Shahrukh Khan and the History of Diwali Clashes!

It would not be wrong to state that SRK’s superstardom has been scripted mostly due to the festival of lights. Long before other superstars could claim their stake on the Diwali festivity, the ‘Baadshah of Bollywood’ has lent the auspicious festival his box office vigour.

In Indian cricket, the question that was asked for years was ‘who would replace the Big 3 (Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman). In a few years from now, Bollywood too could find themselves in a situation, where there could be a lack of ‘bankable stars’.

VVS Laxman didn’t take much time to hang up his boots either. And suddenly there seems to be this huge question in Indian cricket – ‘Do we have a succession plan?’

Joker First Weekend Collections

After a poor start on Friday, Joker failed to show any growth in business over the weekend at the box office. The 3 day weekend collections stand at Rs 15 crore nett. The failure of Joker is unlikely to have any impact on Akshay Kumar’s next solo release Khiladi 786.  Although, Sonakshi Sinha has tasted failure for the first time in her career, after runaway blockbusters like Dabangg and Rowdy Rathore.

Ek Tha Tiger 3rd Saturday – Picks up!

Since Joker has hardly shown any growth on it’s second day, ETT could post huge numbers on Sunday too. Ek Tha Tiger 3rd weekend collections Friday – 1.8 crores Saturday – 2.25 crores
