Now that Karan Johar has confirmed plans for the release of
his Dostana (the film is all set to arrive on 14th November),
it has surfaced way for a significant question to be asked. Will
Harman Baweja’s VICTORY move ahead in order to
avoid a clash with Priyanka starrer Dostana? Will Priyanka’s
Dostana lead to move Harman Baweja’s VICTORY to
avoid a clash with Dostana?
There are a couple of reasons which front this question.
First and foremost being the ‘good friendship’ being
shared between Harman and Priyanka. Honestly, the two ‘friends’
won’t really be looking forward to their own films clashing
with each other at the box office. Of course it is a professional
world out there but when it comes to the matters of heart, it
only makes sense that the respective films of Harman and Priyanka
keep a secure distance from each other.
Secondly, and perhaps even more importantly, Bawejas would certainly
be looking forward to seriously avoiding yet another LOVE
STORY 2050 v/s JAANE TU YA JAANE NAA scenario. They
have burnt their fingers already with the much hyped debut launch
of Harman getting severely impacted due to presence of some mighty
competition which goes by the name of Aamir Khan. Nothing lesser
can be expected from Karan Johar who has been known for his marketing
acumen.
In fact a couple of years back when KABHI ALVIDA NAA KEHNA
had released, even the makers of OMKARA were forced to
cry sabotage as it’s release was dangerously close to Karan
Johar’s multi starrer.
There won’t be any respite in case of Dostana
as well which would certainly go all out in it’s promotional
drive. A feel good comic entertainer, Dostana also boasts
of good star power comprising of Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham,
Bobby Deol and of course Priyanka Chopra which would only make
things difficult for VICTORY. With debutant director
Ajit Pal at the helm of affairs and Amrita Rao as the leading
lady opposite Harman, on the paper VICTORY certainly doesn’t
look like posing a challenge to Dostana.
Now one looks forward to an official announcement from the Bawejas!
