It’s official! The 3 Khans of Bollywood will once again have big film releases during the Eid, Diwali and Christmas weekends in 2016.
Eid 2016: Shahrukh Khan’s Raees, directed by Rahul Dholakia, will release in the first week of July next year. The last time SRK released a film of his during Eid, Chennai Express went on to be the highest grosser of all time. The film also stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Mahira Khan.
Diwali 2016: Salman Khan hasn’t had a film release during Diwali in the last 4-5 years. But 2015 and 2016 will belong to the superstar as Prem Ratan Dhan Payo and Shhuddhi are scheduled to release during the festival of lights. Shhuddhi will be directed by Karan Malhotra of ‘Agneepath’ fame and the film will be produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions.

Christmas 2016: While Karan Johar has already announced a film for Christmas – Ayan Mukerji’s superhero film starring Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt – the makers of Dangal have confirmed that they are targeting the Christmas weekend to release the Aamir Khan starrer. In the last 6 years, every single Aamir Khan film that has released during Christmas has gone on to be the highest grosser of all time – not just the biggest in India, but the biggest worldwide grosser too!
Which festival release in 2016 are you waiting for? Vote now!

Kuch log pehele se hi safai de rehe the ke Dangal non holiday release hoga kyuki uski bo capabilities zayda na hey balki woo class film hoga and Aamir sab records ke piche nehi baghte….to ab kya hua ???…:-D
Waise Salman bhaijann ne booking kar rakhii thi 2016/2017 tak savi holidays ka…..uska kya hua…ya fir rent pe lie the woo sab…rent nehi de pae to malik ne nikal dia…:v
Excited for all of them especially raees !!
salman should try to complete asap. If he completes it on time then there will be no raees on eid
Vote for Raees…Srk Rocks
I love amir and salman khan so you know my picks
The only thing Srk is capable of winning is polls..He has failed everytime at BO..Still Srkians assert him as Bollywood King. :p
My predictions just for fun
raees-238
shuddhi-321
dangal-273
Not interested in raees of non-actor sarook other two are must watch
Only very few peoples particpte in this kind of polls more go for movies but Sarook fans are happy to see their king winning polls at box office sarook will be missing
Raees will be grand……
Shuddhi will be blockbuster due to hrithik involvement with it in past. 3 khans are nothing infront of hithik. Mohenjodaro will be best flim in both in quality and box office performence , even current best actor aamir will be beaten by HRITHIK ROSHAN.
This time IT’S A CLASS YEAR.if KING KHAN comes with THE CLASS,then no actor even will come closer nearer to HIS CLASS.
may be it’s hard to say which film will to highest collection but MY HEART is saying it’s RAEES will be the winner in terms of CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED,BO,IN TRUE CLASS,IN ENTERTAINMENT AS WELL.
Shuddhi will be better than dangal in terms of content I thi k.but dangal seems to be very uninteresting as it’s a biopic.
Hahaha like i am so amazed to see amir always get these less votes and dnt have a huge fan follwng like the other two khans.. but his movie always go past the other two khans movies.. Hats off yr He is a gem
Raees bhikari and shudhi may come out on top in this poll but at the box office dangal will come out on top…. Releasing the movie on Christmas indicates that the makers of dangal are super confident that the movie has got to story to appeal to everyone in the festive season
I like the way other actors declare their release date and then these big khans snatch their days like Lions! Truly the trio are the Lions of Bollywood. When they want to release their films other actors back off straight out!
Well done SRK, Salman and Aamir. Love them or hate them they are the Lions of Bollywood!
Good to see
@javed
No Aamir fan had bashed SRK on this article. Then why you bashing Aamir? Why so much of hate?
Raees>shuddhi>>>>dangal(dhobi ghat returns)
Difference between a Bodyguard and a King. Salman Khan books Festival dates 3 years in advance. SRK doesnt book, but GETs it if he wants
Again a christmas release for the most insecure actor in bollywood. He is hooked to christmas as he know what happened to non-holiday releases Dhobigat and Talaash.
mohenjodaro and airlift would be best of 2016
All three films look interesting..and as far as box office is concerned,all three films are having biggest holidays so there is full advantage..let’s see who comes out on top..but when is Fan going to release? And who will be coming on 2nd October and also post IPL?
srk only winner of polls.we Salman and aamir fans hearing this that srk film is coming with storm from last 7-8 years but collection wise his films end at no3 always.
Mohenjadaro & Dangal…
yeh
JAN E MAN vs DON(salman Bad time)
nahi hai
yeh
SULTAN vs RAEES(good time for Salman)
khuda kare
clash ho
badla lene ka yahi mauka hai
mauka mauka mauka
So Dangal is a Christmas Release so it means Aamir and team are making a commercial film which can appeal to large section of audience, Its been interesting to see how the movie shaped up.Aamir come again with a interesting film.Excited.
@shaheer didn’t seen your comment that srk will have highest day,highest weekend record with FAN, oh I forget it is normal weekend release.
Great to compare srk opening weekend with Kick and PK who were non holiday release, oh but you forget Aamir dhoom 3 still holding highest weekend all India record as per trade figure.lol.
@javed take a chill pill.

@gj007,hope all other amir(salman fans) would have thinking like you,but unfortunate it’s not,what about amir’s fan @legemd amir khan?why he hates and jealous of KING KHAN so much being a an amir fan,so he started 1st,kindly look at yourself double standard persons.1st it’s you start then why acting like an innocent?
@ gj007, i have great respect for three khans especially srk.
but since i step in indicine i saw aamir fans and salman fans insulting srk.
in every comment they used moronic statements in every comment they took srk name to bash him and spread negativity…. that’s why i decided to return the favour and that is it!
i can hate any one becoz of srk my world.
