Baaghi has emerged the biggest success on television of the films released this year so far which have had a television premiere. There are a couple of big films like Sultan and Housefull 3 which have been released but are yet to have a television premiere. There are also some releases below which were 2015 releases but had television premieres this year but barring Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, Baaghi is still ahead of them all. It has better ratings than Dilwale, Bajirao Mastani, Fan and Airlift. Baaghi fetched 21 crore apprx for its television rights and will be a comfortable earner which can't be said for many of the other releases.



Sanam Re which could not get an audience at the theatres managed a strong television rating thanks to the huge popularity of its title song which was a super hit across the country. Sanam Re and Ghayal Once Again are the only two films of 2016 which got more television impressions than cinema footfalls. Below are the television ratings of films shown on television this year. The rating are impressions (BARC) which is basically the number of television sets that viewed the films on their respective premieres.






1. Prem Ratan Dhan Payo - 2,51,19,000

2. Baaghi - 69,88,000

3. Dilwale - 67,61,000

4. Sanam Re - 56,66,000

5. Bajirao Mastani - 54,76,000

6. Ghayal Once Again - 38,61,000

7. Fan - 34,18,000

8. Neerja - 19,73,000

9. Airlift - 19,01,000

10. Kapoor & Sons - 12,65,000



The shocker is Airlift which is a disaster on television despite the presence of Akshay Kumar who has a line of blockbusters on television. Airlift fetched around 26 crore and most of that will be lost. Neerja was another highly rated film by writers in media who went practically mad on the film and was said to be one of the most appreciated films of recent times but figures tell a different story. After just 66 lakh footfalls and that huge hype post release, it hardly got a audience after that.



Its shows box office hits can come with correct budgets and aimed at that limited audience at high end multiplexes who are prepared to pay high ticket rates but true appreciation from viewers is a different story altogether. Baaghi is supposed to have not found appreciation and to a certain degree there is truth in that but what can't be true is that Neerja has huge appreciation and Baaghi has little appreciation. Below is a comparisons of the two films in cinema and television and the gaps tell the story. This is just not the initial story but also what has happened six months down the line.



Neerja

Cinema Footfalls - 66,23,000

TV Impressions - 19,73,000

TOTAL - 85,96,000



Baaghi

Cinema Footfalls - 95,16,000

TV Impressions - 69,88,000

TOTAL - 1,65,04,000



A couple of years back it was trying to be fed that Queen was more appreciated than Kick. This is all pretty funny looking at it from the outside and these writers / critic types can probably say anything because its probably their own opinion and done without data but should it not be about truth rather than opinion. Eventually there has to be a correlation between appreciation and viewership especially when its happening when the word on the product is out there is the public domain.



Another point to note is that Dilwale in the final count has come out ahead of Bajirao Mastani in overseas, television, music and digital and only down in India theatrical as the film was weak but even there the gap would have been hardly anything if that intolerance thing against Shahrukh Khan did not affect the film in Punjab, Haryana, UP, MP, Gujarat, Bihar and Maharashtra.



Prem Ratan Dhay Payo is the highest rated film on television since satellite television started while Bajrangi Bhaijaan is second and remains to be seen if Sultan gives Salman Khan a clean sweep with the top three on television. Earlier Doordarshan screenings will have higher numbers but there were no figures recorded at the time.



But bigger than all is that a couple of days prior to Baaghi premiere on television, one of the biggest hits of Hindi cinema Sholay featuring Dharmendra, Sanjeev Kumar, Hema Malini, Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Badhuri and Amjad Khan picked up 47,21,000 impressions which is just insane for a film 41 years old. After possibly hundreds and hundreds of screenings the historic blockbuster still ranked above a new big budget cast film like Fan and many other new releases.

 

The GROSS business of Sultan and Bajrangi Bhaijaan is very alike at 420 crore apprx. The GROSS is the amount collected at ticket windows before applying entertainment tax. There will so many vague reasons given as to why Sultan remained below Bajrangi Bhaijaan but that is only in NETT collections. In real it has not really stayed below as the amount collected at the box office is similar. Just applying taxes gives it a NETT figure which is 15 crore short. The reason for a lower NETT figure is not in the music, canvas, action or romance but because of tax.



Delhi / UP is the main reason. Sultan grossed 91.64 crore in the circuit and the nett came to 60.62 crore while Bajrangi Bhaijaan grossed 92.45 crore and the nett came to 70.62 crore. Similar GROSS figures but 10 crore difference in NETT figures. Below are the final comparison of GROSS business for Sultan and Bajrangi Bhaijaan for all circuits in India.

Pink did well on Saturday as it showed had huge growth of around 80%. The film is on the lines of Neerja and Piku not only is the growth on Saturday similar but it is the same audience of high end multiplexes which is making the film work. Some of these theatres in Mumbai, Pune and Delhi were actually showing good collections and hitting 60-65% occupancy. Other A centres like a Lucknow or Ludhiana also had strong growth but the collections there still remain average while mass circuits like CPCI and Bihar remain poor despite big growth on Saturday but the film does not really need these markets to perform and can get away with its high end multiplex performance.. The metros will take the film to success and Monday will decide if the film can be a hit as costs are reasonable. Below is the first two day business of Pink.



Friday - 4,19,00,000

Pink has scored very well at high end multiplexes to record good first week collections. The first week collections of the film are 35.75 crore nett apprx The film had a decent weekend but the trend did suggest good weekday holds but they have been better than could have been expected with Thursday being very similar to the business on Monday. The collections of the film were slightly less than Neerja over the weekend but have finished the week higher than that film. This basically suggests better lifetime business than Neerja but the tax exemptions for Neerja may get in the way so a better comparison will be GROSS business. The film has fared best in Mumbai, Pune Delhi NCR, East Punjab, Kolkata and Bangalore. Outside these places the business is average to poor due to less presence of high collecting multiplexes.






Raaz Reboot on the other hand has failed with first week collections of around 22.75 crore nett. The weekend was poor and the collections dropped badly on the weekdays. The film has more footfalls than Pink over the weekend despite lower collections but over the week even the footfalls are below Pink by around 3 lakhs. The film had average collections at some single screens when it opened but the genre has to open well at single screens and not average as support from multiplexes will be less. The way occupancy was over the weekdays it is a big ask for the film to get to 30 crore nett. Its the worst performer of the Raaz brand by a distance with the first film being best followed by the third film and then the second film while Raaz Reboot is fourth.
