Bollywood at the end of the day is one of the most booming businesses in this country. Providing livelihood to many, and entertainment to many more, the index of success can be varied. Many considered critical acclaim to be most important and others think revenue matters more. From business perspective, it is the profits earned that matters the most.
While Aashiqui 2 still managed to be prime most in terms of profits it has incurred, Dharma Productions’ new film has already managed to be an overwhelming hit at the box office. The black horse this year, Aashiqui 2 has seen a profit margin of 583% and with that the film tops the ROI (Return On Investment) List.

UTV’s decision to invest on India’s first dance film ABCD starring maverick Prabhu Deva paid them off well. The film records the second highest profit margin of 283%.
While Ranbir Kapoor starrer YJHD is not even close to wrapping up the film’s lifetime collections, it already has a profit margin of 202% which indeed is commendable!
The film going by its great pace at box office and tremendous likeability factor will surely cause more ripples on the Koimoi ROI list in the weeks to come!
