SOS and JTHJ literally fight it out this Diwali

when SOS didn't move their date, it was called business.
Now when YRF makes a deal to have their films get prominence its disgusting..

YRF statement on Son of Sardar vs Jab Tak Hai Jaan:

We were indeed quite surprised to receive an intimation from Ajay Devgn Films’ lawyers today saying that they had filed a complaint with the Competition Commission of India against YRF, alleging malpractice committed by us in connection with the release of JAB TAK HAI JAAN and thereby affecting the release of Son of Sardar. For a company like ours, which has maintained the highest standards of work ethics and fair play, this has really come as a shock.

We would like to clarify at the outset that we still haven’t received any notice from the Commission and will suitably represent our stance if and when called upon to do so. Worldwide, as well as in India, distributers often sign deals for their complete annual slate of films to simplify the process. We trust the Competition Commission will also see it as universally acceptable fair business practise.

As we have mentioned in the past, all the exhibitors, when approached by us earlier this year for booking their theatres, were happy to play out Yashji’s movie considering their long standing and emotional relationship and goodwill with YRF of over 40 years. A Yash Chopra/Shah Rukh Khan movie, coming after a gap of 8 long years, did not need any coercion for contractual screening. Additionally, some exhibitors, who played EK THA TIGER, have chosen not to screen JAB TAK HAI JAAN.

Interestingly, of the 10500 plus single screens available on an all-India basis, we have booked less than 1500 single screens (an industry norm for an A-lister movie), a fact that has been common knowledge for some time now. If this was an issue, why wasn’t it raised earlier? Why wait till now when both films are nearing release?

We had announced JAB TAK HAI JAAN would be a Diwali 2012 release as far back as 27th June 2011 and thereafter every press release of ours reiterated this. Given that most big ticket films avoid simultaneous releases, it was odd that Son of Sardar announced their release for the same day almost a year later on 29th May 2012. They were also able to lock their final distribution partner as late as 4th Oct 2012. It would seem odd that they would expect us to wait for our release plans to be put in place till they had finalised theirs!

It is also unfair to say that we are in any way in a dominant position. While we are releasing just three films this year, the two production houses in question, VIACOM 18 & EROS, who are distributing Son of Sardar, have a combined release strength of almost 27 films in a year.

Everyone agrees that the festive time of Diwali has space for two simultaneous releases. Give the audience a choice to choose the one they want to watch. Few of the exhibitors have already chosen, on the basis of a business decision, the one they want to exhibit.

ajay and salman what can I say for you, first you or the team of SOS accuse shahrukh fans and PR to be behind the great dislikes on po po song, second you threaten the workers of cinema to give your movie more screen space, third you do that. I just think if some one is so insecure about his movie then better for him to know his position and does not compete with even movies of young stars, what about competing with shahrukh movie then?

This is atrocious if they had done it. It does not reflect well on YRF productions part if this story has any shred of truth to itself. Competition is a part and parcel of any industry. But using your position to hurt someones business and eliminate compitition, that is cheapest form of strategy I have ever heard of.

I WILL WATCH THIS MOVIE IF CHOPRAS PROMISE THEY WILL DONATE ANYTHING THEY COLLECT OVER 100 CRORES TO UNDER PRIVILEGE PEOPLE IN THE MEMORY OF YASH JI.

MAY BE THEY COULDNT GIVE HIM WHAT HE NEEDED, ATLEAST THEY CAN MAKE SOME CONTRIBUTION(FROM HIS HARD EARNED MONEY) IN HIS NAME.

JTHJ IS A SAD MOVIE, ONE SHOULDNT WATCH DURING DIWALI.

Reply to Fiza Khan - Totally disagree with you.
you need to speak for yourself, not everybody.
No everyone is not going to watch this movie.
I have the highest regards and greatest respect for Yash Raj ji, his movie doesnt have to make200 crores, for him to be remembered as Legendary Film Maker. He already has earned his reputation for his work and name.

One can watch a DVD at home, and still pay tribute to him for making good movies.

Besides, all the money this movie is going to make, his son Aditya going to get it, and he is the same person who is fighting his wife tooth and nail in paying her alimony for the MARRIAGE HE WRECKED FOR HIS OWN PLEASURE OF BEDDING HIS EMPLOYEE AND CARRIED ON THE EXTRA MARITAL AFFAIR FOR YEARS.

PEOPLE, PLEASE WATCH THE MOVIE ON DVD, AND REMEMBER YASH JI AS THE GREATEST FILM.MAKER, HUSBAND AND A FATHER.

I THINK MILLIONS OF WOMEN WILL CHERISH HIS CHARACTER FOREVER.

@YRF TEAM SUCK BIG TIME.
THEY ALREADY HAVE PLENTY OF MONEY, DONT NEED MORE.
REST OF THE COUNTRY, PEOPLE HAVE TO FEED THEIR FAMILIES TOO.
THEY ALREADY HAVE MORE THAN THEY CAN DIGEST IN THEIR LIFE TIME, INCLUDING WOMEN.

films are for sense of art, poetry, entertainment etc. if someone wants to feed his family he should look for regular job.

IN WHAT WORLD ARE PEOPLE LIVING IN ? AJAY WILL LOOSE EVEN IF HIS FILM BECOMES BLOCKBUSTER AND YRF FILM DISASTER; YOU KNOW WHY ? HE ACCUSED YRF ( PRACTICALLY THE WHOLE FILM INDUSTRY) OF CORUPTION AND NEPOTISM. HE WILL HAVE TO LIVE WITH CONSEQUENCES.

personally i prefer to watch classy, well made, emotional and romantic dramas to these 100 crore masala craps which only sadak chaaps enjoy.

Who the hell wants to see son of sardar really?? why even bother making such dumb films!!.............that's not the point every one knows jthj will win bcos of the sympathy factor and the ETT screens they cunningly stole but ajay should be given equal screens..hate any form of bullying and who tell you that SOS is a dumb movie bcos its no different from an old man with girls young enough to be his daughters in a film..is it bcos it is packaged well
