Eid 2018 release, Race 3 ended its run at the Box-Office at collections in the range of Rs 170 crore, thereby failing to live onto the sky-high expectations. Though the film underperformed at the ticket window, one surely can’t deny the fact that it is merely Salman Khan’s mega-stardom that helped a film with a star-cast and pre-release campaign like Race 3 reach a respectable total. For the first time in years, Aamir Khan too left the audience disappointed as his Diwali release, Thugs of Hindostan is looking to end its run at collections below Rs 150 crore in India. This is a much bigger disappointment that Race 3, especially because the film was packaged a lot better than the Salman Khan film and the audience doesn’t really expect Aamir Khan to associate himself with sub-standard products.
And now the trade awaits the release of Zero, which stars Shah Rukh Khan in lead. As always the expectations are high, but the higher the expectations the more are the chances of disappointment. But here’s why we think, this Aanand L Rai directorial will not prove to be an epic disappointment.
1. Rooted Story

Director Aanand L Rai and his writer, Himanshu Sharma have over the years come up with stories rooted with the Indian culture and Zero seems to be no different. The duo have mastered at the art of making entertaining “desi” films, and going by the trailer this Shah Rukh Khan starrer falls right in the same zone.
2. Accepted trailer
One can’t deny the fact that the trailers of both Race 3 and Thugs of Hindostan didn’t match up to the pre-release expectations. However, with Zero the theatrical trailer has found appreciation all across and in today’s time and age, the audience make up their mind to watch a film based on the theatrical trailer. And well, Zero has create the excitement.
3. Music
Again, unlike the other two Khan’s films, the music of Zero is expected to be a chartbuster. The trailer gave us a glimpse about the romantic track of the film, which is extremely catchy and potentially the love anthem of the year. That apart, the song titled “Ishaqbaaz” featuring Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan is expected to take the buzz of the film to the next level as the ones who have heard the song can’t stop talking about the same.
