Many times, films that collect well at the box office are declared flops and films that collect less are declared hits. In such a situation, it is very important to know on what basis the success and failure of films is judged. Because when a film is called a flop despite the collection of 400 crores and a blockbuster despite the collection of 100 crores, it is generally difficult for the audience to understand what are the criteria for a film to be a flop, a hit and a blockbuster. . So let’s know what are the criteria for a film to be a hit, flop or blockbuster at the box office.
First of all, the budget is made by adding up the entire cost of the film, such as the production of the film, the actors involved in the film, then the production costs, the cost of promoting the film, etc. For example, if a film is made at a cost of Rs 100 crore, the first day earnings of the film should be at least 20% more than this cost. If this happens then the film is rated as average.

Know how films are released
At the time of film release, the film is sent to distributors in 14 circuits of the country. The film’s distributors and producers together decide in which single theaters they want to release the film and in which multiplex chains. After deciding on the distribution of the film, the collection target of the film is decided. If a film earns 20% more than its cost at the box office, it is called an average film and if the film earns 50% to 100% more than its budget, it is declared a hit. And understand that if a film earns 200% more than its cost, it is declared an all-time blockbuster. As far as flop films are concerned, a film that does not earn more than 20% of its cost is declared a flop.
The Kashmir file was a blockbuster
Now if we talk for example, Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri’s ‘The Kashmir Files’ was made in Rs 15 crore but the film grossed more than Rs 100 crore, so the film was declared as an all-time blockbuster. While the film Brahmastra was priced at Rs 410 crore and the film grossed only Rs 450 crore and thus Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt’s film was placed in the average category.

When does a film become a hit, flop and superhit blockbuster?

Any film has to earn 120 to 130 crore rupees more than the budget to become a super hit and 150 to 160 crore rupees for a blockbuster and any film has to earn for an all time blockbuster. 180 to 190 crores.
