“ROFL.. Now Karthik will teach Srk about stardom?” – so this big zilch who claims Amitabh Bachchan has no blockbusters as a lead (despite his own fantasy fav BOI placing him in the all time top 3) hates Kartik Aryan as well. Unsurprising unless Kartik changes Aryan to Ahmed for such whatsapp uni online noobs with Zero knowledge of box office to like him.

Not sure its a good idea for Shehzaada. They probably were reacting to the Pathaanday cut but they stand more to lose here being Day 1.
Meanwhile while i think Pathaan wont do more than 1.5 to 2 crs though with higher occupancies than today, I am hearing from sources that trade is expecting it to go above 3cr and even reach 4cr tomm. Not sure whats the screen count now.

Ideally, it should have been an easy hit at 100 crs. Everything looked fine till the advance, and suddenly the hype was gone, the songs didn’t do great and low advance. It can still do well after WOM kicks in and does 80-100 crs.
Only negative of Shehzada is that it’s remake, rest all is fine and if it flops, that’ll be only reason. Kartik should quickly move over to original films and not keep promoting and wasting time on this one.

In total there could be 30 bumper openings for Amitabh Bachchan as in the eighties and early nineties it was bumper for nearly every film be it that film eventually turned out to be a HIT or FLOP.
https://boxofficeindia.com/report-details.php?articleid=4412
Its understandable that the date of the first film is not known of some small actor but this is Amitabh Bachchan who is the biggest star the country has seen till date.
https://boxofficeindia.com/report-details.php?articleid=6055
When historians right about Indian cinema then it may well be that the names of Dilip Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan are top of the pile due to various reasons
https://www.boxofficeindia.com/report-details.php?articleid=7570
I can go on and on but only quoting SRK fansite (run by Dharma) for exclusive reasons. **EDITED** questioning ABs megastardom during his peak with imbecile excuses of multistarrers (never mind he’s the first Indian actor to have successful films as a solo lead in his 60s & 70s) might as well stick to wetting themselves on their icon’s dimples since that’s their only purpose of existence.

**Edited** comparing Bachchan in his 60s to the present lot of steroid junkies should first answer which actor in Bollywood BEFORE Bachchan ever got a fraction of the commercial success AB did in his 60s via films like Aankhen, Baghban, Khakee, Black, Sarkar and Paa. Same goes for Bachchan in his 70s. Despite small time hits, only time will tell how many of these cinematic universe clowns are even alive till 75, forget acting in films like Pink. But then the online world of gen Z nincompoops is such who call Rohit Sharma a better odi batsman than Sachin due to 3 double hundreds against one. Never mind that Sachin was the first to get there in the pre T20 rulebook.

No one is questioning what Bachchan accomplished in 12 years from 1973 to 1985, but don’t treat 1986 to 2023, especially the last 30 years as same as 1973 to 1985. that is the problem with bachchan fanatics, they want to present argument as it’s all same when it’s a night and day difference.
This at the age of “80” argument can be made for at “80”, at “70” at “60” and at “50” as well.
You will have to go back to 1985 when bachchan was 43 to have his last solo blockbuster.
Not sure of your age but i grew up in 70s so i know what Bachchan super stardom was like. I’m not an internet kid who confuses things due to not having first hand information. I lived thru it.
But Baby Steps, seems you recognize now that bachchan last solo blockbuster was 38 YEARS AGO when bachchan was 43…

The non solo BB argument was given by that dunce Zero.. don’t give yourself so much importance. And yes the fact still remains he was the first Bollywood actor to stay relevant in his 60s (even via semi hits if not BBs) and 70s as well (even if its small time hits). Its something none of his contemporaries or seniors came close to achieving apart from Dilip Kumar in supporting roles (only in his 60s).

yes, it’s true no one else from his generation survived and big part of it goes to his strict diet regime he had adopted where it made him healthy and look in decent shape versus all others who were balloons.
This also led to being the only choice film makers had, to have someone in a particular role.
And due to financial reasons, Amitabh started taking any and every role and this opened up doors for filmmakers to slot bachchan in any role no matter how important or small role it is. So once where Amrish puri, anupam kher, kadar khan, etc were doing those roles, some filmakers started taking bachchan for it.
Tthe movie that really annoyed me was Vivek Oberoi/Aishwariya move where bachchcan played a role which would have typically gone to anupam kher in those times. a really minor buffon type of role and seeing bachchan playing that role really took something out of me. here, a man that i grew up watching, larger then life persona, doing a lousy side actor/comedian role. i don’t know, I vividly remember it bothering the hell out of me.
in this sense, Dilip Kumar really lived and went out like a King. Till his last film, he was the center of attention in the film.

Dilip Kumar’s last was a b grade film called Qila that released in 1997 where he played a rapist landlord. I doubt you’ve heard of it. The strict diet regimes and attention to fitness was a luxury those days while its a necessity now not just in Bollywood but Hollywood as well (read Al Pacino at 60+ vs a Cruise or Pitt today). And actresses as well (even megastars Madhuri and Hema didn’t last much post 30). Anyhow I’m more than happy to slot Dilip saab ahead of AB if it comes to that. At least none of them reverted to B and C grade films unlike Dharmendra and Mithun.

It’s a personal observation that back rows and gold class seats in high end multiplexes sell faster for Karthik Aryan films. High ticket rates = Higher income and this more intelligence.

I found it interesting that SRK has been regularly wishing Rajni on his birthdays for a while, which he doesn’t do for others. I wonder how much of it comes from him studying how Rajni managed his longevity after what was seen as a career ending flop in Baba.
Rajni, after Baasha, decreased his exposure in the media and public to an extreme level and for enough intervals of time that, every release would have insane hype that made movies sail through with even mediocre content. In a way, SRK emulated that in taking a break post Zero, the pandemic really helped in curtailing his presence and Pathaan was also the big star entertainer that people were missing (not to call any of 2022’s flops art films 🙂

Good Q. I will go with Vikram. Thats the better movie and also harder for the actor to do it at that age of 68 without compromising on the acting abilities (The scene of kamal attending to the grandson when the body of Prabhanjan is placed for the final journey still gives me goosebumps or every scene he interacts with his grandson or the scene where he explains the purpose of his mission.). Kamal made a comeback in the terrain where Rajni rules. The final scene of kamal going all Rajni with a M2 Browning and a canon is him saying I can do what you can do and better. Its vindication for all kamal fans standing behind him defending him against Rajni.
I am bigger SRK fan than Rajni and ss a fan of SRK it is a delight to see him in good spirits these days on twitter. One knows he is happy after the personal ordeal last year. The narrative whether right or wrong will say he has revived BW from the dead and to get a grosser at Bahubali level (never mind the footfalls complaints from our fellow friends here who are right in their own ways) will be remembered for a long time specially considering the political climate in India with a Muslim lead and a Muslim name for a movie but purely leaving all this aside Vikram is cinema, Pathaan is just entertainment.
So Vikram >> Pathaan and Kamal Comeback >> SRK comeback but not by much 🙂

Agree with you about Kamal’s age and more importantly the fact that apart from Vishwaroopam and Dasavatharam, he hasn’t had a success in 15 years. SRK, in contrast, opened even a JHMS to 15 crore on a non holiday.
But Kamal has done action movies from Kuruthipunal to Dasavatharam to Vishwaroopam(with one of the massiest transformation scene).
SRK, being a romantic star, coming back like this with an action movie, no matter how mediocre in odds with his huge image and at this age, becoming a mass star is quite amazing.

I think SRK’s comeback is easily better and bigger. Not that Kamal Hassan was any less, but he wasn’t trolled, hated, and boycotted every now and then for the last decade, never mind the personal issues. Kamal took a break for politics, SRK took 1 year break when movies were not doing well. So, from being so down to suddenly comeback with 500 crs blockbuster is beyond incredible. He also shut everyone out, be it critics, media or boycott gang, and folks who enjoyed his downfall. This is by far the bigger success in any given day. To have blockbuster when chips are down is bigger tha someone coming back after a break.

Actually, Kamal’s been through a horrendous time at the box office. He had a lot of political trouble with the AIADMK, more movies were shelved than shot and the shot movies like Vishwaroopam 2 were extremely delayed. Even Sabash Naidu is still in limbo. Kamal smartly took to politics in a way that appealed to Tamilians and he got a big boost with Bigg Boss of all things, which he capitalized at the right time with the right person in Lokesh.
SRK’s comeback is special in that, he’s finally become a single screen and C centre accepted star. Which is amazing.

Uday Chopra could have been shoved down our throat with the production house they have but yet Adi/YRF didn’t do that. This shows that nepotism doesn’t work unless you’re truly talented and accepted by the PAYING AUDIENCE.
It also shows how serious/true Adi/YRF.
Adi explains it very well in the series.
This was all filmed prior to Pathaan but was interesting to see how SRK talks about that he thought Adi was coming with action film offer instead he came with DDLJ script. SRK wanted to so seriously do action film and it’s there in video from 28 years ago. SRK kind of forced the action sequence in DDLJ climax.

Maybe show how Shiv Hari was finalised for Chandni and how the script came to be for Lamhe. There were some good snippets like Adi Chopra telling his father that Lamhe would have worked better without showing the young Sridevi in the second half. But these were very few.
Maybe the series didn’t delve deep in the making because there could have been some dirty secrets behind the scenes. Who knows! 🤔

Unfortunately city planners are reactive and too much corruption. Delhi metro took so many years and they still are making new lines. Plannars need to forecast population growth in city and make plans accordingly; unfortunately voters vote only for present and immediate freebies. They don’t vote for smooth running of things. Even US, which looked so much better in roads couple of decades back, looks dilapidated at many places because of lack of funds or different priorities.

Frustrated for sure, but doubt if these caricatures can be called ‘men’. Its more like teenage bimbos touching and wetting their panties constantly, thinking continuously of YRF’s fake box office numbers. All the frustration for not delivering a hit for 10 long years had indeed taken its toll and caused this online orgy. On top of that, YRF has taken these fools for a ride with their fake numbers. Its a pitiable situation.
Btw, i had called out during Bhool Bhulaiya 2 that the movie’s success rode on sequel factor and remixed hit song, rather than on Kartik Aryan. Now Kartik’s followup Shehzada is just proving that point with Cirkus like box office numbers over opening weekend.

Marcus was saying even a day before release that I don’t see any excitement for Pathaan anywhere except his fans. I’ve reported real feedback that in US is highest for any Hindi film and I proved it right. SrK’s highest grosser in US was Chennai Express at 7.3 million and Pathaan is doing 16-17 million. Go figure if that’s not huge jump by any means. Calling fake collections is brainless at this point. UK record was 2.7 million and even 3 million would have been great but it did 4 million. Both US & UK collections proved that it broke previous records by 50%++ and its doing Exactly the same for Hindi movies in India. It can’t be fake just in India but overseas it can go to this unfathomable levels. Kuch bhi.

I think we should reduce 10 percent from the reported US and UK collections and add 2 multiplied by the Australia collections of MNIK. Reduce Secret Superstar’s China total and the WW figures of Dangal keeping Bahubali’s India collections constant and we will get the exact total of Pathaan

The only one capable of matching this feat in the near future seems to be Prabhas with his line up of films but I doubt he’d do 3 films in a single calendar year.

No mutated form of any virus can ever have an incubation period worth minutes and no smart spy whose formed a special unit like the JOCR would ever get honey trapped twice over. Only one relatable was Jim, surprisingly well played by John. Even at an emotional level Pathaan’s origin story is as shallow & forced as Brahmastra’s Shiva and not a patch on the nurses’ predicament in TZH or Khalid’s unfortunate origin tale in War. Its a dumb, cold and imbecile film with tacky VFX, juvenile dialogues (boobles for rubles, lambi imarat on suhaag raat) and only the hand combat fight scenes making it worthy apart from SRK and John’s swagger or Deepika’s arse.. none of which makes it more than a “watch it if there’s nothing better to do, that too as a guilty pleasure” category.

Kartik could have simply acted as normal hero, but he’s trying to copy Allu Arjun’s signature style and dialogues also, which is targeted to his local audience. That’s the biggest fail of Shehzada and they couldn’t get the tone of the original. So, both director and actor shares the burden for this failure.

Yes, SRK wore Gap hoodies in KKHH in 1998 (that’s bought in UK store by Karan (along with polo ralph, etc) and didn’t wanted to style his heroes with traditional clothes and ‘Mall of America’ as it’s more of college apparel fine 25 years back. I don’t see today’s youngsters wearing those and if anyone are wearing that, it’s not even a negative comment. Totally insane to keep commenting $5 Gap Tshirts (I don’t even know what those are priced at). But one thing is for sure Gap & SRK has no connection apart from anything in your head.

To write and enact such scenes requires great writers, directors, and mainly, actors par excellence. And that’s the reason they succeed to connect: Exactly Prithvi’s point, and I just expanded on it.

It’s unfortunate that it was sandwiched between three big films (pathaan, antman, and selfie from next week). On a holiday weekend with no other releases (an advantage that Pathaan had), it would have done wonders.

Agree 100%, Pathaan and Antman both made around 150 Cr this past weekend so it didn’t leave any room for shehzada to perform.
Today, Pathaan with 4th Monday and first monday antman will do about 50 Cr combined so it will leave shehzada to collect around 2.5 Cr only.
Selfie will have same advantage as Pathaan did where the huge fan base of MEGA MEGA Star Akshay fans will hold First Day First Show event which will ensure 1st day to be around 55 Cr like Pathaan.

Initially I suppose S Anand might have wanted to continue War as a parallel franchise until A Chopra decided otherwise. Perhaps why S Anand has dropped out of War 2 and focusing now on Fighter. As for Vikram Vedha, its failure due to factors completely out of control of the actor’s or maker’s hands have already been dissected. The same reason why Shahid suffered a dud in Jersey despite a pre pandemic historic blockbuster remake in Kabir Singh. Which is why I’m saying, be careful before flying high on Bholaa for now.

All imaginary stuff. War is actually Adi Chopra’s story, and he developed it quite a bit and then scouted for director and called Sid Anand. While making War, Sid Anand got an idea about another spy and how both could be overlapped. Pathaan’s story is completely Sid’s and no Aditya Chopra in it. Aditya Chopra suggested we mix Tiger also, and let’s keep Hrithik out for now and bring Tiger & Pathaan together for this movie. Sid Anand preferred to direct Pathaan over War2.
Fighter was the movie which was a discussion with Hrithik during Bang Bang until Adi Chopra called to direct War and then subsequent Pathaan happened and the work was happening on the side and he started the movie even before Pathaan released.

Yes I’ve heard Sid wanted to make a film called “Fighters” with HR & Tiger first before Adi Chopra sniffed out War. Either ways, both War and Pathaan are completely imbecile scripts. At least the former has some solid well choreographed action performances. TZH is the best story among the 4 films by a mile but Salman’s limitations end up making a potential solid spy actioner into another run of the mill film on the lines of War & Pathaan. Hopefully Fighter has a much smarter concept to complement HR in his perfect War/BB/Dhoom avatar.

Agree with Z overall. Though It is True that Bahubali-2 was a festival. Most of the cinema lover saw it in big screen (Though i watched it in Laptop becasue i got HD quality print). The Bahubali mania was there. Pathaan didn’t have that festival kind of euphoria but it is also a fact that lots and lots of people watched this. Though for different reasons
1- Anti Modi/BJP people watched it as a revolt against Hindu Majoritianism
2- Muslim population saw it because of Supremacy of Pathan and Bhai Jaan
3- Neutral People watched it because it is one time watch (Though barely watchable for me)
And now one major differance between Bahubali 2 and Pathaan.
Babubali 2 will be rememberd forever for its big scale spectacle. Many Memorable characters. Songs, Dilouge..Memes and Many-many things
Pathaan will be remebered just for its buisness and SRK’s spectecular Comeback. Nothing more..Nothing less. Other than this atleast for me there is nothing to remember in the film. This film will be rememberd in SRK’s filmography for just buisness sake. Even true SRK fan will remember a Flop Kabhi haan, Kabhi na or Swades over Pathaan.

@Bob,
You can slot the viewership but i don’t think you have any factual data. This is more of finding reasons to justify your views.
What is fact is that about 80% of India is Hindu and lot lot lot more hindu people saw Pathaan then muslim people in order for it to make 500 Cr.
As far as songs are concerned, i think two songs of Pathaan are being played at every party and event, not so much of Baahubali songs so again not sure what data you have to support this.
As far as if Pathaan will be remembered or not, come talk to me 5 years from now.
Not sure how old you are but i remember Amar Akbar Anthony and many Desai films were considered as a garbage film by critics of that era but they still get talked about today.
As far as SRK fans remembering flop swades or kabhi haan kabhi naa over Pathaan, again, your assumption.
For me, Pathaan will be remembered more because it became a statement film, it brought the Hindi film industry together where even Kangana Ranut supported it, it created like a festival mood for 2 weeks and first 6 days were unbelievable which BB2 didn’t accomplish either.
Keep in mind, this was not just in India, EVERY country it released in, it created HISTORY…

Kabhi Haan Kabhi Na was an Average fare. Unsurprisingly like most other superstars, SRKs best films are Average & small time hits. Desi audiences here in India as well as overseas are far more interested in watching their superstars performing cheap tricks on screen than making any sense out of the script or screenplay. And once an actor becomes a larger than life phenomenon, all the makers would do is cash in on his superstardom in exchange for any level of logic & sincerity at the content level. Even Amitabh Bachchan suffered from this megastar syndrome post 1979 where most of his Blockbusters like Suhaag, Naseeb, Coolie, Mard etc. were nothing short of silly imbecile films cashing in on his persona than attempting to create good content. Easily why Bachchan’s best phase was his earliest from 1973-78 and SRKs was from 1992-95 (which few exceptions like Swades & Chak De later on). In that sense its a lot better to have mid range stardom like that of Ajay or Akshay as that provides a batter scope for the makers attempting to use their brains & creating meaningful content than just cashing in on superstardom (since that’s non existent for these 2). Give me a Special 26, Baby, Airlift, Drishyam, Raid, Padman, Tanhaji or Drishyam 2 any day over any of the SRK-Salman films over the last decade. When larger than life superstars actually attempt a shift from commercial narcissistic porn to content driven cinema they deliver box office duds even with solid films like Silsila, Swades & Vikram Vedha (likes of CDI & Super 30 are pure exceptions).

Even at that time it was being told that this is SRK fan base turning up and i was saying that doesnt seem to be the case just seeing the number of shows getting sold out. I even know random theatre names in NLD and Austria due to this tracking.
When India opened all hell broke loose and though they opened limited screens they had to actually recalibrate their strategy as theatres were running out due to ‘SRK Fans’. Forget all this, find me 1 movie in BW where 6 am shows people were dancing in the halls. All this was done without any publicity – whatever was going on was organic craze and cannot be done by just SRK fans or fan clubs.
Will the movie be remembered in future?

** it’s SRK production and he will have lots of input and chances **
Another hog-wash and another, among multiple episodes of sand-bagging as highlighted by Jayshah. [By they way JS, thanks for supporting me on the horrific 9 crore prediction, by way of calling out the recent ‘numbers’ prediction from you know who.]
I read an interview of SRK a few years after SWADES was released. After the trial or premiere show of SWADES, when all were heaping praises on SWADES, SRK was the first one who called Ashu aside and said, and I paraphrase: Ashu, I think the film is too long. They had a discussion, and Ashu was vehement that he would hardly cut any scene. SRK then mentioned to the interviewer, that the first thought that came to his mind was – Let it go, Ashu has made the film with his heart, it is a noble film. And he let it go at that. If this is the level of SRK’s so-called ‘inputs’ and ‘interferences in script’, and this is used as a defense-shield, God save us. SRK is hardly the kind of actor who believes in making himself greater or getting a greater meat of the role, or even, for that matter, thinking that he is above the director. His appearances and his acts in his non-extending-arms roles like SWADES, FAN, RAEES, ZERO, or even his guest appearance in SAATHIYA [one of the most dignified guest-appearances ever played by him.] SRK is a director’s actor, period. [Just observe the scene in SWADES where SRK explains to his friend why he wants to return to India and work at the Vikram Sarabhai Space Center, you will get the gist.]
In that interview with Yash when he turned 80, I was dumb-struck when Yash mentioned that Amitabh would read a script like a kid memorizing; not even forgetting a semi-colon, a comma, or even a punctuation mark. I had always, and I still think, Amit had the lousiest script-sense ever. It requires a polisher to understand the true value of a diamond, and that’s where Amit was lucky, with directors and writers recognizing that here’s an actor who can deliver visually what we have evolved in our minds, our hearts, resulting in lines that have flown through the ink.
Carefully observe AB’s performances–I had posted a you-tube clip of AB and Dilip in SHAKTI above on the different ‘approaches’ to acting–where he pauses, thinks, or where he delivers his lines in a rush. You will get the meaning of what Yash meant, and why none of the modern actors, including the Khans, who cannot even talk, forget reading or writing in Hindi a complete sentence, can deliver the lines like AB.
The real ‘interferer’, if you will, was Aamir Khan, who will remain a greater artiste than a greater actor.

@Shivaay, glad you made this comment.
If there are any filmi personality that I’m fanatic of, it’s Raj Kapoor and Mohammed Rafi.
Raj Kapoor Produced/Directed/Acted in Aag at age of 24 and made hit Barsaat at age 25.
His directed movies like Sangam and Bobby are template for love stories.
Awara, Shree 420, are legendary.
Mera Naam Joker is a cult classic.
Ram Teri Ganga Maili was his biggest box office made at age of over 60.
Another example of someone who went away at top of his game.
I wish Kapoor as whole had taken care of themselves. So much talent that we didn’t get to see much of in old age due to health issues.
With Mohammed Rafi, it’s more of spiritual connection.

Pathaan Fourth Monday Business – Box Office India
http://www.boxofficeindia.com
Pathaan continues to edge towards the 500 crore nett mark as it collected 1.25 crore nett apprx on its fourth Monday. The fourth week should see the film put up a 14 crore nett apprx total and despite a huge number already up on the board and with competition it will still be among the top ten fourth weeks ever.
The 400 and 500 crore numbers are all good for headlines but the real victory is how far it has gone ahead of the other original Hindi films. The importance is that most of the other big ones came on festive periods which are best for business be it Xmas / New Year or Eid where the former can add 20-25% and the latter 10-15% for a good film of course. Sanju is an exception as it got 335 crore nett without a holiday.
Pathaan never had a holiday period but saw one big holiday which added around 10 crore extra to the film which is just 2%. It is that lethal combination of a big star, action and blockbuster songs and when these three things combine it has almost always been a victory for more than the last 50 years and then the content of the film decides how big the victory is. The collections of Pathaan (Hindi) till date are as follows.
Week One – 3,47,75,00,000 apprx (9 days)
Second Week – 90,25,00,000 apprx
Third Week – 44,65,00,000 apprx
Friday – 2,15,00,000 apprx
Saturday – 3,25,00,000 apprx
Sunday – 4,00,00,000 apprx
Monday – 1,25,00,000 apprx
Fourth Weekend – 10,65,00,000 apprx
TOTAL – 4,93,35,00,000 apprx

If Ajay was truly obsessive about Kaithi (good reason since its a solid film) he should have hired Lokesh or one of his assistants for Bhola. All his directorials have been exceptionally good technically but their screenplays have been so painstaking, you’d be tempted to believe its a directors cut than the actual edited version. Almost all good remakes right from the 80s have usually had the same folks helming the project, which makes me highly apprehensive of Bhola.
