Box Office Predictions: Salman Khan, Ali Abbas Zafar, Katrina Kaif’s Bharat Set To Take A Very Good Start On Eid

Finally the day has come when the biggest film of the year so far, Bharat, is set for release. Always touted to be an Eid arrival, the film is as big as it gets. Salman Khan’s name is synonymous with Eid and it was just apt that Bharat comes on this day. Yes, his last Eid release Race 3 couldn’t cover the distance but still it took a good opening at least. The one before that, Tubelight, of course disappointed from all ends. However, it is expected that Bharat would be huge and there are many reasons for that.

First and foremost the film brings back the combination of Salman Khan and director Ali Abbas Zafar. Together they have delivered two 300 Crore Club Blockbusters in the form of Tiger Zinda Hai and Sultan. Ali Abbas Zafar thinks commercial and that’s how he has made his films so far and presented Salman Khan. With the kind of theme that Bharat boasts of, one waits to see yet another rollicking entertainer.

Moreover, the film is as big as it gets. With Katrina Kaif in there, there is added credibility to the film as there are two superstars featuring in a major film that brings in mass as well as class elements together. Further to this, the Eid factor is huge too. Audiences have been waiting for a quintessential Salman Khan release for a while and though even Bharat is not seemingly a Sultan or a Tiger Zinda Hai, it could well get into a Bajrangi Bhaijaan mode due to the emotional connect factor.
