Chhapaak, Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior and Darbar, a three-way clash on the cards

Clashes are nothing new in Bollywood. Now, mostly every week there is more than one film hitting the screens. Sometimes because of the clash one film faces the loss and the other becomes a hit at the box office, and sometimes both the films do well.

The first major clash of 2020 is going to be between Deepika Padukone, Ajay Devgn, and Rajinikanth. Well, we all knew that Chhapaak and Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior was slated to release on 10th January 2020, now it has been confirmed that Rajinikanth starrer Darbar will also be hitting the screens during the same weekend. The movie will be releasing on 9th January 2020.


While Darbar is a South film, like mostly all Rajinikanth movies this one will also be dubbed in Hindi and will get a good release in the Hindi belt. Even if we don’t look at the collection the film would do in the Hindi belt, still, Chhapaak and Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior would face a huge competition down South.

The makers of Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior has decided to release their film in Marathi, so they can get a good response in the interiors of Maharashtra as well. While Tanhaji and Darbar would be an attraction for masses, Deepika’s Chhapaak is clearly a film for multiplex audiences.

For now, content-wise, it is Chhapaak which is looking strong and Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior clearly looks like a movie made a big scale. We now wait for the trailer of Darbar which will be released today. It will be interesting to see if Chhapaak and Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior will face tough competition from Darbar or not.

I’m Mareyah, a sustainability strategist and passionate home cook, exploring the links between climate, culture and food. Drawing on my Pakistani heritage, I champion the value of traditional knowledge and everyday cooking as a powerful - yet often overlooked - tool for climate action. My work focuses on making sustainability accessible by celebrating the flavours, stories and practices that have been passed down through generations.

As someone who grew up surrounded by the flavours and stories of my Pakistani heritage, food has always been more than nourishment - it’s about connections, culture and memory. It’s one of the only things that unites us all. We cook it, eat it and talk about it every day, even if our ingredients and traditions differ. We live in a world where climate change is a looming threat, and we’re constantly seeing images of crises and mentions of highly technical or political answers. But, what if one of the solutions was closer to home?
