PK for Christmas 2014, Bombay Velvet could be postponed



  • 0

After smashing all previous with each of his last three Christmas releases, Aamir Khan has locked the Christmas 2014 weekend for his next film directed by Rajkumar Hirani - the director of classics like Munnabhai MBBS, Lage Raho Munnabhai and 3 Idiots.

Sources say the film could release on 19th December 2014, allowing the film to take advantage of the extended Christmas - New Year holiday season.

Aamir made the announcement on Twitter, without announcing a final date "Hey guys, PK release date is finally locked... this Christmas... my lucky date!!! Jai Ho!!!"

Soon after the announcement, there are murmurs within the industry that Anurag Kashyap's Bombay Velvet starring Ranbir Kapoor in the lead, could be postponed to a later date. There are also reports that Yash Raj Films' is targeting a December release for Manish Sharma's Fan starring Shahrukh Khan.

It'll be interesting to see if any film would go on to clash with PK and Aamir Khan during Christmas.

Directed by Rajkumar Hirani, PK also stars Anushka Sharma, Sanjay Dutt, Sushant Singh Rajput and Boman Irani

I want all three movies to fight it out!! As an audience, I want choice!! I hated the fact that I was forced to watch D3 this last Christmas as I was jobless & had nothing else to watch

But knowing how the industry operates, BV wont be left with any screens if it has to release with an SRK or Aamir film😆 We'l have an Ajay vs. YRF or Ekta vs. SRK all over again😆 If only things were that fair, competition would have been more than welcome😆

Honestly I feared for BV BO wise even without clash, because I don't have any faith on Anurag, when it comes to BO.

Quality wise, I am pretty assured. The budget is over 100 crores, it needs to collect atleast 140 -150 crore to be just a hit. I don't know how AK types films can collect this much.🤔. I really hope this film doesn't fail at BO.

But I think the audience is the loser in all this! I wish this craze to make 100/200 Cr within the week by hook or crook dies out soon! Already audiences are at the receiving end thanks to ticket hikes, but atleast we should have choice. When D3 released, there was not a single other movie in the theatre unless you also watch regional movies or decided to not watch a movie for a whole month which is unfair for a true bwd fan!! 😔
