  • Now waiting for salman to announce a movie for EID 2018 so that all big release periods of 2018 will be booked by TOP THREE KHANS….

  • Another year’s break! Why Aamir why?
    Because of this, Salman gets lucky and gives HGOTY due to your absence! Since 2008, only once has Salman beaten you.
    Hope Secret Superstar comes on Christmas now!

  • Christmas or diwali. It doesn’t matter. When the megastar is in the filmirror, it will smash all records. For the first time we will have HGOTY on diwali since 2008.

  • I wanted MASALA/COMMERCIAL movie from AAMIR,bcoz
    since 2000 he has done only 3 Commercial Movies Fanaa,Ghajini & Dhoom 3 and all are record openers.
    Now this is the article which made my day.

  • Having said that, I’m pretty sure this film will be epic!
    Aamir + BigB + YRF + Deepika(maybe) + Diwali + 5 Day weekend starting November 7th.
    All time Blockbuster and All time grosser guaranteed!
    And since Aamir is part of it, the movie will be damn awesome as well.
    Meanwhile, waiting for the best film of the year – DANGAL

  • As a Srkian …happy after this news….
    Only 1 question is coming in my mind that which movie will release on Xmas2017….Eid 2017 Tubelight….Diwali2017 Sons of sardar….then which movie on Xmas 2017???
    People’s were speculating THUG will release on Xmas2017 but after this announcement all is clear…
    @Indicine is there any chance of THE RING targetting Xmas2017 after yhis announcement???

  • Thug was ok…why they changed name…
    & Amir has to stand on chair to talk with Big B..Still he will need to wear high hill shoes.

  • The script of Dhoom 3 was absolutely crap i hope this one has a good script,it looks like this film will be clashing with Golmaal 4.
    Waiting for Salman to announce ETT 2.
    1.Ek Tha Tiger 2 ( EID )
    2.Thug Of Hindustan ( DIWALI )
    3.Srk Anand L Rai ( CHRISTMASS )
    Hope GolMaal 4 shifts to independence day.

  • NOW AAMIR is Coming
    during DIWALI Weekend,
    MARK MY WORDS,The film will rewrite box office history as far as the openings are concerned
    (5 days extended weekend)
    After 2018 for AAMIR HATERS
    DIWALI>>>CHRISTMAS

  • @Ishan Gulati well said. There is a saying in hindi, “sher ki nind ke waqt kutte ka raj. Lekin sher ke jaagne ke baad, kutta firse billi.” Same way, Salman can rule box office and give HGOTY only when Megastar Aamir Khan doesn’t have a release. But whenever Aamir has a release, Salman can’t stand any chance against him.

  • So Eid 2018 (TIGER ZINDA HAI)
    DIWALI2018 (THUG)
    XMAS 2018 (SRK+ALR)

    Eid 2017 (tubelight)
    Diwali 2017 (Son of sardars)
    Xmas2017…????
    @Indicine please answer which movie will arrive on Xmas2017????

  • Ajay Devgn’s Sons of Sardaar might clash with Thug on Diwali 2018.But films like Sons of Sardaar will take about 2-3 years to complete and Ajay Devgn has many films in pipelines but if not Sons of Sardaar then other film will surely clash with Thug which is sure because Vijay Krishna Acharya is no Raju Hirani.

  • Wow. Eagerly waiting for the movie but I thought they will come on Christmas 2017. I knew that It won’t clash with Srk-Anand Rai film as srk already given them a solo eid with Sultan. So Aamir and Srk exchanged their favorite festive period. Amitabh and Aamir khan are the reason enough for creating enough buzz for the movie.

  • diwali always face clash now wait to see who will clash most probably ajay devgan with Sos 2
    they all are very fine actors and dont want to see their clash i guess ad should book independence day immediately for sos 2

  • This is the difference
    when you cast other actors
    Title-THUG
    & WHEN YOU CAST PERFECTIONIST within 15 days movie title changes
    & Now,TITLE-
    #THUG OF HINDOSTAN

  • this is great news fan of this both fantastic actors Big b & aamir in diwali is real dhamaka n aamir is out of his so called safe zone christmas, Mahanayak & perfectionalist in one frane will be great experience for cinema lovers ! damn happy

  • Good move by YRF as Aamir should also release his movie on the biggest day to show his box office prowess. SRK has given the highest opening day(producer figure) and weekend during this weekend. Salman gave the highest opening day(trade figure). Now lets see what he can do. Even though the trailer might be humongous(as per Aamir fans) just like D3 though I found it average, opening might be in the range of 35-40 crores.
