Q. Is Raid a bigger film than Drishyam in terms of box office and budget and what opening does the advance booking of the film suggest? Also can it beat the opening numbers of Pad Man?
M. Shukla
A. The film is a bigger film than Drishyam in terms of cost. As far as box office goes that all depends on content but it should open better than Drishyam as a bigger production than that film and generally more for the initial audience.
Today very few films get an advance, its mainly the event films and the big holiday releases and the advance tells nothing about the opening as 95% of the films are about that Friday audience and this is the case for Raid as it has been for all films this year. Even Padmaavat as the advance was slow to open but that was for other reasons.
On our assessment Pad Man numbers will be difficult but its not as if you totally discount it as a 9.75 crore nett opening day is not too hard.

Q. Can the all languages worldwide figures be put up on the website before the end of the year as both Secret Superstar and Bajrangi Bhaijan are around 1000 crore plus.
A. Pathan
A. Maybe when the run of Bajrangi Bhaijaan finishes in China then there can be a post but a 1000 crore does not likely for both films.
Q. You have said that Aamir Khan is a huge star in China but now Salman Khan should be also as Bajrangi Bhaijaan will do 250-300 cr there?
J. Warghese
A. Aamir Khan has been building brand there for the last 7-8 years by going there whenever his films release and interacting with the media and audiences but this is not the case with Salman Khan so there will be a difference. It does not happen overnight and depends on the actor to push it if the films are being liked.
