The
clash
of
the
titans
this
Diwali
--
Om
Shanti
Om
and
Saawariya
--
is
still
being
written
about
and
discussed
by
one
and
all.
But
await
another
clash
this
Christmas,
for
as
many
as
three
biggies
--
Firoz
A.
Nadiadwala/Anees
Bazmee"s
Welcome,
Rajkumar
Santoshi"s
Halla
Bol
and
Aamir
Khan"s
Taare
Zameen
Par
--
are
confirmed
for
release
on
21st
December.
In
the
past,
Christmas
wasn"t
eyed
by
producers
as
vigorously,
but
2007
is
an
exception.
Reason:
The
producers
are
not
only
looking
at
the
opening
Friday-Sunday
weekend,
but
Monday
and
Tuesday
holidays
as
well,
which
makes
it
a
5-day
weekend.
What
makes
this
clash
all
the
more
significant
is
the
fact
that
it"s
for
the
first
time
that
three
corporate
entities
are
pitted
against
one
another.
While
Studio
18
is
distributing
Welcome
and
PVR
is
involved
in
Taare
Zameen
Par,
Pyramid
Saimira
has
acquired
the
worldwide
rights
of
Halla
Bol.
