Results of Most Awaited Movies of 2014

Like the past, this year too, we, at Bollywood Hungama
conducted a poll to chart out what are likely to be the biggest blockbusters of
2014. The analysis was done in the form of a survey held in the month of December
2013 and conducted online amongst online surfers, spanning regions from UK,
USA, UAE and India, wherein the user had to select his/her 10 most anticipated
movies. To ensure complete transparency and accuracy, a two level
authentication check with cookie validation and IP mapping was put into place.



The results of the 'Most Awaited Movies of 2014' were compiled based on votes
from 138 countries - countries which constitute about 99% of revenue towards
Bollywood releases. Facebook users were also allowed to vote thereby increasing
the total number of votes polled and creating a larger sample size across
geographies. The results drew up some rather obvious and rather interesting
surprises. Read on to find out all about the Most Awaited Movies of 2014.

What to watch for in 2014



Aamir Khan



Shah Rukh Khan



Hrithik Roshan



Salman Khan



Ranbir Kapoor



Anushka Sharma



Star Quotient:



Much like the previous two years, Aamir Khan tops the list of celebrities whose
films are eagerly awaited. While 2 years back it was Talaash, last year
it was Dhoom 3 and this year yet again Aamir tops the charts with his
eagerly anticipated film P.K.



Last year SRK who featured at number 4 on the list has got a big boost (thanks
to the super success of Chennai Express) to claim the second spot with
his film Happy New Year.



A new entrant to the top three is Hrithik Roshan, who claims the third spot
with his film Bang Bang. Surprisingly, Hrithik also has a second film
voted in the Top 10, Shuddhi, which will be produced under the banner of
Dharma Productions.



Salman claims the next two slots in the Top 5 Most Awaited Films of 2014, with Jai
Ho and Kick.



Ranbir Kapoor, who had two releases last year, namely Yeh Jawaani Hai
Deewani and Besharam, faced extreme reactions from the audiences,
with one film becoming a hit while the other performing quite badly.
Interestingly, the Kapoor lad features twice in the Top 10 list of actors with Bombay
Velvet and Jagga Jasoos.



Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor too are climbing up the ladder with Gunday
that is produced by Yash Raj Films.



2013 was Deepika Padukone's year, 2014 surprisingly has just one of her films, Happy
New Year in the Top 10 list.



Katrina Kaif, on the other hand, has two films namely Bang Bang and Jagga
Jasoos in top 10.



However, it is Anushka Sharma to watch out for, who has two big films, P.K. and
Bombay Velvet in the top 10 list.



Above all, the young Alia Bhatt seems to be climbing up the ladder rather
quickly with her next film Highway already making it to top 10.



Other Trends:



Deepika Padukone who had a stunning 2013 becoming the only actress to reach the
Rs. 600 crore mark has dropped to number five with her small budget film Finding
Fanny Fernandes coming in at the bottom of the list with the least number
of votes.



Akshay Kumar who is one of the biggest superstars seems to be going through a
bit of lull with not a single film of his in top 10.



With films like Bang Bang, Jai Ho, Kick, Singham 2 and Gunday
toping the list, action films surely seem to be the flavour of this year.



Production Houses:



Among the production houses, Fox Star Studios India leads the list with two
films, Bang Bang and Bombay Velvet making it to the Top 10 list.



Others like UTV, Yash Raj Films, Reliance, Balaji, Dharma, Red Chillies, Eros
have one film each. The newly launched production house Picture Shuru
Productions comes in at tenth place with the Ranbir - Katrina starrer Jagga
Jasoos.



Surprisingly, biggies like Viacom 18 and Excel Entertainment don't have a
single film of theirs featured in the Top 10.



Market Trends:



The Top 10 Movies remain almost the same across major markets like India, U.S.A
and U.K., however, the order of the ranking shows some slight changes. As
expected the Khans rule the roost in the UK with the Top 3 slots being taken by
Aamir's P.K, Salman's Kick and Shah Rukh's Happy New Year.
Interestingly, in the Top 5, Salman has two films while Ajay Devgn's Singham
2 comes in at the fifth place.



Ranbir Kapoor's Bombay Velvet seems to have dropped out of top 10 in the
UK coming in at number 14 on the list, while Prabhu Dheva's Action Jackson
starring Ajay Devgn and Sonakshi Sinha makes an entry at number 9.



Hrithik Roshan seems to be the flavor of the year post the massive success of Krrish
3, with two of his films Bang Bang, and Shuddhi again making
it to the top 10 list. However, the new entrant to the list is the John Abraham
starrer Welcome Back which is a sequel to Welcome.
