Raees vs Sultan: Which film should release during Eid 2016?

About a year ago, Excel Entertainment had announced ‘Eid 2015’ as the release date of Rahul Dholakia’s ‘Raees’, a date that was already booked by Kabir Khan for ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’.

The director wasn’t pleased, but said that he would stick to his release date. Kabir had said ”Our film (Bajrangi Bhaijaan) was announced long back and if Shah Rukh Khan’s film is also releasing on Eid 2015, it makes no difference. Our project will definitely release on Eid 2015. Anybody else who wants to release their film on that day, is welcome.”

The clash was averted, as Shah Rukh Khan first completed ‘Fan’ before moving on to shoot ‘Raees’.

A year later, history has repeated itself. However, this time around, it was Excel Entertainment and SRK who first blocked ‘Eid 2016’ as the release date for ‘Raees’.

Two months after their announcement, Yash Raj Films has released a ‘date announcement video’ confirmed that Salman Khan will once again have a Eid release during 2016.

Which actor or banner will back out? Who will eventually get the lucrative Eid 2016 weekend? Remember, the only year that Salman didn’t have a film ready for Eid, it was Shahrukh who released his film and delivered the biggest grosser of all time (Chennai Express in 2013).

Which film would you want to watch during Eid next year – Ali Abbas Zafar’s Sultan, where Salman will be seen playing a wrestler or Rahul Dholakia’s Raees, a film where Shahrukh Khan plays a Gujrati don.

  • … Definitely Raes
    Coz every one knows King khan is most valuable actor in the history of Bollywood.
    So can say any other film only prejudice thinking is hurdle to announce other film
    We all well known the power of Bad shah Khan.
    Most brilliant,talented and complete actor.
    My vote is always for King of king SRK.

  • it has no sense, salman kind of arogance here…..he always afraid to release his film during mon holiday such unsecure non actor he is absolute ly i am going to vote SRK …….yeaaahhhhh i want to see the clash between srk and sallu becouse this lallu always getting a solo and always on eid he is and the profucer just disgusting………SRK bring it on Don

  • With Clashes SRK has delivered a big hits & Iconic movies like DDLJ, KKHH, M’tein, Baazigar, Veer Zaara, DTPH, CE many more while Salman has delivered Marigold, JEM, GTGH, main aur mrs khana,Kyon Ki so this Bhojpuri Salman wil clash with Shah Rukh Khan when he got crushed by SRK million times even got crushed by actors like Fardeen, Ranbir as well…. lol

  • Sultan or Whatever…
    We dnt care
    RAEES forever…

    Cz we want some on screen gd acting…it has been quite a long time we have not seen that typical srk act of Swades,CDI,MNIK…jst forget the others…IT WILL BE RAEES…(baki sab bad main)..

  • Am back again guys!!
    Yes today we revisit some comments made by some LUNATIC fans on bajirao mastani vs dilwale posts yesterday. They talked about CLASH.
    @Mr SSS made mention of CE clashing with Salman Akshay Ajay Hritik Amitabh n imran Khan movies. Clarification time again.
    @sss how did CE win d clashes with d above actors? He talked about CE trashing these actorsmovies forgetting that DHOOM 3 KRISH 3 had a better collection than CE. So how did CE win d clashes. Or u meant d clash with Ouatimd ONLY!! Then don’t mislead readers pls!! Just say CE VS Ouatimd and yes CE won d battle period!! That again with compromises with JEETENDRA!!
    Yes I agree Despite Janeman having better word of mouth n critics review than Don2 it was Don 2,that won. No doubt!
    He mentioned OSO trashing Rhanbir kapoor SAWAARYA but any Big deal? This was a ROOKIE New comer 1st movie so what do u expect? No big deal!!
    He mentioned KKHH vs Amitji bade miya chote miya 2008. Yes KKHH was d highest grosser that year BUT did it trash Bade miya chote miya? No! Beta no!! Both were HUGE SUCCESS in fact Bade miya chote miya was d 2nd highest grosser slightly ahead of Pyar to hona hi ta being d 3rd highest grosser! So did Srk really trash Amitji? No! Cos it was d 2nd highest grosser!,so d word trashing dosent come in!
    He mentioned Mohabatein trashing Hritik? Yes mission kashmir though was also a success and. 3rd highest grosser with an UNKNOWN HRITIK cos KNPH ddnt release back then! Okay SRK trashed Hritik but which movie was d highest grosser n blockbuster? kaho NA PYAR HAI TRASHED mohabatein! BY A NEW COMER!
    OK SOS vs JTHJ? HOw was SOS TRASHED? VISIT BOX OFFICE OR ADDA OR even our INDICINE! When considering average TICKET PRICE n FOOTFALL SOS WON!! By 2nd WEEK it’s COLLECTIONS were BETTER than JTHJ even according to INDICINE. Thus I said visit @INDICINE on 27 November 2012 wit topic name JTHJ VS SOS FINAL DETAILED COMPARISM n ‘re read d LAST PARAGRAPH!!
    SOrry again d CLASH was in favour of AD! Take it or leave it u can’t change REFERENCES n HISTORY!!
    So next time if u r talking about yr SRK clashes pls RE THINK!! and take some CHILL PILLS!!
    KING OF CLASHES? MUST B A RETARDED JOKER if u put SRK aka Diwali dependant! That again SOS TRASHED that PREFERENCES your actor relies more on.
    4get about thinking to dare imagine a CLASH with SALMAN except u pretend and ignorantly continue consoling yourself with LIES n FOOLISH FACTS u present along with yr other IGNORANT FOLLOWERS just bcos it’s shah rukh!

  • I WANT CLASH

    BOTH FILMS HAS THEIR OWN STORY AND DIFFERENT FROM EACH OTHER

    WHY NOT THEY CLASH?

    THEY SHOULD CLASH AT BOX OFFICE BECAUSE EID IS ONE OF 3 BIG HOLIDAYS SO TWO FILMS CAN TAKE BENEFITS OF THAT HOLIDAYS

    WHY SHOULD THEY AVERT CLASH?

    IF THEY CLASH WITH EACH OTHERS , IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHO WIN

    CLASH WILL SHOW WHO IS POWERFUL STAR THAN OTHER

    GO FOR ACTION KHANS !

  • Well for me. Both shd CLASH so that we will include SALMANS name along with AJAY as SRK REAL NIGHTMARE CLASH THREATS wit REAL FACTS n not bedrooom pillow talks childish non defendable arguements henceforth.

  • These khans are so childish and even at the age of 50 they still act like kids and immature. grow up srk and salman. if you have guts and audacity then release you both kids your films on non holiday and prove your so called stardom. both of you can’t even act. same crap movies with bizarre overacting. learn something from aamir and hrithik. they are far better than you in acting and versatility. witout holidays srk and salman’s stardom is less than harman baweja and jacky bhagnani.

  • The fans of both actors keep fighting on social media but we have not been able to judge which one is on the top …..Let Sultan And Raees clash this time
    Time wil tell who is bigger
    For me It Is non other Than
    SULTAN….

  • @indicine i am srkian

    1st thing
    According to me sultans teaser is only for the publicity of SULTAN+RAEES+BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN

    2nd thing
    It can be a mutual understanding between SRK &YRF
    Because
    SRK treated YASH Jii as a dad…..aditya chopra is like brother to SRk.,…so i can never think tht YRF made a big decision widout consulting wid SRK

  • It is funny how Srk always wins these kinds of poll in indicine and gets defeated by salman or aamir in the boxoffice by a massive margin. A few years back, they voted jab tak hai jaan to be the highest grosser of the year, later Ek tha tiger collected about 90 crores more than the movie. Last year they voted HNY and we all know the result, Pk collected about 150 crores more than the movie.

  • ‘ want both the actors to have their movies clash with each other during eid becoz i want to know who has the most super stardom in this country thereby ending in twitter or fb war.

  • Am suprise people r just talking about SOS vs JTHJ. I don’t see Ajay as any nightmare to SRK though I have great respect for Ajay and believe he is still one of d finest and complete actor of Hindi cinema but I don’t see d logic behind Sultan and SOS? Okay fine non of them trashed each oda rather they all achieved their aims but come on Ajay n Salman r 2 different actors! SALMAN is an oppurtunist who took advantage of his sudden rebirth of late wen starting doing masala movies from 2010. I will still rate Salman far behind KING KHAN n Ajay devgn.
    I bet u and just watch out Salman will never have d guts to release his movie with BaDshah Khan!! Ajay may have taken d risk cos he believes in hiss acting ability but believe me Salman just believes in his glamour fluke fame!!
    Anyday my bet is with BADSHAH KHAN if sallu will dare to have a CLASH with KING!!
    Mark my words Salman must postpone his release day which he definitely will!!

  • when it comes to voting here srk wins bcoz salman gets vote from his fan base only nd srks gets from all others..Its salman vs rest of bollywood fan base so its obvious srk will win.

  • biggest atbb on eid was ek tha tiger so sultan will be release on eid 2016. While srk with farhan didnt gave such atbb or bb example don and don 2 so definately raees will postponed. I am not interested what your pole says because most of your users are srk and hr fans those dont leave any chance to win srk and hr to any polls.

  • I think its just for publicity… One film wl dfntly move on… Its just for creating buzz for both film or be in news evryday… Just like bm nd dilwale…

    Nd i think sultan wl move on bcz raess had aldry book tht date..

  • Just make a way for SULTAN…srk u either back off or be ready for a clash….eid always belongs to Salman as same as diwali & Christmas always belongs to SRK & aamir…..srk should release raees on diwali….as Salman backs out frm suddhi…..so as far holiday release is concerned diwali is always there for SRK……
