With just one blockbuster - "Tanu Weds Manu Returns" in its first six months, it's been a low-key 2015 for the Bollywood box office. Content turned out to be the mainstay, as proven by the success and appreciation fetched by entertainers like "Dum Laga Ke Haisha", "Piku" and "ABCD 2", but hopes are high from the second half, especially from Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan's films, trade experts say.

The initial months witnessed a slump in viewership as compared to last year, courtesy cricket mania caused by the World cup and Indian Premier League. Films like Arjun Kapoor and Sonkashi Sinha's "Tevar", megastar Amitabh Bachchan and southern star Dhanush's "Shamitabh", Arjun Rampal and Jacqueline Fernandes's "Roy" - though hyped - didn't work very well for the box office.
