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!

  • We enjoyed Ra.one very much even now infact train stopping sequence was way better than Spiderman 2s, even if Ra.one can’nt be a block buster or superhit due to its high budget but it will surely hit and Sallu fans Ek tha tiger is far away to break and make new records before that we the Shahrukh Khans fans will enjoy Don 2 and I am sure Don 2 will break and set a new opening day record which is currently held by Mallu Sallus Bodyguard.

  • srk has an un finished list of great awards…first u start to read it will never stopp…thats the STARDUM N KINGDOM OF KING KHAN….aur lallu ke pass mushkil se b 5 ya 6 award nai honge….uski bs iyni e izat he

  • @naushad
    srk ko king ka auda ksi aur se nai balke audience se hi mila he….aur wo apne amazing carisma se pure world me KING KHAN k NAM SE JANA JATA HE…srk has acheived such a great crown that no one can ever achieve it

  • Aap jaise audience se mila hai kya, aap log jo bahas karte hai ki woh king hai, badshah hai, kahe ka king hai jab apni badshaht main use apne film k liye itna hype create karna par raha hai, woh bhi 6 mahine pehle se, salman ki bodyguard, ready dabangg ya wanted ko le lijiye, kitna promote kiya gaya tha, phir bhi sari ki sari filme altbb ho gayi, ise kehte hai star power jo audience k sar par chadkar bolta hai, srk is good but salman is the best

  • Award award award aur award, award kaise milta hai aur kyon milta hai sabko pata, toh award ka gana band karo, aur salman k gun gau, kyonki award milne se koi king nahi hota, king toh woh hota hai jo dilo par raj karta hai, aur aap kisi bhi aam insan se poonch lo aapko jawab mil jayega ki dil par koun raj karta hai.

  • Are bhai log sallu always same act in every muvie but srk different toh king khan ke movie se kuch sikne ko milta hai but not in sallu so G.one is rock achhai hamesa jit jati hai

  • Naushad bhai for getting awards the minimum criteria is ACTING…how sad that even after spending more than 20 years salman acting is worse than chunky pandey…no offense to chunky pandeyz fans…

  • Dear keengheart i thnk u hv nt seen salman movie dats y u r teling lyk dat, so i reqst u plz see al d flm of salman den comnt, i hv seen srk mostly in romantc rol but 4 salman its diferent, he can do comedy actn romance, 4 ur help i m giving sum of d salman movies name, hddcs, hahk, msk, partner, veergati, jagruti, mpk, wanted, biwi no1, juddwa, phir milenge,etc etc etc

  • dear ferns,
    1st thing 1st if u compare srk with salman in india from box office point of view its same like comparing govinda with rajnikanth. well govinda was a super star at his prime but comparing him with rajini is quite unfair to him. u cannot beat rajini down south, look at his massive fan following n salman is the same. he has statured a demi god status over the years in the heart of his fan, he had flops 2 but he was never affected due to that and srk may not be able to resist 1/4th of the flops wat salman had in past 2-3 years if he did he would have been already a history. srk n salman both r mediocre actor with limited talents u cannot compare them with amir n amitabh but they r both successful actors. but success wat salman achieved is out of this world, his films are critic proof and his fans love him like anything. n since wanted n dabangg his selections r also intelligent so he is here to rule the hearts for years. srk is better in abroad but just take me for a granted amir will throw him out from there soon and with some intelligent moves salman is also going to increase his fan followings there massively. well ra.one is not a bad movie but it is not good movie either, neither he is salman n of course the movie does not worth the hype budge n huplas generated. well i think i have answered it all. thnx frens.

  • dont worry my fans i have lot of awards 1. I have killed innocent people on roads. 2. I have abused and beaten my girlfriends. 3. I had created a guiness record of having affairs with so many girlfriends. 4. I had privelege to go to jail on killing black bucks and chinkaara 5. And after having affairs with so many girlfriends i could not marry yet so i am impotent and this is my biggest award.

  • Kuch to sharm karo yar nam bhi dusro ka use kar rahe ho, aur rmake bol kar usi ko badnam karte ho shame, ise kehte hai jis thali main khaya usi main ched kiya

  • a few years ago when akshay kumar did singh is king…that time there was aslo a rumour arise that akshay is a king????but it was jst a rumour after that every one forgot abt this news… Becoz all knows that who is the actuall king for many years..so by doing a few movies hit no one can either cross the boundry of the KINGDOM or have a STUPENDOUS CROWN….iT IS ALWAS ON HIS PRECIOUS HEAD THE ONE WHO WON IT and is only SHAHRUKH KHAN…..is bat pe behs kerna bekar he qk srk k pas hi wo worthless crown he jise chinne ka khayal hi peda nai hota

  • O gaanduo mallu sallu k fans srk k article par apni maa kyun chudwa rahe ho saale sharabi k fans jao salman k page par

  • Vai SRK-ne to chori kiya hai hollywood movie ka sceens….. & went for door to door sell by promoting too much of this flim…. koye-vy angle-se Srk ko supper hiro nehi lagta vai…. so pls SRK fans dont compare srk with sallman vai… he (Sallu) is wat actually he(Sallu) is….

  • are agar salman tamil movie ka remake karta bhe hai
    To kya ye saala srk remake nahe krta ? Ye saala to hindi movies ka he remake krleta ! Dnt u remembr devdas nd don ? So chup baitho ,remake sb bnate hai.

  • ra.one is the worst ever srk movie & also the worstever movie of this decade or millenium whtever u say.. i am a big fan of srk but he really disappointed this time..

  • one wonders y srk spent rs.55 crores on publicity only. & some 100 crores & above for the film but the movie isn’t worth enough of ur 100/- rs.ticket..

  • more than 50 percent critics rejected ra one and also more than 60 percent audience had rejected ra one but ra ond grossed 170 crores worldwide on its opening weekend maximum by any movie in the history of indian cinema and this is the biggest slap on the faces of those critics and people who had rejected ra one and this is the star power of srk who is telling ukhad lo kya ukhad sakte ho.

  • @ imsrk , you see these awards cannot be achieved by anybody because i have registered in my name only because i am very intelligent. Ha, ha,ha,ha….

  • SRK is SRK for the reason being Karan Johar….Good Script….Yash Raj……..Salman doesnt need those movies……he is the reason that his movie works…….he dont need a good script or a great production house…..
    MOVIE MADE SRK
    SALMAN MAKES MOVIES……

  • @ teibs salmaan ki aukat nahi jo ki wo big banners movies mein kaam kar sake isliye south mein jaa ke apni marwa leta hai, lekin srk ko kahi jaane ki jarrorat nahi hai kyunke bade directors khud uske paas aate hai isliye uske paas chote directors ke liye time nahi.
