The comparison is unfair. Salman Khan, along with the two other Khans, are by some distance the biggest stars in the industry. On the other hand, Ek Villain had a supremely talented, but under-rated director at its helm, along with 2-film old stars like Sidharth Malhotra and Shraddha Kapoor. Ek Villain also had fewer shows and competition from Hollywood film Transformers: Age of Extinction and regional release Punjab 1984.
At the same time, Jai Ho had very little in its favour apart from Salman Khan and the opening was way below expectations for a film released on 3900 screens.
Yet, it is hard to believe that a film like Ek Villain, has actually challenged and almost managed to surpass the opening day business of not just Jai Ho.. but Akshay Kumar’s Post-IPL release Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty, 2 States (huge recall value because of Chetan Bhagat’s novel) and Sajid Khan’s Humshakals.
- Jai Ho – 17.38 cr (3900 screens)
- Ek Villain – 16-17 cr (2500 screens)
- Gunday – 15.86 cr (2750 screens)
- 2 States – 12.28 cr (2100 screens)
- Holiday – 11.95 cr (3250 screens)
- Humshakals – 11.28 cr
- Ragini MMS 2 – 8.32 cr
- Heropanti – 6.52 cr
- Main Tera Hero – 6.21 cr
- Shaadi Ke Side Effects – 5.45 cr
ek gayllain is waste of time and k.jo will be happy this result
Haters shut up kick will collect 35 cr on opening day ek villan is film for multiplex audience and jai ho is masala entertainer plus jai ho music is not even as half Better as ek villan plus jai ho released at the time of exam while ek villan is released at end of holiday period ek villan has great director , great music , 3 well known actors and jai ho has only salman
RA.1 — 18 crs first day including all versions. But haters will exclude that fig as it will let their bhabijaan down…..also 15 crs+ for DON 2 and 13 crs for JTHJ despitr clash put their bhabijann in the same seat with a tawaef.
@NIRANAND — KING has 5 different genere films with clash, diwali release still all it earned 100 + crs while your bhabijaan sticked to the trend started by SRK with masala and avoided clash and got huge number of screens, higher ticket pricr, huge number of shows,eid, x mas, item numbers etc but still unable to get past 3IDIOTS…..lolllll…..shame to bhabijaan.
Thats the difference between a king and a tawaef.
@vicky
you are right brother.
What is the difference between you people and politicians?
And then you complain about politics annihilating your ethnics, when it is in actual embedded in your blood.
Thanks Indicine for clarifying this. Haters call Jai Ho as Flop (in reality a Semi-Hit). Look, Salman’s flop film can stay on top for more than 6 months then what can he do with his Blockbusters. It was sheer Salman stardom which took Jai Ho beyond 100 crores. RIP haters !!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!! KICK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
amir khan small star than sid his forget srk srk is realy big star than joker amir khan
3idot total raju hirani film not amir khan & dhoom 3 was a brand otherwise amir joker khan talas fail 100 cr shame amir khan fan shame
Srk has 5/6 cult movies which will be remembered ever but salman has ZERO..
Humshakals’s first collection is much more then Holiday so plz @Indicine,correct ur list.
@srk fans: Srk is yet to give a blockbuster with debut actress and director. You want me to name such blockbusters of salman khan? Hahaha
Congrats to Team Mohit- not his best work but what a movie- loved it to bits n beautiful Shraddha is just a delight to behold- love the songs immensely. Super Hit Movie easily n a possible BlockBuster- Shraddha could have 2 back to back BlockBusters- only 2 yrs into her career n she has already done something which lungi king in 22 yrs hasnt managed or ever likely do n that is consistently deliver back to back BBs which stars like Aamir and Salman do- Kudos n respexXxXx

@sangeev11 OSO was with relatively new director Farah (only one film old) and debutant Deepika, get ur facts right!
srk cn give hits only with big director and actress..but salman has given max hits with new ones

@vikram : consider Maya Memsaab, Guddu, Paheli, Asoka, Duplicate, YLJK, Zamana Deewana also as Blockbusters !!!!! Mohabbatein, Devdas, KHKN & Veer Zaara are not Blockbusters. Check facts before you bark:
