  • Akshay is non holiday king. He will be the 2nd biggest superstar of bollywood after 2017 END. That’s my believe.

    Akshay -Salman khan have faced lot of criticism for their acting in the past ,but salman is already no.1 and after 2017 Akshay will join him on 2nd position…!

  • Good that ajay is booking festivals now, he may have never got solo festival and even in 2017 someone will come to clash,but that’s OK Atleast it will give confidence to other young or least popular stars to book festivals…!

  • In this chart we can see only salman khan movie looking intersting..!
    Padmavaati will never face with salman khan movie..!!

  • @Disaster kumar if you will take idiotic desicions to release movies like blue, TMK on festivals instead of rowdy rathore, housefull 2, Holiday than obviously it will turned to be flop. Openings matters the most And blue, TMK opened to record breaking occupancies…! You can check

  • @indicine why did you put Amitabh bachchan’s name befire the numero uno megastar Aamir khan? Where does Amit ji stand today? He is old and his time is over way long back. Its aamir’s movie and whatever TOH will earn, all credits will go to Aamir. We all saw wajir,shamitabh, aarakshan, satyagrah and many other Amit ji’s recent movies’ fate. Aamir on the other hand is ruling box office like no one and he is the biggest megastar of bollywood. Shame on you. Put aamir’s name before Amit ji.

  • @ Tamed Tigress,

    We don’t need our idol to release his films on EDX (Soft Zone), AUQAAT to Lallu ki tab dikhti hai jab wo EDX ke bagair Khud Apni film release karta hai…

    You don’t worry about Any other superstar and keep praying for Your Lallu so that he can get timely Eid dates as solo to exist in the industry…

    And Ya, I forgot to tell You, Eid Ya Diwali Ya Xmas, Salmoron kabhi bhi aayega, Collections Akki ke zyaada honge…

    Ab Tu bolega, Akki does more films?

    Answer – WHO STOPPED YOUR NON ACTOR TO RELEASE HIS CRAPS MORE THAN ONE IN A YEAR (EID)?

    Coz, EID MADE STAR OR COWARD KHAN AUR AUQATless Non Actor knows that he is finished without Eid…

  • @Dislexia Kumar,
    Yes u heard it right your name should be dislexia kumar because u r the 1 suffering from it.
    May God bless u & hope that u become normal as soon as possible.
    Now on a serious note,
    We Akkians never cry for festivals as our star doesn’t need it.I know that he doesn’t have big 150 – 200cr grossers and he even doesn’t need that since his movies earns almost that kind of amount on non festivals easily (leaving some of them which had very mixed or negative WOM).And u loggerhead if u blame him for low grossers than tell me how much FAN earned,how much Jai Ho earned,Ok leaving all of these than tell me how MJD earned.All of them on non EDX date
    I hope u got the answer…
    @Indicine,please moderate my comment as soon as possible.

  • There wont be any clash btwn Salman and Ranveer.
    2017 will be an amaizing year,considering all big stars have huge films coming,who will have HGOYT? Reminds me of 2012 when Salman also had 2 releases and both of then ended up being 1 and 2 HGOTY.

  • SRK must must must must must listen to his fans now. Book Deepawali 2017 for “The Ring”. Please listen to your fans this time. Just dont let go Deepawali 2017. Its a very very very humble request.
    He is disappointing his fans.

  • @chustom funny makkiholic

    yes,it wil giv confidence to young and popular stars…but not 2 makkishay after the worst festival perfrmr calld Tmk

  • booking two of the three festivals in a year is like almost unfair to other films…..

    Salman did it in 2015 booking Eid and Diwali and is again going to repeat it in 2017 with Eid and Christmas!!!

  • #rubal
    I don’t want to bash Aamir ! If u want to say aamir is no 1 blah blah u can say in differnt manner don’t consider salman name ..! Thats it !

  • People fight over festive release dates. Salman doesn’t need to do it. He will just come and announce his films, others will back out. Simple.
    Raees was announced first for Eid 2016. But Salman came and seized the period from the so-called festive period. That’s called Big Daddy.
    Eid 2018 period is unconfirmed yet. Yet nobody dares to announce film during the period.
    If anybody does announce a film for it, something like 2016 Eid will occur again.

    Because it is understood that Eid belongs to Salman by default.

  • As of now, Padmavati is up against TZH. But I do believe SLB will back out as SLB is intelligent enough to understand that it is Salman whom he will clash against and is NO SRK.
    Even if SLB clash, we won’t bash him and his stars of Padmavati. We will happy to clash with it and with a result of 200Crores for TZH.

  • @ disaster kumar…love u Bro. …love ur comments. …

    ….we don’t need big grossers like 150 or 200 cr….hahaha. …grapes are sour…..u know what I mean…lol….

  • SRK is not greedy for holiday releases.he have guts to release his films any time.difference between megastardom and tinystardom .!!!!

  • It is era of salman khan of mega stardom. Salman is choice of movie is perfect content character driven with emotional connect with audience with X factor of his unmatched charisma. Two blockbuster of 2017 on the way Rip padmavati or Raju hirani next.

  • @tigress-the real bhagoda,don’t worry bhansali will not shift from CHRISTMAS 2017,and lallu’s career will be over after tiger chuha hai becomes disaster,rofl.

    Aur andhi hogayi kya?CHRISTMAS 2018 already reserved by KING KHAN.2017 release is depending on movie completion and according to that release of KING KHAN’S MOVIE is going to happen.

  • Next year there will be clash between srk’s the ring and golmaal-4 on diwali. Likh ke lelo! Srk will be back on his favourite diwali weekend and will thrash flop ajay devgn
