Christmas 2014 clash: Welcome Back to release a week before PK

The release date of Anees Bazmee’s Welcome Back is fixed on December 19, 2014. The sequel to the comic hit, Welcome, released in 2007, has John Abraham and Shruti Haasan as the lead stars. Nana Patekar, Anil Kapoor, Naseeruddin Shah, Paresh Rawal, Ankita Srivastava, Shiney Ahuja, and Dimple Kapadia are the other stars in the film produced by Firoz A Nadiadwala.

The producer has said that since Welcome was released during Christmas, and given a big welcome by the family audiences, the date has proven lucky for the unit and they are trying to bring back the magic again. He also added that the Christmas week had always been good on films generally, and it ensured good audience turn up.

With the year’s most anticipated film Aamir Khan’s film P.K, directed by Rajkumar Hirani, also scheduled to release during Christmas, the director had been worried about a probable clash in dates.

But now with ‘Welcome Back’ scheduled to release a week before Christmas, the makers are hoping that the clash is avoided and they get one open week at the box office.

However, both the makers of P.K and the third Christmas release Bombay Velvet are yet to announce a date for their film. What this means is, P.K could well release on December 19th, just like Yash Raj Films’ Dhoom 3 which released on December 20 last year

  • @nipun SRK already beat ajay twice in clashes including one with Ajay + Salman+ Sanjay then another with Ajay + BigB + Kareena + Arjun + Director of Raajneeti…………….he also beat kid ranbir + Rani + Salman in Sawwariya and he beat Salman + Akshay in Janneman……………which means he has proved his stardom…………………………lets see Hrithik’s Bnag Bang clash with Ajay’s Action Jackson, this will be more interesting and fun clash becuz we will relly get to test the stardom of Hrithik (who I like)……………………….

  • till now dont understand why they John replaced akshey i mean John Abraham is not that kind of actors r good for comedy,we seenn him before films like Gram Masala

  • hahahaha look at srk haters… Loosers the topic is about welcome back and pk … And they are feeling scared of hny here hahaha … srk haters aka aamir khan fans are loosers big time loosers there are no hritik fans here just aamir fans in disguise … Trying to fool indicine …

  • @nipun that’s the reason why you’re always targeted by SRK fans unnecessarily,you could have said those films could clash with kick,but after CE not a bit actor/producer are not ready to release against KING OF CLASH SRK.this time amir couldn’t rescue from clash however salman will get this very soon.

    these are the top 5 earned movies of the year:

    1.HNY:because it’s the most awaited movie of the year voted by PEOPLES,also starred by KING OF ACTING & KING of bollywood,the actor who delivers blockbusters in few years of gap through out the career having highest success carried actor who RULED his generation single handedly,also starred by marvelous actors and marvelous enteratinment director of bollywood.

    2.welcome back:due to it’s previous status and directed by anees bazmi and starred by macho man.

    3.kick:due to it’s a south blockbuster remake also it starred by decade bb delivering star/2nd highest flop giving actor,due to single big holiday release will only help after jai ho couldn’t got at least hit status.

    4.bang bang:although it will get clash hope Indians might show something new starred by best dancer.

    5.singham2:due to Rohit Shetty’s popularity after CE,also due to single release although it starred by useless actors/3rd highest flop giving actor.

    6.holiday:due to directed by a giant successful south remake director starred by comedy more,,action less star/highest flop giving actor

    7.p.k: due to blockbuter director Raju Hirani,but story seems very weak like talaash something against relegion kind of controversial movie,lead star played character that not sure about gender or starred by the least blockbuster giving actor/decade blockbuster delivering actor,hope anushka,Raju could save the film from flop.also hope amir’s career could extend a bit more than ranveer/ranvir/ajay’s career.

  • Sirr !! @indicine when r u going to declare it as all time blockbuster as verdict on its profilee and update aamirs profile with 4 ATBBs !! ??

  • Bombay Velvet will in all likelyhood be preponed and will release in November. It should be noted that November this year hardly has any movies scheduled which traditionally is packed by films

    As for welcome back clashing with P.K , its a very gutsy decision. But if P.K decides to release on 19th dec as well, then Welcome Back will probably be postponed or suffer big time

  • to all actor’s fan it’s a a confirmed news,bombay velvet’s release date still not decided yet.it seems anurag will not step back as his own friend taken action against him,so there will be a definite calsh on 25th december and welcome back will release on 19th december.

    whoever excited about HNY clash,but there is no clash for HNY,as action jackson fixed in oct 2014 by prabhu deva,but the real thing is ajay don’t want a clash anymore against KING KHAN,why it’s he knows and also you all know better.

    to all who are making fun of KING KHAN’s film in 2012 and 2013’s clash,now get ready for clash,now you’ll understand how it is too difficult to earn at least 100cr with a clash.
