So basically what we can conclude that overall collections in numbers of both films will take a hit ( as against if they were coming solo )…also to add that other biggies like Race 2 are already confirmed for end November, which would mean even more that the 2 Diwali films will hardly get the breathing space to have a long run & post big numbers. Sitting through Chopra’s last film “Veer Zaara” was sheer torture frankly…if he is going to churn out the same kind of melodramatic love story & not offer anything fresh/inventive, then it could be trouble for the film’s fate. If Devgan’s film turns out to a masala entertainer in the lines of Singham, it is bound to make substantial dent in the overall collections of SRK/Chopra film. Much would also depend on the content of the 2 films. Devgan’s film would also get a substantial multiplex release & a wider single screen release. SRK’s film will probably get a wider multiplex release but even here it is not as if it would get 95 % of multiplex shows ( as was the case with Ra.One ). With 2 big films on same day, collections will eat into each other’s as they will get more or less equal screen space. However, this won’t be the case at this year’s Diwali. In fact, Ra.One getting 20 crore plus on its 2nd day was entirely due to the humongous screen count. Last year’s Diwali was a different story altogether as Ra.One was a solo release with a massive print count both at single screen & multiplexes. For this, the film needs to get a huge response in single screens, and not just multiplexes as has been the case with Don 2. So SRK badly needs the Chopra film to work big time & be a blockbuster at the least, considering he is coming back to his favourite romantic genre. His domestic box office standing has taken a beating in last 4 years…Ra.One fiasco & Don 2 failing to get even an opening in single screens is a definite cause for concern. Feel it is SRK who should be feeling jittery about the clash. Looks like either Devgan / Akshay may have to defer the release by 2 weeks, somehow don’t see 3 big films coming on Diwali.ĭisagree slightly that it will be Devgan’s film which will get hit in case Son of Sardar & SRK/ Chopra film do clash. As a matter of fact, Akshay’s Khiladi 486 is also supposed to come on the same day. Just carrying on from the earlier discussion on Son of Sardar vs SRK/ Chopra film coming on Diwali.
