Ra One vs 3 Idiots

Ra One is by far the biggest release of the year and also the most-hyped. If we’d have to pick one film this year that has decent chances of going past the 200-crore benchmark set by 3 Idiots – it has to be Ra One.

Some might argue that Don 2 also has a great chance as its a Christmas release and 3 Idiots too released on the same date. But, being an out-n-out action film it has to be outstandingly good to come close. Also, Don 2 releases on Friday unlike Ra One which will benefit immensely from the extended 5 day weekend.

Recently, many expected Bodyguard to go past 3 Idiots and although the film opened to huge numbers, the word-of-mouth was mixed (negative at places). The result? 110 crores in Week 1 (9 days), but after that the Salman Khan starrer managed less than 35 crores in Week 2, 3 and 4.

What further dented Bodyguard’s collections was the release of Mere Brother Ki Dulhan a week later. Luckily for Ra One, it has 2 open weeks. Ranbir Kapoor’s Rockstar, the first major release after Ra One releases 16 days later.

Come 26th October, it’ll be interesting to see if Ra One can beat 3 Idiots at the Indian box office. If it does, SRK will once again be hailed as the undisputed King of the Hindi film industry.

  • Well said sonam. Srk is a complete package to be called as mega star. Srk a living legend. I m proud to be srk fan.

  • Take a look at this

    Again, believe it or not but Eros will release the film in around 500-560 cinemas in the Overseas circuit, which is a record for a Hindi film. Some of the recent films like Bodyguard and Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara were released in Overseas by Eros in less than 300 cinemas.

    It means 550cinemas mein release hogi..If a cinema has average 3 screens(lets sayd)..then it means 1500+ total screens..worldwide..Incredible..

    150+Cr overseas ..sure shot atleast

  • @Fake Aashkaran..beta kitni jal rhi hai..

    @mn 3200 Screens have been confirmed..till now..and more are adding..as deals are being finalized ..1000prints for China..100for Russia..Its coming in German language to (SRK is god in Germany)..Then USA and other nations hasnt been disclosed..just this news has come out
    that it would be coming on 550+theatres overseas..that is double of the last releases ZNMD..BG which were on less than 300Theatres..

    Its Huge..and finally it would be 4000+prints easily..I guess 4250 shall be the no. of prints at the end..worldwide

  • Just saw bit of the movie at a trial through a close friend…hhahaha..the movie is full of world famous SRK hamming. Nobody can do hamming better than SRK. ahahahaha..life time business 98 crores.. Flop. Also in the trailer going on the TV where SRK’s son says Mom watch your mouth after Kareena uses abusive words..is full of hamming…and that just the trailer..Movie has worse comedy and hamming than Rascals.

  • @Sonam it has been sold at 150Cr..DON2 ka budget unknown but it may be 70-75Cr atleast
    as it is international level..

    @Fake Aashkaran..Bark Moron

  • i dont think so RA. ONE beat 3idiots

    i m also SRk fan i want to RA ONE creat history in bollywood, if not

    DON 2 sure (Inshaallah)

    best luck SRK

    U rockssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss all time

    so dont take any tension

  • I hope ra.one is the best movie story in the world.and it easily earn 450 crore.i think people like it very much and then everybody again declar that srk is the king of bollywood.i give a lot of thank to shahrukh for marry gauri.I belive that the destiny,luck of all things in the world in the hand of Allah.so ra.one bigger success in the hand of ALLAH.

  • Looking at the hype.. And 3500+ prints till now.. It is destined to cross 3 idiots marks easily..even in worst, it will be 150 cr+ for sure.. And it could be 250 if content is good

  • I m sure srk is better then amir.so ra one is will be better than 3 iditos.so there is no debateing between two movies.

  • I m very afraid for srk’s supper hero movie *Ra OnE*I have no relation with my bed at NIGHT since two month.Now i m felling vry much that i m actually idiot.BYE bye SRK pls FORGIVE mE.

  • i think ra.one is not a good film . RA-One will cross 125 crores and it will not beat 3 idiots and all Salmans movies.

  • Srk fans r scared. Why? Cos dy know ra one will b an average grosser. Even srk is super tensed. Wt all d hype, 3D n huge budjet, ra one’s trailers hv said it all. Its a child’s play. So all srk fans shld pls endeavour to start purchasing tickets everyday, 4 both urselves n ur entire family (dont leave anyone at home). If not, srk wll start applyn 4 endorsements n dance at weddns n market squares to make money. He shld pray to cross 100 crore n stop dreaming of surpassn 3 idiots. Truth hurts

  • Bhosdi walo srk haters tumhari gand to diwali pe jalegi salon 3 idiots to kya ra.one enthiran ka bhi record tod degi…

  • Yuppp…ra.1 z surely gonna cross 250 crore mark…coz shahrukh z playing it lyk a mastermind!!..for ex..shahrukh has involved rajnikantt who z lyk god f south..ppl surely gonna watch it due to him,akon…ra.1 z already popular in hollywud due to akon…last but nt d least chinese actor tom woo…through which ra.1 kan brek into china!!!

  • ra one can cross the benchmarks established by 3 idiots. Ra one is the most promoted film film ever in bollywood . also the SRK look and kareena ‘s charm mingled with numero uno “rajnikanth” can crush 3 idiots aamir.The music is awesome,an important factor and promos so far are decent. Promotion strategies are flawless.also SRK has global reputation which is definitely an edge over aamir. The film is going to create history . luckily , we can witness it
