The
dubbed
version
of
Shahrukh
Khan's
biggest-ever
film,
Ra.One
got
a
decent
opening
at
the
Tamil
Box
Office.
The
collections
of
the
multilingual
film
was
slowed
down
due
to
other
Kollywood
releases
like
Vijay
starrer
Velayudham
and
Surya's
7aam
Arivu.
The
South
Indian
versions
comprising
Tamil
and
Telugu
were
released
on
October
26
with
250
prints.
On
its
opening
day,
Ra.One
approximately
collected
Rs
2
to
2.5
crore
and
fetched
four
crore
in
next
2
days
totalling
its
net
to
Rs
6
crore
in
South
India.
The
movie
was
largely
affected
by
Velayudham
and
7aam
Arivu,
as
they
occupied
400
screens
in
Tamil
Nadu.
Trade
analysts
claim
that
the
collections
of
the
dubbed
versions
of
Ra.One
seem
to
be
good,
as
it
faced
tough
competitions
from
Vijay
and
Surya
starrer
films.
They
further
added
that
Rajinikanth's
cameo
in
the
movie
has
become
a
major
attraction
for
the
South
audience
to
watch
the
film.
However,
Vijay's
Velayudham
is
said
to
be
topping
the
Tamil
Box
Office
chart
even
after
getting
released
in
less
number
of
theatres
comparatively
with
7aam
Arivu.
