November is filled with entertainment, and the Indian film industry is making sure to confuse you with which movie to watch as there are going to be some serious box office clashes. This month started with yet another huge clash between Kartik Aaryans Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Ajay Devgns Singham 3. As these blockbusters release today, lets have a look at the biggest box office clashes in the history of Bollywood.
1. Lagaan vs Gadar
You can call this the clash of Bollywood's titans, with Aamir Khan on one side and Sunny Deol on the other. It was perhaps one of the most memorable box-office clashes.While Gadar led on the box office by an edge, Lagaan walked away with international recognition, critical acclaim, and an Oscar nomination. Both movies were beyond spectacular and delivered the spirit of patriotism at its best.
2. Raees vs Kaabil
Once again, it was a war of two superheroes: Shah Rukh Khan's Raees vs. Hrithik Roshan's Kaabil. While both movies performed well at the box office, Raees saw a higher collection, primarily due to SRK's fanbase.
3. Dilwale vs Bajirao Mastani
It all came down to which couple ruled the hearts of Bollywood fans. Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, or Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone, was a tough choice.Despite the iconic Bollywood pair headlining Dilwale, it was Bajirao Mastani who enjoyed a higher box office win. Along with the power couple, the period drama also featured Priyanka Chopra in the titular role.
4. Zero vs KGF
It was not just Bollywood; this box office clash was between two industries. Zero had big names like Shah Rukh Khan, Anushka Sharma, and Katrina Kaif associated with it. Despite this, the critics and trade analysts were proven wrong by a pan-Indian film.KGF: Chapter 1 saw a monstrous success with South superstar Yash headlining the film. The movie also starred Srinidhi, Raveena Tandon, Sanjay Dutt, and Prakash Raj in prominent roles.
While Zero received disastrous reviews, KGF saw a sequel to the first installment, which was yet another massive blockbuster.
5. Animal vs Sam Bahadur
The two blockbusters took the box office by storm with some power-packed performances by Ranbir Kapoor in Animal and Vicky Kaushal in Sam Bahadur.While one is an action drama filled with violence and emotions, the latter is based on the real-life story of India's first field marshal, Sam Manekshaw, and the way he changed the face of the Indian army.
After Lagaan and Gadar, this one would be yet another iconic box office clash in the history of Bollywood.
6. Ulajh vs Auron Mein Kahaan Dum Tha
Janhvi Kapoor and Ajay Devgn went head-to-head in August 2024, as yet another Friday sees a clash of two blockbusters. While the star kid starred with an intense political drama, Ajay teamed up with Tabu for a romantic saga.
7. Stree 2 vs Khel Khel Mein vs Vedaa
August 15, 2024, saw a monstrous war between three highly anticipated movies as Stree 2, Khel Khel Mein, and Vedaa clash on the same date. All three of them are headlined by prominent Bollywood actors.Stree 2 reunited Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, while Khel Khel Mein had a stellar star cast including Akshay Kumar and Vaani Kapoor. An out-and-out action drama, Vedaa was headlined by John Abraham and Sharvari.
8. Singham Again vs Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3
Kartik Aaryan and Ajay Devgn entered into the biggest box office fights with these infamous franchises. Rohit Shetty's Singham Again clashes with Anees Bazmee's Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.While one was an out-and-out power-packed with intense action, the other was a rib-tickling horror comedy with Vidya Balan making a comeback as OG Manjulika.
9. Raid 2 vs HIT 3
It seems Ajay Devgn loves entering into these box office clashes. After Singham, he will go head-to-head with South superstar Nani's HIT: The Third Chapter on May 1.
Both of these sequels have been much awaited. While Raid 2 brings back Ajay as an honest officer, Amay Patnaik, HIT 3 will build up the thrill like never before.
