Two of the biggest releases of 2022 are set to clash when they release on August 11. Akshay Kumar's ensemble drama Raksha Bandhan will fight it out against Aamir Khan's official Hindi adaptation of Tom Hanks' iconic Forrest Gump in Laal Singh Chaddha. While, big budget clashes are a cause for worry among filmmakers, one has to remember that apart from Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and a string of flops, Bollywood has not really seen much in terms of revenue at ticket windows.
The two films, releasing, on the same day, thus, could be a golden opportunity for the Hindi film industry to bring back the audience to theatres. Amid all this, some trade experts are also of the opinion that Akshay Kumar's Raksha Bandhan might have just played a trump card against Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan's Laal Singh Chaddha.
Aamir Khan and Akshay Kumar are two of the biggest superstars in Indian cinema and as such will warrant the audience to theatres, but, as it turns out, Raksha Bandhan's slightly shorter run time could actually turn the tide in its favour.

Film producer and business analyst Girish Johar, earlier today took to Twitter to state that Raksha Bandhan's run time could actually be a masterstroke against Laal Singh Chaddha. He shared, Run time of #RakshaBandhan of 110mins is a critical MASTERSTROKE by its makers. More shows at mpxs will change BO denominator with more screen time play! #LaalSinghChaddha run time is 165mins ! 1screen will have 4shows of #LSC vis a vis 6shows of #RB.”
Meanwhile, as per a report in DNA, while interacting with media, Aamir opened up about the clash between Laal Singh Chaddha and Raksha Bandhan, stating, "I hope both the films do well. I have seen the trailer of Raksha Bandhan and I really liked it. I was asking do we make films that are relevant. Here is a film that is relevant. It is a film of a common man who does have problems of economic issues."
He added, "I am hoping the film is well made, but certainly, it is a topic which is relevant to us. I am sure it'll do well and I hope it does well. I hope our film (Laal Singh Chaddha) also does well."
