All eyes are on the Sultan vs Raees during Eid this year, a clash that is being touted as the biggest box office clash of all time. There are also reports of ‘Baahubali 2’ makers seriously looking at the Christmas 2016 weekend, more so because the shoot is currently ahead of schedule.  We also have Hrithik Roshan’s ‘Mohenjo Daro’ vs Akshay Kumar’s ‘Rustom’ vs ‘Hera Pheri 3’, what with makers of all three films eyeing the Independence Day weekend.

Full list of clashes in 2016:

  • February 12: Fitoor vs Sanam Re

    3 june = housefull 3
    EID = raees
    12 aug = MOHENJO DARO
    diwali = ADHM
    x’mas = bahubali 2….

  • Almost impossible to predict anything without even watching the posters,first look,teaser, trailer,music and marketing strategies..Would like to wait till these clashes happen

  • All big films doing well at box office no clashe matter for film like sultan baahubali dangal raees rustom HF3 mohenjodaro .all cross 100 min.

  • biggest box office clash will be dangal vs baahubali 2 because i don’t think khabees srk can stand in front of sultan salman.

  • Clash is very good for filmilover atleast they get a option to watch another film n avoid crap if HNY flopped then SRK never do Dilwale, PRDP also deserved clash then public suffered from torture

  • February 12: Fitoor
    March 25: Great Grand Masti
    May 13: Azhar biopic
    June 5: Housefull 3
    Eid 2016: Sultan
    August 12: Mohenjo Daro
    Diwali 2016: Shivaay
    Christmas 2016: Baahubali 2

  • Fitoor vs Sanam Re :::::::::::::::::::: FITOOR (bigger opener and bigger grosser)
    Great Grand Masti vs Rocky Handsome :::::::::::::::::: GGM (bigger opener and bigger grosser)
    Azhar biopic vs Mirziya :::::::::::::::::::::::: (AZHAR bigger opener but MIRZIYA bigger grosser)
    Housefull 3 vs Jagga Jasoos :::::::::::::::::::::::::: H3 (bigger opener and bigger grosser)
    Sultan vs Raees (Difficult to predict) but Sultan has a better chance.
    Mohenjo Daro vs Rustom vs Hera Pheri 3 :::::::::::::::::::: (this clash won’t happen) but if happened then MD is the winner!
    Ae Dil Hai Mushkil vs Shivaay ::::::::::::::::::::::: like the eid clash, this one is difficult to predict and this also sound like JTHJ and SOS clash, so it will be so close to each other with Shivaay the bigger opener but not with a big margin and the final gross will depend on content of both!
    Dangal vs Baahubali 2 :::::::::::::::::::::::::: Aamir is very lucky so Baahubali won’t release on christmas, but if this happens somehow both will co-exist like the first Baahubali and BB on eid 2015.

  • 100% agree with @ saksham.
    @ indicine- you can add regional collections for saarook movies but don’t add for south movies why?

  • mark my words…considering all the factors Mohenjodaro will be the all time highest grosser of indian cinema…n it will also acquire the cult status…shahenshah will be back at the top…

  • Winners (My prediction as for now ) = Feb 12 : Sanam Re , March 25 : Great Grand Masti , May 13 : Mirziya , June 5 : Housefull 3 , Eid 2016 : Sultan , Aug 12 : Mohenjodaro , Diwali 2016 : Shivaay , Christmas 2016 : Baahubali 2

  • Feb 12 – sanam re
    March 25 – Great Grand Masti
    May 13 – azhar biopic
    June 5 – housefull 3
    Eid – Raees
    August 12 – mashenjodaro
    Dilwale – shivaay
    Xmas – Bahubali 2
    & the biggest grosser will be RAEES

  • Breaking news:salman is playing begger in sultan…and recently’s poster has proved that sultan is playing begger in this movie

  • those who are saying Sultan will take bigger opening than Raees
    I am obliged to remind you that SRK still has the biggest opening ever in history of bollywood 45 cr that too with “tees maar khan” director.. salman bhai couldn’t even break it with sooraj sir, aamir couldn’t break it with hirani sir…
    SRK – this name is enough to say which film will take bigger opening… lifetime will depend on content… while sultan is directed by gunday’s director,raees is directed by national award winning director. now u decide

  • Indicine don’t allow cmnts of Somebody else cmnt from my name. The cmnt on first page is not me or my I’D.

    Instead of asking bigger grosser, more successful would hve been good .
    It’s obvious the bigger budget movie will do more nd open big but Doesn’t mean It will be more successful too .

    I pick in terms of more successful :-

    Fittor
    Great grand masti
    Azhar
    Housefull 3
    Rustom
    Raaes
    Ae Dil hai muskhil
    Dangal .

  • The reason mohanjodaro is looking to do more then rustom is the canvas nd budget of the movie mohanjodaro nd the director too

    . If hrithik would hve been in a movie like rustom nd akki in mohanjodaro then obvious still mohanjodaro would hve been first choice of public.

  • February 12: Fitoor (doubtful)
    February 19: Neerja ( surely)
    March 25: Rocky Handsome (doubtful)
    May 13: Mirziya (doubtful)
    June 5: Housefull 3 (surely)
    Eid 2016: Sultan (surely)
    August 12: Mohenjo Daro (doubtful)
    Diwali 2016: Shivaay (surely)
    Christmas 2016: Baahubali ( doubtful)

  • This is a wrong article completly.

    A big budget film will get far more screens nd shows,better buzz too but If a big budget movie does more then small budget film doesn’t mean the big budget movies is the winner . Small film can also be a winner even if it’s collection is below then other big film ..

    Son of sardar nd jthj.
    Both the films r eqyaequally successful. Even SOS Did less but still Ppl call it a winner because of less screen size release nd budget .. so it’s a wrong article.

  • just don’t wanna waste my time here…….i just wanna say RAEES all the way for the clash on eid…….look at the intensity look by our king…….it is sooooooo deadly dangerous……..and look at the other one….Hmmmmm have no act on it ……..i mean our beloved bhai …he has no expression what so ever……to be called an actor……..

  • February 12: Fitoor (doubtful)
    February 19: Neerja ( surely)
    March 25: Rocky Handsome (doubtful)
    May 13: Mirziya (doubtful)
    June 5: Housefull 3 (surely)
    Eid 2016: Sultan (surely)
    August 12: Mohenjo Daro (doubtful)
    Diwali 2016: Shivaay (surely)
    Christmas 2016: Baahubali ( surely)
    All The winner is my choice if they win I will b very happy all the best

  • as i had said earlier its a conspiracy avery well made plan 2 kepp hrithik qown ,his collections down salman has personally asked akshat and neeraj pandey 2 release their movie with hrithiks also 12 aug will have 3 release with herapheri 3 look how mighty hrithik is tat 2 films r clashing with mohenjo .just 2 dent the clashes 1st time in bolly history 3 films r clashing its very foolish on the part of directors ashutosh should release his movie some other day as solo release somebody should tell ashu …

  • Feb 12: sanam re
    Mar 25:Rocky Handsome
    May 13: Azhar
    Jun 5: Housefull 3
    Eid: Raees
    Aug 12: Mohenjo Daro
    Diwali: Shivaay
    Christmas: Bahubali 2

    1.It will be dependent on the content of sanam re anf fitoor. Tough fitoor has Katrina kaif sanam re has its music buzz and good trailer… so sanam re will get the advantage.
    2.Great grand masti will not make any hype beacuse of the same type of comedy… even grand masti lost it appeal than ‘Masti’. On the other hand Rocky handsome is the remake of famous korean film The man from no where and Jhon is back with his action which appeal a lot of audience. So here rocky handsome will get surely a hit.
    3. Azharuddin is very popular among the Indians tough his controversies. People want to know more. A film like Mirziya cant fight with this film.
    4. Housefull 3 already a hit because of star cast and content loved by people. On the other makes of jagga jasoos are not happy with the content. So houseful 3 will be a pure hit film.
    5. It will be the Greatest fight ever between Raees and Sultan. Salam khan is now in a little advantage over audience than SRK. but the good content of FAN(if it will) will surely draw a lot of audience. Opposite may happen.as a SRK fan i am going with Raees.
    6. Mohenjo Daro has already made a buzz. Hrithik is one of crowd puller after KHANs.and films like Rustom may not appeal . Hera pheri 3 has lost its appeal after changing cast like Akshay kumar.
    7. Its difficult to predict about Ae dil hai mushkil without knowing its content. But its director (Karan Jihar) cast(ranvir kapoor) may have a strong fight with Ajay devgan directed acted Shivaay.
    7. Bahubaali 2 is already a hit from the ending of Bahubaali 1. As a wonderful ending of Bahubaali 1 people will must see its sequel. On the other hand one man Aamir can beat anything before him. His acting movies always has a good content which produce a high word of mouth. But the film will not do well in the south because of Bahubaali. But it has also overseas advantage.

  • @baahubalimovie official handle on Instagram has confirmed Baahubali 2 release date as early 2017.
    Pongal is the biggest festival in South India and the makers are targeting a 13th January release. This means 3 week free run for Dangal. ?
    Baahubali 2 is way bigger than the 1st. VFX and post production will take a lot of time as 50% movie is still to be shot. And finally, Rajamouli and Aamir are BFFs, so no Baahubali won’t clash with Dangal.
    As far as the others go, Sultan will open bigger but content will decide the winner. Raees, I guess.
    Mohenjodaro and Shivaay would be the other winners.
    Kaabil would most probably release in November as only one film(Rock On2) is scheduled for November as of now.
