The second quarter of 2015 was much better than the first quarter in terms of box office business. There was the first 100cr film of this year in this quarter. Mostly small budget movies made it big with their wonderful content.
Lets have a quick month wise recap of the Hindi movies in second quarter of 2015.
April
This month was quite low at box office in comparison to the last two months of the 2nd quarter.
The first big release of April was "Detective Byomkesh Bakshy" , a detective thriller directed by Dibakar Banerjee and produced by Yashraaj Films. Everybody was eagerly waiting for the film because of the director and production house. Another attraction was of course Sushant Singh Rajput in the title role. The film got a good opening but the mixed reaction from critics as well as from the audiences limited its final run at the box office to just near about 26 crores.
Another big movie of this month was Sunny Leone starer "Ek Paheli Leela". It had a good
enough dose of adult entertainment provided by the leading lady of course and also the music was quite good and popular, all these factors worked for the movie and it helped the movie to gain around 26 crores which is big enough for such a small movie.
There were several other releases including Paresh Rawal's religion confusion drama "Dharam Shankat Me", Emraan Hashmi's invisible act in "Mr. X" and Kalki Koechlin starer festival favorite "Margarita With A Straw". None of these movies can bring any luck to box office.
May
The month of May got a good start with Akshay Kumar's "Gabbar Is Back". With the star power of Akshay Kumar this movie got a business of 40 crore in first weekend and a overall collection of around 86 crore. As a result it became Akshay Kumar's second hit in a row this year.
The success of "Gabbar" was followed by a small sweet and simple film about a father daughter relationship "Piku". It was directed by Shoojit Sirkar and the main cast has three talented actors Amitabh Bachchan, Irrfan and Deepika Padukone. The heart touching emotions, simple story telling , funny dialogues and wonderful acting by the whole cast made this film a favorite among audiences as well as critics. As a result in spite of getting only 5 crore opening it earned a total of around 80 crores at the box office and became a big hit.
The third successful film of this month was "Tanu Weds Manu Returns", the sequel to the
2011 rom-com. This time they back with the same team but with more humor and more entertainment. The acting by Kangana Ranaut in her double role grabs everyone's attention.
This movie was loved so much by the audience and critics that it became the first 100 cr hit of this year and the biggest hit so far with a collection of 150 crore.
There were some disasters in this month like Sunny Leone's adult comedy "Kuchh Kuchh Locha Hai" and Vasu Bhagnani's yet another attempt to relaunch his son Jacky, "Welcome To Karachi". But the biggest disaster of this month and probably of this year was "Bombay Velvet", the dream project of Anurag Kashyap featuring big stars like Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma.
June
The month of June started with a much awaited film "Dil Dhadakne Do" directed by Zoya Akhtar. This was a multi starer which was dealing about the problems of a super rich family.
The film got a good start mostly because of the high level expectations but later the collections kept dropping as it was not up to the mark with the sky high expectations. Still it worked and became an average earner with around 76 crore , mostly because of the performances by Anil kapoor, Priyanka Chopra and Ranveer Singh.
The second release was "Hamari Adhuri Kahani" , yet another movie with high expectations because of the last big hit by the director Mohit Suri. Unfortunately this time Mohit could not create the magic at the Box office with this romantic movie. It also proves that both Emraan Hashmi and Vidya Balan have lost the golden touch at the box office.
The third release was "ABCD2" , the sequel to the sleeper hit "ABCD". This 3D dance drama
got the highest opening day collections of 2015 and became much bigger hit than the first part. Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor were once again proved lucky at the box office. The wonderfully choreographed dance sequences worked in favor of the movie and it became a hit with a collection of around 90 crores in just two weeks. even there is a possibility that it can enter in 100 cr club.
On a whole the second quarter have provided some good movies and good amount of money at the box office. We are hopeful about the next quarter which have some big releases lined up to release specially in July on Eid.
