IF its true... its messed up. But at the same time, why mention this now?! The movie is about to release in less than two weeks... I am sure ADF has known about this for a while considering ETT released a while back so why didn't they try to approach this topic earlier so both of the movies could have had a good release.

After reading this I will change my stance on this topic.

YRF is in fact playing dirty. How is SOS supposed to compete with 2 out of 17 theatres? Its unfair to Ajay and its unfair to the theatre owners/exhibitors. Do you think all 15 theatres will be housefull for JTHJ for 4 weeks. Most of those theatres are going to suffer losses because their audience will be split. They would much rather be playing SOS and sell some tickets and make some money.

This is not Ajay being insecure. He's ready to compete head-on but at least make the playing field level.

Might be too late for a lawsuit but hopefully something is done before the release. No way SOS can compete with only 12% of the tickets in play compared to 88% for JTHJ.

thank god he woke up atleast before few days.

otherwise god know what will happen, may be he was so busy with other stuffs and forgot to check screens from June where the deal got fixed.OUCH.

I really feel for him . those articles regarding ETT +JTHJ joint deal was all over the news papers and seems like lot of fans were aware of that from ETT times. Unfortunately AD doesnt know it.

On the other hand, its good to see to see how truth will be prevelaed through Indian courts, and how people will trust the law system atleast from these kind of issues. Hopefully the wrong side will be punished unlike many cases in India. Then hopefully everybody with out taking idiotic fanism in to head will side with the right party in everycase like this.

I think it's unfair about the less screening also. I remember Cocktail had a less screening than BB and both movies number were being compared. It's unfair

Now Yash's movie have a lot of screening while Ajay has a less screening, it's unfair battle. They should have equal amount of screening than we'll see the real winner

It is ridiculous that people are calling Ajay insecure, I would say that Yash Raj films are insecure because of their JTHJ and ETT contract. Yash Raj films is misusing their power and I am glad Ajay stepped up to them. Monopolizing is illegal, just because SRK stars in JTHJ some of his fans just want to ignore the law.

SOS is also releasing on Tuesday?

I was never interested in SOS vs JTHJ matter but now I want to know whats the matter.

So When ETT released ,YRF struck the deal with the theatres for JTHJ too. Where all ETT was released same places JTHJ will be released. Was this known beforehand about YRF monopoly ?Or is this the first time they are monopolizing the market?

So cos of the JHTH share of theatres, SOS has less number of screens available. Did SoS know about ETT and JTHJ combo before they set a Diwali date?

I mean If I am YRF and I want to ensure there is profit for the company,why won't I tie up screens? Its business afterall. Is it unethical? No. YRF might have done this already for D3 too. Cos it ensures good first week collection.Later it depends on the quality of the movie,whether it does well or not. What is wrong with YRF striking a deal with all their movies?Is it against some film federation rule?

If AD knew the number of theatre booked for ETT,he could have imagined the same for JTHJ and D3. Why cry now about the monopoly? A Company will do all it takes to get profit. How is tie in release not fair? If buying that many screens is wrong then it was done during ETT too.So YRF always buys that many screens,you know about it,Schedule your movie on some other date. Or be happy with the screen space you have got.

Its all Business tactics. If you want to fight it out,fine.But how can anyone say Ajay is insecure or YRF is insecure.

Just hope these two movies release,make their profit . Enough of this SOS Vs JTHJ. Its getting Boring.,🥱

YRF used ETT to get the same theaters for JTHJ ... and ETT being a Salman khan movie was the hot property and sure shot Blockbuster and even if suppose JTHJ doesn't work those ppl have earned enough frm ETT alone , so thats why those ppl must have agreed to this deal ... all thanx to Salman's star power

and why ppl r assuming AD did nothing before ... we don't know , we didn't get articles abt it ...we don't know what he must have tried ??? I m sure he went to the court when everything else failed

I don't know if this is true for European cinemas as well because they're not showing SOS here either. Which means we don't even have a choice.. the only movie we can opt for is JTHJ.
