am amazed that this movie hasn't been chucked out of boxoffice yet, biggest flop from its inception. why don't Indian directors or the possible special graphics artists learn something from west or Japanese? how long will not try your luck with your B grade movies? the Indian audience is more knowledgeable than you film makers out there in Mumbai, you are no more than a bunch of puppets with the same storyline. for god sake have some creativity.
Peoples dont care about story, dialogues,acting, editing, screenplay etc, They only care about shah rukh khan lol and movie is super hit lol

Box office
Ra.One saw a record 70-100% occupancy levels all over India, with full houses in many multiplexes. The lesser-than-expected occupancy level was mainly due to the effect of Diwali festivities, which took a toll on the evening shows. The morning opening was described "historic" by several trade analysts.[135][136] Generally, the 3D version of the film saw better occupancy levels than the 2D version.[137] Families and children comprised the major demographics of Ra.One's audience.
On the first day, Ra.One collected 14.63 crore (US$3.26 million) from the Hindi version[138] and an estimated 2 crore (US$446,000) from the Tamil and Telugu versions,[139] taking its all-India total to 16.63 crore (US$3.71 million). It set records for the biggest Diwali opening day ever by beating Golmaal 3 (8.72 crore),[140] The lesser total was attributed to a fall in evening collections, caused due to festive celebrations and pujas. However, on the second day, Ra.One set records throughout the nation by collecting 22.8 crore (US$5.08 million) in the Hindi version and hence surpassing the biggest single-day record in India held by Bodyguard.[141]
The third day collection of the film Hindi version netted at 15.50 crore (US$3.46 million), and has again set a record three day collection of 53 crore (US$11.82 million) nett, by surpassing previous record by Bodyguard (52.60 crores). The Tamil and Telugu versions of the film also collected around 4 crore (US$892,000) nett over three days, giving it a total of 57 crore (US$12.71 million) nett for all three languages.[142] The film's Hindi version collected 14.25 crore (US$3.18 million) nett on it's fourth day, with four days collection totaling around 67 crore (US$14.94 million) nett
