The mighty clash at the box office between Geetu Mohandas\u2019\u00a0Toxic: A Fairy Tale For\u00a0Grown-Ups\u00a0and Aditya Dhar\u2019s\u00a0Dhurandhar 2\u00a0on March 19, is making box office experts and film exhibitors nervous.<\/p>\n

\"Dhurandhar<\/p>\n

Dhurandhar 2 vs Toxic: \u201cIf one of the two films shifts, both will benefit,\u201d says Taran Adarsh<\/p>\n

\u201cHow can we accommodate two such huge films on the same Friday? They are both audiences\u2019 favourites of the year. One stars the KGF hero, the other is the\u00a0follow-up\u00a0to the biggest hit of all times. Plus, they are both over three hours long. Who can we properly showcase both films?\u201d asks Kumar Abhishek, a Patna exhibitor.<\/p>\n

There is no possibility of\u00a0Dhurandhar postponing its release. A source very close to the director Aditya Dhar told me, \u201cIt is a hundred percent on. The date March 19 is final and irrevocable. The false stories doing the rounds about the postponement are the desperate elements to play our film down.\u00a0People were spreading such rumours before the release of the first part also.\u201d<\/p>\n

There is a strong possibility of Toxic opting for another release date.<\/p>\n

Observed Trade Guru Taran Adarsh, \u201cThe 19 March clash between Toxic and Dhurandhar 2 should ideally be avoided, and here\u2019s why, in clear industry terms. Both films are hard-hitting, mass-driven spectacles aimed at the same core audience \u2013 single screens + mass belts. A direct clash will split the audience, hurting both films instead of allowing either to realise (its) full potential. Single screens and mass multiplexes can\u2019t support two large-scale films simultaneously and two massive, hugely popular heroes \u2013 Yash after KGF 2 and Ranveer Singh after Dhurandhar.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cOne film will inevitably dominate screen count, while the other suffer reduced shows, especially in interiors. In today\u2019s market, opening weekend dictates a film\u2019s fate. A clash dents opening numbers, perception, and momentum. Instead of one film owning the conversation, social media, and trade chatter, attention gets fragmented. 19 March carries holiday \/ festive potential in multiple circuits. A solo release would fully capitalise on it. If even one of the two films shifts, both benefit. A smart release strategy today is not about ego or bravado \u2013 it\u2019s about maximising theatrical value.\u201d<\/p>\n
