.
EPIC!!!
B. AJAY DEVGAN IS THE 1ST INDIAN OUT OF 1.3 BILLION PEOPLE TO OWN A MERCEDES Z CLASS
HISTORICAL!!
C. AJAY DEVGAN IS THE 1ST INDIAN TOO TO OWN A MASSERATTI QUATTPORTE CARS DRIVEN BY VANESSA WILLIAMS LIONEL MESSI CAMERAN DIAZ BRADLEY COOPER VLADMIN PUTIN 50 CENTS OPRAH WINFREY NAME THEM!!! akki top earners? Wat does he own that makes him unique in india? Anything that may make his name enter guiness book of world record in anything feasible?? Think soch beta soch!! U can’t change this GUY besides your negative comments everyday I observe keeps on making Ajay Devgn a 24 hours celebrity here @indicine!! Even in real life of screen Ajay has shown some remarkable Class and Swag. Mano ya na mano..Tera aur @sss B.eng hydrebad school of jealousy maarzii!!! What do u say jallosunchi!!! aur Jallo!!*???????? suna kya? ?
Wow word of mouth is excellent. 2 Versatile screen models backed with National Award. Tabu is also among the actress who got their 1st solid hit critic movies with Ajay. Not to mention Raveena(depends which release before mohra or Dilwale 1994) karishma Manisha Madhoo Sonali Bendre!! Bring back the old days Veterans!!
The main problem of Ajay is, he is only Rohit Shetty actor other than Rohit Shetty he has rare low hits like Atithi tum kab jaoge, son of sardar….and drishyam will also be a low hit because it has great script
drishyam movie review imdb- 9 out of 10 . excellent.
@koyla rocks,it’s not indicine’s fault of predicting 5cr for koyla’s movies.but the fact is that his disaster star power has reached to such an extent that no one wants to see his koyla face which hardly can bring 2-3 audience into theatres,ROFL.koyla’s intense wannabe act is irritating so much that audience will prefer sallu’s overact over this koyla act.but the most laughable fact is that there is no actor besides koyla present in whole Bollywood whose success is not even half of that their wife’s success,ROFL.what a shame!!!!!
But his 2-3 existing fans are thinking by associating with bhai’s bhojpuri community,his movie might collect something more which is nothing but their blind belief,ROFL.anyways this movie also seems of couldn’t recover it’s budget but however depends upon the child artist,Tabu how they will perform like tzp,bb otherwise it’s fate too will remain indifferent from koyla’s maximum crapiest releases,ROFL.
Drishyam Will be far better than Sid’s Brothers.
