!*~*R...RAJKUMAR: BO & Reviews #2 : 61 - 73 Cr Semi-Hit - HIT *~*! - Page 7

Since 1980s to present, the masala entertainers are a fun filled ride and not an IQ assessment. It was with Wanted that Prabhu Dheva activated masalathons and soon after Bollywood saw a flood of such films especially this year...Almost every leading actor tried to color their hands such as SRK in Chennai Express, Ranbir Kapoor in Besharam, Ajay Devgn inHimmatwala, Akshay Kumar in Boss, Sanjay Dutt in Zila Ghaziabad & Policegiri, Sunny Deol in Singh Saab The Great, Saif Ali Khan in Bullett Raja, Shahid Kapoor in Phata Poster Nikla Hero and recently in R...Rajkumar...

And strangely this recent release is being termed as the worst film of 2013. Really! Well there were many films both of this genre and other that can bag the title of the worst film'. Not going very far in time, just compare the release previous to R...Rajkumar, Bullett Raja stands levels down when compared to R...Rajkumar both by public choice and box office collections (if that is the criteria to rate a film).

It's the critics that have rated Bullett Raja between 3-4 stars and no popular critic is seen praising R...Rajkumar...

What is it actually? What is the formula to receive good reviews? Is it big banners/star power? Or is the matter monetary?

Whatever it is, the audience out there knows the reality and hardly go by what critics and reviews says...That is the reason the movie is liked by us and everyone out there.

And next time while reading a review, all you guys make sure that masalthons are mindless as in they are for entertainment and require no justification of the acts involved to entertain. Mindless doesn't imply that the movie is bad.

Prabhu Dheva's Shahid Kapoor and Sonakshi Sinha starrer R... Rajkumar had a good Tuesday as the film collected around 4.40-4.50 cr on its fifth day at the box office. The film showed a drop of around 10-15% % from yesterday, monday which is considered as normal drop.

The lifetime box office collections of the film after 5 days has reached around 38.50 cr. The film continues to perform very well in single screen cinemas and mass dominated areas whereas in the multiplexes film is showing normal day to drops which is a good sign for the film as multiplexes tend to show bigger drops in weekdays as compared to single screen cinemas.

The film has performed well at the box office and is the second highest grosser of Shahid Kapoor crossing Vivah in just five days. As the film is having steady collections in the weekdays it has all the chances of emerging a clean hit at the box office as it will go into its second week strongly and with an open week the film can put up good numbers which will help the film emerging a hit as it is an expensive film with an investment of around 55 cr ( 43 cr cost of production + 12 Print and Advertising ) so it will have to perform well in in its second week to reach the safety mark.
