Uri Is A Blockbuster - Outstanding Second Friday Friday 18 January 2019 19.30 IST Box Office India Trade Network Uri - The Surgical Strike has emerged a BLOCKBUSTER with insane collections on its second Friday with around 8 crore nett. It could even be the second Friday is bigger than the first Friday which has probably never happened to a film which opened at the levels of Uri - The Surgical Strike. The film will probably clear the 100 crore nett mark in its second weekend and possibly towards 175 crore nett or even more. The film is certain to cross 150 crore nett. The film saw a minimal drop in the mornings shows on the second Friday as collections in some places are actually higher than the first day. The patriotism and dialogues in the film have struck a chord and barring South India this film is doing huge numbers. The collections in Delhi NCR and East Punjab are more than some of the big 200 and 300 crore nett films on the second Friday. boxofficeindia.com/report-details.php?articleid=4636 |

Watched it, great movie overall. The action sequences are some of the best I have seen in a Bollywood movie and Vicky Kaushal gives a good performance. It seems like the younger stars are really taking over, I guess it was going to happen one day.

If actor keep doing romantic movies even after 25 years and follow rishi kapoor and Rajendra kumar footsteps then no surprise even small actor easily take over otherwise many actor ruling the roost even at age of 60-65 with action movies. Rajni kant, ajith, mamooty, mohanlal, from Bollywood Dilip kumar has given many big hit like vidhata, Kranti karma saudagar at 55 plus age. Even wooden actor salman going strong when he does action movie like sultan tiger zinda hai. |

Otherwise, John Abraham would be the biggest star in Bollywood & Force, Force 2, Dishoom would be ATBBs Lol you are giving above example which are actually successful movies except force2. And check production cost of those movies, music, cast, director etc still result was not that bad. action star doesn't mean bodybuilding else Bigb would never been biggest action star. Some times movie may turn worse still result won't like like bombay velvet, Rangoon or any other love story like jhms, zero, Lamhe etc. and whenever big star does action movie it always work if not then still have capable recovered cost but result won't be desastrous. |

Well, then let me give you another example RGV ki AagForce, Dishoom etc aren't big money spinners either. There is infact no concrete data to prove that Action movies rule the roost. Last year's biggest hit Sanju was by no means an Action Movie. Bollywood's biggest hit Dangal can't be classified as Action either. |

Except thugs of hindustan every movie has done good theatrical business. Even thug 140 Cr is still ok (it is flop based on economics) if you don't consider its budget. Other hand if love story don't clicked with audience then it has face outright rejection especially for older actor. Srk himself is biggest romantic hero but his action movie never failed at bo right from bazigar, Karan Arjun josh Don mhn raees ramjane etc despite he is not giving importance to action movie. |

You figured out!
Action films is the way to go, now let’s hope that those thick headed producers in BW start to produce action movies, hits guaranteed.
Nonsense of course. Action films have the same flop/hit ratio as any other genre, otherwise no one would even bother to make dramas,love stories, comedy etc Don’t you think ?

Still there are not flop There is infact no concrete data to prove that Action movies rule the roost. There is no concrete data but 80% action movie work while only 20% love stories or other genre works. This is not by by me check history since 1970 you will get big hit are action movies with more footfall. Movie like mukaddar ka Sikander or gadar kaho na pyar hai has core story is romance but these movie has very good action. Last year's biggest hit Sanju was by no means an Action Movie. Bollywood's biggest hit Dangal can't be classified as Action either. Yes sanju was big hit but not bigger than tiger zinda hai. And again this is fall in 20% |

Action films have the same flop/hit ratio as any other genre, otherwise no one would even bother to make dramas,love stories, comedy etc Don’t you think ? Nah I disagree as well, love stories especially aren't nearly as popular as action movies anymore..I feel like that's pretty clear. Not even the romantic movies from the younger stars are that successful. In the 90's and early 2000's it was the most popular genre in BW but it's milked out now. Drama's and comedies are still popular too (former if done right like Dangal can beat action movies too) but action movies (Rohit shetty/salman khan type especially) are often the safe option to success (not always but the flop/hit ratio is different from other genre's). Even SRK still got hits with movies like HNY and Dilwale while with romance he failed. |

Plus Ranbir isn't half as big a star as Salman. As I said, there is no data available to say that action films will work despite good script. For every Muqaddar Ka Sikander there is a Silsila. For every Gadar, there is DDLJ or HAHK. |

Phamous
Paltan
Turning Point
Dassehra
Bhaiaji
Tumbbad
Like bushroda said only 20% of the films produced are deemed a success within those 20% only 4% are action films.
I am not sure how you came to that conclusion

None of above are comparable to jhms in terms of starcast budget production values etc. give me one action movie with decent starcast and budget which Is outright flop like zero, jhms, bombay velvet etc. and for your information general audience don't know name of above movie let alone watching it |

For every Gadar, there is DDLJ or HAHK. Read carefully first my all above comments I am arguing on rom com movie which have zero action scene. And bajrangi bhaijan was not Ron com and though it is not fully action movie but salman's character has presented as a savior and it is well made drama movie If closely analizef dangal and sultan both are some sort of action movie. Isn't wrestling is a part of action one is winning while other is losing. This is people want to watch on big screen. Sanju pk are not action movie but certenly not romantic movie. And hirani has is own touch and still he will not make any romantic movie. And these are only few exception which are small in quant compared to action from gajini, dabang, singham rowdy rathod to simba And you are comparing wrong movie with mukaddar ka Sikander one is atbb and other is flop. Yes for every Gadar there is Ddlj or hahk but later 2 has came when both srk and salman were below 30 while gadar came when sunny was 40 plus. Sunny, jacky, kumar gaurav, salman Amir have given romantic hit in their initial stage but moved on to other genre like action comedy sooner or later. And we already seen how srk failed badly with jhms and zero which didn't got face saving initial. Srk has lucky that he proved longest period almost 2 decade as a romantic star and now he has golden chance to prove action star and he got God gifted charisma that he can excel both action and romantic star unlike Rajesh khanna, Rajendra kumar or rishi kapoor who faded away immediately once their romantic image over. |

Don't want to go too off topic but I don't think SRK has it in him to be a proper action star, he is no Salman in this regard. He was always the best at romance compared to the rest from his generation and that's why he found lots of success because of that for like two decade's but this decade he should have really stopped after JTHJ at least. But going action isn't the answer but instead I think movies like Chak de India showed that he can work well with content driven & grounded movies. That's the direction he should go with imho but it would be best to keep this in the topic about "What SRK should do next", not here |

Not sure when the Rom Com thing got into picture because the entire debate started with the argument of how meaningless Action movies do big business. You even gave example of Baaghi2 earning 160 crores when it wasn't even worth 60 crores. Now you are changing the goal post entirely to RomComs. 1st of all in Bollywood, there are any hardly full action or half action movies (except for TZH which was a fullon action movie). Bollywood movies are masala movies which have got Romance, action, comedy, drama. Amount of these genres can vary in each movie but to some degree every ingrediant has to be there. Dangal by no mean is an action movie. It is classified as Sports drama in the same league as CDI, Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander. It was the story of Dangal which captivated the audience. If people were only interested in Action then Vivek Khatkar's Lahore released in 2010 would've been an ATBB. Now, as far as your argument of Rom Com is concerned then YJHD released in 2012 was a blockbuster. If your argument of actors over 40 not accepted as romantic heroes is concerned then Akshay Kumar recently played in Rustom which can be classified as a Romantic thriller & again in TEPK which can be classified as Romantic drama. Obviously, Romance has an age bracket & people usually don't prefer 40+ actors romancing 20+ heroines. But that doesn't mean there is an outright rejection towards them. However to bring you back to your early argument (without unnecessary deviations in Rom Coms etc) which was that Uri is successful because Action movies always work, I have presented to you sufficient case studies where action movies have severely failed. Other members too have posted sufficient examples for you to go through |

Dangal sultan cdi jjws Lagan all are classified sport movie agree but again this is one sort of action because there are matches/clashes between 2 teams 2 players that people always want to watch on big screen and likes their star or team winning against opponents Amir is not that dumb to reject documentary movie like swades or salute he knows that there is no scope for entertainment. |

L et him do first then decideHaven't you seen his flamboyance in deewana bazigar darr etc. and action doesn't mean building body or fighting with 10 goons. It is intensity, swag, dialogue delivery which srk can do very well. But he himself mounded romantic star post DDLJ.still there is a time he can do movie like Raees Don. Sorry mod for off topic |

Sorry mod for off topic Yeah but Salman already reinvented himself 10 years ago. SRK is just too old at this point to suddenly go the action hero way. Action in BW means exactly having a top body + fighting dozens of goons at once. He can do a Don 3 or stuff like that (which fits his style) but focus should be on movies that fit his age. |

If people were only interested in Action then Vivek Khatkar's Lahore released in 2010 would've been an ATBB. Now, as far as your argument of Rom Com is concerned then YJHD released in 2012 was a blockbuster. If your argument of actors over 40 not accepted as romantic heroes is concerned then Akshay Kumar recently played in Rustom which can be classified as a Romantic thriller & again in TEPK which can be classified as Romantic drama. Obviously, Romance has an age bracket & people usually don't prefer 40+ actors romancing 20+ heroines. But that doesn't mean there is an outright rejection towards them. However to bring you back to your early argument (without unnecessary deviations in Rom Coms etc) which was that Uri is successful because Action movies always work, I have presented to you sufficient case studies where action movies have severely failed. Other members too have posted sufficient examples for you to go through If you have watched baagi2 then give me simple answer, is movie good or bad and it really deserved 160 Cr? ranbeer given blockbuster in rom com genre agree but he was below 30 then. I am sure he won't do after 40 plus ranveer is slowly movie toward action If rustam tepk are rom com then sholay Karan Arjun must be romantic action. Dangal sultan cdi jjws Lagan all are classified sport movie agree but again this is one sort of action because there are matches/clashes between 2 teams 2 players that people always want to watch on big screen and likes their star or team winning against opponents Amir is not that dumb to reject documentary movie like swades or salute he knows that there is no scope for entertainment. Well, I watched Ye Jawaani Hai Diwaani & frankly I don't believe even that movie deserved 180 Cr. I tried to watch PRDP & couldn't bear more than 30 minutes. I frankly don't understand how that movie could make 200+ crores. But then there is no ISO certification available for entertainment. It is all left to Individual's taste buds. What is good for goose may not necessarily be good for the gander. With regard to Rustom, TEPK, I've already told you that they are classified as ROMANTIC THRILLER & ROMANTIC DRAMA respectively. Romance was still a very strong undercurrent in both the movies. As for pure romance with actors over 40, Amitabh probably gave his solo hit in a long time in Rom-Com Cheeni Kum in 2007. I am sure, if a good script can be brought that can capture people's imagination, top actor can deliver a much bigger hit. When did Sports get equated to Action? How can a competition between 2 teams or individuals get classified as any sort of action? In Bollywood movies, people always associate themselves with characters & root for their favorite character. In a sports drama, they'll root for a team or character playing sportsman just the same way they were rooting for Raj over Kuljeet in DDLJ. In the end, it is all about Paisa vasool entertainment irrespective of whether it is an action movie satiating their blood lust, or a sports drama, or a rom-com uplifting their spirit. |

Watched this. A solid movie. Action and Vicky's acting are the standout points.
Why has this thread descended into a box office fight lol
