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.

  • After historical success of #PK across the globe, SRK fans demand to declare Maratha Mandir just another planet to reign supreme..

  • @ sky why are u ignorant. Indicine is absolutely correct. Amir is definetly biggest star last 3 years (2011, 2012) he was below srk and everybody agreed. But you are hell bent to agree that srk is most consistent since DDLJ. Just check my comment on second page for comparative success still u r keep blabbering china collection. 3 idiots 1st phase was below MNIK first phase it is only Hong Kong, china which help it to emerge a winner. Srk movie does equally well on every overseas market. If u Amir’s three movie he has only one big success in past (fanaa) which well below srk’s action movie don (2006) let alone his biggest hit DDLJ, KKHH, k3g oso and so on. Even Amir’s highly acclaimed lagaan, dch was below than srk’s PBDHH, josh etc. this is enough to show u strength of srk. Don’t talk like moronic people. We all know and accept that Amir is biggest star today in overseas market especially huge numbers from china, USA, and Australia but he still below srk in rest of the world like UK, UAE, and other small territories but when srk was in his prime he was rulling each n every market irrespective of movie genre. Accept this.

  • @SRK HATERS who made YRF and DHARMA?????…it’s the SHAH RUKH KHAN …….Indicine should publish an article on this… before DARR yrf films were contionusly flopped and who knew about KARAN jOHAR and dharma productions before “KUCH KUCH HOTA HAI”…..indicine please publish an article on this to shut the brainless SRK haters

  • @ishan gulati ,ha ha ha ha how don’t yiu have any shame as still commenting here after slapped by @indicine big time?????how big dumb person you’re!!!!!KING KHAN did only 55 FILM IN LEAD ROLE.rest 15 FILMS are in supporting/cameo characters,you fool.othetwise add films like kehele hum jee jaan se ,Bombay talkies like films aso into amir’s film list though amir’s almost whole career already gone by doing half actor role which is his top favourite,lol.so which consistency you’re talking about?????amir has 15 flops our of 38/39 films and KING KHAN has 18-19 flops out of 55 FILMS.then kindly tell me who is MORE CONSISTENT????? also KING KHAN has mire than double REAL CLASSICS FILMS than yiur half actor’s wannabe pseudo realistic classics.and which crap you’re talking about?????be it’s 90’s humshakals — andaz apna apna or this decade ‘s biggest overacted crap dhoom3 or other craps like talash and mediicre masla movies like 3i/pk.beside amir’s lagaan,Darshil in kead with half actor’s tzp,said/akshay/half actor”s dch are realistic class movies that did by your half actor.rest are wannabe class movies.do one thing ,go to IMDb ,made 10-17 fake ids and vote your perfaketionist and chant there it as class movie besides blabbering like a fool here,lol.

    @sky ,@indicine is not a dumb like you amir fans who’ll think 11 hit multistarrer film’s half actor is ahead of KING OF BOLLYWOOD,LOL.with out hirani/dhoom what your perfaketionist did?????let me tell the answer,still he is chasing KANK’S OVERSEAS COLLECTION RECORD,lol.otherwise why your Amur couldn’t break KANK’S collection with ghajini/talash, inspire having big holidays?????so stop giving excuses now.because you caught big time next year dangal pandey will struggle to cross even 15-17 million in overseas,that also if the script becomes so good.otherwise KING KHAN’S craps is also collecting 15 + MILLION IN OVERSEAS only after KING KHAN’S NAME.let your star to create his own record with out hirani/dhoom ,then come here and chant day & night long.otherwise a insect will not also create and will like to see your record did by Hirani+CHRISTMAS,Dhoom3+CHRISTMAS.1st let your star to cross to beat MNIK’S OVERSEAS COLLECTION with out HOLIDAY and 2ndly let your star to cross KANK’S overseas collection of his own,then come here and cry amir is big overseas star,then also I doubt if anyone will listen to you or not.because KING KHAN has far more ATBBS,BBS,SUPER HITS ,HITS in overseas than amir ,so up to which extent you’ll cry no one will listen to you.because it’s impossible to beat THE STREAK’S CONSISTENCY IN OVERSEAS/DOMESTIC.put it into your mind comp lab kiddo and stop crying.ha ha your Amur started his career in 1988 and with out hirani/dhoom he couldn’t beat even KANK’S RECORD till now,what could be bigger shame other other than this?????,lol.whatever the record created by dhoom/hirani that will be broken by only KING KHAN,because your half actor doesn’t have the capacity to break even KANK’S record so this record will be almost impossible for him to break,lol.so remind it,don’t dream of hirani/dhoom,half actor’s target is KANK,when he’ll cross this barrier,then wake me up,lol.

  • really even amitabh and rajesh had worked with yashraj.rajesh khana establish yashraj as the bigest banner.and dharma was nt a big banner its the director karan johar.
    srk is a superstar no doubt.but behind amir and salman.if any doubt then make a film with avg director and just a teasor within 2 weeks,no promotion ,no good songs lyk pk n kick forget 340cr and 220cr.it will struggled to get 100cr.
    lykwise if pk have good songs and 1yr of heavy promotion,globaly promoted,foreign location ,bigest heroine.then collection is unimaginable.

  • escape plan…..u r right yr…bt b4 2007 sarook realy actd well(though i dont like)…afrer ds excpt rnbj’s old character his performances r all bulsht nd ovracted…such an actor how take the positon no. 1!
    aur amir betrr thn no. 1.. realy an amzng actor…

  • @gotya bhai….baap se beta hota hai..srk best versn emerng 4m yrf…thora brain hai toh compare movies of srk to amir muv..

  • @indicine first my comment was only a reply to a moronic srk fans who never give credit to aamir for his success. So you dont need to tell me like that. And if dharma was really newly launched then can you please kindly tell me how many so called hits srk has given without yrf and dharma and A list actresses? If you can answer my question only then reply me. My comment has logo and I will stick to it. And also dont lie aamir never promoted ghajini, 3 idiots, dhoom 3 and pk in overseas. How come whatever aamir does have excuses and srk does have to do with stardom? Can you explain me some logic in it????? My comment is not funny but logical but your site is illogical so that’s why I sounds funny. Get well soon indicine.

  • @indicine oh really? Where on earth rani made her debut with srk?? I have never seen such illogicalness. Check the info rani started her cares with aamir. Dont lie. If srk doesnt need big banners then how many hits has he delivered on his own shoulders like taste zameen par, ghajini, dabamgg, ready, bodyguard???? Kindly reply me. And kajol also was not launched with srk. She started her debut with another film. So stop making readers fool.

  • what indicine trying to say in 1st question is that aamir is ahead of srk in recent times but srk is still ahead when it comes to their whole carrier.

    I have not brought k3g, devdas veerzara kind of movies for comparison.

  • @sht hahaha, I am not ignorant, you are saying Aamir’s lagaan collected less than phir bhi dil h Hindustani and josh, may be it true but are those film any day near to kkhh,k3g. You are saying srk is top of every where when he was his best phase, what he is in China,Japan. Srk films was released in wider market earlier than others because of yrf distribution.If he has got opportunity to release his films first there, and still most of films not release there, regarding gulf & uk highest grosser are dhoom 3. Pk doesn’t get huge there but collected better than hny specially in UK,plus did srk bring any any non Indians,Muslim overseas market big, I don’t think so.
    The way srk fans are reacting on every overseas related feature is a complete sign that how typical for them to accept Aamir at top. I never had any issue over consistency of srk.
    @sss I stopped to read your comments from long time, so don’t try to reply me you complan boy as I never read your illogical thoughts.

  • @REW1 why r u crying on srk success. Tell me how many Amir given big overseas hit outside hirani, chopra etc. zero. Why not he salvage chopra’s career with classic parampara. Why Subhash ghai, mehul kumar, Rajiv rai, raj kapoor, manmohan desai production not in the business who were bigger than yash chopra. First learn about Bollywood then comments.

  • I mean if it was not big banner for srk film success then why the hell aamir films has no major collection in overseas earlier before 2007 can indicine explain this ?
    Though amir acting and film is 100 times better than srk but now what kind of magic has been done with amir films, u can easily get an example from dhoom 3 inspite of bad content it was a blockbuster in overseas , the reason behind is yrf .
    And indicine is giving no credits to big banners and thinking all movies of srk works only becoz of srk and nothing else ,it was due to yrf and dharma who made shahruk not shahrukh made yrf and dharma. Mind it .

  • @Damnnnn!!!!, well what if I say that if sarookh would do talaash or jai ho and release on non holiday period and guess what he would chase akshay’s famous ruling club I.E. 60 Cr club. Shame shame!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @sss Bhai teri aadhi baat toh samajh nahi aati. ??
    English seekh pehle aur apne Global Star ko bol ek HGOTY de, 8-9 saal ho gye. ?
    I don’t indulge in discussion with fans of actor whose highest collection is half of Aamir’s highest collection. ?

  • SRK wanted to do movies only after seeing Aamir. SRK said this in one of his interview to Guardian.

    SAROOK Fans should digest this another fact..

    “The first film he saw after he graduated (with a degree in economics) that made him think he wanted to be an actor was Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, a film about star-crossed lovers, starring Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla. “I didn’t think I was as good-looking or as cool as they were, but somehow I felt I could do it.”. — SRK

  • Pointless discussions. I request all Aamir n Salman fans to ignore such srk fans who lives in past glories. They keep chanting about Darr, KKHH, DDLJ n MNIK but they gave excuses n credit directors n banners, genres for Aamir & Salman success !!!!!! The Indian audience has given their verdict from last 7 years n now even overseas audiences have proved it. No doubt srk was leading ONCE UPON A TIME but he is struggling to overcome Salman n mostly Aamir in both Domestic n overseas. He has tried almost everything what Salman n Aamir did like releasing on Eid, working in masala genre n now releasing on Christmas (for 2nd time – Don2 was epic disappointment). Let’s see what he does with Rohit, Kajol, Varun, Masala genre n Christmas. Anything less than PK will be underachievement n less than Dhoom 3 will be a disaster !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @kunal kholi ! But still the mega disaster of all time in the history of Bollywood belong to Mr, Ranbir kapoor. Which I am sure will be un beaten for next 100 years. Even tushar Kapoor can’t beat this record. Baby and Gabbar is back have already collected around 300cr worldwide and wait for brother
