Apart from taran adarsh and the two samosa walas Sumit & Rohit , everyone has called it too much of an 80's movie.

I saw it today. I think the first half was very regressive. Basically like the trailer, Akshay takes the girls to a marriage counselor who says one girl is too dark, one is too fat and the other is too girly. Humor like that - kind of regressive, people were laughing in the theatre though. Some funny moments. Akshay saves up for dowry..etc.

Then something happens because of dowry. Then Akshay feels bad and changes. The 2nd half was good showing progression but they didn't write Akshay's character properly, it feels like he did a 180 suddenly in the movie. The sisters were very good and all 3 of them acted well though which made up for the fault in Akshay's character.

Nevertheless the movie was fine, not as good as Toilet or Padman but it had a good conclusion and some funny moments. Bhumi had little to do.

I want to watch this but hubby wants to watch LSC😆

I would watch this (a lighter movie), and then watch LSC when it comes to OTT much later.

RB budget is over 70 crores (Is it high or low or mid?) and LSC budget is 180 crores according to google

Most of RB budget probably went to Akshay fees so I am assuming everything else was much cheaper. Whereas LSC had to pay for Aamir, Kareena and Naga + the CGI to make Aamir look younger + the battle scenes..etc.

LSC also spent money on promotions whereas Rakshabandan did very little promo.

AK should do drastic pay cut then considering how his last three ventures have performed

He did take a drastic pay cut on this one...because his sister was producing this movie along with Anand Rai. If they gave him his full pay, budget would have almost doubled. Akshay asks for too much.

Raksha Bandhan First Day Business

Saturday 12 August 2022 12.00 IST Box Office India Trade Network

Raksha Bandhan collected 8 crore nett on its first day which is a disappointing number considering the holiday of Raksha Bandhan which although is not a major holiday it should have pushed the film higher especially as its an apt time for release of this film.

The other release Laal Singh Chaddha saw its best business in Delhi NCR and East Punjab while this film was best in Gujarat / Saurashtra, CI and Rajasthan. These places are normally better for Akshay Kumar film and the holiday also pushed in these circuits. The opening day of this film in Gujarat is comparable to any other original Hindi film outside Sooryavanshi but again the holiday is big in Gujarat.

Raksha Bandhan may have got more benefit of the holiday as its stronger in the Hindi belts which could mean it drops more on day two as against Laal Singh Chaddha. The film holds little appeal for the youth and is mainly for family audiences which means a word of mouth film. But the problem today is that the film which needs to pick is finding it tough to work and here its tough to pick up after a holiday anyway.

It remains to be seen where the film goes on Sunday where it can score in the Hindi belts again if public reports allow but even to be in the race for Sunday.

Taran Chachu and samosa critics's good reviews could not help the film. 😆
