  • “It’s not the ideal situation but it’s happening now and all we can do is communicate with each other and do the best we can.”

    When someone like cheap Roshans talk about ethics and ideality then it really pisses me off ….!!!!!

  • Roshans do not move kaabil from January 26 which is indeed a very dull period for business because of three reasons :
    1. Pakistani actress mahira khan
    2. Kaabil budget is less
    3. They are extremely confident of Sanjay Gupta’s direction .

  • Roshans have done lots of dramas but excel and RCE haven’t spoken even one bad word about this clash ….

    Maa kasam kaabil ko hum nahi chorengi ..

  • Very good.RAEES is a definitely a good film and kaabil is a Sanjay Gupta film.just because it’s a low budget film,that’s why roshans are tension free.still get can think about it’s image.

  • Best of luck to both of you !!! I am a big fan of SRK & hope that best will be win the clash, but I am sure that in the movie RAEES we can see superb acting talent by SRK.

  • Srk will use all his force to spread negativity for Kaabil just like Kjo paid Krk, critics to sabotage Shivaay..

    These Srk, Kjo r just d same who r expert in paying critics n media to sabotage other film n hype own film.

    Now varun, arjun r following same footsteps n they hv paid indicine to make avg dishoom abv avg .. n abv avg Ki n ka into hit.

  • Both teams know how bad this is gonna end if the clash is on… I really hope they’ll find a solution. Best of luck to them !

  • good film always win clash
    and
    in my opinion kaabil will win
    BTW
    for all srk one u have to notice ranbir kapoor is bigger star than srk
    ranbir is better actor than srk
    and in his favorite genre romantic film
    ranbir is ahead of srk

    mark my word
    lol

    romance king one and only srk

  • Dont worry dugguu..
    SRK will beat u easily in the clash.
    Until n Unless u use your papa Roshan calculator. :(

    Bhai ka Fan

  • Srk gives three back to back flop HNY, DILWALE and FAN

    But srk fans predicting 150cr for RAEES

    Hrithik gives one flop Mohenjo-Daro
    But srk fans predicting KAABIL only 120cr

    How fake they are and their predictions

    150cr for KAABIL with clash

  • I can’t say who will win the clash between Kaabil and Raees but I can definitely say this clash will be not ugly . This is the 3rd consecutive clash of HR after BB and MD . This is also SRK’s 3rd clash in this decade after JTHJ and Dilwale . Hrithik has a healthy relationship with Farhan and Ritesh . As of now I don’t think the clash will be averted as Kaabil has been officially announced for 26th Jan and Raees trailer is expected to be launched with DZ next week .

  • Well I fail to understand why 2 big movies fight for just one National holiday (Jan 26th in this case). Let me put a couple of scenarios:-

    Scenario 1 : Raees and Kaabil clash on 26th Jan and assuming both gets good/excellent WOM and equal (more or less) no of screens (2400-2600)..

    In this case the max collection for each could be 15-16cr for the opening day and a 3 day weekend of say around 50-55 cr per film. And obviously one will eat into others’ revenue in the weekdays as well.

    Result : Both movies that would have collected 160-180cr (or even more) if released solo could end up with 90-100 only!

    Both parties will lose here and the movie with higher production cost will lose more.

    Scenario 2 : If Kaabil or Raees comes solo on 13th Jan and the WOM is good/excellent

    Screen count : 3600-3800
    First day could still go around 20cr (as MSD – The untold story showed us)
    First weekend could be around 75-80 cr)
    Final collection will show the full potential of the movie..

    I mean…I don’t understand why FilmKRAFT or Excel can’t think like this?! Isn’t it childish to just show ego and being adamant for just one holiday where you can clearly see you won’t make that advantage count coz of the clash? When will our filmmakers learn such valuable lessons…?

    @Indicne your take on my comment plz….thank you!

  • The clash won’t be averted. Rakesh Roshan is superstitious regarding movie names and release dates whereas Raees is already a much delayed movie.
    End of the story.

  • It’s clear he doesn’t want the clash, I mean who in their right mind would? Really disappointed by Raees makers to firstly, push the release date ahead from last Eid, then deciding to clash with another big movie in January for a single holiday. It’s about SRK’s ego now, he knows it’s bad business, but his ego won’t allow him to change the release date by a week or so. Rakeshji is superstitious, he never changes his release dates and title of his movies always starts with ‘K’. I’m still hoping for clash to be averted and both movies get solo release.
