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.
What do you think? Can Ra One beat 3 Idiots? Tell us in the comments section below (Please try and be sensible, otherwise your comments will be deleted)
SRK ko king aise hi nahin kahte jitni worldwide fan following uski hai kisi ki nahin…
u said it Indicine
I think it get superhit status 150cr and blokbluster status in 175cr because distributar share much high due to huge opening and stronge single screen business.
Yes Ra.one definatly beat 3 IDIOT
Because SRK is king of the Bollywood
ra_one beat 3 idots easily
Hey now who is this fake Aashkaran..who is for SRK..
do do duplicate hain mere..waah
Raone will hve hue opening but can nvr b like 3 idiots nt coz of jst amir coz of Hirani as well …..one simple thing Ra one wil nt ve repeated audience at all unlike 3 idiots ..most of the amir khan movies , even if watched 2day will luk gud ..but SRK movies ..tk an exmple of rabne baanadi jodi, wife nt identifying husbnd wihtout moustaches, raichand parivar( entire family use private choppers as mode of trnsport)..KKHH college is more like a fashion show campus, SRK old movies were much better thn the recent movies…
ra one 1st day gross will be 35 to 40 crore in india.mark my words.
Definately 350 Crores are in cards
Bussiness toh achcha karega hi…..rajinikant ka jo cameo hai……baki film toh launch hote hi flop ho gaya……
Zyada se zyada 50 cr thats it……..
End of year this is how box office will look: Wordwide Gross top 5
Ra.One 500 Crores
Don 2 – 422
3 Idiots – 339
Agneepath 250
I am hope-full that King khan Sharukh Khan definitely defeats the 3 idiots film.
Because Sharukh is not made for defeat God has created him for winning.
yes..itne saal hogye 3I ka record nahi toota..Sallu toh thak gya..koshish kr kr ke..Har ek south film krke dekhli..ab King Khan ki baari hai..after off the beat MNIK which did 200Cr worldwide..its Ra.One’s turn..which is commercial..and it will re-write all records..450Worldwide for sure
srk is better than sallu because his choase oe film better than sallu.
definitky ra.one wl beat 3 idots and srk wi remain king of bollywood fr ever
ra.one wl do busnss more than 1000 crs and dnt compare sallu and amir with king khan. they are just equal to knee of shahrukh khan
Given the number of prints, deewaali release with 5 days extended weekend, 3D version, the film should cross the 3idiots benchmark, but I doubt how big the business will be if it turns out to be a disappointment…
Yes i m very much sure that it will break three idiots record. King khan is back. My prediction is 250 crore in india nd 450 crore worldwide. But we can expect more than this bcz its king khan so be ready for surprises. Love u king khan.
Its srk movie there is no possibility of disappointment. I hv watched all srk movies more than two times nd i always enjoyed. Long live king khan.

mn nicely predicted..bt wknd would be 100-110Cr for sure..95Cr is lesser..also it should end at 240Cr
agreed with the rest..but I think DON2 will do 170Cr..
Hope ur predictions are bang on
THE ANSWER IS AN UNEQUIVOCAL YES.
Ra one will do business of 150crore plus in first 5 days worldwide………Inshallah
Definetely ra. One will break records of 3 idiot
koi dought nai ra.one will be goin to brake 3idiot record ra one bolly ki ab tak kee sabse badee movie hogi
i dont think Ra.one will cross 3idiots collection..caz
1.masses will not enjoy a complex superhero film like Ra.1
2.3idiots was a superb film in all respect.. definitely Ra.1 will be a great film but not lyk idiots
3.i guess Ra.1 collection should be 180+ crores
4.ppl saw 3idiots 3.4,5 times but a high thought supernatural film wold nvr create such gem in india
Ra one first week 150 carore life time or total final 400 carore all time balockbuster
Ra.One has extremely high chances of breaking many records set by previous films. Lets take it this way, there has been so much buzz and hype for its release on Diwali day. Shahrukh has not left any show, or website, or city and much more to promote the film, you name it. People have been impressed by the trailers and the chartbusting music of the film. Anxiu Adding on, it is the first open Science Fiction film of India. We have now come to a stage where Bollywood can meet the Hollywood standards. Bodyguard opened on Eid on a wednesday and Ra.One opens on Diwali which is also on a wednesday. On Eid, there is no a large number of people who take a holiday since India is mostly a hindu community. Speaking on Diwali, it is a hidu festival. More than 80 percent of Inida is hindu. So we can expect housefull cinemas and in my perspective, the opening may be about 27-28 crore and no less since if you look at the number of screens it is releasing on: 3200 in India alone. And as for overseas, there are more than 1000 it is releasing in. Then we have Thursday,Friday, Saturday and Sunday. If Thursday has atleast 17 crore, Friday 18-19 crore, Saturday 22 crore and a mega Sunday of 26 crore, a total of atleast 110 crore in 5 days flat. That I think is not impossible but if only something goes terribly wrong(negative words of mouth etc..), then expect the worst disaster for Shahrukh since he has invested so much into the film. Even a 105 crore 5 day rules out the chances of flop. The main thing here is that Ra. One has to cross the 200 crore mark and that too within two weeks befor Rockstar release, where business may gradually decline(as always the case). The possibility of beating Three Idiots, previous Salman records are under threat if everything goes the wsy Sharukh is expecting. On the note of Don2, yes Indicine team is absolutely correct. It is like a film of Mission Impossible standards. So we can expect a lot from it. Even a record opening and week may help the film to cross the 150 crore mark, which can make it the 3rd highest grosser and the highest for a Farhan Akhtar directed film. It has to be seen whether the music and to be released promos are catchy enough. Well that for Christmas. On the Ra.One topic, there is no doubt that Shahrukh will again win Best Actor either for this one or Don2, Vishal Shekhar for Best Music, the action directors foe Best Action, Kareena for Best Actress, Arjun Rampal for Best Villian and Best Picture also. We all wish that Ra.One is a big success and people like the film.
RA-ONE IS BIG FLOP…I HOPE
