The theatrical trailers of Ajay Devgn’s ‘Shivaay’ and Karan Johar’s ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ (ADHM) are out and if the response to the trailers is anything to go by, then it’s going to be advantage ‘Shivaay’ during Diwali this year – atleast as far as the opening is concerned.
While the trailer of Shivaay was unanimously applauded for its visuals and grandeur, the trailer of ADHM has been criticised for being too confusing and underwhelming.
A quick look at the ‘likes vs dislikes’ ratio on Youtube, makes it pretty clear. Shivaay trailer has 340,068 likes against 12,199 dislikes. ADHM trailer has 39,422 likes against 8,643 dislikes. In other words, more than 97% people people have ‘liked’ the Shivaay trailer, whereas only 82% of people have liked the trailer of ADHM. The difference isn’t huge but 18% dislikes is a big number.

Sorry, but the adhm trailer is bad. Looks like repeat play of a lot of movies already there. Underwhelming. Teaser was better. but shivaay offering something new
Disappointed in Ranbir’s performance from the adhm trailer. An actor of his calibre and probably the finest and most technically proficient can not and should not give a shoddy performance. I hope the movie proves me wrong.
ADHM
Da teaser was better dan da trailer, da teaser looked different,Ash looked epic, everything was exciting The trailer on da other hand fo me was crashing down…same old story friendship…love blah blah blah Din like it, music sounds great though
SHIVAAY
epic trailer,good songs,great cinematography,intense actor like ajay. dont know but shivaay looking something different and game changer for bollywood hope ad’s this try not go into vein
ok we werent expecting adhm trailer to be grand and spectacular like shivaay as they are two different genres of movies altogether.. but the emotional connect was missing altogether.. there was nothing new on offer.. the scenes n presentation gave a feeling of been there seen before.. moreover the trailer was confusing n didnt get a clue wat they are trying to convey.. also a love triangle or quadrilateral watever it is in this day n age looks outdated n gives a feeling of deja vu.. not once did the trailer excite or evoke any emotion.. even with extremely positive wom the movie will manage to be just a hit which looks highly unlikely judging by the trailer.. another problem is that the audience might just not turn up given the underwhelming trailer.. advantage shivaay big time!
my prediction based purely on trailer n its response
shivaay- 130 cr
adhm- 70 cr
Shivaay
positive : Classy action, cinematography, good music, ajay devgan,trailer,
negative: they are not marketing well, they need to as ther is clash
adhm
positive: marketing,music,teaser,starcast
negative: trailer, big budget,negativity
so asking about trailer shivaay is very ahead and by looking about all the promos of movie till now adhm looking confusing film or offering nothing new but good music & location. while shivaay offering great action & cinema with a touch of emotions but at end of the day ultimate winner is wom of movie.
shivaay ahead in all departments but they need some aggresive promotion as adhm will be very well marketed and high in promotion, shivaay will not get much support or publicity from bollywood like adhm bcoz kjo is director most of bollywood need to involve in it so shivaay team need to do some unique or better promotion of there film.
only Shivaay. only darkhast will beat whole Adhm.
Ajay Sir worshipping Lord Shiva in the video song of Darkhaast hai was epic and mind blowing
Hrithik and 3 Khans have entered the 200 cr league. This is Ajay Devgan best opportunity to also join that club since it is only him that is left to show his Capability don’t get me wrong he is a terrific actor and a superstar no question about that but if he wants to be releasing on EDX solo especially Diwali he just have to try this time around. Apart from him I don’t see any actor aiming for 200 cr now. Ranbir and Ranveer did it with Content and Deepika ,Akshay Kumar I can never put my money on him he looks final with 140 maximum even with 1 film per year no chance. Sushant maybe can aim for 120-140 since MSDhoni will be a treat every 9\10 movie watcher is a Cricket fan ,7/10 are MS Dhoni fan so expect it to challenge Rowdy Rathde lifetime.
Is diwali
BOLO HAR HAR HAR…..
Ae Dil Hai Mushkil became YE HIT HAI MUSHKIL.
If Shivaay becomes a very super hit movie I know Salman khan will definitely work with another Kabir khan in making. Advantage they are already greatest of pals. Good luck Ajay
Shivaay definitely
Shivaay Ajay was looking mind blowing in the cuts and rolls of the trailer and song. Erika is a ? diamond her Indian customers were made for. Did not see much of Sayeesha but waiting to catch. Sad they could not shoot here in Canada they went for Bulgaria and exposed the city with its stunning locations.
Aisha ,Ajay Salman ,Kevin ,Sani D,Ajay rocks, hrithik (original) my favorite Salman fan Hi!!!! Lots of love
You guys ? rock ,keep the chain moving.
memory lane….
Indicine Q&A ….adhm has Ranbir many female followers… Anuksha bouncing back from a ride with Salman and Aamir ,Ash with loads of fans and Kjo 100% directorial record.
Shivaay only …Ajay Devgns Acting….
Remembered? Indicine hello…??? Remember my reply? Your favorite choosies and hatred towards Ajay because of Diwali 2012 (with lesser screens ) has answered everything you knew but kept on ignoring….you want to see d result of your BIASNESS and ENVY???
Ans…. Look upwards towards the POLLS and look @ your 100 % super hit directors Aukat. Compare it to “Disastrous Dissapointing Director” AD….
Just a reminder …be cautious next time!!
That mid air love scene is 1st most exotic cinematographical scene in bollywood history. The steamy kiss scene overshadowed Aunty Ash and kid Rk kiss by miles. Adhm locations were exotic but Shivaay was Epic.
@Sk fan Ranbir and Ranveer did what 200cr?
Wrong…!! Check your stats again
?Ø?? ?€??Ø?€ @???I…..? ?
True. Darkhaast > whole album of Adhm
