Bajirao Mastani vs Dilwale: Christmas clash to be averted

It never made any business sense, but Sanjay Leela Bhansali and the lead cast of ‘Bajirao Mastani’ had reconfirmed time and again that their film would hit screens during Christmas 2015.

However, reliable sources close to Sanjay Leela Bhansali have confirmed that the makers of ‘Bajirao Mastani’ are now looking at a solo release date in 2016.

The reports come a week after Red Chillies Entertainment officially announced the release date of Rohit Shetty’s ‘Dilwale’ starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon.

Earlier this week, there were also reports that the shoot of ‘Bajirao Mastani’ was delayed by a few days due to Ranveer Singh’s surgery and Bhansali wanting to reshoot a song sequence of the film.

The period drama starring Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra in the lead, is touted to be one of the costliest films produced in Bollywood. A clash against a Shahrukh – Kajol film could have backfired big time, more so since Bhansali’s ‘Saawariya’ failed to match upto SRK’s Om Shanti Om back in 2007.

While the news is yet to be officially confirmed by Eros International or Sanjay Leela Bhansali, it’s more or less confirmed that the film won’t release in December.

There you go then, Shah Rukh Khan will get a solo Christmas release this year.

  • Well I always knew that no one will dare to release a movie of this budget opposite a srk starer.
    I hope dilwale emerges as best rohit shetty film

  • Only Ajay Devgn can give competition to SRK to release the movie on same day……… Even Akki couldn’t compete…..while outim2………..now sanjay leela bhansali……..whats the reason to delay the movie…………….ranveer injury……..ha ha, everyone trolled…

    movie will cross 200 crore club by any means…!!!
    indicine knows if they predict 180 crore
    for bb then sallu fans will start crying
    and they will attack and protest against
    indicine lol ???
    swallow the sour truth!

  • This is a good news for all SRK fans. I hope the movie does well, but the most importent thing is for the movie to be good.
    It’s better to have a great movie doing 170 cr, than to have a awfull movie doing 320 cr.

    But from all the pics and news, the movie looks like it will give us something great. Looking forward to it!

  • Wuhu..
    Anyways i still believe if bhansali is even thinking of releasing his film on christmas den he is the biggest fool.clashing a mega budget ranveer deepika starrer wid shahrukh shetty combo…huge blunder
    Anyways i wanna be realistic if dilwale will be as good as Ce den 300crores are on the cards n 600crores ww..pk record is quite tough to achieve

  • The whole world knows that bb and prdp
    will sink at box office…!!!???
    our bhai will have to quit bollywood so that everyone may be saved from his crap
    after crap…!!!
    when I watched his crappy dabang I wanted to leave bollywood…
    while ur fighting u should not dance and take it serious but our bhai did the vice versa in crappy dabang!
    Trust me no one can tolerate his tortures!

  • @nipun remember a scene from bang bang
    the name of hrithiks house was shown to b GHAR!!!
    It was UL(Unintentional laughter)

  • Still I go with @indicine prediction…..for dilwale – 265 cr only….
    everyone knows rohit sheety film is one time watch only….
    according to me dilwale will collect less than 244 cr…

  • Srk wants to beat PK
    so he can even beg to anyone like he begged to jitendra at the time of ouatimd..!

  • @Nipun Even I would prefer CE or Singham Returns over Bang Bang any day
    @Aamir your favorite star was so desperate to break records that he decided to release Pk on Christmas even though it was supposed to release during the post IPL period

  • HRITHIK ROSHAN IS THE CORE OF HINDI FILM INDUSTRY AND NO ONE IN PRESENT OR FUTURE CAN BE LIKE HIM.

    COMPLETE ACTOR HRITHIK ROSHAN !

  • Its k indicine why are u upset with this clash ,how many times will u publish this article . Let the clash happen , every1 has rights to release when they want.
    Slb knows this jhundwale is for 3 days film , and tell me is bombay velvet got any advantage of releasing solo then why u are desperate to change the date .

  • Now I need to say it time to time ????? As I earlier said no one can dare to CLASH against THE KING OF BOLLYWOOD AFTER CE.but haters was not listening to ME.Now see their hope and dreams get shattered in one second after seen this article.Alas!!!!!After creating HIGHEST SINGLE DAY AND OPENING WEEKEND COLLECTION,NOW KING KHAN is in the way to GIVE THE BIGGEST ATBB OF BOLLYWOOD.

    meanwhile some amir fans are crying and saying —- why KING KHAN,why YOU’RE again came to give sleepless night.now there is no Raju/Dhoom that can save US from this danger.please KING KHAN postpone your movie please postpone,WE’RE agree to lick your feet and our star also will do that but please postpone.they’re not saying this thing directly,this thing is seems to be hidden in their inner mind,lol.

    @nipun,I know your back is on fire now.you forgot papa’s x/super man scene to scene copied crap jadoo3 which saved by RCE VFX.,ROFL.CE is for entertainment and I didn’t knew even yiu ever will like crapiest singham returns more than CE.after all there’s a said like ‘if you offer a banana to a pig ,that will not be accepting by creature’.and guess what the same was happened with you.I think you’re targeting KING KHAN more than HIS FILMS,and don’t forget OUR KING KHAN has more than double CLASSIC given by your papa’s boy .BTW if I’ll say I enjoyed singham returns more than knph /jadoo series certainly you’ll not like,I think though I’ll not say that because I’m not a hypocrite like you,ROFL.

    “best comedies are those in CE ‘who’ didn’t contain comedy and action”!!!!! It should be ‘which didn’t contain comedy and action”.ha ha improvement is required that’s what all I can.say.

  • No film dare to clash with raju hirani or rohit shetty directed films, pk record is in danger

  • SRKs film doesnt need to be hit, its become hit with his name only 44 carore opening day cuz of SRK not cuz of farah so please forget abt disaster or flop, his movie just need 2 to 3 days to recover its all cost.

  • As i erlier said Dilwale will get solo release, now if it is good as golmal3 or ce than pk record is in danger

  • Beleive me BM will face more damage if it release in 2016 than what it will by clash with Dilwale.

    Because due to following reasons..
    1.January is not good month for business for bollywood.Some biggies released in recent years proved it.
    2.From February T20 world cup will start that too in India so February & March also not good for release such high budget film.
    3.In April & May IPL.

    So if they lost X’mas dates then no good date till post IPL.And postponing film by 6 months is not a clever choice.

    So better SLB should release film on 25th December.It will benefite them both X’mas & New Year.

    SLB waited for 15 years to make this film & now finally when it happened he should not postpone it at any cost.

    Final world if they miss X’mas date they film is going to be flop for sure.

  • Even the worst film of Sharukh Khan “Happy new year” collected 200 crore so if ” Dilwale ” is average or just entertaining like chennai express ie will cross 300 crore mark easily.

  • i don’t know why SLB try to take on SRK it happened with Sawariya may be he learned the lesson of life its debacle.
