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.

  • Not sure if Ra.One will beat the record of 3 Idiots. But I can say for sure that 3 Idiots is a much better movie. What stands out about 3I is its great script and stand-out performances by all its lead actors. In contrast, SRK movies are all about SRK. A one-man show does tend to get boring after a while. Maybe I am old-fashioned, but I want movies to be about human beings and I want to see something credible on the screen. By the way, if you give me a choice between Ra.One, 3 Idiots and Padosan, I will watch Padosan any day. No one can equal Mehmood and Kishore Kumar in Padosan, with strong performances from Sunil Dutt and Saira Banu as well. SRK can take a few tips from Mehmood on how to pull off a funny act posing as a Tamilian.
