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 10^th 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 9^th 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.

Rarely do you come across a story where you do not need an entire narration to decide if you want to be a part of a film or not.What is even more rare is to not be able to articulate and put into words what you feel for the film and it’s journey… Chhapaak is all of that and more for me… Presenting the poster of #Chhapaak #AbLadnaHai @meghnagulzar @vikrantmassey87 @_kaproductions @foxstarhindi @mrigafilms

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.
