TZP is a hit for sure.. but the #s in the article above do not make sense.

See www.boxofficeindia.com .. TZP is nowhere close to OSO.

I was surprised myself ... 77cr sounded too high to me ..although for a fair analysis, you need to normalise the collections given that TZP ticket prices have come down considerably after getting tax free status across several states.

I doubt it would make as much in absolute terms as OSO, but would be a much higher RoI project .. and, if I am not mistaken, these agencies look at the figure of collections over expenses while giving out terms such as average, hit, superhit etc. Hence a Mangal Pandey despite collecting much more over the first two weeks was still an average at best and a Murder despite collecting much lower than Mangal Pandey has been declared a hit.

Anyway, way too confusing and does not really matter much.

I agree the #s can be confusing. The #s generally reported everywhere are NET of expenses.

Whatever the #s, OSO and TZP cannot be compared on collections .. when you do apples to apples comparison. Welcome - due to its mass appeal - could reach OSO levels.

Oh, didnt know that they report net of expenses. Looks rather unlikely at least here in India .. else every film appears to have made good money of late.

Apples to apples in this case will have to be volumes and not value .. coz ticket prices have come off to allow for the ent tax waiver. I agree Welcome will gross more than TZP and maybe close to OSO.
