New Delhi: It is very rare that we see an unconventional small-budget movie daring to clash with Mega starrers at the box office, especially when that Mega Star is Shahrukh Khan who is making the most anticipated comeback in an action role.
But hey let’s not underestimate Rajkumar Santoshi’s Gandhi-Godse Ek Yudh, which already has built hype on the internet since its trailer release.
On the other hand, Pathaan promises exciting action thriller sequences and a tried and tested harmless storyline.
The crux of this clash would be the conflicting plot of both movies, despite both promoting the apparent idea of patriotism.
But one thing is for sure, that both movies have their fair share of controversies. So which movie will sway the hearts of cinephiles? Well, we are going to make some predictions ahead on the basis of Pathaan and Gandhi Godse Ek Yudh’s trailer.
So, let’s dive in each one by one
Pathaan
Pathaan’s trailer was being widely anticipated after the movie’s songs took the Internet by storm. So, when the trailer got finally released on 10th January, Netizens went gaga shortly.
Packed with prolific stars like Deepika Padukone, John Abraham and obviously the King Khan of Bollywood, Pathaan’s trailer has already garnered 1.2 million likes on YouTube.
Bite-size clips from the trailer are already trending on Twitter along with ‘first-day first show’ which indicates that theatres are going to be jam-packed on 25th January.

Gandhi Godse Ek Yudh
From the looks of its trailer, Gandhi Gadse appears to be following in the footsteps of Vivek Agnihotri’s superhit The Kashmir Files.
The movie’s director Rajkumar Santoshi has taken a 180° turn with Gandhi Godse as his last movie was an action comedy Phata Poster Nikala Hero.
As per the trailer, the movie seems to be set back in 1947 and years afterward the turmoil of partition. The movie has some very heavy political overtones that seem to line with the idea of communalism with the premise of Gandhi surviving Godse’s assassination event.
With such an engaging plot, the trailer was received well so far with many fans saying they are waiting impatiently for the movie. Some say that the movie will give tough competition to Pathaan.
The trailer is looking too good. it’s going to be tough for #Pathaan to standout? https://t.co/p5GGbSD0pq
