  • Lots of readers not feeling comfortable.
    @Rustom or Jolly hard luck. Yes he is clashing with Kjo not ranbir because e everybody is busy comparing Kjo stats with Ajay not Ranbir.
    Well only Kjo can dare to clash with him. We saw what happened when Akshay clashed with him twice and you are busy giving us opening and not end of story for blue(naughty boy) and then what happened with AR? He clashed with Srk too on Diwali and know what happened. Next year it has to be either Rajnikant or Amitabh Bhachchan. Are they youngsters?

  • padmavati will give tough competition to TZH. i seriously believe young crop of actors start daring non actor to build their stardom. Looking at taklu it seems he can hardly survive in the industry for another two years before starting to depend fully on body double like another greedy rajnikanta. like in cricket we remove old ones with younger player looking at the next world cup. here in bolly before it goes into starless industry ranbir,ranveer,varun,arjun etc sould buckle of by clashing and destroying lallus and lullas

  • @rowdy rathore ranbir earn 190 cr. On post ipl and akki is getting post -ipl every year but he fails to cross even 140 cr. even “holiday” has a very positive wom with universal appeal ,its imdb rating is above 8.0 but he can’t cross twmr

  • eid 2018- salman will have a release.. as simple as that.. the trade knows it.. no need to even discuss or contemplate anything.. its salman’s territory! everyone from bollywood n trade knows it.. so nobody is not even thinking of releasing a movie on eid.. its just a matter of which movie

  • @jolly @rowdy akki is non-holiday king right?
    He is releasing his one movie in republic day ,where john has crossed 100 cr. Hrithik has crossed 120 cr. In 2012(its adjusted net is more than airlift) and salman gives 100 cr.+ movie so whats the big deal if airlift crosses do 125 cr. With a very +ve wom ………………
    He is releasing one movie in post ipl ,where kangana & ranbir gives 175 + movies ,so whats the big deal he is giving 110 cr. In that period with an awesome movie like holiday(mass+ class) …………
    He released one movie previous year in gandhi jayanti and hrithik in 2014 ,you know the result while both movies had universal appeal and both get same reviews(-ve) ,okay u will say bang bang got more holidays but 2 holidays doesn’t make a difference of 80- 100 cr.
    Akki is giving flop on EDX ,releasing his movies on holiday(not festives) but he is non-holiday king .Wow..
    ……….
    Hrithik had given a superhit on pure non holiday i.e. znmd, not post ipl where there is enough summer holidays (clashing with harry porter’s last part ,which had a great buzz and did good busines in india)
    Had akki given any superhit on non-holiday (not post-ipl as it’s a good period)
    And lets not talk about overseas lol.

  • Disaster
    akki dont need festivals….
    khans have 200cr 300cr …
    but still producers plays more bet on akki..
    Please say hr to release 4 film a year ….
    according to trade only khans have crossed 200 cr that to on a festival but hr also released on festival still did not crossed 200 cr …….
    film becames blockbuster atb because of content wom not because of stardom……..
    TMK semi hit extremely negative wom
    JA semi hit extremely postive wom
    .

  • Akshay kumar highest opening —–> 18 crore (singh is bling)
    Ranbir kapoor highest opening ——> 20 crore (besharam) ,while both movie released on 2nd october ?????
    ………. oh sorry he is a non-holiday king he don’t give good opening on holiday .
    But his highest op. On non- holiday —–> 15 cr. (Houseful 3)
    Ranbir’s highest opening on non- holiday —–> 19 cr. (YJHD) ,while both released on post- ipl and h3 was a sequel but he again fails to cross ranbir ????
    Opening me to wom ka excuse bhi ni de sakte ??

  • @Truth. They know they can’t compete as simple as that. When last you heard Akshay releasing his movies with the bigger leads on big dates? After G3 and CE you still advice him to go for dates meant for bigger superstars? Just leave him with republic and smaller holidays he is very good in that aspect.

  • @disaster Kumar
    are u insane? 3 non holiday 100 grossers in single year. .ask ur khans to do it. haan yes if they do it will be fan2..talash for holiday.
    jaiedx…rowdy rathore crashed all ur non holiday collection from khans. ..akkians r loyal dont irk us..damage will be urs

  • @unmatchable akki because of fans like you akki get bashed by other stars fan… Now who is stopping akki to release his movie on holidays and it’s not that he hadn’t done it in past but the results are everyone to see(Tees Maar Khan, Blue, Sib, action replay).. Now akki has got a new strategy instead of releasing his movie in holidays with clash he simply releases it in non holidays without clash(Rustom is exeption) and so far it worked. Now coming to to Box office collection Ready and Jai ho are non holidays release with collections above 100 crore…In fact Ready is a blockbuster…
    P. S.. Am not a akki hater

  • @akki-sk-rk
    In 2013 – s26 (61) +ouatimd (58) +boss (54) <<<<<<<< krrish 3 (244 cr.) even less than 190 cr. (Trade fig. Inc. South india coll.)
    …………
    In 2014 ,holiday (110) + entertaiment(65) <<<<<<< bang bang 181 cr.
    So HR doesn't need to do 4 movies per year ,make one or two movies per year but make them awesome
    ………..
    He does 3 movies in 2012 ,but will it make any difference if he ignore joker (whose lifetime was less than agneepath 1st day)
    and do just 2 movies ???? Answer is 'no'

  • 2016 diwali belongs to ajay devgn sir@shivaay and 2017 diwali will belong to gopal@golmaal4@ajay devgn sir………baadshaho @ajay devgn sir will rule the non holidays of 2017……

  • Many haters Troll Salman Khan for his acting skills & he trolls them back with his movie’s box office collection Box office king

  • Irony is that, some actors who fonally started crossing 100 cr properly afyer choosing back to back patriotic movies and wasted biggest festivals like christmas with epic disasters like tees maar khan are talking about that superstar who has 100 % success on big festivals. Get it in your head you gobar fan @Jolly Makkhi Chakkihorlics. Your floppy couldny give even face saving opening on gandhi jayanti and talking about ajay? Shivaay’s buzz is way bigger than floppy clown’s 3 craps released this year.

  • Irony is that, fans of a certain actor who finally started crossing 100 cr properly after choosing back to back patriotic movies and wasted biggest festivals like christmas with epic disasters like tees maar khan are talking about that superstar who has 100 % success on big festivals. Get it in your head you gobar fan @Jolly Makkhi Chakkiholic. Your floppy couldn’t give even face saving opening on gandhi jayanti and talking about ajay? Shivaay’s buzz is way bigger than floppy clown’s 3 craps released this year.

  • Salman khan (read as Megastar) booking holidays is like a phd scholar trying to not fail in school exams.
    Common man if you are that great then why book lucrative holidays?

  • @unmatchable makki

    Did I say a single word against jokerboy here??? Even I have been openly praising Rustam (Bcz Bhai promoted it). Still you namakharam people are blabbering nonsenses on Bhai. EHSAAN FARAMOSH kahika!!

    Ye Jo tu EDX release EDX chilla raha hai naa…FYI your AUKAATless gobar had also released his movies on Deewali & Xmas. But the results were same 60cr collections…

    What! Whenever Bhai comes your makki’s collections will be more! Abey gobarpurian, in last 7 years (this decade) Bhai topped 5 times while ur makki topped Bhai only for 2 years (2012 & 2016). Kuch pata bhi hai kya box office k baare mein???… LOL.

    Read the very first sentence of the article again…. There was ckearly written “The biggest superstars in the industry will always get the biggest festive weekends.” Hope it clears all the doubts regarding your jokerboy’s stardom..

  • Listen all the jokers including ‘@EmptyBrainZone and Bhade Ke ? Bicycle Mekanik @sss’ranting about the festive releases of Salman Khan, you are blatantly ignoring a universally known fact that in this decade — i.e. from 2011 up until today — your kingu is the one who has consistently released his films on Diwali, XMas and Eid. And you point out your dirty fingers at Salman’s festive releases? LOL, a bunch of failed comedians!

    Of 7 films he has done, your kingu has released only one film outside festive periods i.e. FAN (that also had two partial holidays and a well-received trailer in its favor), which flopped badly. Where was the star power of the biggest global star then? He even lost to an outsider kid Mowgli (WHO should be nothing before the GLOBAL star) at his home ground. Forget about the new kid in BM, who had badly thrashed the biggest global star. Kyun, Mirchi lagi now?

    [But here, I certainly sense that you will certainly come up with your typical silly excuse for Phanka’s failure. That is it flopped because it was an off-beat film. So, let me explain that too.

    CM’on jokers, he is the biggest global superstar. How come his off-beat films should also fail badly? Lol
    Before the release, you would applaud it to be content rich, for it’s class director, for YRF banner, for its well-received trailer and for his dedication to his fans. You would tip it to be a super hit or a BB. When flopped, suddenly call it an off-beat film? ROFL! Masters of excuses!

    Well, FAN is no way an off-beat film. It was a commercial film, although not a very massy film! Indicine has, too, again and again said it. It has actions, romance, dialogue baazi, drama, foreign locations etc…..

    Shooting actions stylishly in foreign locations do not make a film OFF-BEAT. Not having SONGS do not make a film OFF-BEAT. Bollywood songs are about romance. The makers saw no room to put any songs in the film, unless Aryan and Gauravv were coupled/ pitted with each other for songs romancing each other. LOL

    If you still call it an off-beat film, we would call ETT an off-beat film with songs.

    The theme of FAN is a mainstream tried and tested concept of a relationship between a superstar and a fan albeit presented in a different way.

    In spite of the so-called negative factors or being an off-beat fan. FAN should have at least been a hit because he is the biggest global star with 3.7 Billion fans worldwide. C’mon, say it!
    Those billion of fans would have watched FAN, no? Warna Woh Kaise Global Star Hua, the grandson of Einstein? Or all those are fans just written on Tissue Papers? Ha ha ha]

    At least, Salman has released two films outside the festive periods in the similar span of time: Ready (Blockbuster) and Jai Ho (one holiday advantage it had also fell on Sunday) (above average or semi hit). Now, you compare. Or take some burnols!

    The difference between Salman Khan and your kingu is that Salman successfully utilizes all these festive periods and earns Blockbusters to their maximum potentials, while your kingu totally wastes the golden periods for Hindi cinema mostly with mere hits or semi hits (that too controversial). Harsh truth, isn’t it? Swallow it although it’s bitter.
    ******************

    “”We Wish Both Films in XMas 2017 All the Best””

    Oh poor & jealous souls, despite that your kingu has blocked a festive date in a distant future like XMas 2018, you are ranting for booking a release date in 2017? Shame on you!

    And yes, SLB might not clash with Salman Khan for certainly he is intelligent enough to know that Salman Khan is no SRK who is just the biggest global star on paper; or just in paid interviews or news headlines. Salman Khan is a real deal!

    Even if SLB goes for a clash between Padmavati and Tiger Zinda Hai (TZH), we are not insecure and afraid of it as we are a confident fan base. Nor will we call for destruction of SLB and bringing SLB on roads, unlike you shameless did during December 2015. We will pray all the best for the SLB film, too.

    The difference will be just that TZH could earn over 300 Crores in a solo release, while with a clash, we expect it to earn just over 200 Crores. That’s it. Now, take this pill and pray that you get over from being psychopaths!!!

  • What the hell srk is doingggg dnt know his strategy???..and how come this no 7 star ajay getting festive releases??? other than khans i think hr and akshay is most deserving stars to get festive season…

  • @atif ha ha ha, 57 cr disaster dene waale jadoo boy ke fan, or highest 60 cr-80 cr flops movies dene waale gobar fan, if ajay is no.7 star than your gobar and tiktik are not even in top 20. They should be kicked out from bolllywood. Ajay is baap of both media hyped loser wannabe stars in stardom and acting. Shivaay’s buzz is far more than mohen ja daroo le ke aa and chustom combined. So shut up. When your tiktik and gobar were giving disasters like kites, guzaarish, action replay, TMK, blue, ajay was the one who entered 100 cr club and only 3rd superstar to enter 100 cr club. Shivaay will easily thrash jadoo boy’s manipulated krrish 3 and joker boy’s crappy rathore even with clash. Now get lost tiny stars fan.

  • @5.28 Atif no.7 getting big festive because he is song the biggest superstars and has 100% success on festive periods even with clashes so trade distributors producers knows their distributors share is very well calculated in huge numbers esp total net gross so he is honoured to have the biggest dates. Just look at the names and quote by @indicine. It’s simple like abcd. Do you need tissue paper to clean your tears. Get loss and wait for your time toddler fan. Akki should wait for his time he is still regarded as a patriotism thriller suspense character actor Fact!! You saw how his masala and intense socio movies have been dumped at box office. Exhibitors wants maximum pay so they know who they give signal to too get their slots. These fake id Akki users are disgusting and cowards. Can’t bear not seeing his name under a bold huge and fact comment heading given by indicine. Let me give you a tip. Sos is realising on …? Jealous morons . Assesses Ouchhhh
