‘Hero’, which marks the acting debut of two star-kids – Aditya Pancholi’s son Sooraj and Suniel Shetty’s daughter Athiya – will hit screens tomorrow. Salman Khan has been creatively involved in the making of the film, sung the most popular song in the album and also produced the film.
Last year, a similar film titled ‘Heropanti’, which marked the debut of Tiger Shroff and Kriti Sanon, released in theatres and went on to collect Rs 6.52 crore on its opening day at the box office. ’Hero’ should take a better opening as the film has Salman’s backing and also releases on higher number of screens as compared to ‘Heropanti’.
As part of our #IndicineFBO predictions, we expect the film to open at 7.5 crore tomorrow. Check out the detailed predictions of other upcoming films. Do note that the final predictions will be made a day before release.

What’s your prediction for ‘Hero’? Vote and tell us what you think

My prediction for hero is 6.4 crs
Indicine what is the budget of the film hero?
Salman power will help it to take a bumper opening …
Flop movie..,.it has got thumbs down from critics….!!…
Salman bhai,, har gadhe ghatiya logo ko launch krte ho,, 1st that ugly talentless 3rd class flop arjun kapoor…. N now criminal suraj…!..
Hero = flop
11 crore day 1
My prediction : 8 crs on opening n 28-30 crs weekend !!!!!!
Opening should be around 7crs but it won’t cross Heropanti lifetime,mark my words!
Tiger is a fab dancer and is great at action,Sooraj is ZERO in front of him.
Kriti Sanon was a dazzler,Athiya looks pale in comparison and the movie was also a decent one time watch.
Reviews are mostly negative so far for ZERO,so expecting it to crash after this weekend and settle around 38-40crs
VERDICT:Flop
it will open in b/w 7to8cr.All the best.
hero 8 cr
why indicine you didn’t show the dilwaale prediction? in my view 27crs
flop actors flop movie
7.8-8.2,crs bcos of Salman
Without Salman may be it would have been some additional laks more than Heropanti.
Watched today in Dubai. Just OK ..however unable to match original Hero of 1983..
how many song arijit singh singing in dilwale?
when dilwale first look out
dilwale coming………………haters get ready for burnt…………………
the king dilwale is back…………….#DILWALE18DEC #CHRISTMAS
it will open around in the 7.5-8 cr range
and considering itz wom to be decent it should collect well over 25 crs its first weekend
first week should be 40plus cr..and lifetime around 60crs…@indicine whats the budget of the movie
more than 10 crores
Hero looks very promising for multiple reasons! The backing of Salman Khan, the superb music and the return of romance coupled with action after quite a gap will certainly ensure that the film opens quite well, particularly in the single screen cinemas of tier 2 and 3 towns.
The debutants ?look promising and the trailers indicate that the producers have left no stone unturned in making this a great launch vehicle for them. Releasing with a little over 2000 screens, I’m quite sure it should notch up fairly good figures over the opening weekend!
Budget :- 22 cr + 13 cr (35 cr)
Release Size/Screen Count :- 2100 screens (might go higher or lower too) Overseas -300 +Screens
Censor Details/Running Time/Run Time – U/A Certificate 2 hrs 11 mins (131 mins)
Hero Box Office Predictions
Opening Day – 6.5 – 7 cr
IF WORD OF MOUTH IS Good
First Weekend – 23 cr
First Week – 36 cr
Lifetime Collections – 56 cr
IF WORD OF MOUTH IS MIXED
First Weekend – 22 cr
First Week – 34 cr
Lifetime Collections – 48 cr
IF WORD OF MOUTH IS BAD
First Weekend – 20 cr
First Week – 30 cr
Lifetime Collections -35 cr
Correction indicine
Welcome back should be+24%
And how can you underestimate the power of comedy king..
Kis kis ko par karon will earn much more than you predictions
Mai hu hero tera..my prediction for hero is 9crore
Like singh is bling opening predication …its will offer more entertainment value to cinema goers… wait and watch for full colourful movie of the year.
HERO day1 8cr weekend 30cr LIFE TIME: 70cr $UP€R -H!T
I think around 8cr is a fair guess so anything above it would be a bonus.
Difference here unlike Heropanti is the heroine- shes not that hot nor a good actress by the looks of the promo so Sooraj is gonna have to carry the film on his own.
Lifetime I think 40-50cr is good- hope its that much or they may get bashed by media n haters as flop star kids…!
Was aditya pancholi a star back in day lol
There is one khan and That is Salman Khan:- Sushil khArat.
An engineer and the farmer of 180 acres in which onion. now make this article indicine.

Hero 1st may 7.85cr
weekend 26cr
lifetime 52cr
verdict average
it will be flop …………… and i wish too .
