| Hey. Regarding ''Ra.One'' hit or flop status, see . Most distributors have recovered money with the exception of 2 territories - Central Punjab, Central India. In addition, Eros has earned 20 crore from the film. In view of this, I doubt we can call ''Ra.One'' as just average.

| ==Re:Official Page== | |||
| I actually saw the ref just now. Yes it is completely unreliable and must not be used, however, as per SRK's latest press release he stated the budget as 135 crore. Being the actual ''producer'', he should know best. Eros is just the distributor, and so its their job to inflate figures to attract the eyeballs (a very common but useless tactic). The conversation he had with a journo was simply meant to add promotional fire. I am sure you know of how Bollywood tries to promote films :D. The ref will have to be replaced. Regarding the loss of money, BOI has ''very specifically'' stated that 2 circuits lost money - Central Punjab (CP) and Central India (CI). These circuits are ''doiminated'' by single screens, hence yes it has lost money in these single screens but not anywhere else. Komal Nahta and Taran Adarsh had ''estimated'' losses, but it wasn't confirmed for all centres was it?Personally, while I do know your personal liking for Komal and Taran but I don't trust them simply because they are easily bought, especially by the three Khans. They are fairly accurate about the others though. ''']'''<sup>'']''</sup><sub>'''LifEnjoy'''</sub> 14:18, 17 November 2011 (UTC) | |||
| :And one more thing, the loss of T-Series money has absolutely nothing to do with ''Ra.One''. It is a case of overpayment by music companies, and investments so huge that returns aren't possible. I have seen the said article, and it clearly states the names of Desi Boyz and The Dirty Picture as well. Losses to a music producer depends on the music, and not necessarily the film. Even in Ci, where ''Ra.One'' lost money, ''Chammak Challo'' is still enormously popular. Thanks, ''']'''<sup>'']''</sup><sub>'''LifEnjoy'''</sub> 14:25, 17 November 2011 (UTC) | |||
| :Comparisions between ''Damadamm'' and ''Ra.One'' are absolute bullcrap. Compare the budgets. Damadamm is a speck of dust in front of Ra.One, so obviously it's gonna get return very easily. egarding the distribution rights, what I have said time and again also hold here - CP, CI lost money precisely because of over-spending. That point will be included anyways, but only after GA review or else the instability tag will appear. And I still don't think the point about T-Series is relevant because as I said, the fate of T-Series is due to ''multiple'' films under it's banner, and not ''Ra.One'' alone. This fact should ideally come up in the T-Series article, not in the Ra.One article. And as I said, Taran and Komal can be easily paid to do either Khan's dirty work (I am not sparing SRK in this regard either, but stressing that all the Khans do so). Ra.One is a big grosser no doubt, but it ''underperformed''. And there is a significant difference between ''hit'' and underperformance. The underperformance is simply due to unrealistic expectations, and really, if public reactions are anything to go by I doubt we could call ''Bodyguard'' a BB with an 81% fall in Week 2. BOI is reliable enough. And the fact that you mentioned IBOS is an insult and a joke, because IBOS has no relevancy either in terms of BO figures nor in terms of verdicts. They under-reported ''3 Idiots'' net figures by 13 crore (189 crore according to IBOS, 202 crore according to BOI). I guess that says it all. The phrase "flaming flop" is really the Phrase of the Century", in my personal opinion. Cheers! ''']'''<sup>'']''</sup><sub>'''LifEnjoy'''</sub> 16:18, 17 November 2011 (UTC) | |||
| ::No no no, the Khans are far from going out of Bollywood now. In fact, I think they have barely begun. And no, it's not a religion thing at all. We Indian are not as communally narrow-minded as, say, Pakistan. Hence, the Khans still are darlings. However, there was a ge=reat deal of planned negativity surrounding Ra.One, and this is true whether you believe it or not. And btw, hello, 227 crore is gross. ALL of that doesn't go to the producers. Depending upon theteritories, I would guess 50% of this figure would go to them but it's an estimate as foreign markets generally show lesser ROI. Hence actual ROI is near 100%, and not 275%. And nobody was expecting Ra.One to get the same ROI as BG, or even close. In fact, it would have been great if the film had recovered costs alone, which it has for the producers. Only small losses are present for a few distributors (you can quote Taran/Komal however many times you wish, but that's the truth). Regarding budget, the over-exaggeration is a classic case of trying to fool the public. It doesn't work and yet they use it, and it beats me why they do so. Yes, considering the effort behind this movie it underperformed, which I have repeatedly stated previously. Note that 113 crore in India has translated to around 65 crore Distributor share, which actually translates to more than that of superhit ''Ready'' (another crap Salman film). And yes, if you think SRK is so dumb to completely depend upon theatrical revenue to recover costs, then you are ill-informed. After all, SRK is ''the'' businessman of Bollywood. Rest assured, its a profit maker for the makers and Eros, and at best an under-performing hit for distributors. And IBOS is plain dumb, stupid, and a Bachchan a**-licker. There's nothing better to say than that. ''']'''<sup>'']''</sup><sub>'''LifEnjoy'''</sub> 17:32, 17 November 2011 (UTC) | |||
| :::I doubt you can call something like '']'' smart, different cinema. Besides, SRK is moving away from his typical romantic avatar this year. See Don 2, does it look like anything SRK has done before (save Don, of course :D)? Ra.One was different too. Hence experimentation is there even within SRK. Only Salman is comfortable with useless south remakes with no plot, script or direction. And big BBs to boost. Its frustrating to see this imbalance in Bollywood. Nowhere else will crap like BG or Ready last beyond 3 days, and here it lasts for weeks and even becomes a BB. Irony of all ironies, I guess.

| ::::Your comments show that you are an srk-hater. Well no problem. People who feel Aamir does cinema for the love of it, and always does good films, are living just because they are dreaming. It doesn't matter what naysayers say in the end, I doubt ''Dhoom 3'' will be better than ''Dhoom 2'' and ''Don 2''. Aamir is nowhere close to Hrithik for the required role. Well of course, Aamir lovers will defiantly defend their idol so it really doesn't matter. And ''Don 2'' will kick ass, and beat the shit out of all those who think that SRK is a goner (which presumably includes you as well). Regarding limited expressions, your views are very very misplaced and based on very few films of SRK that you have watched. Se, that's the problem with haters They don't want to see the entire filmography of SRK, just one or two slips and then declare him as the worst actor in the world. Pitiful. Your opinion about SRK makes we very wary of what you will say next. Perhaps you will now try to justify Aamir's shoddy personal life or his repeated attempts at pulling ''Ra.One'' down? Or will you continue to live in denial and say that Aamir is too angelic to do such things? Snap out of dreams Scieberking. The whole world knows the truth, and it would do you good to find out as well. And yeah, call me an srk-lover but that doesn't change things. I have previously stated that Aamir acts well. SRK fans are less biased that Aamir or Lallu fans, but obviously you will attempt at proving otherwise. Don 2 will put the writing on the wall, and then we will see all the haters cringing with fear as we fans rejoice in the ultimate reign of the King.

| :::::Equating ''Don 2'' with ''Ready'' is enough to show exactly who your allegiance lies with. Please do not give the excuse of generally disliking Bollywood to cover up your obvious dislike for SRK. I am no kiddo when it comes to films. I have seen sufficient number of very good films including favorites '']'' and '']'' in Hollywood, and '']'' and '']'' in Bollywood, to differentiate good cinema from average and utter crap. I never called ''Ra.One'' a classic (far from that, I praised it simply because it had great VFX and good performances esp. from Kapoor and Rampal), but of course you had to assume that just to drive home your point. Call ''Don 2'' whatever you like. I am sure you love the James Bond series don't you? But you won't like Don 2 simply because it has SRK in it. If you call ''3 Idiots'' as great cinema, then I think you are the kiddo when it comes to good films. Anyways, why am I actually discussing this with you? It barely matters, does it? Praising a single film which is so good it can't be criticized, and panning everything else even if some of them are very good, doesn't sound witty or intelligent to me. You are right regarding Hrithik, and I stand by my prediction that Aamir won't come anywhere close to Hrithik in ''Dhoom 2''. And you are willing to call Don 2 "campy, tastelessly commercial cinema" while at the same breath calling ''Dhoom 3'' as a great film. Nice joke.

| :::::::Oh, so now you say you dislike mainstream Bollywood, and are still gung-ho about ''Dhoom 3''. Wow. That really is some self-contradiction. And don't even try to tell me that you aren't gung-ho about it, because I've had enough of all that. ''3 Idiots'' may be nice and refreshing from an entertainment point of view, but its so-called "social message" is old and much cliched by now Let's accept it, even though you love Aamir very much, 3 I is nowhere near as great a piece of cinema as ''Chak De!'', and yet people insist on such useless comparisons. You can keep your rather silly views about Dhoom 3 to yourself, but rest assured, Don 2 will exceed Dhoom 3 in all respects and completely wipe out those naysayers who have been spending years of efforts to bring SRK down. And yes, there is no hamr in saying that you are an Aamir fan. I have no problem with that at all. I only have a problem when people try to act over-smart and judge things well before start. Dhoom 3 hasn't even released a trailer, and yet you air some realy fantastic things about it. ''']'''<sup>'']''</sup><sub>'''LifEnjoy'''</sub> 16:44, 18 November 2011 (UTC) | |||
