KEEPING A TAB ON HIS RIVALS: Aamir Khan's Hawk's Eye On Ae Dil Hai Mushkil...
Aamir Khan had gathered his buddies from Bollywood for a glitzy Diwali bash recently. Other than the A-list, including Shah Rukh Khan, Sanjay Dutt, Vidya Balan and Farhan Akhtar, Aamir had also invited his trusted lieutenants including some filmi scribes and trade watchers.

SpotboyE.com too was there, watching the glamorous shenanigans.

Ae Dil Hai Mushkil had released two days ago and obviously, most in the room had seen the much awaited film.

While the party was in full swing, Aamir had formed a small circle around him and the conversation revolved around the Karan Johar film starring Ranbir Kapoor, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Anushka Sharma.

Aamir was keen to know, what the circle, including industry folks, exhibitors and journalists thought about the film and its possible box-office collection.

He obviously wanted to suss out the competition for his December 23 release, Dangal.

And the unanimous opinion was that Ae Dil Hai Mushkil will not break any box-office records, a la Sultan.

Interestingly, the Salman Khan starrer which reportedly broke all box-office records in Bollywood with an international haul of more than 500 crores, too was based on the life of a wrestler, like Dangal.

When this comparison was drawn, Aamir replied saying that Dangal had the added advantage of well-researched acting and a strong emotional core.

But apprehension still seemed to hang over him. The reason seemed to be the underperformance of Fan, a much-hyped project which failed to
impress audiences despite the star power of Shah Rukh Khan.

But the members of his circle assured him that come December, he will be a happy man. Will he? X-Mas will bring the answer.
