They will make sure BB2 will remain no.1. My partner (in my second movie) bought distribution rights to Baahubali 1 for Karnataka State. While the trades and paid media were reporting bogus grosses of Rs. 79 crores in Karnataka, the actual was Rs. 43 Crores. So, the only Bahubali 2 grosses that are trustworthy are the ones tracked by Rentrak locations like USA, Australia, UK etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't there tax implications of overreporting that much. 2 minutes ago, The Dark Rock said: No..BB2 seems to be heading towards 1400-1500crrs inr as per Taran Adarsh while Dangal will do around 1200crrs What is the china number you are projection for Dangal.

So they cleverly release these exaggerated grosses through media outlets, which they will deny come tax time and quote a much lower gross. That is standard operating practice in Indian film industry. Bollywood has gotten a lot better with the advent of Hollywood studious into India. The southern film industries grosses are filled with massive exaggerations. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys, I don't mean just Baahubali team, the film producer/Distributor community and some brokers just report fake numbers. These fake grosses are used to sell movies to local distributors. The other reason for the fudge is to please the fans of various heroes who essentially duke it out online with fake numbers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium George Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 In bollywood , this is less but some producers do it. Krishh 3 started reporting it's gross rather than nett to report on breaking records. It's figure of 230 is highly controversial with many sites reporting 179 instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems to happen a lot with Hrithik Roshan movies. I have heard that Rajesh Roshan was responsible for the fudge. You are right in that Bollywood seems to have its act together for the most part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just had/are having a bit too high expectations. For me, the grosses for Rogue One & Beauty and the Beast, are good/normal. China gross: Rogue One = $69M BATB (2017) = $85M And you call yourself a chinese box office expert? Shame on you. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
