Round Up Of Bollywood Box Office Collection Of 2014

The year started on a positive note with young guns bringing in the moolah, but overall, 2014 has so far turned out to be a disappointing one for the Bollywood box office, say trade gurus, pointing out at how only seven of the nearly 180 releases surpassed the Rs.100 crore ($16 million) mark in the Hindi film industry, which has grossed an estimated turnover of Rs.2,350 crore so far. Hope lies in Aamir Khan's much-awaited PK.
Whether it was Tiger Shroff's Heropanti, Sidharth Malhotra's Ek Villain, Varun Dhawan's Main Tera Hero, Alia Bhatt's Highway or Alia and Arjun Kapoor-starrer 2 States - they set the stage for a decent year in the first six to eight months, by not just recovering their money, but also making profits.

But the "second half was a major disappointment and most of the films didn't live up to expectations," Rajesh Thadani of Multimedia Combines told.
"This year was very bad...so far," he added.
Terming 2014 an "average year", trade analyst Komal Nahta told, "The start of 2014 was good, but towards the end there was a downfall. November was the worst month for the film industry in the last 15 to 20 years. All the films, including Happy Ending, The Shaukeens and Kill Dil bombed."
