  • Salman is moving towerds becoming biggest superstar dvr. I cn see he is reluctant to do dabbang 3. Plus he refuse no entry main entry too.
    He is working thord time with kabir n nw with sucess of sultan he is working with ali jafar again.
    So no 1 cn stop him nw.
    Srk cannot sustain cahse he is nt widely accepted as action or comedy star.
    While salman n akshay r great in comedy n action n proven champions. So srk is bit outdated n 1 dimentional nw .

  • @indicine is rani padmavati confirmed for christmas 2017? Now after yrf has announced tiger zinda hai dont you think that bhansali might push his film to a new date considering the star power that salman possessed today. please answer this one

  • While others are struggling to get even independence day weekend at the same time Bhai is getting 2 biggest festive season (Eid & Xmas) of the year.
    #Difference between MEGASTARDOM and tinystardom!!!

  • All the morons who have been relentlessly crying over Bhai’s holiday releases……Ans to a simple question….. Who stops your AUKAATless tiny star to release his movies on EDX???

  • I personally think the reason cause of amir choose diwali nt crismas is.
    1-raju hirani may clash with sanju biopic in crismas.
    2- a gud change fr amir as he has already most records n at diwali he can break opening day n opening weekend records too.
    I think indicine n the visitors will agree.

  • MC! khans… booking festival dates.. khans agar ek baap aur maa ki aulaad ho to come on non EDX. I support B2 & R. 2.0 south films will make ur records nanga..

  • Are you guys not sensing any pattern here. YRF has announced a movie with Amir Khan (Deepawali 2018). Then they announced a movie with Salman Khan(Christmas 2018). Now who is remaining??? Guess?? I will not be surprised if they announce a movie with SRK within a few days now(mostly Dhoom4 or Aditya Chopra’s next) targeting Eid 2018.

  • The galaxy gigastar is all set to clash his the ring with Akki’s Crack on independence day weekend. Eid & Xmas are much better periods than independence day. According to his 3.7 billion fans Eid/Xmas release guareentees 300cr grossers cum ATBB. Now a question comes to my mind…WTH duniya ka sabse bada superstar is not releasing his movies on Eid or Xmas in 2017??? Doesn’t he want his movies to collect 300cr and bcm ATBB???

  • I am 100 percent sure, there will be a clash on Deepawali 2017. Golmaal 4 will not get a solo release.
    I would like SRK to announce “The Ring” for Deepawali 2017.
    I hope he announces the release date soon.

  • Now ,roshans should book diwali or x-mas 2019 for krrish 4 as its is the most successful franchise alongwith dhoom .All parts of krrish series r record breaking
    Kmg– hgoty
    Krrish — 2nd hgoty
    K3– athg and 2nd hgoty
    So ,it deserves EDX

  • In my comment @ 7.21 pm, its Christmas 2017, not Christmas 2018 (for Salman-YRF Release). I hope Indicine, you can edit it.
    Thanks

  • There is an actor who gives flop in EDX and his fans cry if other actor books EDX lol ???? and there is no price for guessing that disaster king.

  • There is an actor who gives flop in EDX and his fans cry if other actor books EDX lol ???? and there is no prize for guessing that disaster king.

  • Now Seriously srk should take serious action and put and end to his so-called strategy … he should book Eid 2017 for the Ring !!!!!!!!!
    I want to see this announcement soon !!!
    One thing is clear that Salman will not get solo release in 2017 !!!!!

  • Tubelite-blockbuster
    G4-blockbstr
    thugs-blockbstr
    tiger-blockbstr

    untitled film-disaster

    becoz of hirani’s dutt biopic

  • @harsh dholakia akki has given a big flop in 15th aug ,brothers and before airlift ,agneepath and race 2 r superhits in 26th jan
    And u r saying like airlift and rustom r record breaking movies while they didn’t cross 130 cr. Lol ???

  • Only 1 movie luks cheap….thats an untitled xmas 2018 release starring shahcook

    all others luks xciting
    g4(rohit-aj)
    tubelite(salman-kabir)
    thugs(bigb-amir)
    tiger(sequel)

  • This is rubbish. ..khans booking all festival dates in advance. ….we all know festival release means 50-70 cr added in the business whether ur movie is good or bad…we have examples srk hny…salman…prdp…amir. ..dhoom 3..These were craps but due to festivals these became hits…….media is responsible they made these 3 khans so big by continuously chanting their names….so if someone dares to clash their movie with these khans movies…They will not get proper publicity. ……

    ….and if these EDX khans book these festivals like that in advance. … how can the new crop of stars will earn big and claim superstar dom. ….

    …..This is absolutely rubbish…….

  • Golmaal 4 will not release solo on Diwali, It may clash with Robot 2.0. Robot 2.0 shud actually get solo release but we know Ajay is very stubborn, he will not shift. I bet Tiger Zinda Hai will collect less than Tubelight with or without clash with Rani Padmavati. Salman’s star power becomes less when he comes out of Eid.

  • Ranbir Kapoor is the best. But the problem with him is that he doesn’t care for his fans. The range he shows is unmatchable. These so called super stars are very small in talent but tall in fanbase. Hope he start respecting his fans. Cheers
