Ra.One grosses Rs 170 cr in first five days, Break all Previous records - The Economic Times
Ra.One, Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan's most ambitious project to date, has earned Rs 170 crore in the opening weekend, distributor said.
Produced by Red Chillies and Eros International, Ra.One (released on October 26), grossed Rs 170 crore in first five days. The movie earned Rs 18 crore in India on opening day.
So far, it has raked in Rs 137.25 crore (net collection of Rs 96 crore) in India, and Rs 32.75 crore overseas.
"The film has created history by taking over the mantle of the biggest domestic earner so far. It has touched the highest individual collection in circuits such as Mumbai, Delhi, Punjab and Rajasthan. We see repeat viewings of the movie with the 3-D version being equally sought-after," Nandu Ahuja of Eros International Media Ltd said.
Even before the release, the makers had sold television broadcasting rights, reportedly, for Rs 40 crore, distribution rights for Rs 77 crore, while music rights were bought by T-Series for Rs 15 crore.
Only after rajni experimented the same formula in Tamil that the businessman SRK attempted this "experiment". The first ever 3D in India was made in Malayalam though and that too 27 years before (in 1984) at a huge budget of 25 crores. So please stop talking big about this film.
Do not compare Ra.One with Spiderman or Superman just compare it with "Krish or Robot", you will find that R.One doesn't have at least a passable Screenplay, which is there in the other 2 movies. You are spending money to watch movie not a vedeo game.
