Eid 2026 is gearing up to be a blockbuster showdown, folks! Bollywood’s big guns, Ranbir Kapoor and Shah Rukh Khan, are all set to lock horns at the box office once again. But this time, it’s not just a battle of films—it’s a clash of titans! 🎬💥
Flashback to 2007: The Epic Face-Off
Picture this: November 9, 2007, Diwali season. The stage was set for a colossal clash between two cinematic giants. On one side, we had Farah Khan’s "Om Shanti Om" with the Baadshah of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan, and the stunning Deepika Padukone making her debut. On the other, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s "Saawariya," introducing the star kids Sonam Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor. Talk about a high-stakes match!
Farah Khan, in one of her candid chats, once mentioned that "Om Shanti Om" was destined to become the first 100 crore blockbuster, if it hadn’t been for the clash with "Saawariya." Alas, destiny had other plans, and "Saawariya" played spoiler!
Saawariya: The Costly Debut
Ranbir Kapoor’s first foray into Bollywood came with "Saawariya," which opened at a modest 3 crore. With a budget of 45 crore, it ended up earning only 22.31 crore—a major flop, doston! It was one of the most awaited debuts, yet it sank like a stone in the box office ocean. 🤦♂️
Om Shanti Om: The Unstoppable Force
On the flip side, SRK’s "Om Shanti Om" was a juggernaut! Opening with 87% more than "Saawariya," it raked in 5.50 crore on the first day and soared to a massive 78.25 crore collection. With a budget of just 38 crore, it clocked a profit of 105.92%! Farah Khan must have danced with joy, while Ranbir’s team was left scratching their heads. 💃🕺
Eid 2026: The Rematch of the Century?
Fast forward to Eid 2026, and it’s deja vu all over again! Ranbir’s "Love & War" is set to clash with SRK’s "King," which also marks Suhana Khan’s theatrical debut. What a coincidence, na? History seems to be repeating itself, but can Ranbir avenge "Saawariya" by opening 87% higher than "King"? Only time will tell! 🎥
Kiran’s Gyan:
Bollywood is like that overdramatic friend who loves a good story but never learns from the past! So, Ranbir beta, bas dekhte raho! Will you rise like a phoenix or become Bollywood’s eternal underdog? Dhamaal toh pakka hai! 😄
