Irrespective of what detractors, trade pundits, colleagues and fans have to say, actor Shah Rukh Khan has pulled it off yet again. The most anticipated and biggest film of 2011, his superhero flick, Ra.One has managed to sustain pretty well. According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh’s tweet: ‘Midweek: RaOne has Rs92 cr nett opng wkend’ and undeniably, ‘5-day weekend figures are a new record’. And it couldn’t have been a better gift for King Khan, who celebrates his birthday today.
SRK’s magnum opus, in a way had hijacked the audience’s imagination, what with the way it was being publicised. In fact, Ra.One was also trending the most on Twitter, apart from its website receiving phenomenal clicks over the last few days. With the release date of October 26, SRK and director Anubhav Sinha not only cashed in on the long five-day Diwali weekend, but also the fact that this week had no major release to pose as any serious threat. Automatically, the film got a clear headway of two weeks by the time the next big film releases on November 11 — Imtiaz Ali’s Ranbir Kapoor-starrer, Rockstar.
In a way, the stars too are in favour of SRK. Noted numerologist Sanjay B Jumaani informs that SRK (dob: 2/11/1965) is ruled by the dreamy Moon (No 2). “By default, Shah Rukh Khan adds to a dream number, 42, which means 6 — denoting Venus, the planet of love, luxury and entertainment. For those who feel SRK is dealing with a ‘mid-life crisis’, there is bad news,” he states.
Sanjay goes on to say, “Shah Rukh’s exciting phase is because he is No 2 and is set to enter his 47th year, which adds up to 2 as well. For instance, Ratan Tata, a No 1, (dob: 28/12/1936) made headlines with his Nano in his 73rd year, which adds up to 1.
Then again, No 9, Salman Khan (dob: 27/12/1965) had to his credit Dabangg and Bigg Boss in his 45th year, adding up to 9,” he says.
So, at the moment, with speculations being made about whether King Khan continues with his stronghold over the audience, the answer seems to be in the affirmative. And if the stars are to have their way, then the best is yet to come.
