Shahrukh Khan's Ra.One to beat Salman Khan's Ready in third weekend?

Ra.One's collections at the box office dropped from Rs 90 crore to Rs 18 crore in the second week. Though Ra.One might not be able to beat Aamir Khan's 3 Idiots or Salman Khan's Dabangg and Bodyguard, it might be able to outbeat Salman Khan's Ready collections in the local market in the third week, today being a bank holiday.

Considering the fact that Ra.One is one of the most expensive films to be made in the Indian film industry, stakes are very high. Though Eros and Shahrukh Khan claim that the investment they made for Ra.One amounts to not more than Rs 135 crore, trade sources claim that the investment has been a whooping Rs 162 crore.

Listed below are approximate net collections of some of the highest box office grossers in Bollywood.

3 Idiots - Rs 102 crore
Dabangg - Rs 74 crore
Bodyguard ? Rs 72 crore
Ready - Rs 64 crore
Ghajini - Rs 58 crore
Golmaal - Rs 3-56 crore
Singham - Rs 50 crore

Ra.One is likely to cross Ready's Box office collection of Rs 64 crore this weekend. However, since Ranbir Kapoor's much anticipated film Rockstar will release today, SRK's Ra.One might face severe competition!

Meanwhile, the famous Shahrukh-Salman battle over box office supremacy continues...
