All eyes are on the Sultan vs Raees during Eid this year, a clash that is being touted as the biggest box office clash of all time. There are also reports of ‘Baahubali 2’ makers seriously looking at the Christmas 2016 weekend, more so because the shoot is currently ahead of schedule.  We also have Hrithik Roshan’s ‘Mohenjo Daro’ vs Akshay Kumar’s ‘Rustom’ vs ‘Hera Pheri 3’, what with makers of all three films eyeing the Independence Day weekend.

Full list of clashes in 2016:

  • February 12: Fitoor vs Sanam Re

  • Feb 12: Fitoor
    Feb 19: Neerja
    Mar 25: Great Grand Masti
    May 13: Mirziya
    Jun 5: Housefull 3
    Eid: Sultan
    Aug 12: Mohenjo Daro
    Diwali: Shivaay
    Christmas: Bahubali 2 (Dangal might take bigger opening, overall Bahubali 2 will be higher)

    I think Sultan will take a bigger opening than Raees, lifetime Raees has a chance if it turns out to be a good film. Dilwale has hurt SRK and I simply don’t see Raees taking a bigger opening than Sultan.

    Bahubali 2 releasing on same day as Dangal, IMO, will be the biggest and toughest clash of 2016. Bahubali 2 everyone would want to watch, I think Hindi will do 200 crore.

    Mohenjodaro might find it tough if Rustom and Hera Pheri release on same day. I still think Mohenjo will win both the opening and final battle.

    There is lot of hype about Shivaay.. I don’t like Karan Johar films.. Ranbir is going through career low and I don’t see him recovering with Jagga Jasoos.. so Ae Dil Hai Mushkil will be a big test for both Karan and Ranbir.

    Housefull 3 will easily win against Jagga.. All others are small clashes..

  • After a long time I have read such an incredible article . 2016 can be called as the year of clashes . It is tough to predict the winners but I will do .

    12th Feb – Fitoor vs Sanam Re – SR
    Currently looking at the buzz of both the movies I feel SR has an upper hand . The music has worked, trailer has been good and the rumours of Pulkit and Yami dating is also giving good publicity . Also Valentine’s Weekend is the best time for such kind of movies . Fitoor on the other hand is looking boring and confusing . The trailer has been average and the music is nice . Also Aditya is coming after 17 months since DEI which is a huge gap .

    19th Feb – Neerja vs Tere Bin Laden : Dead Or Alive – Neerja
    Neerja is looking pretty good and it is a Biopic on the life of Neerja Bhanot . Audiences are appreciating such kind of movies and the budget also looks reasonable in my opinion . Tere Bin Laden is one of the most funniest movies in the last 5 years but the trailer of this movie looks mediocre . Ali Zafar was perfect for this role and Manish Paul is not looking like a ideal replacement . Unless something goes wrong Neerja will be the clear winner .

    25th March – RH vs GGM – RH
    The teaser of RH is superb . Masti is also a huge franchise and GM did 100 CR in 2013 which is a massive achievement . But currently people are fed up of adult comedies and this can be understood by looking towards KKHH 3 and Mastizaade . RH will have never seen before action sequences as said by John and if all goes well will be the 1st solo 100 CR Grosser of JA . Also the Censor Board is taking a strong stand against such movies so I feel GGM will have a lot of cuts .

    3rd June – H3 vs JJ – H3
    First of all I don’t think this clash will take place because I think JJ will be shelved or postponed . JJ has been in the news for more than 2 years and for all the wrong years and all this happened with BV and the result was the Biggest Disaster of All Time . This time Ranbir is the producer so he has to use his money cautiously and smartly . Also because of his current form the opening will be poor . H3 is a massive franchise and both the movies were very successful so if the clash happens H3 will dominate against JJ .

  • In #Eid 2016 Legends will collide and box office records are gonna get smashed by them.
    Love them or hate them DAT doesn’t matter. U can’t ignore them.

    Raees vs Sultan
    Legend vs Legend
    Game on…

    65 days to go #FAN

  • Fan n Housefull3 are only two big films releasing solo, Raees v/s Sultan n Mohenjodaro v/r Rustom clash is confirmed i think Hera feri 3 postpone to sept n raees prepone to pre eid 1st july. Dangal v/s Bahubali and ADHM v/s Shivay also more or less certain, clash only affect openning if film is good it works example BM

  • Akshay Kumar has proved that he don’t have to be a khan to get successful in Bollywood. He is a versatile actor and also he had done super blockbuster films. Mr. Khiladi of film industry is
    considered to be in close competition with khans of Bollywood. Akshay was brilliant at martial arts and he has done over 100 films in Bollywood, at his start of career he came in light through his action films. Apart from this his name is Khiladi, Khiladi Kumar, Akki is given by his fans.

    Here 9 Reasons why Akshay Kumar is better than any Khan of Bollywood…

    1) Akshay Kumar can carry all kind of role given to him he is basically an all-rounder in Bollywood and no doubt he can pull off the comic role better than all the Khans of Bollywood.

    2. Compared with all the Khans in Bollywood Akshay is the most efficient and hard working actor in the B-Town.

    3) He does films to inspire people not just to earn money.

    4) Khiladi of Bollywood is known for his discipline. He is regular with his exercise and his daily routines. Also he is one of
    those actors who always reach on time for his shootings.

    5) Akki has launched a production house named Grazing Goats Pictures for supporting low budget films in 2011.

    6. He never gets into uglycontroversies just to create publicity.

    7. He is a family Man, though his past records in term of telationship aren’t good, but he is now a best Husband and
    Father in real life.

    8. He does lots of social work without creating publicity and hype.

    9. He had no god father in Bollywood, he came into this industry only with his hard work and now even ruling the industry by giving the most critically acclaimed movies which no other Khan has ever done.

    RESPECT…!!!

    Jang Lagi Talvaaro Par Ab Dhaar Chadhani Hogi…
    Kuchh Log Auqaat Bhul Chuke Hai, Unhe Yaad Dilani Hogi…!!!

  • Raees would take a bigger opening and also have a bigger lifetime total both domestic and WW.
    All big mouth haters and bhaitards, remember its SRK who holds the record of highest 1st day collections & highest 1st weekend collections.
    Also, Lallu has a horrible past record when it comes to clashes, & SRK on the other hand has won almost all the clashes that he has faced.
    Loltan will be beaten left right & centre.
    Raees bhai aa rahe hai. RIP Loltan
    #Kaali

  • YRF will postponed Sultan because of their friendship with SRK and also Salman and SRK are friends now.. they won’t like to clash.

    And I think Salman Khan will let Raees release on eid. Sultan should come on Diwali. Good for both

  • Waiting for Azhar biopic.

    Azhar biopic will release solo. Mark my words.

    @neeraj @vyom Mankad
    keep ur false logic to urself…

    Azhar biopic hands down.

  • Raees and Sultan won’t clash. The hype around the clash will be generated until last few weeks and then the releases would be shifted. I’d love to see Aamir be challenged against Baahubali.
