Lagaan became a hit despite releasing with ATBB Gaddar. Two movies can work at the same time

If content is appreciated by audiences then both will do well. Remember SOS-JTHJ clash? At that time it had SRK-Katrina and yet somehow Ajay's SOS managed to become a hit too. The release date is perfect due to the holidays which will help both films sustain.

SOS was also a commercial movie. Ajay does have box office pull. Shahid is a different story. Besides jthj wasn't well received by audience/critics. BB seems like a full on commercial entertainment.

It will be a flop but the movie deserve to be a super hit.. It is the Indian market that always embrace mindless movies based on face value..d3, k3, ce, kick, ett, bodyguard, and so many more..

It is not just Indian market. Just look up how much Transformers earned all over the world. In fact look up the all time highest grossers list in Hollywood. Most of the movies there are such "mindless movies". It is not just in India alone that such movies become Blockbusters. Also it is not like Indian audiences do not give such "intelligent" movies any attention. If made on a realistic budget and promoted well then the audiences do turn up at the theatres. the collections may not be comparable to the big releases but still it is enough to give new and upcoming directors hope to attempt more of such genres in the future.

Personally, I'd choose to see Haider any day over Bang Bang, but that's just me ...

It would be nice if it somehow manages to sustain, despite the audience weight n interest mostly shifted towards BangBang. It seems like a classic, and man, Shahid is stealing the show!

Well UTV played a dirty game when they were selling Kick they only sold it out if people agreed to release Haider so it got more screens than it actually could if they didn't make such a deal. Glad Bang Bang team is behaving much more mature here and not playing any dirty games and basically focusing on their film, they had announced this release date several months in advance before Haider but they not irked by the clash.

So Haider got all the advatange to do well from now on if it does well then it will be only because the film is bad.

And people really need to stop with the "aww so sad a clash is happening, haider needs to be put on a pedestal it is for intelligent people"

it's funny how people automatically tag a film good if you have a different look for a film, the film can still be bad biggest example of that is vishal's previous films which were also dealing with dark themes.
