‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’: SRK averts clash, gives the film a quirky title

In what is being seen as a smart move, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has partially averted the much-hyped clash between his film, which has now been titled ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ and Akshay Kumar’s next ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’.

The move to release ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ a week earlier than it was previously scheduled is a confident one, because the content of the film has to be good for it to take advantage of the ‘Independence Day’ holiday on August 15.

But like ‘Kaabil’ earlier this year, ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’ too could prepone its date, to take advantage of the Raksha Bandhan on August 8. Otherwise, ‘Toilet Ek Prem Katha’ faces the risk of a ‘Chennai Express’ vs ‘Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobara’ like situation – if ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ turns out to be a good film and finds acceptance.

The title itself – Jab Harry Met Sejal – is a quirky one that could remind the audience of Imtiaz Ali’s career-best film ‘Jab We Met’. It’s also the title that was eventually the picked after the working title ‘The Ring’ and the rumoured ones ‘Rehnuma’ and ‘Raula’.

Also starring Anushka Sharma as the female lead, ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ is Shah Rukh Khan’s second release of 2017.

The posters are fantastic, colourful and full of energy.

  • Now this SRK-Imtiaz project will earn big at the box-office. SRK haters must be frustrated bcoz this movie will now earn 30-50 cr more than what it would collect in clash. 160 crore is the minimum it will collect and there is a chance of 200 cr if content is good.

  • So finally Biggest Chor of Bollywood is Back……Again he shamelessly stole the title from Hollywood movie “When Harry Meet Sally”……..Don’t be shock if they copy story also that too without giving credit to its original owner…..

    Isliye Kehte hai ki “Kismat Badi Kutti Cheez hoti hai”……..Few days back Srk fans bashing Salman for similarity with Hollywood movie though Salman give full credit to original movie and buy the rights of movie, but look now Srk copy the title of movie…..HaHaHa

  • Shame on oldie Dadaji SRK!!

    Anyways
    How HRITIK is a bigger star than Akki

    Often we hear questions like who is bigger star between Hritik and Akki. I will show you now.
    Few notes:
    1. HOLIDAY RELEASES
    Hritik has only two festive releases-Mission Kashmir and Krishh-3. He made his debut 9 years after Akki. Akki on other hands has most no. of holiday releases-Suhaag, Garam Masala, Jaaneman, Action Replay, Saput,Blue, Aitraaz were all Deewali releases whereas TMK, Ab Tumhare Hawale Watan Sathi ho, Hum Hai Bemishaal were Christmas releases.

    2.2015 clash
    The clash between Rustom And Mohenjo Daro cant decide who the bigger is. Buddha mar gaya won Marigold in clash. Anthony Kaun Hai opened 3 times more than Shaadi karke phas gaya yaar. So are Rakhi Sawant and Arshad Warshi bigger stars than Salman?? Akki has lost clashes against Ajay Devgn and Saif Ali Khan. Are Ajay and Saif bigger than Akki?

    Lets have a brief comparison
    *Highest grosser of the year
    Hritik-3 domestically, 4 worldwide(including K3G)
    Akki-0 domestically, 0 worldwide

    *No. Of Blockbusters
    Hritik-5(KNPH, K3G, Dhoom-2, Krissh, Krissh-3)
    Akki-2(1 was in 1994, 6 yrs before Hritik’s debut)

    *All time Highest grosser
    Hritik-1 domestically(Dhoom-2) and worldwide
    Akki-0

    *Record openers
    Hritik-5(Mission Kashmir, K3G, Dhoom2, Krissh and Agneepath)-4 solo
    Akki-2

    *2cr+ footfalls
    Hritik-4(KNPH, Dhoom-2, K3G, Krishh-3)
    Akki-1

    *3cr+ffs
    Hritik-2(KNPH, K3G)
    Akki-0

    *Highest opening in national Holiday
    Hritik-20cr +
    Akki-17cr(Singhh is Bling)

    So Hritik is always a bigger star than Akki.

  • Now again Srk run away from his date and this time he scared from Akki…..Duniya Ka Biggest Star….LOL

    His fans can give any excuse that its good for business or so, but my question is why Srk shift, why not Akki move his movie…..Well everyone knows why…….Atleast Salman never run away from any clash even in his bad phase……

  • Shame on Self Proclaimed King… Don’t have guts to clash even with Akki…. another Flop like Fan for Srk..

  • The title is good, it may give the flavor of Jab we met…Something good is coming #Srk
    #big_fan
    #fan_from_Bangladesh…..

  • Toilet ek prem katha looks more interesting from posters it has that jolly llb vibe and this one is looking just like imtiaz ither movies like tamasha love aajkal and jab we met what the hell this director doesn’t know anything else. And we are fed up of srk anushka pair they look like brother sister now instead of a couple. Deepika would could have been a better choice and also because of her srk could have passed 150 crore like in the past.

  • So this is how Srk won all the clashes, when he see he can win the clash he stay to that date, but when he find that his movie cannot win the clash so he run away from that date…..He is not “Duniya Ka Sabse Bada Star”, but we should call him “Duniya Ka Sabse Bada Darpook”……LOL

  • outstanding decision now they will block screens for 2nd weekend too..
    as normally films r booked for 2 weeks

  • 1)TITLE IS QUIRKY.. AND POSTERS ARE FAB LOOKS LIKE A MOVIE WITH LOT OF COLOURS AND ROMANCE..

    2)GOOD MOVE TO SHIFT THE DATE… TEPK WAS TRYING TO GAIN PUBLICITY ON THE BASIS OF CLASH WITH SRK.. AND THEY KNEW THE MOVIE NEED TO BE OK TO BE HIT IN ORDER TO COLLECT 60 65 crs..

    3) NOW THIS SHOWS THE CONFIDENT IN THE PRODUCT BY THE MAKERS… WE ALL REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED AT TIME OF CHENNAI EXPRESS AND OUATIMD

    4) 1 WEEK FREE RUN ENSURES THAT THE 1ST WEEK WILL BE IN RANGE OF 120-130 CRS IF ITS AVG.. AND IF UT FOUND APPRECAITION 150CRS ARE ON THE CARDS… WHICH WOULD HAVE NOT HAPPENED IF IT WAS CLASHED..

    4) IF ITS A WELL MADE FAMILY ENTERTAINER THEN BRACE YOUR SELF CHENNAI EXPRESSED WILL BE SURPASSED

    PEOPLE WILL SAY LOVE STORY MOVIE BLAH BLAH..

    FOR THEM A WELL MADE LOVE STORY CAN DO AND HAVE DONE WONDERS IN INDIA AS WELL AS IN OVERSEAS..

    NEVER JUDGE ANY MOVIE BY ITS GENRE

  • Good decision by SRK by releasing the movie in solo, dont worry for holiday weekend, good movies dont need any holiday like baubali 2 & worst movies cant do anything in independence day weekend like Mohenjodaro. If movie is accepted by audience then single day record in danger in first sunday. Best of luck to sir.

  • at the time of CE it was eid weekend but at this time its look like a completely non holiday realise bcoz you can’t get advantage of holidays on 11th & 12th day when you will have to face an another new realise on same day. for example if HNY & PRDP realised 10 days before diwali than weekend 100 plus was not possible that time and after 3 days everyone know what happened. so i think it’s a foolish decision

  • If content is superb than this will be a smart move by srk and team. As film will open big in first weekend but also took advantage in next week if found appreciation. On the other hand Canadian toilet also have huge benefit to having a better extended holiday advantage. Srk film definitely have an edge if content clicked else Canadian toilet will be a huge winner.

  • Srk fans call him Duniya Ka Sabse Bada Star, let see how big he is

    Duniya Ka Sabse Bada Star- who is struggling to cross 150cr mark
    Duniya Ka Sabse Bada Star- who is struggling to get a solo release
    Duniya Ka Sabse Bada Star- who is struggling to get solo release even in a small festival
    Duniya Ka Sabse Bada Star- who is struggling to give 1 Bumper opening (HNY was Highly Manipulated)
    Duniya Ka Sabse Bada Star- who is struggling to give HGOTD from last 3 Decades…..
    Duniya Ka Sabse Bada Star- who is struggling to give HGOTY from last 10 years
    Duniya Ka Sabse Bada Star- who is struggling to pass 400cr WW figure

    And here I am not talking about 200cr (without Deepika) and 300cr mark and other things, and I am sure he will never cross 300cr in his career…….

    I think we should call him “Duniya Ka Sabse Bada Joke”…….LOL

  • Srk is scared of akshay??? This doesn’t make sense if he was scared of salman khan then that was sensible bcs salman is a megastar but askhay is a superstar how can srk be scared of him??? He already beated him while OUTIM and chennai express this shows he s nt confident of his movie this time am DISAPPOINTED SRK SIR you deserved better release date after all you announced your movie first

  • what srk named..his films….it become a popular…it become odd in earlier but…later ok…srk is king of romance…whatever …no bar for age to love…best wishes…

  • SRK need a big grosser just to be in top league.This movie will determine whether he is in top 3 or just he is losing his stardom over the period of time.Movie is romantic film for which SRK is known for & also they are biggest hits for his career(DDLJ,DTPH,KKHH,KHNH,RNBDJ) & this films are universally accepted & still people watch on tv.Over the period of time we have seen the biggest of grosser are not following any pattern,just look last 10 biggest grosser of those years (Ghajini,3 idiots,dabangg,tzh,Dhoom 3,Pk,Bajrangi,dangal,etc) they all are different from each other.Now SRK coming with romantic film (his strength),can’t expect anything less (Content wise & business wise).Only problem for SRK movie is TEPK,But still TEPK is not typically AKSHAY’s big film as its business will be limited.So SRK have to deliver big film not necessarily new club for Bollywood of 400 cr but atleast 300 crore or atleast biggest srk grosser beating Chennai express.So all the best to SRK.

  • It is going to be a one of the best movie of imiaz ali career and name is also good . date it good too . if the content is good then history will repeat again like in 2013.

  • for canadian waiter this time again he will be out of range again like in 2013 but he already met PM for national award .

  • @Salman Fan
    Get a life moron!! Are you even 1% of SRK? Go study, work hard and support your family instead of barking your shit

  • something is wrong with indicine,
    the publisher of the article has to reinvent his/her mindset to look at circumstances.
    Even if srk-imtiaz film finds acceptence still you never know a film like TEPK which is likely to get tax free status also carrying positive inside reports may surprise.And @indicine how can u compare Chennai Express vs Once upon….Dobara clash with this one when you know here the director is imtiaz of srk movie and facing a partial clash with Akshay who is at carrier high note ?
    @indicine don’t over excite yourself and wait for the trailer release of Toilet-ek prem katha.

  • All retarded Salman fans, Aamir can postponed his film to 2 months.so why u not telling anything ? Here SRK just preponed his film to 1 week .
    Salman fan, u are the biggest hypocrite.you told me that you not want clash for SRK films.so when he finds a way for solo releases for himself then why your @$$ is burning ?
