The year has
been a disaster till date (till date because Dangal may rescue it somewhat) but there have been a couple of films that have shone. One is Sultan and the other is The Jungle Book, these two films are the only real hits of the year from universal box office to universal appreciation across the country. The Jungle Book grossed around 188 crore nett in a twenty week run. The run was more than double what the biggest Hindi films achieve.



The India GBOC of the film at 255 crore is more than the Worldwide GBOC of all Hindi releases barring Sultan. That includes films like Airlift, Housefull 3, Rustom, M.S. Dhoni - The Untold Story and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. After a huge box office run the film has now taken television by storm by easily smashing all records for a Hollywood film. In fact like the box office it has fared better than many big Hindi films. The film has achieved the sixth highest rating of films premiered on television this year while it is 5th highest of films released this year. The ratings for 2016 are below and show impressions 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. Sultan - 1,13,10,000

3. The Flying Jatt - 98,43,000

4. Dishoom - 95,44,000

5. Housefull 3 - 78,16,000

6. The Jungle Book - 75,51,000

7. Baaghi - 69,88,000

8. Dilwale - 67,61,000

9. Sanam Re - 56,66,000

10. Bajirao Mastani - 54,76,000



The Jungle Book is also the biggest Hollywood blockbuster in India in terms of inflation adjusted figures as it beat the 180 crore nett adjusted figure of Titanic released in 1998.

 

The Jungle Book had a 22 week run across theatres in India while no Hindi film has even managed to last ten weeks in the theatres this year. The fifth week figures of the film are the third highest ever after legendary films like 3 Idiots and Gadar. The sixth week goes even better with second highest figures of all time after Gadar. This film shows what a real content film can do as acceptance comes from all over as compared to Hindi content films which limit themselves to a minority audience and are talked about more than what they actually achieve. The first day to lifetime ratio is also more than the Hindi content films be it Neerja, Pink or Piku and here its not starting from a poor 4-5 crore level but more than double that. The lifetime collections of The Jungle Book are as follows.
