Raajneeti has shocked and stunned the industry by recording earth shattering collections over its first weekend. The weekend collections are in the 34 crore nett region as per early estimates.

The early estimates of the daily breakdowns are 10.25 crore nett for Friday, 11 crore for Saturday and humungous 12.75 crore nett for Sunday. The only film that can be compared to it is Three Idiots which did 38 crore nett over a similar period but it was Christmas weekend which is regarded as the best weekend of the year for a release. At places the occupancies for Raajneeti have actually been higher than Three Idiots over the first weekend. The film has is one of those rare films which is doing outstanding business all over India.

Raajneeti is certain to be the first Super Hit of 2010 and is easily the biggest hit of 2010 and the next few days will determine how big the film actually turns out.

im glad the movie is doing well, however doubt if it has repeat value.

I watched the movie on Saturday and all I can say is AWESOME!!! It's been a while since I have seen a good bollywood movie and I am glad it was Rajneeti because I had very little expectations from it.

Saw it on Saturday and must say I loved it!
