2016 to be a year of box office clashes, with the mother of all clashes during Eid!

2016 will be one of those years when all the superstars in the industry will release the biggest and costliest films of their careers. While Salman Khan has Sultan scheduled for theatrical release during his favourite Eid weekend, Aamir Khan will release ‘Dangal’ during his most successful Christmas weekend.

Hrithik Roshan returns after 2 years with the highly-ambitious ‘Mohenjo Daro’ which is said to be bigger than ‘Baahubali’ when it comes to scale and production values. ‘Baahubali’ didn’t have a superstar, ‘Mohenjo Daro’ has one!

We also have Ajay Devgn, who will be directing and acting in the super-expensive film ‘Shivaay’ which is scheduled to release in theatres during Diwali.

Akshay Kumar too is set to return in a franchise film ‘Housefull 3’, announced for theatrical release during the ‘Post IPL’ weekend.

There are three mega clashes next year, all between superstars, but the clash that is generating the most interest is the one between ‘Sultan’ and ‘Raees’. Shah Rukh Khan has never lost a big clash and Salman Khan never disappoints during the Eid weekend.

Akshay’s Rustom is set to release against Hrithik’s ‘Mohenjo Daro’ and Karan Johar has announced his plans to release ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ during Diwali – setting up a clash with Ajay’s Shivaay.

2016 will be a year of clashes, with the mother of all clashes taking place between ‘Raees’ and ‘Sultan’.

Ormax Media, India’s only specialised Media Insights firm, that tracks box office trends, has released their list of Top 5 films of 2016 (as of November). Sultan tops the list, followed by Dangal and Raees. Then there is ‘Housefull 3’ and ‘Fan’. ‘Mohenjo Daro’ and others, don’t find a mention in the Top 5.

  • Dangal will most probably be the HGOTY in 2016. Even if other big films didn’t clash, Dangal would’ve been the HGOTY. There is no match for Stardom+Content = Ace Aamir = Dangal.
    Saruk fans, even a non-commercial biopic like Dangal scores over Raees and Fan in terms of buzz and most waited movie list. This is the real stardom!
    Nobody cares abt Youtube, twitter and multi-starrer stardom. ?

  • Dangal should also face a clash by any means ….!!!
    I want srk sir to release his next movie during Christmas 2016 !!!!!!
    my top awaited movies of 2016 !!
    Fan
    Raees
    mohenjo daro
    dangal
    houseful 3
    shivaay
    not interested in Crappy sultan !!!

  • Strange!!
    Mohenjodaro not in top 5, house full 3 is in top 5, unbelievable.
    My prediction of the clashes-
    Sultan- 200 crs, Raees- 170 crs
    Mohenjodaro- 185 crs, Rustom- 80 crs
    Ae dil h mushkil- 100 crs, Shivay- 120 crs.
    If RAEES content will be liked and SULTAN did not find appreciation then vice versa can happen..
    Overall Interesting year ahead for Bollywood

  • Rustom should be averted for there own good coz it has no single chance against Mahenjo Daro that’s the brutal truth

  • forget the collections

    forget the clashes

    2016 will have some never seen before spectacles from the biggest superstar of india

    now surely salman and aamir fans will talk about collection and winner or loosers in this article

    but for me indian cinema will win 2016

    and not to forget the almighty BAHUBALI ( which can be the highest grosser of the year)

  • What the hell is Sultan doing ahead of Raees? Worst is Multicasts House full 3 ahead of Fan Mohanjero and Shivaay!!! It’s just a site and few groups of individuals doing the polls. Well imo
    Srk is winning his clash with ease!! Ajay is winning his clash with super ease while Hritik roshan is winning his clash with Joker even if his trailer is released 2days before release and he does not even go out for a single promotion event!!!!!! Aamir is another actor I like but sorry Aamir! Shah rukh comes before anybody.

  • Highest grosser of last 8 years
    2008- Aamir
    2009- Aamir
    2010-Salman
    2011-Salman
    2012-Salman
    2013-Aamir
    2014-Aamir
    2015-Salman
    2016-Salman/Aamir

  • Ajay never lost a clash so its obvious that Shivaay will destroy Adhm and no doubt about that.

    -Sultan vs Raees: well, Salman Khan’s Sultan is leading the race by miles but I still believe that, clash won’t happen.

    -Mohenjdro vs Rustom: just lol a 70 actor cr called Akki wanna release his movies alongside Superstar Hrithik..one thing is for sure and its Rustom will be a tottally wash out in its first day.

  • 2015 Biggest Grosser.
    1.Bhajrangi Bhaijaan.
    2.Dilwale(for sure Xmas)
    3.PRDP
    4.Tanu weds Manu Returns.
    5. Tamasha(depo rabir chemistry)

  • For me there is only 2 clash. That of Shah rukh khan vs Salman and Ajay vs RK. Unfortunately the good thing is Hritik Mohenjo Dark will be the highest grosser of the year. Then Dangal. Then Fan. Then Shivaay. Then Raees. Then last not the least Sultan.
