Bollywood king Shah Rukh Khan's science fiction superhero film "Ra.One" looks set to be the only blockbuster this Diwali as Bollywood gears up for the annual festive period. Like Christmas in the West, the holiday season around the Hindu festival of lights on October 26 is traditionally a bumper time for the Hindi-language film industry, with a slew of big name, big budget movies vying for top spot.
But while major productions have gone head-to-head in previous years, this year there are few, if any, challengers to Khan's special effects-packed movie, which has cost more than $20 million to make -- one of Bollywood's most expensive films ever.
Some analysts predicted that the film, which sees Khan play "G.One", who saves humanity from evil villain Ra.One, would break box office records.
"Two other films are due out on October 27, "Tell Me O Kkhuda" (Tell Me O God), starring 1970s star Hema Malini's daughter Esha Deol and veteran actor Dharmendra, and "Damadamm" with singer-turned-actor Himesh Reshammiya. But both are low budget and low profile in comparison.
