Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi Opens Well

Saturday 13th December 2008 17.00 IST

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi was slow to take off in the early shows but made rapid progress through out the day and was running to full houses at the end of the day at the major centres. Smaller centres were much slower to improve. At the end of the day the first day business was around 80-85%. The reports are good and the film is likely to be a huge earner (around 40 crore) for Yashraj films. The first weekend business should come in around the 25 crore nett mark.

i never vouched that ive seen the movie please read my comments..after reading indicine views of an average film i dont plan to see it ..dear faathiya so you please help yourself to dollops of movie watching and hey dont forget your morning show of dostana ..anyways i dont like your views and dont go by what you say..if im negative let me be ..but i will not waste my hard earned pie on anything frivolous and i will say it to all those who read this site and reviews please do not encourage banl stuff from bollywood instead by staying away pull the makers up to make sensible tales..
i agree with indicine there should be an explanation for everything even in a potboiler but for someone who liked sawariya!!! well who can say anything

To Indicine Team,

You are saying that how can he light up the whole city? How can she not recognize Surinder in Raj?

If we go by your logic then a man can’t really fly like super-man or shoot web like spiderman or jump from a building like batman with artificial wings. Right, Indicine? A man also can’t force govt to kill 4 terrorists, hero and heroines just can’t go to any other country just like that to sing and dance, also people can’t sing without any instruments playing, right?

It’s just a movie for godsake!

Well, Taani never cheated on Surinder. She just fell in love with Raj because she used to spend quality time with him. Any person will fall for someone who can make him/her laugh, brings back joy. It’s common sense.

Also, how did he just change his personality? If you watched the movie carefully then you might have noticed that when he came for the first time in the dance class, he didn’t want to go in front of her as he was shy but his love for her did it. He forced himself. And again I say, it’s just a movie. Your negative points don’t justify as you don’t have proper reason to backup your statement.

i haven’t seen this movie but being optimistic about this film. hopefully will do well. Hope GHAJJNI and CHINA FILM OF akshay will do well. They all are great actors.

Mahmoud: U love all the good actors.. but not all the commentators here love Shahrukh, as I explained earlier and I’m just defending him, that’s all

Kalyan: You said shahrukh will fail just like he failed now!!! R u out of yr mind or what?! Who said that Shahrukh failed?!! R u closing your eyes and blocking your ears about RBNDJ as u can’t tolerate to hear about his success any more?! Rabne will be a super hit despite the bad time of the release, otherwise it would’ve been a blockbuster.. you don’t know yet.. the rating is a matter of time.. if for 1st week will do around 25crores.. then.. wait and see.. u can’t just say whatever u like about Shahrukh and his movies coz u don’t like him.. u can’t say that he’s a failure and he’s done blockbuster movies, super hit movies and a hit after a hit.. wakeup man.. I think u saw shahrukh as a failure in yr dreams only!!

Fathiya: It’s you who is closing all the ears and sleeping RBDNJ Isn’t A SUPERHIT MOVIE IT’S GONNA BE AVERAGE/BELOW AVERAGE/FAILURE,It’s Akshay who is giving superhit after hit you just can’t tolerate akshays success and you can never will he is gone passed shahrukh but you won’t accept it,it isn’t worth argueing with you.>.>

Kalyan, Chetan, Abdul Rashid and all Punjabi Putars:

U guys go and have some pills tonight.. that u sleep well and relax coz u all dreamt that Shahrukh would fail with his new movie ( and Kalyan.. I’m sure that u don’t like Shahrukh!)

It’s going to be a huge hit, I’ve visited many indian websites now.. 95% r praising the movie, cinemas r housefull as it was announced today on tv, ppl loved it so much, some left 160 comments on chakpack website and 95% of the comments are “positive” by saying: brilliant, superb, awesome, outstanding movie.

So.. u have to accept the fact that Shahrukh is (great) and is (strong & solid) and ( unbreakable)!

Akshay has to wait another 3 or 4 years or maybe forever! till he’s crowned as the next King of Bollywood!

I havent seen this movie and was keen to read something about it. I’m a Westerber outside India who has recently developed a passion for Bollywood.
I see so much in the review and comments here demands some lofty level of excellence and even believability.
I like something I can connect with and enjoy and not everything has to be arty or capapble of surpassing all others. I have not been getting that enjoyment much from Hollywood for a while with its focus so much on the violent, the dark and the ‘real’ (which I get enough of in the papers and in my job). Bollywood gives me colour, emotions, love, song, dance, often people with ethics and heart- and a nice way to spend time. It that sounds trivial and simple minded ,so be it. I have an intellectual day job and I like connecting with other parts of me in movies like the current one is likely to do.
Many of these movies are more morality tales and myths rather than a reflection of truth and they work really well in that way.
Does there need to be competition between whether Shahrukh or Askay is the best to watch. It’s all personal taste rather than right /wrong. I’m not into slapstick type humour so Ashkay only is of interest in some of his movies where he does less of that.
I do llike Shahrukh in almost everything he does as he is very good at playing on emotions and has moved me a lot in many of his films. As with Hrithik, there is a humanity and depth that shines beyond the part.
I dont mind a bit of over -the- top with Shahrukh as he almost does it with a twinkle in the eye that says ‘I’m smarter than what I’m pretending’ and at other times his ability to express open- hearted love and sadness are almost uneequalled in my Hollywood background.
Let these movies keep coming and enjoy them rather than put them down. We’ve all seen a lot of movies by now and its hard to do new. But does that matter? Life is pretty repetitive in its themes too.
Where I am from in Australai I dont get the chance to see these in the cionemas so much so I WILL be buying it on DVD . as soon as it is released as the plot, music and actors all sound worth spending time with. I like the music I’ve heard.
Length? – as DVD watcher principally I now like the longer length. You can really get into characters and care more about them when they take time developing them. At home you can watch them over several evenings as a miniseries too. You really get your moneys worth!
Keep it up Shahrukh and the rest of you! I have developed a deep love of India through his and other movies and I have only gratitude.

Hi, i already watch the movies last night at 1′clock and believe me it was awesome movie.
finally SRk prove it, he is the best and also lucky for his buddy(Adi).
such good entertainment movie for family and a good couple who believe on each other.
each husband and wife has to take a lesson from this movie couple.

@Fathiya

Please don’t waste your time in arguing with AK fanatics like Kalyan. They won’t accept it and keep on talking nonsense. Check out boxofficeindia.com, RNBDJ is doing great all over India despite the attacks. 7.50 crore in day 1. Just see the figures and be happy and don’t argue with these people. The more you’ll argue the more they’ll talk nonsense. They can’t slow down the business by talking like this, can they? Ignore them.

I dont know hw the movie is but the intial battle has been won by Akshay Kumar for this year. So it wud be interesting to see hw it will sustain once Ghajini hits the theatre. Now the battle is betn Aamir and Akshay for records to be created. Personally i wud say Akshay is ON PAR with SRK when it comes to popularity. SRK shud stop his ultra cool guy image on screen it just becomes overboard does look natural.
I like this battle though, its the competition which gets the best out of a person.

Well Aryan,

When the awards will come, the battle will be between SRK, Aamir and Hrithik (For Jodhaa Akbar). What Akshay does is comedy. Nothing else and there is no variety in his roles. Bhool Bhulaiya, Heyy Baby, Welcome, Tashan and now Singh is Kinng.

Despite giving 4 hits last year, he didn’t get any award. Why? Because he’s not showing his acting skills. He should take on some other roles.

A Wednesday should win the award for Best Film of the year and Farhan winning Best Debut actor award.

i never criticize a movie for one person.. the battle here has erupted for shahrukh and akshay .. its not a question of heroes for me.. its the complete lunch packet . the entire package has to be sumptuous for all to like ..you cant just have the roti good and daal bad ..so in terms of entirety if the film is flawed then im sorry it wonr work with people like me .and shouldnt with those who like their meals well laid out.. but for somoene who liked sawariya ..pataalbhairavi ..hai ram kya hai drama…trimurti and all bollywood stuff ..for someone who will stop at nothing to take her favourite to unbelievable heights this piece of advise will surely fall short…

i don’t agree with this review, the movie is great even great performacne by SRK all commercial masala is in the movie great acting, great song, great comedy.

shahrukh khan movies work only because of songs get the songs out of his movie and his movie cant work

king akhshay rules

As i said it’s waste talking to you and akshay doesn’t have to wait for years he is already the king ;D

Aryan: I think u posted yr comment without even reading the review, the story, and our comments on this page! I think u didn’t see the pictures of Rabne which r published everywhere and in all websites including this one.. shahrukh as a simple man with a moustache, thick glasses, uncool hair style and look.. do u really find him cool in this new image?!! If u want to see how good Shahrukh is in his performance then u (must) watch this movie, but not online, at cinema.

Kai: Thanks for your good comments

hello, shahrukh u r the boss.. dont need anything, only shahrukh is enough to make a film hit… not only hit but also blockbaster… and i know all the movie of srk is tremendous. and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi is also rocking.

I am not tryin to tell that srk is horrible or something i hav seen his movies continuosly frm kkhh and this was not wat we expected thats it so there no need to get hyper. And about Ghajini ppl pls wait till the movie is out its storyline is too good and just be patient till the release.The review was good though but could hav told a few more +ve points.
