Eros Clears Air Over Factually Incorrect Ra.One Box-Office Report

Ra.One Movie Poster

The Times Of India this morning ran a story on its front page, claiming that the first day’s collection of Ra.One was Rs. 22 crore. The report is silent about whether the figure is net or gross and whether it is all-India or all-world. The same report goes on to compare this figure with the first day net all-India collection of Bodyguard (Rs. 21.5 crore). Therefore, by implication, the figure of Rs. 22 crore is the net all-India collection of Ra.One. Well, Eros International has clarified that the report (which has quoted a so-called trade analyst as saying that “the Hindi version will collect more than Rs. 20 crore, and if one adds the collections of the Tamil and Telugu versions, it will go up to Rs. 22 crore) was incorrect. The correct first-day figure for the Hindi version is Rs. 15.5 to Rs. 16 crore. If we were to add the collections of the dubbed Tamil and dubbed Telugu versions to this figure, the total would come to Rs. 18 crore.

The misleading report was titled, ‘Ra.One snatches Day One honours’. By Eros’ own admission, the day one honour has not been snatched as the first-day record is still held by Bodyguard. Maybe, the newspaper will now carry a story in tomorrow’s edition and title it, ‘Day One Honour Snatched Back From Ra.One

    D fact z sallu z popular 4 his body nd his humblness, he z a good man i agree …
    nd bout SRK guys, Sallu sirf film k role me apna dum aur guts display karta hai nd dat 2 only in recent films… nd SRK sirf film me hi nahi apne real lyf me b Hero hai. He has d guts 2 dare n take risks in real lyf as far as making films z concerned, unlyk Sallu…

    Sallu fans say dey go 2 c bhai in d film , but guys Bollywood filmo se banta hai… film me talent dikhana chahiye sirf body dikhane se nahi chalega…
    I personnally apreciate Salman n Lyk him 4 wat he zz…. But wen it comes 2 films Sallu z far behind SRK.

    Its tru dat SRK z a bit arrognt..But dat z Y he z SRK …now bcoz he z arogant dat does not mean he z a bad man…i lyk SRK 4 wat he z.
    Each hav der own talent 2 b appreciated ,
    Its out of questn,
    Its out of questn dat Sallu can ever b as good an actor as SRK nd its out of questn dat SRK can ever build a body lyk Sallu ..
    SRK can never b bhai hearted lyk Sallu n Sallu can never b king hearted lyk SRK.
    Both hav der own qualities 2 b appreciated nd both r gud..
    Bich me ye Sallu k fans itna kichad kyu bak rahe hai..??Sallu fans r sooooooooooooooo… UNJUST..!!
    Sallu himself will nt apreciate dis.. It z so bad 2 c u keep comntn all bad bout SRK. Com on u just cant rubbish away sum1ns hard work n creativity JUST 2 KEEP UR FAV HERO IN NO1 POSITIN. .
    If u judge a film as d best 1 just bcoz it has Sallu in it, den U will look lyk a FOOL 2 d WORLD…
    Make judgements dat make sum sense..otherwise INDIA will look lyk a FOOL…

    So guys b fair wen u r talkn bout films
    Sallu does not hav a goodwill 4 his films, its sumthng else dat he z gr8 4 n dat z his nature..
    SRK has a goodwill 4 his films…so wen d talk z bout films it z SRK….
    SRK z gud N SALLU z gud , ye to Sallu k fans hai jo bure hai..jaha b dekho burai karte rehte hai…
    I really appreciate SRK fans 4 bein so clean n just, Sallu fans please stop provokin d SRK fans..

    Sharukh ke saare fans i think tum c haun…. Reason yeh hain ke Bodyguard only 1 language or 3000 Screens par release hui thi or Ra-one 3 languages or 4500 screens mein……Phir bhi first day kuch ukhad nahi paayi Bodyguard ka ….. Or dusre din thoda aage nikalne par aise jashan bana rahe haun jaise tumhare baap ki shadi hain….Abhi Sunday nikal jaane do phir dekhna iska haal…… Box office collection or fans following mein Salman Bhai say aage koi nahi hain………..
