He needs to shut his mouth. I have got enough of him crying. He knows SOS is crap and will be written of by critics that's why he now tries to get publicity so audience still supports his movie even though it's bad and with this interview he wants to send signal to all the anti-srk fans.

cheap tactic, let the court do the work, and if court makes a decision will you then also say court did injustice

I don't care if his movie released with JTHJ or a Disney movie, I would no matter what not see his crap movie. He makes me cringe when he does comedy, he can only do those serious roles. 2ndly he looks bad as a sardaar and so not convincing, no comments about sonakshi, sanjay dutt makes me scared. Also they should have avoided the close up shots in po po po po song because it's disturbing to see such close up shots of 3 men with wrinkles and bags under their eyes.

Lolz...Ajay has a reason to be super-worried! I just checked out my local theatre for the pre-booking of JTHJ and saw that even SOS is going to be screened in the same hall! But whereas JTHJ has 5 screens available while SOS has been given just 1! That means, JTHJ will be given close to 40 shows in a day while SOS will only have a maximum of 8 shows in a day!

So we have two wholesale chains Costco and Sams looking to expand their business. Sams identifies a property at an ideal location. Since Sams is leasing property from the same builder at another two locations they do a deal together for all 3 properties together. When Costco approaches the builder for the same property they realize Sams has already leased the prime property they were eyeing. So what option does Costco have now?
-Bully the builder to lease out the property which has been leased out to someone else?

-The above doesnt work so drag Sams to court for violating anti-trust laws?

-Look for a different property in another prime location?

-Lease the property behind Sams but give attractive offers to customers so that the customers prefer Costco to Sams?

Ajay is taking the first two options when a smart businessman would have taken the next two options.

Your argument works only if there are other properties left to lease with equal revenue value. In this case - it is more like a hotel industry. Seats are fixed, time bound and revenue is fixed. I still say that Yashraj used monopolistic practices.
As for the court judgment - unfortunately, most commissions in this country are
a. corrupt
b. go with whoever is more powerful.
Take a look at what Anil Ambani has done to the electricity rates in Mumbai. He bought out BSES, took a monopolistic position and raised the prices. Can the customer do anything? get a competitor in?
Sorry - but in today's India, baring a few supreme court judges - all are up for sale.
I still believe Ajay - but I don't plan to watch either movie.

its not about believing Ajay, here the question is y is Ajay bringing up this issue wen the film is up for release? he is not new to the industry, he knows tat the screens need to be booked before even promoting the film...if their PH failed on tat front why blame YRF for tat...

YRF is monopolistic, yes..tat's b'coz they know how to do business!

^ no idea what he did when - I got the impression he had filed the complaint much earlier.

YRF are cutthroat - probably the only way to be in this business. I recall frosty relations with SRK for a while before Chak De. I vaguely remember reading about SRK asking for distribution rights overseas and not getting it.

They had to go back to him after their other films bombed. The difference between YRF during Yashji's early years and now is that most actors produce their own films and sell it directly to the distributor. It won't be as easy for them to sign up big stars anymore without offering them considerable profit sharing options.

Ajay and Rohit Shetty are the small guys making big. Veeru Devgn must have worked for Yash Raj at some point. I bet he feels great watching his son produce his own movies.

Interesting.

i don't wanna sound rude, but business is about profit making n here the principle of 'first come first serve' applies...distributors ,exibitors also want profit, YRF films break even most of the times compared to other PH, tats y distributors also allot screens to them, coz atleast somewhere they have a guarantee of gaining profit...everywhere it is the profit money making angle...luk if SOS is gud in content screens can be increased after the release as well, check out Barfii as an example...so instead of jumping into conclusions, i believe Ajay cud hav a direct face to face chat with YRF on this matter ,n then messages...this legal angle was totally unwanted...Tell me how many from the industry r supporting him openly? none...behind the scene,yes maybe...but samne, no one...so it is also a loss of goodwill on tat front...

all said i have nothing against SOS, if the film is gud, it will do gud...end of the day its the public verdict tat matters not such trivial matters😃

I dont get it ..

up til now, i thought that unless the film is really, really bad.. producers recoup their costs thru distribution deals, satellite rights, music etc ... its the distributors and exhibitors who depend on theatrical run ...

so even if we make the argument that Ajay is the small PH and lil guy and all (he isnt .. he is constantly ranked in top 5 alongside the three khans and akshay kumar)...his distributors are the big guys like Eros and Viacom .. i m sure these two are bigger than YRF ... so if we bring in corruption and siding with the big guy and all those angles, then ADF/Viacom/Eros would win hands down right?

And what is the point of fixing on a release date a long time before a movie releases if u dont immediately start ensuring that u can book the required number of screens? it really looks like first come .. first served here ...
