    All 17 in this List Deserve to be ATBB’s!

    I Think Salman Single Handedly has the Highest No of ATBB’s here i.e 4, and 5 including KKHH.

    Salman “ROCKSTAR” Khan

    _//\\_

    …………….

    Majority of Salman Fans out there who were Whining against BOI…

    See, Even BOI has been now Compelld to give it an ATBB Status so Why Were u Crying dat BOI Gave ETT only BB Tag?

    Victory…. \./

  10. Hot debate. What do you think? Thumb up 8 Thumb down 5

    ATBB ka mazaak bana ke rakh diya hai … just like ratings of movie has become joke. 15 years before .. 3 stars was very rarely given to genuinely well made movie. 4 Stars was once in a blue moon. But now every thing has been exaggerated to criminal level. Every other movie is getting 4-5 stars and lenient verdicts. Good to keep fans and followers happy .. :)

    I don’t know what ATBB is .. this term was not in use till 90′s. But IMO Magical Hits of Bollywood are :

    1. Ratan
    2. Kismat
    3. Mother India
    4. Mughal-E-Azam
    5. Sholay
    6. Maine Pyaar Kiya
    7. Hum Apke Hain Kaun
    8. DDLJ
    9. Gadar (Lowest among all above)
    10. Three Idiots (Lowest even to Gadar)

    And three other low budget Huge Hits :

    11. Jai Santoshi Maa
    12. Aankhein
    13. RTGM

    There is no magical Hit since Gadar.Even Gadar was just a HUGE hit .. not at the level of above first 8 movies. Ditto for Three Idiots.

    And if you want to include likes of Ghajini, Dabangg etc in this category … then there are at least 100 more movies which deserves position in upper slots.

    PS : I was in discussion with one journalist few months before and asked him one question .. “Which movie is bigger Hit ? Three Idiots OR Muqaddar Ka Sikandar ? ” … After some pause he asked me to give one day to answer this question. And next day he told me .. though its tough to answer this as both are from totally different eras but based on comparative collections minus inflation, repeat audience and total audience .. its “Muqaddar Ka Sikandar”. ……. now this says all !!

      @Yakuza: don’t you worry bro. You know it. I know it and everybody knows it.
      After 25 years from today, if I ask a journalist the same question..”Which movie is bigger hit? three idiots OR biggest movie of that era? the answer will be as follows:
      though its tough to answer this as both are from totally different eras but based on comparative collections minus inflation, repeat audience and total audience..its “Three Idiots”….
      I hope his time you will be smart enough to acknowledge what I am saying.

    yakuza bhai- u r 100% right . from last 10 years atbb list changes so many times . now we find that 2 0r 3 atbb or bb movies comes every year which is totally wrong. what is the definition of atbb 5 times bussiness of the budget ? if it is right that i think only first 8 movies comes into above list. my other point is if ett budget is about 100 crore and earns 190 in my opinion this movie should be rated hit or superhit max. as far as 70s and 80s movies are concern there are at least 25 movies which r bigger hit than ett, gajani, or dabang. for example . yakuza bhai responed to my list and i m wating for ur reply.

    People should know that for a movie to be declared an ATBB a movie should create a phenomenon like what ghajini and dabangg (chulbul pandey) did.

    if RNBDJ is a ATBB than Singh Is Kinng & Rowdy Rathore are also ATBB

    but it is not true

    RNBDJ & SIK were a Blockbuster where as Rowdy Rathore is a Mega Blockbusters so are Dabangg and BG

    i partly agree with yakuza here. the only real atbbs are

    1940s – kismat
    1950s – mother india
    1960s – mughal e aazam
    1970s – sholay
    1970s – jai santoshi ma (ROI ensures its atbb status)
    1980s – maine pyaar kiya
    1990s – hahk
    2000s – gadar/3idiots (disputed)

    and if u are taking other films like ddlj, kkhh, raja h, ghajni, dabangg as atbb then u will have to include the following (which in my view are blockbusters)

    amar akbar anthony
    muqaddar ka siknadar
    ram teri ganga maili
    aankhein
    ddlj
    raja h
    kkhh
    ghajini
    bodyguard
    ek tha tiger

    and if the above are updated as ATBBs then the blockbuster list will also need to be updated and include

    zanjeer
    deewar
    don
    trishul
    laaawris
    may be coolie (not sure abt this one)

    and some films that definitely dont deserve blockbuster status are

    1. partner
    2. welcome
    3. chak de
    4. oso
    5.rab ne
    6. rowdy rathore
    7. murder 2 (despite the ROI)
    8. raaz 3 its again becoz of market expansion, its not a rage like raaz 1)

    ATBB is such a misinterpreted term … i say!!

    if a film’s ROI is more than 300% then its a BB and more than 500% its an atbb!!

    A Shah rukh Khan film can never be an ATBB in this era unless it makes 300crores nett ..

    tillu film can be an atbb even at 120 crore

    ullu khan’s market is grown over the past few decades and makers are investing more amount of money to make a quality product that attracts even the multiplex audience.. henceforth the budget of ett is around 90 cr and its roi isnt even 150% .. still boi giving it a verdict of BB is a boon to sallu and his chamchas..

    SRK’ s Rab ne **khuda nazar na lagaaye” was a low nudget film which costed less than 25 cr including everything (also SRK’s 10 cr fees) and it went on to gross about 150 cr net worldwide.. now its a true ATBB

    ATBB doesnt mean that the film has surpassed the previous atbb in terms of gross.. ATBB means the film has made more than 5 times its investment!!

    ETT is def not a an ATBB neither is a Bodyguard or for that matter even Dabnng or 3 idiots ..

    BOI is completely biased !!

    the last genuine ATBB was DDLJ!!

    @chalu – o ya?

    but even by ur logic ett is an atbb – budget 90 cr, collections 307 cr worldwide.

    ya bas srk ke liye rab ne ki worldwide collection loge salman ki nahin?

    and if u r taking budget vs india net for salman then …….

    wat abt devdas budget 50 cr collection 32 cr boi verdict – hit

    mohabbatein – budget 30 cr, collections 33 cr, boi verdict superhit

    kabhi khushi kabhi gham – budget 35 cr, collection 47 cr boi verdict blockbuster

    veer zaara and many many more?

    yakuza bhai- aap 70s and 80s ka inflation adjusted fig hume batae. As i mentioned above i m agree with u . but again apart from 8 atbb rest r doubtful.since last decade har doosri movie bb ho jaati hai har saal ek movie jaroor atbb ho jati hai. ye status pana bahot muskil hai. muje lagta hai F.I and komal naahata verdis r very strict but right. most no of bb and atbb list should be like this.

    amitabh- 11 ( byFilm information)
    aamir -3 ( bb- rh,t.i,and gajani)
    salmaan-3( atbb-mpk,hahk and bb-ka)
    srk – 3 (atbb-ddlj bb- ka, kkhh)
    hritik-3 (bb- knph,kriss, dhoom2)

    Khan.1- bhai jitni v movie ka naam maine likha hai phhle aap check karlo. phir baat karna. 70s or 80s main bb and atbb jaise word nahi the kewwal super hit or hit movie ki baat hoti thi. rahi baat amitabh ki movie ki maine avi amitabh ki at least 10 badi hit movie ka naam mention nahi kiya hai.

    1 heraferi-1976
    2 parwaris-1977
    3 kasmevade-1978
    4 mr.natwarlal-1979
    5 dostana -1980
    6 namakhallal-1982
    7 khuddar-1982
    8 sharabi-1984
    9 giraftaar- 1985
    10 aakhari raasta-1986

    avi v amitabh ki kuch superhit movies ka naam de sakta hoo with proof. like khoon paasina,yarana,kabhi kabhi,gks, sps etc.

    @nitesh – kya amitabh fans ka level akshay fans jitna ho gaya hai> and to think only the other day i was trying to have an intellignet discussion with you?

    amitabh 11 atbbs? even if u include amarakbar anthony and muqaddar ka saikandar he will have 3, none of which aresolo hero atbbs.

    salman has 4 solo hero and one extended special apprence (kkhh)

    if u wanna take the stricter verdicts then amitabh has one (sholay) and salman has two (mpk hahk)

    and the 10 films u mentioned above were BIG HITS. lolllllllllll!

    and the final question. if amitabh had the biggest hits how come his films were not the biggest hits of the yarmore than 5 times?
