Perfect release date for Hrithik-Katrina's Bang Bang
In an official statement released to the media, Fox Star Studios announced the release date of Hrithik Roshan's Bang Bang. The action entertainer is slated for worldwide release on May 1st 2014.
We think, the makers couldn't have chosen a better date to release their film. Here's why.
Holiday release: When you have two of the biggest superstars in the business Hrithik – Katrina in a commercial action film, and release it on a National holiday, except all opening records to be shattered. 'Bang Bang' will have a 4 day extended weekend, much like Agneepath last year.
Perfect gap between three Hrithik starrers: Krrish 3 releases on Nov 3 2013 and exactly a year later Karan Malhotra's Shuddhi is scheduled to release during Diwali 2014 (October 23rd). 'Bang Bang' arrives bang in between, 6 months after Krrish 3 and 6 months prior to Shuddhi.
IPL Season: Very few big-budget films release during the IPL season and for good reason, as business for the evening shows on Saturday and Sunday tend to get affected. But since 'Bang Bang' releases a month into the IPL season, cricket fatigue would have begun to set in and the audience would be itching to watch a commercial entertainer.

P.S. It's time for Hrithik fans to celebrate as the actor has 3 releases in a year (Nov 2013 – Oct 2014). The last time that happened was more than a decade ago in 2002!
