Your comment is awaiting moderation.
Salman and Ajay not deserve Diwali and Christmas Holiday…
And Ajay Devgan is not a biggest superstar.
He forcefully release his movie on Diwali.
He deserve only Dasehra and Holi relet date.
Padmavati will sure release on Christmas 2017 and clash will not averted by Slb.
Yrf should back their leg from Christmas 2017.
Disaster
akki sib 18 cr …..in his badest phase …
year fourth release coming after brothers …what do you want…what about hr coming after 2 years with so much halla hoopla and giving opening of 8 cr……
you are comparing akki with rk
lets compare hr with rk
Trade figure
K 3 -178 cr diwali release sequel papa beta jodi hit pair …….same year 2013
YJHD-188 cr non holiday ……
hr comes with1 release in 1 .5 year
rk comes with 2 release per year upto 2013
than by your logic
who is bigger rk is bigger than hr so shut your mouth ………..
Irony literally gets raped when these stupid compare TMK (2010) x-mas release
with their star latest festival release…!!!
OK then why shouldn’t we compare TMK with the festival release of that time ????
Saalo kuch to comparison me bhi sharam karo..
@tigerss the chuhia
From many days I was quite par chal tujhe Teri aukaat dikha hi deta hoon..!!!
Salman Khan record on festivals and national holiday
Republic day 2010
Veer epic disaster
Diwali 2009 MAMK
Diwali 2008 Heros
Diwali 2007 saawariya
Diwali 2005 kyuki
Independence day 2008 gtgh (defeated by one film old ranbir kapoor) aak thu
Diwali 2006 Janeman
And the latest one when he decided to come out of his comfort zone
Jai ho 2014
So according to your logic then he shouldn’t also deserves to released his films on festivals kyu???
@tigress the Chuhia
Now I know you will come out and compare TMK and blue with the festival release of 2011-2016 which make no sense
Then listen you idiot I dare you to compare these two with your Bhai festival release
From 2000-2009 to these film
Blue opening day 7cr >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> mamk lifetime
Tees maar khan opening and lifetime >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> salman khan eid 2009 eid release wanted and Rep day 2010 release veer …!!!
@tigress the Chuhia
one little piece of advice for morons like
you if others are then there is no need you also follow their footsteps…!!!
Sometimes Learn to ignore things
He misunderstood what u wrote u could have easily made him understand par nahi laato ke bhoot baato se kaha mante
Oops I made a mistake. Koyla is number 5 in all time list. LOL.
@shivaay sequal gang
Now what should I say about Ajay devgan
Ajay having 100% success ratio on big festival hahahahaha
Then what Ajay devgan tpks 2010 x-mas release???
You just take out sequal from his filmography in this decade what is he ???
Shithead if patriotism guarantee success then why satyagraha failed????
This site @indicine plays very smartly by comparing TMK and blue(three way clash) with the festival release from 2012 just to show Akshay small in front of others….!!
Their analysis always make sense but when @sunny made aggregate of Hrithik last 7 films that suddenly becomes wrong
@shivay gang md was hrithik’s first disaster and ajay fans talking abt disaster is the biggest irony ,even he had given more disaster than akki.
2003 ( ritesh )
Tjhe meri ksam vs talash
9 cr vs 5 cr
2004 ( saif )
Hum tum vs police force
21 cr vs 1.19 cr
2006 emran
Aksar vs mere jeevan sathi
9 cr vs 2 cr
2006 john
Zinda sanjay gupta ki vs family
10 cr vs 8 cr
Family – disaster
Mjs – disaster
Talash – flop
Police force – disaster
…..
So akki had a great record of loosing against ritesh ,saif ,emraan and john

@jokerpol version 2
Abey gobarstani idiot, open your eyes and see it’s your #unmatchable makki who started these all not me. Infact I have been praising your gobar since Rustam release. Anyway, bakwas karr hi dala hai to reply bhi lele..
If EDX guareente blocbusters then WTH MAMK, kyuki etc didn’t work??? It’s simple… bcz Salman was not that big during then. And today movies like Bajrangi Bhaijaan , SULTAN etc bcm ATBB bcz of his sheer Stardom not bcz of tiny holiday factors.
In which world are you living (maybe in jokerland) where heroes & sawariya bcm Bhai movies??? Iss logic se toh dishoom, fugly, shaukeens, dil pardesi ho gaya, Bombay talkies, bhajji in problems etc bhi jokerboy movies huye….hahaha.
Listen you gobarwala….at first let your jokerboy to surpass 150cr mark to be considered in the same league of Kangna, ranbir, Ranveer etc. Till then compare your jokerboy with guys like Varun, Sid, Arjun kapur etc..
@Tigress the chuhia
If people from lultanpur can consider Bhai extended camoes films like no entry and kkhh in their filmography and also shamelessly say as their hgoty then what problem u have with saawariya , Heros …
#Hypocrites
Hahahahaha tiny holidays u fool it is because of these tiny holidays only that helped prdp , ett , bodyguard to get superhit status
And second thing aankh faad ke dekh kya likha hai maine that @unmatchable guy thought u wrote that thing about akki ..
One more thing people like you cleans toilet in Akshay Kumar house and expenses on his pet dog would be more than what you will earn in your lifetime
so better remain in your aukaat
Haven’t been saying anything against your rickshaw but nahi kutte ki dum Tedi ki Tedi

Mega star blocking all holidays without any pre production work of his films….This is called safe zone mega star…Try release ur movie on non holiday if u have superstardom
This Koyla Devgn fans are the funniest on Indicine. Specially Ajay-salman fan. @koyla salman fan- If koyla was even an average actor(forget good) you wouldn’t have needed to hide behind non-actor Lallu’s name. That’s the biggest tragedy of koyla disaster devgn fans(if there are any). SRK is a legendary actor, the most awarded actor in the history of India. THe biggest moviestar in the world don’t need to be compared with no.5 (in all time list) koyla disaster devgn.
@Deadfool, wo, wo wo. So now this disaster flop king fans will teach me who has given disasters on festivals? The king of festival disasters who has given flops and disasters even on diwali, christmas, eid not only in this decade but also in last decade and 1990s, his fans rather shut up and dont talk about animated movie TKSH which was not ajay’s main stream movie rather animated movie. If thats the case than what about gobar’s jumbo? If ajay will start doing patriotic movies and release on big holidays like republic day, post ipl and independance day then i bet it will earn more than gobar’s recent ones. So shut up you deadfool. I didnt bash your gobar forst, it was this @Sunny makkhiholic who started it and i will finish it. Get it in your head strait.
@DEADPOOL 2.0, You too can ignore ‘Tiger’ but you didn’t and rather resorted to using bad languages. Hence, I am forced to give you a reply, unlike yours which is filled with hatred and biasedness.
……………………………………………
Some Akshay fans like you, for the reasons best known to you, like to undermine Salman’s stardom and can do anything to prove him bigger than Salman. Especially, many of you go on to mention that Salman’s stardom is due to festive releases.
So, let’s how many festive releases each of them has since 2001. let’s find out analyse the achievements of both Akshay and Salman in the light of festive releases since then.
First, let us first go through traditionally known Festive Periods (Diwali & XMas) & Holiday Periods (Republic Day & Independence Day) (keeping aside Post IPL and Eid for a while).

____________________________
Notes:
1) Clashes in the festive periods haven’t been considered as both faced clashes throughout the years.
2) Post IPL releases are not included as it has been considered as a lucrative periods for film releases post 2010 only.
3) Eid, considered to be one of the three big periods for film releases, was created by Salman Khan with Wanted in 2009. It was non-existant or hardly considered for films releases before that.
____________________________
Since 2001 up until today,
-During the festive periods such as Diwali and X’Mas and other holiday periods like Republic Day and Independence Day,
-EXCLUDING post IPL and Eid releases (as they didn’t exist before 2009),
a) Akki had total 17 releases
b) Salman had 10 (or 11 if u still include Heroes)
Clearly INDICATING that AKKI had more releases than SALMAN had.
____________________________
And if you add post IPL releases to them,
2011:
Salman:
11) Ready – Blockbuster – 3 June (post IPL release)
2012:
Akki:
18) Rowdy Rathore – Blockbuster – 1 June (post IPL release)
2016:
Akki:
19) Housefull 3 – Hit – 3 June (post IPL release)
***************
Since 2001 up until today,
-During the festive periods such as Diwali and X’Mas and other holiday periods like Republic Day and Independence Day,
– and INCLUDING above mentioned post IPL and Eid releases,
a) Akki had total 19 releases
b) Salman had 11 (or 12 if u still include Heroes) + 7 Eid releases [3 ATBBs, 3 BBs, 1 Super Hit since 2009 make up a total of 19 films.]
Clearly INDICATING that, during all festive seasons and holiday periods combined, AKKI had similar or more numbers of releases to/than Salman had.
____________________________
Therefore, overall, the total of films realesed during festive holidays + other holidays since 2001,
Akki = 19 films
Salman = 18 or 19 films
Success Ratio (from Average and above):
Akki= 47%
(as 9 out of 19 films were successful.)
Salman= 67% or 63%
(as 12 out of 18 or 19 films were successful.)
Point: the stats show Salman has been way better.
The Ratio of Super Hit, BBs or ATBBs:
Akki= 16% (2 Super Hits and 1 BB)
Salman= 56% or 53% (2 Super Hits, 5 BBs and 3 ATBBs)
Point: the stats show Salman been supreme.
____________________________
In festive seasons and other holiday periods, most of the people are free and willing to spend. Therefore, the BO of Hindi films can perform to its maximum potentials.
For that reason, during those periods, the distributors and the exhibitors want those stars that can bring maximum footfalls to theatres and and moolahs at the BO.
For a film released in any of these periods, it has to earn at least Super Hit verdict to justify its festive or holiday release. Else, that is a sheer waste of opportunity
With due respect to Akki, although he has had enough success outside festive or holiday periods too, he hasn’t really justified the those periods or lived up to the expectations with his films. He has rather wasted them most of the time.
To be fair and square, as of today, only Aamir Khan and Salman Khan can exploit the festive periods to their maximum potentials and hence they deserve those periods. Even Shah Rukh Khan has, one of the most successful superstars, managed to take full advantage of them only twice in the long long years: with OSO in 2008 and CE in 2013.
All in all, Salman Khan is a megastar and Akshay Kumar is a superstar. Besides, Akshay has achieved some unique achievements like three consecutive 100 Crores grossers in a single year and crossed overall 3000 Crores this year. I applaud him and respect his achievements.
I hope you all learn to respect Salman Khan’s BO numero Uno or supremo status and his megastardom.
But Akki fans, consider the facts mentioned above and don’t become Iffers. Dont say if Akki can achieve 300 Crores or an ATBB if he can release a film during Eid. The stats show he couldn’t have done it in his lifetime.
And above all, nobody is stopping Akki to release his films during Eid.
CRACK has been scheduled for Independence Day 2017 although they could have done it for Eid 2017 as you all know TZH was announced later for the Eid date. He can still announce one of his films for Eid 2017 Eid.
Nobody is stopping him and he is free to announce his films on any dates like anybody else is. If he faces with others (or Salman especially during Eid), both parties should dare to clash. The party that dares not clash doesn’t deserve the big festive dates.
He won’t announce his films for Eids and it is not fair for his fans to cry foul because Salman announces his films for Eids.
Aur Ek Baat Batao, Ek Aadmi Saal Mein, Teen Chaar film mein karenge, aur usko Sab holiday periods for his films? ?
He is still having them albeit smaller ones.
Aur baat yeh hai ki, Salman Itna Bada Saadhu ya angel nahin hai ke, woh Akki ko ya kisiko dosron ko kahe, see I won’t announce my film this Eid just for you and you release your film in it!!!!
And he doesn’t mind if anyone clashes with him. We don’t mind it either. And he didn’t mind it either even when he was going through his worst phase. Aab kyun karenge bala?
So, anybody is welcome to release his/her film during Eids whether or not with clash. Not hard feelings at all.
We have had enough blockbusters. So we want to level up our game and see clashed with Bhaijaanz films.
Last but the not the least, Eid didn’t create Salman but Salman created Eid as a lucrative period for film release in 2009. Swallow this bitter and be happy.
@NN: u r totally frustrated…ha ha ha…. U c statistics of srk on non holiday and talk…hez zero without festival release and big banners…ajay sir-finest actor of Bollywood..got2 times topmost award of india-National awards which are not paid like other commercial awards…srk is zero infront of ajay sir in acting
Only Ajay can dare to come against anyone else on edx
@koyla-Lallu fan-Oh yeah, I am frustrated by koyla disaster devgn!!! koyla is such a great actor that’s why koyla has no fans and his 1 or 2 fans have to take shelter of non-actor lallu to save their face. Big banners take biggest stars(and SRK turned those small banners into big banners), not stardom less koyla disaster devgn. And actors like saif ali khan and arjun rampal also have national award, so nothing to brag about it. Koyla doesn’t have any international recognition. And don’t forger SRK released MNIK on non-holiday which grossed 200 crore worldwide whereas in the same year koyla-kajol’s toonpur ka superhero grossed 5 crore. So shut up.
@Indicine-It’s okay if someone calls SRK ‘haklu’ but it’s not okay if someone calls devgn a ‘koyla’? What kind of hypocrisy is this? Why aren’t you posting this comment?
@jokerpol version 2
Abey loggerheaded dumbistani….Bodyguard, ETT etc are blockbusters not superhits. Agar itna bhi nhi malum toh yaha pe jhank maarne kyu aa jata hai???
My that comment was solely for srkians. But this unmatchable makki unnecessarily interfere there.
Chal maan liya ki heroes & sawariya are Bhai movies. Now accept dishoom, fugly, shaukeens, dil pardesi ho gaya, Bombay talkies, bhajji in problems etc jokerboy movies hai (as u call omg a gobar movie).
Listen you gobarwala….at first let your jokerboy to surpass 150cr mark to be considered in the same league of Kangna, ranbir, Ranveer etc. Till then compare your jokerboy with guys like Varun, Sid, Arjun kapur etc….
P.S: for further information read #Anand’s comment.
@nanga naach
It’s obvious that you are frustrated now. Because….
1. Recently your gigastar runs away from Eid in fear of our Bhai.
2. Your gigastar is doing Alia’s dadaji role in dear zindegi.
3. Your galaxy ruler failed to touch 80cr mark with a content rich billu2.
4. Even Varun Dhawan is getting solo release date but your galaxy gigastar…. Khud hi samajh le.
Christmas 2018 people will see star power of king with most filmare and most atbb he became king by 2-3 average films his stardom cant be less
