★ Trade experts explain why no Hindi or Pan-Indian film clashes with Salman Khan’s films at the box office: “He’s 100% an ORGANIC star; clashing with him can prove SUICIDAL”!

Nov 7, 2023

Salman Khan’s Diwali release Tiger 3 is nearly a week away and the excitement is tremendous. What’s interesting is that it’ll have a solo release of sorts, as no other Hindi or Pan-India South film is clashing on the same day. In fact, Salman Khan has not faced a clash since 2010. The last time that happened was when his 2009 action super-hit film Wanted was released on the same day as Rani Mukerji-starrer Dil Bole Hadippa.

Dabangg (2010), Ready (2011), Bodyguard (2011), Ek Tha Tiger (2012), Dabangg 2 (2012), Jai Ho (2014), Kick (2014), Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015), Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (2015), Sultan (2016), Tubelight (2017), Race 3 (2018), Bharat (2019), Dabangg 3 (2019) and Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan (2023) released with no competition. Antim (2021) faced a collision with Satyameva Jayate 2 (2021) but then it didn’t feature the superstar in the lead.

Other stars haven’t been that fortunate. Shah Rukh Khan’s Dilwale (2015) and Raees (2017) were released alongside Bajirao Mastani (2015) and Kaabil (2017) respectively. SRK is at his best position arguably right now and yet, his next film Dunki will have to share screens with Salaar on Christmas 2023. Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha clashed with Akshay Kumar’s Raksha Bandhan last year. Salman’s last few films have not done well and yet, no one is ready to come on the same Friday as him.

We asked trade experts about this rare phenomenon. Trade veteran Taran Adarsh said, “He has a huge following and is a darling of the masses. The business he has generated over a period of time in mass pockets is phenomenal. Though he has had a rough patch, he's the pied piper of Bollywood.”

Trade analyst Atul Mohan, in agreement, exulted, “Salman is a very big hero of the masses. He has always had such a huge fan following; Shah Rukh Khan ka aisa following ab bana hai. Aamir Khan never had such a mass pull. Salman’s craze is one of a kind. Hence, filmmakers are wary of clashing their films with him. Itna bada hero hai, kaun takkar lega iske saath?”

Girish Johar, producer and film business analyst, remarked, “Salman is the only superstar who people want to see on screen. He has the maximum on-screen superstardom out of all the actors. It’s a very critical factor. He’s also not on our social media every time, going to malls, opening ribbons, dancing, etc.”

He continued, “Unfortunately his films have not worked as he hasn’t paid much attention to the storytelling, packaging, direction, etc. He has that power that if he gets these things right, then there’s no stopping him. That’s why many are wary of clashing with him as they know that at least in the opening weekend, their film will get butchered.”

Raj Bansal, the owner of Entertainment Paradise cinema hall in Jaipur, explained, “Salman Khan is an action hero. When no one was doing action, he was the only action excelling in this genre. Somewhere, his confidence shook and he also did non-action films like Tubelight (2017), Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (2015), etc. Only Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015) worked in this regard. But even when his films were gadbad, they still made Rs. 100 crores plus. There was a time when the hit films of Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn did Rs. 100 crores. But Salman’s flop films do Rs. 100 crores even today! And his hit films have done more than Rs. 300 crores. It’s thanks to him that the industry realized the true potential of a Hindi film. Hence, clashing with him can prove suicidal.”

He also said, “He’s 100% an organic star. Even Sunny Deol is.”

Girish Johar added, “If he moulds himself to the sensibilities that cater to his fans and also provides intelligent content, then sky is the limit. I think Tiger 3 will do well. It ticks all the right boxes.”

Taran Adarsh also said along the same lines, “Tiger 3 being a brand and essaying a role that is much-loved, I am sure it’ll have a great run and a huge opener.”

A Leading Destination for Women's Healthcare and IVF Treatment | Neelam Hospital

Dr. Neelam Bansal and Prem Raj Gupta founded Neelam Hospital, the best private hospital in north India for IVF treatment in Rajpura 30 years ago with a clear mission to become the leading advocates for women's healthcare in the region. Today, this state-of-the-art hospital boasts 150 beds and offers a wide range of specialties, providing top-notch healthcare that is also affordable.

The hospital, having the best IVF Centre in Punjab, serves the communities of Punjab, Haryana, Himachal, and other states and has emerged as the premier multi-specialty hospital in the region. With its cutting-edge infrastructure and advanced equipment, the hospital offers a comprehensive range of specialized services, including Urology, Neurology and neurosurgery, Psychiatry, Oncology, Cardiology, IVF/ICSI, NICU, Joint Diseases, Emergency, Renal Diseases, and others with a commitment to excellence in ensuring the highest quality of care in the safest possible manner.

For couples experiencing difficulties in conceiving or struggling with infertility, IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) provides a solution when other treatments have failed. This IVF hospital in Punjab has a team of experienced fertility specialists who provide individualized care and guidance throughout the entire IVF process. From fertility evaluations and hormonal therapies to egg retrieval, sperm analysis, embryo transfer, and cryopreservation, the hospital follows international safety and hygiene standards. It offers counseling and support services to assist patients in managing the emotional aspects of infertility.

IVF is the exclusive treatment for infertility caused by conditions such as blocked fallopian tubes in females or severe male factor infertility, including low sperm count. IVF aims to overcome infertility by directly intervening and achieving a pregnancy. Typically, fertility medications are used to stimulate the ovaries, resulting in the retrieval of one or more eggs from the ovarian follicles. These eggs are then fertilized in a laboratory setting through the process of in vitro fertilization. Finally, one or more embryos are transferred into the uterine cavity to establish a successful pregnancy.

Salient Features

First NABH Accredited Lab:

The hospital's IVF center is the first NABH-accredited laboratory. NABH is a recognized board that establishes quality control standards for medical practices in the country. The leading IVF center being the top among the fertility hospitals in Punjab strictly adheres to NABH protocols for laboratory operations, patient care, and infection control, ensuring the highest standards of quality and patient safety. Equipped with state-of-the-art reproductive machines and equipment sourced from Germany, Japan, and the USA, the hospital's ISO 9001:2008 certified modular is the best IVF clinic in Punjab which is operated by highly experienced medical professionals.

Lasser Hatching

The success of embryo transplantation relies on successful implantation, making laser hatching a crucial step. It is an innovative medical technique that involves creating a small opening in the embryo’s outer shell. This IVF center in Punjab utilizes laser hatching technology to effectively perform this important procedure, increasing the chances of successful transplantation.

Round-the-clock availability of a Team of Specialists

IVF being a complex medical procedure requires the supervision of qualified medical professionals.

The leading and highly experienced medical professionals at Neelam Hospital have been the sole factor behind the hospital witnessing one of the highest success rates in India

Special Clinic for Recurrent IVF Failure

Sometimes a successful IVF procedure also fails to deliver. The IVF center conducts further assessments and identifies the best strategies and facilities to overcome such challenges. Hence, you can optimize your chances of success at Neelam, the leading IVF hospital in Punjab.

Facility for PGD & PGS

Genetic testing can be divided into two types: Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS) and Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD). PGS analyzes embryo cells to identify genetic abnormalities without known inherited disorders, while PGD detects specific disorders with a high chance of being passed on from parents to children.

The test tube baby center in Punjab has advanced facilities to provide comprehensive treatment for both PGD and PGS.

★ Salman Khan's Tiger 3 has impressed the audience with the India-Pakistan friendship theme and the National Anthem moment - Exclusive!

Nov 13, 2023

Salman Khan's Tiger 3 has broken records on its first day, becoming his biggest opener and earning Rs 43 crore. The film's portrayal of peace with Pakistan has caught attention and is believed to have worked in its favor. Exhibitor Raj Bansal praised the film's story and the performances of Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif. The franchise seems to be a draw at the box office, despite criticism. 

While Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan created an all time box office record just a few months ago when it grossed 1000 crores at the global box office. Now, Pathaan's spy buddy, Salman Khan's Tiger has already broken a record on its first day, for the Diwali day opening number. Not just that, Tiger 3 has also become Salman's biggest opener.  The film earned Rs 43 crore on Day 1 despite garnerning a buzz of mixed reactions.What's caught everyone's attention though is the subject of peace with Pakistan in the film's story line. The exhibition sector feels that has worked in the favour of the film, with the audience reacting positively to the India-Pakistan camaraderie.

Exhibitor and distributor Raj Bansal talks about how this subject has affected the business of the film. He says, "Because of Diwali, some trade offices were closed so they have not been able to report the numbers. The first-day collection is guestimated to be around 43-45 crores. Tiger 3 has created two records. Number one, this is the highest collection for a Diwali day release. Never in the history of Indian cinema has a film that released on Diwali registered this high a number. Number two, this is the highest opening day collection for any Salman Khan starrer. We are looking at 65-70 crores for Day 2. I would say this is total madness and trade euphoria."

Salman Khan’s ‘Tiger 3’ fans burst firecrackers inside a cinema hall in Malegaon while watching the film; videos go viral On the subject of India-Pakistan friendship portrayed in Tiger 3, Bansal says, "I watched this film yesterday. I had no clue about the story. When the Indian National Anthem started playing in the climax, the 50-odd burqa-clad women in front of me in the auditorium stood up. The public from both countries wants peace. Pakistan army is the hindrance in this. This is a beautiful story so Hindu-Muslim both sections of the audience are liking it. Salman Khan is terrific and Katrina Kaif is mind-blowing. When Katrina does action it looks so natural. The audience went crazy over her towel-clad fight in the film.

Bansal further adds, "After Shah Rukh Khan’s entry in the mid-part of the movie, I couldn’t hear anything for the next 15 minutes. The audience had gone berserk. The last post-credit scene with Hrithik Roshan also created a frenzy. The franchise looks solid. War 2 also looks big with Hrithik and NTR Jr." While there are critics and analysts raising questions about Tiger 3's subject and it's appeal, the business that the film has managed is also speaks volumes of the audience's acceptance. The Tiger franchise still seems to be a draw at the box office. 

Sanjay Ghai an exhibitor from Delhi says, "Tiger 3 is a pure mass entertainer with a good story line. It has an appeal for the family audience and I can clearly say, since I have watched the film, it will draw both the classes and the masses. The business on the second day should be around Rs 60 crore."

Ram Setu, Thank God: Will Bollywood's Diwali releases create a dhamaka at the box office? - #BigStory

The festival of Diwali brings along a lot of cheer and like every business, even the film industry waits for a dhamaka with their festive releases. The past few months have not been great for Hindi movies and given the fact that none of the festive releases this year, be it Heropanti 2, Runway 34, or Laal Singh Chaddha, Rakshabandhan, have performed upto the mark. All eyes are now on the two Diwali releases — Ajay Devgn, Siddharth Malhotra and Rakul Preet starrer Thank God, and Akshay Kumar, Jacqueline Fernandes and Nushrratt Bharuccha starrer Ram Setu — to work their magic at the ticket windows.

If we look back at the performances of Bollywood’s Diwali release over the past decade, the collections have almost always been impressive. While Ra.One (2011) grossed about Rs 221 crore worldwide, Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012) collected Rs 235 crore. In the same year, Son of Sardaar grossed Rs 163 crore despite a clash. The following year, Krissh 3 shattered records with a worldwide gross collection of about Rs 384 crore, which was soon broken by Happy New Year next year as the film collected Rs 385 crore. In 2015, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo collected Rs 395 crore which has been the highest for a Diwali release. In 2016, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil clashed with Shivaay. While ADHM collected Rs 229 crore, Shivaay ended up with Rs 124 crore. Golmaal Again (2017) earned Rs 311 crore while Thugs of Hindostan (2018) amassed Rs 320 crore despite poor reviews. 2019 releases Housefull 4, Made In China and Saand Ki Aankh registered collections of Rs 280 crore, Rs 12.78 crore and Rs 23.67 crore respectively. Diwali in 2020 saw films clashing on OTT due to the pandemic but the following year when theatres reopened, Sooryavanshi brought back festive cheer with a collection of about Rs 295 crore worldwide.

This year, both Thank God and Ram Setu have had their share of controversies ahead of their release, but yet the kind of buzz that Diwali releases create every year has been amiss. Besides there are some promising regional films like Gandhada Gudi, Sardar, Padavettu and Har Har Mahadev vying for the audiences’ attention. Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam has also hit the screens this week and there is massive buzz around it already. Amidst all the noise, will Bollywood be able to revive its magic? Will Ram Setu and Thank God create a Diwali dhamaka at the box office?

In today’s #BigStory, we reached out to filmmakers and trade analysts to find out. Read on.

Thank God vs Ram Setu

While the advance bookings for Thank God and Ram Setu look neck-to-neck, trade circuit predicts the collections may not be that impressive as other Diwali releases. Film distributor and analyst Raj Bansal has his doubts. “There is no excitement around both the films and the audience have not been going to the theatres like they used to. The content of the films is a big factor. It’s always the family entertainment films that work on Diwali. So out of the two, I feel Thank God will take over Ram Setu,” he says.
