Welcome being a super-success and Taare Zameen Par showing steady escalation isn’t news any more. What is news though is an extended great run at the box office for both the films, which is pretty much on the cards now due to Jodhaa Akbar being postponed to February. Though the official date being cited is February 15, there are still doubts if this would stick on to be the final date.

The first major competition, which comes, the way of Akshay and Aamir is Sunday which hits the screens on January 25, 2008. “The film unabashedly promises to be a mix of action, comedy, romance, and thrills. Director Rohit Shetty appears to have a winner in hands,” says a trade insider. A solo release, it is followed by small/medium budget films like Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na and Superstar, promotion for which is still to begin.

What this means for both Welcome and Taare Zameen Par is that both the films would now have more or less an uninterrupted run for an almost 8 weeks! Astonishing, since in the times when there is competition arriving every Friday, Akshay and Aamir would have as many as two open months for their films.
