The Definition Of All Time Blockbuster And The Biggest Scales Of success
Confident in the knowledge that not only a huge part of trade within the industry but even journalists come to naachgaana and take a cue or two (example – so many questions we raise in naachgaana have been appearing in ‘you asked it’ on boxofficeindia) i think this is the best forum to start a debate on what is an ATBB and what are the most important scales of success to measure films/stars on.
i will start with ATBB or all time blockbuster 1st.
there have been huge debates on this for a long time, within trade, in journals and offcourse naachgaana, the last mostly being star centric, from fans to benefit their fave stars. as of now atbb is decided based on revenue, roi and inflation adjustment, amongst other factors. now some feel only the grosser that broke the record of last highest grosser shud be called an atbb. but it has its limitations. for instance
1. a hugely popular film like ddlj will lose its atbb status but dhoom 2 does get it.
2. maine pyaar kiya the biggests hit of 80s will lose its atbb status, that to by a miniscule margin of a few lakhs, that are always debatable in the non-computerized 80s ( i am sure bachchan lobby saw to it that it wasnt reported as beating sholay record)
3. gadar and rab ne bana di jodi become atbbs. even as kuchh kuchh hota hai and raja h loose it.
basically any vague film, that collects high after a gap of few years, owing to steadily hiked ticket prices becomes an atbb. and all becoz of a lack of many groundbreaking hit in between, that were unable to cross last atbb, just becoz they released too close to it. losers wud be ddlj, jai santoshi ma and sangam (deserving atbbs) and raja h, kuchh kuchh (undeserving ones) and off course dabangg.
if the current definition of atbb is changed, in my view it shud be the ‘inflation adjusted highest grosser’ with inflation calculated not on national economy inflation or wholesale price index but on ticket price hikes (for instance throughout the 80s there was regular inflation but no ticket price hike. on the other hand inflation between 2000-2009 was regular again but ticket prices in metros multiplexes increased by roughly 6-7 times, making the averaged out ticket price (multiplexes and ss) at least double or even triple in the later part of the decade.
so in my view if a film crosses the inflation adjusted gross (netts keep changing as ent tax changes) of last atbb , it shud be called atbb.
however even this method doesnt take care of changing market dynamics. thru the 80s bollywood lost 30% of its audiences to VHS-VCRs and even to expanding doordarshan. in the 90s there came satellite televiosn which almost took away 70% audiences over the next two decadesand later even internet made a small dent.
another way to define atbb cud be the biggest hit of the decade. but then again some supersuvccessful films released closed to the biggest hit of the deacde lose out (jai santoshi ma, ddlj, rattan etc)
so obviously more suggestions are needed on this one.
as for scale of success, most ppl keep quoting atbbs/blockbuster/biggest openers/superhits etc etc to claim the films they think are more successful. but in my view the most neutral (time neutral as well as changing business dynamics neutral) scale of success is the ‘biggest hit of the year’ as…
1. in any era everyone is competing in similar circumstances, so market dynamics are adjusted for.
2. inflation is adjusted automatically.
3. its a very numbers driven thing unlike terms like atbb etc. for instance you can put a value of 10 to the biggets hit of the year, 9 to te 2nd biggest, 8 to the 3rd biggest etc. and hence it possible to calculate many more things.
however this method has a certain limitation. the films released in the early part of the year have a disadvantage as usually films in the later part of the year will get the advantage of increasing ticket prices. for instance the freak case of december 2005 release no entry earning 45 cr and becoming the biggest hit of the year while january 2006 release rang de basanti earns 50 and still doesnt. however this disadvantage is star neutral as any star cud suffer or gain in this way.
so i think the best way to guage the sucess of films/stars is ‘THE BIGGEST HIT OF THE YEAR’.
as for terms like super hit, super AAA plus etc, they were very juvenile and untrained (in both journalizm and business studies) journalists like B K Adarsh (taran’s father ) and mr watever nahata (komal’s father) floated them and kept chnaging according to their covenience and later refused to adapt them to market dynamics. so the sooner they are thrown out of the window, the better it is.

0@delight44 : it’s not necessary that a movie has to break the previous record by a margin to be known as ATBB. ddlj, rh, kkhh, dabangg are definitely HISTORIC classic hits. definite atbbs considering the money they made according to the screens they released in. you can’t have your own criteria for verdicts like danish. don’t tell me you are also a fanatic of aamir. when you accept BOI for collections ??? why this hypocrisy when it comes to their verdicts??? i simply admire aamir immensely but won’t stoop down to cheap levels just to hunt glory for him.
do you have to hate on other actors and that too MR. SRK and MR. SALMAN KHAN ???? why is it so ???? control nahi hota kya ???? aamir ke fan ho to thoda class to maintain karo uski tarah ….kitna ganda bolte ho

2. crossing previous grosser with a margin??/ wat margin? who fixes it? dhoom 2 will become an atbb so also om shanti om and horrors of horrors rab ne bana di jodi (which idoubt was even a clean hit if u include srk’s fees in teh budget)
and i have nowher said biggest hit of the year is an atbb. u did not read carefully. there are two topics in this article.
and why only previous two decades? wat abt 80s and mpk?
mpk broke all records despite a decade whre half the cinemas closed and for ten years there was no ticket price increase (almost) shud that not be adjusted.
hahk again did it with a simlar track (though by now there was some ticket price increase over 80s) but the other films after it got the advantage (ddlj, raja h, kkhh, gadar) of hahk reving the industry and ticket prices doubling (in fact tripling by the time gadar came) shud not that be adjusted for?
u said crossing the last film with a huge margin. 7 years after hahk and a thre efold increase in average ticket price gadar managed to cross hahk by a cpl of crores. still u have a soft corner for gadar.
ghajini had the advantage of the multiplex boom, the economic boom of almost a decade. shud not that be accounted for?
i agree on 3 idiots though. it was an atbb.

as i said Salman is just a msala actor and fans of masala actors dont make any sense.Let me correct you .
Huge margin means the margin should be substantial wrt to the net of previous biggest netter.
Biggest netter be4 GHajini was Dhoom 2 =80 crore
Ghajini broke that record by 35 crore and the figure 35 crore is very much substantial wrt 80 crore.
You cant say the same for other movies .
3 IDIOTS lead was even bigger.and why only previous two decades? wat abt 80s and mpk?
Repeating 1 more time.
MPK wasnt a Salman starrer at all due to the well known fact ->Salman was not a star when MPK released,not even a known face. All credit must go to director jisne sadak se utha kar star bana diya ladke ko.
MPK made Salman…hajam karlo is baat ko aur bekaar me sallu ko credit dena band karou said crossing the last film with a huge margin. 7 years after hahk and a thre efold increase in average ticket price gadar managed to cross hahk by a cpl of crores. still u have a soft corner for gadar.

hahk and hssh were huge hits and the former as much becoz of salman as ddlj was for sharukh and raja h was for aamir. as for hssh, salman deserves as much credit as aamir for his 3 hero film 3 idiots or srk for k3g.
i agree the industry, myopic as it is went by media created perception (that u subscribe to) and did not offer salman the kost perstgious of projects. but the viewer is above the industry too and most decided to amke salman khan their favourite. aur nateejaa aap ke saamne hai.
internet penetration in india is less than 10% so i can take their inputs as just that, one input but not overall verdict. for that boxoffice is the most comprehensive source.

and even if all movies are flop the success ration remains the same for all actors, just reduces in magnitude.
for instance if salman has 30 hits and boi is prone to exaggerate succes by 3 times then that means salman has only 10 hits.
but aamir who has say 18 hits wud end up having just 6 hits and remains 60% of salman’s success.

And Similarly Ghajini aur Dabangg ko har dusri film corss kar rahi hai kaise ATBB hai ye. For exp the value of 1 cr in 90′s was more than todays 10 cr in industry. Like the time when top movies are doing 8 cr and suddenly a movie with 12 cr mistaken as ATBB . Similarly we are mistaken to count Ghajini & Dabangg as Atbb.
DDLG & Raja Hindustani were ATBB deserving one . And as compared to them, HAHK was History(More than ATBB) which changed the whole scenerio of boxoffice.

1 0An ATBB has to be an ATBB.It has to cross previous highest grosser by some margin taking into account increase in ticket prices.Dhoom 2 is nit an ATBB because it didnt even makegrossof what gadar would have grossed.Ghajini is not an ATBB.Ghajini ticket prices were hiked by 15-20% and it had holidays and 3 open weeks.And it had big advance as well.Ghajini didnt even outgross sik.
DDLJ,RH are also not ATBBs.They couldnt outgross HAHK.
I think the word ATBB is not right.We should probably use the word Record grosser instead of ATBB.
I dont agree that KA is ATBB.KA has always been over reported.And ticket prices were increased by 50% after one month of HAHK,and families started watching films again.There was a big increase in ticket sales after HAHK.
Thats why I have always said that Mohra is a record grosser in the 1990s in Action films.Its adjusted gross to ticket price and market expansion is underestimated.It would have done more than KA is it is relased at the time of KA.
I think only HAHK,gadar,3I are ATBBs.I might make an analysis of Salman,Akshay,srk in 1990s,2000s by taking their total gross of films if there is agreement on average ticket prices and adjusted gross.And there will be dedcuction of gross in multistarrers with big stars.

and ur point on mohra vs karan arjun is ok to an extent but u must realize that the difference is 2.5 times (250%) but ticket price hike was just 50% on the upper side.
so mohra cant be bigger than karan arjun but yes films of 93-94 (upto hashk) might have been underestimated vs films of 1995 onwards.

I came across this article http://vibhash.blogspot.in/201.....-kaun.html
In addition to this, movie tickets were raised from 15 rs to 35 rs for balcony and 10 rs to 25 rs for family.
Now this suggests a 250% increase in bigger cities,and in smaller cities the increase in ticket prices could be 75-100%.Later till 2001 I think there is increase of only 10% .But we dont have precise data on this.
I am not saying mohra is equal to KA here.It could be that KA gross came from bigger cities which had higher ticket prices.I think KA is over reported due to some reason.A revenge drama with love story grossed more than DTPH?
An ATBB is a film that crosses the previous ATBB by taking into account ticket prices and other conditions. -

And no matter who says what, I know that after sholay, hahk is the biggest Bollywood movie till now… It doesn’t matter how many likes it has in fb, how much rating it has in imdb or how many people watch it today… It remains the second biggest movie for me ( and biggest solo hero movie just ahead of gadar) by some margin -
Like or Dislike:
0 0And it is natural for yakuza to feel unsecure because if HAHK is 2nd biggest movie and if ETT becomes like gadar or 3 idiots, then salman will be ahead of AB in giving huge grossers…
… yakuza is trying to undermine HAHK because he feels that ETT will be a monstrous hit…the only way he can put AB ahead of salamn in giving huge grossers is by undermining HAHK -
Like or Dislike:
0 0Yakuza knows that there is no way to undermine ETT if it becomes a huge it… Can’t say it’s heroine dominated movie… Can’t say it’s because of yrf cuz yrf don’t even have a 100 crore movie yet… Can’t say it’s because of director cuz kabir is only 2 films old with small successes… Can’t say it is multistarrer…
But he might give all the credit to the action director… Any way who cares? Some people’s perception change only to undermine salman…
And we all know what happens to a heroine dominated movie which is super liked.. It becomes superhit like the dirty picture or kahaani (which does less than 40 percent of the
biggest grosser till date) .. But new theories come out when it comes to salman -

0 0@sanjeev – SUPERB comments above
some people will still find ways especially the ‘usual’ suspects. They will say film worked due to ranvir shorey. Or they might say the songs helped the film that too after calling the songs crap for weeks on end LOL

1 1ANd KKHH was announced as Salman Khan in lead in 1947 .. since the independence day, entire nation was breathlessly waiting for KKHH for Salman …. All Promos, Posters were filled with Salman and only Salman .. its only after one month people came to know that there is SRK and Kajol as well in cameos … but these were forgettable roles. KKHH will always be remembered as one and only Salman movie for me and all ..
Salman Bhans ki jai ho ..
