Today, Bollywood filmmakers are creating intellectual property like franchises and universes. That is, the focus is on creating intellectual property in which stories that are already running can continue. In doing so, while retaining the brand memory value, it also creates opportunities to collaborate with big stars.
Bollywood universes and franchises have made a lot of money in recent years. So where is the police universe now? Can Copper Universe reach the top with Singham 3, which will be released on November 1 during Diwali? Let us tell…
1. Spyverse
Over the past few years, big movie producers and production houses in Bollywood have put a lot of emphasis on creating franchises and universes. Among them, Yash Raj Films has achieved the greatest success, with its Spyverse setting a record-breaking box office record in India.
The project, which kicks off with Salman Khan playing the spy character Tiger, first saw the entry of Hrithik Roshan from War, while superstar Shah Rukh Khan made waves with Pathan sensation. Yash Raj Films’ “Spyverse” is the highest-grossing IP in India. The project has been confirmed. The film has collected a net box office of Rs 1,684 crore so far.
2. Horror Universe
The horror universe began with the huge success of “On the Street” in 2018 and currently has 5 films. This year, the huge success of “Munjya” and “Stree 2” made it the second largest IP in Bollywood. Already done.
Apart from Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkumar Rao, now Varun Dhawan, Abhay Verma and Sharvari Wagh have also arrived in this universe. Soon, Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna will also become a part of this universe along with ‘Vijayanagar Vampire’.
3. Police Universe
Rohit Shetty’s cop universe started in 2011 with “Singham” starring Ajay Devgan. Then Ranveer Singh from ‘Simmba’ and Akshay Kumar from ‘Suryavanshi’ also entered the mix. Before the release of Bollywood’s top IP “Singham Again”. “Police Universe” ranks third among these projects.
The trailer of “Singam 3” brings a lot of highlights. But due to clashes with blockbusters like “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3”, it will be difficult for the film to earn Rs 400-500 crore at the box office. With a net box office of Rs 676 crore in India so far, Copverse will leave Horror Universe behind once it reaches Rs 300 crore.
4. Whole house franchise
The Akshay Kumar-starrer Housefull franchise has so far collected Rs 486 crore at the box office through 4 films. “Housefull 5” has begun filming and is expected to be released in 2025.
Apart from Akshay, many big-name actors like John Abraham, Bobby Deol, Abhishek Bachchan, Arjun Rampal and Ritesh Deshmukh have been seen so far in this series of movies. More big-name stars are set to star in the fifth film. It will be interesting to see how much of a buzz this series makes with the new movie.
5. Dabang Franchise
Top 5 Bollywood IPs This is the only film series led by the same hero among all the projects. This in itself is a huge boost to superstar Salman Khan’s stardom.
The previous game in the series, The Big Bang Theory 3, received a lukewarm reception than expected. But it’s still part of the top 5 list. One can imagine how much of a buzz it would be at the box office if Salman appeared in Dabangg 4 in the avatar of Chalpur Pandey with a strong storyline.
There are reports that Salman will make a cameo appearance as Chulbul Pandey in Cop Universe’s Singam 3. If Salman’s magic works, then the revenue of Rohit Shetty’s latest film will increase further. But the police universe still couldn’t compete with the revenue of the spy universe. However, Rohit Shetty’s Universe can proudly reach the second position.
