Yaar, Ra1 had hype like never before, biggest hype in bollywood history at the time and the film was bad.
that definitely hurt Don 2's collections as it released a couple of months later.
Jai Ho wasn't even hyped, I can't remember much promotion, plus it released on a non-holiday.
Ra.One = Hit
Don 2 = Hit
No matter when u release ur film, audience will love it if it is good, how much it shows in verdict.
Best example is Akki's biggest hit is MOHRA, it came in 1994 where he did 11 films. So imagine the kind of akkism in that year when movies were coming every month rapidly?
Same way calling Dabangg 2 underperformer is also not right, That is Salman's back to back 5the Blockbuster in a row, which in any way is not easy task, not even for Aamir Khan who holds highest grosser record or Srk who is consistent for 20+ years.
Dabangg 2 has 84 Cr Distributor share, some films don't even touch that in lifetime, while Srk's flop recently touched that as Lifetime Total.
Back to Back Lagataar BLOCKBUSTER deke bhi agar Underperformer ka tag mil jaaye, then what is actually success?
BOI did said about Dabangg 2 not doing more than Dabangg, it is right in that context, but as a individual film it is one of the biggest smash hit films. Even footfalls is above 2 Cr, which is 3rd highest after PK & Dhoom 3 even now.
Xmas Release Footfalls
1. PK = 3.50 Cr
2. Dhoom 3 = 2.97 Cr
3. Dabangg 2 = 2.05 Cr
4. Bajirao Mastani = 1.88 Cr
5. Dilwale = 1.53 Cr
