‘RA.One’ fails to beat Bodyguard’s opening week box office collection

Last Updated: 6.50 PM IST 06.28.2012
Superstar Shahrukh Khan’s RA.One released amidst the Diwali fiesta in both 2D and 3D. After SRK’s rigorous promotions and all the hype about the film, it managed to gather about Rs 170 crore worldwide at the box office in the opening weekend. In spite of releasing the film in more than 4000 screens worldwide and hiking up ticket prices, the film still falls short when compared to SRK’s arch rival, Salman Khan’s Bodyguard BO opening collection. Trade analysts however are willing to give the SRK superhero flick the benefit of doubt and wait till Monday before giving out the final verdict of the film’s fate. They expect the film to pick up post Monday and the real figures will then be calculated. But theatre owners are doubtful that the sales will pick up. In spite of releasing during the festival season, the film didn’t do as expected. So will SRK’s RA.One cross Bodyguard’s benchmark? Only time will tell!

    salman kaun hai,abhi abhi 123 film hit ho gaya toh apne aap ko king samajh raha hai, bollywood mein ek hi king hai aur woh hai srk,uske star power ka ek example yeh hai ki,india mein uske jitne fan following hai, oversses mein usse jyada hai. isiliye oversees mein top 5 film mein srk ke 4 film hai businees ke hisab se,aur all time hits mein dekho srk ki film sabse jyada hai, amitabh bachhan se bhi, 40 best actor award hai, salman ko toh abhitak nahin mila , sala 20 saal kaam karne k baad,controversy salman mein hamesa ghire rahti hai,sabse ghatia worst actor i have ever seen is salman khan,uday chopra se bhi jyada ghatia actor, bhad mein jaye salman aur uske fans

    alvira BB msg is absolutely correct.
    srk promoted his film raone by using bodygaurd
    poster on music launch of starplus show which
    telecasted every week on starplus channel.
    srk took dirty dig on salman.he insulted salman
    by morphing arjun face on salman face of bodygaurd poster.

    srk gave money to TOI n sm newspapers for wrting
    fake news of raone beaten bodygaurd 1st day record
    for pushing audience on theatre.
    everytime he is doing publicity of ra1 by spreading
    wrong figures of ra1 through media n comparinng it with bodygaurd.
    realy srk looser superhero needs bodygaurd for
    making his film hit n for publicity of his film.

    Bodyguard is …ehm…a benchmark?
    RA.ONE is different. Not only the SRK factor, it’s the fact that technology just got reinvented in Indian cinema with this. So while you’re making kinda irrelevant comparisons, make sure you at least stick to the same field.

    Phir milenge, khamoshi the musical, heros, tere naam???
    Phir milenege- lead role- shilpa shetty
    Khamoshi- Manisha and Nana and Seema biswas, salman was no where
    heros- guest appearence
    only tere naam
    so these are the mile stone movies (except tere naam) of salman khan’s carreer??? lolz..

    devdas, my name is khan, chak de india were the blockbusters and for swadesh even srk’s haters appreciate him.

    ‎5 ways to become a member/part of being human foundation:-

    1. Kill a deer/black buck.
    2. kill innocent people sleeping on pavements by driving drunk & run away from the scene.
    3. Abuse/hit your girlfriend(Aishwarya).
    4. Make threatning calls to other actors(vivek oberoi).
    5. Start negative campaign against your rival actor when his movie releases.

    Hence proved that Salman is being human & SRK is a good human being…

      I THINK AND ALL SENSIBLE PEOPLE AGREE THAT PANDIT ARE MAD AND RA.ONE TOTALLY SENSELESS FILM AND TIME AND MONEY WASTE FILM. BODYGUARD VERY POWERFULL AND PAISA WASOOL FILM. ONE THING PANDIT SAID RIGHT NO COMPARISON IN BETWEEN RA.ONE AND BODYGUARD CAUSE BODYGUARD IS AMAZING FILM AND RA.ONE PAKAOO AND MONEY WASTE MOVIE. SRK LOSER NOW KING OF KHAN IS SALMAN KHAN.

      JK – this is the difference btw SRK and Salman fan; what do u mean auto rikshaw. i but u r a loser who has no job so u put any person who works hard to put food on table for his family.
      SRK is mein this and mein that a loser
      while Salman who doesn’t need to say anything; he doesn’t need all the gimmicks so people can come and watch his movie.

    This shows, Salman is the biggest star, people will go see his film only for him. and not for any special effects.
