Release Date of Aamir Khan’s Dangal?

Time to answer some questions from readers as part of our ‘QnA’ section. We answer a few questions on the release date of Dangal, the future after the ‘Khans era’ and a few more.

Q. What is the release date of Aamir Khan’s Dangal? Will it get a Christmas release like most other Aamir films?

A. While Aamir Khan has said in a couple of interviews that his next is Dangal, the film hasn’t yet been officially announced. So it doesn’t have a release date as of now. Trade sources say, Dangal is not commercial entertainer to take advantage the Christmas weekend that extends to New Year. So Aamir might release the film on some other weekend like Post-IPL, Gandhi Jayanti week etc. Stay tuned to Indicine for the official announcement and more on the final release date of the film.

Q. After the end of Khans era, will there be a tough fight between Hrithik Roshan and Ranbir Kapoor for supremacy at box office?

A. Too early to talk about actors who will be competing for the top spot at the box office. The Khans are likely to continue their dominance for a few more years. What the industry really needs is many more bankable stars. The more, the better! Ideally, 15-20 actors who can command a good initial will be fantastic. Currently, we only have about 8-10 actors.

Q. Who are the most promising newcomers? Please give Top 5.

A. Currently the most promising male newcomers are Varun Dhawan, Ranveer Singh, Sushant Singh Rajput, Sidharth Malhotra and Arjun Kapoor. Amongst female actors, there are many – Alia Bhatt, Parineeti Chopra, Shraddha Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, Yami Gautam.. just to name a few.

Q. Where was Imtiaz Ali’s Highway shot?

A. Finally a non box-office / star related question. Highway was filmed on the highways of Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Delhi, Rajasthan and Punjab.. Major portions of the film were also shot in the Aru Valley near Pahalgam and the Leh-Srinagar Highway, which is a fantastic place to do a road-trip!

Q. Deepika Padukone acted in Happy New Year and Yeh Jawani hai deewani. But both credits go to Shahrukh Khan and Ranbir Kapoor. Why are box office collections credited to male actors only? – Vinay

A. Unfortunately, Bollywood and most others film industries in India are male-dominated. The audience come to watch heroes, irrespective of their age, romance beautiful girls, sing songs and bash the baddies. Female-centric films, with the exception of erotic adult films, don’t even get a initial at the box office. Kangana Ranaut’ Queen opened at 1.85 crore, Kahaani was around the same. Even a solo Deepika Padukone film might struggle to touch the 5 crore mark on Day 1.

  • SRK if not Khans will continue there run for the next 15 years … Believe me… Recent modern technology will enable them…

    SRK looked better in Chennai Express than Jaded outdated Ranbir in Besharam …. Ranbir is finished now…

    As far as Hrithik is considered.. He will not be there after 2 years… He does 1 film in 3 yrs.. Audience tend to forget him …and he has no Papa film also…

    And Dangal will flop if not released on Christmas ….

    And remove Arjun Kapoor , sidharth ,Ranveer singh n Sushant from that promising list.. They will wilt away soon …
    Only varun dhawan will prevail …

  • @indicine please provide us update about Mr.X poster/trailer ..

    It is a landmark film for bollywood. It will revolutionalise superhero films in India.
    People have made fun of Ra.One and Krrish 3 …. But lemme tell u .. These kinda films r difficult to be made… Atleast in India…..

    Waiting for Mr.X 3D …
    I don’t know why some pseudo-Critiques typin waiting for this-that ….!! ….

    Had Mr.X been there favourite star film .. They wud hv been gaga over it…..

    Only unbiased Critiques recommended in indicine site..

  • Aamir should release Dangal on a non holiday release date and prove his true stardom…Waiting for Dangal,looks interesting!!

  • Khans will rule for 10 more years atleast by khans i mean salmir
    after that it wil b varun and ranbir and who knows may be imran khan
    alia and shradda from girls

  • @Indicine!! you guys are so smart and cunning, You often publish big star’s articles on midnight,thus you will get’s more hits even at midnight!!! wow…

    I really appreciate your hard work and enthusiasm , but don’t you think it’s not fare to publish a leaked surprise part of a film if the news is not official ? i am talking about ‘Fan’. Please keep surprise secrets. I hope you don’t feel bad..

  • @Mayur-emraan Don’t spread rumours. Mr.X is not superhero film. It is a fantasy sci-fi film. It has a double role of emraan playing a cop n greedy scientist who can do anything for his experiments.
    And it is not hyped because it is not of red-chillies . Don’t exagerate.

  • Very much excited for Dangal, as far as I know Aamir’s sensibility being a fan of him,its sure Dangal won’t be a holiday release but if the content of the movie is anything which have a good lesson for large section if audience,you never know it can be a holiday release just like TZP was.But it is a biopic so they will settle for non holiday, expecting Dangal in second half of 2016.
    Yes the khan dominance will continue for next 4-5 years.I wish Aamir will always contribute film industry after that being a producer or director.

  • Hrithik roshan is much better and bigger than rk hw can you even compare these two?? Hr is equivalent to khans and in terms of acting he is better than the khans

  • You Forgot Imran khan & Aditya Roy kapur..vry promising !!

    Heroes ko hee credit milna chahiye yarr !! krish 3 , rowdy , Dabang etc etc Mein heroinee ne kya kiya ?? kuch nhi phir v belftu ki publicity milti h heroinees ko !!
    I think our heroinees r still getting too much then they deserved !!!!!

    Nd only katrina kaif Iz the heroinee Who should be given credit for the success of the movies in which she plays the lead !! Her songs r enough to pull audience !!

    these Deepika & sonakshi r nothing !! Fltu Ki publicity & fame ka mza lut rhi h .

  • Thank god Akshay Kumar se related koi question nhi tha !!
    INDICINE I request you to stop taking akshay Kumars name in any of ur article bcos in ur opinion he iz behind then these ranbir hrithik & Ajay !!!
    Akshay Kumar k Earnings k ass pass v nhi ye teeno !
    ye teeno jitna kmaate h utna akki akela kamaata h !! mind it !! do publish my cmnt . Thanks

  • The highway question was boring.

    Other questions were interesting but some of the answers not so.

    Arjun fannyless kapoor is definitely not in the top 5 most promising actors list- hes proven he is too talentless to act n super ugly to woo the audiences attention- ppl turn away when he appears onscreen abit like during devgans movies from the 90s….. This guy beling in some bad kanti shah movie or kashyap crapfest as an extra…

    After Khans- its the age of Varun and RK, Sid may surprise me but as of now RK n Varun are the safe bet. Jaadoo boy may semi retire n take over the family home made pirated video business n take Jaadoo franchise to Hollywood n join hands with Marvel Comics…!

  • Dangal news on the web- recent news has it that Aamir will portray a younger version of Mahavir Singh n an older version…. What dedication to his craft- a lean n mean Aamir- deadly combo alas Ghajini film. Could mean we get to see Aamir wrestle n I personally would love to see him wrestle some loser like a triniman n layeth the smacksown on his candya$$…!

    Cant wait for Content Rich Dangal….!

  • Correction

    Deepika helped Finding Fanny (source Wikipedia) collect 5.1cr on its opening day but once WOM got out about Arjun not being able to find Fanny at the end of the movie it was destined for flop status thereafter…!

  • Our Bhai can rule the box office as long as he can stand. All he will have to do is just stand. The stunt men can perform the action scenes. Everything else can be done using VFX like the stunning abs in ETT n Jai Ho. #BhaiRoxx

  • heys guys, I m back with new name.b4 I used to comment with name wtf-the original. I m regular reader of indicine. eventually I had made decision that I should again start commenting coz I couldn’t control myself.I used to read every comment especially I like the way @babaji @gi07 comments and irritates me the way Arjun kappor fan comments.I hope this time will turn good for me.

  • srk might rule for 5 years more but no knows what will happen in future.
    so for me it is srk and hrithik who will rule bollywood for 10 yrs more..
    our bhai should retire becoz of south tortures…
    dangal should come on 2nd oct aamir will show his real stardom..
    rest rest in peace.
    my love and my world is srk and hrithik..
    raees: 600 crore worldwide
    mohenjo daro: 500+ worldwide
    wating for raees and mohenjo daro

  • slap to those who blabbered hny was a hit coz of deepka padukone.
    dp will struggle to give an opening weekend of 45 crs which hny did on its first day infact rather her movie’s lifetime will not cross hny’s openind day figures.example finding fanny

  • if hrithik do 2 films per year I am sure he is equivalent to ranveer singh forget about Salman khan. overrated actor.

  • Khans are 48, aki 45, ajay 44, saif 42, hr 40. All of them are more or less almost same age catagory, so after the end of khans era i don’t think hr or aki dominate but ranbir sureshoot dominate a few more year before the arival of new khans n kumars
