Bajirao Mastani vs Dilwale: Christmas clash to be averted

It never made any business sense, but Sanjay Leela Bhansali and the lead cast of ‘Bajirao Mastani’ had reconfirmed time and again that their film would hit screens during Christmas 2015.

However, reliable sources close to Sanjay Leela Bhansali have confirmed that the makers of ‘Bajirao Mastani’ are now looking at a solo release date in 2016.

The reports come a week after Red Chillies Entertainment officially announced the release date of Rohit Shetty’s ‘Dilwale’ starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon.

Earlier this week, there were also reports that the shoot of ‘Bajirao Mastani’ was delayed by a few days due to Ranveer Singh’s surgery and Bhansali wanting to reshoot a song sequence of the film.

The period drama starring Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra in the lead, is touted to be one of the costliest films produced in Bollywood. A clash against a Shahrukh – Kajol film could have backfired big time, more so since Bhansali’s ‘Saawariya’ failed to match upto SRK’s Om Shanti Om back in 2007.

While the news is yet to be officially confirmed by Eros International or Sanjay Leela Bhansali, it’s more or less confirmed that the film won’t release in December.

There you go then, Shah Rukh Khan will get a solo Christmas release this year.

  • wow @Ultron, im shocked of your hatred toward SRK as if he killed your parents or wife or children, he is just actor and successfull businessman, calm down, go outside and breath fresh air, too much hatred hurts only you and your health.

  • @fakeshahrukh i think you forgot CHENNAI EXPRESS has thrashed and broken the 3 idiot record in 2013 only…your fake argument failed

  • Srk will beat pk’s record for surety….!!
    srk will create 400 crore club in domistic!
    All the best for Dilwale!
    Only two things I want from srk and Rohit !
    1st : dilwale should not be more than 2:40
    hours . As lengthy movies do hardly well at box office .so it should be 2:33 hours ..!!
    * 2nd : I want srk sir to increase the ticket
    price and do not decrease the ticket price
    on weekdays….!!!
    just these two things are enough to create a new 400 crore club in domistic and 300
    crore in overseas….!!!
    worldwide : 800 crore+ mark my words..!!

  • @sky, don’t be over confident….!!!

    Raju papa aamir will not be on the top .
    there will be so many amazing movies
    are awaited….

    500 crore and 600 crore in domistic bo!
    dangal will be aamir’s real test of stardom!
    and plz don’t worry about dilwale…
    it will blacken pk’s record…

  • Here someone said that, no one have guts to clash with sarook. I want to tell him a name: Nightmare Ajay! :D

  • @javed what do you mean raju papa. It’s aamir papa for raju whose only 2 movies became highest grossers of the year and highest grossers of all time. So shut up. Rohit papa will be saving grace to save the career of sarookh kid whose whole career from 1993 to 2015 and onwards has depended on yash papa, karan bhaiya and now rohit papa. 2 papas and one bade bhaiya for sarookh. Shame shame. Forget pk, dhoom 3’s record is also out of reach for small puny actor sarookh.

  • @IamAKN
    yeh lamhe judaii ke total boxoffice collections 0.45cr without clash
    marigold 1cr with class clash
    biggest disaster YLJK
    Not a single movie of Salman khan to collect less than 1cr

  • @shaggy 265 cr only?Is it a small amount.?Being realistic any movie which will able to cross 250 may become highest grosser of the year..For 300cr a movie need superb wom with 3 open weeks..

  • @ nipun :
    This is the first time I’m mentioning you , I’ve never mentioned your name before .
    But still you’ve taken my previous comment upon yourself , thus proving that you really are a ‘pseudo-critic’ .
    BTW , you’ve called me a ‘retard’ as well , although I still have some respect left for you .

  • @ nipun : By your logic , I’ve enjoyed Ta Ra Rum Pum much more than Bing Bong , just like I enjoyed Karan Arjun much more than Jadoo 1, 2, 3, 4, …

  • @nipun,ha ha,it was just my turn to show you a good example.once you tried to taught me jealousy instead of jealousness which was a mistake due to hurry.similarly I now tried taught you in similar way what you tried in that day.it’s not necessary to know whether you did such mistake of my type or not.BTW the day you will establish yourself as a reputed identity in the society ,on that day you can think your education get the right use.still then no one even tried to know whether you’re a horse or dog.so definitely it’s a joke when a kid is challenging me,lol.

    BTW @nipun,you don’t know the meaning of ‘intense’ I think!!!!!,lol.singham returns didn’t have 10% intense scenes of CE’S 2ND HALF INTENSE SCENES.so better not make fool yourself again.I will not even hesitate to say for some reason you tried to rate some movies above the most intense of movies of this decade so far ‘HAIDER’.well as @arjun kapoor said,the unnecessary joke of bang bang—-house named as ghar,ROFL.I think your hrithik couldn’t offer you a single comedy movie,for the reason why you you have veryess knowledge based on comedy.and by following Rajeev masana,anupama chopra you yourself already thinking like critics though you till now don’t know the meaning of intense.CE is a average movie and it’s better than all below average classes like singham returns b grade Hollywood remake bang bang,jadoo3 and many of your such hr films,FACTS are always bitter.

    @rew,facts are always bitter Raju papa can give blockbuster of his own both in domestic and overseas.but kid Rohit still couldn’t give even a flop in overseas with out KING KHAN an this films are big disasters only in overseas,lol.FACT is always bitter.while KING KHAN established 3 BIGGEST BANNERS OF BOLLYWOOD—-YRF,DP,RCE.at that same time amir/salman is dreaming to work with these productions and also did and also dependent on south remake pirated DVDs+Raju papa+Biggest Brand+heroines like Katrina,Sonakhshi,Anushka.shame shame!!!!!KING KHAN made 3 banners while salman/amir destroyed all of their papa/chacha’s banner and shut them closed forever,lol.meanwhile KJO sir removed non actor stardoless lallu and choose Better and greater star Varun into it and and some producers are making cases on fraud sallu,ROFL.these papa’s made talentless boys are good for nothing in the industry.but thanks to south remake /raju papa/dhoom/big heroines saved the career of these decade disaster so called stars,lol.

    @kingu amoor khan,well if you didn’t forget then amir’s ahat thrashed by KING KHAN’S RAM JAANE,so better to shut up when own star failed in that category,lol.which nightmare you’re talking about,ajay?who despite released a masala film sos still beaten by THE OFFBEAT CLASSIC JTHJ and whose satyagraha later screwed by CE just like sewer rats,lol.

    @kkkk,still 90’s delayed release YLHJK is a flop with out KING KHAN’S VOICE,peomotions.but not a disaster like sallu’s well promoted multiplex era release marigold,ROFL.while salman and amir(the both decade disaster stars) has 3 golden disasters each in their name while OUR KING KHAN has not even a single disaster,now enjoy,ROFL.

  • whenever it will release it has no chance to break pk and kick’s opening day record and also lifetime record is out of reach. the film has nothing new to offer than same 50 years old man romancing his old woman again with bizarre overacting. same childish love story of old man. without aamir christmas is nothing. 2010, 2011 and 2012 were big examples of aamir’s absence on christmas. they both were dry and flop christmas. no one can match aamir in fan following and popularity. only dangal will break pk’s record in india and overseas.

  • this movie will be disaster like tees maar khan. no one can save this christmas. only aamir can rule christmas and next year the lion will be back on his arena.

  • You silly haters. You don’t get it right, don’t you. SRK is the number 1 in everything. Aamir just nr 1 in boxoffice lately because of luck, Hirani and Dhoom brand. Otherwise he is nothing, Salman is bigger than Aamir.
    By the way; Another flop to add to Aamir Khan. Thanks to his irritating voice-over in Dil Dhadhake Do, the movie is a flop. He spoilt the whole movie with his DOG voice over.
    So the period of Dhobigat and Talaash is coming back, his flop period.

  • @overacting atleast put your fact right…kick does not have any record and mind you….HAPPY NEW YEAR HOLDS THE RECORD OF HIGHEST OPENING DAY COLLECTION…44.97cr……..2 days before only indicine posted that article….SRK will be breaking his own record of opening day collection this christmas

  • @oberacting ka king,due to overacting 1st installment mangal pandey becomes disaster,so with out Raju papa/Dhoom no one will let your tingu to get a solo relasw,so dangal pandey will be a disaster,ROFL.

  • What is ‘Common’ thing in KKHH,DTPH,VZ And KANK? Its Yrf / Dhrama’…
    Sarook without Them -Disasters like Paheli,Ra-one and Billu…..

  • Salman Films-Star Power

    Aamir-Star Power+Quality

    Sarook-Heavy Promotions And Result-Only Hit.

  • When was the last time sarook gave an ATBB….LOL not even in the last decade but the decade before that.
    AK 5 ATBB, SRK 2 ATBB [out of that 1 with help of Salman Khan].

    Hats off to Aamir for giving us the kind of films which can be remembered forever. Truly the most versatile actor after Naseeruddin shah and Kamal Hassan.

  • King- of box office Aamir & salman no other actor can beat the Aamir & salman khan.

    2008- Aamir top grosser.114cr Atbb
    2009- Aamir top grosser. 202cr.Atbb
    2010- salman top grosser. 144cr.Atbb
    2011- salman top grosser.148cr.bb
    2012- salman top grosser.199cr.bb
    2013- Aamir top grosser.285cr.Atbb
    2014-Aamir top grosser.340cr.Atbb.

    in 2015 Highest Grosser will be either Bajrangi Bhaijaan or Prdp so Aamir & Salman Rocks while Teesra Khan Sarook competing with Akshay,Tushar, Varun and Ranbir lol.

  • @The Phenom: the way you replied me made me feel like you could be a blindfan like sss, dynamic or Syed which is way I called you retard. But from your latter comments, It looks like you’re a sensible fellow compared to them! I’m sorry if my comment hurted you!
    BTW, Karan Arjun is a popular film, but qualitywise, it is considered as a bad film by many. As for Siddharth Anand, he has never made a good film in his career. I found Salaam Namastey his best one, even though it was an above average film!

    @sss: i won’t change my opinion. I had rated Queen,Filmistaan and PK over Haider as I enjoyed them more. But it doesn’t mean I didn’t love Haider.
    BTW, hats off to you for writing such over-long comments!
