5 2@Kunal ..
HAHK footfall was in range of 7.5 Crore. 123 Crore gross and approx. 16/- average ticket price.Let me give you full scenario of HAHK ticket prices. It was released on just 29 prints in first week mainly in big cities. After that prints were given to top end theaters only or to those who agreed to renovate the theater as per their condition. Before release of HAHK average ticket price was 8/-. But for HAHK every theater increase their ticket price to almost double which ranged from Rs. 12/- (16/- balcony, 8/- circle) in small cities to Rs. 25/-(35/- balcony, 25/- upper circle, 7/- front) in metros. There were some theaters in small towns who get back to their normal ticket prices after 10 to 12 weeks of run, to attract more footfalls.
Overall average ticket price was definitely somewhere at 16/ + range (BOI claims 35/- which is 100% wrong as this was upper range in metros). This leads to footfalls in somewhere around 7.5 Crore category.
Sholay footfalls were somewhere around 22 Crore .. around 15 Crore for first run and 7 Crore for re-runs.

1 1@yakuza – i have heard this false tale before. but if the balcony tickets were 12 rs and front stall 2 rs at sapna where hahk released in the 1st round (correct e if i am wrong) in the heart of posh south delhi, there is no way hahk average ticket price can be more than 10 rs in the whole country.
i will give u another proof’. i was in mumbai last month and went to maratha mandir that has been ‘playing’ ddlj for ’17 years’. the ticket prices for that morning show are 15, 17 and 20 rs. the average comes to 17.50 rs. this is in 2012. (its proof can be very easily given)
now assuming while the ticket prices in the whole country went up to ten folds and maratha mandir has increased ticket prices just two fold between 1994-2012, the ticket prices in 1994 come to less than 10 rs.
the (false) twist in ur tale is the ticket prices being increased FOR ‘hu aapke hain kaun. yakuza mere dost, any one who was 10 years or older in 1994 (by the way while calling me childish etc have u ever thought of the possibility that i cud be older than you) wud know that in those days theater owners cud nt increase prices for individual theaters like today and the state govt as well as municipal body (mcd in delhi, bmc in mumbai) were involved in it and the prices increased across the state only with govt approval and at fixed percentage. and that percentage was never, never never more than 15%. not once thru the 80s. it was aftre hahk rejuvenated the film industry that the cinema owenrs were allowed to increase the ticket prices by 40% 1st time in late 1994 (december to be precise).
this continued for better part of the 90s. then came pvr saket (half a kilometer from my place in saket, delhi where i the lived) the 1st multiplex in india and then came the policy change, a cpl of years later. u wud be surprised to know that even as pvr prices went from 75 rs to 135 rs in 2 years, still 2 rows were reserved for rs 6 (in the front) with govt intervention and after a lot of lobbying this rule was changed and priing was left to the industry entirely.
so before u cook up stories u must study the govt policies. ther is no way 29 theaters across many states cud have increased ticket prices, come barjatyas or subhash ghai.
hahk footfall was 12 cr at 123 gross and 10 rs average ticket prices.
now coming to ur other lie. at the time of sholay ticket prices were 2.50 rs. and sholay gross was 30 cr so this comes to a footfall of 12 cr. but at least 10 of these 30 cr came after the ticket price hike (that any big hit causes and so did sholay) by 1980 the average ticket price was 3 rs. here are the rates for sangam cinema r k puram. 1.25 rs, 2 rs, 3 rs and 4.50 (balcony) in 1980 for a show of kali ghata starring shashi kapoor and rekha.
that means is all 30 cr of sholay cant be calculated at 2 rs but shud be averaged out at 2.50 rs as a cpl f the crores even came thru the 80s. but 80s did not see any hike in ticket prices (in 1983 there was a drop, the only incidence of such kind) and very slowly there was some hike after the success of tezaab and the average ticket prices came to 4 rs.
yes these are all south delhi experiences but the only place that cud be a lil higher is south mumbai. but rest of the country wud be much less.
so even sholay footfall cant be more than hahk that is 12 cr.

1 2HAHK ticket prices at Sapna and Satyam in 1994 were Balcony-35/- and upper Stall – 25/- .
In my small town .. ticket prices were 16/- balcony and upper stall 8/-.
And ask any of your elder .. ticket prices were hiked for HAHK specifically .. and that too almost double. In my town .. it was Rs. 8/- Balcony before .. and shoot up to 16/- balcony for HAHK. We spent around 50,000 at that time for renovation of cinema (also placed lights around screen) which was quite good amount at that time for maintenance. To recover this ticket price hike was essential. It was hiked at every cinema where HAHK was exhibited. Now how this hiked was happen individual to a cinema is definitely not a concern area of yours.

0 0@yakuza – jhooth se kaam nahin chala to kannon hi apne haath mein le loge kya?
ticket prices of sapna (i wudnt knwo abt satyam but sapna was in a more posh area) were 2.10 rs, 4.80 rs, 8 rs and 12 rs for sapna in 1994. tell me which city r u from. i lived 6 km from sapna, in saket.
ddlj uphaar ticket prices were 2.10 (yes front stall was not allowed to hike by authorities) 8 rs for middle stall, 12 rs for rear stall and 18 rs for balcony. yes! thats the kind of rejuvenation and hike hahk cused and ddlj benefitted from.
till 1998-1999 there was no way individual theaters cud have raised the ticket prices. it was done with govt and municipal intervention. i double checked with a lawyer uncle of mine who is a film buff.
i dont know where ur theater is but may be you guys took hahk after the price hike in late 1994 by which time hahk had become such a big hit that demanding renovation was possible for barjatyas (but not ticket price hike as that happened only in accordance with the rules) and since ticket price hike had already happened u have mixed up the two and cooked up ur own story.
BUT THERE IS NOW WAY THAT BEFORE 1998 A THEATER CUD HAVE INCRESED TICKET PRICES. THE STATE GOVT AND MUNICIPAL BODY OF THE CITY HAD TO INTERVENE.
i dont know yakuza wat was ur age in 1994 but my uncle was 26 years old. he watched the film at sapna in the 1st week and had to wait for 45 minutes to just take his car out from sapna parking. he also has ticket for a film called sherni with the price for balcony being 4 rs. but i understand that sherni was before mpk and one or two ticket price hikes did take place between sherni (1988) and hahk.

0 0I was 15 years old in 1994. And this is unfortunate for you that i saw HAHK first in September, 1994 in Sapna cinema Delhi with my dad and uncle’s family. Ticket prices are 100% confirmed 35/- Balcony and 25/- Upper stall.
Any ways .. as you believe BOI.
“Due to unparalleled demand for the film after its release, exhibitors upgraded their theatres to get prints of the film. This resulted in ticket prices going up heavily ”
http://boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=126&catName=MTk5MC0xOTk5
“Basically with the release of Hum Aapke Hain Kaun (1994) ticket prices went up hugely and remained at a similar lever for next few years”

This is 100% incorrect. Because this was price of high end theaters of Metro cities, not interiors. Interiors were at Rs. 16/- Balcony for HAHK.
