It is never a wise decision to release your film alongside an SRK flick. Don€™t believe us? Ask Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Sajid Nadiadwala!
Ekta Kapoor is the latest victim of marketing guru Khan€™s unmatched promotional skills and ability to sense the pulse of the public; as the much-hyped EID clash ended up being a one horse race.
Despite a massive pre-release marketing campaign, Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbai Dobaraa could not pass the box office test and was completely run over by the pace of Chennai Express. And while Ekta may go around town crying foul, history shows that when it comes to a box office clash, SRK will go all-out to make sure his film delivers and is the first choice of cinegoers all over the world. Fans too have always responded in huge numbers by supporting SRK's releases in a clash. And a clash seems to bring out the best in SRK's creativity as well.
Here's a look at some past examples when rival releases had to bow down to the King!
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai/Bade Miyan Chote Miyan - Even though Amitabh Bachchan and Govinda's combo under the direction of David Dhawan was the front runner among trade gurus, Karan Johar's debut film eventually had the last laugh. The risk of casting lover-boy SRK as the father of an eight-year-old worked, and team KKHH laughed away to the bank by making fans smile and cry in equal measure.

The aam janta won't care about BOI. They'll see the producer figures on the newspapers, magazines and other news sources and think 3I record is gone regardless of what BOI reports in the upcoming weeks. 😆
