Ra.One apes Batman?

The creative heads of a lot of production houses in Bollywood can’t seem to come up with something original. The poster of Shahrukh Khan’s much-vaunted project Ra.One seems a rip-off of the poster of a Batman movie. Check out the similarities for yourself.

Deja vu creeps in again! A lot of Bollywood movies lately have blatantly copied posters from Hollywood films or movies from the world cinema. The most shocking obviously was the poster of Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara copied from Lords of Dogtown.

Now, the newly released poster of Shahrukh Khan’s Ra.One bears a striking similarity to the poster of Christopher Nolan’s 2005 movie Batman Begins. In the poster, actor Christian Bale is seen holding an unconscious Katie Holmes in his arms. In Ra.One poster, Shahrukh Khan seen holding Kareena Kapoor in a similar pose.

Even the apocalyptic background and the light effects are similar.

Mere Brother Ki Dulhan nets Rs 255 mn in opening weekend

MUMBAI: Mere Brother Ki Dulhan did fairly well in its first weekend to collect Rs 255 million. However, the inevitable drop in collections has been noticed today.

Bodyguard has been squeezed dry with an extensive release and multiple screenings (as many as 2400 shows between 31 August and 9 September in a town like Ghaziabad) during its first nine days. Released mid-week on Eid (Wednesday, 31 August) it collected Rs 1.15 billion in nine days.

The collections over the second weekend have tapered down to approximately Rs 160 million and come to a trickle as of today (Monday), with some cinemas reporting poor audience due to lack of repeat value.

Bol made no impact beyond critical appreciation, collecting just Rs 13.5 million in its first week.

The Girl In Yellow Boots stays on the lower side with Rs 14 million in its first week.

Aarakshan tally at the end of four weeks is Rs 379 million.
