Here's why Salman Khan's Sultan IS NOT clashing with Shah Rukh Khan's Raees this Eid!

Everyone was wishing that this 'Clash of the Titans' would be avoided and here is the FABULOUS news that you all have been waiting for...

We have an EXCLUSIVE gossip that will make fans of both the Superstars rejoice...

The year has started off on a good note already with the first release of 2016, the Amitabh Bachchan and Farhan Akhtar-starrer Wazir kick starting the box office game. We have has many interesting films lined up for release this year and with that we are going to witness many box office clashes too. But the most spoken about clash of 2016 is the clash of the superstars of Bollywood,Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan. Both their films, Sultan and Raees respectively, are going to release this year on Eid, but there was a buzz since a while that the clash might be avoided to cut the losses.

We have already seen Shah Rukh Khan's Dilwale being affected due to its clash with Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone's Bajirao Mastani and vice-versa. Many distributors also incurred huge losses because of the clash. Many cine-goers also couldn't see their favourite film for a few days because of the lesser number of shows and screen space that each film had received. So, everyone was wishing that this clash of the titans' would be avoided.

And here is the FABULOUS news that you all have been waiting for. Yes, Salman Khan's Sultanand Shah Rukh Khan's Raees won't be clashing on Eid this year. So did one film shift because of the other? Nah, that isn't the case at all. The real reason is completely different.

Apparently, Sultan is going to be delayed by a few weeks or even a month. Why? The very obvious answer is the leading lady of the film, Anushka Sharma, was finalised only two days backs. WhileRaees will be ready by the end of this month, the crew of Sultan will still be shooting till the end of April and hence they won't be ready to release their film on Eid. A source close to Sultan reveals to us EXCLUSIVELY, "Sultan and Raees won't be clashing on Eid anymore. Aditya Chopra and Salman Khan took a long time in finalising the leading actress of the film and though Salman has shot for various portions of the film already, a lot of shots and post-production work is still pending. Aditya Chopra also wants this to be one of the biggest films of the year and hence he is going to be looking into a lot of aspects of the film including Anushka Sharma's look for the film. They will make her look like a real wrestler and also train her to speak in a Haryanvi accent before starting the shoot. This means that Sultan will still be on the floor till April end and the makers won't be able to complete all the post-production work till Eid. It seems the producers will now look for another suitable release date and make an official announcement soon."

So this means the delay in finalising the leading lady of Sultan has sent the whole film's schedule for a toss and no one including producer Aditya Chopra, director Ali Abbas Zafar and actors Salman Khan and Anushka Sharma are in any hurry to complete the film in a rush. They want to put out a convincing, realistic and entertaining film and hence they will have chosen to move their release date.

Earlier in an EXCLUSIVE interview with BollywoodLife, Shah Rukh Khan had also mentioned that they (team Raees) were willing to move if Sultan is ready in time. He had said, "Yeah, I guess we (Raees) could shift. But I don't know the readiness of Sultan. Raees will be ready in January, in like 20 days. Plus, they all are friends - Adi (Aditya Chopra), Salman (Khan), Ali (Abbas Zafar), I know them all. So, if mutually we all can figure out a date where one of us goes a week up or down, we might! Or we might not!"

But it seems that Shah Rukh Khan won't have to shift his release date after all and there won't be any blood loss for either of the two films. In fact, this is a win-win situation for both the films. Both the films are said to be unconventional and HUGE entertainers and now that they are not going to clash with each other, they will open very well and may become the highest grossers of the year.

Are you happy that Salman Khan's Sultan and Shah Rukh Khan's Raees aren't clashing anymore? Tell us in the comments section below!

The India run of Dilwale is almost coming to an end. What are the WW collections so far, you guys? How's it doing in Austria and Germany?

Those pictures of Shahrukh from Hrithik's party...damn! He looks beyond hot with that stubble. If I'm not wrong the party was at Mannat.

Dilwale is a blockbuster

The Badshah of Bollywood has a habit of emerging as the victor in all battles and so this time when the B-Town Trade Analysts are labelling his new movie Dilwale as an "above-average" film, the critics have used every word in the dictionary to run-down the film and the Right-wing protestors with all their might have opposed the film, King Khan has defeated his opponents yet again. We do not get the whole idea of a film's success just by comparing the box-office numbers with other films, only the analysis of the numbers can only reveal whether the film is a success or not. Below are a few points which clearly suggest that Dilwale is a blockbuster.

Number of screens:

December 18 saw the mighty clash between Superstar Shah Rukh Khan's Dilwale and Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus Bajirao Mastani. The first battle and the most important was that of the screens, Dilwale is said to be released in 2200 screens and Bajirao Mastani got 2000 screens. SRK's Red Chillies was distributing a film first time that too against a veteran like Eros, but the most intriguing thing was the distribution of the screens. It was obvious that Dilwale should get more single screens and BM should get more multiplexes but it was the other way round. Eros had signed contracts with single screen owners earlier and so BM got more single screens and Dilwale got more multiplexes. No one understood this masterstroke of Eros till second week when Star Wars released in India. Star Wars clearly had a wider release in multiplexes than single screens which led to more decrease in Dilwale's shows than BM. This move by Eros has had a great contribution to BM's lifetime collection.

The first weekend is the most crucial for any film's business. This year's highest grossing top two films were released in over 4000 screens and did superb business in the first weekend itself. Dilwale which only released 2200 screens on a non-festive weekend managed to earn 65Cr in 3 days. This number is huge if you compare it with Bajrangi Bhaijaan and PRDP's per screen collection. Dilwale also lost heavily because many shows were cancelled in 1st week due to protests. Therefore Dilwale did a phenomenal business in 1st week which is clearly the earliest indicator of a successful film.

Critics:

The world knows about the prejudice that critics have against Rohit Shetty films and as expected most critics gave negative reviews to Dilwale. While the audiences clapped,whistled and screamed at every scene and loved the film, the critics bashed the film in every possible way.

Bajirao Mastani is certainly a good film but critics clearly went overboard in their reviews. It is not that the critics were biased but film reviews are crucial when there is clash and movie goers are in dilemma to chose the film for the weekend. On the longer run it is the word of mouth that counts, Dilwale got a thumbs up from the family audiences because it is total entertainer and BM had the approval of critics. Poor reviews wouldn't normally affect such films but in this case of a clash, Dilwale suffered a dent in its collections.

Protests:

From comparing fan made posters of Dilwale with that of a Hollywood film, circulating fake plot of the movie and finally threats to theatre owners, Dilwale came across all type of hurdles. Over 900 shows were cancelled in the first week(most crucial) due to the protests by Right-wing groups and supporters of a major political party. The film had incomplete release in states of Gujarat, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka. These centres are most important of any film, so Dilwale suffered loses due to this protests. The protests were so intense that a citizen was threatened with rape and murder as she opposed these protestor in Mangalore who protesting Dilwale. This fear prevented many people from going to the theatres. The most shocking thing was the silence of media and film fraternity on this issue. A censor approved filmed should be allowed to release but the governments did not take strict actions against the protestors. Certainly Dilwale is a huge success because it managed to earn 145Cr(3rd week India net.) inspite of the huge loses in key centres.

Final Verdict:

Despite facing such obstacles Dilwale has earned over 340Cr worldwide. Dilwale has smashed every record in UK, Gulf, Malaysia and USA. The film still hasn't released in some countries which have a considerable Hindi film audience. Dilwale earned USD 22.5 in just 17 days, and soon may break many more records. It already is the fastest 100Cr grossing film overseas. No trade analyst can argue against the fact that Dilwale has done stupendous business overseas.

To summarise, the SRK-Kajol starrer has successfully overcome every obstacle; it is an All Time Blockbuster overseas and a Super Hit in India. Overall Dilwale is worldwide Blockbuster and King Khan is still invincible!
