Which Khan -- Aamir, Shah Rukh or Salman -- film will deliver the biggest hit of 2014?
This year will see the Khan trimumvate having a big release at the box-office. Salman Khan on Eid with Kick, Shah Rukh Khan on Diwali with Happy New Year and Aamir Khan on Christmas with PK. So it is valid to wonder whose film will emerge as the biggest grosser of 2014.
While the audiences seem to believe that this year Kick will rule, trade experts are being cautious. They are reluctant to predict which film will rake in the max moolah.

The three Khans are taking full advantage of the festivals and using them to prove their clout at the boxoffice. All three films are very hot. While Salman has proved that Eid is his favorite date for releasing his films, Aamir treats Christmas as his birthright and Shah Rukh goes for Eid or Diwali. It's difficult to predict which film will be the biggest hit as in their capacities and the three festivals all three are rocking. Happy New Year has a greater chance. Though I feel Kick will be second, Aamir har cheeze mein master hai and plays the safest game. He will stand like a pillar and can pull in all the audiences. It will also depend on how many screens each film gets. Ultimately of course, it's the content that will run at the box office. Kiski taqdeer mein likha hai which will be the biggest hit I can't predict right now.

It's difficult to predict right now which film will be the biggest hit but what I can say is that whenever the three Khans have come on Eid, Diwali and Christmas there has been a tsunami which has wiped out all other films. Iss time ek toofan aane wala hai. So it's tough who will emerge the winner. The simple reason being that all the three are big films, all are releasing during festivals and all three with their favorite directors. These three films will decide the yardstick for next year like Dhoom3 which had made 290 crore last year was a benchmark for 2014. No one, including the actors or distributors, can predict because you never know who will pull up an ace at the last minute.
