5 Times The Khans Were The Losers In Box Office Clashes

From a neutral perspective, box office battles -- which have been the trend in Bollywood for quite some time -- are utterly fascinating. When two big-budgeted, highly marketed films open on the same day and fight for audiences' attention, it is a spectacle in itself. 

And Khans (SRK, Aamir, Salman) being as successful as they are, are expected to win these clashes each time, right? Firstly, why filmmakers would go head to head with any movie that stars the biggest stars in the country. And, if they do that, they would only fail. 

But, ironically, this is just a mirage. As everybody loses BO clashes sometimes, yes, even Khans
