The last quarter of 2015 was much better in terms of box office business compared to the rest of the year. There was two 200cr films, one 100cr hit, one average hit and two sleeper hits with comparatively new cast.
Lets have a quick month wise recap of the Hindi movies in fourth quarter of 2015.
October
The month of October begins with Akshay Kumar starer "Singh Is Bling", a comedy directed
by Prabhudeva. Just like other three quarters Akshay Kumar delivered yet another average hit with a collection near about 90cr. It was his fourth consecutive success for this year. Another movie which was released on the same day was "Talwar" , a fictionalized story based on a true event. It was a hard hitting realistic film with wonderful script and superb performances by Irrfan and others. This film did well as per its budget and commercial perspective and earned around 22cr which is more than expected for such a movie with lesser commercial appeal.
The biggest surprise hit of this month was "Pyaar Ka Punchnama2". It was almost similar to its prequel, a guys film told with guys point of view. It took an average opening but due to good word of mouth publicity and some fine comic performances by the lead actors it became popular among youth audiences very rapidly and earn around 62cr in its lifetime business. Considering its small budget it can be easily said a super hit.
This month also witnessed two big flops one was Aishwarya Rai Bachhan's comeback movie "Jazzba", another one was director Vikas"Queen"Bahal's "Shaandaar" featuring Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt. It was Alia's first flop of her career.
November
This was the month of Diwali and this Diwali the talk of the town was #PremIsBack. This
Diwali the big release was Salman Khan starer "Prem Ratan Dhan Payo" directed by Sooraj Barjatya. Like any other Rajshri Production film it was also about family bonding and moral values and Salman Khan played a character which is very different from his Action hero image. But no matter what type of film it is or whatever character Salman is playing when it is a Salman Khan starer it is bound to get a big opening and the same happened with this movie too.It got big opening day collection of 40.32cr and entered in 100cr club withing first weekend. The first week collection went to around 172cr. Although later the collections dropped which was quite obvious as it was not that kind of film to connect with Salman fans. As a result its lifetime collections remained limited to 207cr.
The other big release of this month was Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone starer "Tamashaa" directed by Imtiaz Ali. It was once again a complicated tale of human relationships with wonderful performances by the leading pair. It got a good opening and earn 52cr in its first week,but as the director had given quite unusual treatment to the film which created disappointment for some people who found it a bit boring. Which affected the collections after first weekend. Finally it earned around 62cr in its lifetime.
December
The month of December began with small film called "Hate Story3", trade analysts hardly had any big expectation with this non starers, but surprisingly it got a huge opening of 9cr and recovered its budget in just two days. Later on its kept on doing good business with its only USP that was adult content. In its lifetime it earned 50cr which is really huge for such a small film.
After this Bollywood got its biggest Friday and biggest clash of this year which was Shahrukh
Khan's "Dilwale" and Sanjay Leela Bhanshali directed "Bajirao Mastaani". People had expectations from both the movies and both had the potential to be big hits on their own way . So obviously these two movies got good openings and did good enough business at the box office. As predicted "Dilwale" got better opening than "Bajirao Mastaani" but the opening for both films were lesser than expected and it happened because the screens got divided in this face off. From the very first day people loved "Bajirao Mastaani" and on the other hand the response was not so good for "Dilwale". It showed in the box office collection of the movies. "Dilwale" did better business but only for first weekend because of the advance bookings. From the first Monday, collection started being better for "Bajirao Mastaani" and after 12 days finally "Bajirao mastaani" beat the business of "Dilwale". In final run both the movies became winners at box office with more than 130cr.
On a whole the last quarter have provided some good movies and good amount of money at the box office. We hope next year will be even better.
