QnA: Why are Ranbir Kapoor films not working?

Q. Time and time again we have heard about the clashes between Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan. We now see that not only in India but in overseas too Aamir Khan has collections more than any SRK movie. So whom do we quantify as the No.1 actor in Bollywood? Is Aamir better than SRK? I think its the right time to ask this question since PK’s collection in China speaks a lot about this controversial question – Arijit Dutta

A. As far as the current standing in the industry is concerned, Aamir Khan is the undisputed No 1 star. PK has grossed more than Rs 700 crore worldwide, which is only a little lower than the ‘combined’ worldwide business of both Happy New Year and Kick! However, it would be hard for anyone to beat Shahrukh Khan’s consistency overseas. His films have been performing well for nearly 20 years now.

Q. What is the worldwide box office collection of Gabbar Is Back?

A. The worldwide box office collections of Gabbar Is Back is Rs 136 crore (gross). Overseas collections is 15.98 crore.

Q. What is the release date of ‘Raees’ starring Shahrukh Khan? – Mrityunjoy Chowdhury

A. Raees is scheduled to release during Eid next year. Expected date – 1st July.

Q. Why Ranbir Kapoor films are not working? Has he lost his star value? – Arpan Das

A. It’s just a phase that will pass. His last two films did not work because of wrong choices and Bombay Velvet always looked like a film that would fail. Insider reports of his upcoming film ‘Jagga Jasoos’ isn’t very positive either, but he has movies with filmmakers like Karan Johar (Ae Dil Hai Mushkil), Rajkumar Hirani (Sanjay Dutt biopic), Imtiaz Ali (Tamasha) and Ayan Mukerji (superhero film). All of them are super-successful filmmakers.

Q. What will be the opening day collections of brothers ? Will it cross Rowdy Rathore? – Ajay

A. This question has been asked several times. Since Brothers is releasing on a non-holiday, the collections are likely to be lower than 20 crore on Day 1. A more accurate prediction will be made once the trailer is out on June 10. As for beating the lifetime business of Rowdy Rathore, that will depend on content.

  • @Navin- U are a Batla like Aamir Khan, now I’m sure about it. Be prepared for Dangal to flop badly next year.

  • Raees release date- 3rd june 2016

    Indicine. . . Amir is not num 1. Only 4 film k wajah se Amir num 1 ban gaya???

    What about Talash?? 100cr bo v par nehi kar paya toh kaisa global star??

    SRK’s last 6 film 200cr worldwide. Amir’s Talash and Salman’s Ready and Jai ho not 200cr worldwide.

    Kitna v Rohit Sharama double century bana le Num 1 SRT(Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar) hi rehta h. . . Aise hi consistency kehta h who is num 1. Srk num 1 tha, hai, rahega. . .

    Remember the epic clash –

    1. Don vs Janeman

    2. Veer Zaara vs Aitraz

    3. KKHH vs BMCM

    4. Ram Jaane vs Akele hum akele tum

    5. JTHJ vs Sos

    6. Baazigar vs Bedardi

    7. Mohabbtein Vs Mission Kashmir

    8. Om shanti om vs Sawariya

    evry time winner name same. . He is King.

    20 saal se jo Bollywood ka king h and rahega.

    Amne samne ladai me Amir ho ya salman, Amitabh Govinda ho ya Akshay aur Ajay ya fir Ranbir . . . Sab ko mat deke jo consistence 23 year king hai wo hai num 1.

    Haterz read my comment again and again and get a life.

  • It’s Aamir Khan in overseas and worldwide.
    His films are in top 3 in worldwide and overseas.
    He is true Global Superstar
    Forget to tell srk a global superstar

  • Amir will require more than 2 birth ti gain THE SUPERSTARDOM of KING KHAN.and how is it logically possible,let’s check this out:

    KING KHAN=30 HITS
    amir khan=11 hits

    so 11*2=22+8=30

    That means amir khan requires almost 3 birth to gain SUPERSTARDOM OF KING SRK whether in terms of bo collection or in terms ACTING(in which he is far way behind KING SRK).so I couldn’t understand why peoples are comparing amir with THE BAADSHAH OF BOLLYWOOD.

  • although i am not a fan of ranbir kapoor but just like every other actors he’s going through down phase and he will rise back after tamasha/jagga jasoos, every actor goes through the same phase… therefore they are very hard working superstars….:)

  • In last 12 month Akshay Kumar SIR’s Achievements

    Entertainment – Flop
    The Shauqeens – Disaster
    Baby – Average
    GIB – Above Average

    Baby & GIB prove that Success of Rowdy Rathore & Holiday were due Sonakshi Sinha. That’s mean without Sonakshi, Akshay Kumar Sir is nothing.

  • GIB Indian nett. 86 Cr.
    GIB World Wide BO 135 Cr. gross
    Overseas 14 Cr.
    Congrats Akshay Sir fans. GIB becomes Akshay Kumar SIR 4th back to back in 12 Month ‘Failure Movies’.

  • About Brothers, which is releasing in August month, ‘LUCKY’ for Akshay Kumar SIR. Akshay Kumar has given many of biggest hit of Indian Cinema in August months. #Entertainment #Ouatimd & #Joker. Congrats in advance for Brothers.

  • My humble request to indicine please prepare list of hit, superhit, blockbuster, atbb for both Amir and srk movies and let people know what kind of consistency srk has. I already posted list but u can prepare better one.

  • @kunaal kohli go check indicine, boxofficeindia and other sites GIB has been given hit status and u talk abt holiday and rr that sonakshi’s presence made those movies successful take a look at housefull1,housefull 2 and all his other hit films in the past he has given at least 20 hit films… i suggest u check indicine’s boxoffice verdict for this yr b4 writing bunch of crap..

  • Pk, 3 idiots, dhoom3 has done extremely well in overseas market wherever Xmas holiday was on (USA UK, Australia) Pk collection are less in gulf, Singapore Malaysia and even Germany compare to crap HNY. Fact that Amir didn’t rule in all overseas market like srk at his best phase. 3 idiots had less collection than MNIK in UK, gulf, Germany , Malaysia, morocco, Egypt. It’s only because of some maker like USA aus and china contributed heavily toward total numbers which resulted in record numbers.

  • PK has collected 100 cr in China, and srk fans are talking about 20 years of this, and 20 years of that..lol.

    @babaji, you are right about srk releasing the wrong movie. The makers of HNY thought that just because 3i did well, may be Chinese suddenly liked hindi movies and will take whatever you offer them. Wrong.

    Aamir’s 3 idiots content got connected to Chinese because of their education style / system being similar to that of India. He made a connect through the story of the movie. The makers understood and marketed the movie well in China before it could garner good response.

    In the Chinese market, after 3i, Aamir is now known as a star who delivers good movies, and most of the young chinese students had seen 3i. This is the reason when Aamir’s next movie came, they all flocked to the theatres.

    HNY makers just thought that Aamir movie got good business, so will srk, but sadly, Chinese people don’t know who srk is. He never connected to them.

    If you want to grab a new market you just don’t dumb anything, but get a product that connects or relates with the locals, and later you push next stuff, which will do wonders.

    I bet Aamir’s next movie will also do very good in China.

  • srk is nothing without yrf and dharma,he didnot give a single superhit without them until 2004.Just deal with the fact srk fans.truth is bitter guys.

  • #PK has crossed 100 cr , 2nd movie to achieve
    such feat outside India after Maya Memsaab which
    crossed this mark way be4 on foreign porn sites

  • @indicine whether @rew1 talking sense or not it doesn’t need that you come to counter him, if it so than you should also reply idiots like @sss,javed etc too.
    Regarding srk no doubt that he has great record behind him but could you tell me how big duplicate was in 1997 in overseas which was srk first film under dharma banner, not to forget srk worked with yash ji,aadi chopra in his early stage of career, and dharma also got big when Karan joined the business. Yrf no doubt struggling without top stars but how many film yash ji Aur aadi directed with less known stars. What was CDI collection which was yrf banner non romantic film in overseas. You can’t say that they need srk more than him, in early stage of career srk need them the most, yash ji created history in overseas with lamhe which was disaster in India. Srk all throughout in last 15 years are done romantic films with NRI guys most of time. Its not srk alone but others big names also required to have big impact, karan directed 4 films starting srk all became all time grosser but KHNH wasn’t all time grosser, similarly with yrf he got all time grosser with ddlj and vz both directed by chopras themselves. We have seen how big srk alone is when we have see the results of asoka,swades,cdi etc success there. He is struggling to get past his own mnik since last 5 years, now he goes back to yrf and kajol again. Its all about content which appeal to section of audience whether its India or overseas, fact is srk NRI appealing love stories/family drama scores most than his other usual stuff.
    Regarding marketing Aamir hardly promoted his films in overseas, if he do you can have results like pk success in China, where VVC and Aamir tied up to local distributer and promoted film extensively.
    My point is the fact you guys not came to counter act of comment of one section either do for both side or keep quite, because most of here are trying to give credit to others if its not having their fav ones.

  • it’s true that akki’s last films in aug flopped badly at boxoffice but this time it won’t happen brothers will emerge blockbuster and will become highest grossing film easily beating his highly grossing successful film rowdy rathore…. couple of bad films doesn’t make any actor bad… lets not forget akki has also given many good films…. don’t forget agneepath original was flop but due to karan malhotra’s direction its remake was super-hit… and same thing will happen with brothers which is a warrior remake… it will be a blockbuster film…

  • SRK fan excuse: “Ppl did not watch HNY in China coz
    they traveled already to other countries to watch it in
    Oct 2014 only. King Roxx”

  • PK is crossing lifetime of HNY everyday in China. Epic
    insult lol @iamsrk. @aamir_khan chaa gaye!!!!

  • Other thing its not srk had created some international market to us, his films performed well in the market where Indians are living, its not like that non Indian or Muslim countries he had any strong base, for example in China,Japan its Aamir film who get huge response as compare to other.
    @sht useless theory could you give breakdown of collection of gulf,malasya,etc. Hny was shooted in Dubai so it was huge plus these are Muslim dominate countries, regarding 3i not beaten mnik in counties like uk etc doesn’t make sense as its not that a film will create hoopla in every market, dhoom 3 broke and tore apart every records wherever it release, you are talking about Germany,Singapore,Malaysia etc than Aamir also has China,Japan where Indians are too less and srk is no where in competition there.take that.

  • SRK fans ka balatkar ho gyi, fir bhi sharam nahi aa rhi yaahan aake comment kre jaa rhe h.
    ??

  • So indicine what was the reason for the failure of amir film in overseas ,why not his film worked and why now film is collecting more , due u really think it was due to stardom of srk .?

  • Regarding fan base it didn’t come with one or 2 films you have to keep delivering good films which appeals to audiences, Aamur is not it not touch or pass srk he went much much ahead with his films when he did huge business with dhoom 3 and pk. Talaash weekend collection in overseas are better than srk’s jthj which was a festive release.
    I bet none of upcoming srk films can go past 30 million $ there,may be fail to go ahead 25 million$, then we have to see how big he is.
    To give a film thrice who set box office bar is higher in both markets is not cup of tea, srk despite being top in overseas couldn’t achieve that was Aamir did with 3i,d3, and pk. Mind that all were different Zoner films too.
    Aamir is able to achieve his career highest grosser back to back with 5 films with rdb,fanaa,tzp,ghajini,3i with different kind of movies and the it happened in 4 years when Aamir 3i collected 4 times than rdb in span of just 4 years, this is called the unprecedented achievement. Aamir has a poor habit that whenever he is on high he took breaks. He did it after lagaan and dch released, he took 2 year break after given back to back atbbs with ghajini and 3i and he also did the same after d3 and pk success.
    Someone commented here pk success in China contributed to srk as he opened the market there, in that way srk whole success should credited to Aamir who opened market of love stories with qsqt and Salman who introduced overseas market with Hahk. Srk only choose that path which created by others.lol.

  • @indicine,today I must say I become your fan because of THE TRUTH said by you,love you @indicine forever,epic reply ever.

    KING KHAN BORN TO BE NO.1.
    KI G KHAN BORN TO BE THE UNDISPUTED GLOBAL MEGASTAR OF INDIA.

  • Dumb SRK fans talking consistency and No. Of hits.
    I’ll tell you some facts.
    1. Aamir has done only 38 movies, SRK has 70. So, a comparison regarding no. of hits is totally baseless. Aamir doesn’t go around churning senseless movies after a gap of 6 months, like SRK(although he is also now following Aamir doing 1 movie a year)

    2. Consistency of Aamir is way more than SRK when it comes to quality movies(Box-office is secondary) . SRK follows the policy of giving 1 quality movie and then following it with 3-4 craps. Aamir thinks, analyses and then selects a script that is brilliant.

    To conclude, Aamir has always been better than SRK in terms of consistency in quality movies, and now he is ruling the box-office as well since the last 6-7 years because the audience can understand the difference between a quality and a poor movie. Period.

  • big banner means they have well established with reveiwer and distributor and big production value.even with newcomers soty earn 70 cr in 2012 why?all we know karan johar.bt big banner also need a list actor nt lyk tushar ayushman or female oriented movie.big banner and director promotes n benefits the film in a big way.that nt mean if yashraj sign vivek then it will cross 100cr.example-brothers will cross 130 cr easily why ?its nt only akshay.indepen. holiday and dharma boost its collection abt 40%.

  • Whenever it comes to overseas Indicine is always talking about consistency of srk in overseas but they forget to see consitency of srk for chasing his own mnik there in his last five releases.
    Srk fans situation is like ‘kato to khoon nahi’ after seeing pk collection in overseas which is now 41 million $ and will soon touch 45 million $ which is almost equal to twice of mnik overseas figure. Srk reached from 3.5 million to 22.5 million in 15 years since he dominated in overseas, Aamir started with ghajini as srk fans saying from ghajini 7 million to 45 million of pk in 7 years.pura Ka pura market hila dala overseas Ka, and srk is sitting at 22.5 in so called 20 years of dominance.

  • keep barking haters.give excuses lyk talash.u forget that talash was dark genre and no promotion ,no songs and low production value.it realeased 2 weeks after diwali jthj and sos.people already spent jthj-102 cr n sos-89 cr in diwali holidays,no holiday and aust after 1 week khiladi 786(71cr) a masala film released.still collected 96 cr and worldwide 190 cr.nt lyk srk n hrithik they manipulated this 96 cr to 125 cr.and they got superhit bt it amir so semihit.if srk is biger than amir then why he manipulate the 1st weekend 20cr.by this way he became publicity news.n earn more.but still less than half of amir.
    if he is biger than amir n salman then prove it.n nt become king by globally promoted and manipulation.
