The clash between the two biggies, Karan Johar's ‘Kurbaan’ and Priyadarshan's ‘De Dana Dan’, has been averted. Initially, the two films were supposed to battle it out on the same date - 27th November - but the release dates have been altered. ‘Kurbaan’ will come a week before, on 20th November, while ‘De Dana Dan’ will stick to the date - 27th November.

"That's true," Siddharth Roy Kapur of UTV [that holds the rights of ‘Kurbaan’], confirmed to this writer, "Haven't we noticed time and again that such clashes don't benefit anyone? So instead of battling it out with each other, we decided to re-schedule our release and bring it one week before [20th November]. That way we won't be eating into each other's business." A wise move indeed!
