Bullet Raja seem to be losing its hold at domestic as well as the worldwide box office market.

Tigmanshu Dhulia's film Bullet Raja starring Saif Ali Khan and Sonakshi Sinha seem to be losing its hold at domestic as well as the worldwide box office market. The film has collected a little more than Rs. 27.5 Crore at the domestic box office. Bullet Raja managed to fetch only Rs. 31.3495 at the worlwide box office including India.

Considering the amount of money spent on promotions and filming, Bullet Raja was expected to reap profits in leaps and bounds. However, nothing of that sort happened. The Saif-Sonakshi starrer film, that released on November 29th got a very average response from the audience with its occupancy ranging between 30% and 40% in the first show on Friday. There was not much improvement in the later part of the day either.

ullet Raja collected a total of approximately Rs. 27 crore at the Indian Box Office since day 1. Its breakup is Rs 7.5 cr on Fri, Rs 7 cr on Sat, Rs 8.8 cr on Sun and Rs. 3.75 on Monday.

Bullet Raja managed to fetch an average collection of Rs. 31.3495 including the Indian market. It's breakup is Rs. 1.09 from United States of America/Canada, Rs. 2.07 from UAE/G.C.C, Rs. 0.8378 from United Kingdom/Ireland, Rs. 0.1978 from Australia and Rs. 0.1039 from New Zealand. These records are as of December 1st 2013.

Now, with R. Rajkumar set to release on December 6th and an even bigger film Dhoom 3 set to release on December 20th, the chances of Bullet Raja reviving itself at the box office is very dim.

The intelligent filmmaker blends high-octane drama and power-packed action beautifully with a concrete plot, taut editing and excellent writing to produce an engaging watch!

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

** Average

*** Good

**** Very good

***** Excellent

Do Rs 100 crore movies have to be brain-dead mass pullers? Do stories have to be crafted keeping in mind ‘what’s in’ with an air of arrogance that tends to take cinegoers’ wisdom for granted? And most importantly, is it mandatory for movie buffs to leave their brains at home when they walk into a movie theater and then invariably get served mindless masala flicks in the name of entertainment?

In this day and age when entering the glamorous club of Rs 100 crore seems to be the only motive of our directors, Tigmanshu Dhulia’s Bullett Raja should ideally be served as a template especially to those who believe that the business of entertainment is trend-driven as opposed to logic-driven. In his attempt to engage the audience, Dhulia comes up with an electrifying entertainer that demands you to use your brains!

For those who have been cringing at the alarming flourish of Dabangg kinda productions, where the protagonist is larger-than-life; someone who keeps the audiences glued to the seats with his relentless high flying starry kicks and power-packed punches, Dhulia’s Bullett Raja comes across as a breath of fresh air. It certainly is a time for our high profile film directors to watch Dhulia’s latest endeavour to get a clear idea about how a fine cinematic experience can be creatively crafted. In this one, even if our hero wanders around with the machismo of a desi cowboy while totting guns, his antics never defy your ability to think. The director certainly has a grip on the narrative and he knows how to draw the proverbial laxman rekha between fiction and facts without going overboard.

Moving over the Rowdies and the Tigers and the Singhams –who should, by now, die a shameful death-thanks to the arrival of the new age Raja..err Bullett Raja who keeps you entertained without taking your IQ for granted. This tale is rustic, raw and unapologetic with lots of believable twists and turns that leave you wondering what will happen next. Dhulia keeps both the intensity and intrigue element of his earlier movies like Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster and Paan Singh Tomar intact as he portrays his story set in the backdrop of Uttar Pradesh’s goondaraj.

Following the trajectory of hot headed Raja Mishra aka Saif Ali Khan Bullett Raja’s story should not be unraveled in words, for the attempt may dilute the essence of the action thriller. Instead we give you a list of pluses (and a few misses) that makes this flick an entertaining watch.

Amidst the showers of bullets being sprayed in almost every second frame (to exaggerate) this movie follows a definite path to unveil the story in a gripping manner.

Fiery and impactful dialogues will make you giggle and think at the same time. For instance when Saif Ali Khan is suggested to think twice before seeking revenge against his opponents our hero goes- Bhai mara hai hamara, badla lena parampara hai. Koi corporate culture nahin hai ki agli deal mein profit ya loss adjust kar lenge. The lines are really quirky and stay true to the situations and believable for the characters who mouth them, throughout the film.

Possibly the best role Saif has played ever after Langda Tyagi in Vishal Bhardwaj’s Omkara. Saif’s Raja Mishra aka Bullett Raja is rooted and raw.

Jimmy Shergill has once again made us ask the pertinent question-why has the good looking Punjabi lad has remained underrated in our movies despite his commendable acting skills? Shergill is never off key in any of his scenes.

Sonakshi Sinha has played her part well. Raj Babbar is fine with his portrayal of an influential politician, while Vidyut Jamwal looks impressive with his solid screen presence and his impossible to match action moves if not exactly with his acting chops.

How did Vidyut Jamwal save a stuntman on the sets of Bullett Raja? Watch video!

The talented actor who loves action showed his daredevil side on the sets of Tigmanshu Dhulia’s next film

Vidyut Jamwal shot to fame with his films Force and Commando – both out-an-out action flicks. The young lad effortlessly did stunts and high octane action sequences in both the films and won accolades for it as well. But what’s interesting is that Vidyut is good with action not only in reel but in real life too. We say coz while shooting for Bullett Raja, the actor didn’t think twice before jumping to save a stuntman. Here’s how it all happened: Vidyut was shooting an action scene along with the stuntman and that is when the latter lost his balance and slipped. The Force actor jumped and saved the stuntman.

We hear the cast and crew were shocked and happy at the same time as Vidyut had no harness support and but reacted quickly and showed his heroic side.

While we are maha impressed with Mr Jamwal, you check out the video and see how it actually happened.

Will Saif Ali Khan’s Bullett Raja join in the Rs 100 crore club?

Tigmanshu Dhulia recently said in an interview that Bullett Raja is his most commercial film till date. While the film has a stellar star cast and Dhulia is known for making meaningful movies, will his latest offering impress the audience and rake in the moolah?
Bullett Raja starring Saif Ali Khan, Sonakshi Sinha and Jimmy Shergill is all set to hit the theatres. What’s interesting is that with this film both director Tigmanshu Dhulia and actor Saif are venturing into a genre that isn’t their forte. While Kareena Kapoor Khan’s hubby is known for pulling off romantic comedies with panache, Tigmanshu believes in realistic cinema. So will they be successful in establishing themselves in the massy entertainer space with this one? Will Bollywood’s fourth Khan enter the coveted Rs 100 crore club which these days is considered a must-do for a film to be declared a hit?

Exhibitor-distributor Akshaye Rathi says, “Bullett Raja looks like an out and out entertainer. It’s one of those films that appeals to the masses and at the same time cannot be branded as a ‘mindless entertainer’. Going by his record so far, Dhulia has made films that have been intelligent and entertaining at the same time. With good music, superb dialoguebaazi and an interesting star cast, the film stands a good chance to score well at the box office!”

Though Bullett Raja may make a lasting impression, the Saif starrer may not cross the century mark in the numbers game. “It may or may not be able to breach into Rs 100 crore club because of the November clutter at the BO, but it should surely draw good box office numbers and acclaim,” points out Rathi.

When we recently caught up the Nawab he agreed that Bullett Raja is unlikely to gross Rs 100 crore, considering Dhulia’s films are more niche. Whether Saif’s prediction comes true is to be seen, but we are glad that the talented actor is moving away from romcoms and is more open to do some experimentation.

Saif : Raja Mishra is based on many real-life characters in Bullett Raja

Saif Ali Khan says it like it is. Sometimes, at the risk of sounding politically incorrect. When he visited the TOI office on Thursday, he spoke candidly on actresses he looks good with on screen, his upcoming film 'Bullett Raja', why a pairing with wife Kareena hasn't worked and more. Excerpts...

Is Bullett Raja based on a real-life character?

My character Raja Mishra is based on many real-life characters. Bullett Raja is not a biopic of this one Robin Hood-type guy. Fact is stranger than fiction in UP (where the film is based). Every second person is a Raja Mishra there.

Have you worked on your body for this film?

Kareena told me that in Bollywood it's most important to look good. Your acting ability can be secondary. It is a visual medium and certain heroic roles we get offered require you to look like you are capable of doing these massively dramatic things.

You look polished, while Sonakshi Sinha has a desi look in the film. Do you think that contrast works?

I guess contrast always works. I remember Aditya Chopra saying about Rani Mukerji and me, that is what works on screen. In this film, it is not about our chemistry. It is a film about friends, about two guys... it is a revenge story.

What do you think about Sonakshi as an actress?

It's roles like Lootera that distinguish actors and Sonakshi has surely proven herself with that. I get the feeling that I went to school with her or something, that I have known her forever; maybe because she is Shatruji's daughter. Sonakshi is very good at what she does. I'd like to see her to do something now that surprises people.

Have your looks ever been a hindrance in terms of the roles you get? 

Nobody has ever asked me this! I've always wanted to be among the good looking people... doors open for them in a different way. But I never was. I have grown into some kind of an acceptable and attractive personality on screen. It has happened very recently, which is lucky because people who are good looking at 16, sometimes pack up... if not at 30, then certainly at 40.

Saif Ali Khan : I always wanted to play Character like gangster

Saif Ali Khan who plays gangster Raja Mishra in the forthcoming film ‘Bullett Raja’, says he always wanted to play such a character.

"After many years, I got this chance to play a character which is very different from me. I always wanted to play a gangster," the 43-year-old said here Wednesday at a promotional event of the film.

Saif says the Tigmanshu Dhulia-directorial, premised on a fictional mafia based in Uttar Pradesh, is neither vulgar nor violent. But it is fully entertaining.

"Tishuji (Tigmanshu) has tried to make each scene an item. There is action in the film but not violence, there is comedy but not vulgarity. So it is a good action drama set in the background of Uttar Pradesh. I`m very glad I could be part of it," Saif said.

Set in Lucknow, ‘Bullett Raja’ also stars Jimmy Shergill and Sonakshi Sinha. It hits theatres Nov 29.
