The clash between two of the biggest films of 2017 is now official. The makers of Shankar’s ambitious sci-fi film ‘Robot 2.0’ have officially announced the release date of the Rajnikanth – Akshay Kumar starrer. The film will hit theatres during the Diwali 2017 weekend.
Earlier, Rohit Shetty had announced the fourth instalment in the super-popular ‘Golmaal’ series for Diwali. The film features Ajay Devgn and Parineeti Chopra in the lead.
The clash between the two films could well be one of the biggest the industry has ever seen, as the ‘Golmaal’ series has a huge following. In terms of star cast and budget it cannot get bigger than ‘Robot 2.0’.
Interestingly, back in 2010 when ‘Golmaal 3’ released, it was Ajay taking on Akshay in a one-sided clash with ‘Action Replayy’ succumbing to the popularity of the Golmaal series on the first day itself. This time, the two are more evenly matched. ‘Golmaal Again’ will be decimated in the south, but it’ll be interesting to see which film comes out on top in other parts of the country.
The other question is, whether Rohit and Ajay will think about postponing their film to a different date, as a film like ‘Robot 2.0’ could make a huge dent on the business of ‘Golmaal Again’ in states like Tamilnadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka.

Obviously I am going to see 2.0 in Diwali next year not because ofjust I am an Akshay Kumar fan but also because of the scale and special effects of 2.0. Films like Golmaal 4 can easily be seen on television or mobile. BAAHUBALI & 2.0 should be watched in theatres.
All Akshay-Ajay clashes till now:
Dhadkan vs Deewane (Independence Day 2000)
Winner- Akshay
Ab Tumhare Hawale Watan Saathiyo vs Raincoat (Xmas 2004)
Winner- Both flops, but Akshay’s film collected more
Blue vs All the Best (Diwali 2009)
Winner- Ajay
Golmaal 3 vs Action Replayy (Diwali 2010)
Winner- Ajay
Tees Maar Khan vs Toonpur ka Superhero (Xmas 2010)
Winner- Akshay
I like Golmaal series and Ajay-Rohit combo. But Rajni sir – Shankar – Akki, it’s too big for anyone..
2.0 FDFS for me..
Robot 2.0 without a doubt . Comedy movies Are Best on festival Plus rohit & Franchise brand So It will do decent 2 Good business…
Robot 2.0 will lead on opening day & Weekend for sure .
Rohit Shetty & Franchise VS Akshay Kumar Once again .
This Shetty Should learn a lesson this time just like Papa’s boy.. 1st he Clashed his movie with mega budget blue and than with Ouatimd.
Agar golmal clash karege to bohat bade ghalti karegi behter hai date shift kare q k 2.0 ka koi mukabela nhi
Abki baar to pakka case thokega
AD saare…??
Forget multiplexes and single screens he won’t even get space for G4 posters ..??
Two of the biggest flopstars ajay and emraan hashmi are coming together for baadshaho. Can’t wait for a disaster movie
Golmaal 4 Alrdy lost battle
I have no word to comment ……. Just amagging …… Masterpiece. Only for akki
robot 2.0 is akki’s movie. ….biggest joke of the century. ..lol….
Golmaal 4 should be preponed on sep 1 since there is no film releasing on that date so that it can get bakrid advantage on sep 2. And speaking of robot 2 it should get solo diwali release.
Golmaal 4 will b blockbuster…if ajay sir is producer of golmaal he will not run like bhagoda srk
“none of the above” option should be in the lists.
Indicine, in which way you see golmaal 4 and 2.0 more evenly match. I know the golmaal franchise is big but how how one can match with this monster….?
LOL Ek 8 crore ki opening nahi desakta diwali pe, Robot se kya khag bhidega RELAXED??
After losing in front of ADHM, seems like Ajay hasn’t had enough trashing ?
2.0 is already epic n piping hot everywhere.only south collections of 2.0 could be more than all India collections of golmaal again.bhaag devgan bhaag.
Lol look at voting results.97 percent wanted to see 2.0
AD ki toh lagg gayi.lol
Let me try my best and be neutral here. 1st of all I have no personal grudge it Ajay nor am I a very big fan of him. Agreed multiple National award winner and a terrific actor yes I can call him a superstar but a lesser commercial superstar so I am fair here.
Secondly I disagree with @Challa and my advice is he keeps his personal grudge to himself because its very obvious from his comments he is missing some things.
1. Shivaay was announced much earlier as a solo release for Diwali 2. G4 too was announced much more earlier than Robot 2 but it was not a guarantee solo. Being honest again looking at all the superstars clashes in last 10 years for Diwali its Ajay that has come ahead in all the clashes with spacy footfalls and distribution gap.
Listen no matter how we shout Akshay and Ajay have mutual respect for eachother we Akkians true ones inside know abusing Ajay solves no problem, Akki fans are seriously misunderstood especially when people like Challah start commenting and many Srk fans people think its Akki fans stooping so low. We Akkians are proud fans and to be honest have wider fans in India central compared to Srk. Fact . Those calling Shivaay fans collection first day are all fans of someone whose Manipulation is 10* more than Ajay. My only request to Ajay is for him to talk to Rohit since its Ajay that has the final say in most Ajay Rohit movies as Rohit has already attested. Give Robot 2 a solo release while G4 I believe can do well on any given day so its a plea not a frustrated way of making people think we are challenging g4. Respect the fact it was earlier announced so nothing wrong telling Ajay Rohit to adjust their release date. Am a big fan of gmall series so let’s not spoil anyone’s hard work and once again Ajay fans and his supporters 70% of negative comments are from Srk camps that’s their job after seeing their hero ridiculed by the Khans and looking very easy to be displaced by Akki Hrithik by 2017. Thank you and one love all AKKIANS!!
WOWWWWWW
AJAY DEVGN..
diwali 2016 SHIVAAY vsADHM
diwali 2017 GOLMAAL4 vs ROBOT2
diwali 2018 SOS vs TOH
2.0 All the way 2017 Diwali will be 3Diwali
Golmaal 4 is also a most awaiting movie because of its previous success but truly Golmaal 1 was awesome and 2 and 3 was just average so Gomaal 4 makers should change their date and let 2.0 release solo
khans toh gayo.khans ki ek year mein 3 movies hit krane ki aukhat tk nahi hai.akki is best
3 khan me dum nhai hai sirf Ajay Devgun me hai
I think golmaal will be postponed bcoz it will suffer very badly!!!! it will not get screens in south and also in north akshay Kumar is way ahead of Ajay Devgn in popularity
South Industry is churning out films high on content and technicalities like
1.Eega
2. Baahubali
3. Robo
4. Bahubali 2
5. 2.0
I doubt bollywood would ever be able to beat south industry in content , which they were ahead always , and technicalities.
I feel south industry is the true representation of Indian cinema .
Its clear that 2.0will win the clash bit I don’t want aj to clash with Akshay both are fabulous actor
Golmaal 4 waalo ko peeche hat jaana chahiye warna flop ho jaayegi.
2.0 Bollywood first movie who earn1200cr
