  • *.February 12: Fitoor (Reasons: Kiss scenes in valentine weekend, presence of katrina, good director, bad director of sanam re, only 1 ve point with sanam re is music…!
    *.March 25:Rocky Handsome(People are now fed up from adult comedy, john back in action genre, tease looking too good)
    *.May 13: Azhar biopic(Biopic, emraan looking good, on cricket)
    *.June 5: Housefull 3(no chance for jagga jasoos, superb first 2 parts, full of entertainment for family audience, akshay movie after airlift)
    *.Eid 2016: Sultan vs Raees (This is only clash which is difficult to choose…I m with Sultan in terms of opening and with Raees in terms of final collections..as no doubt todays salman power but still content wise raees is looking more powerful, good teaser, presence of nawaz 1st tym with srk, better director than sultan’s director)
    *.August: Mohenjo daro(Hrithik after 1year gap, hrithik with ashutosh, after success of bajirao and bahubali, no akshay in hera pheri 3, rustom; 3rd film of akshay this year
    *.Diwali 2016: Shivaay (many reason for it but still no reason to explain)
    *.Christmas 2016: BAHUBALI 2 (any day bahubali 2 going to be sure shot winner, cliche genner of dangal, amir khan contriversy hurt him, and more that its BAHUBALI 2nd part)

  • Sulthan vs Raees
    Dangal vs Bahubali 2
    Every traders can understand that very few can afford 2movies on festival as ticket price is high.
    One might overshadow the others in collection…but the Loss is for both..

  • Housefull is Akshays film hence he’s in it from first to 3rd, hf 1 was akki’s film since he had the author backed role, houseful 2 was perfect multistarrer but akki dominated John Abraham easily.

  • If Hera pheri releases than I fear for rustom, makers then hav to think of postponing the date. It doesn’t make sense why don’t Hera pheri makers move it to Christmas as 2 films can work in holiday, dilwale would of been a solid hit in india if srk didn’t sell it to sub distributors for high price. Still semi hit is good and bm also solid hit. In holiday no more than 2 films should be allowed to release.

  • #Raees.
    Raees will open better than sultan ( see all opening records, srk holds all of them; only the opening on a non holiday is held by dhoom 3)

    Raees Will be the winner in the clash, but i dont know if it will be the highest grossing ever, but if Dangal clashes with Bahubali 2 then Dangals business will be affected; and then RAEES will be the highest grossing of the year

    #RAESTHISEID

  • My winner list.
    1. Fitoor
    2. Nirjha
    3. House full 3
    4. Eid- Raees
    5. Mohenjo daro
    6. Diwali- shivay
    7. Chrostmas- DANGAL.

    Only dangal will be the biggest all time grosser and all time blockbuster. No chance for others.

  • @Salman Loltana, no one can beat Salman? That’s why ranbeer, akki, ajay, all defeated so called bhai in all clashes. Check out the history first you illiterate. He is just lucky that his movies get solo release. Let him clash once, we will see his real aukaat. PRDP was a shit and despite solo release in 5000 screens, failed to do well. He was lucky that prdp didng face a clash. Mark my words,he is fish without water if we remove eid, south remakes and masala genre from his recent career. Before 2010 where was the so called king of kings? Keep dreaming. Raees will beat badly to sultana and only content wins. Who are you to blabber that even with great content it wont beat sultana? Get some sleep first you illiterate. Raees will not only open big, but beat sultana by big margin.

  • @trooper, I notice everytime when you comment, none of your comments can be without taking the baap of everyone Aamir khan. That’s shoes your insecurity and how insecure you are. Aamir is not only baap of srk but everyone and you cant digest that dangal will easily shatter all records. No one can stop the tsunami called aamir. Bring it on whatever. Aamir is not srk who loses clash even against some small star like ranveer.

  • 1.Fitoor Vs Sanam Re…Look Like Fitoor,Content Decide Who Will B Winner.!
    2.Neerja Vs TBL….Without Any Doubt Its Neerja.!
    3.H3 Vs JJ……H3 Will B
    4.Raees Vs Sultan….After Raees’s Trailer,Look Like Raess,Waiting Bhai’s Trailer,Thn We Expect,Who Will B Winner.!
    5.MD Vs Rstm Vs HP3….MD Will B
    6.Shivaay Vs ADAM…Look Like Shivaay But Content Will Decide.
    7.Dangal Vs B2…Without Any Doubt B2…But Dangal Also Look Like 1st Bahubali :)

  • feb 12- fitoor

  • Most of the loongiwalas are chanting that both billu fan and rice smuggler are content rich movies. It seems they have already watched them in paglapur or bakrapur!!!!… LOL.

  • @Kaalia:
    And your queen has been struggling to give a 230cr grosser for years and he needs a few birth more to give a 230cr grosser.
    He has been also struggling to give a HGOTY since last eight years and will continue struggling until his death.

  • @romance:
    According to your predictions Bajrangi Bhaijaan was to collect less than 100cr and excusewale was to collect over 300cr. But the opposite happened. Now you are doing the same mistake by predicting 100cr for Sultan and 300cr rice smuggler. Again the opposite going to happen just like last year.

  • Srk has already declared that he cant dare to clash with Sultan and will postepone his rice smuggler chota don (#indicine makes an article on that). Still all the chosaa hua aam’s fans are chanting that rice smuggler will win the clash and blah blah. Get well soon morons!!!

  • RAEES WILL BE THE GAME CHANGER.YRF/ali abbas zafar will face biggest debacle in the name of sultana daku.for 2nd time salman will realise of taking his clash against THE KING OF BOLLYWOOD.

    I’m feeling pity towards those morons who is thinking sultanna daku will open higher than RAEES .it’ll happen only when RAEES will get too much lower screen ,even less lower screen too RAEES will beat crapiest sultana daku in opening because KING SRK any day bigger star than salman.

    even haters like @neeraj are still in hate with KING KHAN and want HIM to loose THIS CLASH even though KING KHAN is coming with CLASSIC and salman is coming with crapiest film.even DILWALE was better than prdp but this morons simply can’t ignore KING OF BOLLYWOOD because KING KHAN made his idol akshay/hrithik numerous time in CLASH.I love to see this moron in burning condition when RAEES will take the revenge of bm clash on sultana daku.

    RAEES IS THE MASATERPIECE ,I want IT badly to clash against sultana daku and KING OF CLASH WILL AGAIN WILL PROUDLY TAKE HIS POSITION though in last clash too HE won THE BATTLE IN WORLDWIDE+OPENING.

  • i think Dangal vs Bahubali 2 is the biggest clash of 2016 unpredictable clash if dangal script will be good dangal will win if dangal script bad bahaubali will win

  • @romance:
    @chain smoker:
    Ali Abbas has made 2 movies so far and both of them are box office hits. While Rahul dholakia yet to give a clean hit despite getting rave response from critics.
    Salman>>>>>choosa hua aam.
    Ali Abbas>>>>Rahul dholakia.
    Hence, Sultan>>>>rice smuggler in any case…!!!

  • Those who do not want to read..then no problem..do whatever ..u want to do ..I don’t care..

    But I want that maximum salman fan should read this.

    SULTAN VS RAEES

    This is the biggest boxoffice clash of Indian history…

    So in Sultan va raees: sultan will win…no chance for ricewala ……
    .many reasons like in raees mahira Khan is actress..so again protest will going to takes place..specially in Maharashtra.which is backbone of box-office collection.
    .n his opponent megastar salman will get benefit specially in single screen..lots of negativity will going to be spread against srk ..
    because of intolerance issue n also raess content is based on alcohol smuggling
    ( I wish protest does not occur..because. I doesnt belong to this idiotic mindset.. I m Indian…n also I want fair battle..so that srk fans will not be able to give any excuse..which I m sure ..they will create..after all they are excusewale..we all remember how they have given excuse ..like protest..

    So..
    In round 1 of sultan vs raess battle (opening day n weekend ) ..sultan will win both according to box office n producers figure ..

    N those who r thinking that raess will have higher collection because raees is based on Muslim background..then

    Let me remind you that..60% of salmans die hard fan base is Muslim people..this will negotiate that Muslim background factor of raees..

    Also there can be a scenario like sultan will have higher collection than raess according to box office..but according to producer figure raess will have higher collection (.only if red chilli calculator will be used for manipulation) …we all know how it was used in manipulating happy new year opening day figure..

    But still we dont have to worry..because to negotiate ..red chilly calculator for manipulation …we will have sharukhs. Godfather company ..India’s biggest production house..YRF..so ..they can used yrf calculator ..only if required..

    In round 2 of sultan vs raees battle
    ( lifetime collection..both according to box office n producer figure)..

    Chances are like…

    Sultan – 70%
    Raees- 30%

    We all know that ..lifetime collection depend upon content..

    So better content will win..n I m a sure sultan wil have good content.. Raess can have also good content..but in collection wise..it will be behind sultan..

    I have never seen..salman working so much hard..for any of his film..

    Sultan team has advantage that..raess 90% shooting is complete n sultan has half of its shooting left..
    they know that in clash..better content will win..so if medorcrity will have ..then they will definitely try to minimize..as much as possible..

    N also in today’s time
    salman is at peak of his stardom..so sultan needs ..60% good content..rest salman will manage..

    All salman haters thinks that raees will have good content because of its director rahul dholakia.is a class director .n also he is national award winner..

    then let me remind you that shandaar film director …was also a class director..his last film before shandaar was ..kangana starrer ‘Queen’

    So there is no guarantee that….class director ..every film be box office success…

    Few examples are ..queen n shandar.
    Also
    Kabir Khan: bajrangi bhaijaan then his next ..film. Phantom..

    It is not that..phantom was a bad film..but it lacks commercial material ..like bajragi bhaijaan..

    So even if raess will have good content..but still it will be behind sultan collection wise …because ..this time sultan will also have good commercial content..

    N ..salman haters thinks that sultan director..ali Abbas jafar will direct a crap film..then one thing I want to tell you that..

    He is also working very hard..even more than salman ..he is also doing lots of training n documentary workshops.

    Ali Abbas jafar..knows that..this is his life’s biggest film..n salmans reputation is in his n sultan teams hand…because of clash..

    in previous clash..salman was not serious ..but this time he is taking clash very seriously..so by chance ..if film will be bad..
    ( less chance that it will be crap)

    Then ..salman will have not so much problem…but it will effect ..Ali Abbas jafar badly..all Bollywood lovers will have eye on him..

    So salman haters..better watchout…

  • Why are you underestimating Raees. Agreed Salman is flying high will definitely have a slight lead on open day probably even lifetime but Raees will fight all its way to the end. It’s Shah rukh khan for Godsake! Only he can challenge Salman based on current box office power#### On books it Sultan but please Raees has a very big chance to stun box office.
    Sultan.. Bigger grosser. Raees will bring back Shah rukh khan we have known. I am okay with a Super hit blockbuster tag even if it grosses lower than Sultan.

    If I was Akshay sir after brilliant performance with airlift I would not release any movie after Houseful 3. with that he can easily break into top 4 challenging Hrithik. Unfortunately everyone knows money will overpower strategy. Give Akshay we 5 more movies he will do them all. His fans find it cool We that knows his quality find it crazy and lalchi and pretending to be naive. Unthinkable not to think Mohenjo daro will not hit the final nail on Rustam coffin. Arguably Mohenjo daro should be the Hgoty fighting with Sultan and Bahubali.

    Ranbir has a huge fanbase within the youths in India. He has all the quality to become a superstar. Young handsome wealthy I love his movies except some recent flop barring tamasha which I enjoyed and with Kjo Ash and Anuksha Adhm can hit beat but there is a problem. It’s Ajay Devgn a master class when he is in his mood. After Srk Ajay is the next clash specialists. You know what it means for Akshay kumar twice to postpone his movie to avoid clashing with Ajay since action replay His confidence level is always high. Shivaay is about lord shiva Ajay plays the role of a ex convict released to wipe away some dirts in the society. High budget high octane action scenes from best stunt director in Hollywood foreign starcasts is just a toss. Shivaay for me.

    Dangal and Bahubali 2 Can’t say anything more than sorry Aamir., 2016 again is a year for Salman and a welcome back stage for Shah rukh. Inspire of a good storyline the fact a wrestling movie was earlier released Sultan will for sure dent the collection of Dangal very sure of that. Bahubali 2 is one of the most anticipated movie in the world not only in India. Only saving grace shall be Bahubali 2 be released Jan 2017 if not nothing for Aamir and that intolerance statement might create little jitters.

    My final prediction for Hgoty
    Mohenjo daro with clash
    Sultan with.clash
    Raees with clash
    Shivaa with clash
    Bahubali 2 hindi version.

  • If rice smuggler clashes with Sultan then srk will have to retire from Bollywood and will do MUJRA only in wedding parties…
