Shah Rukh Khan’s most ambitious sci-fi thriller hit the screens on Diwali and while some critics gave it a thumbs up for blending elegance of Hollywood with Indian sensibilities, others panned the superhero drama by labelling it just as a video game. The reviews notwithstanding, it has managed to collect Rs.18 crore at the home box office on the opening day.
Ra.One had 70% to 100% Occupancy levels all over India. The lesser-than-expected occupancy level was mainly due to the effect of Diwali festivities, which took a toll on the evening shows.
