  • Diwali 2013 – Krrish 3 (Hrithik Roshan, Priyanka Chopra, Vivek Oberoi)
  • Christmas 2013 – Dhoom 3 (Aamir Khan, Katrina Kaif, Abhishek Bachchan, Uday Chopra)

In 2012, every holiday / festival release has crossed the 100 crore mark - Agneepath (Republic Day), Ek Tha Tiger (EID), Rowdy Rathore (Post-IPL), Jab Tak Hai Jaan and Son Of Sardaar (Diwali) have all gone on to be huge grossers. With 65 crores in 3 days, Dabangg 2 is also likely to join the club this week.

No surprise then that the lucrative holiday period has already been taken, almost a year in advance!

Ironically, two superstars Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan are left with no holidays. In the last 3 years, Salman has always ensured that he arrives with an action film during EID. However, in 2013, Balaji Motion Pictures have announced their plans to release their ambitious sequel ‘Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Again’ on August 8th. Will there be a clash? If Salman announces his film for EID, will Balaji back out?

When will SRK release his two films – Chennai Express and Happy New Year? Recently, Farah Khan said she was keen on releasing ‘HNY’ during Christmas.. how about Dhoom 3 vs Happy New Year?

Exciting times ahead. Like always, keep visiting Indicine for all the updates!

For now, vote for the most awaited Holiday release of 2013!

  • @chulbul it doesn’t matter even if he has 1000 blocbuster at the end of the day he hasnt achieve anything as an actor despite working for more than 2 decades.

  • X zone tel ur Srk to clash with salman then see the star power . . With Ajay itself didnt survived it think Wht would hppn with salman

  • King if u dnt have any words to come out with salman star power then pls dnt talk abt actin there are enough smal star better than Srk

  • @king of kings: how much people love that’s important you may witness recent time when salman movie release people are dancing on street, in cinema hall it was happen at time of BIG-B now with salman that’s call stardom.

  • Dabangg 2 held up very strongly on Monday as it collected around 12 crore nett. It is the highest non holiday Monday of all time beating the previous record holder which was the first Dabangg released in 2010. Dabangg had collected 10.75 crore nett on Monday.

    The highest Monday till date is Ek Tha Tiger at 19 crore nett but that was on a holiday for Eid. The four day total for Dabangg 2 is over 70 crore nett and a big Tuesday is expected as it is holiday for Christmas. For comparison Ek Tha Tiger was 72 crore nett after four days.

    The business from Wednesday onwards and second weekend which will tell where the film is going. Around 150 crore nett looks assured on a worst case scenario and time will tell how much higher it goes.

    report from BOI.

  • @chulbul it doesn’t matter what you or I think at the end of the day records are going to say Srk is most successful actor in indian history. Just see what people say if srk wins 1 more filmfare award he is going to be inducted in Guiness book now that is an achievement for me. 1000 blockbusters can’t mach that kind of achievement and mind you I’m not even sek fan but those are facts
