Robot with the invincible superstar of the South- Rajnikant remained invincible at the box office as well, toppling Dabangg’s record nearly 4 times over. While Chulbul Pandey of Dabangg had wowed the hearts of Indians and grossed maximum profit crossing 3 Idiots record, Robot has made Rs 117 crore in the first week itself, ahead by 4 times as much!
The reason behind the mega success of the movie Robot could be that it released with a bang in both the north & the south of India.
Endhiran the actual movie with superstars Rajnikant & Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has had a massive profit down South. It’s made Rs 60 crore in the state of Tamil Nadu, Rs8 & 4 crore respectively in Kerala & Karnataka. Andhra Pradesh saw Endhiran making Rs30 crore profit. It’s dubbed Hindi version Robot too collected Rs15 crore.
8ShareHaving opened in nearly 2200 screens as compared to 1400 screens in Dabangg, it’s obvious that the movie Robot should make more profit, setting a new record in 2010. Not only in India, Robot’s success is being repeated world wide, with $1.56 million profit being made in Australia and $467,000 in UK. This weekend Malaysia and Singapore theatres played the movie which made $800,000.
Although a dubbed movie, Robot doesn’t let that affect it’s box office record. The audience don’t mind the dubbed Hindi & seem to love the sc-fiction about the lovable Robot played by the megastar & demi-god Rajnikant.
Aishwarya Rai too has made a good comeback after her forgettable Raavan. But fact remains that her role in the movie doesn’t involve anything more than just looking good. Even the music by A.R. Rehmaan seems to have disappointed many.
Then what makes Robot click with the audience? The clichéd storyline of course doesn’t hold the answer. Perhaps its just the fact that Rajnikant is starring in this movie & the special effects supposedly generated by the makers of Avatar.
Whatever be the case, Robot has taken its hold over the box-office for now. If you haven’t watched the movie yet, what are you waiting for?
