The Sarkar Raj box-office collections in UK has been mis-reported by many. It has been declared a flop by a few in the trade while some have claimed that it has done exceedingly well. The fact is, Sarkar Raj, starring the Bachchans in the lead, has actually done excellent business for a movie of its genre.
We provide you, exclusively, with the Facts and Figures of the Performance of Sarkar Raj in UK (United Kingdom). Drop in your comments below.
- Sarkar Raj grosses £206,000 on UK box office in first weekend, featuring on UK Top 10 (No 9)
- By doing so, in 3 days, it surpassed the entire collections of SARKAR (£176,000)
- By doing so, in 3 days, it has surpassed the entire collections of 2007 films such as Aap Ka Suroor (116,000) Life in a Metro (£159,000) Honeymoon Travels (£143,000) and Shootout At Lokhandwala (£155,000) a film from a similar genre.
- UK audiences are not experimental in the sense that they need their formula films consisting of big stars, wedding songs, colourful designer clothes, 5 songs, high voltage emotional drama and a happy ending family film where kids will enjoy too. SARKAR RAJ defies all these norms, to break the tradition and set the path for a changing scenario, creating an opening for a film of this nature. Incidentally, films like Murder, Gangster, Ek Hasina Thi, Bheja Fry have not released theatrically in UK for commercial reasons and expenses not being covered. UK being a Yash Raj favourite supported Chak De only by grossing £434,000 where the film ended
- As of Tuesday 17th June (12 days of film running in Cinemas) SR has grossed £342,000 with all 55 prints running in UK same as from date of launch

Thanks for ur news! Many media have circulated a negative vibes for sarkar raj to make the moral of bacchans down.
Great that your article will put the controversy about UK BO collection to the rest. I am glad to know that movie has done excellent business in UK.
Thanks for giving in these figures. Sarkar Raj is doing great in Overseas. First dark film to have worked in that market!!! else only Yash Chopra and Karan Johar movies do so exceptionally well….
And since these figures have come from the distributors EROS it is more believable than coming from the producers who would else spice up the numbers….
Good work guys!
amitabh is king of bollywood and abhisek is future king of bollywood !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sarkar raj is so good movie
