Ra One – 14.63 Crores on Day 1

Now this has not only surprised us, but the Day 1 collections of Ra One are pretty shocking. Yes, it was Diwali and the afternoon – evening shows were affected, but..

  • Ra One  released on close to 3500 prints whereas Bodyguard was released on less than 2000 (on Wednesday)
  • The ticket prices at multiplexes were about 10% more expensive than Bodyguard (the prices of tickets were increased just like 3 Idiots)
  • With 100% collections all over India, the total capacity of Ra One was around 34 – 35 crores. Which also means, at about 14.5 crores, the collections were about 35 – 40% for Day 1.
  • Bodyguard released at 1PM on Wednesday and didn’t have the widest of releases. Still, managed to set a record of 21 crores.

At worst, due to all the hype and craze, we expected Ra One to easily cross 20 crores.

On a more positive note, Day 2 collections (even for noon shows) had better occupancy and we expect around 18 – 20 crores by the end of the day.

Please do not misunderstand this comparison, we are only comparing Bodyguard to Ra One because the former currently holds the Day 1 record. This is not a SRK vs Salman battle.

  • Salman Khan rocks, SRK best of luck for Don 2. As for as SRK fans r concerned, picture abhi baki hai mere doston

  • And if we add regional’s collections, the exact figure is 18.25 crores. It’s really really heartbreaking. It was affected by something which usually has nothing to do with Cinema- Diwali Puja! Sad! According to Boxofficeindia, opening was 100% everywhere but Delhi, Punjab, UP and MP were hit hard by Diwali Puja as the film went as low as 25% for some shows in these regions and even after Diwali collections were no way near the morning levels.

    SRK was advised to release it on Thursday. He knew Diwali Puja might affect the wave. But really he is an amazing planner. He released it on very day of Diwali, got affected…And now better a 5-Day weekend might help a bit in revenues. Many trade analysts already said that not sure Ra.One would break Day-1 record or not but it would surely thrash opening weekend and opening week records of Bodyguard. The very day after Diwali is used to meet, greet and have fun. Nothing like Puja effect today! And as Taran Adrash tweeted that Thursday going to be humongous. Big holiday! Expecting to be 30% to 50% bigger than Wednesday.

    No worry! If SRK released it on Thursday, he would get a 4-day weekend and that 4-Day weekend eventually could stop him to break opening weekend and opening week records despite it might break opening day record in Diwali Puja’s absence then……Kabhi kabhi kuch jeetne ke liye kuch harna bhi padta hai. Aur har kar jeetne walon ko Baazigar kehte hain……Phle 1 record break hota, 2 bach jate! Ab 1 bach gya, lekin 2 tuttenge! Satisfactory!

    To all other people(Salman/Aamir fans etc..), Celebrating the fact that Ra one couldn’t break Day-1 record of Bodyguard due to Diwali Puja, is like celebrating when another man gives your lady an orgasm just because you can’t do it! LOL….Somebody got it?:D

  • yes picture abhi baaki hai…. Wait for weekend collection… Wait for overseas collection…

    @indicine.. Wat abt the collection frm tamil nadu and kerala.. And do u think next 5 days will be
    damp important

  • But one thing that screwing my mind is that how Salman fans r behaving after release? Retards! Morons!
    Before release, they were boasting that Ra.One won’t break record of Bodyguard. Now Ra.One thrashed Bodyguard, they r giving poor reviews without even watching the flick and misleading the people?
    I’ve came across many such comments on many websites even before 9 Am and 10 AM? How ironic! Tab tak phla show bhi pura nhi hua tha…LOL!

    Cheap mentality people!
    Come on guys, appreciate the stuff which going to take Hindi films to next level. Don’t be jealous.

    And it’s Bollywood film which ought to have songs, sentimental elements and some boring family meet scenes. So don’t get confused with story.
    Little bit copy of Hollywood is okay rather than making exact copy of Telugu movies. :P

    The most I loved about movie is screenplay. Movie unfolds in outstanding way. It’s a wholesome entertainer. Action scenes going to get u on d edge. Go watch it people otherwise u’ll regret later.

    SRK! Bring it on. The Undisputed King!

  • hahahahaha
    all srk fans!
    now cry ur hearts out…….
    the movie didn’t break even dabbang’s record…
    n more than that,no one is liking this crap,the WOM is really bad…
    hahahaha
    cry srk fans cry..

  • Weekend very very important now.. The only worry is the word-of-mouth.. If it’s good, the weekend collections will be strong, or else it could be low. Anything less than 70-75 crores will be very disappointing. But today the collections are better :) Let’s hope it crosses 20 crores today.

  • Sorry to say Indicine, you have really published wrong collections of Ra.One.
    It is 25cr+ in India only. How can you just published like that. This show your website only supports Salman & his copied remakes.

  • Loooooooooooooooooooooooooool SRK you r ruined …. Don’t even think of any competition with Aamir, you r out of the race :)

  • srk fans
    cry ur hearts out…
    aamir khan rocks
    just wait for aamir’s movies n see hw records are brocken.

  • Salman is the Best!

    Ra One can’t beat bodyguard, dabbing and even Ready.

    i believe that 3 idiots lifetime record can only beat Salman’s any next film. Hopefully Dabangg 2

  • Box Office India just updated to 14.6 crores
    Indicine do you think there is a realistic chance of Ra One grossing an average of 20 crores over the next 4 days to at least match the opening of Bodyguard.
    If that doesn’t happen then surely the movie cannot be hit

  • hey guys did u notice there’s not even a single comment from aashkaren. So sad aashkaren don’t cry :) don’t will do well. So this will be a big learning for all those fans who accuses other actor works ( don’t misunder stood me i am taking in favour of both actors. It really doesn’t matter whether a movie is a remake or not. All that matters is work. Although good it was an good attempt by ra. One but not good enough to meet international standards. Hope don’t goes well.

  • RA.ONE has collected approx Rs 25 cr on its opening Day [Diwali] from India and Overseas markets. The breakup is as follows:-
    India – Rs 18.5 cr nett, includes Hindi, Tamil and Telugu versions; Overseas – Rs 6.5 cr.

    In India, RA.ONE took an electrifying start on Wednesday noon, but the business slowed down considerably on Wednesday evening onwards due to pooja and festivities. However, the business is expected to grow manifold on Thursday.

    Internationally, the film is all set to create new records as it collected Rs 6.5 cr on Wednesday. The breakup is as follows:-
    UK – Rs 1.5 cr, USA – Rs 1.5 cr, UAE – Rs 1 cr, Singapore – Rs 60 lacs, Australia – Rs 18.3 lacs. Many territories figures are yet to report.
