Raavan witnessed poor opening at the box office

Saturday, June 19, 2010, 12:00 [IST]
The much-anticipated Raavan did not fetch the desired start on Friday. While certain big city plexes opened to a 50% to 60% to 70% response, the response at smaller centre plexes and also single screens was much lower, in 20% to 25% to 30% range. Even in Mumbai, which contributes heavily from multiplexes, the occupancy was extremely erratic. In the recent past, films like Housefull, Badmaash Company, Kites and Raajneeti had opened to a terrific start and the industry was expecting a similar start for Raavan. But the reports of Raavan - the audience feedback specifically - is extremely mixed, tilting towards negative.

Raavan has had an extensive release in the Hindi version and therefore, the Friday numbers might be better due to this reason, but the fact remains that the opening day business is below expectations. Now let's see how Saturday and Sunday fares!

dont understand y people are hell-bent on manipulating the real happenings of our glorious culture by making films like these... nobody , not even our family, will remember us after 50 years, but ramayan n mahabharat are remembered since more than 5000 yrs... n this shows the greatness of Ram and Krishna (who were historical and not mythological characters)... wat right or ability do we have to question something that happened thousands of years ago and has been accepted by one and all since...

raavan had so much potential to entertain and also be a much bigger hit.sadly its not rockjing at all.muzik and photography stand out-story is not too great,too much violence and police are shown as pure evil.
