Fun: Difference between Bodyguard and Ra One

Here are some fun facts that should not be taken too seriously..

  • The entire cost of making Bodyguard (about 45 crores) was less than what SRK spent on marketing Ra One  (52 crores).
  • Ra One had 5 stars; Shahrukh Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Sanjay Dutt and Rajnikanth. Bodyguard had just two stars Salman and Kareena. 
  • Combining all the costs, Bodyguard cost about a fourth of Ra One.
  • Bodyguard was a scene-to-scene remake of a Tamil film, Ra One was a combination of many Hollywood films.
  • Both had train stunts, difference was SRK was a superhero, Salman wasn’t but still somehow managed to jump across to the next train!
  • Bodyguard didn’t release on 3D, released on lesser prints, still managed about the same business as Ra One (which was marginally higher).
  • Salman sleep walked through the film, but SRK and the Ra One team put in a lot of effort and hard work – arguably the most for any Bollywood movie ever!

The only similarity apart from Kareena Kapoor? Well, both were mediocre at best but still managed to set the cash registers ringing!

  • For srk fans. Srk is super star and salman khan king of india in the world. But r.one is a bad movie. Agar tum sad me jara sa bhi shrm hai to dubara nhi bolna ki srk king hai.

  • 111crs, it was bodyguard’s 9day extended week’s collectn & not 1 week .can u get me…any doubts go nd check boxofficeindia…if u hav any objectn then come on yar.

  • Kareena: Sweetheart I have two tickets of Englis movie wanna come? Shahrukh: which movie? Kareena: “Condom of Shailesh” Son: Mom it’s “QUANTUM OF SOLACE”

    hey Indicine team if u fill that ‘Condom’ is a bad word then delete my post.
    But truly speaking its the same word that is used many times in movie Ra.One which is made by SRK for kids in our country & family audience.

  • Hi All, Salman has dignity, he never acted in porn stuff as Shahrukh [with Deepa Sahi in Maya Memsaab], he is better person, high on charisma, trendsetter [Hum Aapke Hain Koun] and helped others to have ATBB [Kuchh Kuchh Hota Hai].

  • @umair ali

    U r right its 102.5 cr
    Ra.One 93.15 cr after Monday.
    Means more 9 crores required.
    Dont forget its only 6 cr on Monday…!

  • Correct figure for ra one 6 days collection are 95.5 cr.. Bodyguard were 96..hope ra one beat bg today and in upcoming days..

  • salmaan was and is famous for killing innocent persons on road, abusing and beating girlfriends, having affairs with so many girlfriends, killing wildlife animals and had gone to jail also and now running charity being human sab bakwaas hai. People call srk gay but he is sucessfully married and has a wife and two children and also runs charity but never shows like salmaan. Now to all the people would you like your children to be salmaan or shahrukh?? Acting wise srk is far ahead of salmaan.

  • Check below status from BOX OFFICE KINGS WEBSITE; TRUTH IS TRUTH RA-ONE IS FAR BEHIND TO BODYGUARD.
    Ra.One has a 86 cr Weekend(All Versions)
    admin | October 31, 2011 | 0 Comments
    Ra.One(Hindi) did approx 81 cr Nett business in the first 5 days. It fell short of 85+ cr record of Bodyguard.

    The regional Tamil/Telugu version have added 5 cr approx bringing a total of 86 cr all versions.

    Considering the fact that the movie had higher ticket prices, plus lots more prints and 3D versions, the numbers are little underwhelming and more importantly with not much jumps on Saturday and Sunday, seems like the weekdays are bound to struggle.

  • I was expecting it from the sallu remake khan fans, they are quite irritated and have lost their brain after seeing the success of ra.one, bark…bark my dear sallu lallu fans.

  • haha…indicine team is constantly proving that how amateurish they are and how much they love salman…guyz take my words grow up and be professional…and do delete this post so that u can show ur amateur behavior… is this site run by salman???

  • so at last it proves dat salman is d real lovable hero. according to BOI(www.boxofficeindia.com)ra1 wil going to b flop.i just wonder wht u hasn,t done mr srk i think every possible promotion u hav done to promote ra 1
    u hav nt missed any chance.lot of things it proves dat salman is d most lovable khan.lets find differnce between bodygaurd nd ra1 then.prints-BG-2700+400,RA1-3500+900,(india+overseas) including 300+250 3D version nd 250 tamil nd telegu ver.promtin budget, ra1-52cr, BG-22 cr, nd ra one promotin start from icc criket world cup means 5 month before nd for BG just 1 month before.srk always promote his films with d help of boly biggies since OSO bt fr ra1 its out of limit like akon,a british band,dildara song english portion which s taken frm english song acording to ra1 director,rajni fr south fans, sanju,priyanka,amitabh voice nd lots of internathonal technition bt for BG its only about salman khan,u must say katrina also fr item song,in diwaly ticket price s also 25% high,so its time to accept dat salman is real big boss nd most lovable nd bankable superstar of bolywod nd salman is d one who gave bac to bac 3 ATBB like dabangg,ready nd bodygaurd most imp thing is gap of between ready nd BG is only 3 months.srk hav a chance bt he already gave a flop ra one let see wht wil do don2 for srk

  • Shams you seem to be right because i have also found many faults in this post, according to indicine there are only 2 stars in bodyguard but katrina is also there, they say budget of bodyguard is 45 crores but in real it is 60-65 crores, there are too many faults in this post to be mentioned , but they are trying to console these brainless sallu remake khan fans, so i have no objection.

  • let me share something which happened y’day.

    shahrukh sitting in the lawn of his house.
    enters sallu
    salman khan: bodyguard salman khan reporting sir.
    shahrukh khan: sir bada shareef sa lagta call me DON.

    salman bhai aaj kal yahi kar rahen hain, shahrukh ji ne use apna bodyguard bana liya hai.

  • @deepak kumar
    abe brainless ke bachche pehle apne brain ma ilaaj kara…kyuki ra1 ke flop ho jaane ke darr se tera brain kaam nahi kar raha.

  • beta log srk baap hai salman ka, kahte ho k 4000 screen pe release kiya hai ,oversese se kamaya to .kya salman ka aukat hai kya karne ka. Sale sare salman ,amir fan shiv sena mean indian media bhi mil kar ra.1 ko flop nahi kara paya

  • mere dushmano ko lagta hai mai kabhi wapas nahi aunga.ak gumnami ka samandar hai wahi kho jaunga…per ye adhuri kahani hai jo tum ko sunani hai.main hoon DON

  • shahrukh khan has the non-finished list of the great awrds in the history that its not stoped if start to read it….thats the stardum n kingdome of BADSHAH…..but lallu k pass mushkil se b 5 ya 6 award nai he…u can see it

  • Sab kehte hai srk king hai, kisne banaya usko king, woh self claimed king hai, waise har koi apne aap ko king samajh sakta hai isme koi burai nahi hai par, ise duniyo ko jor jabardasti manwana pagal pan hai aur paglo ka thkana kaha hai sabko pata hai shayad

  • @indicine first of all Raj Babbar, Aditya Pancholi and Mahesh Manjrekar are’nt they stars and in Bodyguard
    they spend more time unlike Ra.ones stars they just stay there 1 to 2 minutes, and Ra.one was a superhero movie eventhough it has brocken many records because how an illliterate or uneducated person can like or understand Ra.one but he can enjoy false fight of Bodyguard, Ra.one is a worldclass movie thats why even Americans like it very much because Don is Don and Bodyguard is Bodyguard.

  • Ra.one collected 96+cr in five days in India. Overseas five days net collection were 32+cr. With today domestic cl 102+cr. Bodyguard collected about 105+cr in 1st week. Ra.one rocked & now wait 4 DON 2.

  • Ra.One 7 Day Collections | Daily Breakdown
    Posted by admin on November 1st, 2011

    Ra.One’s Tuesday Box office Collections was very much similar to its monday collections which was disastrous for a film of this hype. The Film was unable to Show Big Jump on Sunday and indicated a poor run on weekdays.

    Here are the Final First 7 Days Collections for Ra.One’s Hindi Version Only:

    Wed – 15 crores
    Thursday – 23 crores
    Friday – 15 crores
    Saturday – 14.5 crores
    Sunday – 14 crores
    Monday – 6.5 crores
    Tuesday – 6 crores

    Total – 94 crores

    This is a Good Figure To help Ra.One Recover its Budget to some extent. These Figures are net figure and and represent the money which goes into investors’ pockets.
