Director Nishikant Kamat, who postponed the release of his upcoming directorial venture ‘Rocky Handsome’ to make way for Akshay Kumar’s ‘Singh Is Bling’, has said that box office clashes are unhealthy.
Even though the director has postponed his film from October 2nd 2015 to February 5th 2016, he fears that a bigger film might take the date.
“We want to avoid any clash. So far, our date (Feb 5) is ours only. But you never know. Another film may decide to jump in to create an unnecessary clash.”
When asked if he is referring to the clash between Bajirao Mastani (which was announced first) and Dilwale, Nishikant says “No. But any clash is unhealthy. We’ve happily gone to next year. It gives John and me time to work harder on our film”
The business of Nishikant’s last film ‘Drishyam’ was affected by the ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ wave all across the country. The film got sandwiched between two major releases like the Salman Khan starrer and Akshay Kumar’s Brothers. This resulted in the off-beat, but critically acclaimed film like ‘Drishyam’, under-performing at the box office.
Slb will have his biggest nightmare this December
Any box-office clash against our Overrated Bhai is totally healthy for the competing film.
Remember Don vs Jaan-e-Mann, OSO vs Saawariya?? :-D
Then make a good movie…in a clash the movie with better word to word mouth wins…if the story is great people will no doubt watch it…if you make films named “rocky handsome” they will flop even without any clash…
That is why Azharuddin biopic is releasing solo on 13th May 2016
lol brothers did not affect 1% it was itself disaster flop.. But yeah bajrangi bhaijaan did huge damage to drishyam,bangistan,brothers and also baahubali
no one can match salman in eid forget about beating him just one advice to srk and his fans run fron eid otherwise raees would turnout huge flop i can bet on this.
Drishyam & Baahubali survived due to good word-of-mouth. On the other hand Brothers failed due to terrible word-of-mouth.
Make good films & it will survive.
But no hope for PAAV-BHAJIRAO MASTANI as it is looking totally crap borefest.
I didn’t expected this type of statements from your side Nishikant.
Its so childish and immature.

Rohit shetty and Srk will be taught a lesson this Christmas. What happens when you clash a crap masala with a historical masterpiece.
Bajirao Mastani 170 crore Superhit
Dilwale 140 crore flop/average
For all those who are cribbing about BM announcing their release date first tomorrow Himesh would book Diwali and then cry that other stars are trying to hijack his movie and ask khans to postpone his film
*their
Shame on people supporting another RS garbage like Dilwale and bashing a historical film like Bajirao Mastani based on life of a real life Maratha hero.
Bajirao will thrash Dilwale this Christmas.
What a childish immature statement. Why should clashes be unhealthy don’t you know that competition is good for the soul and helps to improve your capabilities for the next round. Can you imagine an athlete on a track running on his or her own, how then can records be broken. It does not matter if films clash people go to see what they want and its not about who win ? and who loses but what I love ? not interested in someone else. The problem is people become too greedy for money, nothing wrong with money its the love of it when you use people to get it then hate the people who help you. Take a leaf ? from Salman make your movies for your fans and they will love you ? no matter what. Love ? is kind and it suffers long.
@ I M BOOT : so ur trying to say if ur beautiful Queen have casted instead bhaijann then sawariya would av come out as blockbuster ..talk some sense u moron ..dont drag ur crap movie Remake don in every article ..jus read every article of indicine they called bhai salman bhai as Megastar ..not lungiwala
@challa first of all SLB is no himesh reshmiya, second thing is that SLB known to maje high budgeted films, so as per current scenerio whether he choose normal release or Christmas release, the fact remain same and the collection of BM will be remain same. Regarding himesh he released damadam along with Ra1 of srk, and I never seen him crying for that. Also Damadam was profitable for it maker though had losses on bo, just like Ra.1.
I don’t think clash is unhealthy, if two movie which has different kind of appeal and starred bankable actors than it is beneficial for industry, but yes it dent the collection of individual movies.
Tzp vs welcome, sos vs jthj had handsome collective box office numbers.
Drishyam is so far the best film of the year along with piku from Bollywood among the films I have seen in 2015.
bm content is high,will be epic,,,,rohit and content,hell no way!!!!!one more things is that”abhi krk chalte hain,srk nahi”
We should support Bajirao Mastani(Historical Big Budget movie)…..
In south every one had supported Bahubali and here in Bollywood most of the people are supporting Dilwale(Nothing new…same garbage story, same romance, songs etc..).
So Lets support BM instead of Dilwale.
Indicine pls correct Driysham was affected only by BB and bahubal. Brothers even if it had a clash with off beat drishyam obviously brothers would’ve gotten a bigger opening but the lifetime without any doubt of drishyam would have surpassed brothers by miles. Brothers was pathetic!!
@js in ur dreams
@sky despite of being an aamir fan u are speaking garbage..damadam was a profitable fare..lol for whom..check. it was a disaster flop…wasnt even able to recover its marketing cost…and bdw ra.one was a profitable fare for everyone…atleast it got a hit verdict unlike talaash which just managed with a semi hit status
@damnnn read my comment again, I said it was profitable for maker but losing for distributer just like Ra1.
Just see below link.
http://www.indicine.com/movies/bollywood/boxoffice-update-tell-me-o-khuda-and-damadamm/
Regarding Ra1 and talaash, Ra1 budget was 130cr, its distributer share was just 62cr, overseas was 10.5 million around 60-65cr gross, share 20-25cr max, still a hit, don’t know on what basis.
Talaash- budget 45cr, sold to distributer at 70cr, domestic 90cr, overseas gross 9 million $, 54cr gross, share 20cr. So recovery was almost 65-70cr in all scenerio. So talaash was recovered more at boxoffice in comparison to it cost than Ra1, still talaash was semi-hit, no proper answer for that.lol.
@Sky so haven’t you watched bajrangi bhaijaan till now? I suggest you to watch it and it will change your perception regarding the best film of 2015.
@Damnnn..!! What a joke? Talaash was semi hit? Than What should we call the epic Ra.one? Disaster? Get a life moron. Don’t get so much blind in cigarette wala star’s worship. Ra.one was not even a clean hit. But manipulated. While talaash wad declares hit officially by any sites including BOI but letter somehow that changed it to semi hit just to promote srk as we all know that he is most overrated media’s darling puppy. If talaash was semi hit for you than Ra.one was disaster for me.
Book a release date only if u deserve it
Bhansali shud remember this and will know it for sure after “disaster BM” headlines
@suchit BOI never declare Talash semi hit n i don’t need to mation boi is amir favour
