Ra One unlikely to beat 3 Idiots

Ra One released today to a mixed response; a certain section of the audience, especially the kids have liked the film. But the college going students, who are exposed to mega-budget Hollywood flicks, have rejected it outright. For a film to beat the 201 crore record of 3 Idiots, it has to be universally liked and the word-of-mouth – which isn’t very positive for Ra One – has to be super strong.

Although a little too early, its probably safe to predict that Ra One is unlikely to beat 3 Idiots and the record, atleast until the release of Don 2 later this year, is safe!

Have your friends and colleagues liked the film? Think Ra One still has a chance to beat 3 Idiots, even though the Day 1 collections are expected to be lower than Bodyguard?

  • Soumya you grow up bro. Aamir and Salman can’t make a movie to be a blockbuster or flop. when majority likes then it become a super hit or BB or ATBB. But when only fans of of concerned star like the movie thn fans like u say that Salman’s fans don’t understand computer and science so they wont appreciate Ra One and some of them are just being biased.A very well made film.I couldn’t find any difference between last 3 Salman Khan movies they were all the same.Where as SRK gave a MNIK , Ra One , Don 2 which are completely different from each other.

    plz dont blame others when they dont like movies that u or srk fans hv liked

  • 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

  • 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!

  • salman khans fan r nt able to understand ra one bcs they r mind-less thats why they do not like this movie and even they r not aware of computer,\……hahaha now no more hud hud dabanggg only

    G One G one

    u rock king khan

    and u proved that why r u king of bollywood….

  • The very day after Diwali is used to meet, greet and have fun. Nothing like Puja effect today- Thursday! Big holiday! Expecting to be 30% to 50% bigger than Wednesday. Same in case of Golmaal-3! So it may touch 25 crore today! Fingers crossed!

  • I think Indicine Chamckey hain Salman khan ki..aur nahin to revies itna bura nahin hota…Indice just wait abhi bhi to weekend our 9 days week baki hain phir koyi comments karna..Box office shows the result not ur Poor cheap kind of Mentality..

    Allow me to quote ” all reviewers of trade n experts given excellent reports to ra.one except some haters who r here n everywhere to destroy films record” go n watch this mov is like of its 1st kind in INDIA..RA.ONE SIMPLY ROXX..Comparing Ra.one with Bodyguard is degrading Ra.one. Ra.one is a class above and not like bodyguard with a moron storyline and hopeless movie.

  • ra.one is a disappointed for us,..,.it is only for children but not for youth…so wait for rockstar or dirtypicture.,,

  • Bodyguard collected >85cr in first weekened & it was housefull in most of the multiplexes..which proves his fan following is not illeterate. Actually, his fans are very loyal to him…no matter what the crap movie is , they will watch the movie. SRK has also done remakes…DON, DEVDAS….If u are taking 9 months for promoting + u have 800 more screens in india than Bodyguard+ there is 20% hike in the rates of tickets+ in promotion u are spending 45 cr + collaberated with >40 brands+ video game+blah-2….. & then also u are not able to break any record then….sry to say. u are not KING KHAN.

  • No way it can beat the record of either 3 Idiots, Bodyguard or Dabangg! It is a one time watch and curiosity of people will lessen day after day. Finally, the business of Ra.One will falter. But I am really expecting something from Don 2.

  • Ra one is a worth to watch .it is better that rajnikanth’s ROBOT. it is highly creditable because of SRK.I think 2011 is a very luckiest year for SRK.

  • @Salman Rocks

    beta news has come that combining all the prints…>Ra.One’s gross is 18.5 Crore//ab beta tu haargya hai..BOI didnt incl tamil and telgu prints..

    Wait for Thurs 22+ for sure

  • 3 idiots opening day record was 13 crore while Ra.ones day 1 record is 18.5 crores because it has badly affected by Diwali day guys the day 2 collection will be higher than the day 1 and guys picture abhi baki hai jab tak cinemas mein hai chances are their of breaking the 3 idiots record.

  • Tumlog yahaan par kya ratt laga rakkhi hai…Diwaali ke wajah se Ra-one ne bodyguard ka 1st day recoed nahi thoda…Bodyguard bhi tho Eid Ke din hi release hui thi…aur dabanng bhi eid ke din hi release hui thi…aur Ra-one tho 800 prints zyaada the bodyguard se…agar diwali nahi bhi hoti tho ra-one ke liye mushkil tha day 1 reocrd thodna…………

  • And whos saying there are adult jokes in Ra.ones like condom, and how about 3 idiots scenes like Blatkaar and Stun and more and also in the advertisemetns of our television channels there are plenty of just adults 18+ ads like Condoms deodrants like Axe e.t.c and many things when we have to change the channel just because of the ad.

  • Ra.One has run riot on thursday across the country. Yesterday it started like a runaway train but hit a block in the form of Diwali puja but today it started in the same way but no block.

    The film is recording full houses at multiplexes and single screens across the country. If North India was slow after 1pm yesterday, today it is shattering all records. On Wednesday, only three circuit records were made for the first day but today it is likely that it will record the highest all time collections single day collections in almost every circuit of India.

    Yesterday it was almost certain around 7pm that it will not beat the first day record and today around 7pm it is certain that it will be recording the biggest day in history just a question of how far ahead it goes of the 20.60 crore nett record.

  • Once again Sharukh aka King Khan has proved himself the one and only in Bollywood. I dont know why people are comparing the movie RaOne with Bodyguard or Dabangg. These films been rated and easily collected the huge ammount because most of the pple of India are illiterate and like Romantic movie much.
    RaOne is not for all catagories, it been developed as Hollywood.
    Go on RaOne, i wish your grand success :)

  • i hop most of them has watched the film ……….each and every one has to noe that its not abt breaking records ……its that SRK has done which has never than in Bollywood …..nor Amir khan or Salman can do and will do it ………….so this is one of the best films …….by SRK ……thanks STK for this film VXF are best in the indian cinema ……AND to all Salman & Amir Khan fans ……like you guys SRK never do remake like you do always …………….
