Three of the biggest box office openers this year – Ra One, Ready and Bodyguard – are all masala flicks catering to a huge audience both in India and overseas. While Ready and Bodyguard cost less and were far less promoted, the opening numbers are comparable with Shahrukh Khan’s ambitious Ra One.
Day 1: Bodyguard released during EID and Ra One for Diwali, both holidays but the SRK starrer was affected by Diwali celebrations as collections witnessed a sharp dip for the afternoon and evening shows. Bodyguard of course, released on less number of prints went on to do 21 crores of business on Day 1 in India. Ready was a non-festive release and still did well. Winner – Bodyguard
Day 2: Belongs to SRK’s Ra One. The film had a historic Thursday amassing collections in excess of 24 crores – the biggest single day collections in the history of the Hindi film industry. Comparatively, Bodyguard did pretty well too. Ready was much lower. Winner – Ra One
Day 3: While collections of dubbed regional language versions plunged, Ra One in Hindi (especially the 3D version) was rock solid considering that it was a working day in most parts of the country. Bodyguard too was steady, witnessing approximately the same percentage of drop on the third day of its release. Ready picked up considerably as it was a Sunday. Winner – Ra One
| Ra One | Bodyguard | Ready | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | 18.5 crores | 21 crores | 16 crores |
| Day 2 | 25 crores | 18 crores | 12 crores |
| Day 3 | 16 crores | 13.5 crores | 15 crores |
| Total | 59.5 crores | 52.5 crores | 43 crores |
As is pretty evident from the table above, Ra One is ahead by more than 15% compared to the second best – Bodyguard. If combined with overseas business, Ra One is way ahead of all Hindi releases so far this year.
Irrespective of what happens from here on, SRK has proved once again, that he belongs right up there somewhere in the Top 3. Don 2 is likely to be less promoted and it should be interesting to see how it matches up to these 3 money-spinners.
Stay tuned for more on Ra One.. Do tell us what you think of the comparison above in the comments section below.
SRK has made a never seen before film? Have his fans forgotten Endhiran/Robot which released and broke all box office records last year? Nothing is new or never seen before in case of Ra 1!
And making expensive films is nothing to beat one’s chest about! Ulta yeh toh sharam ki baat hai ki itna paisa kharch kar ke bhi achi script nahi bana paaye! Forgot the script!
Even Akshay Kumar’s Kambakht Ishq, Blue, TMK were big budget films, but all lacked substance and failed!
SRK went to finale’s of big TV shows. So? What’s the big deal? Ulta yeh toh phir sharam ki baat hai ki itne bade shows ke finale par jaa kar promote kiya, phir bhi film peeche reh gayi!
SRK is ”somewhere” in top 3. Yeh haal hai so-called king ka? Itni promotion ke baad bhi only somewhere in top 3?
srk is that type hero who is give all times superhit film .while we compare of sallu he gave recently 2-3 hit films.srk made always record.only srk broke the sholay record.why because srk is the real hero.; ra.one is the latest tehno gift from them side.now we can proudly.if u have spiderman than we have g.one and most dangerous villon ra.one,it gives a new direction to the bollywood cinema.so we can proudly we can made different films like ra.one rather masala films because auidence has bored to watched .that why they give thier prefrence to hollywood movie.

now makew u r choice.
Ra One has been flopped from the day it release,opening big does not mean the film is a hit but that is just initial of the film ,monday is showing the poor performance ,there was a risk with this sort of film.
srk pulling power has recovred half of the film and maybe it will recover its cost but being mixed reviews,some part the film has failed…overseas seen the drop aswell..the film is crap so it will see crash and will be declared flop by coming days
I am replying the guy call amit that srk being only hero and salman is no where ,please be real,if srk was that good then have you seen his list of flops….its huge and superstars do go forever but srk big films like ashka,paheli,swadesh were major flops..where were srk fans ,why they were not makinh this flops into hits…
evry fans of srk will need to see 4 times to make and favour the film to become a hit…
Ra One has flopped because the cost of the film..srk is not that good that it will do rajnikant robot
Ra one kesi hi ho lekin 100 cr shahrukh ne sirf apne naam se kmaya he.shahrukh ka naam hi kaafi hota he
Srk is best

ra.one is the flop picture but ra.one music or songs is the hit.
