The third quarter of 2015 was much better in terms of box office business. There was the first 300cr film of this year in this quarter. Few other movies too did a good business in the 70-80 cr range.
Lets have a quick month wise recap of the Hindi movies in third quarter of 2015.
July
This month was the best of this quarter with the only 300 cr+ film of the year so far which was "Bajrangi Bhaijaan".
The first big hit of this month was south Indian blockbuster "Bahubali". This S.Rajamouli
directed film created history. It became the first Hindi dubbed south Indian language movie to cross 100 cr mark. It was released in too many languages as a dubbed film , all over India and abroad and in every language version it got fantastic response. The visual effects were the best of any Indian movie so far. Overall it collects 500 cr + worldwide.
The next big release of this month was Salman Khan starer Eid release "Bajrangi Bhaijaan". As expected it got a tremendous opening and enters in 100 cr club in the first weekend. It continues its extra ordinary business because of the heart touching story and also for the fantastic performance by Salman Khan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and the little wonder Harshali Malhotra. On the final run it became the biggest hit of this year so far and the second biggest hit of all time with the collection of 320 cr.
The last release of this month was Ajay devgan and Tabu starer "Drishyam". This film was a South Indian remake but not a regular commercial remake rather it had a gripping story and some wonderful acting by the leading cast. This thriller was highly appreciated by the audiences and as a result it became a hit with around 76 cr collection. The fans of Ajay Devgan were very much delighted to see Ajay Devgan in a meaningful role after a long time.
August
The box office response in the month of August was quite low compared to July. The only
big hit of this month was Karan Johar's production "Brothers". It earned around 82 cr at the box office.It was a story of two separated brothers in the background of MMA(mixed martial arts). The film got good response and both Akhshay Kumar and Siddharth Malhotra's performances were highly appreciated. The action sequences featuring Martial Atrs were designed extremely well.
Apart from that there were no big commercial success. Though Nawazuddin Siddiqui starer "Manjhi - The Mountain Man" was appreciated by some section of audiences mostly because of the extra ordinary performance by the leading man Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Apart from that Saif Ali Khan and Katrina Kaif starer "Phantom" also got an average response at the box office but considering the high budget of this film, based on global terrorism, we can not say it was a box office gainer.
September
The month of September got a really wonderful opening with "Welcome back" , which was a
sequel to the 2007 hit comedy "Welcome", though some of people thought it was actually a remake of the original in the name of a sequel. Once again the brother duo Uday bhai and Majnu Bhai played by Nana Patekar and Anil kapoor win the heart of the audiences with their superb comic timing. This film took a wonderful start and earn 50 cr in its first weekend. Though its collection dropped later but finally it managed to register 95 cr at the box office.
It followed by some flops which include two back to back flops in two consecutive weeks
"Hero" and "Katti Batti" , both directed by Nikhil Advani. Also Madhur Bhandarkar failed to impress masses as well as critics with his latest "Calendar Girls".
Finally the funny man of Television Kapil Sharma brings back the smile on cinema owner's faces with his Bollywood debut "Kis Kis Ko Pyaar Karoon". It was directed by director duo Abbas-Mastaan who are mostly famous for their thrillers. So lots of people were doubtful about the film but when it released it witnessed a really unexpected good response from the audiences. It earned around 28 cr in its opening weekend which is pretty good for a new comer Hero's movie. Hopefully it will cross 50 crore mark easily in its lifetime business, considering the response of the audience we can hope for even more.
On a whole the third 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 Diwali and Christmas which includes Salman Khan's "Prem Ratan Dhan Payo" and Shahrukh Khan's "Dilwale".
