15 big Bollywood theatrical releases coming up |
Bollywood has lined up several big-ticket theatrical releases to recover from and perhaps cash in as COVID-19 unlock begins in India. Some 15 big Bollywood movies waiting to be released in theatres along with 35-40 medium-size films in the pipeline. Heading the line-up is Akshay Kumar`s big- budget venture “Bell Bottom” opening on the big screens on July 27. It`s the first Hindi film to get a theatrical release in 2021, and perhaps the first since COVID-19 began. In addition, Pen Studios has announced its line-up of upcoming ventures. These include films like Alia Bhatt-starrer “Gangubai Kathiawadi”, the remake of Tamil film “Anniyan” starring Ranveer Singh, John Abraham`s “Attack” and Telugu multi-starrer “RRR”. Industry pundits claim that “Bell Bottom” release will change the perception in the market. Other studios will follow. It will also have a big impact like `Master` had in South India. This is to recall that “Master” released in January 2021 exceeded the pre-pandemic box office numbers despite 50 percent capacity in theatres. This is what “Bell Bottom” is expected to do for Bollywood. Other films lined up for theatrical release include Akshay Kumar`s “Sooryavanshi”, Ranveer Singh`s “83” and “Jayeshbhai Jordaar”, Aamir Khan`s “Laal Singh Chaddha”, “Prithviraj”, “Atrangi Re”, “RRR” (Hindi), "Jersey” and “Satyameva Jayate 2”, among others.
