Predictions - 10 Titles likely to be released by YRF? Let's see who gets it right

[kailashu]

My predictions:

1) New York - Everyone knows this
2) Chak De India
3) Dhoom
4) Salaam Namaste
5) DDLJ
6) KKHH
7) Kal Ho Naa Ho
8) Dhoom 2
9) Black
10) Veer Zaara

[Blu-Curry]

I think it'll be their 10 highest grossing films from the years 2000-2009. I can't find the list yet, but i wouldn't be surprised though if at least 1 title is from the 90's.

I think both Kuch Kuch Hota Hai & K3G were dharma productions and not yash raj! Although I think Yash Raj films distributed both of them!

I won't give any predictions, but for reference, here are Yash Raj Films biggest moneymakers, apart from New York and the eighties films whose figures aren't available:

1. Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge
2. Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi
3. Dhoom 2
4. Chak De! India
5. Mohabbatein
6. Dil To Pagal Hai
7. Fanaa
8. Veer Zaara
9. Bachna Ae Haseeno
10. Bunty Aur Babli

If you add in the movies that are distributed but not produced by Yash Raj films, the list looks like this:

1. Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge
2. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai
3. Kabhi Kushi Kabhie Gham
4. Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi
5. Dhoom 2
6. Krrish (though I believe Adlabs distributes it on home video)
7. Chak De! India
8. Mohabbatein
9. Dil To Pagal Hai
10. Fanaa

I'm surprised it beat out the first Dhoom film.

They will be released by Yash Raj Films, (I hope) I was just saying that Yash Raj Distributed them! They were not produced by them!

There's a guy from Ebay UK selling New york Blu Ray, I emailed to ask if he had the BD in stock. He said he would get more stock in next week Is there anybody out there that actually has this BD?? Am starting to think its not even out yet!

It's not out yet man. The speculation is it will be available during September.

Some of Yash Raj best movies....these would be worth the wait if they ever do get release onto the Blu format.

Bachna Ae Haseeno, Bunty Aur Babli and Ta Ra Rum Pum all beat out the first Dhoom, which is Yash Raj Films' 12th biggest moneymaker (16th if you add in Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, Dostana, Koi Mil Gaya and Kal Ho Naa Ho which were distributed by YRF but not produced by them)

Bachna Ae Haseeno grossed over 36 crores in India, while Dhoom grossed "only" 29 crores.

Their biggest flop is probably Neal N' Nikki, though I can't confirm this 100%.

This is interesting. Your post implies that the UK Ebay person has no stocks. But currently, probably, the same Ebay person indicates he/she has more than 10 in stock.

Please report any inconsistencies to Ebay at the first instance. If Ebay does not take corrective action it can be taken up with the authorities. Misleading consumers and false advertising is an offence in the UK – the Consumer Commission is strict on false Ebay advertising.

Uk Ebay seller: m.hussain7, New York Blu Ray Disc NEW BOLLYWOOD ORIGINAL FREE POST, more than 10 available.

How about Aaja Nachle. Probably it did better than Neal N' Nikki.

Yes it did. Aaja Nachle actually wasn't that bad, earning just shy of 15 crores, which is better than several Yash Raj productions of the last 10 years such as Saathiya, Mujhse Dosti Karoge, Kabul Express, and Neal N Nikki (I was able to find the figures, the film made slightly less than 9 crores).

Actually the biggest flop Yash Raj Films has enjoyed this past decade is (drumroll) Roadside Romeo, with less than 7 crores! I guess that explains why they still haven't released a DVD...

Looking onto all this has been quite interesting. Many recent Yash Raj productions are being viewed as flops when they earned a decent amount of cash (Tashan made almost the same amount as the first Dhoom) while a lot of the older, Yash Chopra-directed films considered as classics earned what looks like a pitance now. Of course there's the question of budget and inflation which I haven't taken into account, but I think expectation also plays a big part and as Yash Raj Films has grown to become one of India's biggest studios, when movies do a lot of money, but not as much as expected, people call them flops (especially if they've been critically bashed as well). Aaja Nachle was viewed as a big event marking the return of Madhuri Dixit so people expected a huge moneymaker but it was only an average one.
