Hey Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone, don’t worry coz January is NOT really unlucky for Bollywood movies

Over the past few years, people have started to feel that January is very unlucky for Bollywood movies. With a few big films not doing well at the box office during this period, industry folks have started to believe that January is not a good time to release their films. So if you see the first two weeks of January not having any major release, then don’t worry coz it is a common practice now. In 2017, Shah Rukh Khan‘s Raees, Hrithik Roshan‘s Kaabil and Deepika Padukone’s xXx: Return of Xander Cage are releasing. And we are sure the makers might be fretting that the curse of January might haunt their movies. However, let me tell you that this perception is actually false. January was actually a good month for Bollywood in 2016. Even though Wazir, Kyaa Kool Hain Hum 3 and Saala Khadoos didn’t earn huge numbers, they did make money. And then we had Airlift, which was the highest grossing film of 2016 till Sultan released. In fact, Airlift still features in top 10 grossing films of 2016, which has earned a considerable profit too…
Apart from 2016, in the past few years too, films released in January have performed well. In 2015, Akshay Kumar‘s Baby performed very well and earned  profit. In 2014 Salman Khan‘s Jai Ho, which released in January, was one of the biggest hits of the year. Similarly, Saif Ali Khan’s Race 2 also performed well in January 2013. So the month is not the issue, it is the timing of the release and the content that matters. If your movie has flaws, obviously it will tank at the box office, right? However, if you have a good story line and the film is packaged well with great performances, then any film will earn big bucks during any month including January… 
Obviously, January is the first month and everyone is getting back to their day-to-day life after holidays. So while the first week might be dicey, from the second week any film can do well. And on top of that we have a big holiday like January 26 that is a part of the month. This day has the highest earning potential for any film. So, quite clearly January is NOT unlucky for Bollywood movies. It is in fact the content of the film that will decide if it will be a hit or a flop.
So Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and Hrithik Roshan have nothing to worry in 2017 as their films will do well if they offer good content. With this let’s bid all the bad luck bye bye with 2016 and let’s say hello to 2017! Wishing you guys a very Happy New Year with lots of movies and gossip to look forward to only at BollywoodLife…
