DNA (November 7, 2017)

The Christmas 2018 slot has suddenly turned out to be an extremely crowded one. A month back, there was only Aanand L Rai’s film starring Shah Rukh Khan releasing on that day, but now, Rohit Shetty, too, wants to cash in on the festive date for his film with Ranveer Singh. But that’s not it. It just might become a three-way clash with Abhishek Kapoor eyeing the same date for Kedarnath.

It has happened before
Shah Rukh and Ranveer have clashed at the box office previously in 2015 with Dilwale and Bajirao Mastani. Both the movies had released on December 18 two years ago. It looks like history just might repeat itself.

The new contender
Kedarnath, which stars Sushant with Sara Ali Khan, too, has been announced for the same date. With a three-way clash, we wonder if one of these will change the plan and opt for another date. It’s bad enough because when two movies clash, they eat into each other’s collections, three will definitely prove detrimental.
