Ra One crashes on Monday

For a mega-budget film like Ra One, the day after the weekends was always going to be important. Weekdays are dreaded, mainly because the ‘actual verdict’ is clearly evident only after all the hype subsides.

Ra One started slow on Monday and never really picked up, with collections around 6 crores – the film has crashed by more than 60% compared to it’s first Friday. The trending is similar to My Name Is Khan, which also had a spectacular weekend but had a free-fall from Monday on-wards. 

While the weekend for Ra One was record-breaking, the film now needs to remain steady during the remaining weekdays and then pick up in week two. Otherwise, even 150 crores (which looked pretty easy initially) is likely to be difficult to cross.

Can Ra One cross 150 crores at the Indian box-office? Tell us in the comments section below

  • Indicine is jst criticizing the movie by publishing anti Ra.One news…
    Majority websites r giving gud reviews…
    also rotten tomatoes ratings r 78% wich is even greater than Iron Man 2…..

    all u r giving is a negative review….
    Also for salman fans, this movie is technicaly advanced original movie nt a remake….:)

  • Ra1 is an over budgeted movie with some ok vfx and very bad screenplay and is heading towards flop status in India. Look at this aashkaran guy saying budget is 140 crs when he shouting from the top of the world a week before ra1 that budget is 200 crs. Dude be honest with urself.. It’s Srk who lied and not a website misinforming. By the way dude u r still not calling salman ur daddy

  • Ra.one is not a good movie. It is just one timet watch. Hope don 2 will be a huge hit. All the best srk and happy b’day to you

  • All Srk fans,

    Ra.One release hokar flop bhi ho gayi lekin abhitak aap ko uska budget bhi pata nahi hai.

    Chalo mai hi bata deta hu, 125 cr(making) + 50 cr(Srk used for promotions)= 175 cr.

    Now srk got 40 (Sat.rights)+ 10(music rights) + 150 (distr. rights) = 200 cr.

    Means Srk had 25 cr profit.

    But for make a film it have recover its distributors rights means 150 cr.

    Bodyguard’s lifetime collection is 227 cr & its distributor right is around 90 to 95 cr.

    Now you can calculate ‘what collections required to recover the investment of dists.’

    According number of trade experts Erros is going to face loss.
    For more information check Hindusthan Times todays report.

    Actualy Srk ne khud to profit kamaya lekin usane distributors ko dubaya.
    Shame on Srk.

  • Ra.one set to make 19-22 crores losses

    Revenue estimations:

    Ra1 looks set to make 97-98 cr extended week 1.

    Because of extended week 1,second week fall wil be more.But due to Eid on monday,fall in second week might be slightly less than BG.
    Second week will be 24-27 cr. (70-75 % drop)

    Third week fall wil be higher as rockstar is releasing.80-85% drop can be expected.3-5 cr week 3.

    Approx 124-130 cr will be the final nett without regional collections.
    With regional,the final nett should be around 129-135 with a DS of around 69.6cr-72.9cr

    Overseas has been 30 cr in 5 days.I dont think it wil make more than 50-55 cr.Final neet after release in non-traditional markets looks to be 70-75 cr max with DS of 31.5cr-33.75cr

    Total DS share : (69.6cr-72.9cr) + (31.5cr-33.75cr) = 101.1cr-106.6cr

    DS reqd = 121-129 cr

    Loss = 19.9cr-22.4cr approx

    Cost estimates:

    Production cost – 150 cr

    Marketing budget – 35-40 crores

    Prints cost (Extensive release)- 25 crores

    Landing cost : 210-215 cr

    Brand associations – 35-40 cr

    Music launch sold to star TV – 10 cr

    Satellite(deducting taxes) – 24-27 cr

    Music rights – 7 cr

    DTH rights – 5 cr

    Non theatrical revenues : 81-89 crores

    Amount to be recovered : 121-129 crores

    Indian theatrical – 165 cr (90 cr DS)

    overseas theatrical – 88 crores (40 cr DS)

  • @ indicine what’s the actual budget of ra one, there is lot of confusion, kindly clarify producer says 130 crores, some say 150 or 175 crores?? whether one will be able to know the exact budget of ra one or it will remain a suspense. BOI also do not have any information on budget.

    • Total costs is 175 crores, including costs for production, 3D conversion, print and marketing (these are from reliable sources). Everyone has a different number, but the actual number only the producer would probably know!

  • ra one ak bore gandee movie hi jo is movie ko dakhe ose anaam mlegee flooooooooooooop floooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooop

  • watever. srk is bollywood ka badshah. salman is not only a bad actor but also a bad human being. in real life he kill people and in reel life he kills audience. bodyguard was headache. ra.1 is an excellent movie. computer illiterate salman fans won’t understand it. they only like cheap salman doing cheap acts such as removing shirt. srk is an actor who has taken bollywood to d next level. he is most popular bollywood actor in overseas and in india…do i need to tell. .he is the king.

  • Ra.One is declared Flop, because being a mega project it didnot collected 100 Crores in 7 days from India. Its collections are dropping allover India. UP/Delhi are worst. Mumbai and gujrat are very bad. Its word of mouth is extremely negative. Ra.One is a flop.

  • SRK ki popularity is baat se jaahir ho jaati hai ki ye mallu sallu k fan ra.one k article pe aake apni maa chudwa rahe hai kyunki salman se related articles par to koi thookta bhi nahin..
    Badhiya hai jitna bhokoge utni srk ki popularity badhegi.. Just carry on..

  • @Anil: Ra.One is much better than spidermans, batmans & supermans. Again these types of stupid comments have pulled Ra.One down. You think you are promoting the movie but instead you are making people laugh at it.Some are saying the effects are better than Avatar.Seriously use ur brains before commenting.

  • hello everyone! Ra.one is a superb a movie. Ra.one movie ki khaas baat yeh hai ki is movie ko ek baar dekhne ke liye koi bhi insan excited ho sakta hai. Iska pehla weekend(rs.170cr.) ye prove karta hai. Lekin is movie ki kami yeh hai ki yeh movie kisi ko doosri baar dekhne ke liye attract nahin kar sakti. Yehi wajah hai ki iska business day by day down hota ja raha hai. But nevertheless ra.one is a good movie. Every thing is perfect in this movie. But the 2nd time attraction is not in this movie. Nobody want to watch 2nd time this movie than the first time. When the people watched this movie at first time the liked it because it is good of course. But it can’t attract the people second time and I think that it is so because there is no suspese or interesting thing for second time.

  • Hit or flop ka faisla to aane wala waqt karega. And of course shahrukh khan is the king of the bollywood aur kisi ko king banna hai to wo pehle prince ban jaye. SRK is the king the bollywood for ever(since 1994) and the evergreen actor the bollywood. Pareshani to sab par aati hai. Insan to kya chaand aur suraj par bhi aati hai. Khuda apne naik bandon ka imtihaan to leta hai. SRK ke liye yeh wohi waqt hai. SRK will pass it. My best wishes are with SRK for ever.

  • Ra one falls drastically, short of even Murder2 collections

    prakashjaju 2 hours
    Ra1 – 2nd week – First day(Wednesday) – 2.90 cr (Body Guard was 4.80, Ready 4.52, Singham 4.48, Murder2 2.93 )

    Distributors are crying foul as they are certain to lose more than 50% of their investment.

  • In history of Indian cinema, distributors would not have suffered so much loss as they will in Ra One

    prakashjaju 1 Nov In history of Indian cinema distributors would not have suffered so much loss as they will in Ra1, many will be forced to shut their shops.

    prakashjaju 1 Nov I’ll give simple example, Ra1 was sold for 3.27 cr for Central India, 1st week collns r 3 cr, distributors share will be apprx 1.60 cr..cont.

    prakashjaju 1 Nov Contd .. 2nd week can’t go more than 70 lacs, dist share 30 lacs, Total share 1.90 cr, loss of 1.37 cr from a small territory CI …

  • salman khan was, is and will be in future a flop master……………..he gives 12 flop movie in a row before tere nam to his well wishers……………….><

  • To be Honest.. I have not seen G-one’s movie.. We used to watch SRK a lot and a lot..but since when he started claiming himself and himself as a king every where.. he looks so ordinary who he is I believe..The King never calls him self King..But I guess this King has a sort of un surity over his kingdom ..so weak and really very weak.. As a matter of fact he fought with Salman Bhai and dint showed up positive till date,No matter he make 150 cr indian rupee movie or 150 Euro movie , me and a group of my friends have already decided..” Not to Watch him..at all” We will watch Aamir Khan and will surely watch Salman Bhai’s movie but not SRK’s even if the ticket is free..
    Before I was his fan but no more..
