Viacom18 Motion Pictures and Sanjay Leela Bhansali have decided to stay away from Yash Raj Films’ Tiger Zinda Hai. The decision has finally been made to release the magnum-opus ‘Padmavati’ on November 17 2017, a month before the previously finalised date (15 December 2017).
The much-discussed clash between ‘Padmavati’ and ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ has been averted, making way for Salman Khan to get a completely solo ‘competition-free’ release during Christmas next year.
It’s the current form and box office supremacy of the superstar that makes it impossible for anyone to even think of taking him on. Not just in the week of his release, but most banners try to avoid releasing their films a week before and a couple of weeks after the release of his films.
‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ is even bigger because it reunites Salman with his ‘Sultan’ director Ali Abbas Zafar, it’s a sequel to a major blockbuster ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ and has the backing of a banner like Yash Raj Films.
‘Padvamati’ is one of the biggest releases of 2017 too. It features Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor in the lead. It won’t get the advantage of holidays, but could get a 4 week open run if there are no major releases between ‘Padmavati’ and ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’.
It’s a good and sensible decision, during times when most banners seem to be obsessed with festive and holiday weekends for their big films.
| Weekend | Movie | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 26 Jan: Repubic Day | Raees, Kaabil | National holiday on Thursday |
| 12 Feb: Valentine's Day | Jolly LLB 2, Raabta | No holiday, but Valentine's advantage |
| 10 Mar: Holi | Badrinath Ki Dulhania | Partial holiday on Monday |
| 31 Mar: Ram Navmi | No Release | Partial holiday on Tuesday |
| 14 Apr: Good Friday | No Release | National holiday on Friday |
| 1 May: May Day | No Release | Partial holiday on Monday |
| 19 May: IPL End | Half Girlfriend | Historically, a very successful weekend |
| 23 Jun: EID | Tubelight | 2nd biggest weekend |
| 4 Aug: Raksha Bandhan | No Release | Raksha Bandhan on Monday |
| 11 Aug: Independence Day | Crack | National holiday on Tuesday |
| 25 Aug: Ganesh Chaturthi | No release | Partial holiday on Friday |
| 1 Sep: Bakrid | No release | Partial holiday on Saturday |
| 22 Dec: Christmas | Tiger Zinda Hai | Biggest weekend of the year |
| 29 Sep: Dussera | Judwaa | Lots of holidays Gandhi Jayanti on Monday |
| 17 Nov: Normal | Padmavati | No holidays |
| 20 Oct: Diwali | Golmaal 4, Robot 2.0 | 3rd biggest weekend |
Good decision by SLB this time, After showing two clash continually between Dilwale v/s BM and Rustam v/s MD every Producers and Production House Start thinking about their loss,
Only Rakesh Roshan and Ritesh Shidwani not understand.
Ritesh Shidwani once understand but again fall in another clash while Rakesh Roshan never understand.
Rakesh could shift his movie as a Bollywood industry’s old associate.
And looking the situations infront of Raees maker’s.
Become Kaabil can release some other date but Raees can’t.
Raees makers already release its teaser while Kaabil makers release only a Photoshopt poster.
Let’s see what happens in coming weeks.

This paragraph is enough to shut haters of Salman. It will be better for them to gracefully accept the reality and move on else they will be keep proven wrong again & again.
I don’t blame SLB who wants to loose money especially with a Salman Khan movie? This is not SRK.
Another wise decision is for Raees and Robot 2 to back off. Sites prediction for Robot 2 is very low low compared to Bahubali 2. Golmaal 4 will dent Robot 2 collection , Kaabil will dent Raees bitter truth. Raees and Robot 2.0 should find a better solo release date. Let’s bet?
A stitch in time is better than nine.
This decision proves that Salman>>>>>>>>>Shahrukh ???
So what everyone knew bhansali is a hypocrite,which now proved.as Eros international is not backing bhansali,so he changed the date due to hypocrisy to help salman against KING KHAN.so even if he feared of lallu,but he’s krish4 changed it’s date due to fear of KING KHAN.KING KHAN’S POWER!!!!!Even powerful YRF-Aamir made their way for KING KHAN ON 2018.Now wait and watch,lallu your time is coming to an end.after 2017,ALL FESTIVALS will be taken by KING KHAN.
Just due to few less weird script KING KHAN struggled in this decade.but the time came to an end finally on 2018,WHEN MEGASTAR WILL start to ROAR ON BOX OFFICE once again.
Haters re burning…..Now keep dreaming about EID 2018….
SLB saved his movie of becoming second guzarish.
The mighty power of Megastar superstar salman khan rulzz…
Padma Aunty now have a chance of becoming a hit atleast.
TZH will create history may be 400 crs on cards.
The title of Salu’s movie should be Bear Zinda Hai instead of Tige….Hai .
Difference between Megastar Salman Khan and Chota Star Srk:
SLB didn’t hesitate to clash with Srk, while media (because our Haklu is known as Media made star) try their best to scare SLB but he stood to his decision, and at the end Srk lost the clash badly…….But at he time of Salman, SLB himself decide to preponed his movie 1 month before Salman’s movie, and no one has to force him to do this…..Because SLB knows that Salman is not Haklu (Jisko Aaj kal Har Koi Baja Raha Hai)…..
Not at all surprised…..While Galaxy ka sabse bada gigastar runs away in fear of a Bhai movie phir dusre kis khet ki MOOLI hain to clash with a Bhai movie???
Good decision by the makers.
@indicine
Hey guys today is Amitabh Bachchan Sir’s birthday and you haven’t posted anything! Kindly make an article like you did one for Akshay sir.
But it will still remain a recordless movie. And today audience is gettinf matured and action movies are no longer working, so if TZH is crap than it will be flop even with solo release.
