Shah Rukh Khan's 'Dunki' To Get Maximum Screens In Clash With Prabhas-Fronted 'Salaar' In Hindi Belt

Mumbai, December 14 - The Indian box office is gearing up for another round of heavyweight clash between two of the biggest films of the year, Shah Rukh Khan-fronted Dunki, and Prabhas-starrer Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire. In between, there is the Hollywood superhero biggie, "Aquaman 2" along with the mega-blockbuster holdover "Animal" which will be looking to cash in the opportunity during the Christmas weekend. ## Superstar Shah Rukh Khan is coming after two monstrous blockbusters in the form of "Pathaan" and "Jawan", and the expectations are from "Dunki" which marks his maiden collaboration with maverick director Rajkumar Hirani. "Salaar" is directed by Prashanth Neel whose last film "KGF: Chapter 2" was a massive blockbuster, especially in Hindi. ## The Dunki vs Salaar has been termed as the clash of the titans and this is leading to serious negotiations regarding screen sharing, mainly in North India where Prabhas-starrer is a serious challenge to other movies. AA Films will be producing "Salaar" in the Hindi belt and the studio is putting efforts to get the best possible release against "Dunki". ## According to a report by Pinkvilla, "Dunki" will have a big advantage as multiplexes are favouring the first-time combo of SRK-Hirani over other movies during the Christmas weekend. The report says that social comedy will be getting 46% of the total showcasing in the multiplexes, followed by Salaar, which will be around 30% of the overall shows. "Aquaman 2" manages to get 14% showcasing while 10% will go to holdover "Animal".## The aforementioned is the tentative showcasing scenario in the multiplexes with 3 or more screens, but when it comes to two screens or single screens, the showcasing is diverse and varies from region to region. Some places in the mass belts are favouring "Salaar" due to the action quotient, whereas some of the exhibitors are going for "Dunki" to cheer up their Christmas. ## "Dunki" has an obvious advantage over "Salaar" due to the popularity of SRK and Hirani. The former is also expected to play a vital role in attracting family audiences during the long holiday weekend due to its feel-good comedy-drama genre against "Salaar", which has been certified with adult ratings due to heavy action.## Stay tuned...

'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan' To Be Akshay Kumar's Next Theatrical Release; 'Soorarai Pottru' Remake Postponed

Mumbai, December 6 - Over the last few days, the fans of Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar have been urging the actor on social media that he should schedule the big-budget entertainer Bade Miyan Chote Miyan as his next theatrical release and it seems their wish has been granted. ## According to the latest reports, the Akshay-led Hindi remake of Soorarai Pottru, which is currently scheduled to release in February next year, has been postponed which means the next theatrical release of the actor will be BMCM, keeping a healthy 6-month gap from his last release "Mission Raniganj". ## Akshay is an actor who genuinely cares about the feedback coming from his fans and this is the reason he has scheduled BMCM as his next theatrical release. However, the official announcement regarding the postponement of Soorarai Pottru hasn't been made yet but credible reports have claimed it will be released only after BMCM. ## BMCM, which also stars Tiger Shroff as the main lead alongside Prithviraj Sukumaran as the antagonist, is easily one of the most-awaited Bollywood movies and has the potential to become Akshay's biggest blockbuster. The movie has Manushi Chhillar, Alaya F, and Sonakshi Sinha as the female leads. ## Produced by Pooja Entertainment and Ali Abbas Zafar Films (AAZ Films), the teaser of BMCM is expected to be released during Republic Day 2024 weekend which will kick off promotion and lead to the release of the film that is scheduled on Eid 2024 in multiple languages. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: 'Animal' and 'Sam Bahadur' First Tuesday Early Estimates

Mumbai, December 5 - Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal had a remarkable first Monday at the domestic box office with actual collection coming much higher than the trade projections and that trend continued on Tuesday as well with the sensational hold once again.## As per the early estimates, the Ranbir Kapoor-led action drama film has the biggest non-holiday first Tuesday ever for a Bollywood movie as it scored an estimated 38 crores net collection on its 5th day. The drop from Monday is around 15-20% but the fact that Monday itself went over the roof the hold today is nothing less than extraordinary. ## In Hindi, Animal scored an estimated around 35-36 crores net on the first Tuesday which takes the total collection to around 283 crores net, including 251+ crores in Hindi in just 5 days. The first week should easily be over 330 crores net before going bang bang again in the second weekend. ## Meanwhile, Sam Bahadur starring Vicky Kaushal held firmly on its first Tuesday with no drop at all which was much needed given that Monday's collection was underwhelming. According to early estimates, the film scored around 3.50 crores net, pushing the total collection to around 32.50 crores in 5 days. ## Sam Bahadur is looking to finish the first week around 38-39 crores net which is a good score given the fact that it is up against a volcano-like Animal which is in riot mode. All eyes are now on the second weekend which will decide the fate of Sam Bahadur as far as the lifetime collection is concerned. ## Stay tuned...
